When I started up the game tonight, Big Top was right outside my house. He asked to visit my house. I said sure, so he told me to lead the way. So I turned around and went inside. He followed me in and he could hardly believe he was in “killer’s house.” Careful what you wish for, elephant man.

When he was done snooping around, I went back outside when Big Top was done snooping around. Molly told me she was going to move out of town on the 11th of this month. Permission denied.

Hide and Seek

Before long, Teddy told me that he wanted to play hide-and-seek. Two days in a row? Sure, why not?

I had ten minutes (not 15 like yesterday) to find Teddy, Tabby, and Big Top. It took me nearly four minutes before I found anyone, though. Big Top was the first to go down, after hiding behind a tree.

A minute later, I found…a lost mitten. Unfortunately, it doesn’t count.

But just across the bridge from there, I found Teddy. And with four minutes remaining, I found the last (and certainly least) animal, Tabby.

I won the game, and Teddy rewarded me with a tall lantern. He also said I was a lousy winner, which was totally uncalled for. He needs to remember that I’m the mayor and I can have him stuffed.

When I talked to Big Top again, he was talking about…actually I don’t remember what he was talking about.

Returning the Mitten

The lost mitten didn’t belong to any of the hide-and-seek players, so I went around asking everyone. Then I went into Canberra’s house. She was surprised to see me willingly enter her house. I was surprised about that too, to be honest.

She said the mitten was hers. Oh no. My heart stopped. Please don’t give me your picture! Fortunately, she gave me a tan dogstooth shirt instead. I’ve never been so happy to receive a crappy shirt in exchange for a task. Whew, that was a close one!

Back outside, Teddy was acting just as strange as Big Top. What’s with everyone today?

New Badge

But soon, I saw one of my favorite animals to see: Phineas! He gave me a new Refurbishing Beginner badge. It’s for customizing lots of furniture at Re-Tail.

New PWP Suggestion

Before I finished playing, I talked to Big Top yet again. And this time, he suggested a new public works project! But…it’s just a sandbox.

It looks like…a sandbox. Definitely one of the lamest projects.

Something New

That’s all for today’s blog. But if you like my New Leaf blogs, be sure to check out my new section on JVGS: Jeff’s Dream Suite Adventures. I’ll be visiting dream towns and writing about my adventures, blog style. If you like my blogs, you’ll like this new section too. My first adventure takes me to the infamous Aika Village, and more dream visits will be added soon. Thank you for visiting JVGS today!

Today, I got a letter from Wishy, the shooting star. A gift was enclosed–the Tower of Pisa. I thought that was an odd gift, because it seems like it should be a Gulliver item. I’m debating whether or not I should include this in my “World Wonders” exhibit at the museum. It had been just for Gulliver items, but this seems to belong too. For now, it’s in my modern wood room.

When I went back outside, Big Top pinged me. He suggested a new PWP–a hammock!

This is what it looks like:

I think I may install one, but probably not right away. I’d really like to completely pay off my house.

Anyway, I made a mistake last night: I thought Big Top was the villager who suggested the petition. But when I talked to Big Top again today, he didn’t mention it. But the petition was still taking up a spot in my inventory, so I needed to find out who it belonged to. Because Big Top just wanted to play hide and seek.

I had 15 minutes to find Big Top, Canberra, and Molly. Canberra was the first one I found, trying to hide behind the police station.

I found Big Top leaning out from behind a house.

And Molly was down on the beach, hiding behind a banana tree.

For winning the game of hide and seek, Big Top gave me a blue vase. I continued my walk around town, and Canberra mentioned Aimee from Termina. She said she was a bell pincher, but she’d like to see her again.

Later on, I ran into Canberra again. But this time, she was talking about potatoes and French fries. She was making me hungry!

I eventually tracked down the person who sent me on the wild goose chase last night: Teddy. He told me that it was too late for the petition signatures, so I could just toss it in the trash. At that point, the petition turned into a “paper scrap,” and I could no longer look at it.

At 8:00, I went over to Club LOL to hear some K.K. music. I asked for a random song and he performed K.K. Steppe for me.

When I started up the game tonight, I found my back room was fully expanded.

And Tom Nook confirmed that my house was also fully expanded. It’s now as big as it can get.

There was a meteor shower in the skies above Forest, so I stopped to wish on a shooting star. And then it crashed into Aurora’s house.

I had a gem rock instead of a money rock today, and two of the gems were gold nuggets. I took them (and another gold nugget I had in storage) to Cyrus, and he made me a golden carpet. That’s actually an item I needed.

The Able Sisters had a skeleton hood for sale today, so I bought it.

Remember that customized mini dharma that I gave to Rolf? Guess what I saw for sale in Re-Tail tonight!

Rolf has some ‘splaining to do! I don’t care if he is an endangered species. He’s gonna be more endangered if I don’t get a good explanation and a serious apology!

Fortunately, I also have some nice villagers. Molly is one of them, and when she asked me for a butterfly, I went out of my way to catch one for her. I gave her an emperor butterfly and she gave me modern wood flooring.

I actually needed that flooring for my modern wood room, so I’m very glad to have it.

Sign Me Up

Big Top had a petition for me to take to another village. The cause was “Don’t hate, hydrate.” I was unable to visit another town at the time (but special thanks to Roman for trying to help me out). Much later, my friend Wendy opened her gate for me. So I went around asking her villagers for signatures. My former villager Rory was the 6th and final signature I needed.

I looked over the completed petition…

And I returned to Forest to give it to him. Unfortunately, he was now sleeping! It looks like I did this all for nothing!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
