Ricky Goes Camping

I had a camper over at the campsite today; it was Ricky the squirrel.

Ricky: My homemade chili gets an extra kick from the peach I put in it. It's good! In fact, it's the best!Why would you put peaches in chili?! Anyway, I had no interest in asking Ricky to move into town. I haven’t been like many of my campers lately, actually.

And Rolf told me that he left his shirt at Tabby’s house!

Rolf: Huh? It's something I left over at Tabby's place?When I went to update my dream town, I saw that Emily from Holland was the most recent visitor to my dream town. If you’re reading this Emily, hi!

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Emily from Holland enjoyed your dream.The Able Sisters had this skull tee, so I bought it.

Mabel: OK, I'll just put the clothes you were originally wearing into your pockets. Thanks!When I returned to town, I did a little fishing and diving. After coming out of the water onto the beach, Aurora asked me to put an outdoor chair there. I would if I could, but the game doesn’t let you put public work projects on the beach.

Aurora: Oh, Mr. Mayor, I have a request! Would you consider commissioning an outdoor chair here?This is what the outdoor chair looks like:

Outdoor chair PWP: 23,400 bells.That might be a nice project to put in at some point. So I can sit it in, and all my villagers will see I’m an even lazier mayor than they realized.

Returning Canberra’s Mitten

When I started up the game tonight, Big Top was right outside my house. He asked to visit my house. I said sure, so he told me to lead the way. So I turned around and went inside. He followed me in and he could hardly believe he was in “killer’s house.” Careful what you wish for, elephant man.

Big Top: Wow! I'm really in killer's house! I've been dreaming about this moment for so long!When he was done snooping around, I went back outside when Big Top was done snooping around. Molly told me she was going to move out of town on the 11th of this month. Permission denied.

Molly: I was about to make a big decision based on a whim! Thanks so much for making me reconsider!Hide and Seek

Before long, Teddy told me that he wanted to play hide-and-seek. Two days in a row? Sure, why not?

Teddy: OK, we're gonna go hide now!I had ten minutes (not 15 like yesterday) to find Teddy, Tabby, and Big Top. It took me nearly four minutes before I found anyone, though. Big Top was the first to go down, after hiding behind a tree.

Sorry, but pole dancing is not permitted in this town.

I won the game, and Teddy rewarded me with a tall lantern. He also said I was a lousy winner, which was totally uncalled for. He needs to remember that I’m the mayor and I can have him stuffed.

Teddy: It pains me to do it, but you earned my tall lantern. I'll win next time, you...you...lousy winner!When I talked to Big Top again, he was talking about…actually I don’t remember what he was talking about.

Big Top: If I were you, I'd face the mountain and yell at the top of my lungs, "Alias is a show!"Returning the Mitten

The lost mitten didn’t belong to any of the hide-and-seek players, so I went around asking everyone. Then I went into Canberra’s house. She was surprised to see me willingly enter her house. I was surprised about that too, to be honest.

Canberra: Huh? I had a feeling I'd be getting a visitor. I didn't think it'd be you, though, mate.She said the mitten was hers. Oh no. My heart stopped. Please don’t give me your picture! Fortunately, she gave me a tan dogstooth shirt instead. I’ve never been so happy to receive a crappy shirt in exchange for a task. Whew, that was a close one!

Back outside, Teddy was acting just as strange as Big Top. What’s with everyone today?

Teddy: What's with that suspicious smile? Don't you wanna have some jungle adventures?
We Teddy and Jeff. Not Tarzan and Jane.
New Badge

But soon, I saw one of my favorite animals to see: Phineas! He gave me a new Refurbishing Beginner badge. It’s for customizing lots of furniture at Re-Tail.

I got the Refurbishing Beginner badge! I have the need to customize more furniture!New PWP Suggestion

Before I finished playing, I talked to Big Top yet again. And this time, he suggested a new public works project! But…it’s just a sandbox.

Big Top: A sandbox! If you agreed to it, we could put one right here!It looks like…a sandbox. Definitely one of the lamest projects.

Sandbox PWP: 36,000 bells.Something New

That’s all for today’s blog. But if you like my New Leaf blogs, be sure to check out my new section on JVGS: Jeff’s Dream Suite Adventures. I’ll be visiting dream towns and writing about my adventures, blog style. If you like my blogs, you’ll like this new section too. My first adventure takes me to the infamous Aika Village, and more dream visits will be added soon. Thank you for visiting JVGS today!

Hide and Seek

Today, I got a letter from Wishy, the shooting star. A gift was enclosed–the Tower of Pisa. I thought that was an odd gift, because it seems like it should be a Gulliver item. I’m debating whether or not I should include this in my “World Wonders” exhibit at the museum. It had been just for Gulliver items, but this seems to belong too. For now, it’s in my modern wood room.

The leaning tower of Pisa item I got from Wishy.When I went back outside, Big Top pinged me. He suggested a new PWP–a hammock!

Big Top: A hammock! If you agreed to it, we could put one right here! Peanut!This is what it looks like:

Hammock PWP: 32,000 bells.I think I may install one, but probably not right away. I’d really like to completely pay off my house.

Anyway, I made a mistake last night: I thought Big Top was the villager who suggested the petition. But when I talked to Big Top again today, he didn’t mention it. But the petition was still taking up a spot in my inventory, so I needed to find out who it belonged to. Because Big Top just wanted to play hide and seek.

Big Top: We're all going to go hide somewhere in the neighborhood.I had 15 minutes to find Big Top, Canberra, and Molly. Canberra was the first one I found, trying to hide behind the police station.

Canberra: Hey! Remember how Aimee came to visit here before? She's from...Termina, right?Later on, I ran into Canberra again. But this time, she was talking about potatoes and French fries. She was making me hungry!

Canberra: Boom! French fries! Yes! I can really go to town on french fries. I pretty much inhale 'em!I eventually tracked down the person who sent me on the wild goose chase last night: Teddy. He told me that it was too late for the petition signatures, so I could just toss it in the trash. At that point, the petition turned into a “paper scrap,” and I could no longer look at it.

Teddy: The deadline has passed, so you can toss the form. Sorry, waddle!At 8:00, I went over to Club LOL to hear some K.K. music. I asked for a random song and he performed K.K. Steppe for me.

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called K.K. Steppe.
