Month: June 2021

Lyle was hanging outside my house today, just waiting for me. However, I did my best to avoid him. Instead, I spoke with Rolf…and instantly regretted it. 😛 He accused me of yelling, and then he accused me of going in people’s houses and rummaging through their stuff.

Margie came over and asked Rolf why he has to start a fight every time they talk. How fitting, considering he just did the same thing with me!

Rolf said that he’s a master of fighting, because he’s already fought every “battle” (conversation) in his head a million times.

Margie was just trying to invite Rolf over for some cupcakes, but he called her a doodie head. So the conversation ended on a bad note (and without cupcakes). It’s hard to like Rolf very much in this game.

Nookington’s had a spotlight product today, but it was just a blue corner (part of a boxing ring). I bought it for my catalog, even though I wasn’t exactly thrilled about it. 😛

Mathilda’s replacement has arrived, and it’s Olivia the cat. Olivia may be cute, but she’s snooty…and she was one of my original enemies in the GameCube version of Animal Crossing many years ago.

When I visited Bunnie, she told me she’s been pigging out on fried dough.

She then told me she’s on a diet, but she wondered why she wasn’t having any results!

Later on, I wrapped up my night with a performance of Imperial K.K. at the Roost.

The Bug-Off is coming up tomorrow, and I just might participate this time. So maybe I’ll see you with another entry then!

I received Mathilda’s goodbye letter in the mail, so she is finally gone.

I knew today wasn’t a UFO day, because Booker told me that Dr. Shrunk was in town. He remembered because of the yellow blazer.

But I actually didn’t see Dr. Shrunk at all in town…not that I cared. 😛

Antonio asked me to compete to see who could catch the rarer bug, and I agreed to the challenge.

Benedict asked me to open a can of food that expired last year. When I declined the offer, he called me a judgmental jerk. Thanks a lot, friend.

As I finished up that conversation with Benedict, I heard a tarantula nearby. I tracked it down and caught it. I rushed over to Antonio and chose the option that said “Look at my bug!” He said that my tarantula beat his best catch (a mosquito), so he gave me a dart board as my prize. However, he kept my tarantula! So by “winning,” I ended up trading an 8,000 bell bug for an item that sells for a few hundred bells. Oof. I guess “winning” is really losing.

When I visited Margie, she scolded me for opening other people’s drawers and cabinets…even though I didn’t.

I saw a large fish shadow in the river, and I fished out a tire.

Phyllis was having some coffee down in the Roost, and she rudely asked what I was “gawking” at.

Without giving me a chance to answer or defend myself (for doing nothing more than simply speaking to her), she angrily told me to go away.

There was so much negativity in Forest tonight that it seems to feel like the real world. Nothing seems to be going right lately. 😩 I hope you’re all having better luck.

Lately, I’ve been checking for Gulliver’s UFO each time I start up the game. In a previous comment, Drago said that if it’s a UFO day, it will appear the first time the last digit of the clock hits 2 or 7, as long as you’re outdoors.

I started up the game at 6:00 p.m. today, and I grabbed my slingshot and stood by the gate. However, 6:02 came and went with no sign of the UFO. But I checked again at 6:07, and there it was! I fired my slingshot and hit it on my first attempt!

It crash landed in the eastern part of town, just a bit north of town hall.

This is my 2nd UFO that I’ve shot down in Wild World (though I’ve shot down more than 30 in ACCF). I woke up Gulliver and he thanked me for rescuing him (though I didn’t actually drag him out of the wreckage like he thought).

He asked me to find the missing parts of his ship, and of course I agreed to help out. The five pieces were scattered around town.

When I visited Mathilda, I saw that she was all packed up and ready to move out! She’s been my least-favorite villager in town for quite a while (although I don’t hate her), so I did not try to stop her.

Rolf wanted to sell me a mystery item for 3,000 bells. I told him I wasn’t interested, and he angrily said maybe he wasn’t interested in me.

Margie then asked me to buy a blue retro shirt for 410 bells. That’s a more reasonable price, so I bought the shirt…and put it on.

The last UFO part was causing me some trouble, but I eventually found it. So I took all five pieces back to Gulliver, and he rewarded me with some plate armor…which I put it in my house.

Even though Wild World is about 16 years old and I’ve had my town for nearly five years, my UFO hunting is just getting off the ground. I will continue checking for the UFO each time I play; Gulliver and I will meet again!
