Kid Cat!

As I mentioned on Monday, I wasn’t happy that Rowan left before I could earn his photo. However, I am more than pleased with his replacement: Kid Cat moved in today!

Kid Cat: Hey, nice to meet you! They call me Kid Cat... My sign is Leo!

He’s one of the superhero villagers, so maybe he and Big Top can go on some crime-fighting adventures or something. It’s really cool to have him in town.

I don’t think I’ve had Kid Cat in any of my towns since he was in my City Folk town back in 2012! In fact, he moved out nine years ago to the day! That was so long ago that ACCF was still getting DLC. 😛

I ran into Goldie, and she was enjoying a nice walk. She said she was going to keep walking until she was unstoppable. 😛

Goldie: Sunshine, I've decided to walk around until I'm unstoppable!
You go, girl!

Peanut asked to visit my house, but I told her no. Sorry Peanut, nothing personal. I just hate these visits, especially if they have to be scheduled. She was quite disappointed.

Peanut: Believe it or not, it's hard work being so chipper... And I'm overworked.

Olivia was still sick with a cold, so I gave her another dose of medicine. Get well soon!

At Able Sisters, I bought myself a deep blue tee. I then gave Samson my old two-ball shirt, since he’s been begging me for a shirt to soak up his sweat lately. 😛

Samson: Let me try it on now! This second, mango!

He seemed to like it, and he rewarded me with a kaffiyeh.

Over at town hall, Pelly was (again) telling me how Pete just never notices her.

Pelly: No matter how hard I try, or how long I wait, Pete... just doesn't notice me.

Sorry, Pelly. Sometimes things just aren’t meant to be, no matter how badly you want it.

I’ll see you all next time!

A Tiger Escaped!

Last Thursday, I joked that Rowan wasn’t very happy to see me at his birthday party. But maybe there was more truth to it than I thought. I received Rowan’s goodbye letter in the mail today, completely out of the blue!

Stop cryin', Jeff! I'm hitting the road so I can bulk up my calf muscles. Next time you see me, I'll be RIPPED! Don't cry! -Rowan

I played last Friday, and he was outside walking around. He was not packed up in boxes. I didn’t play again until today (Monday), and he was already gone. Granted, he wasn’t exactly my favorite. But still, I was hoping to earn his photo before he left, and I didn’t even get the chance. I wonder if Rolf talked him into this.

Olivia is the latest villager to come down with a cold. I gave her some medicine on Friday, and then again today.

Olivia: So very sick... If I pass out here, please make sure I have some lipstick on.
I see where your priorities lie. 💄

When I ran into my favorite villager Goldie, she asked me about… taxes?!

Goldie: Hey, sunshine! We don't pay any taxes in Forest, right??
Not until I become mayor.

It turns out she was just wondering how the town could afford such a nice town hall building (and office).

Goldie: So how come they can afford such a nice office?

Don’t worry, Goldie. Someday we won’t be able to afford a proper town hall with postal services or a mayor’s office. Pelly, Phyllis, Pete, and Tortimer will all be unemployed (or dead)!

I know this is a fairly short entry, but I like to post the same day when a villager moves in or out. I’ll be back with another entry later in the week.

Rowan’s Birthday

Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the 7th time.

Shooting down a UFO in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

I gathered up the five missing UFO parts and returned them to Gulliver. In return, he gave me some chocolates. Mmm!

A box of chocolates in ACWW.
Too bad I can’t actually eat them.

At the shop, Tom Nook was talking about the time he gave up on his big-city dreams and returned to Forest. He mentioned a friend that he grew up with, and he said that she turned her back on him.

Tom Nook: She turned her back on me. From that day on, we were never the same again, hm?
You weren’t Able to move past that?

Today was Rowan’s birthday, so I bought him a present and headed over to his house. He and fellow tiger Rolf didn’t exactly seem thrilled to see me.

Rowan: You sure took your sweet time, sunshine!
Or maybe I’m the birthday feast.

But I gave him a robo-dresser, and he seemed to enjoy it; he called it a “killer gift.” He even gave me something in return, a violin.

Meanwhile, Bunnie had more important things on her mind. Like wondering if she’s supposed to say “ooh” or “ahh” when she sees fireworks. 😛

Bunnie: I always thought it was OOOOoooh, but maybe it's AHHHHHHH! Oh, hop to it!

See you all next time!
