Month: February 2013

Pascal was in town today, standing on one of my bridges.

I searched the beach and found a scallop to give him. He gave me a ship compass in return before plunging into the cold river. I tested the ship compass out, and indeed, the needle keeps pointing north even when you rotate the compass itself.

I then decided to try out this pattern, made by Green Knight on ACC. MrTobytiger23 suggested I use it after I wasn’t pleased with the last water pattern I tried. As usual, the patterns on ACC are based on the Wild World palettes, so I had to change it up. I also picked a shade that looked more blue and less turquoise; I also removed the fish shadow from the pattern.

This one flows together better, especially horizontally. You can still tell it’s tiled vertically, but this is definitely better than the last one. I quickly copied it onto my path pattern slot to see what it looked like.

That’s not going to be my path long-term, but I don’t mind using it for a week or two.

After I was done, I started up my Bananas town. I got a goodbye letter from Puck. Why do all my penguins keep leaving me? What the Puck am I doing wrong?

I gathered up some fruit and fossils to earn some money, then I put all my money into the bank. Since today is the last day of the month, I’ll earn some interest on it tomorrow. I nearly have 75% of the money I need for my lighthouse.

Winter is over in the world of Animal Crossing. The snow has melted and grass is green once again.

I started to water my flowers and I saw Saharah. Today she was looking for old wallpaper.

In the Able Sisters’ shop, I decided to put my chocolate pattern into my pattern storage. I also put it on display in case any visitors want it.

I saw Anabelle was enjoying coffee at The Roost. So I couldn’t ask her for old wallpaper.

I asked my other eight villagers though, but I wasn’t getting much help.

Del was the only animal who had an old wallpaper for me. But I did have two of them in storage, so I had the three required for a rare wallpaper. Once I tracked down Saharah again, she gave me the meadow vista. Unfortunately, it’s not one that I needed.

Happy spring, everyone!

I got a letter in the mail from Amelia. She moved out today, without warning. She was my third least-favorite villager, so I don’t have a problem with that.

As for the snow on the ground, today is its swan song. It will be gone as of tomorrow.

While talking to Rowan near my house, I witnessed something strange. Do you see the dirt patch on the left in the following picture?

That dirt patch is actually Del’s house. As I was talking to Rowan, Del came out of his house…which was invisible to me from that perspective. So Del just appeared out of thin air. It looked pretty funny; too bad I wasn’t recording a video.

I went into the Able Sisters’ shop and they had a grape hat for sale. Mabel said it would scream “grape!” I’m not so sure that screaming “GRAPE!” is a good idea…

I watered my flowers and then made my way back to town hall. I deposited some money in the bank, and my balance reached 18 million bells.
