Mortar Wall & Saving Nan

Saharah was in town today, looking for old wallpaper. Static was the first villager I asked about it, and surprisingly, he had some for me.

Static: Old wallpaper? Yeah, you're right on time. I just took some down.In fact, three of the first four villagers I asked had some for me (Nan and Tank were the others that helped out). But those three were the only three. Still, that was enough to get a rare wallpaper, so I took them back to Saharah. She gave me a mortar wall in return.

Saharah: Here...a mortar wall. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.The good news is that the mortar wall was a wallpaper that I still needed for my catalog checklist. Not that I care much about completing my catalog any more, but still, I’ll take it. The bad news is that the wallpaper didn’t look like anything special.

He wasn’t talking about fossils or gyroids, but he suggested there’s something bigger underground. Very interesting… I wonder what Nintendo had in mind here. How about an underground mine to dig for ore?

Poncho: We got fossils, gyroids, garbage... But I got a hunch there's something BIGGER down there!I picked a few dandelion puffs, and took them over to the alien landing site. The aliens’ tractor beams abducted the flying puffs and took them up into the sky! Or maybe it was just the wind.

Even though she’s not my favorite animal, I really didn’t want her to leave this soon. Maybe she grew on me a bit when she lived in my New Leaf town in 2014. So I talked her into staying.

Nan: What's wrong with me?! The answer is so obvious! I'm going to stay, kid!

July Bugs & A Recycled Fossil

Now that July is here, all summer bugs are out in full force. So I grabbed my net and went bug-hunting last night. But I forgot that it’s not always safe to walk around with my net out. I encountered my first tarantula of the year, and I did not win the battle.

Jeff passes out after being attacked by a tarantula in Animal Crossing: City Folk.Animal Crossing: New Leaf has the island, which is great for bug-catching, but not as many bugs seem to appear in town. City Folk has lots of tree beetles on summer nights, so I still prefer bug-hunting in ACCF. I caught quite a few bugs last night, including this elephant beetle on the peninsula.

I caught an elephant beetle! The heavyweight champion!Unfortunately, I was finding lots of Miyama stags and dynastid beetles, and not as many of the more valuable beetles. But still, I enjoyed my bug hunt and I earned 44,000 bells in the process.

I played again today (early in the evening). To my surprise, I found a parasaur skull in the recycle bin at town hall! It’s not very often you find a fossil in there! But what makes this even more interesting, is that a parasaur skull is the same fossil I found in Wild World on Wednesday, which completed my fossil exhibit in that game!

A parasaur skull I found in the recycle bin in ACCF.Over on the bridge, I stopped to enjoy the sunset. What a pretty time of day.

A Crop Circle Appears!

Last night, I noticed a new house in the same spot where Savannah recently lived. So I went inside to meet my new neighbor, and it was Tangy the cat.

Tangy: Oh! Hiya! I'm Tangy!Her eyes were so big, you’d think she was just freshly squeezed. She definitely looked juiced.

Today, Wendell was in town. I gave him an eel that I caught last week.

Wendell: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! Th-thank you! Good food!The starving artist promptly slurped it down.

That is the last of the four patterns that I needed to make my mystery circle! Well, it’s probably better known as a crop circle. I placed one over by the museum, although I’m not sure if this will be its permanent (or only) location just yet.

My crop circle in Animal Crossing: City Folk, made from Wendell's mystery circle patterns.I (accidentally) found out that you can also use the crop circle patterns to make a letter “S” or even just some wavy snake-like designs around town.

Being the great friend that Kitty is, she hopes they never get it sorted out. Because she enjoys seeing them throw pecan pie at each other!

Kitty: It's fun to see them throw pecan pie at each other, so I hope they never get it sorted out!I went inside Able Sisters to get a couple of designs out of storage. Since it’s summer now, I put two bikinis on display for my animal villagers! One is a star bikini and the other is rainbow-colored. I don’t know who created these bikini designs, since they were given to me by friends who got them from other friends. But I hope my animals start wearing them soon. It’s pretty funny when you see a male villager wearing something like this. 😀

My current pattern slots as of June 30, 2017: Four mystery circle designs, two bikinis, my green brick path, and my UFO pattern.Static asked me to make a delivery to Poncho, so I did. He told me he was glad it finally arrived…and then he told me to punch him. So I did.

Poncho: Whoa, from Static? Sweet...it's finally here! Punch me!I started looking around for Static…and then I remembered he was in his house today. 😛 When I told him I made the delivery, he rewarded me with a tartan rug.
