Is it really true? It is - it's another typical Tamagotchi log!
It's been over two years (I can't believe it) since I started the original version of this log, inspired partially by @anasmilkbar's own tamagotchi log that had a creative spin on this sort of self-RP template that involved not only some entertaining writing, but her own fantastic artwork of herself and her tamagotchis featured beside the forever-iconic multi-coloured dialogue!
As my Tamatalk anniversary begins to approach once more - nine years as of writing, I can barely believe it myself -, I found myself wanting to give another one of these logs the old college try. This has also been sparred on by an extremely lucky find at a toy fest I went to recently; involving an ita bag I bought and stuffed full of Tamagotchis, a longtime vendor who was lost on how valuable vpets are in this day and age, and - can you believe it - a Tamagotchi Connection V4 that they bought out when they saw the GigaPets Pixie hanging off my bag -- a V4 they were selling for only $20!!!! swear I've had dreams about this situation before. Needless to say, I almost exploded then and there, and you can bet your bottom dollar I swooped it up.
The connection line may be a mixed bag of things, owning to their messy localisation and varied reception amongst our fellow collectors who sit in the 90's or modern tama categories, but... unfortunately for me, and for our readers who sit firmly in those boxes - more power to you, you're the heroes resisting the growing prices of our beloved mid-2000's vpets! - I grew up on the line. And the V4, arguably the most buggy out of all the connections released over in the west, is a version I hold very near and dear to my heart. It's also likely that - forgive my foggy memories - this mysterious $20 V4 is also the same V4 shell I owned as a kid and have been subsequently searching for since I got into the hobby way back in 2013.
That same night, after popping in a fresh new battery, much to my delight I also discovered save data on there that could possibly be almost a decade old - the fact that there were multiple souveniers from the very defunct Tamatown website (rip) present alongside Aba, a first-generation Violetchi with her adorable baby girl, were a dead giveaway. Additionally, the fact that this device was also in possession of someone who didn't know what the brand name of it was at all also makes me suspect I've stumbled across a device that was used and beloved back in the heyday of mid-2000's Tamagotchi fandom, left to the wayside whether the battery was taken out on purpose (27th of April around 9AM, the clock was set to!) or died that very morning. In these local toy collecting communities, trading is commonplace and involves a bunch of shuffling amongst lots and the like - that's my guess as to how the vendor got their hands on it. Either way, it's amazing, isn't it? None of the pre-owned tamas I've bought in the past have had this intricate preservation of the love and care their former owner showered their 'gotchi with.
While we were still there at the fest my friend made the joke that it could've been my own from when I was younger, but honestly, I don't think I inputed the username ABCDE upon start-up XD I wasn't that strange of a kid... maybe. (this is, consequently, what the tamas I'll be raising on this version will know me as forever... oh no...) It also might've possibly just been thrown out, but as I said, foggy memory. Someday I'll find out what happened to you, old V4 I had as a kid... oh, my, this is getting long.
If you read all of that, thank you very much! I wanted to archive this info somewhere public, at the very least. LET'S START THE LOG!

The same night I put the battery back into this lovely little V4 (subsequently cringing when I discovered a dead battery already inside - no corrosion, luckily!) and was greeted with Aba and her little babby, she left at the ripe old age of seven, leaving me to wake up in the morning and start the second generation. I named her baby Tutu.
For those who don't know: On the V4, your Tamagotchi's evolution cycle is not only determined by how well you take care of them, but also the amount of skill points you rack up in each of the three categories (Intelligence, Art, and Kindness) - each of these categories have different character "families" associated with them, and you can have a really fun time trying to obtain them all through a combination of different skill point amounts. While Aba/Violetchi belongs to the Kindness category, I purposefully steered Tutu away from it when she was a toddler through a combination of playing the starter games (most of the time I got kindness points, pain and suffering) and using the 20000+ gotchi points kindly left over from the old ABCDE to purchase a bunch of snacks that would raise her art skill points by force.
And thus, over the past few days, I've successfully managed to raise little Tutu from babyhood to what I excitedly witnessed her evolution into today - Memetchi!

Isn't Tutu adorable? Sure, if you're like me and grew up with those funky eyes, that is. She stole my umbrella in that last photo. I'm cold.
Memetchi is one of my favourite Tamagotchi characters - in my opinion she enforces the simple character design associated with the series (apologies to modern-era fans), while daring to add a light touch of feminine, moe-esque design to the mix. I think she's super cute!
Here's Tutu's stats at the mo:
However, as Tutu only just evolved today: No job offers yet! I'm all done with the logging part now - let's meet up with Tutu, shall we?
～・・＊・・～
Finally! It's about time I got to talk.
You were practically chewing my arm off the whole time I was writing this!
Yeah, and? Come on, ABCDE, more like you're chewing our readers' ears off!
You wound me, Tutu. And please don't tell me you're actually going to stick to calling me that.
But it's your name! ...well, you don't usually look like a weird Mimiyoritchi either.
I'm just a mysterious person, I suppose. Always under the guise of a some poor repainted Tamagotchi.
I want the real ABCDE back.
Never mind that, I want my umbrella back. Gimme.
Nope! It's mine now. 
How are you doing that with your--
Ooh, a thunderstorm! Wheeeeee!
OH GOD--
Next post: A funeral for an umbrella. Rest in pieces. ABCDE- I mean, Tamacass buys a new one... but will it fill the umbrella-shaped hole in her heart? Tutu bribes her way into employment, but still fails to get a job. And a new friend makes their way onto the scene...?!

Ah, as for the first half... Tutu will be very pleased to hear that! (don't be surprised if she's drawn with a bigger head these next few posts... XD) RIP umbrella indeed. 
...Anyway, down where I am it's almost ten o'clock in the morning! Let's start the log!
