Fishing for Camofrog

The mailbox of Booker (my 2nd character, not the dog) filled up recently, so I switched characters to clear out his mail. One of his letters was from Isabelle, and it was about the town’s anniversary back on May 2nd. It included a sapling clock. So apparently, every character will get one. Not just the mayor.

Dear Booker, May 2nd will mark 4 years of our mayor presiding over this town! To honor his time in office, every villager will get a special celebratory gift! -Isabelle from Town HallAnyway, Peewee the gorilla was camping at the campsite today. The gorillas aren’t one of my favorites species.

Peewee: I heard the local specialty is one of my favorites, the peach! I love this town! GAHAHA!I found Gulliver down on the beach, talking about maple syrup. Before he started getting too sappy, I informed him that Canada is the country he was headed to. He’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: Oh! My beloved maple syrup! Please tell me you've heard of this country! You've gotta!Camofrog asked me for a butterfly fish tonight, and I really wanted to help him out (so that maybe I could get his picture). So I went down to the ocean and started fishing. I wasn’t having much luck finding a butterfly fish, but I was catching some other valuable fish and bugs. Sharks, blue marlins, red snappers, and several types of tree bugs.

After half an hour of fishing, I decided to give up. I saw a small fish shadow near the ramp back up to town, and I told myself that would be my last try. And surprisingly enough, that was a butterfly fish!

I caught a butterfly fish! As mayor, welcome to my pockets!So I took it over to Camofrog, and he rewarded me with…some slate flooring. How disappointing, after all that work. Ugh.

But on the bright side, all those fish and bugs I caught earned me some big bells. In fact, I earned enough to kick my bank account balance over 101 million bells.

Your current balance is 101,040,000 bells.Of course, I keep forgetting that I don’t have to go up to the post office to deposit money. I could do it in my own house, thanks to my ABD.

Luna told me my recent dream visitors have been Hayley from Phoenix, Shawna from Seashell, Levi from Forest, and Pansy from Salazar. Boots also mentioned dreaming of Nathan from Oldwell. Thanks for stopping by!

July Bug-Off

Yesterday, I got this conical straw hat in the mail from Gulliver in Vietnam.

Wearing a conical straw hat that Gulliver sent me from Vietnam.Today, Squishy came over to smuggle sell some oranges at Re-Tail.

Squishy arrives in Forest.As she was selling, I picked some peaches and put a basket of them in my storage. When I came back out of my house, I apparently scared Squishy. I guess she didn’t know where I was, and then I suddenly appeared. Maybe she was just afraid that I was Copper, about to sniff out her illegal fruit smuggling ring. 😛

When she was done, I ended the session and put my 3DS in sleep mode. I picked it back up later on, and I found some fresh perfect oranges right in front of the train station. Thanks, Squishy! I’ll be sure to give these to my villagers as I try to squeeze them into giving me their pictures. 😉

Finding some perfect oranges on the ground by the train station.I spotted a bug on my tree stump, so I got my net out and caught it. It was a longhorn beetle. Since the July Bug-Off was being held today, I decided to give that beetle to Nat. He judged it and gave it a score of 62 points.

Nat: 62 points!That was enough to put me in first place, and Nat gave me a minimalist lamp. A light, simple reward.

I didn’t try to top that score, and I just waited out the Bug-Off. Later on, I returned for the winners’ ceremony. Aurora got third place with a 35-point snail, Rolf got second place with a 47-point walking stick, and my longhorn beetle hung on to win. Yay.

I celebrate a Bug-Off win. Rolf won 2nd place and Aurora got 3rd place.

My recent dream visitors have been Nelly from Spirit (yesterday) and then today, MaryAnn from Tropical! That’s a familiar name! Hi Yann, if you happen to read this!

Megaphone Blues

Animals in town will frequently thank me for enacting the night owl ordinance, since it keeps shops open later and villagers stay up later. But Camofrog wasn’t so happy about it, as I found out the other night.

Camofrog: You know, I don't stay up all night because I like to! Frog you!Today, Aurora asked me for some fruit. I gave her a perfect peach, and in return, she gave me a shower! 😛

Aurora: I can't let you go without a token of my appreciation. Please, take my shower.Vivian asked me to make a delivery to Big Top, and I agreed to help out. When I gave him the item, he thanked me by giving me his picture. Of course I already have several of these already, but thanks anyway.

Big Top: It's Big Top's pic!Gulliver was down on the beach, and I decided to help him out for a change. He told me he was heading to a country where there are lots of motorcycles. I knew that he was headed for Vietnam. He’ll send me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: The country I was heading to sounds like "rrrrr rrrrr" all day because there are so many motorcycles!Camofrog told me he was planning on moving out on July 23rd, but I told him not to go. I do want to let him go soon, but not until I get his picture!

Camofrog: The truth is, I've been thinking it's about time for me to leave this place behind.Since I still need pics from Camofrog and Boots, I’ve been trying to chat with them a lot lately. But it’s often hard to track them down. Not just because they’re green and camofrogged camouflaged, but also because I have trouble using the megaphone to find them. When I call Camofrog, Kapp’n usually responds with “Gar?” And whenever I yell for Boots, Agent S seems to respond. Ugh.

Agent S: Hey! What's up?
Not you, Agent S! The other Boots!

I hope the next Animal Crossing game lets you choose from a list of your villagers when you use the megaphone.

In the southwest park, I found Bob sitting on the yellow bench. He asked me to join him.

Bob: Why don't you take a load off?I took a seat to join him, but I didn’t stay for long. I had to get back to searching for Boots. 😛

Bob and Jeff sit on the bench in Forest.

My recent dream visitors have been Chloe from Distort, Katria from Altea, Jeff from Gatewood, Haley from Youtube, and Morgan from New Leaf. Thanks for stopping by!
