Sprinkle’s Stool

This is going to be a very short blog entry. Not much was going on in Forest tonight, so I went up to the Dream Suite to visit a couple of dream towns that have been suggested to me. One of them was very unique and made me laugh a few times. I’ll be posting a Dream Suite Adventure of that town sometime in January, so keep an eye out.

 When I woke up and returned to my town, Sprinkle asked me for some small furniture. I didn’t have any on me, so I caught a crucian carp for her.

Sprinkle: Putting a fish in my room is so totally aqua-chic!She thanked me and rewarded me with her stool. Uh, thanks.

Sprinkle: It's a stool! Thanks so much!Tomorrow night is New Year’s Eve, so I’ll be playing New Leaf and I’ll probably open my gate at some point before midnight. Perhaps around 11:30pm Eastern time, but I’m not 100% sure. But if you’re on my roster and see my gate open, feel free to drop by!

Igloo Static

I visited Molly today, and she was sitting down as I spoke with her. That doesn’t happen very often! Usually animals will be standing up and walking around. Anyway, she was talking about her bug, wondering if it would come if she called it.

Molly: If I take good care of my bug, do you think someday it will come when I call it? Here, Skippy!There was an igloo set up at the campsite, and my old friend Static was inside!

Static: Camping in the winter! It's a battle against the elements!Static has lived in my GameCube town for many years, and I like him a lot. Even if he is a big grump some most of the time. And in the GameCube game, igloos (unlike tents) are filled by your own town residents. So it’s not unusual for me to see Static in an igloo. But as for New Leaf, my town is full and I couldn’t ask him to move in. Oh well, maybe another time.

I played a game with him, where I had to choose a card to determine the price he would pay for my regal chair. I chose the “club” card, and I won! He paid 2,708 bells for it.

Static: This is gonna bite into my traveling badget, but rules are rules... Here ya go--2,708 bells.Rolf was talking about something he saw on TV about nail art. He couldn’t figure out why anyone would do that to their nails claws.

Rolf: Why would anyone grow their claws so long and sharp like that?Rolf: Claws are only for catching prey and striking fear into your enemies! GAHAHA! Tiger!I saw that Saharah was in town, so I hired her to redecorate my house. But before I went home, I made her follow me around. I saw two snowballs, so I stopped to make a snowmam as Saharah had no choice but to follow along.

Snowmam: I'm PERFECT!
Uh, nobody’s perfect. :/

Once we reached my house, Saharah installed a red tile and a library wall in my main room.

A red tile and library wall.Big Top asked me for a horse mackerel, so I went down to the ocean to catch one. It didn’t take me very long, so I quickly took it to Forest’s resident elephant. He thanked me by giving me a bird feeder.

Big Top: It's a bird feeder! Hope you like it!A bird feeder? Agent S just gave a birdbath yesterday. What’s going on? Do my villagers think I’m running a bed and breakfast for birds? Or are they just trying to ruffle my feathers?

I went up to the Dream Suite to update my dream town, and while I was there, Luna told me Sadie from Shrews was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

Becoming Amelia’s Enemy

This morning, Joan was selling turnips for 109 bells apiece. Despite the high price, I bought 2,000 turnips from her.

Joan: The asking price is 109 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?This evening, Agent S asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek with her. I agreed, and she gave me 15 minutes to find her, Amelia, and Sprinkle.

Agent S: Here are the rules: the three of us here will hide, and you'll have 15 minutes to find us. Got it?I quickly found Amelia and then Agent S up a tree.

Agent S: Wow, I thought I was totally seek proof, up a tree.Three minutes later, I found Sprinkle hiding behind the zen bell. She seemed disgusted by the sight of me.

Sprinkle: Eeeek! Yuck, youMy pockets were full, but Agent S told me she’d mail my prize to me. And indeed, it was in my mailbox when I returned to my house. She sent me a birdbath! But I don’t think I’ll fit in it…

Agent S: But you can't carry anything more, can you? Don't worry, I'll send your prize in the mail!When Amelia insulted my clothes yesterday, she made herself a new enemy. I’ve been fairly neutral towards her, but now that I see how rude she is, all bets are off. So I introduced her to my golden net. Solid gold, like a hit record. The hits just keep coming! She didn’t appreciate the hits, though, and she threatened me! Did you hear that, everyone? Amelia Airhead is threatening me!

Amelia: Hey! Bonk me with that thing again, Jeff, and I'll show you how to actually use it!First she said I “bonked” her, and then she said I “plonked” her. I guess her vocabulary is limited to words that end in “onk.” Maybe next, she’ll say she’s gotta donk.

Amelia: Hey! I hope you're just clumsy and not straight-up mean. It's not nice to plonk someone like that.I got tired of messing with her though, so I moved on to some more intelligent town residents: The snowmen. I rolled a 4 and a 6 for snowman bingo.

My two bingo snowmen.I later saw Amelia again, this time down on the beach. Maybe the hits to the head caused her to see stars, because she swore she saw some UFOs.

Amelia: I'm with you, Jeff. I've seen the UFOs. Late at night. When everything is quiet...
