I got my quaint painting in the mail from Crazy Redd today. And as I feared, it is indeed a fake; Reese confirmed it.
The worst part is that she charges a disposal fee to get rid of it! Isn’t it bad enough that I already lost a few thousand bells on a fake painting? Ugh. I hung onto it for now.
While making my rounds around town, Aurora said she had been reading a book on how to become a better hostess. So she invited me over, right away!
I really liked her house, especially the air conditioner on the wall.
She did get a little embarrassed, knowing that I was inspecting everything.
She told me to pick out an item and said she’d give it to me.
But my pockets were full. So I rearranged some items to make space, and then talked to her again. But this time, she wanted 900 bells for the lamp instead! No thanks, I thought it was free! And I thought we were friends!
As I was leaving, she asked how I liked her house; I said I liked it a lot. That made her happy.
Back outside, I found three fossils and the daily money rock. But today, I only got seven money bags out of it (good for 8,100 bells). Usually I’m able to get eight bags, but I must have been a bit slow today. I then went up to Main Street. I got my fossils identified and then went into the Dream Suite. Even though my town hasn’t changed since yesterday, I updated my dream. Luna actually paid me 5,000 bells for updating it! Wow!
She told me of a Japanese player who enjoyed my dream town.
And to my surprise, she said 32 people have visited my dream town! Considering the game isn’t available in most of the world yet, I was shocked at that number.
It was early enough to catch Shrunk at Club LOL, so I headed over there. I meant to give Shrunk a peach for a snack, but because I had three peaches in one basket, it gave all three to him. He taught me the inspiration emotion.
Inspiration was a rare (Frillard) emotion in City Folk. I’m not sure if it’s still a rare emotion in New Leaf or not, but I have a feeling that I may have gotten it this time because I gave him three fruits instead of one.
I stopped at T&T Mart to see if Timmy/Tommy would take my fake painting, but they won’t accept it at all. Tom Nook used to dispose of items for free in previous games, so these little Nookling brats should learn a lesson from their uncle.
Anyway, I returned to town and tried out my emotions on a couple villagers. If you do the greetings emotion, the villagers will respond with the same greeting. When I tried inspiration, the villagers seemed to applaud me. Here’s a picture of Aurora and I greeting each other.
That about wrapped up my day in Forest. But I have two videos for you today! First is a video version of my New Leaf Face Guide:
Also, Nintendo put out another Inside the Treehouse video today. This one is about the calendar of events in the game:
I’ll be back tomorrow! Have a great weekend!
