3-Year Time Capsule

Late on April 10th, I managed to snap a photo of the early-April pink trees (and falling cherry blossom petals) before they disappeared hours later.

The pink trees of early April in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

On Monday, Cherry was visiting Inkwell at the same time that I was. I chatted with both of them until they were sick of me. They both had their thought bubbles above their heads at the same time. Wow, they must’ve really hated me. 😆

Inkwell and Cherry, both sick of talking to me.

On Tuesday, Rolf asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I did, but unfortunately, my battery later died before I could save the game. So it’s like that (or anything else I did in that session) never happened. Oops.

But that made me decide to do something else I’ve been putting off for years: I gave Aurora back her time capsule that I accidentally dug up too early back in 2020!. She never asked for it back! But she was happy to have it in her possession again, and she gave me the li’l bro’s tee that was inside.

Aurora: Wow! You found it for me?! You know, I was just thinking it was about time to dig that thing up.
We both know that’s a lie.

Yesterday, Eunice the sheep was camping at the campsite. She’s nice (it’s in her name!), but I wasn’t interested in adopting her. And of course, my town is full anyway.

Eunice: Hello. I hope it's all right that I've decided to camp here. You have a lovely town.

Gulliver was in town, and he was talking about flamenco dancers and matadors. He was headed to Spain.

Gulliver: You've also got the dangerous and exciting birthplace of matadors. Such daring and bravery!

Today, he sent me a Gaudi’s lizard in the mail. Boots immediately wanted it, and he asked me to trade it for a dawn tank. He threatened to bite me, so I didn’t have much choice in the matter. 😉

Boots: Please trade me for my dawn tank! And I bite?

I found a lost item on the ground, and I returned to it to Cube. He said that he has been keeping his cheesecake in it! He then gave me an editor’s desk to thank me for returning the bag. But he didn’t even offer me a piece of the cheesecake! 😉

Cube: Whoa! I was looking forever for this!

Lolly’s Birthday 2023

Yesterday, I received a letter from Cherry in the mail. She thanked me for inviting her over last time, and she sent me an imperial wall.

Winnie the horse was camping at the campsite, and she was talking about the voices in her head. 😉

Winnie: This trip was SO last minute, but I'm totally glad i listened to that little voice inside my head!
Was it the Horse Whisperer?

I found a lost item by the train station, and it was very close to being on the tracks! Good thing it didn’t get run over by a train. 😉

I picked up a lost item!

I returned it to its owner Cherry, and she rewarded with a dogtooth shirt! I hope the teeth aren’t hers!

Cherry: It's not much... But as a reward for findin' it, you should totally take my dogtooth shirt!
This shirt bites.

Today is Lolly’s birthday, so I headed over to her house for her birthday party. My buddy Rolf was also there to help her celebrate. 🙂

Lolly celebrates her birthday with me and Rolf.

I gave Lolly a towel rack that I bought from Harvey as a birthday present. But she didn’t seem very impressed. 😆

Lolly: Wow, a towel rack! I'm, uh, touched. Thank you!

Over by the town tree, Cube asked if there were any weird things that I like.

Cube: Hey, do you have any weird things you like? I definitely do.

He said that he likes holes in pants!

Cube: Like...holes in pants!
Do you even wear pants?

He elaborated that holes aren’t a good thing in socks, but they are in pants. 😛

Cube: Holes in socks aren't cool, but holes in pants are awesome!

My villagers kept telling me that Rolf was thinking of moving out, but I couldn’t talk to him about it because he was at Lolly’s party! But I started up the game again later, and he was finally outdoors. So he pinged me, and now he’s safely stuck in Forest for a while longer. 🙂

Inkwell and I were talking about me hypothetically being a soccer referee. He asked if I would give him a yellow card, a red card, or a blue card. I didn’t think there was a blue card in soccer, and I didn’t want to penalize him anyway, so I chose that one. So he accused me of not knowing much about soccer. 😛

Inkwell: You don't know much about soccer, do you, champ?

To be fair, I don’t know a lot about soccer. 😛 But I did know about the penalty cards, at least. 😆

Shamrock Day 2023

Last Saturday, Cherry asked me for some new furniture. She said it doesn’t matter what kind of furniture it is…because she’s a dog. 😆 Ah, I love when catchphrases work out like this. 🙂

Cherry: Any kind of furniture will do! I'm a dog!

Harvey was selling a garden faucet, and I thought Cherry (as a dog) could get a drink of water any time she’d like. So I bought this for her.

Harvey: Ah! So you're interested in my garden faucet...

Cherry liked it, and she rewarded me with a cube clock.

On Sunday, I saw a balloon present heading towards the geyser! Oh no, the present is going to get wet! 😉

A balloon present heads for the geyser.

But the balloon actually took a detour around the geyser. Not to mention, the geyser didn’t erupt when the balloon was overhead anyway. Oh well. 😛

The balloon present flies over the geyser.

I don’t always root for chaos, but Animal Crossing could use a bit of it sometimes. Just to liven things up. 😆

On Monday, Inkwell, was chatting with Lolly, and he ran out of topics to talk about. He asked for my advice, and I told him to talk about books. But Lolly overhead us (of course, since she was right there), and she was offended. Oops!

Lolly: Sorry I'm such a boring girl that you ran out of things to say!

But once she calmed down, she said that Animalese 101 was her favorite book.

Cherry was wondering if we dug deep enough, if we’d tap into a geyser. Judging by what was happening right behind her at the time, I’d say yes.

Cherry, with a geyser erupting behind her: I wonder... If you dig deep enough around here, do you think you'd tap into a geyser?

Today (March 17th) is Shamrock Day, better known as St. Patrick’s Day. I put on my club shirt and headed to the plaza, where Isabelle gave me a shamrock hat to wear.

I did not turn into Mohawk McClover this year in New Leaf, though I did in City Folk and New Horizons. But at least that gave me the chance to keep the shamrock hat on, and my villagers all commented on it.

Molly: Is that hat to celebrate Shamrock Day? What a great idea, quackers! Hee hee!

Rolf asked me to fetch Lolly for him, and I agreed to help out. When we got back, Rolf told Lolly that he likes sweets, but not store-bought ones that are too sweet. 😛 So he asked Lolly to bake him something that was a bit more savory. Lolly knew just what to do.

Lolly: If that's what you want, how about using fruits instead of sugar as an alternative sweetener?

She’s going to bake something for Rolf, and I hope Rolf shares with me! 😉 Anyway, Rolf rewarded me with a green wardrobe. Fitting for Shamrock Day!

Cherry asked to visit my house, and I let her come over. I showed her every room before she left. She didn’t give me a reward at the time, but I’m expecting one in the mail soon!
