Day 5 – Meeting Tortimer

I started up the game this evening to see my newly upgraded house.

In the mail, I got a letter from Isabelle with a paw-print wall attached. I went inside my house to check everything out.  Of course, it’s nice to be able to rotate the camera to look at your house from any angle.

I then went back outside to talk to some neighbors and take a walk. Aurora told me that Tex and Yuka spend a lot of time arguing, and then making up.

And Yuka asked me to catch a snail for her.

Then, I went to meet and greet my newest neighbor Fuchsia. She’s a deer.

But then she called me “girlfriend.” EXCUSE ME?

That’s not the way to make a good first impression.

After stopping by Rory’s house for a quick hello, I headed to the beach. I met an old friend there, Tortimer!

He told me that he lives on a tropical island now, where it’s summer every day. He said he told the person in charge (that would be Kapp’n) to start making stops at Forest starting tomorrow. So I’ll get to visit the island tomorrow! Sweet!

After catching a few fish, I then returned up the ramp. Gabi asked me to make a delivery to Yuka, who was standing about five feet away. You can see her in this picture.

So I walked over to Yuka and gave her the present. She thanked me and gave me a rugby shirt.

After that, I made a stop at the museum. After donating some new fish, I sat to watch a few of them swim by.

I then went over to Nookling Junction to buy today’s fortune cookie. I got fortune #5, which I redeemed for some hero’s pants. Next, I went to the Able Sisters where they had a Makar’s Mask! I bought it.

Back in town, Aurora came up to me and gave me a jade plaid tee, for absolutely free. You didn’t have to do that, Aurora. You were already my favorite.

Gabi was nearby, so I talked to her. She was itchy, so I decided to help her out by catching the flea that was on her.

Yuka came up to me and said she heard I was a freshman mayor.

And after talking to all of my villagers tonight (and paying Reese to take my garbage), my approval rating finally reached 100%!

Unfortunately, it will still take at least a day to be approved for my town development permit.

That’s all for today, but check back tomorrow as I visit the island. With any luck, I’ll have my development permit too.
