Things That Still Have You Scratching Your Head?

The problem with every discussion about the rain sounds, is that there arw two distinctly different sounds and everyone lumps them together. There are the obvious croaks of frogs and other natural sounds, but there is also a wailing that happens intermittently. Sounds like a banshee.

*edited horrific spelling*

 

I was wondering actually... so JoJa is a corp and sells their stuff... what of Pierre? from where is he getting his merchandise?

 

After weeks of people complaining how unfair Junimo Cart is, Gus was fed up and locked the coin slot shut with a lock he had custom made for the skull key, then he had Linus bury it at the bottom of the mines.

 

I suppose seed supplies which are not related to JoJa. We know that JoJa does retail and some sort of mining, but maybe they don't run the farms the seeds come from.

 

Caroline gardens, so he sell the produce that she produces, plus what he (presumably) buys from the Farmer and possibly other farms in the area, he probably makes the seeds from part of the produce, and I would guess that he has an orchard....somewhere that he makes the seedling from, in order to always have them on hand. The rucksacks could be said to be made by Emily, wall paper and flooring by Robin, and they probably import at least part of the household goods, or again buy it from other farmers in the area.

Also, the fact that Pelican Town has an active hostile non-human residents problem and Joja STILL decided "yes, this is where we should ruin the environment. The non-humanoid beings that try to kill humans for merely trespassing will surely not take offense." And the active magic users in the area, too. I can't see the Joja-route NOT ending in the area becoming involved in guerrila warfare with the magical beings of the area within ten years.

 

omg I love this so much it should be canon

 

I've always wanted to know if Krobus can actually eat or not because he dislikes all cooked meals. On the other hand, though, he likes artisan goods like wine and cheese which are clearly edible. He also likes vegetables and is neutral to fruit, milk, and eggs (except void eggs, which he loves). Is it just that his species doesn't traditionally cook their food, or what?

 

Yet his species has an inordinate fondness for Strange Buns, apparently. I can picture Shadow Brutes in aprons (They say, 'Slay the Cook', or perhaps are merely decorated with tiny hearts-- anatomically correct hearts, not Valentine's Day hearts.) having baking contests deep underground, or debating the merits of saffron versus cardamom as a spice, only to be interrupted by the intrusion of your farmer's spelunking.

 

Maybe Shadow People absorb the "life" out of food and cooked food has inherently less?

 

Speaking of which, strange buns are actually among Krobus' hated gifts. To me, I think this implies that Krobus knows that you had to have killed a Shadow Brute in order to get one. Of course he isn't aware that Shane shared the recipe with the Farmer and they can simply make strange buns at home, though. Then again, maybe part of the reason he's in the sewer away from the other Shadow People is because they're shunning him for hating strange buns? Is hating strange buns an act that is considered particularly blasphemous among the Shadow People? Are strange buns the Shadow equivalent to pizza?

 

Here's one that still baffles me. Why do I have to go retrieve Lewis's underwear from Marnie's room??? If they're having this super secret affair, why would he let an outsider (a newcomer to town, at that) in on the secret by asking them to do something he could very easily do himself? The logic doesn't make sense. >u<

 

My conclusion is actually that Marnie steals underwear. She may be having an affair with the mayor, but she deliberately took his lucky purple underwear to keep as a trophy.

 

My theory is that Lewis and Marnie were very drunk when he lost the underwear, and with no clear memory of that night to go on, he assumes they were fooling around in the forest somewhere rather than that they just went back to her bedroom. He does seem to genuinely wonder where the underwear was and only gets the most flustered and embarrassed after the farmer tells him it was in her room, after all. As for why he has us look for it, I figure it's because the farmer is the grandchild and trusted heir to the farm of his good friend, so he's kind of banking on said grandchild being trustworthy and able to keep a secret. (He won't ask Marnie because it's embarrassing, and he can't look himself because he doesn't want anyone asking what the mayor could be looking all over the forest for)

 

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. I had forgotten that he didn't actually *know* where the shorts were, but I finished that quest yesterday and his response reminded me he is surprised you found them there. Still though, how'd Marnie miss that pair of purple boxers on her bedroom floor for the better part of two seasons? lol

Side note that's kinda funny, I saw a picture one time where someone put the shorts right smack in the middle of their grange display.

 

If you do, Lewis /pays you off/ to keep quiet about where you got them. You'll lose the Grange Display but you'll make almost as much in hush-money as a bribe.

 

Really? lol That's awesome, I didn't know that. I'll have to keep it in mind for my next save, I've already turned them in on my current one. >u<

 

I was saving it for the grange display and i accidentally handed it off to him right in front of Marnie in the Saloon, as it turns out he'll take it even if you're not holding it.

Why would he accept it in public at all? Why not just ship his pants and he'll find it when he collects everything from the shipping box?

 

One thing that I've always been curious on - no one outside of Sam likes the Joja cola - it's either *dislike* or *hate* to everyone else - so why do I keep finding joja colas in the trash and the rivers and underground rivers? Either Sam has waaaaaaaay too many of these and he's tossing them in really bizarre places or someone is a closet Joja cola drinker! (is THAT the stash that Pierre keeps hidden?)

 

Another strange thing is that if I black out in the skull cavern and wake up in the clinic, my spouse Harvey is taking money from me :0

 

A couple of things that make me scratch my head:

-Marnie telling me in year 3 that her nephew has been living with her for the past few months. Um, I married him in fall of year 2...

-Shane asking "where's the Joja Cola?" after his 6 heart event, then asking me why I was giving him my garbage after I bought one for him. (I still can't decide whether he was deliberately trolling me or not.)
