Month: April 2012

I checked my mail and I had a goodbye letter from Rocco. He moved out today.

It rained in my town this morning, so I did not need to water flowers today. I still talked to some animals of course, and Kid Cat asked me how Skull was doing. (Or at least I’m assuming that’s supposed to say Skull). I don’t have anyone by that name on my roster, and never have. I’m guessing it’s a friend of a friend, perhaps? I’m not entirely sure where they get the names they ask about sometimes.

Del was apparently feeling bored, so he suggested planting some rumors about Bob. He doesn’t realize that we already have so many rumors going around about Bob that it wouldn’t make much difference. Bob is cheap and easy, and everyone knows it.

I dug up some fossils, identified them, and sold them. I then went to town hall to deposit some money into my account, and my balance reached 11 million bells.

Today is Sunday, so I headed to the city to check for new emotions at the theater. They had worry, curiosity, heartbreak, and glee. I like curiosity (it’s the question mark), but I generally use my four emotion slots for specific purposes that are more important (one for a happy emotion, one for a sad emotion, one for laughter, and one for shock/disbelief). If we could carry 6 or 8 emotions, curiosity is definitely one I would keep at all times. But as is, I didn’t need it or any of the emotions they had this time.

I went back to Forest and started watering my flowers. Egbert decided he no longer needed the clothes he asked me for. That’s fine by me, because I wasn’t about to buy him any more after he didn’t like the shirt I bought him Thursday.

Today is Flea Market Day, where you can buy items in animals’ houses…and they can buy items from yours. I went into Bob’s house to see what he had.

I asked about his crack machine shave-ice maker, but he refused to sell it. The first step is admitting you have an addiction, Bob.

I decided to buy his desert cactus, only because I wanted to try re-selling it at my own flea market. He sold it for 222 bells.

I also caught a yellow butterfly with hopes of selling it. I then went into my house, put the desert cactus and yellow butterfly down, and then sat in my chair as I waited for someone to come in. Before long, Egbert came in.

He first went to my yellow butterfly and asked how much I would sell it for. I tried asking 600 bells for it, but he refused. I lowered the price a couple times until he would buy it. He paid 200 bells for it.

He walked around and walked around some more. I eventually decided to push him behind the counter so I could take a picture with him.

He eventually went to my sandbag and wanted to buy it, but I didn’t want to sell it.

He stood around and walked around, and I was getting tired of the waiting. I pushed him towards my desert cactus and talked to him. He asked about it. I paid Bob 222 bells for it, so I decide to ask triple that amount, 666 bells. He refused, so I suggested 444 bells. He bought it at that price.

I then waited for him to leave, but he never left on his own. I had to leave my house for him to get the message.

As I walked by town hall, I saw Tortimer standing outisde. Today is Nature Day (known as Earth Day in real life), and he had a gift for me.

It was a cool globe. Apparently, this is a region-exclusive item that is only given out in America.

I continued my walk around town, and I talked to Del. He was wearing the Triforce pattern that my friend Olivia made.

After I was done, I switched to my Scott character. I wanted to slightly redecorate his main floor, which wasn’t easy because animals kept coming in for the flea market. And when they’re in your house, you can’t move furniture. So I had to keep leaving my house and going back in until I got everything where I wanted it. Curiously, Mint wanted my toilet. I told her no.

I was a little late opening my gate for Friday Night Forest, opening around 10:20. But my town quickly filled up as Yann, Olivia, and Jorge came in. The UFO was in town, since I shot it down yesterday. I suggested we all take a group photo by the UFO. For Yann and Olivia, I believe it was their first time seeing it.

I also took a picture of us standing by Gulliver. Jorge just started turning around as I took the picture.

While we were there, I saw a big fish and I caught it. Unfortunately, it was just a sea bass.

Anyway, the item I got from Gulliver was… *drumroll* …a pagoda. This is what it looks like:

It’s alright. The good thing is that it’s a Gulliver item I haven’t had before. I’ve now received all of the Gulliver items except for two: The tribal mask and the Metroid. The Metroid of course is the only one I’ve really cared about getting, and it still continues to elude me.

After we hung out in my house for a while, we headed to Ables. Jorge displayed some starman patterns that we had plans for. Unfortunately, they were pro designs and didn’t have the star on the back of the shirt, which is what we needed. We will edit them and try our plan next time.

After we left, we went into a couple animals’ houses. We noticed Olivia wasn’t with us. Her batteries died, so she couldn’t move. A couple minutes later, it hit me…this was the perfect opportunity. I pitfall’d her. (Don’t question my grammar there, I’ve officially added pitfall’d into the Forest lexicon). 😉

But pitfalling a helpless victim is like eating a potato chip…you can never have just one. So I pitfall’d her again. 🙂

I tried for a third time as well, and Yann was helping me out. But Yann “accidentally” pushed me into the pitfall. 🙁

Anyway, we noticed Alice no longer had the shave-ice maker from last week. After the horrible things she witnessed, I can’t blame her for getting rid of it. The surprising part though, was that Bob now has it!

I don’t quite understand the logic of putting a shave-ice maker between a candle and a wagon wheel, but Bob is one odd cat. We did some interesting glitching by Bob’s bed for a while.

After we were done there, the three of us (Olivia was still not with us) went to the museum to play some museum tag. After the first round, Olivia finally had batteries and was able to rejoin us. A couple minutes later, Yann’s batteries also died. She had to borrow some from a clock. 😀

And a little bit later, my batteries died as well! Fortunately, I use rechargeables and I (almost) always have a spare set ready. At one point, it was Olivia’s turn to go count. But when she went outside, she fell into a pitfall. Jorge got her. Too bad I didn’t get to see it.

We ended our game of museum tag at that point. We then went to Nook’s and discussed the fancy carpet. Jorge made sure I’d never look at it the same way again.

We discussed Tom Nook, English muffins, cat farts, and crack. So it was just your typical night in Forest. We later went to Scott’s house, where Jorge did his usual thing to my toilet.

After going through Scott’s obstacle course, Jorge left for the night around 1:15. Yann, Olivia, and I went back outside. I talked to Gulliver again.

We stood on the bridge (and I learned something new about Yuka) and I took one last picture before I ended the party, watered my flowers, and saved my game.
