Mummification

Today, I got a balloon from someone I StreetPassed.

Me and my new balloon at the Happy Homes Showcase.But while I was running through the Happy Homes Showcase, I tripped and fell…and lost my balloon. I guess my character is having a bad luck day. Anyway, I noticed there was a new SpotPass home. It belongs to Dano from Alexis. Dano has all four Brewstoids in this room. It’s making me hungry…

Dano's food room, with four Brewstoids enjoying the snacks.And he had a raccoon figurine standing at a men’s toilet.

The cat band is about to perform.When I went to the Roost, I saw Kidd in there. He was telling me about the “magic hour.” And I started to question if his cup was full of coffee or something else.

Kidd: The dim skyline you see after the sun sets over the horizon's edge is a time called "the magic hour."The Able Sisters had a mummy shirt for sale, so I bought it. I put it on, along with my mummy mask and mummy pants I had in storage.

Me dressed up as a mummy.I started to freak out that I only had one eye, but I managed to decompose myself.

At the Dream Suite, I visited the dream town of someone I once StreetPassed. My ACCF friend Rowan was there.

Rowan: When I look at your face, I can tell you're not an enemy! Just try to be less serious! Shiznit!And Bob was also there.

Bob: I haven't cleaned my place at all, but this is a dream, so who cares?When I returned to my town, I updated my dream and I saw that Emily from Sheerio was my most recent dream visitor. Hi Emily!

I got a letter congratulating me for reaching 100,000 bells in the bank. They sent me a box of tissues. Despite how it may look, I did not make my mummy suit out of the tissues.

Me dressed as a mummy, standing next to a box of tissues.I stopped in to see Teddy, and he was sick again today.

Teddy: Ugh... Are these chills happening because I have a cold or because I'm too muscular?I went to the Emporium to get him some medicine and gave it to him. Hopefully he’ll start feeling better soon.

Modern Train Station Reconstruction

Last night, Wendy came over to check out the T&T Emporium. While in Gracie Grace, Gracie was standing in front of Gabi and it looked like Gracie had rabbit ears.

A new black rose I found in town today.And I saw that the train station reconstruction has been completed!

My new modern train station!I then went up to Main Street to get my fossils identified and to go shopping. While updating my dream town, I saw that Epic Gal from Pikachu was the most recent visitor to my dream town.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Epic Gal from Pikachu enjoyed your dream.Next, I went in T&T Emporium. I like the revolving door!

Going through the revolving door at T&T Emporium.I went up to Gracie Grace to see if the stock had changed. In City Folk, Gracie Grace’s inventory would stay the same for three months at a time. Fortunately, that’s not the case in New Leaf, as most of today’s items are different from the items offered yesterday. (The shoes/boots remained the same, however).

Today's selection of items at GracieGrace.Before I left the Emporium, I bought some medicine for Teddy. He was feeling sick today, so this medicine helped him feel a little bit better.

Teddy jumps into the air as he takes his medicine.And then later tonight, I remembered to attend the ceremony for the opening of the train station’s reconstruction. Molly, Kidd, Canberra, and Benedict joined me, Isabelle, and Porter for the ceremony.

Everybody fires off party poppers at the completion ceremony for the train station reconstruction.That wrapped up my day in Forest, but I’ll be back with more soon. I do want to point out that I’ve updated my town page now. In addition to adding pictures of T&T Emporium and my train station reconstruction, the town history section now has links to the blog entry where each event happened. So feel free to explore Forest’s history. I’ll see you all next time.

T&T Emporium Grand Opening

Today is the day that T&T Emporium opens up!

The outside of T&T Emporium.I went inside to check it out, and Tommy welcomed me to the grand opening. I noticed that they sell two K.K. songs each day now.

Two K.K. songs on sale inside T&T Emporium.And on the right side, Leif is there selling his gardening supplies. I bought some fertilizer, but it costs a whopping 1,600 bells!

Leif: The price is umm... Ah yes! Right! It's 1,600 bells! Are you gonna buy it?I then went upstairs and saw that T&T Emporium has three floors!

Top Floor: GracieGrace. 2F: Home Decorating. 1F: Daily Necessities & GardeningThis is what the second floor looks like. I bought the spooky clock.

Five pieces of furniture, two wallpapers, and two carpets on sale on the 2nd floor.I then went up to Gracie Grace on the third floor of T&T Emporium. Gracie thanked me once again for the help in opening up her store.

Gracie: Aren't you a sight for sore eyes! Thanks to you, I've decided to open my boutique here in town.This is what she was selling today; the sweets furniture is the current set that’s in season right now.

Some sweets furniture items for sale at GracieGrace.Of course, her prices are still extreme. It’s hard to justify paying 124,000 bells for wallpaper.

Gracie: Deliciously stylish, don't you think? I'm selling this little number for 124,000 bells.Of course, you can’t try shoes and boots on, but she does encourage you to gently stroke them. Uhhh…

Gracie: I wish I could let you try them on, but the best you can do is gently stroke them.I bought the hot dog hat and she told me that I receive a free gift with my purchase. She then gave me a mannequin! I now have all four of them.

Gracie: You can use this mannequin to try out all sorts of new looks. Go crazy with the combos!After that, I was done shopping. I received a letter from Gulliver in the mail today, and it contained Big Ben. Well, a model of it. I put it in my exhibit space at the museum.

A model of Big Ben in my museum exhibit room.At the Dream Suite, Luna informed me that Tyler from Riptonia was my most recent dream visitor. Hi, Tyler! When I went back to town, I sat at my town tree to take a look at my town history.

October 19, 2013: Grand opening of T&T Emporium. Visitors to Forest so far: 154 people.While I was walking around town to water my flowers, Aurora approached me and told me I could use a vacuum cleaner! Is she trying to say my house is messy? At any rate, she gave it to me for free, so I’m not complaining.

Aurora: Um, J-bot. I hope this isn't presumptuous, but I think you could use a vacuum cleaner.After I sold today’s fruit haul, fossils, gems from the gem rock, and unwanted items (*cough* vacuum cleaner *cough*), I had enough money to finish paying off my train station renovation! It will be completed tomorrow!

Isabelle: We've met our collection goal for the station reconstruction project! It should be complete tomorrow!That’s all for today, but I’ll be back with another update tomorrow. So please come back then!
