Saturday Town Hopping

Tom had his gate open when I started up the game today, so I headed over to Tomville for a visit. His friend Goldcity was also there, and it looked like his eyes never opened. But he was just using an uncommon face that I rarely see anyone using.

Goldcity's uncommon eyes.Tony also came to visit, while I was speaking with Savannah the zebra.

Savannah: My name is Savannah! I'm a resident here, y'all.However, Tom noticed some of his flowers were missing, so he disconnected us. He said his flowers returned after the disconnection. He reopened his gate, and I returned. Tom’s friend Jules also came over for a visit, and it was good to see her again.

Jules visiting Tomville.But after a few minutes, we got disconnected; it was surely an accidental one this time. But at this point, I decided to take a break from the game for a bit.

Later on, I returned to find Saharah in my town. I paid her for some wallpaper and carpet, and she installed this kitschy wall and backyard lawn in my house.

A kitschy wall and backyard lawn.Molly asked me for some furniture, and I gave her an emperor butterfly that I had in my pockets. She thanked me and rewarded me with her picture!

Molly: Here's my Molly's pic! Thank you so much for helping me!Octavian was nearby, and I heard the sound of a flea jumping on him. I got my net out and caught the flea. He responded “Thanks, sucker!” But was he talking to me or the flea?

Octavian: I was wondering why I was so itchy! Thanks, sucker!Over by my modern clock, Agent S had already heard about the flea!

Agent S: So, Sweet-J, I heard you have a flea.She offered to give me a raglan shirt for it, and I accepted the trade. But then Gala noticed that I had a raglan shirt!

Gala: I'm not really sure what a raglan shirt looks like. I'm painting without a reference.She gave me a vertigo tee for it, but the chain ended there. Nobody wanted the vertigo tee. 😀

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Josh from Sundown was my most recent dream visitor. And in Club LOL, I checked out the Saturday night music performance. I asked K.K. for a random song, and he played Steep Hill for me. Good choice.

K.K. performs for me and Benedict.Madisyn told me that she just got her tweeter, and then she opened her gate. But I was too slow, as her town filled up before I got there. But she let me know when someone left, so I visited with Madisyn and Laile. While Laile was writing on the bulletin board, I released a moth.

Releasing a moth on Laile and Madisyn.I explored the town a bit.

Exploring Madisyn's town Johto.And I met Lucky, the bandaged (mummy?) dog.

Lucky: I'd offer you a snack, but I'm fresh out. Next time, I'll be sure to have more on hand, rockin.He has a lot of Egyptian furniture…and then a lovely bed?

Jeff: The lovely bed is so out of place.In the train station, Madisyn and Laile put on their wet suits.

Madisyn and Laile putting on wet suits.And they spotted a giant down on the dock!

A giant-sized Jeff on the dock.After a very brief trip out to the island, I left the town of Johto.

I went to visit Wendy’s town a bit later, where I met Kiki.

Kiki: My name is Kiki! I'm a resident here, you pig.There was a meteor shower in Wendy’s town of Pawnee, so I stopped to wish on a shooting star. But who’s that sneaking up on me?!

Wendy (wearing Majora's Mask) sneaks up behind me.Majora Wendy sat on a stump and peed used a watering can.

Wendy uses her watering can while sitting on a stump.I gave Wendy some bushes and cedar saplings I had for her, and once she was finished planting them, we went back to Forest. Wendy had some pears to sell, and she also did some shopping. While on Main Street, she realized how my former villager Yuka got her name.

Wendy: YukalyptusWe then finished up with a quick trip out to the island, where we went on a beetle-catching tour. Wendy won.

Tortimer: Wendy gets 2 medals, and Jeff gets 1 medal!After that, I ended the session. Before Re-Tail closed for the night, I went in and sold my turnips for a rather large loss. I was checking with everyone that was on today, but nobody had decent prices. And this was the first week that I bought 3,000 turnips instead of my usual 1,000, too. What a pain.

Taming the Tiger

I saw something buried by my tree stump today, so I dug it up. It turns out, it was a rare mushroom!

Look! I dug up a rare mushroom!When I went past Rolf’s house, I saw that he was home today. That’s pretty unusual, so I went inside to say hello. There was a reason he was indoors: He’s sick!

Rolf: ...Ham, we're only been buds a short time, but I think my cheese is baked.I ran into Sprinkle on my central bridge, and she told me she was planning on moving out on September 3rd.

Sprinkle: I know it's totally out of the blue, and I hope I don't shock you. But I'm thinking of moving.I had to stop and think about what I was going to tell her. As tempting as it was to let her leave, I decided to keep her around until I get her villager picture.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Becca from Westeros was my most recent dream visitor. Later on, I took a chessboard rug over to George. Or maybe that’s King George?

Visiting King George.After putting the game away for a few hours, I remembered that I still needed to buy medicine for Rolf! So I bought some from the Emporium and then headed over that way. I made a stop in Kidd’s house to say hello, and I saw that Big Top was also visiting him.

Big Top: Hey! You're here to hang out with Kidd too? Very cool, lil top!Kidd actually made a reference to someone who hasn’t been on my friend roster for a while. I guess once a name is in their memory, it’s there to stay. But after I was done chatting with Big Top and Kidd, I finally delivered the medicine to Rolf.

Rolf takes his medicine.He apologized for all the trouble. It’s kind of odd seeing a big tough tiger act so politely. It took a cold to tame the tiger.

Rolf: ...I'm very sorry... for all the trouble I'm causing you...

Up Late With Octavian

Gulliver sent me a Gaudi’s lizard in the mail from Spain today.

I was playing late at night once again, and Octavian questioned why I was out so late. He said it was his thing. Well it’s my thing too, octo-dude.

Octavian: What're you doing wandering around here all late at night?! That's my thing! GAHAHA!He told me he was redecorating his house and he asked me for some furniture. I decided to give him the only furniture I had on me: Gaudi’s lizard. He seemed to enjoy it, and he rewarded me by giving me some mosaic tile.

Octavian: Some mosaic tile! Thanks again for the help!There was a tent over at the campsite, so I went inside to check it out. O’Hare the bunny rabbit was inside. I’m just wondering how that hat fits on his head. Did he cut out some notches to make room for his ears or what?

O'Hare: I'm O'Hare, and I'm just enjoying my camping trip.Because of the late hour, not much was going on. It was too late to work at the cafe, not many animals were out, and the stores on Main Street were closed for the night too. But I went in the Dream Suite to check on my most recent dream visitor. Luna told me it was Jessica from Hawaii.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Jessica from Hawaii enjoyed your dream.Just as a reminder, there’s no Friday Night Forest tomorrow. Instead, I’ll be opening my gate on Sunday night around 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time for the final fireworks festival of the year.

In case you haven’t heard, Nintendo is releasing some DLC packs for Mario Kart 8 on Wii U soon. One of them will feature an Animal Crossing grand prix cup and it will let you race as Isabelle or Villager! Check out Jeff’s Gaming Blog for more information about that.
