Disrespectful Ducks

Last night, I headed down to the Roost just before midnight to catch some live music. I asked for a random song, and K.K. Slider performed K.K. Swing for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Swing!After the show, I had a chat with Pate outside. She told me that all the cool kids were in bed already, and she said I need my beauty sleep! As if she can talk, that ugly duckling.

Pate: All the cool kids are asleep by now, huh, quackle? You need your beauty sleep!I also visited Chevre, and she told me she would feed me, except she’s out of milk and fried dough. That sounds healthy… 😛

Chevre: I'd feed you, but I'm out of milk and fried dough. Sorry!Today, I decided to buy this refrigerator. Not to store milk and fried dough, but just because I didn’t have any furniture to use for storage! Once I took it home, I put my acorn and work uniform inside of it.

Tom Nook: Why, yes, that would be a refrigerator. It sells for 1,200 bells.Static was still sick with a cold, so I bought some more medicine for him.

Static flips as he takes some medicine I bought him.For some reason, I made the mistake of talking to Pate again. This time she called me boring. Interestingly, she then wanted to visit my house! If I’m so boring, why would you want to visit me? I said no.

Pate: I'm bored! Talking to you is boring. STOP BORING ME!Yuka told me that’s still looking for chic furniture! It’s been more than two weeks, and she’s still expecting me to help her. 😀 I can’t help but laugh every time she mentions it.

Baabara asked me to make a delivery to Pate, and I refused. Baabara wasn’t pleased.

Baabara: Oh, I guess you're having one of your shy episodes. Oh, well, whatevs.A few of the fossils I’ve dug up recently have been duplicates, so I’ve been able to sell them instead of donating them to the museum. I used the money to make another mortgage payment of 30,000 bells. I only owe 25,000 bells now.

When I ran into Bill, he gave me a new nickname: Beefcake. Uh, I don’t think so. But I didn’t have a chance to decline the nickname after he said what it was.

Bill: OK, then from this moment on, you're beefcake!
No. No. No, no, no.

While fishing, I caught my first rainbow trout. I then donated it to the museum.

Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you next time. Maybe I can pay off my mortgage soon and expand my house again.

A Pitfall for Baabara

I started up the game tonight and found Alfonso’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Alfonso's goodbye letter.In Able Sisters, Mabel was saying that Sable was asking about me this morning, wondering what time I would stop by. 😛 Since Halloween is almost here, I decided to buy this eye patch they had for sale. I guess I’m a pirate, at least from the neck up.

Mabel: Wow! You are looking really, really good! I mean it! Are you interested?
Sorry, I’m not into hedgehogs.

I visited Static, and he was still sick. He may have been hallucinating. He said that sushi ninjas were after his stash!

Static: The sushi ninjas... They're after my stash...But I finally played early enough that Nook ‘n’ Go was still open. So I was able to buy Static some medicine at last. Get well soon, little guy.

Static flips as he takes his medicine.Crazy Redd was in town, and I bought a quaint painting from him. I took it up to the museum, and surprisingly, it was real! My museum now has two paintings in the gallery.

Quaint painting. Donor: Jeff.Outside, I found a pitfall seed before it found me (for a change).

Check out what I dug up! A pitfall seed!Just seconds later, Baabara walked near me. So I knew what I had to do.

Baabara, in a pitfall: I'm stuck! My behind! Daahling!After enjoying that sight, I did a little fishing. I sold most of my catches, but I donated one of the dabs I caught to the museum. I also donated two fossils I dug up tonight.

Before wrapping up my game for the night, I made a 20,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall. I still owe 55,000 more bells, though. See you next time!

Wendell’s First Appearance

Tonight, I spotted Wendell the walrus in town for the first time. As in the other games, he is starving and he asks for food.

Wendell: Belly... So empty... Feels like a black hole...I gave Wendell a barbel steed, and it soothed his starving stomach. He thanked me and rewarded me with a pattern called “road 4 pattern.” Even though I don’t currently plan on putting paths in my town, these road patterns could be a possibility if I change my mind at some point in the (distant) future.

The road 4 pattern I got from Wendell in exchange for a barbel steed.When I went in to visit Alfonso, he was all packed up and ready to move out of town. I did not try to stop him. He’s okay, but I wouldn’t mind getting someone new around here.

Alfonso: I know this is sudden, but I've decided to move away. Don't try to stop me.I also visited Baabara, and she told me she likes guys with mustaches.

Baabara: Like with facial hair. I love moustaches! I think they make guys look super tough.She even said a mustache might help me out. Wait…is she calling me ugly? And does she expect me to change to please her? But that would look weird to see facial hair in an Animal Crossing game, wouldn’t it?

Baabara: It might even help you in that department. Try it! GO! GO!Outside, I ran into Yuka. She tried to sell me an A shirt for 570 bells. I declined the offer.

Yuka: Hey, Dr. J. Do you have any interest in my A shirt?Then she said something interesting. She said no matter how much time passes, she can’t forget him.

Yuka: Oh, no... No matter how much time passes, I can't forget him!Who is the “him” in that sentence? Wait a minute…could it be Alfonso? His name starts with A. Did they break up? Is that why he’s leaving?

Anyway, she gave me another chance to buy the shirt, and I declined once again. She then gave it to me for free.

Static was still sick with a cold, but sadly, the store was closed once again. Even though it’s Nook ‘n’ Go, it still closes at 11 p.m. in Wild World.

Static: You're nothin' but a junior varsity virus. Ooooooghh... HACKGH HACKGH HACKGH!At this point, I decided to shake some trees to find some money, gifts, and bees. I found a few of each: I got some money bags, a few furniture items (including an ebony piano), and a couple of bees. The first bee stung me, but I caught the second one! After getting my net out, I just jammed on the A button and caught it! Woohoo!

I caught a bee! I'm so happy...I donated the bee to my museum, along with a bell cricket and pill bug I caught.

I heard a lone shooting star as I played, but I didn’t see it at the time. The display settings I use on Wii U make the upper DS screen small on the TV, so things on the top screen aren’t as noticeable. But my capture device caught a peek at it. I think I’m supposed to tap the screen while it’s flying by, but I didn’t think of it at the time. Hopefully I’ll remember next time.

A shooting star flies by in Animal Crossing: Wild World.I saw a bug on a tree that I haven’t caught yet. But as I got my net out, Yuka started walking right towards it, pushing me in the process. I was afraid she would scare it away, so I had to rush my move for the bug, and I missed. The controls don’t seem as precise in Wild World as they do in other games.

I miss a bug as Yuka interferes.

Yuka sorely needs a trip to Pitfallville. Booker didn’t have any pitfall seeds today, but I’ll keep checking!

I searched for another one of those tree bugs for a while, but I was unable to snag one. Maybe next time.
