Ice Cream is for Dreamers

Beth asked if she could come over to collect signatures for a petition tonight, so I opened my gate for her.

Beth arrives in Forest.As she collected signatures, I watered my flowers. I hope your villager gave you something good, Beth!

Nobody purchased the vanilla ice cream cone I put up for sale in Re-Tail during last night’s Wi-Fi session, so I decided to give it to the dreamers. I put it near the town tree, near the other goodies like the famous mushrooms and the chocolate coin. My dream address is 4300-2003-9889 if you want to stop by for ice cream a visit.

The goodies I've left for dream visitors.Tom told me that he was planning on moving out of town on August 15th. But you just got hereNo! You’re not going anywhere!

tom: It's about time I moved on! I'll be leaving on the 15th of this very month!Up at the Happy Homes Showcase, I checked out the home of someone I StreetPassed–Edward from Red Hook. It looked like a fancy museum!

A fancy home...or is it a museum?I found out it was Squishy who put the gyroids (tootoids) outside of my train station last night. (At first, I thought it was BranDex). Thanks, Squishy! I still needed one tootoid for Club LOL (I want a whole row of tooting gyroids, don’t judge me), so I tried taking one of them up there tonight. Unfortunately, it was just after 8:00, so I was too late. I’ll try again tomorrow. In the meantime, I danced with Skye, Kabuki, and Tammy.

Dancing at Club LOL.

Fireworks Party

This morning, I bought 4,100 turnips from Joan. She was charging exactly 100 bells apiece for them.

Joan: the asking price is 100 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?My newest neighbor Velma was outdoors today, fishing in the pond. She said fishing is like meditation for her.

Velma: Fishing is a form of meditation for me. So peaceful...Just after 8:00 tonight, I opened my gate for some Sunday night fireworks. BranDex and T Zelda came over to visit. TZ was dressed up as a Splatoon squid.

Watching fireworks with BranDex and TZ.Down at the event plaza, Isabelle gave me a flower bopper. I used a Roman candle on TZ. Fried squid, anyone?

Burning TZ with a roman candle.Squishy came over to visit, so I had a full house in Forest. We all bought some cookies from Crazy Redd, stopping to spit out the tickets baked inside of them. I got a Lyle prize: Bang.

Redd's Cookie. Congrats! You got a bang prize!I was able to redeem it for a boxed figurine. Before long, a line had formed for Redd’s services.

Everyone was in line for Crazy Redd's cookies.And of course, it wouldn’t be a fireworks festival without the fireworks!

Watching fireworks.Back by Crazy Redd’s stand, we were all acting surprised for some reason.

Using the surprise emotion.Squishy and I roasted some cherries.

Using fireworks on a basket of cherries.A bit later, we got disconnected. So we all lost everything we got from our cookies and winning tickets…ouch. I reopened my gate; BranDex returned, MaryAnn came over, and TZ returned. I hadn’t seen MaryAnn in a long time. And that’s not a tall tale.

Jeff turns super-sized after eating a famous mushroom.We hung out by Re-Tail for a while, and then TZ left around 9:00. Squishy then returned. When I spoke to Agent S, she told me to call her a firecracker! Better than a nutcracker.

Agent S: You can call me a firecracker, because I totally give off the same sparkling aura as a lit firework!After eating another cookie from Redd, I was quite surprised when I got a sparkle prize. Or at least I looked surprised.

Redd's Cookie. Congrats! You got a sparkle prize!Stop. Hammer Time.

Smacking each other with toy hammers.I found two tootoids just outside of the gate. Are they supposed to be Copper and Booker?

Two gyroids by the train station gate.Shortly after 9:30, BranDex said he was going to leave. I also decided to wrap things up, and I ended the session for the night. Thanks for coming BranDex, TZ, Squishy, and MaryAnn! I hope you had a good time at the Forest Fireworks Festival!

Dreaming of Lebanon

Velma’s house has now been built and the Mystery Machine was sitting right outside. I went inside to meet my newest neighbor (and crimefighter/ ghostbuster). She moved from the town of Red Hook.

Velma: Nice to meet you! I'm Velma. I just moved here from Red Hook.She was in the process of unpacking, and she told me the boxes would be gone by tomorrow. And if not, she has some consequences for herself?

Velma: And if they aren't, I've got some very serious consequences lined up for myself.Back outside, I found a lost item on the ground behind Molly’s house.

A lost item on the ground among flowers.It didn’t belong to Molly, Rolf, or Agent S. But the 4th time was the charm: It was Daisy’s bag! She thanked me for returning it (although she didn’t tell me what was inside…probably a cookie). She rewarded me by giving me a cabin armchair.

Daisy: I had something really important inside, so I'm relieved you found it, cookie.After completing my walk around town, I went up to the Dream Suite. While there, I took a dream visit to Clayton’s town of Lebanon. The current dream address is 4C00-0073-C02F. At the train station, I found…some trains!

Train patterns on the ground in the town of Lebanon.The town is currently set to winter, so there’s snow on the ground…and on the PWPs.

Snow on the ground and on the solar panel PWP.And there are PWPs just about everywhere you look. Lots of flowers, too.

A fountain and a flower clock in the town of Lebanon.Many PWPs in Lebanon: A park clock, street lamp, blue bench, and jungle gym.Many of the villagers are cats, and the town tune made me laugh: It’s the song from the Meow Mix commercials! Haha! It sounds best when sung by the cat villagers, of course.

Tangy: Hey! Who are YOU? Are you... from another town maybe?Clayton has a room in his house devoted to his many villager pictures.

A room with many villager pictures.It’s a really nice town, so give it a visit if you’d like! Again, the dream address is 4C00-0073-C02F.

Once I woke up from my dream, I updated my own dream as well. (My dream address is 4300-2003-9889 now 5D00-000F-7611). Luna also told me that JD from the town of Miller was my most recent dream visitor.

Thanks for stopping by, everyone. Tomorrow is the fireworks festival, and I’ll be opening my gate around 8pm Eastern time for people on my 3DS roster. (This replaces Friday Night Forest for August). So I’ll have another entry tomorrow night. Have a good night!
