Unfortunately, turnip prices didn’t go up this morning. They actually dropped a little, down to 147 bells.
But that was still nearly 50% more than I paid, so I sold the remainder of my turnips at that price. It’s a good thing I sold when I did too, because the prices plummeted to 48 bells in the afternoon.
I was quite surprised when I saw a new house plot in town! I wasn’t expecting a new villager. Since this will be my 10th villager, it had to have came from a StreetPass or someone who visited my town recently–Squishy or Tom. At least the house is in a good spot; it’s where Amelia’s house was.
But who is the mystery villager? Dizzy the lazy elephant. I’m not sure if I’ll like him or not, but I guess time will tell. For the first time since Tia left town, Big Top won’t be the only elephant around.
I saw an igloo at the campsite, and my heart dropped. What if the surprise arrival of Dizzy prevented me from getting a good villager I actually wanted? But when I went inside, I saw the camper was Simon the monkey. He’s okay I guess, but I think I would have taken Dizzy over Simon anyway.
As I ran around town, I kept falling on my face. Another bad luck day already?
Katrina’s shop was already closed, so I had no choice but to live with my bad luck for the rest of the day. I ended up with a mouth full of ice chips, dirt, and bugs.
She said it was wonderful, so I thought she really liked it. Until she gave me a garbage can in return. What a sarcastic little penguin.
I checked for new DLC at the post office, and I saw that the Aquarius urn is available now. Don’t forget to pick yours up!
I put it in my house, and I like the way it looks. It goes well with an ice or water-themed room.
Today, Reese was buying turnips for 164 bells each. The price has been slowly rising the past few days, so I think there’s a good chance it may be even higher tomorrow morning. But a price of 164 this late in the week is enough for me to sell a good chunk of my turnips to ensure a profit regardless of what may happen tomorrow. So I sold about two-thirds of my turnips.
Molly asked me to join in a game of hide-and-seek, and I agreed to play. She gave me ten minutes to find her, Big Top, and Aurora.
I started a clockwise search around Forest, and I was not having much luck. I was nearly back to the starting point before I found my first hider (Molly). I figured one of the others was probably down on the beach, since it seems unlikely that I’d miss two villagers when I thought I did a fairly thorough job of seeking. And sure enough, Aurora was hiding behind a banana tree.
But I was down to about two minutes remaining, and I hadn’t found Big Top. It’s not a good sign if you can’t find a hiding elephant. But as I began my second trip around town, I finally found him hiding behind his own house!
I had a tougher time than usual, but I still won the game. Molly gave me a lab wall as my prize.
Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Homero from Kuma was my most recent dream visitor.
I saw that Resetti’s manhole was open once again, so I hopped down to say hello. But he wasn’t home. Don was there, and he told me Resetti had to go to the doctor for his bad back.
He gave me his picture! He warned me that this would be the only time I get something from him. The full name of the item is “Don Resetti’s pic.” I don’t usually think of Resetti as being the last name…after all, Resetti’s speech bubble just says Resetti.
It said that his favorite quote is “Jasmine oil on a mole’s head.” I hope he’s not talking about Jasmine from Aladdin.
Back outside, I noticed the northern lights up in the sky.
Despite getting the picture from Don, I was having a bad luck day; I kept falling all over town. I almost took a header into Miss Snowmam!
So I went up to see Katrina on Main Street to see if she could help me out. She said I needed some iconic bottoms…or she could sell me a special charm for 10,000 bells.
I bought the special charm, and it was a Tingle hood! I was happy to finally get one. I was less happy about how it looked on me.
I went next door to the Dream Suite and updated my dream town. Luna told me that Ellie from Rivendel was my most recent dream visitor. After I was done with my Main Street run, I returned to town. Kabuki was complaining about the tag on his shirt, saying it was itching him.
Some of my villagers told me Gulliver was down on the beach, but I didn’t bother to “save” him. The novelty has definitely worn off, and I completed my collection of his items a long time ago. I’m not going to ignore him every time he washes ashore, but today I’m going to let him sleep in.
