New Year’s Eve

It’s New Year’s Eve, and Tortimer can be found outside of town hall, next to a giant countdown timer. If you speak to him, he will give you a party popper.

Tortimer: If you're going to have a countdown, you need a party popper, right? Heh heh heh.In previous years, I would repeatedly drop my party popper on the ground to get another one…and another, and another. They were fun to use on Wi-Fi with other friends, especially when your friends weren’t expecting an explosion in their face. Of course online play is no longer an option, so I didn’t feel the need to stockpile dozens of them. I did get a handful of them anyway, though. Of course, I had to test one out myself.

Me firing off a party popper outside of town hall.I won’t be around to watch the countdown timer reach zero at midnight tonight, but Fang seems to be expecting me there anyway.

Fang: You'll be there. I don't want to hear any excuses about you needing so-called sleep.Up by the museum, Friga told me she was trying to escape from reality. She must’ve had a bad year or something.

Friga: But I guess I'm kind of trying to escape from reality right now, too, so chill.When I circled back to town hall, I spoke with Broccolo. He said this is the day we put 2014 in pajamas and put it to bed. Sleep well, 2014.

Broccolo: Today's the day we put 2014 in pajamas, give it a teddy bear to cuddle, and put it to bed!I took a bus trip to the city, and got my fortune told by Katrina. She told me I would garner support from those who share my gender. Huh?

Katrina: During this shining time, you will garner support, especially from those who share your gender.So I rode the bus back to Forest and started looking for male villagers to see what they’d say. When Ed saw me, he pinged me. “Here we go,” I thought. But he was just telling me he wanted to move out of town!

Ed: I've talked it over with myself, and I decided to bail and move out of town.So supporting me means they want to get away from me? Go figure. At any rate, I didn’t try to stop him. If he wants to gallop away, go right ahead.

I looked for another male villager, and I soon found Broccolo once again. But there was absolutely nothing unusual about my conversation with him. I think Katrina is full of beans.

I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year! Be safe and have a great 2015! I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow, so I hope you’ll stop by again.
