Rowan Into Town

I spoke with Goldie near town hall today, and she asked how I would describe her relationship with Rowan. I didn’t even know Rowan was my new villager, so she spoiled the surprise…just like Rolf spoiled Samson’s arrival recently. 😛

Goldie: How would you describe my relationship with Rowan?

A slider appeared with the options “best friends” and “mortal foes.” Since Rowan just moved in, I figured she probably didn’t know him well enough for either of those to be accurate, so I left the slider in the middle. That answer was correct, and Goldie gave me a mochi pestle as my prize.

I then went to meet Rowan for myself. The new tiger in town called me skinny and said I should drink some protein-enriched peach nectar.

Rowan: You oughta drink protein-enriched peach nectar now and then, skinny!

I’ve had Rowan in City Folk before, and I liked him. But that’s not a guarantee that I’ll like him in Wild World. We’ll see!

Peanut is looking forward to the Bug-Off coming up on Sunday. In fact, she said she even got a bite-proof dress to prevent the bugs from taking revenge on her. 😀

Peanut: I got this cute bite-proof dress to keep the bugs from taking revenge on me.

There were no special visitors in town today. But I’ll keep checking for them, and I’ll be back with another entry soon.

4th UFO

On Friday, at the first x:x7 time, Gulliver’s UFO flew overhead. I was ready and waiting for it, so I shot it down without any trouble. This was my 4th UFO shot down in Wild World.

The UFO begins its descent after being shot down.

I ran to the crash site and woke up the sole survivor. He counted the planets to figure out where he landed: the third rock from the sun. 😛

Gulliver: Let's see. One sun: check. Planets: one...two...three... Third planet: check.

He asked me to find the missing parts of his spaceship, and of course I helped him out. When I gathered them up and returned them, Gulliver rewarded me by giving me a compass. Not exactly the most exciting reward, but I guess it’ll keep me from getting lost?

Before wrapping up my day Friday, I gave Goldie some more medicine, and I found a water bird in the recycle bin.

Today, the Happy Room Academy sent me my latest house score: 169,955 points. I’m starting to think that a score of 200k is doable, especially if I complete my space room and get a few more villager photos. I’ll probably have to get rid of more flowers from my left room, but I think I’ll go for it (eventually). I don’t believe I’ve ever earned 200k HRA/HHA points in any game.

A message posted to the bulletin board informed me that the Bug-Off is coming up on Sunday. That’s good news, because I’ll be able to give Tortimer the massage chair and get the scallop I need for Pascal! So I could potentially get my golden axe by next week. 🙂

- Notice - This Sunday is the long-awaited Bug-Off! Get buggy with it!

I was prepared to give more medicine to Goldie today, but she is now over her cold! I think she got over it quicker than Margie did. Goldie rewarded me with a mixer.

Goldie: I'll never forget your kindness! It's nice to know you're there for me.
Glad I could help! Just don’t move out like Margie did.

Peanut asked me to make a delivery for her, so I took an orange tie-dye over to Rolf for her. Rolf seemed to like the shirt, even though he called Peanut an unstylish animal. 😛

Rolf: Hey, that's not so bad! It's better than I expected from that unstylish animal!

Peanut rewarded me with 510 bells.

Margie’s replacement still has not moved in. I’ll be back with another entry later in the week (but not tomorrow). Hope to see you then!

Massage Chair from Saharah

I spotted Saharah as soon as I came out of my house today. So I grabbed my turban, and headed over to speak with her. She noticed the turban immediately, and she asked if she could have it. Of course!

Saharah: Friend, I am ashamed, but I must have a favor... Please give me that turban, yes?!

Saharah was really happy about the turban, saying that she has nothing to fear now. She said “Not even the desert sun can touch me!” In return, she gave me a massage…chair.

Saharah: I was ordering goods, and got a massage chair by accident!

That was good news, because that’s the item I needed to continue on and get the golden axe. The next step, according to Thonky’s golden axe guide, is to give the massage chair to Tortimer. He should be outdoors for the Bug-Off later this month, so I can give it to him then. In the meantime, I tested it out!

Trying out the massage chair in Animal Crossing: Wild World.
It massaged my mush-cles.

Anyway, I spoke with Saharah again and I was able to make deliveries for her. I took a rug to Tom Nook, a carpet to Mabel, and then a carpet to Blathers.

Blathers: I've been atwitter with anticipation, and finally, it's here! Woo hoo, I say!

For my reward, Saharah let me choose either an ancient wall or a music room floor. I chose the former.

I saw a balloon present, so I shot it down; there was a Corinthian post inside. Hmm, I wonder how that balloon was strong enough to carry a Corinthian post, and yet weak enough to be popped by a pebble from a slingshot. 😛

There was a new “Talking to Myself” message on the bulletin board. The author said she just ate some candy that has as much Vitamin C as 300 lemons! That must be some really sour candy!

-Talking to Myself- I just ate some candy with the same amount of vitamin C as 300 lemons... I'm covered for life!
I don’t think it works that way, but I guess we’ll C.

Goldie was still sick, so I gave her some more medicine. I’m starting to feel like this is just a medicine-dispensing game. 😂

When I spoke with Peanut, she said she was on a really tight budget this month…that’s why she was hunting for bugs to sell. But she apparently hates looking for bugs, and considers it to be a gross job. 😛

Peanut: Still, what a gross job! How long do I have to live like this, slacker?!

Even though I plan on playing tomorrow, there probably won’t be a new entry unless something major happens (like Margie’s replacement moving in). But I’ll be back with more next week! Enjoy your weekend, and Never Stop Crossing!
