Another Gift From Ian

Big Top asked me to make a delivery to Rolf, so I headed over to the tiger’s den. I gave him the package, and he offered to play a game with me. If I could guess what the package contained, he would give me a prize. I guessed furniture, and I was right. So he gave me a lil bro’s tee, which is the Luigi shirt.

Rolf: It's a li'l bro's tee! If you don't like my gift, just act like I gave you pajamas instead!I put the shirt on and continued my walk around town. After having two gem rocks in recent days, I have a lot of ore waiting to be sold in Re-Tail. The animals can’t buy them quick enough for me to unload my supply!

I went up to Main Street to update my dream town. While I was there, Luna told me that Faith from Dogwood recently enjoyed my dream.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Faith from Dogwood enjoyed your dream.I met Ian’s character up at the Happy Homes Showcase once again, and this time he gave me a bubble wand.

Ian hands me a bubble wand in the Happy Homes Showcase.Ian’s house honestly isn’t all that special, but I love getting all these StreetPass items from him.

Me blowing bubbles.And just a reminder that Nan is still planning on moving out on Friday. Nobody has claimed her yet, so contact me if you want her.

Oakville 2.0

Today is the one-year anniversary of Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s release in America, so happy anniversary! I hope your towns are still going strong after one year!

Wendy decided to celebrate the anniversary of release day by restarting all over again. So last night, she came over to drop off her belongings in my town.

Jeff: Litterbug.And tonight, I opened up again so Wendy could pick her items back up. T. Zelda also dropped in, and she gave me some golden chess pieces. Thanks, TZ!

Gold chess pieces.Once Wendy was done picking her items back up, I went over to the all new Oakville. She has Gaston in her town, but his house looks a little run down.

Gaston: Ah! So the visitor from Forest I was hearing about is you?Wendy likes Gaston and Walker, but she doesn’t seem to care for her other villagers. Personally, I was just glad she didn’t have Eugene any more.

Message board post: Welcome back, Oakytown! Now 100% koala free!Walker is pretty cool. I never seem to get dog villagers.

Walker: I'm Walker! Are you a visitor?Wendy is living in a tent down by the river waterfall.

Wendy's tent overlooks a waterfall.Her town has a private beach, so I put on my wet suit and went down to claim the land for Forest.

Jeff: Property of Forest.Of course I forgot that one of the items she saved was a wet suit, so she was able to join me down there. She also dug up the seashells dead bodies I buried there. They weren’t ready yet!

It was starting to get late, so I headed home for the night. See you all next time!

Expert Bug Catcher Badge

This morning, Nan pinged me. When I spoke with her, she told me she’ll be moving out of town on the 13th of this month. That’s Friday the 13th!

Nan: So I wanted to talk to you about something... I'm leaving town on the 13th of this month.I tracked down Joan, and she was selling turnips for 98 bells apiece. I bought 1,200 of them.

Joan: So, 1,200 turnips comes out to be 117,600 bells altogether. Do you wanna buy them?I then dropped by Michelle’s town to sell her a hair-bow wig.

Michelle tries on her hair-bow wig.And when I deposited my money (mainly from selling my turnips yesterday) into the bank, my balance topped 14 million bells.

Your current balance is 14,160,000 bells.Over at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Nitza from Marina was my most recent dream visitor. When I returned to town, I saw Phineas over by my tulip topiary! He gave me the Expert Bug Catcher badge, which is silver.

I got the Expert Bug Catcher badge! It's proof I've caught a ton of bugs!I’ve had the corresponding fish badge for a while now, so I’ve figured I was getting close to this one. That’s why I’ve been trying to catch every bug I’ve seen lately. I bet some people have thought I was a bit odd when I’d visit their town to drop something off and then I randomly start catching their butterflies!

I must’ve been acting likeĀ Renfield from Dracula: Dead and Loving It!

Since it’s been a while since my last badge, here’s an updated look at all of my current badges:
