The Last of Winter?
This is my 10th journal entry for the "New Year New Horizons" ACNH
blogging event, which means I'll probably conclude my longer text-heavy posts and revert back to my usual format of sporadic uploads and snap shots from Tansan (now that I'm back in the momentum of journalling again). I have a few HHP projects to share, finally (which was mostly what I was up to when I came back to the game), but for this last entry I wanted to focus a little bit on my villagers. Despite playing the game regularly for a few weeks now, my villagers were upset that I hadn't talked to them at all (oops). Who knows, maybe the next time I get to catch up with my villagers it will be spring. Anyways, on this cold winter day, here's what some of Tansan's residents were up to!
Ran into
Tabby and
Scoot hanging out at the museum. Apparently they had gone in together but Tabby got distracted, leaving Scoot to his 5th cup of coffee while waiting for her. Do you know what caffeine does to a duck? Scoot was talking poor Brewster's feathers off about the personalities of each of his abs. Looks like
Tabby was in better company. Her eyes were glued to a very plump ranchu goldfish the whole time. It sure was cute, but
Tabby was also drooling a bit. Maybe I should have kept a better eye on her?
Caught up with
Dizzy who was in a bit of a pickle. He had gotten into a fight with
Ken over sharing snacks and wanted me to help mend their friendship. I wondered what would happen if villagers actually took responsibility for their actions, so I told him to apologise himself. I was very proud of Dizzy, who went above and beyond to apologise to Ken, setting up a whole picnic date for them. Turns out Ken also had some apologising to do - Dizzy had initially refused to share his snacks because Ken, being the food snob that he is, once said that peanut butter and jelly was uncultured.
Next I did my rounds to the fishing village to check up on
Hamphrey and
Ken (who made it back from Dizzy's southern hemisphere picnic trip in record time).
Ken had a visitor over! It was
Tasha, who had stopped by to buy some fresh mackerel (do squirrels eat fish?). It seems that
Ken took something away from the earlier apology picnic, as he had also prepared some peanut butter and jelly for the guest of honour.
Nothing really new with
Hamphrey. As the oldest villager in town, he does his best to get in his morning exercise and then likes to go home to vegetate with some coffee and a good book. He also told me he was ready to retire and invest in a holiday home on the island.
Next I ran around to find the other kids. It was freezing out even though I was layered up in the best heat tech imaginable, so I don't blame my villagers for staying indoors.
Jambette was cooking up a storm (for literally 9 hours, even when I was time traveling throughout the day). She taught me how to make an orange tarte!
Erik was fast asleep in front of the door when I came to greet him, so I didn't bother waking him up. Instead I took a quick snooze as well. He was mumbling something about gigantic mecha robots and puppies. On my way out I found
Ursala trying her luck at ice fishing at the canal. I found out that the little green scooter parked out here was hers - every day around 3pm she takes it for a spin and the stops here for a bit to fish and listen to the tunes from the record shop nearby. I guess that makes sense - most of my villagers legs wouldn't be able to touch the floor.
Finally, I went to check up on
Cyd. It was easy enough to spot his big red head from across the bridge. I wanted to stick around to see if his weather forecast was accurate,
even if the grammar in his programming was a little off.
Thanks for the tip buddy!
Thank you all who stuck around and read my blog during this event period!
Once I merge my blog I'll get back to my regular posting habits. Hope to see you again soon!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY POP STAR TABBY!
