Revisiting Club Tortimer

Britt recently let me visit Billy’s RV. Thanks, Britt! 🙂 I needed the black phone for Booker’s house. But when I saw this hideous “lucky doll,” I had to order it as well. 😀

Billy: Pretty sweet ride, huh? And it's big enough for a total-body workout. Let's do some spins! Wheeeee!For now, I just put in my Halloween themed room with all the other creepy items.

I visited Merka’s town over the weekend. We uh, planted some beans.

Jeff and Merka throwing beans in the New Leaf town of Muffy.I had a chat with some of her villagers, and I apparently made Drake sad when I told him the town was dirty. Oops. 😛

Drake: I can't believe you think our town is dirty.After a night at the Zelda Symphony on Saturday, I found six new StreetPass homes in the Happy Homes Showcase. I made sure to check out all of their houses.

In addition to giving some things away on Bell Tree and Facebook lately, I’ve also been visiting Club Tortimer. It’s mainly been to look for rare items in the shop (to then give away). But I’ve also met some interesting people. Olivia put on this werewolf hood, and then she started howling and growling.

Olivia, wearing a werewolf hood: OWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!Olivia: grrrrrrrr!I’ve also gone on some tours while on the islands.

Tortimer: For your outstanding performance, you've earned a Gold Tortimer award and 7 medals!On Monday, Vivian suggested a new PWP (public works project)! She said we should build a modern bench in town.

Vivian: A modern bench! You do agree, right? RIGHT?This is what it looks like. Honestly, it looks kind of plain. I normally like the modern PWPs, but this one looks like sit. 😛

Modern bench PWP: 52,800 bells.Lily asked me to fetch Bob for her. When I told Bob the news, he seemed afraid of Lily! He asked me to come along to protect him! From Lily? Wow, Bob is such a scaredy-cat!

Bob: You're coming with me, right, muffin? I need you to protect me if Lily's mad at me!But of course Lily wasn’t mad at Bob. She heard Bob was looking for her, but it turns out he just wanted to know how to spell a word! Except that he couldn’t remember what the word was. 😛

Bob: Oh, right. I wanted to ask you how to spell something. But I can't remember what word it was...I found Rolf sitting on the metal bench, so I had a seat next to him.

Jacob, on Club Tortimer: Awesome, a gold award!On the international island, I ran into a Japanese player who gave me a basket of each perfect fruit. That was nice of her.

Jeff: Oh, thank you!

Miiverse closed late last night, and I have not earned any more badges. Although I think I must be getting close to earning the gold visitor badge. I figured that I could perhaps edit my previous badge screen image once I get that one, so I’m not posting that GIF of my badges just yet. Hopefully soon, though! Don’t worry, I’m not going to wait for the weed-pulling or StreetPassing badges. Those could take years.

My recent dream visitors have been Fingus from Catville, Linkling from Poké, D1PP3R from Huricane, Colin from Domden, Haliegh from Mahogany, and Luna from Patue. Thank you all for visiting!

Mushroom Season Starts

As I went in Boots’ house to check out his two lamp on Sunday, he happened to ask me for furniture again. As you might’ve guessed, I already had a customized one lamp in my pockets ready for him.

Boots: OK! This is perfect! I'm going to think about placement and put it up a little later.
Think about placement? Who do you think you’re fooling? We both know exactly where that lamp is going.

Monday, Boots offered to trade his office chair for my zero lamp! That’s the last number I he needed!

Boots: I'll trade office chair o my team. Zero lamp on your team comes over to me.The countdown is now complete!

Big Top asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I buried it in the northwest corner of town (behind Re-Tail), and I’ll be sure not to open it this time. 😉

Big Top: I just put together a time capsule with my most prized possession inside. Now I just have to bury it!

Of course, yesterday was Halloween. I played a little bit to collect a few pumpkin heads I didn’t seem to have in storage any more.

I also loaded up my Booker character, since his mailbox was about to burst. He headed over to Re-Tail to sell some gifts from Mom, and he got harassed by a bunch of pumpkin-headed villagers. He was forced to talk to Molly…for the first time. 😛

Three pumpkin-headed villagers chase Booker around town.As I switched back to Jeff, I took this screenshot of a purple pumpkin-headed villager on the title screen. 😛

Boots: My secret dream is to own my own lightning tee...I’ve been giving away a bunch of my extra villager pictures lately. The only ones I have left are Agent S, Big Top, Daisy, Molly, and Rolf. Let me know if you’d like any of them.

November started today, and that means that it’s mushroom season now! I found a rare mushroom (worth 16,000 bells), and I also found a mush table disguised as a mushroom.

I thought it was a mushroom, but it's a mush table!At the campground, Harvey was feeding the birds. He gave me another set of beans, even though I already have one set. If you want it, let me know!

My recent dream visitors have been Brandon from Coolvill, Annie from Hylia, and Claudia from FairyOak. Thank you all for stopping by!
