It was getting close to 8:00 p.m. when I first started up the game, so I quickly made my way to Club LOL so I could get a new emotion. I gave Shrunk a peach and he taught me the flourish emotion. It’s where you fabulously spin around. And that’s no fallacy.
I then returned to town where I got some good news from Yuka…she’s moving out!
I only have a few more days left with her! And for those of you who like me having a hated rival in town, don’t worry, I still have Katt.
I then decided to do something new…cliff diving! Once you have your wet suit, you can jump off the cliff into the ocean (at least at the part where there’s not a beach underneath). Wheeee!
Cliff diving is so fun! I also noticed that while you’re wearing a wet suit, pressing the A button makes you swim. Even if you’re on land! Your character still does the animation, and it’s pretty funny!
But while I was on the beach, I spotted Gulliver. I woke him up and he gave me his clues, and once again, they were very easy.
But he got a little carried away…
The feeling’s not mutual, sailor man. But I think I’ll be getting an Eiffel tower from him in the mail tomorrow. As I went back up the ramp, I bumped into Big Top. He wanted to trade his big dot shirt for my cityscape wall. No way! Then he called me weird for not wanting to trade! Rude.
After making my rounds and digging up four fossils, I headed back up to Main Street. The museum gift shop had a silver net for sale! Celeste said it’s available because I’ve caught 30 types of bugs so far.
After buying it, I did the rest of my shopping for the day. And I decided to see what would happen if you checked for DLC even if you’ve already received it.
Great. Now Pelly thinks I’m a greedy criminal or something.
Anyway, I paid off more of my house payment and I only owe about 20,000 bells on it now. I’ll probably pay off the rest of it tomorrow. I then put my regular net up for sale at Re-Tail and then I wrapped up my night in Forest. I will be back tomorrow with another update, so I hope to see you all then!
Since I bought the silver shovel from the museum gift shop the other day, I decided to put my regular shovel for sale at Re-Tail. I’ll be opening my New Leaf gate on Sunday around 8pm Eastern U.S. time, and I figured there’s a good chance at least one of my visitors won’t have a shovel yet. So one of them will be able to make use of it, I’m sure.
I recently bought an axe, but I hadn’t used it yet. So I cut down a tree today to try it out. It works. 😛
I also tested out the ability to sit on the tree stump.
That also worked, although I did get some splinters in my butt. Just kidding.
In all, it gave me three amethysts, a sapphire, a ruby, an emerald, a silver nugget, and a gold nugget. Jackpot! Or so I thought. When I sold them, the total came to 19,000 bells. Now that is more than the usual amount of money I get from money rocks (16,100 bells), but it’s not a huge difference.
A bit later, I saw Tex. He asked me for a new catchphrase to replace his current one, “picante.” I know he’s a penguin, but with a name like Tex, he just has to start calling people “cowboy.”
And before I was done playing, I ran into Yuka. She put on a dazzling display of her supreme intelligence.
That’s the end of today’s blog entry, but I have a couple videos for you. The first one is a slideshow I made of many of my pictures taken in my first month with the game:
When I talked to Rory, he asked me to bury a time capsule for him.
I buried it in the northwest corner of town, just one spot to the right of where I buried Big Top’s time capsule early on in the game. I don’t know the details of when these will be unearthed, but I hope the presence of Rory’s time capsule doesn’t mean he’s going to be stuck in Forest for a long time.
I got my solemn painting in the mail from Crazy Redd, so I took it to the museum. My gamble yesterday paid off! It’s a real painting! So I went in to see it; the museum provides some details about the paintings now, such as the title, artist, year, and so on.
While I was in the museum, I decided to go on and “rent” an exhibit room. For now, I think I’ll just put my balloon furniture in it.
Next, I stopped in Club LOL. Shrunk taught me the anger emotion. That’s another good one to have.
In Super T&T, I decided to take a look at the catalog. This month’s DLC, the rainbow screen, is indeed available to be ordered.
Even though DLC could also be ordered in City Folk, it’s good to know that it works the same way in New Leaf as well. But as I browsed through the catalog, I spotted some other good news. For one thing, items are now listed alphabetically! Even though it should be a no-brainer, previous games didn’t do it this way, and it was hard to find a certain item if you didn’t know where it was listed. I’m glad they finally got it right.
Kicks, the shoe shop, is ran by Kicks, the skunk.
He sells shoes and socks in his store. I became his first customer by buying these cleats.
After that, I took some medicine to Aurora, who is still sick. She flipped for it.
And last but not least, I went to visit my newest neighbor, Molly the duck!
She lives a bit south of my house, but still in the northwest part of town…along with me, Aurora, and Big Top. Definitely the cool part of town. Forest is slowly improving in terms of villagers. I still would like to get rid of Yuka, Katt, and Rory, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.
