Let the Clues Begin!

With Toy Day coming up in a few weeks, villagers have started to drop hints on what they would like for the holidays. For example, Agent S told me she wanted something yellow.

Agent S: By the way, I really hope my present is yellow! That's totally the trend this holiday season!

Here is a quick summary of the (very few) hints I’ve seen so far:

  • Agent S: something yellow
  • Hornsby: something green
  • Lolly: blue umbrella

I found a lost item on the ground last night, and it turned out to be Lolly’s.

Lolly: Hey! This IS mine!

I was hoping to get her picture as my reward, but she gave me a cabin bookcase instead. Lolly’s been living here for 15 months, and I’m still trying to get her picture. It shouldn’t take this long. 🙁

Today, Hornsby asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I had ten minutes to find him, Aurora, and Agent S. The first one I found was Aurora–she was behind a tree near the face-cutout standee. I then found Agent S behind Claudia’s house. Hornsby took me the longest to find, but I spotted him down on the beach, hiding behind a banana tree.

As my prize, he gave me his mop.

Hornsby: You won, J-bot! Since you're so good at hide-and-seek, I'll give you my mop!
What a prize. I really cleaned up.

When I spoke with Aurora after the game, she said she felt like sunbathing in igloos!

Aurora: It's so nice outside today, it kind of makes me feel like sunbathing, in igloos.
I don’t think it works that way…

Big Top told me that he accidentally bought an extra screwdriver.

Big Top: I messed up and bought an extra screwdriver.
Maybe you have a screw loose.

My recent dream visitors, according to Luna, include Kingston from Treetop and Emma from Sky Blue. Lolly also mentioned dreaming of Hwin from Tevinter. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great night!

Jeff the Shark?

Hornsby asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek tonight, and I agreed to play. Hornsby then told me to take it easy on him, because I have a reputation as being a real shark?

Hornsby: You have a reputation as being a real shark, J-bot, so take it easy on me, OK?
Sharks don’t take it easy on anyone.

I had 15 minutes to find Hornsby, Molly, and Agent S. In under a minute, I found Molly trying to hide behind Rolf’s house.

I see your head, Molly. You should have…ducked.

A couple minutes later, I found Agent S behind town hall. She said she’d hide better next time, in a tree.

Agent S: Well, good for you. I guess I'll just hide way better next time, in a tree.
Well now I know where to look for you!

And still with 11 minutes and 30 seconds remaining on the timer, I found Hornsby hiding behind a tree near my house. I guess I didn’t take it easy on him after all.

He gave me a pop-up book for winning the game.

Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about the Cossack dance and matryoshka dolls. He was clearly headed to Russia.

Gulliver: ...Russia!
He’ll soon be rushin’ off to his destination.

At Club LOL, Peck was apparently taking a break from shopping (for the holidays?).

Peck: Heya, Jeff! I'm pumped about shopping today!

Speaking of shopping… If you’re looking for a gift idea, how about an Animal Crossing sticker book?

K.K. Slider performed Agent K.K. for me, Peck, and Kabuki.

My recent dream visitors include Kathryn from Mazeland, Donni from Village, and Sammy from Kalos. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Claudia the Mail Thief

Yesterday (November 22nd) was Claudia’s birthday, and I attended her party. I’m not a fan of Claudia, so I decided to give her a skinny mushroom as her birthday present. But I guess the joke was on me, because she loved it!

Claudia: Mmm. You know the way to my heart. This looks delicious. Thank you, Tiny J!

Interestingly, she said she would cherish it forever, or at least until her next birthday. But if she’s going to eat it, then how would it still be with her by next year? Maybe I don’t want to know.

Claudia: I'll cherish this gift forever and ever. Or at least until my next birthday, in igloos!

Molly was also at the party. Maybe she felt sorry for Claudia.

Molly: I'm glad you came to celebrate with us! When it comes to parties, it's certainly the more the merrier.

Today, Aurora told me she keeps having dreams about a mummy’s casket! Sounds like a nightmare!

Aurora: I keep having this dream about a mummy's casket.

But she was just wanting to buy mine; she gave me 1,320 bells for it.

Claudia told me a package meant for Hornsby was delivered to her house instead. So naturally, she expected me to solve her problem.

Claudia: I can't keep it! Everyone will say I took it from Hornsby's mailbox! You KNOW how people talk!
Hey, everybody! Claudia stole from Hornsby’s mailbox!

I took the package over to Hornsby, and there was a Papa panda inside.

Hornsby: It's a Papa panda!

He said he ordered it to give it to me, and he mentioned what a big coincidence it was that I brought it to him. But of course, this situation occurs far too often for me to believe it’s just a coincidence. 😛

When I spoke with Lolly, she told me she has wanted a Papa panda for a very long time.

Lolly: You may not know, but I've wanted a Papa panda for a very, very long time.

She paid me 864 bells for it.

Lolly also mentioned that she was carrying around a fishing rod so that she could catch fish in 5 years! Now that’s what I call being prepared! 😂

Lolly: I'm carrying around my fishing rod so I can catch fish, in 5 years. Why else would I have one?

At Re-Tail, Rolf bought that genie’s lamp that Claudia was selling last week. Wait until he finds out there are no wishes left. 😛

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Jake from Florida, Toad from Maryland, Logan from Farbourn, and Betsy from Hotwheel. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
