Gull on the Beach

The owl on the bulletin board alerted me to a new message, so I flew over to check it out. It’s something Madisyn wrote last night.

Wordle 2 ur murtle. TURTLE. -Madisyn from JohtoWhat a hoot. I actually saw her writing something, but I forgot to check it out at the time.

By my fountain, Rolf let me know that he saw Gulliver down on the beach.

Rolf: A moment ago, I saw a guy named Gulliver all washed up on the beach!Rolf was actually getting worried about that crazy bird.

Rolf: He said he was fine, so I left him there, but...now I'm kinda worried about him!That was kind of cute, but he doesn’t need to worry about Gulliver. Gulliver has flown UFOs around the galaxy and been shot out of the sky countless times! A little sand isn’t going to hurt him; he’s a tough bird.

I was asked to put up a QR code of my current blue/black brick path, and I was actually surprised I didn’t have the code for it up already. So here it is if anyone is interested:

Gulliver: It has the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre... Art's just comin' out their noses!

Learning to Shush

Rolf asked me to collect signatures for a petition today. The cause? “Learning to Shush.”

Rolf: I'm out collecting signatures for Learning to Shush, but it's not an easy job.I agreed to help him out, but I finished my walk around town first. Those flowers still needed to be watered, after all. Speaking of which, I’m wondering if I should switch back to the beautiful town ordinance soon. I haven’t seen much rain lately, and the dry autumn season is approaching. I’ll probably make the change once September starts.

When I spoke with Aurora, she told me that she thinks centipedes are beautiful! I couldn’t disagree more! I think they’re just about the creepiest things not named Tabby.

Aurora: I saw a picture of this beautiful centipede, and now I'm completely obsessed!Still, I told her I’d catch one for her. But first, I had a petition to get signed. I saw that Squishy was online, so I asked her if I could collect signatures in her town Cosmic. She agreed, so I headed over there.

Arriving in Squishy's town Cosmic.She said her town was a work in progress, but I think it’s looking great. I really liked her “No Ugly Animals” sign.

Sign: Cosmic Camp Site -- No Ugly Animals!As I began collecting signatures, it started to feel like I was in my Animal Crossing GameCube town! That’s because the first two villagers I spoke with were Genji and Tom, who have both lived in my GameCube town for a decade or so.

Genji: I'm Genji! I hope to see you around more often! Otaku!It was nice seeing them again.

Tom: Hmm? I haven't seen you before. You new here or something?Squishy not only has a Sphinx and a pyramid, but also a sandy-looking pattern around them to make it look like a desert. This is something I’ve been planning in my town for a long time too. I’ll get around to it someday!

A Sphinx in the Cosmic desert.Mitzi provided my sixth and final signature.

Mitzi: Don't get so excited that you forget to turn in your form.Here’s a look at the completed petition:

Petition signatures: Genji, Tom, Rocket, Chadder, Carmen, Mitzi.As much as I would have liked to explore her town more, it was nearly 1:00 a.m. her time, so I didn’t want to stay too late. So I returned to Forest and went on my shopping run. That included a stop at the Dream Suite, where Luna told me that Jasmine from Soma was my most recent dream visitor.

I then returned to Rolf and gave him the petition. He thanked me and rewarded me with a fan palm. I’m not going to lie, that was a very disappointing reward.

Rolf: Nice! Now I can submit the petition for Learning to Shush!I then went around banging rocks until a centipede popped out. I snagged it with my net and took it to Aurora. She rewarded me with a blue tartan tee…also a disappointing prize.

Aurora: It's a blue tartan tee.Later on, Jessica told me that she had a petition that needed signatures too! So I opened up my gate for her. But when someone entered, it wasn’t Jessica, but Madisyn.

Madisyn arrives in Forest.She wanted to do some shopping, so she went up to Main Street. Soon after she left, Jessica came in. She collected her signatures and beat me with a hammer to thank me. So nice of her. 😛 After she got her signatures, I ended the session for the night.

Saving the Bacon

Even though hump day isn’t until tomorrow, Saharah the camel was in town today. I paid her 3,000 bells and she installed an office wall and a playroom rug in my house.

An office wall and playroom rug.Outside, I met up with Gala the pig. She told me she was going to move out of town on August 24th.

Gala: On the 24th of this month, I'm venturing out into the world.I wasn’t sure if I should tell her to go or stay, so I had to think about it for a minute. Ultimately, I decided I would like to get her villager picture first. So I asked her to stay in town for now. She should thank me for saving her bacon!

Gala: Maybe it isn't the right time to move after all. Thanks for helping me realize that, ham.I found a gem rock today, so I filled up Re-Tail with a bunch of ore to sell to my villagers. Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Marko from Sunville was my most recent dream visitor. And in the Happy Homes Showcase, Ian gave me another tweeter!

Getting a tweeter from Ian.This will be a great addition to my future StreetPass item giveaway stash. In addition to the tweeter, it will also include a couple balloons, a couple pinwheels, a bubble wand, and an ice cream cone.
