Rolf’s Birthday

Yesterday, I saw a huge dragonfly and I knew it was a petaltail. So I got my net out and caught it. It seems like the biggest bugs are the most fun to catch. Of course, the petaltail sells for 8,000 bells, so that contributes to the enjoyment as well. 😉

I caught a petaltail dragonfly! It may be big, but I'm bigger! 167.3mmBoots told me he went shopping with Rolf, and he got his space suit on!

Boots: I went shopping with Rolf the other day. On impulse, I got my space suit on.
Where did you go shopping? Mars?

Actually, he was just asking me to buy his space suit for 288 bells. I went ahead and bought it to help him out. Now give me your picture please.

Today was Rolf’s birthday, so I made sure to attend his birthday party.

Rolf: Oh! You came to celebrate my birthday, Little J?For his present, I gave him a customized robo-chair that I bought at Re-Tail. While he wasn’t thrilled with the gift, he still appreciated that I came to his party.

Aurora was also at Rolf’s party, but she kept talking about herself.

Aurora: I wonder who will show up to my birthday party? I can count on you, right, ice cube?Back outside, I found Bob sitting on the yellow bench. He asked me to join him, so I did.

Bob and Jeff sit on a yellow bench PWP in Animal Crossing: New Leaf for Nintendo 3DS.Fortunately, I was able to get Agent S to change her mind about moving. Of course, she wasn’t going to move until August 30th anyway. So it wasn’t exactly a close call, but it’s still good to know she’s staying.

Agent S: Right now it's looking like I'll go on the 30th of this month. Don't get me wrong, I love this place.Booker’s recently-expanded upstairs room is now 6×6.

Booker stands in his empty upstairs room.But I need it to be 8×8, so I expanded it once again. Tom Nook’s crew will complete the work by tomorrow.

Awesome!Luna informed that Lola from Kingdom was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Night Fireworks

I did not compete in yesterday’s Bug-Off competition, but I saw on the bulletin board that Big Top was the big winner. Aurora got 2nd place and Boots finished in third.

Today, I made a sign for Sunday Night Forest. Well, it wasn’t from scratch. I took an old FNF (Friday Night Forest) design and just edited it. Even though I made a SNF pattern before, I apparently didn’t save that one.

My custom design sign for Sunday Night Fireworks, reading SNF 8-20-17.

At 8:00, I opened my gate as the fireworks festival was underway. I went over to speak to Isabelle at the event plaza, and she gave me a flower bopper.

Jeff wears a flower bopper and stands next to Isabelle in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.I decided to buy five of Crazy Redd’s cookies from his stand.

Redd: Every cookie has a prize ticket and only costs 500 bells! Would ya like to buy one? I bet ya would!So I gobbled down the cookies to find the tickets inside. Three of them were dud prizes (non-winners) and two were flash prizes. I redeemed the two winners for two lovely phones, while Redd gave me three sparklers for the duds.

When I spoke to Isabelle again, she gave me a fountain firework.

Isabelle: Take this fountain firework, and enjoy the fireworks show to its fullest!I walked around town to speak with some of my villagers. Vivian informed me that Agent S was planning on moving out of town!

Vivian: Did you know that Agent S is thinking about leaving town?So I went to have a little chat with the superhero squirrel, but she made no mention of moving. I’ll have to keep trying to change her mind in the coming days. But she did offer to buy my plesio neck for 4,500 bells.

Agent S: Oh, 4,500 bells? Yay! That's the perfect price. For reals, sell your plesio neck to me!By 8:50, I still had no visitors, so I decided to give up and close the gate.

My recent dream visitors have been Mayounna from Amy Rose and Connie from World. Thanks for stopping by.

Less Than or Equal To

Since last time, I looked at Booker’s house to see the new second floor (from the outside). This is what it currently looks like.

Booker's house, now with a second floor.The other night, Rolf noticed a cyclommatus stag in my pockets, and he offered to buy it for 9,600 bells. I quickly agreed to the deal, because that’s even better than its normal selling price of 8,000 bells.

Rolf: Lemme see... Whaddya say to... 9,600 bells?Tonight, Boots asked me for some new furniture. You may remember he recently disposed of his green nine lamp. So this time, I gave him a green eight lamp! Green + eight? It’s gr8!

Boots: What?! An eight lamp?!He really seemed to like it, and he gave me a modern wood shelf in return. Boots also told me that Bob was thinking about moving out of town. So I tracked down the purple cat and changed his mind for him.

Bob: It's settled. I'll stay put here in Forest. I guess we'll still be neighbors after all!Later on, I returned to visit Boots. He was actually sitting down in his house, which is something I don’t see a villager do very often. But he put his eight lamp in the same spot where he previously had the nine lamp. Eight may be less than nine, but it looks equally as good in his house.

Boots sits in his house, next to his eight lamp.

Maybe the eight lamp was good luck, because I caught an eight-legged creature right outside of Boots’ house–a tarantula!

I caught a tarantula! WHAAAA! Destroy it!

When I was almost done playing, I withdrew some money from the bank to give to Booker. He paid off the 298,000 bells for the second floor, and chose to make that upstairs room bigger. I need it to be 8×8 for what I have planned, so I’m not done expanding just yet.

Tom Nook: You want to widen the room on the second floor, hm?

My recent dream visitors have been Claire from Chepstow, Jess from Moonlake, Heather from Sunville, Maddie from L.A., Dan from Paloma, Bluebone from Lazurite, Wayland from Waypoint, Bella from Ordin, Kenzie from Kenton, and Niamh from Spagonia. Thanks for stopping by!

One other note: I will be opening my gate this Sunday (August 20th) for fireworks at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (which is 5 p.m. Pacific time, or 1 a.m. London time). Anyone already on my 3DS friend roster is welcome to come.
