Acorn Festival 2020

The annual week-long Acorn Festival is now underway. Many trees around town will have acorns underneath them.

Jeff picks up acorns in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Our job is to gather them up, separate the rotten ones, and give the rest to the “mysterious” Cornimer…who is totally not Tortimer in disguise. 😉 Because that would just be corny.

Cornimer: But the Great Cornimer hungers for more! MORE, I SAY!
You don’t have to yell.

In return, he gives out mush furniture when the number of acorns you’ve given him reaches certain thresholds. He also can use acorns to predict your future. Here’s a look at the fortune he gave me:

Your secret fortune: Medium Acorn. Life: Yes... I think. Hopes: It should work. Karma: You're on track. Look behind you!

In other news, Benedict was packed up and ready to move out of town. I considered letting him go. I really did! But I checked and saw it’s only been two weeks since he gave me his photo, and that seemed too soon. But I’m going to let someone go one of these weeks, seriously. 😛

Benedict: Huh huh huh! Maybe I'll stick around a little bit longer, red roost!

In all, I gave Cornimer 102 acorns and he gave me seven pieces of furniture: The mush stool, mush end table, mush lamp, mush chair, mush dresser, mush closet, and mush stand.

I sold all seven pieces, but Tom Nook only paid 15,600 bells for them all. That was a lot of work for just 15k! Not to mention, I have a mess of rotten acorns on the ground near town hall that I have to clean up.

Both of the elephants in town (Big Top and Margie) asked me for new catchphrases tonight. Big Top even asked twice! But I told them both to keep using the phrases they already had.
