Your villagers in Animal Crossing: New Leaf will sometimes tell you to take a rest and they encourage you not to play very long. And yet, animals will sometimes invite themselves to your house, but say it can’t be before a certain time…usually over an hour away! If you don’t want me playing so long, then why are you requiring me to wait over an hour to have you over to my house?
That’s what Molly did to me today. So I kept the 3DS on so that I was ready for her visit at 6:30 today. When she entered my house, she commented that my wheat field must keep the air in my house fresh. Interesting. I had no idea that wheat fields could be used as air fresheners. I’ll have to try planting some wheat in my bathroom.
When she went into my modern wood room and faced north, she was almost camouflaged!
I showed her every room of my house and she eventually left. I should be getting a letter in the mail from her tomorrow.
But for now, I did some fishing in the river. After a few trips back and forth, I earned enough money to finish paying off my latest house expansion. I chose to expand my modern wood room, and it will be done tomorrow.
Later on, Wendy came over for a short visit. Wendy has Eugene as one of her villagers, and I often joke about killing him (don’t ask). 😛 But I noticed that I could easily fit his body into this polka dot dresser. Maybe I could even start a koala collection; I could try fitting Yuka and Canberra into it as well…
After she was done shopping, we went out to the island and played the official item-matching tour. We earned a Gold Tortimer award and 8 medals.
But I have a question. Are these Tortimer awards real? I don’t know of any way to see which Tortimer awards you’ve earned. Is there a way to see them or is it all a hoax? I’m guessing it’s the latter…just like my supposed snack bar.
Anyway, we caught some bugs (and I caught a shark as well) before heading back to Forest. I sold my catches and I earned 37,050 bells.
Molly, being the cute duck she is, told me that even if we’re rivals, she still cheers on her friends.
I turned in a goliath beetle (that I saved from last night) in to Nat. You need an 80-point bug to score a special piece of bug furniture. But Nat only gave me 79 points for my goliath! Bug off, bug man!
But even though I didn’t get a special piece of furniture, my 79-point bug was still enough to win the competition. So I attended the ceremony later in the evening.
After that was over, Molly suggested a new public works project (PWP): a garbage can. I already have a garbage can in my house for getting rid of trash, so I’d rather not put one outdoors in my town.
Today’s fake rock gave me a gold nugget earlier in the day. I took it, along with two others I had in storage, to Cyrus at Re-Tail. He turned them into a golden dresser for me.
Once 8:00 p.m. rolled around, I went up to Club LOL to watch a performance from K.K. I asked for a random song and he performed Space K.K. for me. Even though the title makes it sound like something I’d like, it’s not very good.
And today was the last day I could sell my turnips, so I headed back to Re-Tail to check out today’s price. They were buying them for 114 bells apiece, so I sold them all for 57,000 bells.
I originally bought them for 91 bells each, for a total of 45,500 bells. So I made a small profit of 11,500 bells.
After she escaped, we fought it out in an epic head-butt battle.
Eventually, we both became braindead. So I ended the party. But Kidd was sick, so I took him some medicine.
Then today, I checked my turnip prices: 53 bells. Not good. I hope they rebound tomorrow or I’ll be out a lot of money.
And I attended the ceremony for the opening of my cube sculpture.
Then at 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Wendy and Daisy came over to visit. Daisy had a pink glow stick! She said it’s an item you can get in December. Looks cool!
We hung out in the cafe for a while, getting hyped up on coffee.
We then did some diving, and I caught my first spiny lobster.
Shortly after 11:00, we headed out to the island. I wasn’t a big fan of today’s tours, but we did one market value bug tour. Right as time expired, Wendy typed “Yay! I caught a pikachu!” It was formatted just like the automatic notices that tell you when one of us catches a bug, so it threw me for a loop. I had to do a double take at first, then I cracked up. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to snap a picture, but it was pretty funny.
And after Daisy had disappeared for a while, she returned as Santa Clown!
I determined that my zen garden was two spaces too low for my path. I think I’m eventually going to destroy it and replace it up a few spaces, so my path doesn’t have to twist around it. But that’s not a priority for now. For now, we just decided to water it.
Shortly after midnight, I ended the party for the night. Just a reminder that the Bug-Off is tomorrow, so I’ll be back then with another update!
