Worthy Painting Donated

Octavian was telling me tonight how his life would be so different if he was good at bocce. If you say so…

Octavian: Sometimes I think my life would be a whole lot different if I was any good at bocce...Meanwhile, Kidd has been suffering with a cold. But it was too late for me to buy medicine for him. Maybe tomorrow, kiddo.

Kidd: I'm sorry, but...could you...bring me some medicine...? I'm desperate...Rowan the tiger was camping at the campsite tonight. He lived in my City Folk town for a while, and I really like him a lot. I actually would’ve rather had him than Octavian (don’t tell him I said that!), but I shouldn’t complain too much. Octavian is cool too.

Rowan: Phew, it took me a while to set up this tent!A silver slingshot went floating overhead, carried by two balloons, and I stopped to take a picture of it against the night sky.

Aurora: Maybe it isn't the right time to move after all. Thanks for helping me realize that, ham.I got my worthy painting back in the mail from Crazy Redd, and I took it up to the museum. Surprisingly, it was the real deal! So I donated it to the art gallery.

Liberty Leading the PeopleAll the shops on Main Street were closed, but I did go into the Dream Suite to see who my latest dream visitor was. Luna told me it was Josh from Galaxy…I’ve seen that name before.

See you next time, everyone!

Apple for an Elephant

Big Top asked me for an apple tonight. And since today is World Elephant Day (asĀ he tweeted), I couldn’t say no to him.

Big Top: You know what I'd like right now? An apple. They grow right here in Forest!I kept my eyes open for some apples as I made my walk around town. When I went in to say hello to Sprinkle, I saw that Gala was also visiting her.

Gala visiting Sprinkle.Gala said she wished she was as popular as Sprinkle. I keep telling her she just has to turn herself into bacon or ham and she’ll be very popular!

Gala: Oh, hi, ham! Sprinkle must be very popular. I'm...just a little envious, snortie.Crazy Redd was in town, so I went inside his tent to check out what was for sale. Even though I saw a real ancient statue, I already had one of those in my museum. So I know the odds are slim, but I took a chance on this worthy painting.

Redd: Whoa! I say you've got eyes only for that worthy painting there! I'd say it has eyes for you too!I finally found an apple tree and I grabbed an apple for Big Top. I took it to him, and he seemed to enjoy it. He rewarded me with a lovely vanity.

Big Top: Oh! I should give you something, shouldn't I? OK, please take my lovely vanity as thanks!I then headed up to Main Street for my shopping run and to update my dream town. While I was in the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Mari from Narnia was my most recent dream visitor.

See you next time!

Octavian’s Arrival

Drago had the nerve to ask me for a tarantula tonight! I didn’t want to spend hours hunting one down, so I told him no.

Drago: Me, I'm totally obsessed with the tarantula right now.I made my way to the new house in town and I noticed the windows on the door were in the shape of a fish! That’s ideal for an ocean creature.

The fish-shaped window on Octavian's door.I then went inside to speak with my new neighbor Octavian. He is the fourth camper I’ve asked to move in. The others were Molly, Rolf, and Teddy. (Teddy no longer lives here).

Octavian: Oh! It's you! You invited me to live here, and I took you up on the offer!He was telling me not to go and move out of town! Ha!

Octavian: I'll be counting on you to watch out for me, so don't go moving away now that I got here, sucker!Later on, Wendy came over to sell some pears.

Wendy sells some pears at Re-Tail.She also collected signatures for a petition from my residents. However, she never said who it was for…it better not have been for Eugene!

Tiago also dropped in for a visit, although I was almost done playing by this point. Sorry, Tiago!

Tiago from Starfall has just arrived in Forest.After Wendy got all of her signatures, Kidd asked me for an orange. I actually had a hard time finding one! In my own town! That’s pretty bad. But before long, Wendy pointed out an orange tree to me. I grabbed the oranges and then ended the session.

I tracked down Kidd and gave him the orange. He loved it, and he rewarded me with an orange cone!

I doubt my orange cone comes anywhere close, but please, you've earned a gift, dearie!He also said he’s always going to associate me with oranges now, though! (And I’m always going to associate oranges with Squishy).

Kidd: Heh. You know I'm always going to associate you with that fruit from now on.A message on the bulletin board informed me that the Bug-Off competition is Saturday. Hopefully I’ll remember to participate before it ends at 6 p.m.!

~ Notice ~ This Saturday is the big Bug-Off! At last it's almost here!Anyway, that wrapped up my night in Forest. My most recent dream visitor was Freddie from Elektra. See you next time!
