April Fools’ Day 2017

Late last night, Vivian told me she was good at dusting. That was one of her April Fools’ Day hints.

Vivian: Did you know that I'm better than anyone else in Forest at dusting?
Crop dusting or regular?

I’m sure you know by now that I sell ore at the flea market section in Re-Tail for inflated prices. But for days when I don’t have as many gems, I’ve started putting fossils for sale as well. Just whatever the default selling price is, just multiply it by 4 and subtract 1 bell for the maximum selling price (but never more than 9,999). I’m glad my villagers don’t know any better. 😉

Rolf: Were you the one who put the plesio skull here?! Hmmm. I'm kind of tempted...
Plesio just buy it!

Today is April 1st, and many regular trees around town will be pink. It’s a very pretty time of year.

Several pink trees near the Roost.Over at the event plaza, I found Blanca, the cat without a face.

Blanca: Yep, yep! It's April Fools' Day, the day of pranks and tricksters!If you’re not familiar with the April Fools’ Day event, I’ll sum it up for you: In one house at a time, a villager will have a clone that’s really Blanca in disguise. You are given a towel, and you have to give it to one of the two, based on their answers to questions.

The one you suspect will then wipe his/her face with the towel. If you’ve correctly chosen Blanca, the face will wipe off. The real villager will thank you for knowing, and then give you his/her villager picture.

Blanca first appeared in Rolf’s house.

Two Rolfs (one of which is really Blanca in disguise), mad at each other on April Fools' Day in ACNL.I correctly figured out which was the fake Rolf, and Blanca’s blank face was revealed.

Blanca: I'm the fake one! That's a bummer! You figured out it was me! I was sure my disguise was perfect!So Rolf gave me his picture, and Blanca went on to clone another one of my villagers. That turned out to be Camofrog, and unfortunately, I didn’t have any hints for him. So I had to guess. One wanted to be a lawyer, and the other wanted to be a pilot. I handed the towel to the pilot, and it was the real Camofrog. Oops.

Camofrog: But I'm the real deal!
The camouflage master has met his match.

But things improved from there. Vivian’s hint from last night helped me get her picture, and most of the others I knew already.

Vivian, to Blanca: How dare you dress up like me without express written consent!

But the last villager of the night, Rodeo, was a wild card; I didn’t have any clues for him. I guessed that his favorite quote was “Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,” and I was right. And with that, Blanca said goodbye until next year.

Blanca: I'll be back next year to pull another prank on people, so I'll see you on the next April Fools'!In all, I got 9 out of 10 correct. Three of the pictures I received tonight were new ones: Lily, Vivian, and Rodeo. Here’s a look at each one, along with their favorite quotes.

Thanks to a forum post by AccfSally, I learned that Lion Town is back with a new dream address! It’s 2B00-0046-7AE2 if you’d like to check it out. It’s one of my favorites, so I’m glad to see it has returned.

  1. How many pictures of Rolf do you have now? I remember in the Months/Years in pictures videos you had a LOT of pics of him.

    1. I think I kept four of them, and sold the rest. I’m not keeping any more than that for anyone, since the room would fill up otherwise.

  2. Good thing you decided a few days ago to let Camofrog stay. Otherwise he’d be leaving tomorrow and you wouldn’t have a picture of him! Oops!

      1. I don’t blame you. I’ve gotten pics of every resident ever in my town, but only risked it twice, with Benedict and Naomi. I’ve been thinking of letting Fang, Bangle, and Wade leave, but I waited until I got their pics today.

        I got Ursala’s too for the first time, but she stays, as she’s proven to be beyond awesome (so very opposite of GameCube Ursala) and gets along well with all my Quigley residents.

        Camofrog’s being stubborn. I’ve had a few like that (Benjamin – 6 months, Anabelle – 7 months, Rooney – 9 months). I let them all go after because that ticked me off.
