Gallant Statue

Just in time for the Halloween season, I saw something frightening at the campsite yesterday! Ahhh!

Jambette: I'm going to enjoy the time I spend here. I hope we get to know each other!Daisy told me she had a dream about Joshua from Cheese. That’s a dairy unusual town name.

Daisy: I had a strange dream about someone called Joshua from Cheese.Crazy Redd was in town, and I bought a gallant statue from him. I’ve bought this statue many times before, but the dude has always been fake. Until now! I donated the real statue to the museum today. I only need one more work of art to complete my museum!

Enter the tent at the campground.Rocket the pink-wearing gorilla was inside. She’s certainly not my favorite animal, but she sure is better than Jambette!

Rocket: Oh, you're from here in Forest? Nice to meet ya! My name is Rocket!According to Luna, my recent dream visitors have been Crosby from Town (Tuesday), Joshua from Cheese (yesterday), and Nami from Sunville (today). Thanks for visiting, everyone!

Explorer’s Day

Today is Explorer’s Day, which is better known as Columbus Day outside of Animal Crossing. Isabelle was at the event plaza handing out sailboat models.

Isabelle: Hello, Mayor! Today is Explorer's Day here in town!There was also a face-cutout standee for Explorer’s Day. I got to sail with Kapp’n. I appear to be holding a map, so I must be the navigator. Let’s see, the blue part here is obviously the land…

Dizzy: I know it's sudden, but I'm leaving on the 17th of this month!When I downloaded the hot plate last night, all of my stores were closed for the night. So that’s why I didn’t give any additional information about it–but I will now. First of all, it can be ordered from the catalog for 1,680 bells.

Hot plate: 1,680 bells.Tristan from Big City informed me that the hot plate could also be customized into other foods.

Cyrus: The food on the grill? That can be redone, no problem.Cyrus can turn that egg into a pancake, an omelet, or even pizza!

Options: Pancake - Omelet - Pizza - Never mind.So…of course I ordered a pizza!

Hot Plate DLC

Pete met me outside of my house when I started up the game today, and he handed me a letter from Nintendo. Now through October 24th, a hot plate is available at Nintendo Zone locations.

From 10/11 to 10/24, the hot plate is available via Nintendo Zone.Between Happy Home Designer and Splatoon, I haven’t been spending quite as much time with New Leaf. And Aurora has noticed that fact. She even thought I went on vacation!

Aurora: It's been so long since we last spoke that I thought maybe you took a vacation.Molly told me she thought up a new nickname for me: J-guy. It’s alright, but it’s certainly better than “pookie,” which is what she had been calling me.

Molly: Ummm... How about J-guy?I tried catching a bug, but it escaped by leaping over a cliff. I thought I looked a bit odd when swinging my net over the cliff.

Swinging my net over the cliff.Over by town hall, Peck was sucking up to me. He said the mayor’s beautiful town ordinance made it easier to jog around town, since there are no weeds to look at.

Peck: Thanks to our brilliant mayor's ordinance, it's a bit easier and more pleasant to jog in this town.I went up to the Dream Suite to update my dream town. Jillian from Nevrland was my most recent dream visitor.

I then headed to the post office to pick up the new Nintendo Zone DLC. Phyllis handed me the hot plate and burned my hand.

Phyllis: OK, all right. Here's the hot plate!Since the Emporium was closed, I put the hot plate in my house to take a look at it. An egg is frying on it, and you can turn the sizzling sound on or off.
