Jeremiah’s Bug

I played Wild World over the weekend, in hopes of finding some hybrid flowers and catching a peacock butterfly. While I did find one hybrid (an orange rose), I apparently need blue, purple, or black hybrids to catch the peacock.

Orange roses in my flower garden.

So I will officially not complete my museum in 2018, but that’s okay. It’s going to take a while to get those last paintings I need anyway.

I had a weird conversation with Jeremiah. He asked me if bugs had any weaknesses, and then asked if they get ticklish if you touch their bellies. o.O In his own weird way, he was asking me to catch a red dragonfly for him.

Jeremiah: Ha! I'd like to see a red dragonfly rolling around laughing!

I went outside and caught one for him, although it didn’t seem to be in a laughing mood. Jeremiah gave me 500 bells as my reward.

Curly approached me outside and told me he had a flying saucer.

Curly: At this moment, I have the flying saucer on my person!He asked how much I would pay for it, and a slider appeared with “10,000 bells” at the top and “zilch” at the bottom. I actually moved it up to almost 10,000 bells (but not quite all the way). He got mad at me for not being able to make a decision (???), and then he (angrily) gave it to me for free. I was willing to pay for it, dude. This pig is crazy. Anyway, I put it in my space room.

My space-themed room in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

I know I had a flying saucer in the past, in the early days of my town. But I don’t remember what happened to that one. I think I sold it before I decided on making a space room. Oh well, it’s back now.

Today, Jeremiah was still talking about the dragonfly I caught him on Sunday. I guess he really enjoyed it.

Jeremiah: I'm so psyched to play with my bug, in a pond!

When I visited Bree, I saw that she was sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine, and she started to feel better.

Bree: So very cold... Can't stop shivering... Lipstick all over face...

Flowery Painting

Crazy Redd was in town today, and I used the password “be charged” to get inside his tent. He had a flowery painting for sale, just like he did two weeks ago. The last one was a fake, so I still needed one.

Redd: A flowery painting! Cousin, you've got incredible taste! Ol' Redd is in awe!

I shelled out 3,920 bells for the painting. Then outside, I found a four-leaf clover! Could this give me some good luck?

WAHOO! I got the four-leaf clover!

Over at the museum, Blathers told me that the painting was…real! I guess I actually was lucky today! 😉 So here is a look at the museum’s latest addition:

Flowery painting. Donor: Jeff.

A “Talking to Myself” message was posted to the bulletin board, and it was about delivering letters. Hmm, could Pete be the author of some of these messages? Or it could be Pelly or Phyllis just daydreaming about Pete.

-Talking to Myself- I loved homing pigeons as a kid. It would be fun to get paid for delivering letters to folks!

Still no hybrids, but I didn’t play any extra days since last week. I might check again this week, if I can. But even if I’m not able to catch the peacock butterfly before it goes away for the year, I can still try to breed the hybrids that I’ll need once it comes back into season next year.

First Arapaima

It was raining in town today, and that’s very helpful now that I have flower gardens. No watering required!

I saw a large fish shadow in the river, so I fished it out. Surprise, surprise: It was my first arapaima!

I caught an arapaima! It's big...and kinda gross!

Just two more fish to go now! I took it over to the museum to donate it, and Blathers told me how they used to be common, but now they’re rare.

Blathers: The arapaima used to be abundant, but overfishing has sadly made them rare.

Then he started getting deep…or overdramatic, depending on how you look at it.

Blathers: One has to wonder how many species must suffer to satiate the world...

When I visited Rocco, he complained that I haven’t been coming around like I used to. Oh, really? He said it has been two weeks since we talked…so apparently I missed talking to him last week. No big loss there.

Rocco: Whoa! What happened to you?! You don't come around like you used to...

Jeremiah had his furniture all packed up in boxes, and he was all set to move out of town. But after just one attempt, I got him to reconsider. He knows he didn’t really want to leave me.

Jeremiah: Huh huh huh! Maybe I'll stick around a little bit longer, in a pond!

Crazy Redd was in town, but I didn’t need what he was selling.

Redd: You like it? You like that quaint painting? Hee hee hee!
If your painting is quaint,
then shopping, I ain’t.
