Pigs in Space

I got Dotty’s goodbye letter in the mail today.

Dotty's goodbye letter.Gala and Molly were having a conversation about what to get Kidd. And Gala–the pig–asked me to weigh in. I suggested they get him a calculator…only because the other options were even worse.

Gala: Yes, perfect timing! Ham, would you like to weigh in?Things weren’t going well today; I was having a bad luck day and I kept falling on my face.

Falling on my face.So I went to see Katrina, and she offered to sell me a lucky item for 10,000 bells. I was hoping for the Tingle hat, so I paid her the money. But she gave me another celebration hat instead.

Katrina: As long as you wear this special celebration hat, all luck will flow the way you wish. I think...This thing looks awful on me.

Wearing the celebration hat.Over in the Dream Suite, Luna told me Hera from Starfall was my most recent dream visitor.

Gala had asked me for some BIG furniture, which means an item that takes up four squares. The Emporium didn’t have any–at least not on the second floor. I wasn’t about to pay Gracie money for a regular furniture request (maybe when pigs fly).

But I checked my storage and decided I didn’t need to keep an Arwing I had in there. I should really clean out my storage a bit anyway. But I gave the Arwing to Gala…maybe she can leave Forest and join the Star Fox team.

Gala: Oh! An Arwing is exactly what I needed!In return, she gave me a science table. This could come in handy should I need to dissect a pig at some point. What? Oh, no reason, Gala…

Tomorrow is Friday Night Forest, and I’ll be opening my gate around 10 p.m. Eastern time. I’m not planning on opening this Sunday for fireworks, but I might switch things up on the following weekend.

Dotty’s Departure

As soon as I started up the game, Saharah was standing right outside my house. I figured I might as well get it over with, so I hired her on the spot. She installed an ancient wall and a playroom rug. Not a good combination, but the ancient wall is a keeper.

An ancient wall and playroom rug.Today was Dotty’s last day in town! šŸ˜€ I’ll try not to cry! šŸ˜‰

Dotty: Look who the rabbit dragged in! I've been waiting for you to stop by. I just HAD to say thank you!I found a lost item near the entrance to Main Street. Kidd was the closest villager, so I asked if it was his…and it was! He thanked me for returning his precious paper bag and rewarded me by giving me a baseball shirt.

Kidd: Inside of this paper bag...there are a lot more paper bags! It's a bag within a bag for max bagginess!Drago asked me for a new catchphrase, and I stopped to think about it for a minute. A lot of times, I’ll use phrases related to the type of animal they are. Like Rolf would say “tiger” or Gala would say “ham.” But I wanted to do something different this time, something that could make phrases unexpected and hopefully funny. So I had him say “if I die.” Maybe it’s a bit dark, but I think it could work. So Drago started off by saying we should have more festivals if he dies.

Drago: I'm a big fan of festivals. Personally, I think we should have way more of them, if I die.And he said everyone would eat for free at the potato gratin shop if he died? What does that even mean?

Drago: That day everyone would eat for free at the potato gratin shop, if I die.I’ll be sure to post more pictures if this catchphrases produces any other interesting quotes in the future.

Anyway, Ryan was unable to adopt Dotty because his town was full, and no one else expressed any interest in her. So I asked on theĀ friend code exchange pageĀ and found someone to take her. Ramone from EggVille came over to get her.

Ramone from EggVille has just arrived in Forest.Dotty agreed to move to EggVille. I’m sure Ramone will be nicer to her than I was. Have a nice trip, Dotty.

Dotty: I'm moving to EggVille. If you ever get lonely, you can come and visit me there, kidd!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Victoria from Alternia was my most recent dream visitor. And in the Happy Homes Showcase, Arnold from FatVille gave me this bunny r. balloon. Thanks Arnold…but you may want to cut back on that coffee.

The balloon I got from Arnold.And with football season coming up soon, I decided to make a simple shirt with the colors of the Cleveland Browns. If anyone wants the shirt, it’s available on theĀ QR Codes page.

My Cleveland Browns shirt.That’s all for now. I hope to see you next time!

Rolf: Rude and Rich

I got a letter from Gulliver in the mail today, and he sent me a Big Ben model from England.

As I walked along the beach, I finally found a giant-clam shell. I took it up to Cyrus in Re-Tail, and I gave him K.K. Synth as well. I had him make a clam-shell music box for me.

Cyrus: All right then! Leave the rest to me! It'll take about 30 minutes, so go kill some time and come back later!After the half-hour waiting period was up, I returned and picked it up.

Take home the K.K. Synth?I took it home to start listening to it, and I was instantly disappointed. It sounded nothing like what I was expecting, and it was essentially unrecognizable. I guess the music boxes work better with songs that have more melody and less atmosphere. Or something.

Opening up my music box.But as I was listening to it, Rolf rudely barged into my house! He also told me to “deal with it,” which made me want to go tiger hunting.

Rolf: I know this is a bit sudden, but I got the urge to hang out with you for a while! So deal with it!I sat down on my couch until the pesky tiger got the message.

A bit later on, Wendy came over to sell her pears.

Wendy from Pawnee has just arrived in Forest.Rolf asked me for a cherry, and I gave him a perfect one I still had left over from Wendy’s original town of Oakville. He enjoyed it and gave me my very own space station! Wow, how did a tiger get so rich? I wonder if he secretly works with Siegfried and Roy.

Rolf: A space station is my way of showing appreciation! There! Consider yourself thanked!Crazy Redd was in town, and Wendy went inside to check out his items. As she came out of the tent, I sent myself on fire.

Walking through a fountain firework.I’ll be back with another update tomorrow, so I hope you’ll return! Thanks for visiting!
