Late last night, I played some more New Leaf. And I noticed that animal footprints actually depend on the animal! Here you can see Benedict’s chickeny footprints.
I also saw Big Top, and he asked me if he smelled good. Uh, I guess so? He said it was because he was using a shampoo that smells like cheesecake. At any rate, he was happy.
Then today, I got a letter in the mail from Gulliver. Even though he was mostly talking about Hollywood, the gift he sent me had nothing to do with movies. It was the Statue of Liberty. It’s nice to see Lady Liberty back in Animal Crossing, after skipping City Folk.
And on the bulletin board, Timmy and Tommy posted a notice that the T&T Mart will be closed for remodeling tomorrow.
And the campsite didn’t sit unused for very long after all! There was a summer camper in a tent there today! I must say the tents looked better on GameCube though.
The camper inside was a cute duck named Molly inside.
She asked if I wanted her to move into Forest, and I told her yes. So she suggested we play a game to decide. If I got her question correct, she would move in. If I got it wrong, she would take the peaches in my pocket instead.
Her question involved her using emotions. She said in a certain game, if you knock things down, you’ll feel like this…and then she did a happy emotion. And if you miss, you’ll feel like this…and she did a sad emotion. The correct answer was clearly bowling, so she’s going to be moving in! She’ll soon be a villager instead of just a camper. 🙂
Shortly after leaving her tent, I saw yet another tent in town! But this one was Crazy Redd’s. I inspected his four pieces of art (two paintings and two statues). I felt like the paintings were fakes, but I wasn’t sure which statue was the correct one. Ultimately, I decided on the beautiful statue.
I’ll find out tomorrow if I made the right choice or not.
Back outside, Tex wanted to read me a poem in exchange for a gem I dug out of a rock. I said no, and that made him depressed.
After digging up four fossils, I went to Main Street for my shopping run. T&T Mart had a cheese wall for sale, and I bought it.
I then headed over to Re-Tail to sell some stuff and I got quite a surprise when I walked in the door. Cyrus, the blue alpaca who had been asleep all month, was finally awake!
He asked if I was bothering his wife. Wife? I thought Reese was his mother! She talked about him as if he was a kid. Oh well. I had him all wrong. In fact, he’s a pretty big jerk. A jealous, threatening jerk.
But he isn’t completely useless; he can customize furniture for you. He can change paint colors, redo upholstery, and put patterns onto furniture. I had a cabin low table in my pockets, so I thought I’d put him to work on putting a JVGS pattern onto it. Basically, I just wanted to test it out.
I had to wait half an hour for him to finish the job (knowing him, he probably needed time to nap). But when I returned, I got the table back and this is how it looks:
After going back outside, I ran into Fuchsia. I hadn’t talked to her yet today, so I said hello. She asked me for a fresh peach to eat, so I found her one. In return, she gave me a brown pot from her pot stash…Â That was an interesting choice of words.
With that, I finished my night in Forest.
Nintendo is concluding their Inside the Treehouse series with one final video from Isabelle. Here it is:
