Even though I didn’t watch the New Year’s countdown at the lake, I did start the game up about 20 minutes into the new year. I got a goodbye letter from Grizzly.
I then headed over to the lake, where the celebration was still going on.
Static, Tom, Kody, and Robin were there. (All blue animals?)
And of course Tortimer was there as well.
On my way back, I ran into Wisp. He asked me to find his five spirits.
Even though there is some festive music that plays at the lake, the music away from the celebration is even better. It’s a soothing rendition of Auld Lang Syne. So I hunted for spirits while listening to some cool music…not a bad way to start out 2013.
Along the way, I met Rocco, my new neighbor.
After three trips around town, I had only found four of the five spirits I needed. I didn’t really need my weeds pulled, since I already had perfect town status, so I just gave up the search. I then released the four little spirits into the night.
Happy new year, everyone!
