Player Two, Pelly Dialogue

Yesterday, I made a second character…for the sole purpose of unlocking spotlight items at Nook’s, so that I can complete my museum. So I hopped into Kapp’n’s taxi and went for a ride.

Kapp'n: Yar har har har HAR! I see, ye wee goldfish. Plenty o' pirate's booty!

I named the new character Villager, and Kapp’n dropped me off outside of town hall.

Kapp'n drops off a new Villager at town hall in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

After Pelly welcomed me to town and showed me where my house is on the map, I went home right away. I tried to save my game there, but it wouldn’t let me.

...But I still can't sleep!

So I went outside and got attacked by a raccoon!

Tom Nook: Perhaps you know, but I actually build this house...
So what do you want, a cookie?

It was Tom Nook, of course. Even though the house is already paid off, he still wants me to work at his shop part-time. But I didn’t want to do that if I didn’t have to, so I went back in the house and jumped into bed. This time, it let me save my game. Hopefully that will be enough to unlock the spotlight items, but I guess I’ll find out sooner or later.

After that, I switched to my Jeff character. I watered flowers, talked to villagers, and I caught a sweetfish for Kiki. (She rewarded me with a Persian wall). After I checked the recycle bin, I heard Pelly sigh! She had some new dialogue!

She mentioned how she was trying to get Pete to notice her, even going so far as to straighten her wings and polish her beak? Yikes, that wing thing sounds a bit painful.

Pelly: Oh, Pete... Can't you see how hard I'm trying to get you to notice me...
Pelly: Of course! I straighten my wings when he's around and polish my beak daily...

I played again today, and I listened in on a conversation between Kiki and Teddy. Kiki told Teddy that it was nice to see him smiling, and that he always looked so happy. But Teddy responded that he’s not smiling, he’s just flexing his face.

Teddy: I'm not happy! I'm flexing my face! I don't want my lips to start sagging!

The conversation started out nicely enough, but it soon turned into an argument.

Kiki: Come on, why do you even NEED ripped cheek muscles? Am I missing something?

Kiki didn’t understand why Teddy needed ripped cheek muscles, and Teddy said they were necessary to “power chew” gum. Kiki ultimately wondered if everyone in town was crazy except her.

At town hall, Pelly had some additional dialogue. She concluded that she has to be more aggressive in her approach (to get Pete to notice her). She just doesn’t think she has the courage to actually do it.

Pelly: I think I have to be more up front and aggressive in my approach.
Pelly: B-but I... I just can't work up the courage to do it... It's so pathetic.

Rosie has been asking me for pink furniture for an eternity (or two). So when Nook had a lovely table for sale today, I decided to buy it for her. Rosie seemed to love it, and she rewarded me with an ivy wall. I left and re-entered her house to see if she displayed it in her house, and she had. But when I spoke to her, she again said she needed pink furniture! Ugh!

Rosie: If only I had, oh, say, some pink furniture! Then life would be AWESOME!
Don’t push your luck, kitty cat.

Unhappy Home Designer

Teddy was all packed up and ready to move out today, but I told him to reconsider. He then realized that he lost his passport and couldn’t move out anyway.

Teddy: I won't be able to move out if I don't have my passport, in a pond!

I visited Kiki, and she seemed upset. She told me not to pay attention to how she arranged her furniture.

Kiki: Please don't pay attention to how I arranged my furniture!
She’s an Unhappy Home Designer.

She thought it was embarrassing, but I told her it was fine. She then admitted that she worked hard on her room. Poor Kiki, getting all worried over something like this. Well at least she’s feeling better now. 🙂

Kiki: To tell you the truth, I worked hard to design my room, kitty cat.

Crazy Redd had the dainty painting this week, and of course, I didn’t need it. So I looked up to see which two paintings I do still need, and they are the famous painting and the fine painting.

According to some sites, those two are actually sold at Nook’s shop as spotlight items. However, I’ve never seen any spotlight items at Nook’s shop in Wild World! After some Googling, it seems that you need a second player in town before spotlight items start appearing! Well, I guess I need to make another player soon!

Anyway, Margie asked me to make a delivery to Kiki. So I took the package (which turned out to be a U R here shirt) over to Kiki, and she just thought it was okay. Margie wasn’t very upset with the news, and she rewarded me with a billiard table.

Margie: That's just fine. Thanks again. Oh, wait! I should give you a reward...

It was a bit early for the good bugs to be out yet, so I gathered and sold some fruit to make a little extra money. I also saw a fin in the ocean, and fished out an ocean sunfish.

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll be posting a new Wild World video by the weekend. Have a great day!

Fish Exhibit Complete!

I played on Sunday, and Kiki asked me if I had seen a soup can around. That was an odd question…

Kiki: J-bean, have you seen a soup can around here?

She said Margie asked her to look for it. And then Kiki seemed to realize Margie was just messing with her. 😛

Kiki: Ahh! If Margie is messing with me, I am going to FLIP!

Big Top wanted to move out of town, but I told him not to go. After just one attempt, he said he would reconsider. Good elephant. I have him trained well.

When I ran into Rosie, she had a strange question for me. Almost as odd as Kiki’s question. She wondered if I knew what dessert she ate two months ago. As if I would keep track of such a thing for everyone in town.

Rosie: Question!! What did I eat for DESSERT two months ago?

I guessed ice cream, and I was correct. She gave me a round carpet as a prize.

After I was done with my normal duties (watering flowers, finding the bell rock, etc.), I began fishing along the river. I ran into Rosie again, and she showed me this letter she got from someone:

Rosie, A person's abilities are tested best when defending rather than attacking. -Anonymous

After about half an hour of fishing, I caught what I was looking for…a dorado! That was the last fish I needed! Woohoo!

Jeff, after catching a dorado: I caught every kind of fish!

I took it over to the museum and donated it. Blathers confirmed that the fish exhibit is now complete! Yess!

Blathers: Could my eyes deceive me?! Has the fish exhibit reached completion?

The museum still needs two paintings to be complete, but that’s something I can’t speed up. (I don’t time travel, in case anyone reading this didn’t know). I’ll get there eventually, but it feels great to have everything else done, at least.

Today, Tortimer met me outside my house to…propose to me?

Tortimer: You've probably guessed what it is... It's an engagement ring!

He was kidding, of course. He actually had a golden rod for me.

Tortimer: You may not need it, but who doesn't want a rod made of gold?
I reeled in the golden fishing rod! Look out fishies!

A new Message of the Week was posted to the bulletin board, and it was about birthdays and in-laws. But I didn’t think Pelly or Phyllis were married, so I’m not sure who they’re referring to.

*Message of the Week* Birthdays come once a year. In-laws come all the time.

Update: Here’s a quick look back at my last fish in each Animal Crossing game.
