Frank’s Goodbye

This morning, I only had about five minutes to track down Joan and buy my turnips for the week. And wouldn’t you know, Agent S wanted me to play hide-and-seek with her! Ain’t nobody got time for that!

Agent S: Really? But it would have been so much fun! Well, that's OK. Another time maybe, nut job.But I did find Joan, and at 11:58 a.m., I bought 1,100 turnips from her for 102 bells apiece.

Joan: So, 1,100 turnips comes out to be... 112,200 bells altogether. Do you wanna buy them?And today was Frank’s last day in town, so I went to say goodbye to him.

Frank: Promise me you'll feel a little lonely after I'm gone, all right?! I mean, why else would I move? GAHAHA!I kind of feel bad for letting him move out so soon; I don’t even feel like I got to know him very well. But I wanted to get back down to nine villagers. It’s all Dotty’s fault, really.

A bit later on, Emzer from Arcturus came over to adopt Frank.

Emzer from Arcturus has just arrived in Forest.After she spoke with him, Frank confirmed that he’s moving to her town. Best of luck in your new town, pal! And Emzer, feel free to post a comment from time to time to let me know how he’s doing! 🙂

Frank: I'm moving myself to Arcturus!After that, I ended the session and put the game away for a while. When I returned later, I saw a big fish shadow in the river. I caught myself a nice arapaima, which sells for a cool 10,000 bells.

Catching an arapaima.While I was at town hall, I saw something I don’t think I’ve noticed before: a tiny clock above the door. It was about 6:20 when I took this picture.

The clock on my modern town hall.And up at the Dream Suite, I updated my dream town. Luna told me Corynne from Ammear was my most recent dream visitor.

A Night on Main Street

When I went to see Rolf tonight, I saw that Kidd was also visiting him.

Me and Kidd visiting Rolf.Near the town tree, I found a lost item.

A lost item on the ground at the event plaza.But I didn’t have much trouble reuniting it with its owner. It belonged to the first villager I asked about it, which was Agent S. I found her near Re-Tail.

Agent S: What?! Where'd you find this? I thought I'd never see my favorite pouch ever again!She thanked me and gave me a fern tee. I continued on to Main Street, including a stop at the Dream Suite. Luna informed me that Livvy from the town of Fluffy was my most recent dream visitor.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named livvy from fluffy enjoyed your dream.And next door at Club LOL, K.K. performed Rockin’ K.K. for me.

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called Rockin' K.K.After the song was over, I went over to the Emporium. I was in GracieGrace up on the third floor when the clock struck midnight. It was business as usual; Gracie made no attempt to kick me out. But the instant I went down to the second floor, Timmy was there to throw me out of the store.

Timmy: I'm afraid it's past closing time for the store today...What about Allie? How come she wasn’t kicked out at 12:00? You’re discriminating against humans! I’m going to hire an investi-gator!

I’ll be back with another update tomorrow. Frank should be moving out, so I’ll be saying my goodbyes and hopefully finding him a new home. See you next time!

Ghosts & Glitches

I walked into Molly’s house today, and it took me a few seconds to actually find her.

Molly hiding in plain sight.And for the third time in four days since my town filled up, I had a camper! Today it was Wart Jr.; I didn’t want him to move in, but it’s just crazy how all the campers only show up when I don’t have space to add them.

Wart Jr.: Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we take your perfect peaches and play a game?Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Raven from Korasco was my most recent dream visitor.

At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. For about ten minutes, nobody showed up. And then three people came all at once! Ash, Wendy, and T. Zelda came over to visit.

Ash, Wendy, Jeff, and TZ.After a few minutes, we headed out to the island for some tours. I believe T. Zelda did all the tour choosing tonight. We started with a hammer tour and then we played an ore-gathering tour. I got last place on the hammer tour, but first place on the ore tour.

Tortimer: Jeff gets 6 medals, T. Zelda gets 4 medals.We then played a quick hide-and-seek game, and I found two of the four animals. Usually I’m lucky if I find one. 😛 T. Zelda picked another hammer tour, but not long after we started, everyone else froze up. I was chasing Tortimer alone. I figured that meant we were about to disconnect, and indeed, we did.

I re-opened the gate, and again, nobody came in for nearly ten minutes. But then Ash returned and Ryan joined in as well. Aurora asked me for an ocean fish, and I gave her a sea bass. She rewarded me with a flame tee, which I put on.

Aurora: It's a flame tee.I bought some coffee-to-go from the cafe, and I finished it off while sitting on the bench.

Drinking coffee on the bench.Down on the beach, Ryan informed me that Gulliver was there. I couldn’t wake him up while the gate was open, but I didn’t really care. I have all of his items anyway, so I just let him rest in peace.

Gulliver sleeping on the beach.While Ash was swimming, she said she ran into a shark. I asked if she survived the encounter, and she said no. So naturally, we started calling her a ghost and making ghost jokes and puns.

Jeff: I see right through your jokes.When Ryan didn’t like my jokes, he would “boo” me, which was also a ghost joke in itself.

Ryan told me Drago was wearing lipstick, so I went to check it out. Not only did I get to see his lipstick, but I think this was also my first look inside his house.

Inside Drago's house.Back outside, Gala asked me for a piece of fruit. As much as I’d love to stick an apple in her mouth and spin her over an open fire, I decided to give her a perfect pear. She enjoyed it and gave me her tricycle? I would have preferred if she had kept the tricycle but let me see her try to ride it! A pig riding a tricycle? That’s viral video material!

Gala: I'm so satisfied! Here, I'll give you my tricycle as my way of saying thank you.After some bug-catching, I asked Ryan and Ash to join me for some glitching on Main Street. I went into the pond, and they tried to fish me out.

Ash: We almost got him.Unfortunately, Ash and Ryan didn’t have tweeters and didn’t know how to net glitch. So they couldn’t join me in the fun. But I went on top of the museum and I could see part of the menu screen up in the sky. Is this real life or are we in the Matrix?

Standing on top of the museum.I also went over to the cliff and got a nice view of the museum.

The view of the museum from the nearby cliff.Shortly after midnight, Ryan told me he was going to leave. So I went ahead and ended the party for the night. I hope you all have a great weekend!
