Smells Like You

On Sunday, Cherry asked to visit my house. Since I’m desperately trying to earn her photo, I agreed to let her come over…even though I had to schedule the visit 40+ minutes ahead of time. Oof. But I was there on time, and she checked out my house…even if she did say my house smelled like me.

Cherry: Mmmmmm! This place is starting to smell just like you!
That “mmmmmm” seems soooooo sarcastic. 😛

I showed her every room, and she eventually left without giving me a gift.

On Monday, I spotted my first snow flurries of the season!

It's snowing in Forest!

Inkwell told me that I could warm up by running a marathon. 😛

Inkwell: On cold days like this, warm up by running a marathon! But don't stop or you'll freeze, in ink!

Yeah, I guess that would warm me up, but there’s got to be an easier way than that, right? 😆 Like maybe putting on a coat?

Last night, the Reset Surveillance Center was open…so I dropped in for a visit. Don warned me to leave before something goes wrong. That was rather ominous. 😛

Don: You should probably head home before something goes wrong.
Are you threatening me?

Today, I cleaned up a ton of unwanted flowers around town. Wondering why? It’s because I decided to update my dream town for the first time in months! Luna informed me that 5,489 people have visited my dream (post-update, that is).

Luna: Records state the number of clients who have experienced a dream about Forest is 5,489.

She also informed me that William from Insomnia was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

Back in town, Rolf surprised me with a gift: an arctic-camo shirt. His whole body is basically artic-camo. 😛

And before I wrapped up my game for the night, Cherry asked me for a bagworm. I went around town twice, shaking every non-fruit tree I could find. Eventually, I caught one. But Cherry only gave me a shirt for my trouble (a jagged tank).

Cherry: Thanks so much! I'm gonna start secretly calling you Creature Wrangler for this!
Let’s hope it’s very secretly.
I guess it’s better than Worm Wrangler.

See you all next time!

Harvest Fest Fail

Last Wednesday (November 16th), Saharah was in town. I hired her, and she followed me home.

Saharah: I tell this to the Nook man. He ask me to leave.
Don’t ever change, Saharah.

I paid her 3,000 bells, and she installed a backyard fence and a sidewalk in my main room. They’re both nice, but they’re not really a good fit for this room.

When I visited Cherry, she said she thought my arrival was some kind of daring nighttime raid! Oddly enough, she actually looked disappointed that it wasn’t. 😆

Cherry: ...Man, I thought this was some kind of daring nighttime raid or some crazy thing like that. What what!

She then randomly blurted out that she loves potatoes. Cherry is one odd puppy. 😉

Cherry: This has nothing to do with anything, but...I love potatoes! I could eat 'em every day!

The harvest festival was held yesterday, and I had a chat with Franklin over at the event plaza.

Franklin: Hm? You need something from me...? Oh!

He wanted to whip up some fruit salad, so he asked me to collect the ingredients for him. Even though finding the fruit was no problem, I still needed to obtain some vinegar. But right as I started to ask villagers about ingredients, the harvest festival ended!

The Harvest Festival has come to an end! You all made amazing dishes. Good job!

It’s annoying that it ends at 10 p.m. in this game, which is too early for me. Not only am I more of a night owl, but I had already participated in two other Animal Crossing games earlier in the evening. Something similar happened last year, but at least I got to make two dishes then. This year, I completed no dishes at all in this game. 😛

However, Cherry didn’t seem to notice that there was no food to eat. She even called the event a huge success!

Cherry: The Forest Harvest Festival was a huge success this year!
Please don’t lie right to my face. 😛

On the other hand, Lolly seemed to understand the reality of what happened.

Lolly: I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get to try any of Franklin's cooking, but I still had a great time.

When I put some money into my bank account today, my balance reached 123.44 million bells. So I decided to scrounge up a bit more money, just so I could do this:

Your current balance is 123,456,789 bells.
I couldn’t resist.

According to Luna, Elfo from Fae Land was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day! I’ll be back with another entry before the end of the month. 🙂
