Duck and Run

Yesterday, I received Olivia’s goodbye letter in the mail.

To my friend, Jeff, I'm leaving Forest, but I'm not sad! It'll be exciting to meet some new, cultured people! Whatever! -Olivia
I’m not sad either. Bye.

When I visited Deena, she told I should never open other people’s drawers and cabinets without asking first.

Deena: HEY! You shouldn't open other people's drawers and cabinets without asking!

I wasn’t going to! But since she said that, I just had to. So I looked in all three of her lockers. 😛 She didn’t have anything good, though.

Jeff, looking in Deena's locker: Heh heh! I'm such a snoop!

I visited Wolfgang, and he asked what my favorite body part was. I chose “my legs” from his list of options, and he asked why…because he didn’t think I’d be able to run very fast. He even said I’d roll faster than I’d run. Dude, that’s harsh.

Wolfgang: Actually, you look like you'd roll faster than you'd run. Ooh, snap!
You have chosen death.

Today, Olivia’s replacement moved in: Maelle the duck.

Maelle: Sigh... I'll bet that he's looking up at the same sky right now.

She said she fled to Forest for many complicated reasons…one of which is apparently trying to get over a guy from her former town.

Maelle: I'm Maelle. I fled to this town for many, many complicated reasons.

Just like Wolfgang before her, Maelle recently lived in my City Folk town until a few months ago. She’s not one of my favorites, but maybe I’ll try to go easy on her since she’s hurting right now.

See you next week!

Wolf Scared Cat Out

Yesterday, I found a new house in town, and Wolfgang was inside! I most recently had him in my City Folk town, earlier this year.

Wolfgang: Whoa! I've never seen your mug before. You new here, snarrrl?

Back outside, I listened in on an interesting conversation between Butch and Peanut. Peanut said that she will never go to a tropical island until she has mended her broken heart (by staring out at the sea and eating chocolate).

Peanut: I've got to stare out to sea and mend my broken heart.

Butch accused Peanut of stealing those lines from a cheesy pop song. And then he suggested that Peanut should get her head checked out by Dr. Shrunk. 😛

Butch: You ever thought about getting your head checked by Dr. Shrunk?
Is he going to heal her with bad jokes?

Saharah was in town, and I helped her out big-time: I made deliveries to Tom Nook, Blathers, and Pelly. Saharah let me pick a blue tarp or tropical floor for my reward, and I chose the latter.

Saharah: Ah, yes! That is very rare! Take good care of it, friend! Many thanks again!

Deena’s illness is showing no signs of letting up. I gave her some more medicine yesterday, and then again today. Hope you can get rid of that funky cold, Deena!

Even though Wolfgang just arrived in town yesterday, I already have someone on the way out today: Olivia. She was all packed up, and I decided to let her leave this time. She’s been in town for over a year, and that’s longer than I thought I’d ever keep her. 😛

Olivia: In my litterbox! Welcome to casa de Olivia!

Did Wolfgang’s arrival scare her off? We may never know the truth. 😛

Snake Out

Yesterday, Snake was all packed up and ready to move out of town. I thought about it briefly, and I decided to let him go. He’s had a nice, nearly eight-month stay here in Forest, so he’s free to slither off to another dojo.

Snake: Don't ever forget me, man! You hear me? Never forget! Peace, bunyip!

Olivia was telling me about a weird new restaurant where they serve java-flavored ravioli.

Olivia: They serve java-flavored salmon ravioli...

She said she’d be happy to go with me there…if I paid. 😛

Deena has still been sick with a cold, so I gave her some more medicine yesterday, and then again today.

I received Snake’s goodbye letter in the mail today.

Hoo-ha, Jeff, I'm moving. I have my reasons. No worries, yo! I'm sure you'll remember me fondly. Keep pumpin'! See ya! -From Snake

Olivia was trying to teach me the difference between love and affection today. She said love is tomato soup, and affection is bananas Foster. So she said she’d rather have a lot of tomato soup…or tomato soup. 😕

Olivia: I'd rather have a lot of tomato soup or tomato soup.

And if that wasn’t confusing enough, she then told me to remember it’s a lie. 😛

Olivia: Remember that, it's a lie!

Bob asked me to make a delivery to Butch, and of course I helped out my two favorite villagers. After handing Butch the letter, Butch was surprised that I actually got off my rear to deliver it!

Butch: And you actually got off your rear to deliver the letter?
Excuse me? My rear? What about Bob?

Bob then rewarded me with a haz-mat barrel. I appreciate the gesture, but it may be a sign of a toxic relationship. âš 

See you next week!
