Hometown Hero

It’s really starting to feel like winter in Forest. Not only does snow cover the ground and trees now, but tonight I spotted the northern lights for the first time this season.

An aurora (the northern lights) appear over Re-Tail in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

The fishing tournament was held today, and I played too late to participate…or even to see the winners’ ceremony. However, I saw on the bulletin board that Agent S was the winner, while Hornsby finished 2nd and Boots was 3rd.

Lately I’ve been forcing myself to buy some items at the Nooklings’ shop (on the rare occasions when the shop is actually open when I play). And that has paid off, because tonight, Lolly told me I’m a hometown hero!

Lolly: I hear you're a bit of a hometown hero, chap.
Now that’s a label I’m happy with.

Apparently, I wasn’t spending enough of my money before, and that contributed to me being called a bell-pincher. I used to think the bell-pincher reputation was about not buying things from villagers. And maybe that still plays a part in it, I’m not sure. But buying from your villagers alone is not enough to shake the bell-pincher label. So if you’re having trouble with that, go shopping.

Today’s snowballs were both near the event plaza, so I rolled them up and made my first snowmam of the winter.

Snowmam: Well, how do you do? My, you're quite the craftsperson, aren't you? You made me so beautiful!

However, I didn’t make her perfectly. So she demanded five snowflakes (instead of three) for ice furniture.

At Club LOL, K.K. Slider performed the unseasonable Spring Blossoms for me, Velma, and Julian.

When I visited Rolf, he informed me that he wanted a doll for Toy Day!

Rolf: I thought I'd ask Jingle for a doll this year for Toy Day!
Rolf: What? Don't gimme that look!

With that new information and a couple other clues, here is my updated list of Toy Day hints:

  • Agent S: yellow wallpaper
  • Big Top: something orange
  • Boots: electronics
  • Hornsby: something green
  • Lolly: blue umbrella
  • Rolf: green doll

My recent dream visitors include Rainia from Brill and Gek from BeviTown. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great night and weekend!

  1. Bell-pincher?! That made me chuckle.

    I read your blog when I can through my RSS Reader, then come here to comment if I want. I haven’t played for so long. Was wondering if these entries are from the Switch game or the DS?

  2. My funniest clue in my town is from Curt, who wants pink food, which translates into peaches. That is funny because MY NATIVE FRUIT IS PEACHES.

  3. Hey Jeff, Cube was in an igloo in my town and Tammy moved out recently, so I decided to let Cube move in. Do you think he’s a good villager?

    1. My dream address for Forest is 5D00-000F-7611. If you visit, help yourself to some ice cream and sparkling cider near the town tree. Enjoy your visit!
