November Begins

While shopping at T&T Emporium today, I saw a harvest chair for sale. Apparently they’re selling harvest furniture in stores this year, just like they sold the spooky set in stores.

Timmy: Ah, a harvest chair! A fine item, yes?And up on the third floor, Gabi was hiding behind a sweets chair. She looked like she had seen a ghost. Or maybe her reflection.

While I was on Main Street, I went into the post office to check for this month’s DLC. The item for this month is an autumn-leaf chair.

Pelly: Sorry to keep you waiting! I hope you enjoy your new autumn-leaf chair!This is what the autumn-leaf chair looks like:

November is mushroom season in New Leaf. I spotted this elegant mushroom in my town; it’s worth 10,000 bells.

An elegant mushroom on the ground in Forest.I spoke with Big Top and he asked me to fetch Benedict for him. I was a bit surprised by that request, as I don’t recall anyone asking me to get someone else and bring them back before. But I found Benedict and had him follow me to Big Top’s house.

Benedict: Huh? Big Top wants to see me? Well, since you came all this way to pick me up, sure, I'll go, J-bot.When we arrived, Benedict was a bit afraid that Big Top was going to chew him out.

Benedict: You didn't call me here to chew me out, did you, Big Top?But Big Top only wanted to return something he borrowed. Interesting. Why didn’t he just ask me to make the delivery? Maybe he doesn’t trust me. Is this because I accidentally opened his time capsule before? It’s not like I would have taken the item and defiantly hurled it into the ocean or anything. But at any rate, Benedict was relieved that he wasn’t in trouble.

Benedict: I thought I was in trouble or something, so I was all nervous and sweaty, buhk buhk.Benedict then left, and Big Top rewarded me with a modern wood lamp. After that, I headed over to the cafe to work a shift. An out-of-towner came in for coffee that I recognized quite well from my City Folk town: It was Avery!

Avery: Gimme a coffee! And make it a Kilimanjaro!After I was done working, I saw a tent at the campsite. I already have the maximum of ten villagers, so I was hoping nobody I really wanted was inside. Fortunately, the camper was Ed.

Ed: Oh, I'm not anyone suspicious!Back outside, I found out that–just like in City Folk–one mushroom each day will actually be a piece of mush furniture. Today, I plucked a mush closet.

I thought it was a mushroom, but it's a mush closet!Eventually, I returned to the Emporium. Rolf was in the gardening section, telling me he can relax when he’s surrounded by plants…up a tree.

Rolf: I feel like I can fully relax when I'm surrounded by plants, up a tree.Missed Opportunities

Gulliver was down on the beach, so I used my megaphone to wake him up. He told me he was headed to a country that gets cold in the winter and is the home to the Nobel Prize. That wasn’t much to go on, and I didn’t know the answer. I guessed Switzerland, but I was wrong.

Gulliver: Somehow, I think that's wrong.When I went back up the ramp, I saw Benedict over by the lighthouse. I heard the sound effect of a flea jumping on him, so I got my net out and caught it. He told me I could keep the flea as a present. Thanks, pal.

Benedict: As my way of saying thanks, please keep that flea as a present!I then went diving in the ocean. After I caught a scallop, Pascal popped up and asked me for it. I agreed to give it to him, and he gave me a barrel in exchange.

Pascal: The best things in life are free, but if you try to sell them, you always seem to make a KILLING, maaan...While I was still out diving, I heard a balloon present flying overhead; it was a silver slingshot. But it was traveling out to sea, so I wasn’t able to shoot it down. All I could do was watch it sail on by.
