October is Here

The other night, Rolf started thinking he was Tony the Tiger!

Rolf: So... They're grrrreat!Since it’s October now, I decided to change my path back to the black/orange bricks that I used last year. Tonight, the skies were clear and there was a meteor shower! I stopped to wish on a few shooting stars.

Wishing on a shooting star.I ran into Jack himself! He’s out to recruit helpers for Halloween.

Jack: Hee hee! I am the mighty czar of Halloween, Jack!He gave me a bug mask to get me started, so I went ahead and put it on.

Labelle: The ghost mask? Ooh, good choice!Since the game gives Jack a full week to find helpers (even though he will only show up once), October 1st through 7th are considered event days. So you can not work at the cafe until October 8th.

Brewster: Sorry... I don't really need any help right this moment...I tried to make a new pattern for Halloween, a jack-o’-lantern face.

Flashy Flower Sign DLC

Pete met me outside my house today with a letter from Nintendo. Now through October 10th, a flashy-flower sign is available at Nintendo Zone locations.

From 9/27 to 10/10, the flashy-flower sign is available via Nintendo Zone!Peck asked me for some fruit, so I gave him a perfect cherry. He loved it, and he rewarded me with a gold stereo.

Peck: This is sooo good!Agent S told me that she could make Forest more famous by moving away, and she was planning to leave on October 2nd. I don’t care about making the town famous; you’re staying right here, Agent S.

Agent S: By leaving Forest, I can make it more famous!Dizzy approached me and gave me a free gift: a lacy white tank. Uhh what? To make matters worse, he said it reminded him of me. What the heck??

Dizzy: Since you're always helping me out, I got you a lacy white tank!Tonight was the night of the harvest moon, known as the autumn moon in Animal Crossing. Isabelle was at the event plaza, handing out wheat bundles.

Isabelle: The autumn moon is the full moon that's closest to the autumnal equinox!Isabelle was talking about visiting the moon someday!

Isabelle: I've decided! Someday I'm going to the moon!I stopped for a moment to take a look up at the moon. Maybe someday we’ll be there playing Lunar Crossing.

The full harvest moon in the sky.There was also a face-cutout standee for the event. Look, I’m a scarecrow.

At the post office, I picked up my Nintendo Zone DLC.

Pelly: I hope you enjoy your new flashy-flower sign!I wasn’t sure if it was like a fire flower or maybe even a neon sign, so I took it home to check it out. Unfortunately, it’s not as cool as I hoped. You can also see my wheat bundle in this picture.

Selling Turnips in Tomville

Yesterday, Aurora told me she was going to move out of town on September 28th! But I quickly changed her mind for her.

Aurora: I've decided to move on the 28th of this month.Velma told me she was skeptical of anything she doesn’t see with her own eyes. I’m guessing she means through her glasses too, because she may not be able to see very well otherwise.

Velma: I'm skeptical of anything I don't see with my own eyes.At the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Finnius from Forest was my most recent dream visitor.

Today, Tom’s Re-Tail was buying turnips for 149 bells apiece, so he invited me over to sell my turnips.

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 149 bells.His friends Vicky and Vanessa were also there. I was the only one not wearing any weird headgear.

Everyone wearing weird hats or headgear except me.Tom really only opened to let me sell turnips, so he quickly ended the session after I was done. When I returned to Forest, I had some money bags weighing down my pockets, so I deposited some serious bells into my bank account. My balance topped 52 million bells.

Your current balance is 52,400,000 bells.The perfect peach tree in front of the coffee shop died when I shook down the peaches today, but I decided to leave it like that. I thought the dead tree might be a nice decoration with Halloween season approaching.

A dead peach tree.Pecan had a tent set up at the campsite. Of course my town is full anyway, but I still at least said hello. Even if Pecan is a nut.

Pecan: Hey, are you from around here?Just to let you all know, My Happy Home Designer Blog is now online! Please give it a look! I’ll be updating it almost daily, at least for a while. I hope you enjoy it! And don’t worry, I’ll still continue updating this blog too!
