Day 5 – Meeting Tortimer

I started up the game this evening to see my newly upgraded house.

My newly upgraded house, as seen from the outside.In the mail, I got a letter from Isabelle with a paw-print wall attached. I went inside my house to check everything out.  Of course, it’s nice to be able to rotate the camera to look at your house from any angle.

The inside of my newly expanded house, including the paw-print wall that Isabelle sent me.I then went back outside to talk to some neighbors and take a walk. Aurora told me that Tex and Yuka spend a lot of time arguing, and then making up.

Aurora: They seem to spend a lot of time arguing with each other and then making up.And Yuka asked me to catch a snail for her.

Yuka: They're everywhere, but I just can't net one for myself. What's wrong with me, Jeff?Then, I went to meet and greet my newest neighbor Fuchsia. She’s a deer.

Fuchsia: Whoa! A visitor already? Pleased to meet ya! I'm Fuchsia! I just moved here!But then she called me “girlfriend.” EXCUSE ME?

Fuchsia: You should come over again once I'm all settled in. See you then, OK? Girlfriend!That’s not the way to make a good first impression.

After stopping by Rory’s house for a quick hello, I headed to the beach. I met an old friend there, Tortimer!

Tortimer: ...Say now? What did I want to see you about?He told me that he lives on a tropical island now, where it’s summer every day. He said he told the person in charge (that would be Kapp’n) to start making stops at Forest starting tomorrow. So I’ll get to visit the island tomorrow! Sweet!

Tortimer: I already told the person in charge to start making stops in this town starting tomorrow!After catching a few fish, I then returned up the ramp. Gabi asked me to make a delivery to Yuka, who was standing about five feet away. You can see her in this picture.

Gabi: Hey, can I ask a favor? I bought a present for Yuka, but I'm too busy to take it over there.So I walked over to Yuka and gave her the present. She thanked me and gave me a rugby shirt.

Yuka: That style could really suit you. It's a rugby shirt!After that, I made a stop at the museum. After donating some new fish, I sat to watch a few of them swim by.

Sitting and watching some fish go by in the aquarium section of the museum.I then went over to Nookling Junction to buy today’s fortune cookie. I got fortune #5, which I redeemed for some hero’s pants. Next, I went to the Able Sisters where they had a Makar’s Mask! I bought it.

I got a new leaf.

Back in town, Aurora came up to me and gave me a jade plaid tee, for absolutely free. You didn’t have to do that, Aurora. You were already my favorite.

Aurora: I hope you like your new jade plaid tee, b-b-baby!Gabi was nearby, so I talked to her. She was itchy, so I decided to help her out by catching the flea that was on her.

Gabi: Ewww! Did you just find a flea on me?! Yuck-yuck-yuck!

Gabi: I swear I bathe all the time!
Sure you do, Gabi.

Yuka came up to me and said she heard I was a freshman mayor.

Yuka: As far as rumors go, that's not half bad. I've certainly been called worse.And after talking to all of my villagers tonight (and paying Reese to take my garbage), my approval rating finally reached 100%!

Isabelle: According to a recent citizen survey, your approval rating is 100 percent! Wow!Unfortunately, it will still take at least a day to be approved for my town development permit.

Isabelle: The approval process will take one day at the very least, but it could take up to a few days.That’s all for today, but check back tomorrow as I visit the island. With any luck, I’ll have my development permit too.
