There was a new SpotPass home in the Happy Homes Showcase today that Nintendo sent out. It belongs to Bill from Cascadia. His house was really nice; I particularly liked this space-themed room. The astro furniture looks really good in black.
In another room, he had some really cool polka dot furniture. And I know that sounds like a joke, but it wasn’t really polka-dotted. It had been modified (perhaps with emeralds?) and it was green and shiny and metallic. Unfortunately, I was unable to order it.
But the best room in Bill’s house was definitely this Zelda-themed room.
Back in town, Big Top was telling me to support his petition for National Juice-Box Day. I was happy to help him out with it. This petition’s gonna be off the hook!
I went in my house for a bit, and Molly decided to come in. She said she saw a fish that reminded her of me!
That’s pretty insulting! It felt like a dab in the dace…or I mean, a slap in the face! I was tempted to snap back at her, but I decided not to take the bait. I wanted to kick her out and send her seaward, but she wouldn’t leave until she was good and ready.
Eventually she did leave, and I went back outside. I found a pink rose over by my wind turbine. The pink roses actually look pink in New Leaf; in City Folk, they looked almost white. To me, at least.
I then headed up to Main Street. There was a hologram machine on sale at T.I.Y.; I wanted to see what it did, so I bought it.
And unfortunately, I spotted Katie in town. Ugh.
Since I had Katie, a petition that needed to be signed by out-of-towners, and a dozen perfect peaches to sell, I asked Wendy to open her gate. She did, but on my way, Katie refused to go to Oakville with me! I guess because she came from Oakville in the first place, she didn’t want to go back there again. Katie is so annoying. Anyway, I started asking Wendy’s residents for signatures.
Angus told me I should just move to Oakville.
I ended up getting all of my signatures that I needed. But if you remember my villager Rory, he must have loved Oakville too, because he moved there. I made sure to say hello to him while I was there.
After that, Wendy and I headed back to Forest. It seems that a new Nookling is working for the Able Sisters. Her name must be Wable.
But then I found out she’s actually Tom Nook’s wife. Here is the happy couple in Nook Homes.
Anyway, I took the completed petition back to Big Top. I like juice!
He gave me a water cooler as a reward. I went into my house to look at it and the hologram machine. Princess Leia popped up and told me to oil R2-D2 every 3,000 miles.
As I began my walk around town, I soon spotted Tabby. She asked me for a new greeting. So I had her say “hurt me plenty.”
I had a gem rock today, and it gave me two gold nuggets. I also had one in storage, so I took the three of them to Cyrus to have them made into golden furniture.
Back outside, Teddy asked me about Wendy. He said the next time I hang out with her, the three of us should lift weights together. Awkward…
I went up to Main Street and saw Gabi again. GO AWAY! I think I need to get a restraining order.
And when I talked to Benedict, he suggested a new public works project: A pile of pipes…
Town hall was closed, so I couldn’t get a picture of it. But it sounds really exciting.
I let him use the garbage can in my house to dispose of them without having to pay Reese. He also showed me how fountain fireworks can be buried in the ground without igniting. Because if you just set one on the ground, it will automatically go off. After that, I went to see Isabelle to get my new bopper for this week. She gave me a flower bopper.
We went to my house and I remembered that Nook expanded my back room. It’s not so cramped in there any more.
I joked that the flower bopper made me look a bit like a Pikmin.
Tom left after a little while, but Wendy and I went to the bridge to watch the fireworks. I’ve always thought bridges make great places to watch the sky in Animal Crossing games.
After watching them for a while, we decided to go out to the island.
The island had hide-and-seek tours again! So we played several of them. Even though we successfully completed all the tours we did, we probably need to come up with a better strategy so we’re not covering the same areas.
But one other cool thing about the hide-and-seek tours is that the towns have public works projects. I had to stop at the Moai statue for a picture. I knew the tours took place on an island, but I didn’t know it was Easter Island!
But then I saw the Sphinx. Now I’m all sorts of confused. Maybe we’re all in Las Vegas.
After doing four hide-and-seek tours, we returned home and I ended the party. I later returned to Re-Tail to get my golden furniture back from Cyrus. This time, he made me a golden bench.
That’s all for today, but I’ll be back with more tomorrow!
And today was the Bug-Off competition. I hunted for some good bugs, and I ultimately caught a golden stag that was good for 102 points.
Nat took it and gave me a firefly lamp as a reward.
My bug held on to the stop spot and won the competition for me. So after 6:00, I went in Nat’s tent for the awards ceremony. Teddy won second place and Big Top got third.
After the ceremony, the animals around town will congratulate you. That’s a nice touch.
And here is a look at my firefly lamp and gold bug trophy:
Later on, I went to watch K.K. perform a song. Out of habit (from City Folk), I went to the museum by mistake. Then I remembered he plays at Club LOL now. I asked for a random song and he played me K.K. Oasis.
By the way, I’m still seeing Harry and Gabi on Main Street (or in stores) pretty much every day. At this point, it’s no longer considered a visit. They’re clearly homeless and have become bums on the streets of Forest. I need to talk to Copper about these trouble-makers. But even though I’m sure he’ll agree they’re as suspicious as darkness, I doubt he will do anything about them.
