New Year’s Eve

When I started up the game tonight, I saw that Resetti’s manhole was open once again.

The manhole leading to the Resetti Surveillance Center.I went down to check things out, and Resetti and Don were once again discussing the voice recognition system. Resetti warned me not to press the button and say “scramble” or even “crumble.” But of course, I gave it a try regardless. After a couple tries, it registered a “scramble” and Resetti took off! I don’t think he was happy about it. Too bad, so sad.

Resetti: SCRAMBLE!His…seat(?)…left flaming tire tracks (a la Back to the Future) as it screeched away.

Resetti: SCRAMBLE!Don confirmed the obvious: The test was successful.

Don: The test was successful.I spoke with Big Top, and he told me he was excited for the New Year’s Eve countdown. But he said he wasn’t sure he could stay up until midnight.

Big Top: Tonight's the countdown! I'm really excited! But I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay up until midnight!
Listen punk, this is a night owl town, so you’re staying up.

Octavian said the new year was making him want a fresh start. He said he was going to move out of town on January 5th, but I quickly talked him out of that.

Octavian: I think I'll get a fresh start on things and move to a new town!At the event plaza, Isabelle was standing out in the cold by the big countdown clock…that she apparently made herself!

Isabelle: Take a look over there! I worked really hard to put that together for the countdown tonight!She asked me to join in the festivities and she gave me some sparkling cider for the occasion.

Isabelle: You can't ring in the new year without sparkling cider, am I right?Crazy Redd also had a stand set up. This year, he was selling party poppers, yellow New Year’s hats, and blue New Year’s hats…all for 300 bells each. I bought a few party poppers and a blue New Year’s hat, which I put on.

Me wearing a blue New Year's hat.I built a new snowman, and his eyes rolled a number 38. That gave me a double ding. In other words, I’m one number away from a bingo in two different directions.

Snowman: DOUBLE DING!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Mollie from Wildside was my most recent dream visitor.

Around 11:30, I changed into my tuxedo and opened my gate. I noticed that the outdoor animals were now wearing hats for the occasion.

Agent S: Today's the Countdown celebration! Time to live it up like the rock star I am, up a tree!Madisyn was online, and I told her my gate was open if she wanted to drop by to bring in 2015 in my time zone. She said she might come, but she never did. So I just celebrated with Isabelle and Kabuki at the plaza once midnight rolled around. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year! I hope this year is filled with fun and friendship for you all!I also fired off my party poppers…when I wasn’t busy accidentally talking to Kabuki.

Firing a party popper.Firing a party popper.I also drank my sparkling cider.

Me drinking some sparkling cider.Kabuki wished me a happy stinkin’ new year. Thanks…I think.

Kabuki: Happy stinkin' New Year! Hope it's a good one for you! Meooo-OH!After that, I looked up to the sky to watch the fireworks for a few minutes.

The New Year's Eve fireworks.I hope you all have a happy and healthy 2015! And a big thank you to everyone who reads this blog regularly, I appreciate it. Have a great 2015, everyone! 🙂
