53 Million Bells

Yesterday, Dizzy told me he was planning on moving out of town on October 10th. I made him change his mind.

Dizzy: Don't freak out, but I'm planning on moving away on the 10th of this month.And then tonight, my other elephant Big Top, also tried to move away! He said he was going to leave on October 12th. His request was also denied. What’s with Dizzy and Big Top? I know they’re both elephants, but the similarities don’t stop there. They always seem to be together, and now they’re both trying to leave at the same time.

Big Top: I'm leaving on the 12th of this month!Molly told me she’s been reading a book on interior design, and she said it’s got her creative juices flowing! Maybe she should play Happy Home Designer!

Molly: I've been reading a book on interior design. It's really got my creative juices flowing!After catching a few fish and bugs, I went up to the post office to deposit some money in the bank. My account balance reached 53 million bells. Only 47 million to go! 😛

Your current balance is 53,000,000 bells.My recent dream visitors were Jake from Florida (yesterday) and Troy from Forest (today). Thanks for stopping by, guys!

Just a reminder that Friday Night Forest is this week! I’ll be opening my gate around 10 p.m. Eastern time for people already on my 3DS friend roster.

Elephant Party

Yesterday was Big Top’s birthday, so I paid him a visit to help him celebrate.

Big Top: I'm so happy you're here to celebrate my birthday with me!He asked if I brought him a present, and I gave him a customized modern wardrobe. He didn’t say much about it; I don’t think he liked it.

But his buddy (and fellow elephant) Dizzy was also there to party with him.

Dizzy: Today's a day for celebrating Big Top!Outside, Pashmina was talking about the round topiary. Specifically, she was wondering who takes care of it and maintains it so perfectly.

Pashmina: It's always so perfect, but who exactly is taking care of the round topiary?Don’t ask too many questions, goat girl. It’s just a video game.

After catching a cricket, I saw something I wasn’t expecting. A silver slingshot floated by on two balloons, temporarily blocking my view of myself (and my cricket).

I caught a cricket! That's a sticky wicket, isn't it?When I got the flashy-flower sign the other day, the Emporium was closed. So I didn’t get to look in the catalog to see if it could be ordered. But I gave it a look now, and it can indeed be ordered (for 1,200 bells). That’s good news, because now I don’t feel obligated to keep it in storage for eternity. 😛

Flashy-flower sign: 1,200 bells.Today, I did not play early enough in the day to buy turnips.

Peck asked me for some fruit, and I gave him a perfect cherry. He enjoyed it, and he rewarded me with a gently used king. Gently used?

Peck: Here you go! It's a gently used king! Enjoy!Annalise was camping at the campsite today. I’m not really that familiar with her…but my town was full anyway, so I couldn’t have invited her in even if I had wanted to.

Annalise: You're from Forest, right?Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Teddy from Wisteria was my most recent dream visitor. Yesterday’s visitor was Madelene from Barkbank.

 

The Elusive Centipede

I got a letter from Wishy the shooting star today, and it contained a covered wagon. I’m pretty sure that’s not what I wished for, but thanks anyway, Wishy.

Yesterday, I forgot to include a picture of my jack-o’-lantern design as my town flag, so here it is.

My jack-o'-lantern flag at town hall.Daisy told me she recently saw a picture of a beautiful centipede. Wait, what? Anyway, she told me she was now obsessed with centipedes (worst hobby ever) and she wanted me to catch one for her.

Daisy: I saw a picture of this beautiful centipede, and now I'm completely obsessed!I agreed to help her out, but I soon came to regret it. I was banging rocks all across town, over and over again. But no centipedes were showing up! It must have taken a dozen trips around town before I finally found one for her. And when I took it back to her, she only gave me an aurora knit shirt! All that work for a shirt?

Velma approached me and told me she wanted to move out of town on October 6th. Uh, not before you suggest some PWPs for me!

Velma: I'll always think of this as the town where I got really good at singing very loudly.I decided to decorate my main room for Halloween. I quickly discovered how awkward it is moving furniture around in New Leaf, compared to Happy Home Designer. But the basketball stuff is now gone. In its place, I put up a bunch of spooky masks. I can’t help it, I like saving lots of headgear.

Masks and pumpkin heads.
