I got a Manneken Pis from Gulliver recently, and I put it up for sale at Re-Tail. Yesterday, Agent S couldn’t wait to buy it!

Outside, Lolly couldn’t control her enthusiasm for books.

I was quite surprised to find a new house plot near the Roost. And today, the new villager moved in: Claudia the tiger. Honestly, I’m not very familiar with her. I haven’t seen much of her in the game.

She came over from Merka’s town Muffy. And Merka just informed me that she got my former resident, Bones. I think I lost that trade.

In other news, today is Festivale! That’s the day that Pavé the peacock comes to town, confetti and feathers rain down from the sky, and villagers dress up in silly hats.

Lolly looked particularly cute in her hat.

I said hello to Pavé, and he gave me the whole song and dance.

He wanted me to collect green feathers for him, but I didn’t feel like going through all that. Honestly, Festivale is a bit of a pain. 😛 But I did find a rainbow feather floating around, so I made sure to catch it.

Unlike the regular feathers, you can give Pavé a rainbow feather at any time and receive a piece of Pavé furniture in return. My prize was a Pavé table.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors have been Alexyss from Smolbean, Marcus from Ohio, Lucy from ★★★★☆, and B.D. from Cannton. Thanks for visiting!

Yesterday, Lolly wanted to buy a space shuttle I was carrying. I always agree to everything Lolly asks of me, unless it’s a petition that requires visiting another town.

Tonight, Merka came over for a rare visit. She was collecting signatures for a petition, and I noticed that she was standing quite far from Vivian as they talked.

We traded some fruit, and I gave her a zodiac dog that I had been saving for her since January of last year. She also took a tour of my house, which probably hasn’t changed much since the last time she visited. 😀

There was a meteor shower underway, so we stopped to wish on some shooting stars.

We discussed Animal Crossing Switch, and thought about what we might name our towns. I’ll probably use Forest again, since it’s basically a tradition of mine at this point. But if there’s a way to make a 2nd town, I think I’ll use Aja Blu for it. It’s a name I came up with a few months ago, and I’ve used it for some temporary towns on GameCube.

Merka left to go get some lunch, so I ended the session. I made my rounds, and then just before midnight, I went over to Club LOL. K.K. Slider played K.K. Song for me.

My recent dream visitors have been Oihana from Capitole, Tiffany from PuffPuff, Emma from Fiville, and Temera from Anthos. Lolly also mentioned dreaming of Chloe from Happy.

On Wednesday night, I spotted something unusual: I saw two villagers (Vivian and Rolf) both sitting on a bench at the same time.

Were they on a date? One thing is for sure: They didn’t want to make room for me. 😛

This wasn’t the first time I’ve seen two animals on the bench (case in point), but it does seem to be fairly rare.

Tonight, Agent S asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek.

She gave me ten minutes to find her, Aurora, and Rolf. It took me exactly one minute to find Aurora; she was standing behind Agent S’s house. That’s a pretty standard hiding spot, and it was actually the best hiding spot of the three. That’s because Rolf tried to hide behind the instrument shelter…which is shorter than him.

And Agent S was “hiding” behind the front paw of the Sphinx! Agent S may be short, but she’s not that short!

It took me less than four minutes to find all of them. Agent S gave me my prize for winning the game: a fire hydrant.

During the game, I had actually found a lost item on the ground. Once the game was over, I asked the three participants (and Vivian, who was also nearby) about it, and Rolf admitted it was his bag. His baby shoes were inside!

At Club LOL, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Adventure for me, Peck, and Velma.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors have been Pansy from Bup, Ben from Utopia, Jesse from ABQ, Conwjami from Cappytoe, Msands from Woodbury, and Arl from Suncrest. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day (or night)!
