Tribal Mask, My Bridge, and a New Development

Today, I got a letter in the mail from Gulliver. He told me he’s in Kenya, and he sent me this tribal mask. Unfortunately, letters in ACNL show up on the bottom screen, so you can’t take pictures of them with the in-game camera. But here is a look at the tribal mask:

The tribal mask I got from Gulliver in Kenya, on display in my house.And there was a message on the bulletin board saying that my cobblestone bridge was complete!

Bulletin board: Thanks to everyone's generosity, Forest has finally completed the much anticipated new cobblestone bridge!So of course, I had to go take a look at it. This bridge connects my house (in the northwest part of town) to the town hall (in the southwest part of town). So it’s much easier to get to my place of employment. This is my second bridge; I can actually add one more, which I would likely put at the eastern side of town. But that’s not a priority, so that can wait a bit.

My new cobblestone bridge.I headed over to town hall, and Isabelle told me she arranged a little celebration to commemorate the new bridge. So, back to the bridge I went. But then she demanded a speech! speech! speech! from me. I was not prepared for this! Is it too soon for me to retire from public life? Or maybe I should demand on the recount of the election votes. They’ll see I didn’t have a single vote, so I shouldn’t be mayor and won’t have to give this speech!

Isabelle: First up, we have an incredibly short speech from our very own mayor!But fortunately, the speech was actually just a multiple-choice, one sentence phrase. I can do this! After I finished my sentence speech, Isabelle told everyone to GO! She was actually telling them to fire off the party poppers she gave them ahead of time. Yay!

Firing off party poppers at the completion ceremony for the cobblestone bridge.With that project completed, I was able to start another one. I chose to put a face-cutout standee near the train tracks. This will be a fun one that future Wi-Fi visitors will probably enjoy. It’s also cheaper than the bridge, so it shouldn’t take too long to fund.

Isabelle: To help us gather donations to fund the face-cutout standee is our helpful town gyroid, Lloid!A bit later, Rory offered to trade me a karaoke system for my blue-stripe tee.  Even though I still liked my shirt, I decided a shirt for furniture was a good deal, so I agreed to the trade.

Rory: I'll trade karaoke system on my team. Blue-stripe tee on your team comes over to me.After that, Big Top had an unusual request for me. He asked me to bury a time capsule somewhere in town. I buried it in the northwest corner of town. I’m not sure what this is all about, but I suppose I’ll find out sooner or later.

Big Top: Oh, brain-flash time! Maybe you could bury it for me! What do you say, Jeff?And it was raining in Forest today, but nothing can dampen Aurora’s spirits.

Aurora: Good morning, Jeff. Rain can be so gloomy sometimes. But it does freshen the air.She asked me to buy an A shirt for 444 bells. I wasn’t about to turn her down.

Me wearing an A shirt in the rain.On Main Street, there is a new development…literally. Nook Homes is in the process of building something new! Could it be Club LOL? I hope so! I’m guessing I’ll find out tomorrow!

A blue tarp covers a new development on Main Street! What could it be?I didn’t make a trip to the island today, but I did shake a few trees. One of them had a bee! Oh no! My first instinct was to run, of course. But then I thought, I’ll need to catch a bee at some point, so I might as well at least give it a try. So I whipped out my net, waited for the bee to come at me, and swung….. I GOT IT! Awesome!

I caught a bee! Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!Later on, I went to meet my newest neighbor, Katt. Oh my, what have I done to deserve animals like this?

Katt: So, uh, you're Jeff, right? I knew it! Yeah, I couldn't wait to move here after hearing about you!I was in the Re-Tail store later, as was Yuka. She wanted to buy a bed that was on sale and she asked my opinion. I told her she shouldn’t buy it. It was so cheap, that there must be something wrong with it. 😉 Or maybe I just wanted her to suffer and sleep on the floor. *heh heh horf*

Yuka: Yeah, you're right. This is either a mistake...or there's something wrong with the item. I'll pass.My last stop of the evening was the museum. I donated my bee and three fossils I found today. Good news! The triceratops is complete!

A complete triceratops in the Forest museum.That’s all for tonight, but check back tomorrow for all of the latest developments!
