Sprinkle’s Last Dessert

I got a letter from Rolf, thanking me for the medicine I took him while he was sick. He’s felling better now, and he sent me a tie-dye tee.

This morning, Re-Tail was buying turnips for 109 bells each. I was afraid I was going to lose money again (like I did last week), so I sold about half of my turnips. But in the afternoon, the price jumped up to 158 bells and I sold the remainder of my turnips for a modest profit.

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 158 bells.I put my money into the bank, and my balance topped 42 million bells.

Your current balance is 42,170,000 bells.Today was Sprinkle’s last day in town, so I went in to say goodbye to her. But she was more interested in telling me how she’s a superstar with many fans.

Sprinkle: Wanna know why I have so many cardboard boxes? For all my fan letters, of course! Hee hee!Beth from Polly told me she wanted Sprinkle, so I invited her over. She went to Sprinkle’s house, but left the house before Sprinkle agreed to move in. I told her she may need to talk to Sprinkle again, but Beth took off and went roaming around town, showing no interest in taking Sprinkle…despite that being the sole reason I let her come over in the first place. Once I lost track of her and had no idea what she was doing, I disconnected.

I tried to find someone else to take Sprinkle, and eventually Merka agreed to take her. She also had some turnips to sell; I tried releasing some moths on her when she would come out of the store.

Releasing moths on Merka.And Sprinkle is now a resident of Bribs.

Sprinkle: I'm moving to Bribs. If you ever get lonely, you can come and visit me there, ice cube!Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about pyramids, pharaohs, and mummies. Clearly, he was headed to Egypt.

Gulliver: Tricky thing is, those pyramids are actually the graves of the ancient pharaohs. Mummy curses, I tell ya!The island had the giant dragonfly tour today, which is one of the best tours. I went on it several times alone, and then later, I did several more with Merka. I earned a bunch of easy medals today.

Celebrating a successful island tour with Merka.Have a good weekend, everyone!

Gemini Closet DLC

I found a sloppy dresser for sale in Re-Tail today, so I bought it. I’ll keep it in storage until I complete the set. Maybe then I’ll have a giveaway for it, but that will likely be a long time away. These items don’t show up very often.

Reese: Oh, the sloppy dresser? This item belongs to Dizzy from here in Forest.Over by the video screen, I found a lost item on the ground. I was hoping it didn’t belong to Sprinkle, because I’m purposely avoiding her. She’s supposed to move out tomorrow, and I’m not about to risk changing her mind.

Finding a lost item on the ground.But I found that the item belonged to Cally. I forget what reward she gave me, but thankfully it wasn’t her picture.

Cally: Hey! This IS mine, got acorns!I headed up to Main Street, and Luna told me that Chris from Alitura was my most recent dream visitor. And in the post office, I checked to see if there was a new DLC item, and Pelly handed me the Gemini closet.

Pelly: Sorry to keep you waiting! I hope you enjoy your new Gemini closet!Many regions of the world already got this last year, but it’s new to America. It can be ordered from the catalog for 4,800 bells.

Gemini closet - 4,800 bells.And of course, I finished up my day with another trip out to the island. The pros-only bug hunt earned me 12 medals.

Tortimer: That's enough to net you a Gold Tortimer award and 12 medals!I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow, as I say goodbye to Sprinkle. Hannah and Cailin have expressed interest in adopting Sprinkle, but I’m not sure if they’ll be able to take her tomorrow or not. If not, I’ll be looking for someone else to take Sprinkle tomorrow night. Please contact me if you’re interested in being an alternate penguin adopter.

Metroid Tune

Rolf was still sick today, so I bought some more medicine for him. At first, it sounded like he was going to refuse it!

Rolf: Huh? I'll get better on my own, so I don't need any medicine! Heh. Well, since you insist, I'll take it...But he went ahead and gulped it down. Or maybe he gulped it up as he flipped upside down.

Rolf flips as he takes some medicine.Up at the Emporium, I decided to see which of Gracie’s clothing items I still needed for my catalog. It turns out I needed everything that she had on sale today! So I bought it all out.

Gracie: Of course! I can't wait to see you in it! Gracie Homme turns any boy into a full-fledged hunk, darling.I was long overdue to change my town tune, so I changed it to the Metroid power-up jingle. I’ve used this as my ACCF town tune before, but I’m not sure if I’ve used it in New Leaf or not.

Metroid power-up town tune.I think Isabelle was glad to hear something different for a change.

Isabelle: I'm sure this will be a big hit with the townsfolk. We'll start using it right away!I finished up my evening with a boat trip out to the island (as I often do). I went on a bug hide-and-seek tour, which earned me 15 medals.

Tortimer: That's enough to net you a Gold Tortimer award and 15 medals!
