Friday Night Forest for July

Saharah was in my town today (just like she was in ACCF), and I hired her to put in some new carpet and wallpaper. She gave me this music-room floor and backyard fence. I promptly sold both items.

Music-room floor and backyard fence.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Paige from Serenity was my most recent dream visitor.

At 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest.  T Zelda and BranDex came over to visit. TZ was proud that she arrived first. She was also dressed as a baby.

T Zelda: 1st in line!TZ put a Pokemon shirt in Able Sisters, and BranDex really liked it.

T Zelda: at least i can wear booties.We headed over to Club LOL for some dancing. Unfortunately, Tabby was also there.

Tabby: Oh, it's YOU, Jeff!But we tried to have a good time anyway.

Dancing in Club LOL.After that, we went out to the island for some fishing, bug-catching, and diving. While diving, I was just offshore while TZ got her fishing rod out. She was trying to catch me! 😀

T Zelda: I thought you were Jaws.We also went on one dangerous fishing tour, but we didn’t do very well. It’s a hard one, so we only earned two medals for clearing it. At least we got some bonus medals, though.

Toritmer: Jeff gets 3 medals, T Zelda gets 3 medals, and BranDex gets 1 medal!We returned to Forest, and Merka came over to join the party. TZ asked me where I was, and I said Forest. She then came over and drank her coffee.

Jeff: Forest Gulp.TZ left after a while, and I started throwing beans at BranDex and Merka. I threw so many that they had to start cleaning them up with shovels.

Gold Medalist Badge

Yesterday, Copper told me that Phineas was in town! Yes! I quickly searched, and found him by my western bridge. He gave me what I was looking for: The Gold Medalist badge!

I got the Gold Medalist badge! I'm a superelite island medal winner!He said he couldn’t imagine how much time I spent working on that badge. No kidding!

Phineas: I can't imagine how much time you put into this task. Congratulations!I spoke to him again to see if I could get another badge, but no such luck. That’s okay, I’ll see him again. I’m going to keep working on these badges. Here’s an updated look at what I currently have:

My badge collection as of July 8, 2015.One of my villagers sent me a pack of paper in the mail, so I decided to use them to write some letters. Unfortunately, the game wouldn’t let me send Cally a gift.

The moth cannot be attached to a letter!After shaking a perfect peach tree, the tree died. And a spider descended out of the leaves–the leaves that were no longer there.

A spider hanging from a tree with no leaves.Kabuki told me he was going to move out of town on July 13th, but I made him change his tune.

Kabuki: I've already picked a day too. I'll be leaving on the 13th of this very month!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Hannah from Sonora was my most recent dream visitor. Yesterday’s visitor was Mary from Hogwarts.

Just as a reminder, Friday Night Forest is coming up this Friday. For people already on my roster, I’ll be opening my gate around 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Also, if you haven’t entered the StreetPass item giveaway, you have until Saturday night at 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

See you next time!

StreetPass Item Giveaway

Today, Big Top asked me for furniture shaped like an ice cream bar. That just means a rectangular piece of furniture–one that takes up two spaces, like a sofa or single bed.

Big Top: I bet furniture shaped like...an ice cream bar would make my place SUPER cool.I gave him a kiddie couch, and he rewarded me with his picture.

Big Top: It's Big Top's pic! Thank you, shorty!I went out to the island for some tours. The best one today was the bug hide-and-seek tour. It requires catching some “hidden” bugs, including centipedes and pill bugs that hide under rocks, walking sticks that are hard to see on trees, and mole crickets underground. If you take your time to look for the walking sticks on trees, and then hit all the rocks you see, it’s pretty easy to get gold. I don’t bother digging for the mole crickets. But I played this tour three times, earning a gold Tortimer award and 15 medals each time.

Tortimer: That's enough to net you a Gold Tortimer award and 15 medals!I actually spent some medals on the island too. Grams had some kappa-costume pants for sale for 15 medals, and I bought them (for catalog purposes).

Grams: Aye, some kappa-costume pants? Ye be seein' a nice item tharrrrr. I'll give it to ye for 15 medals.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Noah from Animal was my most recent dream visitor.
