In today’s mail, I got a goodbye letter from Gabi (who moved out this morning), and also this letter from “Momz.” She attached a blue tie-dye shirt, which I put on.
Just outside my house, I spotted two rocks next to each other. Each day, there will be a a rock that isn’t normally there. I like to think of it as a fake rock. When you hit it with your shovel, the rock shatters to reveal a gem. This one contained an amethyst, which is worth 2,000 bells.
I saw my next-door neighbor Big Top, who reminded me that Aurora is sick.
So I headed up to Main Street so that I could buy her some medicine. While there, I saw the new supermarket, Super T&T.
Timmy informed me that this store has a place for items that can be hung on walls. Nice! Today’s wall item was an astro clock. A digital clock for your house that hangs on your wall? Pretty cool!
As for the other shop in progress, it was still under construction for a second day. So I headed back to town and gave Aurora her medicine.
After going outside, I spotted an animal I wasn’t expecting. It was Phineas! I didn’t even recognize him without his balloons. In New Leaf, he apparently hands out badges that mark certain achievements. He gave me the Fish Maniac badge, which shows that I’ve caught many types of fish. I’m not sure if there’s any real point to it or not, but I’ll take it.
In the river, I spotted a bug that kept going underwater. It was a tricky little bugger, but after a few minutes of trying, I finally caught it. It’s a diving beetle.
When I was over by the town tree, Katt asked to come over to my house right away.
I reluctantly agreed, so I led the way home. Once inside, she would comment on some items (namely my metal guitar), but never asked to buy anything. After a few minutes, I was tired of her creeping around my house, so I went out the door to end her visit.
Back outside, I ran into Fuchsia. She asked if I should get some sleep soon. It was only 5:00 pm! This isn’t the first time she has acted like it was later than it really was. Sorry, girlfriend, this is a Night Owl town now. Get used to it.
After collecting my fossils for the day, I headed back up to Main Street. All of my fossils were ones the museum already had. That’s fine, because it means more bells for me. I went into Club LOL and gave Shrunk three peaches, and he taught me the curiosity (question mark) emotion. That’s one of my favorites, so it’s good to have.
When I went into Re-Tail, Yuka was in there, looking at the mango I had put up for sale. She asked me if the price was fair. I’m the one selling it, so what do you think I’m going to say?
Next stop? The island! I took the boat over, and the shop there finally had the black wet suit I wanted! Sweet!
But I also did some fishing while I was there. I caught my first Napoleonfish!
When I was done, I returned to town and put my wet suit on. Time to swim! In the northeast part of town, I have a small, private beach! You can only get to it by swimming in the ocean, and only people with wet suits can swim.
I swam the whole length of the ocean. I even snuck up on Kapp’n!
When I was done playing in the water, I sold the rest of my fish. And I had enough to pay off the museum renovation! It will be done tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by, and please check back tomorrow for another update!
So by using the best friend feature, you can control who can come in your town. Although most of the time I open my gate, I’ll be allowing anyone on my roster, this allows me to plan private parties as well. This is a great feature to have!
While on Main Street, I headed into Club LOL to give Shrunk a snack. I gave him three peaches, and he taught me the sadness emotion. Sadness was not a rare emotion in City Folk, so I’m not so sure about my theory now (about multiple fruit getting rare emotions). Oh well. At any rate, sadness is a good emotion to have.
I then stopped in the post office to check for new DLC.
That’s right, the first DLC item is now available–a rainbow screen! Don’t worry, it’ll still be available when the game comes out later this month.
But before heading home to look at the rainbow screen, I finished my shopping run. As expected, T&T Mart is being remodeled. So that means no fortune cookies today. Aww, and I was hungry too…
But that’s not the only construction on Main Street today! Something new is going up next to the Able Sisters. I think it’s going to be Kicks, the shoe shop.
I then returned home. Let’s take a look at that rainbow screen!
It’s somewhat transparent for a screen, so you might not want to go behind it to change your clothes. But the rainbow screen looks nice, and it goes good with my wallpaper.
And speaking of moving animals, I went to visit Gabi…for the last time. Today is her last day in town. How sad……… jk 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
After finding three fossils, I went to the museum to have them identified. But oddly, Blathers was using the thought emotion. There was an option to ask him what was wrong, so I did. He said that even though the museum is starting to fill up, it’s still not getting the attendance he was hoping for. So he wants to use the second floor of the museum (which currently isn’t being used) for an exhibit where the residents of Forest can display their own collections!
He said he already talked to Isabelle, and it will now be one of the options for a new community project. I think I will indeed make this the next project.
I just need to buy her some medicine. But wait! I can’t! The little Nooklings’ store is closed today! Uh-oh! Now the question is, should I hope she’s still sick tomorrow so I can buy her medicine so she doesn’t think I ignored her? That sounds awful, I know! Hopefully she will forgive me.
After that, I tried out a tip I got from TheAnimaldude55. He told me that when you’re on the boat to the island, if you click the touch screen a few times, Kapp’n will stop his song and just get straight to the island. It’s a helpful time saver, although Kapp’n does seem to get a bit offended.
And while on the island, I caught my first regular shark.
And just a general note about this blog. If you ever want to bookmark or link to a specific day’s blog entry, use the dated link at the end of the blog entry. If you want to look through other days’ entries, use the calendar in the sidebar.
I also saw Big Top, and he asked me if he smelled good. Uh, I guess so? He said it was because he was using a shampoo that smells like cheesecake. At any rate, he was happy.
Then today, I got a letter in the mail from Gulliver. Even though he was mostly talking about Hollywood, the gift he sent me had nothing to do with movies. It was the Statue of Liberty. It’s nice to see Lady Liberty back in Animal Crossing, after skipping City Folk.
And on the bulletin board, Timmy and Tommy posted a notice that the T&T Mart will be closed for remodeling tomorrow.
And the campsite didn’t sit unused for very long after all! There was a summer camper in a tent there today! I must say the tents looked better on GameCube though.
The camper inside was a cute duck named Molly inside.
She asked if I wanted her to move into Forest, and I told her yes. So she suggested we play a game to decide. If I got her question correct, she would move in. If I got it wrong, she would take the peaches in my pocket instead.
Her question involved her using emotions. She said in a certain game, if you knock things down, you’ll feel like this…and then she did a happy emotion. And if you miss, you’ll feel like this…and she did a sad emotion. The correct answer was clearly bowling, so she’s going to be moving in! She’ll soon be a villager instead of just a camper. 🙂
Shortly after leaving her tent, I saw yet another tent in town! But this one was Crazy Redd’s. I inspected his four pieces of art (two paintings and two statues). I felt like the paintings were fakes, but I wasn’t sure which statue was the correct one. Ultimately, I decided on the beautiful statue.
I’ll find out tomorrow if I made the right choice or not.
After digging up four fossils, I went to Main Street for my shopping run. T&T Mart had a cheese wall for sale, and I bought it.
I then headed over to Re-Tail to sell some stuff and I got quite a surprise when I walked in the door. Cyrus, the blue alpaca who had been asleep all month, was finally awake!
He asked if I was bothering his wife. Wife? I thought Reese was his mother! She talked about him as if he was a kid. Oh well. I had him all wrong. In fact, he’s a pretty big jerk. A jealous, threatening jerk.
But he isn’t completely useless; he can customize furniture for you. He can change paint colors, redo upholstery, and put patterns onto furniture. I had a cabin low table in my pockets, so I thought I’d put him to work on putting a JVGS pattern onto it. Basically, I just wanted to test it out.
I had to wait half an hour for him to finish the job (knowing him, he probably needed time to nap). But when I returned, I got the table back and this is how it looks:
After going back outside, I ran into Fuchsia. I hadn’t talked to her yet today, so I said hello. She asked me for a fresh peach to eat, so I found her one. In return, she gave me a brown pot from her pot stash… That was an interesting choice of words.
With that, I finished my night in Forest.
