Today is Festivale!
At 8:00, I opened my gate and Yann came in. About 20 minutes later, Olivia also joined in.
If you don’t know how Festivale works, I’ll explain the basics. That peacock in the picture above is Pavé. He will ask for a certain color of candy: It can be red, green, blue, or yellow. You then have to find the outdoor animals in your town and play games with them.
Tonight, my outdoor animals were Mint, Yuka, Del, Egbert, and Poppy. The games are games of luck, such as rock, paper, scissors.
Another game has you playing soccer (verbally) by choosing left or right in an attempt to block a shot on goal.
If you win a game, you earn a piece of candy. Sometimes you can choose which color you want, but usually you don’t have a choice. If you lose, the animal will take a piece of candy (or 500 bells if you don’t have candy).
When you have three pieces of the color that Pavé wants, you take them to him and he will exchange them for a piece of Pavé furniture. He will then ask for a different color candy and the process repeats. To be honest, Festivale is quite annoying and it’s my least favorite of the five main holidays in City Folk.
While we were playing, we also noticed the Northern Lights in Forest. (They were dim in this picture, but got brighter later on).
I stayed on until about 9:35 and then closed my gate and ended my game. In all, I earned 63,500 bells from Festivale. Here are the rest of the pictures I took tonight.
The sad part is that I actually bought it. Hey, I needed it for my catalog checklist. 😛
In six more days, the snow will be completely gone. I then took a bus to the city to check out the new emotions at the theater. There were no Frillard emotions, so I showed my disinterest in the available options.
Back in town, I continued checking for new hybrids; I had one new black rose today.
I’m too late! She packed up all her belongings into boxes! She didn’t give me much notice (or time) to try to change her mind. This is disappointing.
I talked to Ruby, and she said she wanted to move out. The little alien has grown on me, and I don’t want her to leave, so I told her to stay. She said she still wants to move out. I’ll have to keep talking to her to try to convince her to stay.
I found an empty lamp, which (in theory) means that Wisp should appear later that night. But it was already after 9:00 p.m., and he was nowhere to be found. I’ll have more on this at the end of the blog.
I opened my gate at 10:00. Mike, Phoebe, and Olivia quickly came in and I had a full house. After hanging out in my house, Scott’s house, and some animals’ houses, we had a good old-fashioned net fight.
Soon after, I took a brief mid-air nap. Actually, Phoebe pitfalled me.
Then we spun our umbrellas in the snow for a little bit.
And then things got a little violent.
I didn’t want Mike to feel left out, so I beheaded him as well.
And we all got shocked for some reason.
Phoebe started singing showtunes, and Olivia and I tried to escape to save our virtual eardrums.
I had no choice but to end the party. It was nearly 12:15 by then, so I had over two solid hours with a full house. It was kind of nice to not have everybody clear out after an hour like it used to.
