Full House

Today, I decided to change my town tune again. I went back to a tune I used in the GameCube game a lot, Saria’s Song from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

The Animal Crossing music notes for Saria's Song from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.I talked to Ruby, and she said she wanted to move out. The little alien has grown on me, and I don’t want her to leave, so I told her to stay. She said she still wants to move out. I’ll have to keep talking to her to try to convince her to stay.

Ruby: I'm even sick of my house! In fact, I think I'm just gonna move away!I found an empty lamp, which (in theory) means that Wisp should appear later that night. But it was already after 9:00 p.m., and he was nowhere to be found. I’ll have more on this at the end of the blog.

Finding an empty lamp by the river as Egbert looks over my shoulder.I opened my gate at 10:00. Mike, Phoebe, and Olivia quickly came in and I had a full house. After hanging out in my house, Scott’s house, and some animals’ houses, we had a good old-fashioned net fight.

Fighting with our nets.Soon after, I took a brief mid-air nap. Actually, Phoebe pitfalled me.

Jeff jumps out of a pitfall as Phoebe exclaims "I GOT YOU!!!!"Then we spun our umbrellas in the snow for a little bit.

Twirling our umbrellas outside of Nook 'n' Go.And then things got a little violent.

Holding my axe up to Olivia's neck.I didn’t want Mike to feel left out, so I beheaded him as well.

Holding my axe up to Mike's neck.And we all got shocked for some reason.

Some of us using the shocked emotions.Phoebe started singing showtunes, and Olivia and I tried to escape to save our virtual eardrums.

Jeff, standing near the ocean, presumably about to jump in: We can't hear underwater!I had no choice but to end the party. It was nearly 12:15 by then, so I had over two solid hours with a full house. It was kind of nice to not have everybody clear out after an hour like it used to.

After everyone was gone, I took another look for Wisp. I did not see him anywhere, and I think I know why: Katie is in town. When the Wi-Fi characters (Katie, Kaitlin, Blanca) are in town, they prevent other characters from being there, even if it’s their day. Now if the gate is open, they’ll disappear, but many of the other characters won’t show up if someone else is in town. Since my town had visitors the entire time my gate was open, I was unable to see if Wisp would be there in that situation, but I believe that’s why I didn’t see him. Oh well.

Meteor Shower, Snowman, Gold Roses

There was a meteor shower in Forest tonight. I stopped on the bridge to watch a shooting star fly past.

A shooting star flies by, through the clear night sky.On my walk around town, I saw a happy cat and a sad cat:

A happy, whistling Bob standing next to a crying lost kitten, Katie.Poppy asked me for a new catchphrase. I tried to teach her “poopy,” but the game wouldn’t let me. So I added an extra “o” and it worked fine.

Poppy: Pooopy. Hm... I like the way it rolls off the tongue!I saw two snowballs near each other, so I made a snowman.

Snowman: But I never dreamed that I'd wind up this gorgeous! You, sire, are an artist! I can't thank you enough!If you’ve been reading this blog for a long time, you may know that one of my long-term goals is to line all my paths with gold roses that I bred myself. My collection has been growing lately, so I replaced the red roses leading to my museum with gold roses. I still have a bunch of other gold roses in certain areas of town, but I still have a long way to go.

The path to my museum lined with gold roses. Bob is standing in the light from the museum's open door.

Valentine’s Day

Today is Valentine’s Day and I received this letter from Mint:

Dear Jeff, Happy Valentine's Day! Please enjoy this little treat, since I think you're pretty neat! -From: MintShe sent me a chocolate heart! I don’t recall ever getting one of these before.

A chocolate heart sits on my snowman table.I also went to The Roost to enjoy a hot cup of coffee hot chocolate. On Valentine’s Day, Brewster secretly replaces the fine coffee he usually serves with hot chocolate! Sweet!

Wait a second... This is hot chocolate!!It snowed earlier in the day, so I didn’t have to water my flowers. I shot down a balloon present and got a cabin dresser.

Of course, I also talked to some of my animal neighbors.

Bob: Oh, you arsonist! What are you up to today, master?Kid Cat was telling me about the weird sounds that come from his body.

Kid Cat: And when I'm lying in bed, I hear weird cartoon sound effects coming from my body.
