Leap Day

Today is February 29th, also known as Leap Day. This date only comes once every four years, and this is the first Leap Day since New Leaf was released (outside of Japan, at least). As I started up the game, Isabelle told me there wasn’t any Leap Day celebration planned–so she decided to make something up on the spot. She just yelled “Happy Leap Day!”

Isabelle: HAPPY LEAP DAY!That’s all she could come up with.

Isabelle: That's it. Leap day accounted for. See you in four years.

But there was also a message on the bulletin board about it being Leap Day. It was almost identical to the message posted in City Folk.

Today is February 29th, the day that only comes once every four years! Do you feel like you gained a day?

Resetti’s manhole was open again tonight, and I was relieved to see he wasn’t still on the toilet. But he didn’t have anything interesting to say; he just told me to keep my hands to myself.

Resetti: Don't go fiddlin' about with nothin', ya hear? Hands to yourself ONLY!

I visited Peck, and he told me I should take a picture of him…so I did. It must have been a long time since I was in his house though, because it didn’t look very familiar.

Peck: OK! Cheeeeese!

Near my central bridge, Velma was talking about how special Leap Day is. She said if this was her birthday, she would only be one-fourth of her current age. And then she backtracked, saying that today is her birthday! (Hint: It’s not).

Velma: Wait--did I say "if" this were my birthday? What I meant to say was...today's my birthday!"
What a liar.

She then said she was turning nine years old! Does that mean she’s really 36?

Velma: I'm turning nine years old.

Maybe I should call Scooby Doo to investigate.

Over by town hall, Daisy was also talking about Leap Day…just without the lies.

Daisy: Every 4 years, we get an extra day to spend however we want.

Saharah was right there, so I went ahead and hired her to put in new carpeting and wallpaper. She ended up installing a western vista and a ceramic tile.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Crimson from Stream was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!
