Rolf Goes Camping

I started out my day on a pleasant note…by pitfalling Tabby. 😀

Tabby stuck in a pitfall.She was furious at me. 🙂

Tabby: AAAAAAACCCCCKKKK! Not cool, everyone! I'm, like, really furious with you right now!Over at the campsite, there was a tent set up. Naturally, I went inside to see who was visiting. It turned out to be Rolf, who is one of my favorite animals in the game! I played a few of his games, and eventually he mentioned the possibility of moving in!

Rolf: You know, this town wouldn't be a bad place to settle down...I told him he should indeed move in, and he agreed! Awesome! I’m having really good luck with campers so far. First Molly, and now Rolf.

Rolf: Oh! You really think so? If you do, I think I'll just go ahead and do that!A bit later, I took some peaches up to Shrunk at Club LOL. He taught me the “glee” emotion, where your character whistles/sings and the music note comes up.

Using the glee emotion in Club LOL.That’s a nice emotion to have, but I still need shock or disbelief! Hopefully I’ll get one of them soon.

Over at T.I.Y., K.K. Ballad was on sale. I snatched it up.

Tommy: Ah, K.K. Ballad! A fine item, yes?And over at the Able Sisters’ shop, there was a lion-dance mask for sale. This should be good for frightening some people. Although Tabby might just think she’s looking into a mirror.

Labelle: Oh, wow! That iconic look is very nice on you!Later, I was shaking some trees when I disturbed some bees! I had no choice but to run into town hall to escape them. But while I was there, I tried out some emotions on Isabelle. When I did one of the angry emotions, Isabelle got so scared. Her reaction seems to be saying “Oh no, what did I do???”

Isabelle is surprised and scared after I use some angry emotions near her.

TIY Grand Opening

Today, Big Top approached me and told me he’s going to be moving out of town.

Big Top: I know it's sudden, but I'm leaving on the 30th of this month! It's been nice hanging with you, J dog!However, I was able to change his mind.

Big Top: Owwww! The pulling hurts! OK, OK, OK, OK! I give up!I started my walk around town, looking for my fossils and money rock. A couple minutes later, I saw Big Top again. This time, he said he heard a rumor that I’m a deep diver??

Big Top: I heard a rumor about you! Everyone's saying you're kind of a deep diver!I made my way to The Roost and I worked a shift. My job there is starting to get harder; the customers aren’t even telling me what they want any more. They just say they want “the usual.” Ugh. I have started to keep a text file to keep track of what’s right and wrong, but it’s going to take a while before I learn how everyone likes their coffee. As for today, I struck out big time.

Molly: This coffee isn't what I asked for. Maybe my order got switched with someone else's?And for the first time, Isabelle herself came in for a cup of coffee.

Isabelle: I'd like to order a cup of coffee, if you don't mind!My assistant is probably wondering why the mayor needs to be working a second job at a coffee shop that pays me in beans. Oh well. I         ed up her order too. Brewster wasn’t happy.

Brewster: ...Your heart just wasn't in the coffee today... After that, I walked up to Main Street. There’s a new store in town, T.I.Y.!

The outside of T.I.Y. (TIY).Obviously it’s a parody of D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself), but what does T.I.Y. stand for? Tickle it yourself? Anyway, I went inside to check it out. T.I.Y. has not been in previous Animal Crossing games, so I wanted to see what it was like.

Tommy: Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to the grand opening of T.I.Y.! Come on in!Other than a new layout, it’s not all that different. But there is something new: the ability to buy K.K. songs!

Tommy: Ah, K.K. Bossa! A fine item, yes?I know I had some readers ask me about buying K.K. songs before at Super T&T. You can’t buy them at Super T&T, but you can buy them once the store upgrades to T.I.Y.

Another interesting feature is that the garden shop got absorbed into T.I.Y. as well. I guess that’s to make it more like the real D.I.Y.

Leif: Timmy and Tommy said they were going to make their shop bigger, so I had them include me too.And Leif told me that he now can provide a weed-pulling service. That’s not something I’m going to need, but I know a lot of you will probably love this feature if you time travel or go long periods without playing the game.

Leif: Oh yes, I've also decided to start up a weed-pulling service.After that, I decided to open my gate for a little bit. Wendy came over to visit… and then someone else tried to come in, but we got disconnected. I reopened and Wendy came back, but the other person didn’t. Wendy brought me all the types of fruit I didn’t have yet. So I went around town planting them all. Along the way, I found a special tree stump; this one had a butterfly and a piece of bread on it.

Finding a tree stump with a butterfly pattern on it.Mushrooms will grow around special stumps, so I’m going to leave this stump like this, at least for a while. Wendy and I each sat on a stump, and then we amused ourselves by spinning around on them.

Me and Wendy sitting and spinning on tree stumps.After I was finished planting all the fruit trees, we took a trip to the island for a little bug-catching and fishing. Me and Wendy, both wearing Majora's Masks, ride Kapp'n's boat out to the island.While there, I caught a new bug (a giant stag). I also caught three sharks (two regular ones and one whale shark) that I later sold for a nice chunk of change. Around 11:40, we returned to shore and I ended the session.

I have now completed my Animal Crossing New Leaf Hair Guide! It tells how to get the hair style and color that you want, along with pictures of each. It includes the exact wording of the English language version too, so I think you’ll find it to be the best hair guide out there! I hope you’ll check it out and bookmark it so you’ll be all set once you get your character to a Shampoodle salon!

Visiting Reggie’s House

Tonight, I saw Fuchsia and she asked me for a peach. Forest has millions of peaches, peaches for free, so I obliged. She gobbled it down and gave me a lovely carpet as thanks.

Fuchsia: Mmmm-mmmmm!I also saw Saharah in town. For 3,000 bells, she gave me a new carpet and wallpaper.

Saharah: It is done! Done like the past! Tomorrow is here!So I went inside to see what she gave me.

The modern wood wall and sporty floor that Saharah installed in my house.She installed a modern wood wall and a sporty floor. The wall goes with my sofa, but I’m not quite enjoying the look of this floor/wall combination.

Back outside, Katt told me a package for Molly arrived at her house by mistake (shame on you, Pete). She asked if I would deliver it to Molly, and I agreed. Once I found her, she opened up the package. It was a lite polka shirt she had ordered. To thank me, she gave me an ironing set. Is this her way of telling me my clothes are wrinkled?

Molly: It's an ironing set! I hope you make good use of it!Soon after leaving Molly, I ran into another of my favorite villagers, Aurora. However, she wanted to start calling me “dearie” as a nickname! No thanks!

Aurora: Ummm... How about "dearie"?Next, I headed up to Main Street. The Nooklets’ shop is undergoing construction, as expected.

A big blue tarp covering the Nookings' shop as it gets upgraded.The Able Sisters had a beak for sale, and I was in a beak-wearing kind of mood, so I bought it. After I was done with my shopping, I decided to make one last stop at the Happy Homes Academy. Reggie from Nintendo was there, via SpotPass.

Reggie: I'm Reggie from Nirvana. My home is over at West 11. My body is ready!So I got to tour Reggie’s house! It was pretty loaded, so I’m pretty sure Reggie is a cheater. 😉 This was his Nintendo room:

The Mario room in the SpotPass home belonging to Reggie from Nirvana.I then went back to his gym/exercise room.

The kitchen in the SpotPass home belonging to Reggie from Nirvana.On the other side of the house is Reggie’s bedroom. I’m sorry, but that bedspread is just creepy.

Reggie's face appears on the bedspread in the SpotPass home belonging to Reggie from Nirvana.I also went into his game room, which looks like a fun place to hang out. Anyone for a game of ping pong?

The prices will be 20% higher than what you would normally pay, but it gives you extra opportunities to shop for new items. I ordered a glass display case from the Nintendo room…

Glass display case: 2,400 bells.…and the neon sign from the exercise room.

Neon sign: 2,880 bells.That’s all for today. By the way, my hair guide is 99% completed. Look for it tomorrow!
