Golden Retreater

I was very disappointed to find a goodbye letter from Goldie in the mail tonight. 🙁

My dear friend Jeff, I'm leaving. You've been the nicest person in Forest! Thank you so much for everything! Miss you! -Goldie
I’ll miss you too!

Goldie was my favorite villager in town (as you may have seen in a recent video), and she’s been in Forest for over two years. I hate to see her go. Bob now takes over the top spot as my favorite current villager.

When I spoke with Cyrano, he told me that this place reminds him of a bucket he once had.

Cyrano: Hey! This place always brings up memories of this bucket I had...

When I asked him to elaborate, he said he forgot what he was going to say. I’m really not sure what this is all about. I remember Big Top once had some bucket-related dialogue, but this was different. Not to mention, Big Top and Cyrano have different personalities. Maybe I’ll hear more about this bucket another time. Then again, maybe I don’t want to hear more. 😛

Peanut asked me to deliver a letter to Cyrano, so I headed back to the blue anteater. He said the letter wasn’t a completely unpleasant surprise in his nose.

Cyrano: Well, I guess it isn't a completely unpleasant surprise, in my nose!
There is something distinct about the way you speak. 😛

When I returned to Peanut, she thanked me, and she rewarded me with a citrus carpet.

Peanut: So, by any chance, will a citrus carpet do?

Two minutes later, Olivia told me a story about an ex-boyfriend of hers: He said that she was more aggressive than he was. Olivia thanked me for being supportive (by just listening to her story), and she too gave me a citrus carpet!

Olivia: Well here... Take this as my way of saying thanks. It's a citrus carpet.

It’s weird enough to get the same item from two villagers in the same day, but especially when they’re just two minutes apart! It’s also somewhat interesting that carpets appear as carpets when given indoors, and as a treasure chests when given outdoors.

Have a great day, everyone. I will see you next time. Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Update: Getting two citrus carpets two minutes apart is not the biggest coincidence that occurred today. Check this out:

G is for Gross

Last Thursday, Cyrano asked me if I’d rather eat sorbet or tuna salad. But he didn’t give me a chance to answer; instead, he told me that he hated them both and they’re both gross. 😛

Cyrano: Huh? Me? Well, actually... I hate them both! G is for gross, in my nose!
Well if they’re in your nose, then yeah, they are gross.

As you can see in that screenshot, Saharah was in town. I made deliveries to Tom Nook and Phyllis for her, and she offered me one of two similar rewards.

Saharah: Do you want a music room wall or a music room floor?

Even though I was briefly considering the wallpaper, I changed my tune and picked the carpet instead.

On Tuesday, Snake was already packed up to move out of town! He hadn’t even been here a full week yet! That was wayyyy too soon for him to move out, so I got him to change his mind.

Yesterday, I found two of the day’s fossils buried right next to each other. Directly adjacent to each other. That doesn’t happen very often!

Two dig spots, both containing fossils, right next to each other in town.

Tonight, Peanut asked me about her wallet. She was under the impression that I borrowed it for some reason? I don’t have your wallet, Peanut!

Peanut: [Didn't I]... let you borrow my wallet?

When I spoke with Olivia, she tried to tell me that K.K. Slider wrote a song just for her! Yeah, I don’t believe that story. 😛

Olivia: ...and he wrote one for me! I couldn't believe it! He's a genius, it's a lie!

After putting some money in the bank at town hall, my account balance reached three million bells.

Phyllis: Your balance is 50 billion bells! Just kidding! It's actually 3,000,000.

Snake Slithers Into Town

Last Friday, I received Samson’s goodbye letter in the mail. I can’t say I’ll miss him.

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 Samson

Monday was Goldie’s birthday, so I bought an iris chair from Nookington’s for her birthday present. I then headed over to her party and gave her the gift.

Goldie: Check it out! You got me an iris chair!

She seemed to enjoy it, and she returned the favor by giving me a cradle. By the way, Cyrano was the other villager at Goldie’s party, even though he wasn’t in the above screenshot.

Today, I spotted a new house where Big Top used to live. Inside, I found Snake the ninja rabbit. He even called himself a ninja, even though that was just a coincidence; the “chugging ninja” dialogue is something any of the jock villagers can say.

Snake: I'm Snaka, aka the Chugging Ninja! I just moved here.

I’ve had Snake on GameCube and in City Folk before. He’s alright; he’s not one of my favorites, but I don’t dislike him either. However, I do think he’s a slight improvement over Samson.

Cyrano was talking about vagabonds, and he said we’ll truck through Forest to cover every inch of town. I just smiled and nodded, and then ran away.

Cyrano: All right, sunshine, follow me! In my nose!
I am not going in there.

When I spoke with Goldie, she was trying to tell me that she saw Snake furiously stomping around the beach the other night. Considering he just moved in today, I found her story a bit hard to believe.

Goldie: Guess what, sunshine! The other night, Snake was so mad...
