Camofrog Moves In

Lately I’ve been letting my perfect peach trees die. Even though it’s a small change, the dead trees should fit in with the Halloween theme. I’ll replant them again in November.

Two dead trees in my New Leaf town of Forest.Last night, I spotted a new house plot. It belongs to Camofrog. I’m pretty sure he came from the town of Arrested, since I know he lived there (and I haven’t StreetPassed anyone lately or played with anyone other than Beth’s characters).

Sign: This spot reserved for Camofrog's new home. -Nook's HomesToday, Big Top asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I had ten minutes to find him, Molly, and Pashmina. I found Molly almost immediately, hiding behind Julian’s house.

Molly: Oh no! You found me!A few minutes later, I found Pashmina hiding behind a tree and Big Top hiding behind Pashmina’s house. As Big Top congratulated me on winning the game, I noticed that he has picked up Pashmina’s catchphrase.

Big Top: Hats off to you, I peed.I found the new house and went inside to meet Forest’s newest villager, Camofrog. He seemed to think he was playing hide-and-seek too!

Camofrog: Ah, Jeff! So you found me!
You’re not camouflaged indoors, you know.

Camofrog is alright, I guess. He’s not one of my favorites, but I don’t dislike him either. The only bad thing is that Forest is full once again, so I can’t accept any campers (or Lily from Acorn) now.

On my central bridge, I stopped to chat with Hamlet. It was an odd conversation…

Hamlet: Old dudes at construction sites are the coolest, aren't they?

Hamlet: The kind of manual labor they do... It makes my muscles tingle just thinking about it!
What a curious comment.

So, let me get this straight. Hamlet watches old men at construction sites and it makes his muscles tingle? Uhm, okay… That may be too much information. I don’t know if I’ll ever think of Hamlet the same.

Meanwhile, Pashmina was fishing…but not catching anything. Apparently she zones out while watching her bobber–even forgetting to breathe! And then she…well, you know.

Pashmina: Sometimes I hold my breath while watching my bobber without even realizing it... Gasp! I peed!And last but not least, I found that Bob was sick with a cold! I bought some medicine for him, so I hope he’ll get better soon. Make sure to take plenty of catnaps, Bob!

Bob flips as he takes some cold medicine.

My most recent dream visitor was Pearl from Myrtle, although Pashmina also mentioned Sylvi from Tailvill.

Just a reminder that my Wild World blog and Disney Magical World 2 blog are now both online. They are updated frequently, so feel free to check them out anytime.

First Double Rainbow

When I started up the game today, I saw something surprising: a double rainbow! Believe it or not, this is the first time I’ve seen a double rainbow in my own town! I have seen them in dream towns before (including Mark’s), and “in person” in Merka’s town once. But here is Forest’s first double rainbow, as seen from my western bridge.

A double rainbow appears at the entrance to Main Street.Down by the river, Hamlet told me that he was planning on moving out of town on October 18th. I thought about it, but I didn’t want to let him go just yet.

Hamlet: Everyone always expects me to be Mr. Positive. But what if I just feel like being moody sometimes?Julian was also nearby, so I had a chat with him as well. He said that he’d like someone to see a rainbow reflected in his eyes, so they could see two rainbows at once.

Julian: Just once... I'd like someone to see a rainbow reflected in my eyes.Julian: It'd be like they could see two rainbows at once. Wouldn't that be magical, my horn?

One other small change I’ve made to my town for Halloween: I’ve put some black and orange roses in front of the metal bench in my central park.

My recent dream visitors have been Rayna from Kit Kat, Yole from New Leaf, and Elaine from Hellbrah. Thank you all for visiting!

By the way, Nintendo has just released Animal Crossing Wild World for the Wii U Virtual Console today in the American eShop! (It has already been released in other regions). But I predict a Wild World Blog will appear later tonight! 😉

Jeff looks into his crystal ball (creepy crystal) and predicts the future!

Explorer’s Day 2016

Today is Explorer’s Day (Columbus Day), and I found Isabelle over at the event plaza. She was handing out sailboat models for the occasion.

Isabelle: It's a sailboat model! With it, you can really get into the excitement of Explorer's Day!There was also a three-person face-cutout standee for Explorer’s Day. I grabbed the front spot and took hold of the map. Meanwhile, a treasure chest looked through its telescope, and the border of my town tree waved goodbye…to its lunch.

Julian asked me to make a delivery to Big Top for him. So I tracked down the elephant and handed him the package. Inside was a gift that Big Top had intended for me: a mummy shirt! Even though it is Halloween season, I didn’t really want to put it on. Sorry, but I’m wrapped up in other things.

Big Top: It's a mummy shirt! I thought it might look good on you, J-bot!But speaking of Halloween, Beth submitted a design for some Halloween dungarees. If you’re interested, you can scan it from the Halloween QR Codes page.

After making my rounds, I deposited some money into my account. My balance reached 83 million bells. I’m slowly making progress towards my goal.

Your current balance is 83,020,000 bells.

My recent dream visitors have been Chris from Hebron and Luke from Gooseton. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
