Lying Eagle

As I was searching for Joan this morning, I fell face-first into some flowers. Clearly, I was having a bad luck day. I won’t even mention the bug that crawled up my nose.

Falling face-first into some flowers.I found Joan outside of the police station, which is a bit risky of her. I know she’s illegally selling turnips without a license! But she was charging 103 bells for each turnip, and I was able to buy 3,100 of them this time.

Joan: The asking price is 103 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?After buying my turnips, I put the game away until much later tonight. By then, Katrina was closed for the day, but I was still falling on my face. Alli and Benedict got to see an example of this first-hand.

Falling on Main Street.
I’m not clumsy, guys, I’m just cursed!

Back in town, Amelia was telling me how she’s proud of her bird legs.

Amelia: Would it surprise you if I said that I'm pretty proud of my legs?She said she was talking about her running speed, but I don’t know. She claimed to be the fastest eagle in Forest for three years running. That was clearly a lie though; she just moved into town last month!

Amelia: Maybe I shouldn't brage, but I've been named "Fastest Eagle in Forest" for 3 years running.I got a few more Toy Day hints tonight. With 18 out of 20 possible clues now, I should have no trouble being a perfect Santa this year.

Aurora: I've given it a lot of thought. For this year's Toy Day, I'd really like something pink.I caught this cool picture of the moon peeking out over the train station, as some wispy clouds flew overhead.

The moon over the train station.Sprinkle asked me for a pill bug, so I went around banging rocks until I found one for her. She said the bug was cool in pudding. Uhh, gross.

Sprinkle: Wow! Is that the bug I asked for? It's so cool, in pudding!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Rhian from Aurias was my most recent dream visitor. And I want to let you all know that I added 10 new patterns from Gia and Beth to the QR Codes page today. That includes some nice outfits, some K.K. album covers, and a cool Nyan Cat pattern that you can make as long as you want. Check it out! Thanks, Gia and Beth! 🙂

Naughty or Nice Day

In the European version of the game, today was Naughty-or-Nice Day. I have the American version of the game, but Tom invited me over to his town to check it out. My first attempt to visit Tomville ended in a disconnection when someone else tried to enter. So the second time, Tom told me to rush over to Isabelle before someone else came in. And indeed, someone tried as I was talking to her.

Isabelle: I've prepared a little something to celebrate Naughty-or-Nice Day. Would you like to see?Isabelle gave me a holiday stocking for the event. And she seemingly responded to the person who was trying to interrupt my conversation with her!

Isabelle: They'll get nothing for being naughty! Ha ha ha ha!Eventually, I finished the conversation and Tom (a different Tom!) and Bethany came over to visit too. Naughty or Nice Day also has a face-cutout standee, so the Toms and I made angry faces. I guess we didn’t like our presents.

Me, Tom, and Tom using the Naughty or Nice face cutout standee.We also went up to Club LOL for some live music. Charlise was also in there, and she said this was the winter-festival concert. But I think she was a bit confused from drinking too much egg nog.

Charlise: All right! It's the winter-festival concert! Let's get fired up! Urgh!After one song, I couldn’t resist trapping “Other Tom” and Bethany in their seats.

Trapping two people in their seats at Club LOL.We went outside and did some glitching on Main Street. But it didn’t take me long to get stuck.

Glitching on Main Street.Tom twice saved the game, trying to kill me (and free me), but I wouldn’t die!

Jeff: IMMORTALITY SUCKS!Eventually, “other” Tom got stuck too, so the regular Tom ended the session to send us all home.

Back in Forest, I continued getting more Toy Day hints. Sprinkle wants something yummy to eat. Let me guess, something she could put sprinkles on.

Sprinkle: You know, I've been really good this year, so I'm gonna ask Jingle for something yummy to eat.I also stopped at my house to put up my holiday stocking.

Hanging up my holiday stocking.Octavian casually told me that Agent S is going to move out of town.

Octavian: I heard a rumor that Agent S is thinking about moving out of town.WHAT?! Oh no she isn’t! I quickly hunted her town and told her she has no choice but to stay. She got the message loud and clear.

Agent S: I've got no choice! I'll cancel my plans right away, pookie!Later on, I made a visit to Tiffiny’s town Auctus. I believe I haven’t played with Tiffiny since April, so it was very good to see her again.

Visiting Tiffiny in Auctus.Her Re-Tail was buying turnips for 104 bells each, which was much more than the 40 bells my Re-Tail was offering. So I sold all my turnips for 332,800 bells. Not a huge profit, but she saved me from losing a lot of money, so thanks again Tiffiny!

I made sure to visit Tammy, who was my former villager. She was standing behind a shirt, and when it zoomed in for the conversation, it looked like she was wearing it.

Tammy: The other day in the middle of the night, my retro fridge started making noise!Of course, Auctus was as beautiful as always. I’m still hoping Tiffiny eventually makes a dream version of her town, because it would make for a great Dream Suite Adventure.

The town of Auctus.We also traded baskets of perfect fruit; she seemed to enjoy the perfect peaches. 😀

Tiffiny: Wahoo!We talked about how we wished the glow wands actually did something. Even if you could hit people with them, that would be an improvement! Leaving a glowing indentation on the victim would be a nice touch too, but I’m probably asking for too much.

After that, we headed over to Forest. Or should I say Fo.

Tiffiny from Auctus has just arrived in FoUp on Main Street, I feared for my life when I saw two frightening cats looking at me and then trying to surround me! They’re the last cats I want I’d ever want to mess with in a darkened alley.

Tabby and Katt on Main Street.Tabby and Katt on Main Street.I quickly ran back to town, where I saw Tiffiny left this message on the bulletin board.

I wish I could think of something clever and funny. I'll probably think of something when I'm gone and it's too late.I drank some coffee near the pond outside my house.

Drinking some coffee.Tiffiny started switching through her tools, and I wasn’t sure what she was doing. But then her big toy hammer popped out, and I ran for my life! Actually I was running to the town tree, so I could pick up my own toy hammer (I leave it there for the dream visitors) and then we had ourselves a hammer fight!

A hammer fight with Tiffiny.Tiffiny ran into Amelia’s house for protection from my hammer. Hiding under Amelia’s wing may keep you safe from hammer hits, but you’re raising your risk of bird mites. That mite be a worse fate.

Jeff: But not from bird mites.After a few minutes in there, Tiffiny had to go, so I ended the session. Thanks for the fun day, Tiffiny and Tom!

Getting Octavian’s Pic

Amelia asked me for a freshwater goby tonight, so I went fishing in the river to catch one. Unfortunately, it took much more effort than I was expecting; it took forever! But eventually, I caught one for her…and she rewarded me with a shirt! A rally tank. Ugh.

Amelia: I hope you like that, Jeff. It's a rally tank.Near town hall, I found a lost item on the ground.

A lost item in the flowers.I began asking my villagers if it belonged to them. Amelia told me it wasn’t hers, but she did stop to call me a bell-pincher. I thought that was pretty rude, but she did say she’s been called a lot worse. I believe it. Airhead.

Amelia: As far as rumors go, that's not half bad. I've certainly been called worse.As I continued talking to her, she said she was going to sit down on the metal bench nearby and hope that a taco truck drives up and serves her tacos. I don’t know what galaxy she’s from, but things like that don’t happen around here. Or anywhere.

Amelia: I think I'll just sit down and hope that a taco truck drives up and serves me delicious tacos.Moving right along, I also had a chat with Agent S. The lost item didn’t belong to her either, but she told me a story about how she once drew eyes on her eyelids. She said they were so stunning that she kept walking around with her eyes closed just so she could keep getting compliments on her eyes. Wow, and I thought Amelia was an airhead…

Agent S: I drew the perfect eyes on top of my eyelids. Everyone said my eyes were STUNNING.Octavian seemed to be the only villager of mine that was both home and awake, so I figured he might be my last chance of returning the lost item to its owner tonight. And thankfully, the item was indeed his.

Octavian: Ahh! My bag! I was looking for this! Where'd you find it?He thanked me and gave me his villager picture! Yes!

Octavian: It might not be much, but here. Take my Octavian's pic with you!I took it home to take a look at it. His favorite quote is “Don’t be a sucker.”

Quote on Octavian's pic: Don't be a sucker!I’ll be back with another update tomorrow, so I hope to see you then. Don’t forget to have a great weekend! 🙂

Update: Just wanted to mention that Baba from Merville was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks to everyone who visits my dream town!
