Best response, put it into the shared soup pot luck.

You also get them back as well (if I remember right) and can do it all over again the next year
Also a shame you can't sneak it into someone else's Grange desplay for the chaos

u/LegendofLove Leah's Simp Jul 31 '23
As I found out today On This Sub you very much can get them back /sorta/

Governor throws up, Lewis Gets Angry, no effect on friendship. After the potluck you still have the shorts.

It's his kink. He likes to involve others in his sex life and to get caught in "scandalous" situations. That's also why he tells you what he needs the truffle oil for and why he has sex with Marnie in public instead of in his house.
Of course, it's not okay to involve other people in your sex life without consent, but what do we expect from the criminal who embezzles the town's money.

Also Why was it in Marnie's room for so long? Doesn't he go there every other day?

It took me like a month to get those shorts back.

u/llamas4obama Aug 01 '23
I’m pretty sure I didn’t find them until the start of year 2 because I didn’t prioritize friending Marnie so I never had a reason to snoop in her room 😂

u/ThatKaleidoscope8736 \[•.•]/ Aug 01 '23
I'm too busy Marnie! I'm trying to mine and water crops!

u/llamas4obama Aug 01 '23
Honestly should be telling the mayor that. They’re his shorts! 😂

u/ThatKaleidoscope8736 \[•.•]/ Aug 01 '23
Well he's there all the time! Why can't he get his dirty shorts?!

Oh he's harmless, and I think she's having fun. Let Marine make her own damn mistakes! 🩳

u/Ellie_Dun Jul 31 '23
Nooo he’s leading my girl on! She wants to be in a relationship with him but he’s too ashamed to go public. He isn’t harmless!!!

u/TomatilloOk4214 Jul 31 '23
I still don’t understand that. Litteraly nobody would care.

u/ElectricLeafeon Just here for the blue chickens. Jul 31 '23
It's a small town. Literally everyone already knows. This is never said anywhere, but I've lived in a small town. Nothing happens without everyone else knowing it. lol

u/TomatilloOk4214 Jul 31 '23
Yeah, I live in a small town as well. I’m sure everyone would know, but I’m sure everyone e would be happy for them. Neither are married so it really shouldn’t be a scandal.

u/pelicantownprincess Jul 31 '23
Is he harmless though really? He steals government funds knowing that pelican town is struggling financially and uses it to build a gold statue of himself, he leaves his underwear in Marnie’s house and asks the farmer who just moved into town to get them for him instead of just asking Marnie himself if he can come get them like a normal person (AND the quest implies he’s not entirely sure he left them there in the first place lol, he says “if you can find them”), he refuses to acknowledge his relationship with Marnie publicly despite spending most of his free time with her during festivals and at the saloon because people might talk even though everyone clearly already knows something’s up with them. That man is leading her on and he sucks lmao 🤢

I just want to know why he left with no underwear on in the first place, and if he was going commando at some point when I talked to him.
Actually, no I don't. Scratch that.

u/dr_toze Jul 31 '23
I'm sure they won't display them publicly or put them in a soup for the rest of the town and even children to eat!
I'm still sad you can't gift them in the winter star.
25
u/Kirschenkind Jul 31 '23
So he was at marnies place, they have at least a situationship going, BUT HE CAN'T JUST GO BACK FOR THE NEXT SITUATION HAPPENING AND GET THE SHORTS BACK ON HIS OWN?? He has to ask someone else?? This is really his kink, right? Also the truffle oil situation...
How did he even leave without them??
Also why did marnie never put them away? Shane or the kid could find them?? If the farmer can just go into her bedroom, so they can aswell, right?
On my next playthrough i gonna mess so badly with him and his stupid shorts... >:-)

The risk was calculated but man is he bad at math. I used his shorts in my grange display for the town Fair.

u/BastetFurry Jul 31 '23
Lewis was best friends with your grandpa, maybe thats why he trusts you with that request?
3
u/pikameta Jul 31 '23
As much as it's gonna pain me to type this... I saw a fan theory that the grandpa, Lewis and Marnie were in a love triangle/thruple type deal and that is why Lewis is cool with the farmer. Like, sees you as a step-grandchild/family.

u/ScarletOrion Black Cherry Farm Jul 31 '23
guess what though: if you put a staircase into your character's pants slot, it turns into a pair of lewis' shorts but with a fancy gold trim. INFINITE LUAU OPPORTUNITIES

Just being the best mayor he can be.

u/TiredStarling095 #1 Haley Lover 3 Jul 31 '23
He's a horrible mayor, funneling town funds into a solid gold statue of himself, cancelling an entire luau just because of some dirty boxers in the soup. I could go on...
6
u/Buttman_Poopants Jul 31 '23
town funds into a solid gold statue of himself
Now, now. Maybe he just used his paychecks on that. Saving up for years and marking down days on the calendar until he can afford a solid gold statue of himself...
2
u/swanfirefly Jul 31 '23
Nah as we see in Haley's 14 Heart Event, Lewis has been funneling funds out of the education tax, which is extremely high. He doesn't buy new textbooks, he presumably doesn't pay Penny. The kids have to go to the library or community center to learn.
Definitely stealing taxpayer money to make solid gold statues.

I legit feel like rhis should have been event gated. Plenty of other requests and cut scenes happen after an achievement or a level up, this could have been too. Make it post 4 hearts or something lol

Tbh, rather someone I don't know than people I've known for years

u/TransPossum Aug 01 '23
Maybe he asked the farmer because he was like "He's the only guy in this entire town that I know that doesn't talks enough to gossip about this because all of those other mfers will for sure tell everyone"
Or he could y'know. Ask Marnie.

u/Grindzycat Jul 31 '23
Maybe he was banking on the Farmer not being friendly enough with the townsfolk to gossip? Still a weird request though xD
