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! 😉

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! 🙂

Pashmina’s Potatoes

Thursday night, Agent S asked me to catch an ocean fish for her. I rarely (if ever) turn down requests like this, since they’re pretty easy to complete. It’s the requests for specific fish or bugs that are a pain.

Agent S: Oh, what I wouldn't GIVE to have one of those salty critters of my own, in a sack!I caught a sea bass for her, and she rewarded with a gelato tee.

Last night, Beth came over for a short visit. Pashmina asked me about potatoes, and we ended up discussing french fries. She mentioned putting vinegar on fries, which is something I love. But then she said “yum-diddly-um,” as if she was Ned Flanders. So the boost in her coolness was very short-lived.

Pashmina: Ever tried 'em with a little sea salt and vinegar? Get that salty-tangy thing going? Yum-diddly-um, dude!Beth and I got some coffee and sat on the bench. Then I stood up and released a butterfly on her head.

Beth sits on the bench with a butterfly flying over her head.Today (Saturday) was the first fishing tournament of the season. I played too late in the day to participate (as usual), but a message on the bulletin board told me that Big Top was the big winner.

~ Fishing Tournament Results ~ Winner: Big Top. Second: Pashmina. Third: Agent S. Great work, everyone!Chip: It's all over now, though. You should really join in next time! I'll be there!Since it’s October 8th now, the Roost is back on its normal schedule for employees. However, I was still unable to work because of the fishing tournament. But tomorrow, at last, we can work again!

My recent dream visitors have been Brody from Hometown, Leon from Skaia, and Logan from Hillio. Thanks for visiting!

Announcements

I have a couple of announcements. First, Friday Night Forest will not be held next weekend. Instead, I will be opening on Friday, October 28th. There won’t be a designated outfit for visitors like there was last month, so feel free to wear whatever you like. Come in costume if you’d like, since it will be the weekend before Halloween!

And secondly, the time has come to scale back the frequency of blog posts. Instead of three new entries each week, there will be two. Of course, some weeks might still have three entries, but two will be the new norm. Disney Magical World 2 is coming out next week, and I’ll be preparing a new blog for that game.

And just for fun, here’s a picture of Resetti in Mario Kart 8 (after using a filter on it).
