No More Jitters

On Wednesday, I was surprsied to find a goodbye letter from Jitters in the mail. He left without warning, and so soon too! He didn’t even last a full month in town.

Ooooo yeah, Jeff! Hey, yo! i gotta hit the road! There's another town that needs to see my totally huge guns! Get pumped! -Jitters

Dotty told me that all of her clothes shrunk, so she asked me to get her a new outfit. She said she didn’t care what kind.

Dotty: Sunshine! Look, I don't care what kind... Can you PLEASE get me a new outfit?

But when I gave her a jungle camo that I got from Wolfgang, Dotty refused it! She said it looked like a boy outfit. See, this is why I don’t often go out of my way to help villagers. 😠

Dotty: ...Um...HELLO? Yeah, total miss on this one. It kinda looks like a boy outfit...

Yesterday, Eloise asked me how her makeup looked. I told her it looked perfect, and that made her happy. She gave me a miniature car that she got at the makeup counter. Wait, why would they be giving out toy cars at the makeup counter? Oh well. I’ll accept the free gift regardless.

Eloise: Here! I got this for free at the makeup counter. It's a miniature car.

Today, Bones was doing the “you love me, you love me not” bit of dialogue. But I was messing with him when it was my turn to respond, alternating my choices and confusing him. 😛

Bones: You love me not. But you're not entirely sure about that, are you.
I love Bones, really. 🙂

As of today (Friday), no replacement for Jitters has arrived yet. But I’ll be sure to meet the eventual new villager next week. See you then!

Burger Madness

I received my latest HRA score on Thursday, and my score was 268,562 points. That means my score went down after adding my latest Gulliver item! Well, I did have to remove a villager photo (Caroline’s) to make room for the Moai statue last week. So apparently, a photo of a squirrel is worth more than an Easter Island statue.

Yesterday, Caroline told me she was looking forward to the Bug-Off coming up on Sunday. She could already picture everyone swinging their nets wildly…and all the net-whacking incidents. 😆 I think Caroline would feel at home in a mosh pit. 😛

Caroline: Ooo... And, of course, there are all the inevitable net-whacking incidents.

I found a free space suit (Spaceman Sam) in the recycle bin. 👍

Today, I found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it had a coupon for a burger inside! Unfortunately, it was expired. Well, and Forest doesn’t have a hamburger place anyway.

IT'S BURGER MADNESS! 10 percent off every type of burger! Limit 1 coupon per customer. Expires 8/31. Closed Mondays

Eloise told me she hasn’t had a crush on anyone in a long time. She said she likes boys that are into volleyball and cooking. I guess she likes to be served. 😛

Eloise: A boy into volleyball and cooking! A hottie who'll cook me a hot meal!

I completed a couple of deliveries for my villagers, and then I went to the Roost. K.K. Slider was performing for his usual Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he played K.K. Lullaby for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Lullaby!

I was hoping not to feel tired just yet, but he sure wasn’t helping with that choice. 😛

Hidden Part

On Wednesday, Phyllis told me that she saw something outside in the middle of the night. She said it was white, and it dived into a bush to hide when she looked out of the window.

Phyllis: I think I saw something white suddenly dive behind a bush to hide...

She said it was “him.” (Meaning Pete, apparently.)

Phyllis: It's him... I'm sure of it! It's gotta be him! Ugh!

Today, there was a new “Talking to Myself” message about pinecones posted to the bulletin board.

-Talking to Myself- Pinecones fall from trees, but they aren't fruit. That's why pine trees are my favorite plants!

I guess the author doesn’t like fruit? Or am I missing the point of this one? 🤔 Unless it’s just an odd way of welcoming autumn. 🍂

I shot down Gulliver’s UFO today, and I went over to talk to him. I learned that his UFO parts spawn the very instant that he thanks you for helping him out. That’s because one of them suddenly appeared on-screen as I was still talking to him.

Gulliver, standing by his UFO: Thank you for your help!

I began my search for the other UFO parts, and I found the first four parts quickly. But the 5th one? I was seriously struggling to find it. I went around town about five times looking for it! I even found my long-missing 3rd fossil. But as I prepared to take a break by going into the museum to identify my fossils, I saw it. It blended in with the gray stones at the entrance. Oof.

My missing UFO part by the museum.

That took me much longer than I would’ve liked. Probably longer than it ever has taken me. But I had all five UFO parts, and Gulliver rewarded me with a Moai statue! Not only is it one of the better Gulliver items, but it was an item I didn’t have yet! I’m glad all that searching wasn’t just for another duplicate item. 😆

The Moai statue added to my Gulliver room.

I’ve checked a couple of lists/guides, and it seems that I only need one more Gulliver item: the tribal mask. Interestingly enough, the tribal mask was the last Gulliver item I got in City Folk too! (link)
