As I started up the game tonight, a message informed me that today was La-Di-Day! This event wasn’t in the other Animal Crossing games, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
But before I went to investigate, I took a look at my newly upgraded house. An upstairs window has been added, which is visible from outside.
On the inside, my main room is now 8×8 instead of 6×6. But I’m not really using much of my space yet.
I headed over to town hall, expecting to find Tortimer there to tell me what La-Di-Day was all about. But he wasn’t there, and they didn’t say anything about it inside of town hall either. But my buddy Static clued me in. He told me that the best song will become the town tune.
You have to talk to the animals a second or third time before they’ll sing their song for you. Once they do, you have the option of “hiring them,” which means you’ll adopt their song as the new town tune. Despite the odd description Static gave me of his song, I actually enjoyed how it sounded and I made it the town tune. For the moment, at least.
But La-Di-Day wasn’t the only music event going on. Since it’s Saturday night, K.K. Slider was also at the Roost to perform some live music. I let him pick out a random song for me, and he played Two Days Ago. It’s one of my favorites.
When I visited Pate, I found her all packed up in boxes. Even though she’s not one of my enemies in town, I decided to let her go. So long, ducky.
When I came back around to Nook ‘n’ Go, I saw a curious sight: Static was walking with a net out, followed by Yuka with a net out, followed by Baabara with a net out! Is today also a net parade day?
After saying no to Biskit’s song, I went to visit Chevre. To my surprise, her song was the Super Mario theme! What made it all the more interesting was that she was using Alfonso’s old catchphrase, “it’sa me.”
I said no to that song too. But I visited Kiki the black cat next, and I kind of liked her song. I’m not sure if it was better than Static’s, but it was hard to say no to Kiki. You’re hired!
I also listened to Bill’s song on my way home, but I stuck with Kiki’s tune for now. Overall, my first La-Di-Day was a bit anticlimactic. The event definitely isn’t a huge deal or anything, but it is a nice way to occasionally change up your town tune.
Once home, I put Two Days Ago in my stereo and then went up to bed. I’ll see you all next time!
Here’s a video showing many of today’s events:
I wouldn’t have been able to say no to Kiki, either, because she looks just like my youngest cat, upturned nose and all.
I’d have probably gone with Chevre’s tune, that sounds so adorable and I love her 😛
