Big Top’s Day

Last Friday, Lolly asked me to dig up her time capsule.

Lolly: Umm, do you remember that time capsule I had you bury? I think it'd be fun to open it now.

So I dug it back up and took it to her. There was a green tie-dye tank inside, along with a letter that she wrote herself. She thanked me for returning it, and she gave me a regal lamp for my trouble.

On Monday, Lolly asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I agreed, and I had ten minutes to find her, Boots, and Bones.

Lolly: All right, I'll go over the rules just in case!

The first one I found was Boots. He was trying to hide behind the Sphinx, but he was standing behind the front paws…which provide absolutely no cover at all. 😀

Next, I found Lolly behind a house. And wouldn’t you know it, Bones was the last one standing. How fitting; I always have trouble finding Bones! I eventually found him down on the beach.

Lolly presented me with a boxing barricade for winning the game.

After the game, I ran into Jack. He prepped me for the Halloween festivities on the 31st, telling me how it all works. Of course, I already knew the details. He also gave me a werewolf hood.

Jack: Hee hee hee! I am the mighty czar of Halloween, Jack!

When I put the day’s money into the bank, my balance reached 110 million bells.

Your current balance is 110,000,000 bells.

Today (October 3rd) is Big Top’s birthday. I gave him a dharma as a present. He didn’t seem thrilled with it, but he later said it was awesome (even though I could tell he didn’t mean it). Vivian was also at his party to help him celebrate.

Vivian: Well, it's Big Top's special day, so let's get this party started!

Big Top couldn’t wait to get his trunk into that cake.

Big Top: I can't wait to get at that birthday cake, up my nose!

Back outside, Bones told me he was obsessed with getting a flea. That’s probably the opposite of most dogs.

Bones: I've been kind of obsessed with getting a flea lately, lamb.

He offered me his whole life savings–70 bells–for one that I caught off of Lolly. I went ahead and sold it to him; I sure didn’t have a need for it.

And last but not least, I delivered a leftover wet suit to Onyx.

Onyx: Hi!

My recent dream visitors have been Saul from Sunville, Megan from Lavender, Celine from Bluebell, Dish from Knife, Dean from Range, and Rose from Viridian. Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you next time!

  1. Are you using a New 3DS, or do you actually have an older model? My original 3DS just died, but the reason I used it for so long rather than “upgrade” is because I heard (and especially now without Miiverse) that it’s difficult to get pictures off of it and onto a PC due to where they put the SD card. Clearly you’re still able to upload images; that’s why I asked.

    1. I’m using a New 3DS XL. Although it would be a pain if you physically remove the micro SD card each time, there is an easier, wireless option to transfer files to a PC. See this link for more info.

  2. oooh… you have 110,000,000 bells! that’s very good! i’ve been playing since day 1 and I only have 2 million bells from harvesting pears (my rare town fruit) and selling sharks… or i would have if my friend hadn’t lost my game card… now I have 1 million 🙁

  3. I’m sure it’s been asked before, but will you be doing a blog on the Animal Crossing Switch Game when it is released? I know there have been pretty much no details of the game announced yet but I’d love to see a blog of it when it does come out!
