Jeff's New Leaf Blog

As expected, Gulliver sent me a Merlion from Singapore in the mail.

The three dandelion puffs I blew yesterday have turned into three new dandelions today.

Being the start of a new month,  I knew it was time for a new DLC item. So I went to the post office to see what it was. It’s a rice-plant bed…interesting.

I went to work at the cafe, but Brewster said he didn’t need help today. That’s odd. I didn’t think it was an event day…but more on that later.

Tabby wanted to give me a new nickname: Shmoopy! Absolutely not!!

I made her call me “master” instead. Anyway, while shaking a durian tree, I heard a springy “boing” sound effect. I got my net out and caught a bagworm. It’s a new bug for October.

Surprise Visitor

As I continued my walk around town, I saw a visitor I was not expecting: Jack!

It’s not Halloween! What’s he doing here? It turns out he’s asking for help on the 31st.

He told me I’m expected to scare everyone in town. I’m supposed to find a costume to wear, but he gave me a head start by giving me a bug mask.

Some of the scary items will also be sold at the Able Sisters for 1,031 bells, Jack told me. He also reminded me to stock up on candy.

At any rate, this is what my bug mask looks like:

Let’s Go to the City

When I went up to Main Street, I saw that the Nooklings are currently selling candy in preparation for the big event.

They’re also selling spooky furniture for October. I picked up this spooky lamp.

And the Able Sisters are indeed selling the scary items Jack talked about. Unfortunately, today they only had the same exact bug mask that Jack already gave me.

Aurora and Rolf both arranged meetings with me. So at 6:20, I had to meet Aurora at my house.

And at 6:30, I went to meet Rolf at his house. After I was done visiting with him, I went up to the Happy Homes Showcase. I hadn’t checked up there in a while, and there were three new SpotPass homes I hadn’t seen yet. One of them belong to Jeff from SB. So Jeff met Jeff.

Jeff had this nice music room in his house:

Another of the SpotPass homes belong to Snay from Snerkvil. This was one of her rooms:

And the other house belonged to Nate from Beantown. He had a really nice home.

When I returned to my town, I caught a yellow perch in the river. It’s another of the new catches for October. And then I spotted Phineas, for the first time in a long time. He gave me the Good Shopper badge.

I’ll be back with more tomorrow. Don’t forget to get your DLC item for October!

Today, I had three dandelion puffs taking up space in my pockets, so I decided to blow them over by my northwest rock.

And in honor of the Cleveland Indians making it to the playoffs this year, I put up my Indians logo flag at town hall. (The pattern is available on my QR Codes page).

Speaking of patterns, I decided to make a new one for my face cutout-standee. Since October starts tomorrow, I thought it would be a good time for a Halloween-themed cutout…so I made this gravestone. It is also available on my QR Codes page if you wish to scan it for your own town.

I added a new path segment, connecting my house and Re-Tail. It cuts through where my black and gold roses were, but I kept them in the area by lining the path with them.

Later on, I found Gulliver down on the beach.

His clues were tricky today. He told me of a country that has a merlion as its symbol and a durian as its national fruit. I didn’t know the answer, but I guessed Singapore and it was right. So he will be sending me a gift (a merlion, I’d guess) tomorrow.

I went in Kidd’s house to say hello, and he asked me for some fruit.

I had a perfect peach in my pockets, so I gave him that. He thanked me and gave me a minimalist dresser in exchange.

Over by town hall, I ran into Tabby. She asked if I still needed a bucket.

Tonight I got a letter from Gulliver from down under. He sent me this replica of Ayers Rock (also known as Uluru).

And Rolf asked me to dig up his time capsule.

Benedict asked if baked squash should be the official food of Forest. Absolutely not!

Copper informed me that someone was camping over at the campsite, so I went to check it out. Tank was inside. He seems okay, but I didn’t particularly want him to move in.

Big Top asked me for a pear, so I found one and returned to him. “Oh, is that a fruit I see? No, it’s just a fallacy.”

I dug up Rolf’s time capsule and returned it to him. He opened it, and it contained a a gray tartan tee. He gave it to me…even though I was already wearing that exact shirt!

I was helping out animals a lot tonight. Molly asked me for a piece of furniture for her house. I went into Re-Tail and bought a kitchen sink for her. When I gave it to her, she rewarded me with her ninja sword. Molly! I had no idea you were a ninja!
