Probing the Pyramid

I caught a performance from K.K. at Club LOL tonight. I asked him for a sad song and he sang Comrade K.K. for me. Thanks, comrade.

K.K.: Here's a jam that makes the blues seem like old news... Comrade K.K.Sprinkle must be wanting something from me, because she’s laying on the compliments really thick.

Sprinkle: Hip hip hooray to our awesome mayor! Yay!And Octavian gave me a space shuttle, saying I was the lucky winner!

Octavian: Ta-da-aa-hh! You're the lucky winner of my space shuttle! Congrats!But then he admitted he was planning on giving it to the next person he talked to regardless. Oh well, I’ll still take it.

Octavian: Really, I just felt like giving a present to the next person I talked to! I'm kind of crazy like that!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Lauren from the town of Candy was my most recent dream visitor.

Wendy wanted to buy some red hibiscus bushes from my island, so I opened my gate for her. After we returned from the island, she stopped for a little mid-air swimming.

Wendy hover-swimming.She also curiously stopped at my pyramid and asked if Ankha was inside! Even if she was inside, she’s probably a bit wrapped up with other problems. Let’s be honest, not even her mummy could save her now!

Wendy: Ankha? Are you in there?Sorry, but the princess is in another pyramid. Actually, if Ankha is really near any sand, it’s probably just in her litterbox.

While I was playing tonight, I encountered a little problem with my 3DS. I tweeted last weekend that my circle pad had a crack in it, but now that crack has split, and the edges of the rubbery circle pad are starting to come off. The edges occasionally get stuck under the circle pad itself, forcing my character to walk to the left. I think I’m going to have to clip off these loose edges.

Visiting Pawnee

There was no rain today; it was a nice, clear night in Forest.

Clear night sky.Gulliver sent me a Mouth of Truth in the mail from Italy, and it wasn’t long before one of my villagers started asking for it: Aurora wanted it right away.

Aurora: Muffin! Rumor has it you've got yourself a Mouth of Truth.She offered me a racing shirt for it. Even though that’s an awful, unfair trade for me, I went ahead and sealed the deal. I try to be nice to the villagers I like a lot…within reason, of course.

Saharah was in town, and I paid her for some new wallpaper and carpeting. She installed a shoji screen and an opulent rug in my house.

A shoji screen and opulent rug.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that K from Fantasia was my most recent dream visitor.

Wendy told me she had a good turnip price tonight; her Re-Tail was paying 198 bells apiece. So I headed over to Pawnee to sell all my turnips. On the way down to the shop, I saw that Wendy now has a brick bridge that makes it much easier and quicker to get to Re-Tail. Before the bridge, it took approximately 8 hours to get there from the gate. 😛

Wendy's new brick bridge.My first 1,600 turnips sold for a total of 316,800 bells.

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 316,800 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?I had to make another trip to my locker, and my remaining 1,200 turnips scored me another 237,600 bells. That’s a total of 554,400 bells. Very nice! Thanks, Wendy!

I also took a mini-tour of her town Pawnee and it’s really looking great. She’s spent a lot of time fixing her town up, and it really shows. I saw her outdoor garbage can and I just knew it would be perfect for something in particular…

Jeff: For koala disposal! I like!After that, we headed back to Forest so she could shop and buy more bushes on my island. After that, I ended the session for the night. But before I shut the game off, I took my money bags up to the post office and deposited the money into my account. My bank balance topped 19 million bells.

Your current balance is 19,050,000 bells.I’ll see you all next time. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Garden Gnomes Have Rights

There was a tent at the campsite today, and I went inside to see the sweet rhino Merengue.

Merengue: I just love cooking things over a campfire. There's something about the taste of charred lima beans.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Stephen from Gilead recently visited my dream town. And at the museum, I took my mystic statue and donated it to the art gallery. It was real, but I pretty much already knew that. The version without the flat top was the very first piece of art I ever bought in New Leaf, and I remembered that one was fake. Here is the real one in my museum:

The real mystic statue in my museum.Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about the country that’s shaped like a boot. Obviously, that would be Italy. He’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: All right, so the country I wanted to visit is very long and sort of shaped like a boot! Just like I wear!Wendy came over to shop, wearing a cool new outfit.

Wendy from Pawnee has just arrived in Forest.She also jokingly tried to throw her axe into the fountain. Fortunately, there’s no Serena in New Leaf.

Wendy trying to throw her axe in the fountain.I held a small giveaway and I took ten hybrid flowers to the winner, Courtney from the town of Stoked.

Courtney: Thank you so much!Back in Forest, Molly asked me to collect signatures for a petition called “Garden Gnomes Have Rights.” Madisyn invited me to her town, so I decided to collect the signatures there. Her friend Laile was there at first, but she left right away. Then I was greeted by Batgirl.

Madisyn dressed as Batgirl.I began hunting down her villagers. But this one was just frightening. If a rainbow ever vomited on a sheep, this is what it might look like.

Pietro's house.Madisyn had a gift for me. It was something that Croque gave her, but she figured I’d get more use out of it than she would.

Madisyn gives me a men's toilet.Speaking of Croque, he provided the sixth and final signature that I needed. I can’t help but wonder what the point of petitions is, when every villager supports every single cause. If everyone already supports every issue, why is a petition even needed in the first place?

Garden Gnomes Have Rights petition signatures: Pietro, Dizzy, Grizzly, Willow, Ava, Croque.We went to the Roost to get some coffee.

Madisyn: BEAN ME.And Madisyn was making her pooping face???

Madisyn: Looks like I'm pooping.I got a few masks out of my locker, and I think the demon cow mask freaked her out.

Madisyn: WTFI also had a green pumpkin head, and I was wearing it when I ate a famous mushroom in Re-Tail.

A giant green Jeff-o'-lantern.I left after a while and returned to Forest. I gave Molly the completed petition and she rewarded me with the moon.

Molly: It's a moon.
