Month: May 2016

I received Elise’s goodbye letter in the mail today. I’m glad her stay in Forest was such a short one.

I had another camper in town today, and at first I thought it was the same cat as yesterday! But it was actually Rudy today; yesterday’s camper was Punchy.

Agent S asked me to find a cherry for her, so I grabbed a perfect cherry that I had attached to a letter. She loved it, and she rewarded me with a queen. Wow, it’s not often that you find a squirrel who carries around a queen in her pockets.

It’s always a good idea to talk to Copper (or Booker) more than once–especially if the first thing he mentions is a camper in town. I spoke to Copper a second time, and he told me that Phineas was also here! So I began my search for him, expecting that he would give me either a fishing badge or a bug-catching badge. But once I found him, he gave me something I wasn’t expecting: The Heavy Sleeper badge!

It’s the silver badge for visiting 200 dream towns. I need to visit 300 more before I can earn the gold one. That will likely be one of the last badges I earn. I think only the gold weeding and StreetPass badges will take longer–and I’ll probably never get the StreetPass one. But anyway, here is a look at my current badges:

I found a lost item behind the Roost, but it didn’t belong to any of the first villagers I asked about it (Molly, Rolf, Agent S, Daisy, or Pashmina). As I approached Big Top, he pinged me. Turns out he wanted to buy the hula doll that I got from Gulliver recently. He gave me 450 bells for it.

I spoke to him again, and he confirmed that the lost item was his. He gave me a ranch bed for returning it.

Since I knew today was a possible Phineas day, that gave me the motivation to go out to the island for some fishing and bug-catching. My trip earned me over 180,000 bells, but all those catches did not trigger another Phineas appearance. One of these days…

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Alyssa from Cat was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

It was a gloomy, rainy day in Forest today. Agent S was outside holding an umbrella…it’s too bad she doesn’t curl her tail up over her head to block the rain like a real squirrel.

Pashmina told me that Agent S looks like a frog! Really?

She wanted me to catch a frog for her, so that she could compare them. So I did, and she rewarded me with an optical shirt.

She never followed up to say if she still thought Agent S and the frog looked similar. Maybe she was too embarrassed to see how wrong she was.

There was a rare tent sighting at the campsite today. Punchy the cat was inside, but I did not invite him to move in.

Saharah was also in town, and I paid her for some new wallpaper and carpeting. She put in a bathhouse wall and a basement floor.

And of course, the highlight of my day was the fact that Elise was all packed up and ready to move out of town! She called me a good friend, which is pretty laughable.

False. So long, monkey!

It’s the 2nd Friday of the month, and that means one thing: Friday Night Forest! I opened my gate at 10 p.m.; Beth arrived first, and we were talking about Hippeux’s name. So when Beth asked what my town tune was from, I used some alternate spelling of my own.

After a few minutes, Merka also arrived. We hung out and chatted for a bit, and then I suggested a trip to the island. On my way down to the dock, I spotted Merka on the ledge.

However, she went on BRB to eat lunch. In an attempt to save time, I tried pushing her down to the dock. It wasn’t going well; it was really hard work! I wish I could have just picked her up and carried her! 😛 And the worst part is, about ten minutes later, I realized I was pushing her the wrong way! 😮

Fortunately, she returned shortly after that, and we headed out to the island. We started with a gardening tour, and it ended up being a bit more challenging than we anticipated!

We also went on locust-catching and balloon-popping tours, earning silver on the former and gold on the latter.

We then went out onto the island for some fishing, bug-catching, and diving. I didn’t do any diving myself, but Merka did. And somehow, she glitched, so that she was standing in the water!

To get free, she had to put her wet suit on, and then she dove into the ocean! It was like she jumped off of a dock! But that allowed her to swim back onto shore.

After we returned to the mainland and I sold a couple of my catches, we went glitching. We did the usual: We started at the tracks, ran over to the bridge, glitched off the bridge, and then glitched again into the void. I was the first to make it there, and Merka followed just behind.

After Merka and I watered each other repeatedly, I started exploring under Forest. Merka accidentally unglitched herself, but then she re-glitched into void all before Beth could get there the first time! 😛 Beth eventually did get into the void, but she didn’t last long. She fell into a pitfall that I had planted for my visitors earlier in the night.

She was back on solid ground, and she asked where I was at. I found the nearest landmark and told her I was by the (wind) turbine. So she came over to see me. Well, actually she couldn’t see me, but I could see her.

I was done exploring under the town, so I asked her to dig a hole for me to be born into.

I dug a hole for Merka, so baby Merka was also born on the beach.

She didn’t look very happy when she came out.

Merka had to go, so I went ahead and ended the session for the night. It was fun, though. Thanks for coming, Beth and Merka!

At the Dream Suite, Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Mayounna from Amy Rose–thanks for visiting! Have a good weekend everyone, and I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow.
