Kabuki’s Birthday

Big Top mentioned having a dream about Peggy from Sixpence. He said she was a real bell-pincher. Luna later confirmed that Peggy was my most recent dream visitor.

Big Top: The other night, Peggy from Sixpence showed up in my dream!Today is Kabuki’s birthday! Rolf was visiting him to help him celebrate. Happy birthday, Kabuki!

Rolf helping Kabuki celebrate his birthday.I gave him a customized classic table as his birthday present. He really seemed to like it.

Kabuki: The present you gave me really hits me right in the ol' "feel good" part of my soul, meooo-OH!Rolf seemed to be mainly interested in the cake, though.

Rolf: Birthdays are definitely things worth celebrating, if only for cake!Back outside, Big Top said the cloudy weather was making his brain cloudy too. I know what you mean; the weather can affect your mood sometimes.

Big Top: I always get kind of spacey on days like today. Is the cloudiness outside making my brain cloudy too?After finishing my rounds, I headed up to Main Street. The shops were closed, but I stopped in Club LOL for some live music. I asked K.K. for a random song and he performed K.K. Parade for me and Rory.

The King is a Crook!

As I started up the game today, I saw that Tom was online. We said hello, and he asked if he could visit Forest for a bit. I opened my gate and King Tom came over.

King Tom arrives.I began my walk around town, and then Tom called me over to the zen bell. He had glitched himself into it.

Tom glitched into my zen bell.He asked me to save the game, and that ended up killing him.

Tom dying.He reappeared at town hall, and he told me to push him into/onto town hall. He was then flying high above the ground like Mary Poppins.

Hovering Tom.Once he came back down to Earth, he went to my house to check out my cornucopia. He missed one of the secret ingredients during the harvest festival yesterday, so he didn’t get one of his own. After that, he decided to break into my safe!

Tom41: I broke into ur safe. XDOh no, he stole my precious picture of Tabby! After he was done robbing my house, he said he wanted to visit another town…probably to continue his crime spree elsewhere. So I ended the session.

Later on, I found Saharah in town. I paid her for new wallpaper and carpeting, and she put in a classic wall and a mossy carpet. The wallpaper was nothing special, but I like the mossy carpet. It might be good for a dungeon or something, so I decided to keep it in storage.

A classic wall and mossy carpet.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Clayton from Lebanon was my most recent dream visitor.

Harvest Festival 2014

Today is the day of the harvest festival, also known as Thanksgiving. Aurora was quite excited about it.

Aurora: Today is our Harvest Festival! I've been waiting all month for this.Outside, Amelia was so busy eating that she would barely even speak to me.

Amelia: Oh! Excuse me. I don't want to talk with my mouth full.But the third bird I spoke with is the star of the show: Franklin the turkey.

Franklin: I'm the guy they call Franklin. Your secretary hired me to come and cook for everyone.He doesn’t want anyone eating turkey for the festival, for obvious reasons. So instead, he’s here to cook some other food for everyone to pig out on. For each dish, Franklin requires three ingredients. In my town, he started out with a fruit salad. So I had to find some vinegar, an orange, and an apple for him.

Some of the villagers will be doing some cooking of their own. Invariably, they’ll be in need of a certain ingredient (usually a fish). Track down what they need and they’ll exchange it for another ingredient that you may need.

Drago: Well, in return, I'll give you my butter. Enjoy it!They will also tell you a secret ingredient to use for a dish to make it outstanding. For the fruit salad, I learned that the secret ingredient is honey (which you can get from a beehive).

Sprinkle: Yay! You've made this penguin so happy. Here. You can have my beehive in return!Before long, I got all the ingredients I needed and Franklin was able to make the fruit salad.

Franklin: Let's get cooking!Franklin gave me a fruit basket as a reward. The next dish was mushroom bisque, which required milk, a flat mushroom, and a round mushroom. The secret ingredient was butter. After it was done, Franklin gave me a harvest chair.

The main course was seared barred knifejaw. It required butter, a round mushroom, and of course, a barred knifejaw. The secret ingredient when cooking fish can be either vinegar or a lemon. I already have a lemon tree, so that was the easier choice for me. It turned out great!

Franklin: Thanks to you, I came up with what might be the absolute greatest seared barred knifejaw of my life!Franklin rewarded me with a harvest rug this time. The last dish was the dessert: coconut tart. I had to collect sugar, a coconut, a lemon, and honey for the secret ingredient. It took me a few attempts to acquire the sugar, and I already had everything else. So we put it all together and voila! The feast is done, all ready to eat!

The meal is complete!For getting all four dishes perfect (including the secret ingredients), Franklin gave me a cornucopia.

Franklin: Therefore, go ahead and take this cornucopia off my hands as thanks! Gobble gob!Here’s a look at my cornucopia and fruit basket on my table:

The cornucopia and fruit basket.Since I didn’t clean up all my ingredients I left on the ground, I didn’t update my dream town tonight. But I still went up to the Dream Suite to check on my most recent dream visitor, and Luna told me it was Emma from Paradise.

I hope you all had a fun and successful harvest festival! And for those of you in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving!
