Royal Jester

I spoke with Teddy today, and he told me his secret dream was to own a yellow butterfly. Wow, he’s easy to please.

Teddy: My secret dream is to own my own yellow butterfly...He was actually wanting to buy the one in my pocket. He only offered 90 bells for it, but I wasn’t about to keep him from his dream. 😀 In that picture above, you can see a buried item in the background. Because I generally don’t want to bother digging up pitfalls, I usually walk over dig spots first before digging them up. This one was indeed a pitfall seed. Teddy seemed so worried about me.

Teddy looked worried as I struggled to get out of a pitfall.Agent S asked me to get her some perfect fruit. So I handed her a perfect pear, and she loved it! Just look at those eyes!

Agent S: That's even MORE delicious than I thought it'd be, Jeff! What a perfect pear!She rewarded me with a folk guitar. Tom then invited me to his town, so I stopped over for a brief visit. When I got there, I was surrounded by royals! Two kings and a princess!

Everyone was wearing crowns.I joked that I could be the royal jester (Jeffster). Tom took that suggestion seriously, and he got a jester outfit out of storage for me!

Royalty and the royal jester.I started dancing the Shrunk Funk Shuffle, and Kippei thought it looked creepy. He said it would be even worse if I was holding an axe. So naturally, I got my axe out and started dancing with it.

After a while, I started changing back into my regular clothes to give Tom his jester outfit back. Once I had the mohawk back on, I decided I could be known as Mohawk McKiller.

Jeff: Mohawk McKillerAfter Tom ended the multiplayer session, I bought some medicine for Big Top, who was still sick today.

And in Able Sisters, I made a QR code of my green brick path in case anyone wants it. It’s now available on the QR Codes page. I also want to mention that since that page was getting so large (and slow to load), I have now divided it up into separate pages. The newest submissions will still be on the main page, but the older patterns have been moved to separate pages arranged by category.

After that, I went up to the museum. I realized I didn’t have a good picture of my whole World Wonders exhibit room, so I tried to get a decent picture of it tonight. The room is complete, although not every item made it into this picture.

My museum exhibit of Gulliver's items from around the world.While I was there, I decided to make a GIF of the hula doll:

Dancing hula girl GIF.When I returned home, Molly came over for a surprise visit. She gave me a cushion that she said reminded her of me.

Molly: Oh! I'd like to give you something. It's a cushion that reminded me of you.Later on, I saw Penelope was looking for a hair-bow wig. The hair-bow wig is a popular item that I’ve seen sell for 100,000+ bells. But now that it’s in-season at GracieGrace for around 5,000 bells, I’m trying to spread the word that people shouldn’t overpay for it. Especially this time of year, when it’s not hard to find. So I’ve bought a couple of them lately and sold them for 5,000 bells, including this one to Penelope tonight.

Penelope's new hair-bow wig.She asked to see my house, so I let her take a look around. She also asked to shop, but my stores were all closed. Ugh. I really wish I could have two ordinances, because it’s annoying having these stores close so early.

Medicine Give and Take

Last night, one of my villagers told me that Big Top was sick. I would’ve bought him some medicine, but there was a problem. Due to these crappy non-night owl hours, the Emporium was closed. But I knew of a great solution: I purposely got stung by bees.

Getting stung by bees.If you’re good friends with a villager, they may give you some medicine to heal yourself. And sure enough, Aurora came through for me.

Aurora: Oh, that's right! I happen to have some medicine on me! You can take it to reduce the swelling.Of course I didn’t use the medicine on my swollen face, because I was going to give it to Big Top. But something funny happened when I went in to see him. He commented on my bee sting, and then gave me medicine!

Big Top hands me some medicine.And then, of course, he asks me for medicine for his sickness! Why didn’t he just use the medicine he already had? 😀 But I handed the medicine right back to him, and he swallowed it down.

Big Top: Maybe I'll feel better enough to play outside soon.Then today, I got a couple of letters in the mail. Gulliver sent me the red-tasseled lantern from China, and Katie sent me a toy camera for taking her to Mooville yesterday.

When I ran into Agent S, she immediately asked to buy the lantern for 600 bells. Normally, I wouldn’t agree to sell a Gulliver item for 600 bells. But since it was Agent S, and since I recently missed an appointment with her, I wanted to make it up to her.

Agent S: Oh, 600 bells? Yay! That's the perfect price. For reals, sell your red-tasseled lantern to me!After selling it to her, I spoke with her several more times. She mentioned meeting Grace from Amoure in a dream. (Luna later confirmed Grace was my most recent dream visitor).

Agent S: I had the weirdest dream last night! I met a person named Grace from Amoure...I saw a tent over at the campsite, so I went to see who was inside. For a moment, I thought it was Rhonda; but it was actually Renee the rhino.

Renee: I'll have to remember this place! Yo yo yo!Tom came over for a brief visit, dressed all in green. So clearly, that makes him Tom Green.

Jeff: Hi Tom Green.He soon glitched into my zen bell. Well, to him he was on top of the bell…but he appeared inside the bell to me. He rang the bell several times, as did I. He soon went deaf.

Tom41: OMG I'm deaf!Before long, I ended the party so I could update my dream town. I later went out to the island, and ended my game soon after. See you all next time!

Oh, one last note: I just put up a Festivale guide. For those of you who time travel, I included the date of the event for each year through 2022. This is my 4th New Leaf guide, and I plan on making more in the future. (The others are my hair guide, face guide, and eye color guide).

First Gulliver Duplicate

Today, Molly told me she planned on moving out of town on March 16th. Naturally, I made her stay.

Molly: OK, the move is off!I went to Melly’s town Rotledge to drop off some flowers. I got to see more of her town than I did last time, and it’s really looking great.

Melly's town of Rotledge.Grass and water patterns in Rotledge.While I was there, I checked her turnip prices at Re-Tail. Reese was buying them for 146 bells apiece, which isn’t a huge amount, but it is pretty good. So I sold my turnips and scored 160k.

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 160,600 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?When I returned to Forest, Kidd suggested a new public works project: Stonehenge.

Kidd: And it's free of charge! Yeah, what we definitely need around here is a Stonehenge.I like Stonehenge, but I’m not sure if I want to put it in my town. At any rate, it’s not a priority. This is what it looks like, if you haven’t seen it before:

Stonehenge: 698,000 bells.And Molly was sitting on the metal bench in front of the fountain.

Molly: This is the best season for relaxing outside. Why don't you sit down and join me, mayor?She asked me to join her, so I did.

Sitting on the bench with Molly.I soon spotted Katie walking around, and she wanted to go to another town. Karen offered to take her, so I took Katie to Mooville.

Katie: OK, I'm gonna go see what Mooville is all about!Once I returned home, Copper told me that rough waters will wash up foreign objects onto the shore. Is he calling Gulliver a foreign object?

Copper: The rough waters will often cause foreign objects to wash up on our shore, so watch your step!So I went down to the beach to wake up Gulliver, and I found out he’s headed to China.

Gulliver: ...Ding-ding-ding-ding! That's right! I was headed for China!However, I’ve already received his gift from China (a red-tasseled lantern) back on August 15th! So this will be my first duplicate item from Gulliver, which apparently means I now have all of his items. Sweet! That was so much easier than it was in City Folk, that’s for sure!

Before I ended my day, I made a trip out to the island and I also updated my dream town at the Dream Suite. My most recent dream visitor was Ana from Cocoa. See you all next time!
