I got a letter in the mail from Benedict. He thanked me for coming over to his house yesterday. He also sent me a juicy-apple clock.
I then took a cherry to Shrunk at Club LOL and he taught me the resignation emotion.
I returned to town and talked to Rolf. He told me he had some wicked heartburn.
He wanted me to find some fruit for him to have for dessert. So I found an apple for him, and he thanked me by giving me a cycling shirt in return.
I noticed there was a tent over at the campsite; Lionel had set up camp.
Unlike my first two campers (Molly and Rolf), I had no interest in convincing Lionel to move into Forest. But I still played one of his games. I didn’t win, despite getting two of three guesses correct. So I had to buy his colorful wheel for 1,780 bells. I took the colorful wheel to my house to see what it looked like…it reminds you of the Wheel of Fish Fortune.
It spins by default; pressing the A button will make it stop on a number. It’s a pretty cool thing to have.
Back outside, not far from Lionel’s tent, was another tent. Crazy Redd was there, selling his art. I know the scary painting he had was fake because I had bought it before and found out the hard way. One of the other paintings didn’t look right either, so I decided on a calm painting. I think I have about a 50/50 chance at it being real. I’ll find out tomorrow.
Back outside, I saw Phineas! He had a new badge for me, the Skilled Angler badge, for catching a lot of fish.
He didn’t have any other badges for me, but my bug count is only two behind my fish count. So I bet I’m very close to earning my next bug badge as well.
Speaking of which, when I crossed my bridge, I saw something crawling…a scorpion! I got my net out and slowly walked towards it. Score! This is my first scorpion in New Leaf, and it’s going straight to the museum. I still need to find a tarantula though. Maybe next time.
UPDATE: After a late night trip to the island (and some nice bug-catching), I earned enough money to pay off my pyramid! It’ll be complete tomorrow!
And Big Top gave me a new nickname, boss!
