Trade Backs

Yesterday, I saved Kabuki from moving, and I refused to buy a solemn painting at Crazy Redd’s shop. I also bought some medicine for Teddy the sick bear.

Teddy: I live again! YESSSSSS! Thanks, dumbbell!

Big Top randomly told me that his belly is his best feature.

Big Top: I've been told that my best feature is my belly.

Today, Rosie and Big Top both asked me for new clothes. So I bought a fresh shirt and a No. 2 shirt at Able Sisters. I went to Big Top’s house and offered him the fresh shirt. He turned it down, because apparently, it doesn’t show off his belly enough? What’s with this sudden belly obsession, big guy?

Big Top: I like to show off my belly more. I had to eat a ton of cake to get it this big!

So I gave him the No. 2 shirt, and he accepted. In return, he gave me 500 bells.

I was on my way to give Rosie the fresh shirt when she pinged me. She wanted to trade her No. 3 shirt for my fresh shirt. I agreed to the trade.

Rosie: Please give it to me! PLEASE! I'll give you my No. 3 shirt!

Since the trade was unrelated to the request, she was still looking for another shirt. So I spoke to her again immediately, and I gave her the No. 3 shirt right back!

Rosie: A No. 3 shirt?! Are you giving it to me, silly?
If you’re silly enough to take it back, yeah.

In return, she gave me the fresh shirt back! The same two items we swapped the first time, got traded back the second time. Crazy! This was just as pointless as my infamous zebra turkeyfish for zebra turkeyfish trade in ACCF!

Rosie: So, by any chance, will a fresh shirt to?

I gave Teddy some medicine again, collected and sold some apples and pears, and then wrapped up my night in Forest.

In case you haven’t heard, the next Animal Crossing game has been revealed: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch. If you’d like, check out my impressions of the reveal.

Let’s Be Aggressive

I only played briefly last night, mainly just to check if Crazy Redd had a painting I still needed (he didn’t). But I did save Margie from moving, and then, Jeremiah randomly gave me a sailor’s uniform.

Rosie asked me to buy something, which she said was “perfect” for me. Since I like Rosie, I went ahead and bought it for 1,200 bells. It turned out to be an illusion wall…that Rosie found in the street. Uh, thanks?

Rosie: Aaaaactually, I found it on the side of a street. It was all, like, dirty...

I played again today, and Big Top immediately greeted me right outside my house. He suggested that we should be aggressive when we shop for clothes today. Um, okay?

Big Top: Let's be aggressive when we shop for clothes today, OK? Baconballs!

I heard something very similar when I spoke with Jeremiah. He said we should be aggressive when we garden today. How exactly would that work? I’m trying to imagine it. Would you yell as you plant seeds, or maybe pump your fist as you sprinkle wilted flowers with a trickle of water from your watering can?

Jeremiah: Let's be aggressive when we garden today, OK? Nee-deep!

Even though Wild World has some of the best dialogue in the series overall, you have to admit that every Animal Crossing game has repetitive dialogue.

Big Top had asked me for new clothes, and when I saw him again, I remembered that I had the sailor’s uniform from Jeremiah to give him. He loved it!

Big Top: A sailor's uniform?! You understand me like no one else!

He rewarded me with 500 bells as he proudly pranced walked around in his new outfit.

At least his naval navel isn’t showing.

Have an aggressive great day, everyone! Remember, E3 is next week! 😊😊😊

River Water

I received an interesting letter from Mom tonight. She told me that she wants to see a UFO!

Dear Jeff, A reflection I had while doing the dishes: I have never seen a UFO before. I want to see one! -Mom

It was raining in town tonight, just as it was for me in real life. But in Animal Crossing, it’s a good thing. It saved me from having to water my flowers. Big Top said the rain reminded him of a “good bad movie.”

Big Top: It was a dark and stormy night. A lone figure stood alone in the downpour...

Kiki walked up to Big Top and they had a conversation about water. Kiki wondered why seawater is salty, and river water isn’t. Big Top suggested that someone is adding sugar to the rivers.

Big Top, to Kiki: Someone HAS to be pouring sugar in those rivers. You know, to balance the salt!

The discussion was making Big Top thirsty, but Kiki warned him not to drink river water because he doesn’t know where it’s been.

Kiki, to Big Top: Big Top, don't! You can't drink river water! You don't know where it's been!

Big Top responded by saying of course he knows where it’s been: in the river!

Big Top: Been? What do you mean? I know exactly where it's been. In the river!

Margie asked me for some new clothes, so I went to Able Sisters and bought her a wrestler shirt. 😂 Hey, if she can give me a wrestling mask, like she did in January, I can give her a wrestler shirt 😛 But she actually seemed to enjoy it, and she gave me a space suit in return.

Margie: Whoa, this must be a wrestler shirt... What?! You got it for ME?

I visited Kabuki in his house, and he said something that made me want to never return. He said he has seen cockroaches in his house, and even on the tip of his nose! Gross!

Kabuki: The other night I woke up and found one right here on the tip of my nose...
Kabuki: Ugh, it was gross, gross, GROSS! Cockroaches are the nastiest things ever!
