Today is the 2nd Friday of the month, and that meant it was time for Friday Night Forest! I opened my gate shortly after 10 p.m., and at first no one showed up. But at 10:15, Robin came over to visit. Robin was someone that I used to play ACCF with back in 2011 or so. But this was her first time visiting me in New Leaf!
She did some shopping up on Main Street; this was actually her first time seeing the Emporium! She seemed pretty excited about it.
She got her hair done at Shampoodle (using my hair guide of course, haha) and she said she was jealous of all my emotions. The Shrunk Funk Shuffle seemed to impress her. 😛
I told her she could help herself to the fruit in my town, since her town is new. I also gave her a tour of my house.
We had some fun on the marshmallow chairs. It still makes me laugh to see the faces and hear the sounds the characters make when they try (and fail) to get off the chair.
She didn’t have a wet suit, so I gave her a (gently-used) extra one I had.
We also hunted down some snowflakes. There was one snowflake in particular that seemed to be trolling us. We had to swim to the private beach to get to it, and once we arrived, it went back to the other side! It went back and forth several times until Robin eventually caught it.
We did some swimming and crab diving, and then we had a nice hammer fight. It can’t truly be Friday Night Forest without bashing someone over the head with a toy hammer.
We dove into the ocean (from the cliff and the dock), but it’s hard to take a picture at just the right moment. It’s even harder to time it so that you jump off at the same time. But this is the best picture I got from our diving attempts.
Shortly before midnight, I ended the session. I had a good time and it was nice to see Robin again after not playing Animal Crossing with her for years. Hopefully she’ll stop by again sometime.
I wrapped up my night by updating my dream town at the Dream Suite. While I was there, Luna told me that Alana from Cratoe was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend, everyone!
Peck came up to me and started bragging about not only his clothes, but also his “jaw-dropping physique.” (Looks like he has a bird chest to me). But I think he’s starting to creep me out a bit.
He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Velma, and Agent S. Fifteen minutes is plenty of time, so I felt no need to rush. But still, it didn’t take me long to find Velma hiding behind a tree and Agent S hiding behind Rolf’s house.
I tracked down Dizzy a couple minutes later, and he had the worst hiding spot of all: He was trying to hide behind the arm of the Sphinx. If someone told him that was a good hiding spot, they were clearly lion.
Even though Dizzy lost the game, he said it was the most fun he’s had in ages. That’s saying a lot, because elephants never forget! 😉 He gave me a hearth as my prize for winning.
Even though I built a perfect snowmam yesterday, I tried making another one today since I found both snowballs pretty close to each other. However, the snowballs wouldn’t connect to form a snowmam–even though they seemed like they were the right size! Oh well. So I just made them a little bigger and ended up with a snowboy.
When I made my daily trip up to Main Street, Luna told me that Cab from Renwerd was my most recent dream visitor. (Ben from Leafwood was my previous dream visitor). At the post office, the money I deposited into my bank account kicked my balance up over 58 million bells.
I finished off my night with some fishing and diving. I caught a scallop and Pascal popped up out of the water. He figured that if people can get seasick, maybe the sea can get person sick. 😀
I definitely wouldn’t want to swim in that ocean.
