Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Today I headed over to the town of Azulmont to deliver an item I ordered for Belle. I hope you enjoy it, Belle!

Back in Forest, I found another lost mitten on the ground. This time, it belonged to Agent S. She thanked me for returning it by giving me an old board floor. It wood have been a nice gift if I wasn’t already board with it.

Bob asked me for some perfect fruit, and I had a perfect cherry with his name on it. He gobbled it down and loved it! He thanked me by giving me a rococo table.

Saharah was in town, so I hired her to install some new wallpaper and carpeting. But on the way back to my house, I spotted Agent S on the bench. When she asked me to join her, I couldn’t say no! So I made Saharah stand there and wait while I sat with my squirrel friend.

Once I got home, Saharah put in a lovely wall and a playroom rug. Yuck.

As soon as I changed it back to the way it was, Agent S barged into my house. Is she stalking me? I had just spent time with her out on the bench, and now she’s following me home? I just stood there and waited for her to leave. I hate unplanned visits.

I felt just as weird when I went to Club LOL and Amelia said she knew I’d be there! She was probably flying high above town, watching for me with her eagle eyes.

I just tried to ignore her as I enjoyed some live music from K.K. the singing and guitar-playing dog. He played one of my favorite songs, Two Days Ago.

My recent dream visitors have been Dillyn from Maylend and Mayounna from Amy Rose. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend!

Yesterday, the museum gift shop finally had the museum model in stock! Celeste sold it to me for 1,800 bells.

Unlike the museum model in the GameCube game (pic here), this one isn’t as wide; it only occupies one space. I decided to put mine in my trophy room exhibit for now.

Oddly enough, it can be ordered from the catalog. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate it when items can be ordered again. But there doesn’t always seem to be any logic or reason as to which items can be ordered and which can’t. Some DLC items, like the red ogre mask, can’t be ordered–and yet a reward item like the museum model can. Go figure.

After putting some bells in the bank, my account balance reached 72 million bells.

You may remember that Octavian surprisingly moved out of Forest last year, and he was adopted by River Cross (Crosby from Town). I made a dream visit to Town today to check up on him. I was glad to see that he still remembered me.

And hello River Cross, if you still read this blog! Town is a nice town!

Back in Forest, Pashmina told me that she was planning on moving out of town on June 13th. She still owes me a geyser, so she’s not going anywhere.

Hamlet asked me for a peach, and I gave him a perfect one. He loved it!

After he gobbled it down, he gave me a rococo dresser. This might look good in Lucille Bluth’s house over in Arrested.

I spent the rest of my night doing some fishing and bug-catching around town. The fireflies are kind of fun to catch, aren’t they? Except when they fly up really high for no reason and you can’t reach them! I hate that! 😛 But sadly, my catches weren’t enough to make Phineas show up with any badges.

My recent dream visitors have been Isabelle and Rover! Well, not exactly: They were Izabelle from Shelley and Steven from Rover. Close enough. 😛 Thanks for visiting, whether you’re an NPC or not! 😉

Happy birthday to Animal Crossing: New Leaf! The game was released in America three years ago today (June 9th). Are you guys still playing it regularly like I am? Even if you’re not, this would be a good excuse to check in on your town. Don’t worry, your villagers will forgive you for your absence! 😉

Have a good day and I’ll see you next time!

On Sunday, I received Hippeux’s goodbye letter in the mail.

The museum gift shop had the paintball wall on sale, so I picked it up for 1,600 bells. It only becomes available after the museum’s art gallery is complete.

This is what it looks like. It might be good for a Splatoon-themed room, but I can’t imagine ever wanting to use it for anything other than that.

Now I’m just waiting for the museum model to show up at the gift shop. It should be there any day now.

Yesterday, my Re-Tail finally had furniture as the premium item! I’ve been waiting to sell my egg furniture since Easter! It’s kind of funny, but some obscure fish and bugs have shown up as the premium item multiple times before furniture showed up once. Well, better late than never.

Hippeux’s departure allowed a new former villager to show up on Main Street. And that villager is Sprinkle the penguin. Seeing her again is like the icing on the cake.

As for the town I mentioned visiting last time, I’ll go ahead and talk about it now. Beth and I have started a new town called Arrested, which will be based on the TV show Arrested Development. It’s still early in development right now, but we’ll be including some locations from the show (the model home, Balboa Towers, the wetlands, etc.) and there will be lots of references to the TV show.

Beth owns the cartridge the town is on, but we’re working together with ideas, pattern designs, and tracking down the items we need. It’s going to take a while to complete the town, but we’re already posting updates for the town on Tumblr each time we add something new. You can follow along at http://arrestedtown.tumblr.com.

Today, I found a lost mitten in Forest. Before I could hire a dog to sniff out the mitten and track the scent, that dog (Daisy) told me that it was hers! She says now she can keep both hands warm.

That struck me as odd, however. For one thing, she has paws, not hands. And she has four of them…so why say “both?” Also, it’s summer now (and she has fur). Why does she need to keep anything warm at this time of year? Hmm, where’s Scooby-Doo when you need him? I’m not convinced that Daisy is the best detective around.

In Arrested, Beth added sand patterns around the Bluth model home. Fans of the show may remember that the model home is in Sudden Valley–basically in the middle of nowhere. After we cut down a few trees, I was trying to prevent Michael Bluth from filling in the last blank spot with the sand pattern. 😛

And back in Forest, Gulliver was down on the beach. He was talking about a kilt and bagpipes, so he’s clearly headed for Scotland. He’ll send me a gift from there (the bagpipes) tomorrow.

Just a heads-up for people on my 3DS friend roster: June’s Friday Night Forest is being moved to next week (June 17th). The start time will be the usual, 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

My most recent dream visitor was Lucas from Peridoot. Thanks for stopping by!
