Looking Up at the Sky

Agent S told me that she was thinking of moving out of town on January 18th.

Agent S: Hey there! I know it's totally out of the blue, and I hope I don't shock you. But I'm thinking of moving.But of course, I changed her mind for her. If she thinks I’m going to let her move out, she must be nuts.

Meanwhile, Octavian was sitting on the bench enjoying the cold night. He actually sounded pretty uncomfortable, so I wonder why he didn’t just go home. Maybe his tentacles were frozen to the metal bench.

Octavian: I'm just sitting here thinking about life while the night winds blow... It's pretty cold!And yes, those are the northern lights up in the sky. It may be cold out here, but the lights display in the sky makes it bearable.

Big Top: I'm deciding what people are going to have for dinner based on what their faces look like.I continued my walk around town, stopping to take pictures of the northern lights at the zen bell…

The northern lights above my zen bell.…and Octavian’s house.

Luna: Records state the number of clients who have experienced a dream about Forest is 6,666.If anyone else wants to stop by, my dream address is 4300-2003-9889. You may be mentioned in a future blog entry if you happen to be the most recent visitor at the time.

I also went on my normal Main Street shopping run, which generally doesn’t include any actual shopping. But on the second floor of the Emporium, I seemed to interrupt Tabby. I think she was wanting to use the toilet on display, but she was waiting for me to leave. Eww.

Chatting with Birds

I started out my New Leaf day with a Dream Suite visit to the town of Funkytwn. It was suggested to me by Cory, so thanks, Cory! For the full story about my dream visit, check out the Funkytwn page at Jeff’s Dream Suite Adventures.

Molly: I'm not really sure what an exotic chest looks like. I'm painting without a reference.She wanted the one in my pockets, and I agreed to let her have it. In return, she gave me a bird feeder! Why does everyone keep giving me bird related items lately? And won’t Molly go hungry without this?

Molly: You could have my bird feeder in return. What do you say?There was an igloo set up at the campsite, and I went inside to visit the camper. It was Groucho the bear, and he was questioning his own sanity for camping in weather like this. I had no interest in asking him to move in, by the way.

Groucho: Even I think I'm a bit crazy for going camping out of town in this cold weather...I’ve found a few famous mushrooms lately, and I was going to use some of them for Friday Night Forest last week. But nobody showed up, so I hung onto them. With my pocket space running low (snowflakes and a bingo card were crowding my already-bulging inventory), I decided to leave them for the dreamers. So if you visit my dream town sometime soon, you can find three famous mushrooms, a toy hammer, and a chocolate coin near the town tree. My dream address is 4300-2003-9889 if you’re interested. Enjoy!

Aurora: Like hanging each item of clothing on the end of my fishing rod and drying it that way.My villagers can be a bit odd sometimes. But that’s okay.

Aurora: The fact that my clothes smell like the river later is all part of the fun!After updating my dream town, Luna told me that Livvy from the town of DropDead was my most recent dream visitor. How lovely.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Livvy from DropDead enjoyed your dream.

Aurora Knit Shirt

Yesterday, I got Amelia’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Amelia's goodbye letter.Joan was selling turnips for an even 100 bells apiece. I bought 3,100 of them from her.

Joan: The asking price is 100 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?My customized pickle jar was done, so I promptly picked up my pack of pickled peppers.

Take home the pickle jar?There was an igloo at the campsite, and I found Caroline inside. She’s the red squirrel with eyes the size of pickle jars.

Wide-eyed Caroline in an igloo.And then tonight, I found a lost item near my bamboo trees.

A lost item in the snow.After asking five or six of my villagers about it, I found out that it belonged to Agent S. She thanked me for returning it, and she rewarded me with a garden tank.

Agent S: What?! I looked everywhere for this book!Octavian asked me to return an item to Aurora, so I agreed to help out. Once I tracked her down, she thanked me and gave me an aurora knit shirt.

Aurora: It's an aurora-knit shirt!
Does that mean you made it yourself?

I then finished my night with a trip up to Main Street. After I updated my dream town, Luna told me that Audi from Syksy was my most recent dream visitor.
