The Clock Trade

On Monday, Moose the mouse was camping at the campsite. He said he just kept running and running until he got here.

Moose: I was really focused on running. I ran and ran and ran. And when I looked up, I was in this town!

Keep running, man. Keep running.

Yesterday, Mira asked me to catch a coelacanth for her!

Mira: What I need now is to study a coelacanth to learn this tail-attack thing!

I try to complete requests for villagers when I still need their photos, but a coelacanth is just sooo rare. Besides, it wasn’t even snowing! So I declined her request.

Mira: Huh? Really? But it would be so easy for you, dude...
No it wouldn’t. Do it yourself, superhero.

Hornsby gave me a leaf tee, and I decided to put it on. I know it’s not very wintry, but I needed to change my clothes. They were getting a little stinky. 😛

I played again a few hours later, and guess what? It did start snowing, after all.

Snow flurries fall in Forest.

It was too late to go back and accept a declined request, but Mira actually had another request for me. There was one problem…

Mira: Oh! I need to run something by you. I'm collecting signatures for the Practice-Waddling Day issue!

It was for a petition! I can’t travel to another town to collect signatures, so I had to decline this request too! Oof, two in one day? I’m never going to get her photo. 😖

Remember the Mouth of Truth I gave Rolf last month? I found it up for sale in Re-Tail today!

Reese: Oh, the Mouth of Truth? This item belongs to Rolf from here in Forest.

I bought it back, even though it cost me over 6,000 bells. And when I went back outside, Aurora told me she had a dream about a Mouth of Truth. Sounds like a nightmare. 😛

Aurora: I keep having this dream about a Mouth of Truth.

She wanted to buy mine for 2,280 bells, and I agreed to the deal. It’s kinda funny how this keeps getting passed around between me and my villagers. Maybe it’s why none of us have any fingers. 😉

If you didn’t get that joke, it’s because of the legend of the real Mouth of Truth in Italy. Supposedly, it’s like a lie detector. Put your hand in its mouth, and then say something. If you’re lying, legend says it will bite off your hand. 😛

Fortunately, Mira had an easier request for me today: Catch a river fish. I caught a bitterling for her, and she rewarded me with a lightning tee.

There was another camper at the campsite today: Phoebe the ostrich…or phoenix. She’s much better to have around than Moose, that’s for sure. But of course, my town is full anyway.

Phoebe, at the campsite: I'll have to remember this place! Sparky!

Cube wanted to trade away his cube clock that I gave him! I guess he’s trying to turn back time. But even more interestingly, he’s trying to trade it for another clock!

Cube: Let's make a deal! Wanna trade your cabin clock for my cube clock?
He had time on his side, but so did I.

I agreed that it was time to trade. After all, the deal was second to none.

Later on, I regifted the cube clock to Inkwell when he asked me for some furniture. But he only gave me a fish in return!

Inkwell: Oh! I might as well give you my old crucian carp as a reward!
Man, that’s a raw deal.

I finished up my night with a concert at Club LOL. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Waltz” for me. My former villagers Hamlet and Pashmina were also at the show.

I’ll see you all again in December! Never Stop Crossing!
