Tatami Times Two

Yesterday, I did some diving in the ocean and caught a scallop. Pascal popped up out of the ocean and asked me for it; I handed it over and he gave me a ship cannon in return. He also told me he once went to the North Pole and found that there was no pole there!

20160110_HNI_0025I made some deliveries to give away a bunch of my duplicate villager pictures to Katherin, Hailey, CG, Yami, and Edouard. I hope you all enjoy the pics! I still have a number of pics available, though, so just contact me if you want some. Here’s what I have left:

20160110_HNI_0041Today, Saharah was in town. I paid her 3,000 bells for some new wallpaper and carpet; she put in this western vista and tatami. Again?! She just gave me a tatami four days ago!

20160111_HNI_0043Big Top was in Re-Tail shopping for bargains. Good luck finding a bargain here, pal! He said his eagle eye was going to come in handy. But it actually looked like he was crossing his eyes when he said that.

20160111_HNI_0044Rolf asked me to make a delivery to Daisy, so I took the item over. It turned out to be a jagged shirt, and Daisy seemed to like it. She rewarded with a BB tee.

20160111_HNI_0045Even though it may be a bit cold for a T-shirt, I put it on anyway.

20160111_HNI_0046Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Skylar from Konohana was my most recent dream visitor. Other visitors were Patrick from Sci-Town (yesterday) and Jordan from Funville (Saturday). Thank you all for stopping by!

Friday Night Forest – January

Today is the 2nd Friday of the month, and that meant it was time for Friday Night Forest! I opened my gate shortly after 10 p.m., and at first no one showed up. But at 10:15, Robin came over to visit. Robin was someone that I used to play ACCF with back in 2011 or so. But this was her first time visiting me in New Leaf!

20160108_HNI_0041She did some shopping up on Main Street; this was actually her first time seeing the Emporium! She seemed pretty excited about it.

20160108_HNI_0053She got her hair done at Shampoodle (using my hair guide of course, haha) and she said she was jealous of all my emotions. The Shrunk Funk Shuffle seemed to impress her. 😛

20160108_HNI_0055I told her she could help herself to the fruit in my town, since her town is new. I also gave her a tour of my house.

20160108_HNI_0060We had some fun on the marshmallow chairs. It still makes me laugh to see the faces and hear the sounds the characters make when they try (and fail) to get off the chair.

20160108_HNI_0068She didn’t have a wet suit, so I gave her a (gently-used) extra one I had.

peeWe also hunted down some snowflakes. There was one snowflake in particular that seemed to be trolling us. We had to swim to the private beach to get to it, and once we arrived, it went back to the other side! It went back and forth several times until Robin eventually caught it.

20160108_HNI_0087We did some swimming and crab diving, and then we had a nice hammer fight. It can’t truly be Friday Night Forest without bashing someone over the head with a toy hammer.

20160108_HNI_0097We dove into the ocean (from the cliff and the dock), but it’s hard to take a picture at just the right moment. It’s even harder to time it so that you jump off at the same time. But this is the best picture I got from our diving attempts.

20160108_HNI_0001Shortly before midnight, I ended the session. I had a good time and it was nice to see Robin again after not playing Animal Crossing with her for years. Hopefully she’ll stop by again sometime.

I wrapped up my night by updating my dream town at the Dream Suite. While I was there, Luna told me that Alana from Cratoe was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend, everyone!

Dreaming of Scarlett

Saharah was in town today, and I hired her to install some new wallpaper and carpet. She put in this kitchen wall and tatami. Eh.

20160107_HNI_0097Peck came up to me and started bragging about not only his clothes, but also his “jaw-dropping physique.” (Looks like he has a bird chest to me). But I think he’s starting to creep me out a bit.

Not a lot was going on in town tonight, so I decided to do a little dreaming. I started going through my list of dream towns that people have suggested, but I noticed an unsettling trend. Luna kept telling me that there was not a town at each address I entered. Admittedly, these suggestions were old. (I’ve received too many suggestions to get to them all in a timely manner). But I’ve never got this many bad dream addresses in a row before.

I know that inactive dreams are deleted after a while, but I wonder if Nintendo has decreased that amount of time now that they’re also saving people’s Happy Home Designer creations. At any rate, if you want your dream town to stay active, make sure you update it regularly!

I was a bit relieved when I finally found one that worked. I headed off to the town of Scarlett (4600-2362-5644). It’s set in springtime, and you can see the pink cherry blossom trees. There are lots of flowers and the sky is blue and clear. This town is gorgeous!

Paths, flowers, and pink trees in the gorgeous town of Scarlett.

There is a winding path that leads to the campsite and this mushroom garden near the fire pit. You can use a tree trunk as a stool.

The town is amazingly colorful, everywhere you go.

Purple and pink houses, with matching flowers.

Mel is the mayor of Scarlett, and her basement looks like a great place to check out some live music.

Honey’s house has a great-looking diner. Grab some snacks or play some billiards.

If you’re looking for a great dream town to visit, be sure to check out Scarlett. The dream address again is 4600-2362-5644.

After I updated my own town dream town (dream address 4300-2003-9889), Luna told me that Lotus from Coral was my most recent dream visitor. Caitlin from Cesadius also visited recently.

I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow for Friday Night Forest.
