April Fool’s Day 2015

Today is April Fool’s Day, and it didn’t take long for my villagers to start playing pranks on me. Aurora told me Forest now has enough money to buy the town next door.

Aurora: I've got big news! I just heard that Forest has enough money to buy the town next door!Early April also brings pink cherry blossoms on many of the trees in town. Very pretty!

Pink trees.That even includes the town tree in the event plaza.

The pink town tree.I spotted Blanca nearby, and she (?) told me she was about to play some pranks on my villagers!

Blanca: I'll change myself to look just like someone in this town, and then I'll pay that person a surprise visit!I went to visit Kabuki, and there were two of him in his house! One was the real Kabuki, and the other was Blanca in disguise.

Kabuki: Maybe if you would stop being such a jerky faker, we could both just move on!They will each make a statement that you can use to determine who is who. For example, they might say their favorite quote, birthday, or their talent. If you don’t know the answer, you can tell them you don’t know, and then ask again for a different set of statements. I got the question right, so Blanca was revealed.

Blanca: I'm the fake one! That's a bummer! You figured out it was me!Kabuki thanked me for knowing him well enough to know he was the real Kabuki, and he gave me his picture as my reward.

Kabuki: Here's a token of my appreciation, a picture of me, yarnball!I took the picture home and read his favorite quote, “If you make your opponent flinch, you have already won.”

If you make your opponent flinch, you have already won.I repeated the process for each villager. Sprinkle told the truth when she said this town can’t handle more than one of her!

Sprinkle: You need to STOP pretending you're me. This town can't handle more than one Sprinkle!Many of the pictures I received were duplicates, so I took them up to my trophy room in the museum. But I was unable to put any of them down in this room! Apparently, there must be a limit of how many items can go in a room.

You can't put out any more furniture here!I put them in a different museum exhibit for the time being.

When I visited Drago, he and his clone were reciting his favorite quote. The real one states his correct quote, which fit the situation perfectly: “There is no room for two dragons in one pond.”

Drago: There is no room for two dragons in one pond.I got my first eight villagers correct, and there was only one to go: Dizzy. The problem is that since Dizzy is fairly new, I didn’t know his birthday or quote, and I didn’t have any of the other clues either. I kept skipping the statements until they got to the favorite quotes. One of them said “All that glitters is not gold.” That did not strike me as something that Dizzy would say. So I handed him the washcloth to wipe off his face…and I was right! That was the fake one! I ended up a perfect nine-for-nine!

Blanca: I'm the fake one! That's no fun! You saw right through my disguise each and every time!Dizzy gave me his picture and told me he’ll visit me in my dreams. Uhh, that’s not necessary…

Dizzy: A huh huh huh! It's a photo of me! Put it under your pillow, and maybe I'll come visit you in your dreams!Dizzy’s real favorite quote is “Keep it mellow.”

Keep it mellow.After I was done, I found Blanca outside once again. She warned me to be ready for her again next year.

Blanca: How did you manage to do that?! I worked so hard to fool everyone, and you saw right through me!I should be getting Blanca’s picture in the mail tomorrow. Last year, I didn’t get them all correct, so this will be my first time receiving it. See you then!

Oh, and just to add: David from DC was my most recent dream visitor.

Out Like a Lamb

A message posted on the bulletin board serves as a reminder that Bunny Day (Easter) is coming up on April 5th (Sunday).

~ Notice ~ On April 5th, Zipper T. Bunny will be arriving in Forest!I got a letter from Molly, and she thanked me for the medicine I took her. She sent me a little gift, but I wasn’t very happy to receive it; it was a moldy shirt. Ew.

I found Saharah in town today, and I hired her to put in some new wallpaper and carpeting. She went with a blue-trim wall and a diner tile.

A blue-trim wall and diner tile.Today’s most recent dream visitor was Fran from Xerain. Yesterday’s visitor when I checked was Gabe from Panem.

Not much else was going on in town tonight. In terms of excitement, March is going out like a lamb. But tomorrow promises to be more eventful. Cherry blossoms will be in bloom, making some trees pink. And of course, it’s April Fool’s Day! Blanca will have some tricks in store for us, so I’ll be back with a longer blog entry tomorrow.

Topknot Wig – Nintendo Zone DLC

Pete greeted me outside my house today; he gave me a letter from Nintendo. Now through April 11th, a topknot wig is available at Nintendo Zone locations (at least in America).

From 3/29 to 4/11, the topknot wig is available via Nintendo Zone!So I went to check it out, and Pelly gave me the wig.

Pelly: Sorry to keep you waiting! I hope you enjoy your new topknot wig!I tried it on, but I was not happy with how it looked on me. Even the ogre’s wig looked better on me than this!

Me wearing the topknot wig.The good news is that it can be ordered from the catalog for 1,200 bells. Of course, I don’t plan on ever wearing it again. Maybe it will look better on some of you than it did on me.

Topknot wig - 1,200 bells.For the third day in a row, one of my villagers tried to move out! This time, it was Kabuki, who wanted to move out on April 3rd. I threatened him by telling him I’d make him wear the topknot wig if he didn’t stick around.

Kabuki: Oh, you're gonna try and stop me?!Over by my eastern bridge (near where Kidd used to live), I found a lost item on the ground.

Finding a lost item on the ground.After unsuccessfully asking Big Top and Sprinkle about it, I found its owner on my third attempt. The pouch belonged to my squirrel friend Agent S. I bet she keeps her nuts in it.

Agent S: Hey! My fancy pouch!She thanked me for returning it, and she gave me a hot spring tee as my reward.

After completing my walk around town, I headed up to Main Street. I updated my dream town in the Dream Suite, and Luna told me that Ahri from Erias was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for visiting!
