Day: July 23, 2013

After starting up the game today, I went in to check on my new room. I moved a few pieces of furniture in there to get things started.

After that, I went to the Roost to work a shift and also to drink some coffee.  But for some reason, it had an acidic taste and fruity scent? I don’t know what Brewster is trying to pull, but that is not coffee!

Back outside, Benedict approached me. He wanted to move out. I’m kind of neutral towards Benedict, but it’s been a while since I got a new villager, so I didn’t try to stop him.

There was a summer camper in town, so I went to see who was in the tent. It was Gigi. She said maybe we’ll be neighbors someday. Oh no, we absolutely will not!

I quickly left the tent without playing any games or talking to her any more. I then ran into Katt (oh joy), and to my surprise, she was concerned about the thought that Benedict might be moving!

Aurora asked me a few questions and then determined that I needed cotton candy.

Over by my town tree, Gracie was there again! It’s weird that I went over two months without seeing her at all, and then she shows up twice within eight days. She was expecting a “modern” look for her fashion check. I decided it was time for a shopping run.

But first, a stop at the museum. My ancient statue from Crazy Redd was real!

In Able Sisters, the only “modern” item they had was a jade plaid tee.

It looked like I was out of luck for now. I returned to town, where Molly was also concerned about Benedict.

She told me to go check up on him. Now I feel kind of bad about not stopping him.

I did track him down and talk to him, but he didn’t mention moving again. If he does, I think I’ll tell him to stay after all.

Anyway, I went back to Gracie with my jade plaid tee. I know I didn’t have anything to go with it, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. She called me a hot mess.

I tried beating her with my toy hammer, but it wouldn’t let me! So unfair!

Back up by my fountain, I saw Aurora and Tex. I decided to take a picture of my two penguins: the beautiful female, the horrible male.

I also spotted Phineas walking around, so I went up to him to see what new badge I was getting! He gave me the Backyard Gardener badge, apparently because I have lots of flowers.

I returned to my house, and I was playing my harp upstairs when I got interrupted by Aurora!

She just stopped in to say hello. That was nice of her.

Later on, I asked Wendy if I could go to her town to shop for “modern” clothing. Her Able Sisters didn’t have anything modern, but she let me borrow a blue zap suit to try out. So we headed back to Forest, where Gracie shot me down once again. These fashion checks are seriously annoying, and I’m really not happy about the fact that they’re required to get the final T&T store upgrade. I think it’s going to be a long time before I get that last store.

Anyway, I let Wendy see my new room before I kicked her out ended the party. She pointed out that the outside of my house has changed too! I didn’t even notice that. Although from the outside, it looks like the upstairs got a room on the left, and that’s not the case at all. The new room is on the first floor.

After that, I made a quick solo trip to the island. I’ve been looking for a silver axe, and I’ve been trying to find the hide-and-seek tour again. My island had neither, so I had nothing left to do but trick Leila. Actually it was an accident; I thought I had something worthless to sell her, but I didn’t.

See you tomorrow!
