April Fools’ Day 2017

Late last night, Vivian told me she was good at dusting. That was one of her April Fools’ Day hints.

Vivian: Did you know that I'm better than anyone else in Forest at dusting?
Crop dusting or regular?

I’m sure you know by now that I sell ore at the flea market section in Re-Tail for inflated prices. But for days when I don’t have as many gems, I’ve started putting fossils for sale as well. Just whatever the default selling price is, just multiply it by 4 and subtract 1 bell for the maximum selling price (but never more than 9,999). I’m glad my villagers don’t know any better. 😉

Rolf: Were you the one who put the plesio skull here?! Hmmm. I'm kind of tempted...
Plesio just buy it!

Today is April 1st, and many regular trees around town will be pink. It’s a very pretty time of year.

Several pink trees near the Roost.Over at the event plaza, I found Blanca, the cat without a face.

Blanca: Yep, yep! It's April Fools' Day, the day of pranks and tricksters!If you’re not familiar with the April Fools’ Day event, I’ll sum it up for you: In one house at a time, a villager will have a clone that’s really Blanca in disguise. You are given a towel, and you have to give it to one of the two, based on their answers to questions.

The one you suspect will then wipe his/her face with the towel. If you’ve correctly chosen Blanca, the face will wipe off. The real villager will thank you for knowing, and then give you his/her villager picture.

Blanca first appeared in Rolf’s house.

Two Rolfs (one of which is really Blanca in disguise), mad at each other on April Fools' Day in ACNL.I correctly figured out which was the fake Rolf, and Blanca’s blank face was revealed.

Blanca: I'm the fake one! That's a bummer! You figured out it was me! I was sure my disguise was perfect!So Rolf gave me his picture, and Blanca went on to clone another one of my villagers. That turned out to be Camofrog, and unfortunately, I didn’t have any hints for him. So I had to guess. One wanted to be a lawyer, and the other wanted to be a pilot. I handed the towel to the pilot, and it was the real Camofrog. Oops.

Camofrog: But I'm the real deal!
The camouflage master has met his match.

But things improved from there. Vivian’s hint from last night helped me get her picture, and most of the others I knew already.

Vivian, to Blanca: How dare you dress up like me without express written consent!

But the last villager of the night, Rodeo, was a wild card; I didn’t have any clues for him. I guessed that his favorite quote was “Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,” and I was right. And with that, Blanca said goodbye until next year.

Blanca: I'll be back next year to pull another prank on people, so I'll see you on the next April Fools'!In all, I got 9 out of 10 correct. Three of the pictures I received tonight were new ones: Lily, Vivian, and Rodeo. Here’s a look at each one, along with their favorite quotes.

Thanks to a forum post by AccfSally, I learned that Lion Town is back with a new dream address! It’s 2B00-0046-7AE2 if you’d like to check it out. It’s one of my favorites, so I’m glad to see it has returned.

94 Million Bells

On Monday, Bob asked me for an orange. I exceeded his expectations by giving him a perfect orange. In fact, he was juiced.

Bob: Wow! This orange is so much better than normal ones, on my paws!
Why do you have normal oranges on your paws?

He rewarded me by giving me a queen.

I found Lily relaxing on Forest’s metal bench. She asked me to join her, so I did. At least for a few moments. Then I hopped away.

Lily: This is the best season for relaxing outside. Why don't you sit down and join me, Jeff?Sitting with Lily on my metal bench.I’ve been finding lots of gem rocks lately (when the money rocks spit out ore instead of bells). So I’ve been selling the gems to villagers at Re-Tail for 7,999 bells each (or 9,999 for silver/gold nuggets). That has helped my bank account balance reach 94 million bells today.

Your current balance is 94,000,000 bells.Lobo the wolf was camping in a tent at the campsite today. He seems pretty cool, but my town is full (and I already have plans for someone to move in when the time comes).

Lobo: I didn't do any research or anything before choosing a place to camp. I think I lucked out with this town!Aurora told me she was going to move away on April 7th, but I put her plans on ice.

Aurora: Oh, Mr. J! This may seem sudden, but I'll be moving away next month on the 7th.

Doing Handstands?

Camofrog approached me today, telling me he was going to move out of town on April 2nd. Even though he is one of the villagers I’m willing to let go sometime soon, the time isn’t right. I want to get his villager pic first.

Camofrog: I'll be leaving on the 2nd of next month! After that, I'm gone!

Rodeo asked me to find him some furniture, so I gave him a customized robo-chair. I’m not so sure he enjoyed it though, because he “thanked” me by giving me a trash bin. Thanks, buddy.

Rodeo: It's a trash bin! Thank you, mayor!

I spoke with Rolf tonight, and he told me he excels at doing handstands! Now that I’d like to see!

Rolf: I've got confidence in my skills when it comes to doing handstands. It's where I really excel!

Maybe I could start a Forest circus with Rolf doing handstands and maybe Big Top can do some stunts too. But actually, I think this odd bit of dialogue is just for April Fools’ Day, which is coming up next Saturday. To prove you know the “real” villager (as opposed to Blanca in disguise), you’re asked to pick which statement of theirs is the true one.

I visited Lily, and she apparently just got out of the bath.

Lily: Lately I've been enjoying long hot baths at the end of my day.

In the police station, there was a doghouse in the lost and found. Copper asked if it was mine…and I wondered if it was his. But then again, the police station is his doghouse, since he lives here 24/7. 😛

Copper: Looks like you've got yourself a doghouse there. Do you want to keep that item?

Right outside, I found a lost item on the ground. Since I was already near Agent S’s house, I went in to ask her about it. And surprisingly, it was indeed hers! She rewarded me with a dreamy tee.

Agent S: Hey! My book! I couldn't find it anywhere!

My recent dream visitors have been Josh from Cheese, Ellie from Symsonia, Eunnie from Pyon, and Emma from LeafTown. That’s one Cheese and three E’s. 😛

Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll see you next time!
