It’s DLC time again, so Pete met me outside my door to deliver the new item from Nintendo. This time, it’s a creepy crystal.

The creepy crystal is a crystal ball like a fortune teller uses…so Katrina isn’t the only one in Animal Crossing that has one now. When you press the A button, a skull face appears in the ball.

Later, I went back outside to check on my flowers. To my dismay, it turns out that the monthly charm rewards only last one day, not the rest of the month as I had mistakenly assumed. Very disappointing. So I had to go back to watering my flowers.

I heard someone fall into a pitfall seed somewhere, and a bit later, I saw a depressed Bob.

Speaking of pitfall seeds, I had some fun with pitfalls of my own after I was done watering flowers. I had experimented with this the other night, but now that I had enough pitfall seeds (thanks to Megan), I put my plan into motion. After watching the title screen sequence, I noticed there is a path that Jambette usually follows. So I planted pitfall seeds along that path.

I then saved and quit my game. Why? Because my plan involved making her fall on the title screen! To see how it turned out, you’ll have to watch this video:

I took the bus to the city to check the new emotions. I decided to get delight again as my “happy” emotion. Delight is the clapping one.

I returned to Forest to water my flowers. But there were no wilted flowers today, and I’m pretty sure it didn’t rain yesterday. But Megan told me there was a charm reward if I planted a tree in her town, and I did that last night. I’m hoping the reward was the non-wilting flowers one. That would be hugely awesome for someone with as many flowers as me to be able to go the rest of the month without watering! I’ll keep you posted to see if that is indeed the case.

Update: The monthly charm rewards only last one day, unfortunately.

But moving right along, I spotted a scorpion near the river. I backed up, got my net out, and crept towards it. It was hiding behind a tree and I wasn’t quite sure if it was still there or not. But I got close to where I thought I saw something, swung my net, and caught it.

I went into The Roost and had a cup of coffee next to Phyllis. For some reason, it wouldn’t let me save the pictures I took of her talking to me. I tried about five times, and none of them would save.

Avery approached me and said he wanted to move out of Forest (already?!). I told him not to go, and he decided to stay.

Rowan asked me what I thought of him. I told him he rules. He liked that.

I figured I’d do a little bug-hunting before I ended my game for the night. I decided I’d go from Nook’s, down to the right end of the beach, then left across the entire beach and back to Nook’s again. If I earned less than 20,000 bells in that span, I would stop there.

So I made the trip and ended up with over 21,000 bells. I gave the trip another try, and again I made over 21,000 bells. My third trip wasn’t as lucky; I only caught three dynastid beetles which netted me a total of only 4,050 bells. So I called it a night. But on my last beach walk, I did talk to Del. He asked me for a new greeting, so I gave him one.

Today, Saharah was in my town, looking for old carpets.

Around 10:05, I opened my gate. Megan, Yann, and Bushido Ness came over to visit. Megan, as always, displayed her…unique…fashion sense.

I continued asking my villagers for old carpets, without any luck. I looked at my map to see which villagers I hadn’t asked yet and I saw something shocking. Even though today was Friday the 13th, I’m not superstitious. I’m not even a little stitious. (Yes, I stole that joke from The Office).

But then, I saw something horrifying. Frightening. It was…Jambette.

Jambette is, without a doubt, the worst villager in Animal Crossing history. She makes Rhonda look innocent. She makes Yuka look friendly. And she even makes Elise look tolerable. She would make Jorge’s ugly collection of villagers look like a decent group of animals.

I met Jambette in a friend’s town a few years ago and I hoped this day would never come. And to think I let Mint leave town for this thing? I’ve made a huge mistake.

Once that ordeal was over with, I went back outside. Trying to forget that traumatic experience, I continued asking my animals for old carpet. Nobody had any. Not even one.

I noticed Anabelle’s tail almost looked like a beak coming out of the Pac-Man ghost’s face on the shirt she was wearing. It reminded me of Buck’s tail as seen in ACCF Wi-Fi Moments #32.

At the stroke of midnight, Cinderella Ness had to leave to catch a carriage ride home. 😀 The three of us remaining continued to catch bugs and fish until Nook closed at 1 a.m.  I ended up with around 150,000 bells on the night. Even after Nook closed, we still continued to catch more; we just can’t sell them until tomorrow. We also acted crazy and did weird things, as usual.

Then we stood on a bridge, telling jokes and puns.

Shortly after 2:00, Brian came over to visit. So my town was full once again. He actually looked a lot like Jorge; he had the same hair style and color (green) that Jorge has worn before. We hung out, talked, and caught more fish and bugs.

Around 3:00, I decided to end the party. But before I did, we all posed for a picture with some of our catches. It’s not very often I still have a full house at 3 a.m., but it was a fun night in Forest.
