Claudia’s Pic

I received Claudia’s goodbye letter in the mail when I started up the game this evening. She sent me her picture!

Her favorite quote (on the back of the photo) is “A tiger can’t change its stripes.”

It’s my 34th villager pic. After I put it into storage with the others, Big Top barged into my house. He compared being in my house to the comfort of wearing fuzzy slippers…at the zoo. 😛

Big Top: Your house is so comfy. Visiting your place is like putting on a pair of fuzzy slippers, at the zoo.

I spoke to him a few times until he gave me a gift–a polka-dot sofa. I then sat down until he decided to leave.

When I visited Inkwell, he told me he recently nabbed a jewelry thief: Lolly! 😮

Inkwell: Just the other day I nabbed that jewelry thief Lolly!

But he quickly realized his mistake: Lolly was just carrying marbles.

Inkwell: But it turned out she was just carrying marbles...
Don’t mess with Lolly or I’ll make seafood out of you.

Saharah was in town, and I paid her 3,000 bells for some new wallpaper and flooring. She installed a meadow vista and a lunar surface. I like both of them, but they don’t exactly go together. 😛

Outside, I rolled up today’s snowballs in an attempt to make a snowmam. However, I ended up making a snowtyke by mistake. He complained about not having the rest of his family around. That’s how I feel about New Horizons only having snowboys.

Snowtyke: It's my dream to have my entire family together in this town. I miss those guys!

At the Dream Suite, Luna informed me that Momo from Moonopia was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

If all goes well, I’ll be back with another entry on Friday. Happy holidays! 🙂

Freeing the Tiger

On December 7th, Claudia informed me that she would be moving out on the 17th! I obviously did not try to stop her. 😛

Claudia: I'm moving away from Forest on the 17th of this month. Winter puts me in a migrating mood.

Saharah was in town, so I hired her to install some new wallpaper and carpeting. But as she followed me to my house, she got stuck on…Aurora?

Saharah: Ahh! Wait! Please to wait!

I found a lost item on the ground after I spoke with Saharah again. She ultimately installed a skyscraper wall and a classroom floor for my main room.

Shortly after that, I saved my game and didn’t play again until today (the 17th). I realized that I forgot about the lost item last time, because it turned into just a book! Even more surprising is that Reese considers books to be garbage! She wanted a disposal fee to take it!

Reese: Oh, a book? I can't buy this item, so you'll have to pay a disposal fee to dump it...

I went over to Claudia’s house to say goodbye. She’s all packed up and ready to go.

Claudia: Oh, Tiny J! I'm glad I got to see you before I left town.
That’s a LOT of boxes!

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know I’m glad to get rid of her. I never wanted her in the first place.

My town will now have a vacancy, although the 10th spot won’t fill up on its own, so who knows how long it’ll take to get a replacement. Especially because I no longer play the game online or take it out for StreetPass hits. But at least campers will be an option.

Of course, winter is here now. Snow covers the ground, and villagers have started to tell me what they want for Toy Day. Lolly wants an orange home appliance.

Lolly: I'm being practical this year. I'm asking Jingle for a useful home appliance.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Z0ku from Ranatown, Lilac from Island, Anna from Sunshine, Saba from New Deya, and Winnie from Woodsie. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great holiday season!
