Frankly I’m Disappointed

I went looking for Joan this morning to buy turnips. Along the way, I found something unexpected: a house plot. Frank will be moving in tomorrow.

This spot reserved for Frank's new home. -Nook's HomesTia just moved out, so I was looking forward to having a little freedom to ask a camper to move in, if I chose to. Now that option is out the window. I’m not sure if Frank is from a friend’s town or from a StreetPass, but I should find out tomorrow. The only good thing is that his house is in a good spot. It’s almost exactly in the same spot as Tia’s house, just shifted to the right by one square.

Anyway, I eventually tracked down Joan. She was telling turnips for 109 bells today, which I believe is as high as they can be. I bought 1,100 of them.

Joan: So 1,100 turnips comes out to be 119,900 bells altogether. Do you wanna buy them?Later, I was trying to put my turnips in storage when Molly barged in.

Molly pops in for a visit.Fortunately, she left pretty quickly after I sat down and ignored her. Later on, Ryan came over to get petition signatures for Kid Cat.

Ryan and Jeff standing in the park.Naturally, he was able to get Big Top and Agent S to support the cause of their fellow superhero.

Jeff: Heroes unite!Once he got his signatures, I ended the party. Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Just from Tectown was my most recent dream visitor. I checked out the Happy Homes Showcase and I had three visitors there. One of them was Ian, and he gave me a bubble wand.

My new bubble wand from Ian.One of the StreetPass homes had a cosmos fan, which is a piece of the Weeding Day furniture. It’s pretty cool.

A cosmos fan.I went out to my island, and the gift shop there had an orange wet suit today! I think that’s the first time I’ve seen the orange wet suit for sale.

Grams: Aye. An orange wet suit. Ye be needin' one if ye wanna swim in the sea!Kim came over to buy one of them, and later Jessica came over to buy a princess chair that was on sale at GracieGrace.

Jessica shops at GracieGrace.

Visiting Tomville & Charvale

Tia is now officially a former resident of Forest. I got her goodbye letter in the mail today; her picture was also attached.

Tia's goodbye letter.It was a sunny day in Forest, and Rolf was making bad jokes about the weather. That’s my job, pal.

Rolf: How about this weather, huh? It's like the sun's taken a...shine...to us! You get it? Tiger!I found a lost item, and I had to speak to eight different villagers before I found its owner. It was a comic book that belonged to Big Top. After I gave it back to him. he thanked me by giving me a bamboo shoot.

Big Top: "Fountain Pen Man" issue #9 is a total collector's item! It's good to have it back!Up at my Dream Suite, I updated my dream town. While I was there, Luna told me that Sumi from Drodaira was my most recent dream visitor.

I saw Tom online for the first time in a long time, and he invited me over to his town. He showed me a glitch involving the instrument shelter. If you’re holding a shovel when you go up to check it, you’ll put your shovel away…only to bring it back out before the weather status pops up!

Checking the instrument shelter with my shovel out.While I was in Tom’s town, his friends Colby and Alexis also came over to visit.

A visitor arrives.Kabuki was camping at Tom’s campsite. I wouldn’t mind if he showed up in mine!

Kabuki: This is the first time I've ever been here. It's not a bad little town! You agree, right?Tom invited us to watch some performances from K.K., so I headed up to Club LOL. Tom and Alexis were already in mid-song, so I ran around and used a bunch of emotions as they were enjoying the show.

I sat down for the next song, and this time Tom was up and running around.

Tom using emotions in front of K.K.After that, Alexis had to go, so Tom ended the party.

My turnips were getting ready to expire, and everyone I asked had turnip prices between 40 and 68 (including me). But Skye saved the day (and my turnips) with her 211-bell prices. So I headed over to her town Charvale.

Visiting Skye in Charvale.Her town is looking really nice.

Paths leading up to the fountain.I made my way down to Re-Tail and Reese paid me 253,200 bells for my turnips.

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 253,200 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?Skye has Bob as a villager, so I went in to say hello to him.

Bob: Awesome! I made friends with someone from another town!But then things started to get a little weird.

Bob: Sometimes I like to flush the toilet and just stare into the bowl. It's kind of relaxing.Soon after that, I returned home and ended my game for the afternoon. But when night came around, I picked it back up to watch a performance at Club LOL. K.K. performed K.K. Fusion for me.

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called K.K. Fusion.

Tia’s Goodbye

As you may have noticed, there was no blog entry yesterday. I’ve mentioned before that I will occasionally skip a day when not much is going on, and yesterday was that day. I used the extra time to work on my new Tomodachi Life Blog, so please give that a look if you’re interested.

Anyway, Skye (the wolf) sent me this nebula tee in the mail, so I decided to put it on.

Trying on a nebula tee.Today was Tia’s last day in town, so I went to say goodbye to her.

Tia: I hope that somewhere, someday, we'll meet again, ice cube.I opened the gate briefly so that Patty could come over and adopt her.

Tia: By the way, I decided to make Columbus my new home!Later on, I went to Ash’s town to sell some perfect peaches. I had 17 baskets to sell, and they earned me 459,000 bells. I stopped in Ash’s house to take a look at her gold-plated chess pieces, and wow, they look better than I imagined!

Gold chess pieces.Her whole town was looking great. She doesn’t have a dream address yet, but some day I’d like to make a Dream Suite Adventure of it.

Ash's town.When I returned to Forest, I went on a Main Street shopping run. Luna told me that Raz from Mooch was my most recent dream visitor.

At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. I was shocked when Wendy came over to visit! I hadn’t seen her in a couple months, and she gave me no indications that she might be coming tonight, so it was a big surprise. Rae also came in, followed by another big surprise: Megan. I’ve played a lot of ACCF with Megan, but this is the first time she’s visited me in New Leaf. So it was definitely a surprising group of visitors tonight.

Megan: Jegggggggg!We went to my house and moved from room to room.

Hanging out in my house.Megan was on “brb” for a bit, and the rest of us continued the tour of my house. When we returned to the main room, I found Megan by my trash can. Clearly, she was eating garbage!

Megan eating from the garbage?Around 10:30, Megan had to leave. The rest of us went in my basement, where I sat on my golden throne. Both of them, actually.

Jeff: All done.Gala asked me for some furniture, and when I gave her a customized exotic end table, she gave a portable toilet in return. Thanks a lot.

Gala: Here's my portable toilet! Thank you so much for helping me!Shortly after that, we all got disconnected. I reopened, and Wendy and Rae both returned. Wendy saw something buried on my private beach, so she went to investigate. I told her it was just a pitfall seed that I planted to prevent new ones from appearing, but she had to see for herself. I followed her and ate a little snack while I was there.

Turning into a giant after eating a famous mushroom.A bit later, T. Zelda also came over to visit. Aurora asked me for furniture, so I gave her that same exotic end table (I had it back due to the disconnection). She rewarded me with a fire hydrant as T. Zelda happily looked on.

Aurora: Here's my fire hydrant! Thank you so much for helping me!Wendy and Rae soon left, but Mike and Skye came over to take their spots. We all went out to the island for some tours. We started out with a crab-catching tour that I did awful at.

The four of us after completing a tour.We also went on a balloon-popping tour (with pitfalls), a hammer tour, and a bug-catching tour. Overall they weren’t my favorite tours, and it showed. I got 4th place in crabs, 3rd place in balloons, 2nd place in hammers, and 3rd place in bug-catching. Meanwhile, T. Zelda dominated the night, winning every tour.

Tortimer: T Zelda gets 6 medals, Jeff gets 4 medals.
