Today I got a letter from Gulliver, who is currently in the Netherlands. He sent me this Kinderdijk windmill as a gift. And yes, it spins.
I saw on the town bulletin board that Club LOL was now open! I wasn’t expecting that, since I didn’t notice seeing any construction up yesterday. And the Dream Suite is also done today! Here’s a picture of the two new attractions.
I went inside Club LOL first. Shrunk was there, and he thanked me for the help in making his club a reality.
He said that he’s retired from comedy now, but he still feels the urge to get back on stage and start telling jokes sometimes.
As you probably know, his “jokes” are just excuses to teach you emotions. And if you give him a piece of fruit to eat, he will perform one joke for you. I had a cherry in my pocket, so I gave him that and he performed his “greetings” routine.
After he was done, he gave me a joke book that I can use to record his jokes. It’s really just a new icon that shows up on the bottom screen. Clicking it will take you to your emotions, which you can use at any time. So I now have the “greetings” emotion, so I tested it out.
Apparently, I can go back each day for another joke/emotion. The live music portion of the club doesn’t start until 8:00 p.m., so for now, I headed over to the Dream Suite next door. I met Luna, who told me how the dreams work.
You sleep on the bed, and in your dreams, you can visit other towns. The human mayor won’t be actively playing of course, but you will see a dream version of them walking around. You can choose towns by region or you can enter a dream code to enter a specific town. There’s also an option to let Luna pick a town for you, but this option didn’t seem to be working yet. Probably because there aren’t many towns in the database yet, since the game isn’t out yet.
But I listed towns by region and chose to go to a town called Saria. So I got on the bed and Luna turned down the lights…
And then she started counting sheep for me…
I fell asleep…and then woke up. I was in Saria.
A fountain was nearby, with some flowers around it. It looked really nice.
Because this is a dream, nothing you do will have a lasting effect on the town. You can borrow tools from a gyroid, but I don’t see much point to it since nothing you find or catch can be taken back to the real world. So what can you do? You can explore, you can go into homes for decorating ideas, and you can talk to the villagers. For example, I met Lopez, who was well aware that this was a dream.
I also met an unusual-looking yellow rabbit named Mira.
Another note about the dream world; you can’t shop.
Once I was done exploring, I returned to the bed by the town tree. I was ready to wake up.
That was an interesting adventure. But my day was not over yet! I then returned to Club LOL to watch K.K. perform!
At one point, I noticed K.K. had a picture of me, as well as my town logo, on the screen in the background. How did he get those?
Shrunk was in the corner dancing (or trying to). He told me to dance by pressing the different directions on the control pad. So I danced!
It was pretty fun, actually. I imagine it will be even more fun with a group of friends. Once I was done, I headed over to T&T Mart. One of my fortune cookies was good for a blue Pikmin! It matches my shirt!
I then returned to town and went into town hall. Isabelle told me about the ceremony to celebrate the opening of the Dream Suite. Sure, why not?
And I talked to Yuka, who told me she was proud of her legs!
Well they’re a little blue and furry. It turned out she was talking about how fast she can run. She was bragging about being the fastest koala in Forest. Well I wish she would use those fast legs to run right out of town.
That wraps up my day in Forest. But Nintendo has put out a new episode of their Inside the Treehouse series. It’s episode 4, and it’s about house customization. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet:
