Banded Dragonfly

I worked a shift at the Roost again today, and one of the customers was Lucky, from out of town. He’s a mummified dog, and he’s actually pretty cool.

Lucky: Coffee, please! With 2 sugars!I still haven’t had a perfect day at the cafe just yet, but I did fairly good today. Brewster gave me some good coffee beans and a coffee grinder.

Back outside, Tabby and Aurora were whistling The Final Countdown (my town tune) as I spotted a big dragonfly. I went over to it and caught it without any trouble at all; it was a banded dragonfly!

I caught a banded dragonfly! Now to find the rest of its band!I headed over to Club LOL and I gave Shrunk a peach. He taught me the heartbreak emotion.

Shrunk: My Heartbreak Joke is just the thing to CURE what ails you!Shrunk, using the heartbreak emotion: It was the one time I ever DIDN'T want toI only need five more emotions now. And then I’ll never have to feed Shrunk again! 😛

I found my daily fossils, but they were all duplicates once again. I haven’t found a new one in a while. Then I did my shopping, sold some stuff, and returned home. But later on, I returned back to Club LOL for traditional KK. I ended up getting K.K. Synth from him.

Hide and Seek

Today, Big Top approached me and told me he had a talk with Oakville from Wendy…

Big Top: Did you know I had a chat with Oakville from Wendy?He then corrected himself to say Wendy from Oakville instead. But he said she was one heck of a civic leader. If you say so. 😛

Big Top: Now, she's one heck of a civic leader, don't you think, agent #1?In Club LOL, Shrunk taught me the sheepishness emotion.

Shrunk, using the sheepishness emotion: He told my son, "Your dad's a little hoarse today."And of course, it was raining cats and dogs…as always. I know it’s the rainy season, but it shouldn’t be this rainy. Give me at least one day without the rain, please! I’m dying to catch some July bugs already! Benedict had a good idea; he said it should rain fruit punch instead of water.

Benedict: Wouldn't it be great if the sky rained fruit punch instead of water, uh-hoo?I then stopped in Rolf’s house and found a surprise: Tabby! 😮 What in the world did I walk in on?! I lost a lot of respect for Rolf today.

Tabby hanging out at Rolf's house.Running back outside into the rain provided no relief from ugly cats. Katt was out there, talking about how wet we both were.

Katt: Ha ha! Hey, Jeff! Looks like we're both gonna be all wet today! What am I?!But she asked me to play hide and seek. Any game that involves Katt staying out of sight sounds like a good game to me! Rory and Benedict also joined in the game.

Katt: OK! Here's what's gonna happen... We are all going to go hide!I had 15 minutes to find them all. Rory was the first one I found, hiding behind the modern clock. That’s a really stupid thing to hide behind, considering you can see right through the huge opening.

Katt: You win this time, Jeff! Here! Take this prize!Katt gave me a modern wood table. As soon as I took the item from her, all three of their umbrellas popped up at once. It was actually kind of funny.

Three villagers holding umbrellas, which all popped up at the same moment!After a shopping run, I was basically done for the day. But Wendy asked to come over to shop, so I opened my gate briefly. With her hair style and color, she actually looked like Yann!

Wendy, looking like Yann!After she finished, I ended the session.

By the way, I have now added a New Leaf eye color guide to JVGS that lets you know how to get the eye color you want. It includes nice, clear pictures of each color too (not the super tiny pictures you’ll find on other guides). I hope you find it useful! And I hope to see you all tomorrow!

Digging up a Time Capsule

It was 7:58 p.m. when I first started up the game tonight, so I quickly rushed to Club LOL to get an emotion before they opened up for the night. I made it in time (barely) and Shrunk taught me the disbelief emotion.

Shrunk, using disbelief emotion: So if you see me do THIS... It means I'm scared a tomato is on a direct flight to my FACE!Shrunk: That look you're giving me... Don't get any ideas!As I returned to town, I worked a shift at the Roost. I did okay, earning some good coffee beans. Brewster also gave me some cream and sugar (a furniture item).

Some cream and sugar I got from Brewster.Fuchsia is all packed and ready to move out, so I went to say goodbye to her.

Fuchsia: Oh, Jeff! You here to help? I'm moving tomorrow... Actually I'm pretty much done packing.And outside in the rain, Rory approached me and told me he’s ready for me to dig up his time capsule!

Rory: I'm thinking it's about time to open the time capsule you buried for me the other day!I went and dug it up and took it back to him. He opened it up and found a sweaty shirt inside, which he offered to me. Gee, thanks.

Rory: Ha ha! Want an old, sweat-soaked blue plaid tee of mine?After reading the enclosed letter he wrote himself, he was embarrassed.

Rory: Hoo! This is embarrassing! I was so immature back then!He then gave me the sweaty blue plaid tee…oh joy.

Rory: It's a blue plaid tee! Thank you, J dog! I feel like I've touched the future.Anyway, I got my famous painting in the mail from Crazy Redd. And this time, it was the real thing! I donated it to the museum. It’s nice to see it finally displayed with its real name, Mona Lisa.

Title of famous painting: Mona LisaI stopped in Shampoodle for some color contacts; I now have blue eyes.

Me with blue eye contacts.And in the Able Sisters, there was a curious item for sale…a leaf.

Labelle: Oh, wow! That flashy look is very nice on you!
