Forgotten Gift

Last Tuesday, Al showed up at the campsite. But I was not interested in this Donkey Kong-wannabe. (Louie is a better D.K. anyway.)

Al: You're from this town, aren't you?

On Friday, Boots asked me for some furniture. I ended up giving him a Mouth of Truth…one that he gave me last month!

Boots: Oh! A Mouth of Truth! This is so great, bro!

He didn’t seem to recognize it, and he seemed to love it. In fact, he gave me another copy of his photo to thank me.

The fireworks festival was held yesterday, and Isabelle gave me a bulb bopper to wear.

I walked over to the nearest bridge to get a nice unobstructed view of the fireworks.

Only New Leaf has these awesome heart-shaped fireworks. And look how this one lined up with the crescent moon. I ♥ it!

You can’t beat these.

Nibbles was camping at the campsite today, but she didn’t seem very excited about being in Forest.

Nibbles: I bet you weren't expecting to see super-stylish ME here! Actually, I wasn't expecting to be here either.
She was on the fence about visiting again.

Today is Rolf’s birthday, and I walked into Re-Tail with the intention of buying him a birthday present. But after I sold some stuff, encouraged a villager to buy some ore, and then displayed more ore for sale, Rolf’s gift completely slipped my mind.

I didn’t remember forgetting the gift until I walked into Rolf’s house, when it was already too late. I had no furniture in my pockets to give him, so I had to give him a work shirt that I found attached to a letter. He didn’t exactly seem thrilled with it.

Rolf: Oh, a work shirt? Well that's something I don't have a lot of experience with...

But I hope he had a good birthday regardless. At least Molly was also there to help him celebrate. Maybe she got him something better. 😛 But I didn’t stick around long; I ducked out of the party pretty quickly.

I tried using my shovel to eliminate some unwanted flowers…until I accidentally killed a golden rose. I grabbed a replacement from the beach, but my once-large collection of replacement gold roses is starting to dwindle down.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Enrique from Sweetown and Lukas from Hannover. Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you all next time!

Converse in Reverse

On Monday, I received a goodbye letter from Agent S in the mail. Not surprisingly, she sent me another copy of her photo.

On Tuesday, the entrance to Resetti’s lair was open. I dropped in for a visit, and I used the voice-activated system to send Resetti scrambling. 😉

Resetti: WHOA! What're ya doin'?!

Inkwell asked me to catch something from the ocean for him.

Inkwell: Hey, Jeff! If you catch something from the ocean, bring it to me!

So I tried to catch this large octopus I spotted almost instantly. 😉

That didn’t quite work, so I caught a sea butterfly for him instead. He rewarded me with a No. 1 shirt…just like the “1” I was already wearing.

Inkwell: Ha ha! A No. 1 shirt!

Over at the campsite, I was thrilled to find Jeremiah the blue frog! I just recently lost Hugh (a similarly-colored pig) in Wild World, and I figured this was a chance to make a new true blue buddy. So I invited him into town, even if it took a million tries. 🙂

Jeremiah: Awesome! I was hoping you'd say that. I'll move here then!

His house spot appeared yesterday, and he moved in today! He lives in the same exact spot where Agent S lived.

Jeremiah's house.
For blue animals only.

He is now officially a Forest resident! Welcome to town, Jeremiah! 🙂

Jeremiah: Since I had such a good time, and you suggested it, I decided to move here after all!

When I visited Cube, he asked me to fetch Boots for him. I agreed to help, but I soon noticed something odd about their conversation:

Boots: I picked up the thing that you wanted, Boots.

Boots was talking to himself? Actually it was worse than just a one-time mistake. Their speech bubbles were reversed for the entire conversation! At the end, “Cube” even said that it was time for him to go, because he needed to exercise!

Cube: Dude! Look at the time! I gotta go! It's almost ab-blaster hour!

Not only was it Cube’s house to begin with, but the real Cube is a lazy villager. Boots is the jock here, not Cube. Nintendo made an oopsie. 😛 Once the real Boots left, the real Cube gave me a modern wood closet for helping out.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors have included Riley from Riley and Sam from Moggy. Thanks for stopping by!

Party Cancelled

This past Saturday (July 2nd) was Agent S’s birthday. I wanted to celebrate with her one last time before she moved out. But I was very surprised to find that she wasn’t having a party! She was outside walking around like it was any other day!

In fact, she even complained that there was nothing exciting going on!

Agent S: BOO! There is NOTHING exciting going on right now. How in the world am I supposed to have fun?
So have a party! Duh.

Do villagers not have parties if they’re scheduled to move out soon? I knew if it was her actual moving day, she wouldn’t have the party…but it wasn’t her moving day yet. If any of you have experienced this, please leave a comment below!

On Sunday, Cherry invited me over to see her house. Unfortunately, I had to schedule an appointment to do it. 😂 But I did show up at the designated time, and I finally got to see the inside of her home. She has modern furniture and walls, along with a simple armchair and love seat, and a snowboard.

It was black and white and red all over. 😉

Yesterday, Saharah was in town. She installed a daisy meadow and a rococo wall. They both look nice, but it’s kind of an odd combination.

Today, I played again to say goodbye to Agent S. Forest will feel different without her. But I do still have her in New Horizons, so that will keep me from missing her too much. 😛

Agent S: Promise me you'll try to enjoy life in Forest without me. You'll have to have fun for the both of us!

There was a tent at the campsite, and I found Ankha inside!

Ankha: I'm just in town camping for a bit. I needed a little break from my hometown.

Since Agent S isn’t gone yet, I couldn’t adopt her. If she had come just one day later, I could have (and probably would have) adopted her! Another interesting note is that this is at least the 5th time Ankha has camped at my campsite! And all five times, my town has been full.

Anyway, there was a meteor shower in town tonight. I made sure to wish on a few shooting stars.

Wishing on a shooting star in ACNL.

According to Luna, my most recent dream visitor was Debbie from Happynes. Thanks for stopping by!
