So far, I’ve added two people as “best friends,” Chris and Wendy. And late last night, I tested out the best friend chat with Wendy. You can message your best friends, even if you’re in separate towns.
And today, I got a letter in the mail from Gulliver. He was in Germany, and he sent me a nutcracker. Ouch.
After putting it in my Gulliver/balloon furniture exhibit room at the museum, I went to Club LOL to get a new emotion. This time, Shrunk taught me the pride emotion.
I then returned to town, where I met up with Rory. He suggested I should build a brick bridge! So that was added to the list of available projects.
Benedict asked me for a peach. That was an easy task, so I quickly got one for him. He wolfed it down, and then thanked me by giving me a cardboard box. Gee, thanks.
And then, at long last, I ran into Saharah! I saw her once before, but it was when I was still living in a tent. She had a strict “no homeless” policy (my words, not hers), so she couldn’t do anything for me. But now that I had a house, she could. She charged me 3,000 bells and followed me to my house. After we went inside, she promptly kicked me out.
So I waited outside until she came out and told me she was done.
Uh, okay?
Well okay then. I then went inside to rule my renewed palace.
Um… this is her idea of a palace? A citrus carpet and a manor wall? I don’t think either of these are rare items, so I think I just got ripped off.
Anyway, I decided I would try taking my astro clock to Cyrus over at Re-Tail to see what he could do to customize it. It displays the time in 24-hour (military) time, and I was hoping it could be adjusted to regular time. Unfortunately, it can’t; but Cyrus could change the color of the clock. So I decided to go with blue and black–JVGS colors.
After that, I headed up to Main Street again. At Super T&T, I got an Arwing from my fortune cookie. And I saw an apple TV for sale…but it’s not called that any more. Now it’s called a juicy-apple TV. Maybe now it’ll show informercials for juicers! Exciting!
The area around the Able Sisters was still under construction for a second day, so I still don’t have the salon yet. And with that, I wrapped up my day, at least for now. I’ll have to get my clock back from Cyrus either later tonight or tomorrow.
Benedict was out in the rain, talking about eating creamed corn. I guess that makes sense.
Katt was also outside. When I spoke to her, she gave me a free rock guitar, no questions asked.
And then I saw someone I hoped to never see again: Katie.
The whole “lost kitten” routine from City Folk was something I really hated. It was novel the first time, but when Katie kept appearing week after week, I began to detest her. I didn’t want to have to do that routine again in New Leaf. And thankfully, she said that this time, she’s not lost! She said she’s on an adventure, traveling to different towns on her own. What a relief!
But that feeling of relief didn’t last long, because she still asked me to take her to another town!
I wasn’t planning on using Wi-Fi today, so I brushed her off. It’s good that she doesn’t need to go to a specific town in New Leaf (like she did in City Folk), but her presence still annoys me.
After finding my fossils and money rock, I headed up to Main Street. I gave Shrunk a cherry and he taught me the showmanship emotion.
And on the other side of the shopping district, I saw some new construction around the Able Sisters! Oooh, I think this means I’m getting Shampoodle soon!
I quit playing at that point, but I returned later on. I found Gulliver on the beach, and he’s going to send me an item from Germany tomorrow. I’ll be back with more then.
In the top-left corner of Forest, I saw a dig spot. There’s where I had buried Big Top’s time capsule, but the “X” spot wasn’t there the last time I looked. I wasn’t sure if this was something else, or if it meant the time capsule was ready to be unearthed. But I dug it up, and it was indeed the time capsule. It had a letter and an item inside–a vertigo shirt. But I got the feeling I wasn’t supposed to have done that… So I returned to Big Top.
He didn’t seem bothered that I dug it up. However…
Oh. Crap. I definitely wasn’t supposed to open it myself. And elephants never forget. Sorry, Big Top. I hope this hasn’t hurt our friendship permanently. I talked to him again to see if there was an option to give him the vertigo shirt; there wasn’t. However, he offered to give me a garbage pail for it.
Even though I wasn’t in the mood for jokes, I headed over to Club LOL. But that worked out fine, because Shrunk’s jokes aren’t funny. He did however, teach me the laughter emotion. It’s the most useful of all emotions, in my opinion, so I’m glad to have it.
Back in town, Tex offered me a wistful painting! Of course he wanted 7,056 bells for it, but that’s worth it if it’s a real painting!
I took it to the museum and donated it. It was indeed real!
Wendy’s house is right by the cliff overlooking the ocean. She wanted to see me jump off from there into the water, so I did.
And we both showed off our frogs that we caught earlier.
After I was done looking around her town, we headed over to Forest. I opened my gate and Wendy came over, as did Dash. We went into Kicks, and I was having a little too much fun with my sneezing emotion. It makes juicy sneezes!
Next, we headed over to Club LOL for some dancing. Nick also came over to visit, so he joined in too.
At one point, I was jokingly telling K.K. “more steam!” and right on cue, more steam came out.
After we were done, we went to my house for a bit. Dash called me outside. He was trying to pitfall me, but I didn’t fall for it. He did catch a blue Pikmin named Nick, though.
Before long, we went out to the island. Everyone got their rental wet suits on and we went swimming. At one point, Wendy and Dash kept getting stung by jellyfish. It was pretty funny.
And Nick pointed out that he was a blue Pikmin, swimming. (Blue Pikmin are the only ones that don’t drown in water).
This was my first time doing this game, and it was pretty fun.
We smacked it 202 times.
And our last event of the night was a dragonfly-catching tour, which Wendy won.
After everyone collected their island catches from the basket and sold what they needed to sell, I ended the party. I definitely had a good time tonight.
