Visiting Beth’s Town

Today, I saw my former New Leaf villager Benedict in the city. He was wondering where the restaurants were.

Benedict: Where the heck are all the restaurants around here?Beth had invited me over to her town Ai at 2:00, so I headed there. I noticed that she had lots of axes in her house…

A room that had many golden axes on the floor.I couldn’t help but wonder if she was planning on doing some Animal Chopping.

Her friend Andy, who also comments on my blogs from time to time, joined in too.

Beth, Andy, and Jeff near the gate.I buried a pitfall seed behind a tree and placed some verbal bait: “This tree looks funny.” Andy came over to investigate first, but he missed the pitfall. Beth wasn’t as lucky.

Beth, dressed as Pikachu, struggles to get out of a pitfall.Andy suggested posing for a picture. I just stood there, but that could count as a pose, right?

Posing for a picture with Beth and Andy.As you may know, when you use the delight emotion (applauding) while holding a tool, only one hand will clap–it looks like you’re hitting your stomach. But considering I was wearing the New Year’s 2014 shirt with the horse on it, it looked like I was beating a dead horse.

Jeff 'beats a dead horse' as he hits the horse on his shirt.Around 2:45, I left and returned home to Forest. I actually didn’t resume my game until later tonight when I went to visit K.K. at The Roost. I asked him for a random song and he played K.K. Lullaby for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Lullaby.When I circled back around to my house, I saw that I had mail. It was from Mott, a lion I met in Beth’s town. He was telling me about how he didn’t shower today. I don’t know why he needed to point that out…

Jeff! 'Sup from Ai! It's me, Mott! I'll tell you now, but that day you came over, I hadn't showered. Was I all smelly? Talk to you later! WOO! --MottI finished up watering my flowers and then ended my game for the night. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!

Too Many Ducks!

The other day, I met my newest villager, Pompom.

Pompom: Oh! Hiya! I'm Pompom!Great. Just what I needed, another duck. That’s three of them now: Pompom, Pate, and Miranda. And I don’t particularly care for any of them. And other than Miranda, who lived in Forest years ago, I don’t really know them all that well. So when Lily asked me if I noticed Pate and Pompom were close, my response was “Who?”

Lily: Pate is so close to Pompom. Have you ever noticed that?I’ve been putting much more time into New Leaf than City Folk, and it feels like I don’t even know many of my ACCF villagers very well. Of course it doesn’t help that my long-time, favorite villagers have mostly skipped town.

Anyway, I watered my flowers tonight since there was no snow. Nate was out, talking about how a dung beetle sounded so good that he wants to eat one!

Nate: A dung beetle sounds PRET-ty good!I think he likes the dung more than the beetle. He then tried to say that he was just impersonating Nat, the Bug-Off host. Yeah, right. Nice try, Nate.

Saharah’s Desert

The other night, Elmer was singing the town tune from his previous town Village. But the reason I took this picture is Octavian’s face in the background. I guess he’s not a fan.

Elmer: Whenever I hear this tune, I just gotta dance, gotta dance, gotta daaaaance!A message posted on the bulletin board announced that Miranda’s six-incher won the fishing tournament.

*The Tourney Results* Congratulations on your victory at the big 1/18 pond smelt tourney, Miranda! Your 6-incher won it!Saharah was in town tonight, looking for old carpeting.

Saharah: I came from far away. I wish to trade carpets. It is for carpets that I came to your town today.So I began asking my villagers for carpeting as I made my way around town. I saw a snowball on the ground, so I turned into a human dung beetle and pushed it into the river. Generally, I don’t bother making snowmen in City Folk any more, and I can’t resist the desire to destroy the snowballs in one way or another.

Pushing a snowball into the river.I was up on the cliff when I saw the other snowball. I pushed it to the edge and, to my surprise, Lily was right underneath me. The snowball literally hit her in the head and then bounced to the left! I wish I had been recording a video!

A snowball bounces to the left after bouncing off of Lily's head.Anyway, I finished asking all nine of my villagers for old carpet, and Nate was the only one who gave me some.

Nate: Well... Sure, OK! Since I can't eat it, I might as well give it to you.However, I had two of them in storage. So I was able to take them all to Saharah and she gave me Saharah’s desert. It actually looks pretty good, so I’m going to hang onto it.
