The View from Down Under

Dizzy came up to me today and told me that he smelled a yellow butterfly! Wow, how good is his sniffer if he can not only smell a butterfly, but know what color it is? Impressive.

Dizzy: I smell a yellow butterfly. It's yours, isn't it?
He gave me a mint shirt for it.

Up at Able Sisters, I saw a checkerboard tee for sale. Since I wasn’t wearing any regular clothes lately (just a pattern), I decided to buy it and put it on. This is one of several shirts I sometimes wear in the GameCube game.

Mabel: The rock 'n' roll vibe of the checkerboard tee is nice, right?Pashmina asked me for some fruit tonight. She gave an interesting reason for not being able to get it herself: She said a recent bee sting had a negative impact on her tree-shaking skills. Hey, at least she tried to come up with a decent excuse.

Pashmina: Thing is, I got stung by a bee the other day... It's really had a negative impact on my tree-shakin' skills.I gave her a perfect cherry, and she gave me a polka-dot dresser in return.

Merka came over tonight and we went on a giant dragonfly tour. We had no trouble catching the 20 bugs we needed for 20 medals (plus a bonus). After that, Merka and I decided to do some glitching. We glitched onto the tracks, off the bridge, and into the void.

Glitching in the void with Merka.

We explored under the town, including a look at an unconscious Gulliver. I never bothered to wake him up.

Gulliver sleeping all alone on the beach.You can get some really nice photos from down there, because there aren’t any human characters getting in the way. Here are pictures I took of Peck, the police station, and my fountain.

My gold roses and green path...but no ground!I returned to solid ground by accident; I stumbled into my pitfall that I had buried on my private beach. After being underground for so long, coming out of a hole in the sand felt like I was being born. I guess that makes me a son of a beach.

I’ll need to remember to replace that pitfall tomorrow, so that new pitfalls won’t pop up around town. When Merka was done exploring, I dug a hole on the beach so she could be born too. Congratulations, it’s a Merka!

Merka's baby picture.Since Merka “accidentally” killed one of my gold roses, we purposely disconnected when we were done instead of saving and quitting. She invited me over to her town for a bit while she worked on her town. While there, I found a lost item on the ground. I tried to see if I could find its owner, but it wouldn’t let me.

...I bet it belongs to someone from town. I wouldn't want to mistakenly take it home, so I'll just leave it.Merka has a lot of flowers in her town; Bribs is looking good! It doesn’t get much more colorful than this.

Flowers in Bribs.As Merka werked worked, I went around catching butterflies and talking to her villagers.

Muffy: I'm Muffy! Just Muffy! No title necessary!I offered to help out by digging up many of the buried items she had around town. I found quite a few gyroids!

Gyroids piled up outside of Re-Tail.Once it was time for Merka to have lunch (she’s 14 hours ahead of me), she ended the session and I returned home. Before ending my night, I put a large glowing ornament on top of my Christmas tree. Okay, not exactly. 😛

Also, stay tuned to JVGS in the next few days. I’ll be posting a new Amiibo Festival blog entry on Jeff’s Gaming Blog and I’ll also be posting a new Dream Suite Adventure! I’ll be visiting a very cool and unique town! See you soon!
