Waking Up Gulliver The Easy Way

After having my coffee at the cafe today, Brewster asked me to come work for him!

Brewster: Would you be interested in working here...? I'd pay you, of course...He told me I could start tomorrow! Hopefully it won’t involve serving Katt, because I’ll quit.

Brewster: You can start tomorrow. Looking forward to it... Coo.And I decided to have a little fun with my megaphone today. I called around to my animals to find out where they were… and I even yelled for Rory when I was standing right next to him. He got mad at me.

But the best part was when I saw Gulliver unconscious on the beach. One yell and he jumped up and was wide awake! This has got to be the best use for the megaphone yet. It’s so annoying when you have to talk to Gulliver 20 times just to wake him up, so this was a big time saver!

Gulliver: AYE AYE, SIR!Gulliver: Wait. How did you know my name is Gulliver?!Anyway, his clues indicated he was going to Greece. So I should be receiving a gift from him in the mail tomorrow.

Gulliver: How did you get into my brain?After that, I decided I was due for another town project. I chose to build a fountain. I put it just a bit south of the train station/railroad tracks, so it’s not too far from where its position was in City Folk.

Lloid: Hey, contribute to a campaign to fund a fountain!The cost was just a hair over 99,000 bells–much cheaper than it was on City Folk, oddly enough. So I paid it off right away. It will be completed tomorrow.

Isabelle: We've met our collection goal for the fountain project! It should be complete tomorrow!After finding my four fossils, I headed up to Main Street. One of the fossils was new; the others were duplicates. And in Club LOL, Shrunk taught me the joy emotion.

Dr. Shrunk teaches me the joy emotion.Down the street, in the supermarket, Benedict commented on how much he liked the name “Super T&T.” In fact, he told me to start calling him Super Benedict. Not gonna happen, Chicken Man.

Benedict: That's why from now on, I'd like you to call me Super Benedict, uh-hoo!And I almost forgot to check out my house expansion! So I went up to take a look… All that money, and it’s still just 6×6. Nook is such a rip-off in New Leaf.

My upstairs room has been expanded to 6 x 6.Just a couple Wi-Fi related notes:

1. About half of the people I’ve tried to play with in New Leaf had trouble connecting. I think I may have fixed the problem. Nintendo has updated their list of possible solutions for the 018-0512 error code I had been receiving, so I tried the part where I manually assigned an IP address to my 3DS. After that, I was able to connect with someone I wasn’t able to connect with before. So maybe I’ll be able to play with those of you who have had trouble. But I still recommend that those of you that had the errors also try it out. Here is the link.

2.  Friday Night Forest comes to New Leaf! This Friday, I’ll be opening my New Leaf gate at my old ACCF time, Friday at 10:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time (that’s 7 p.m. for those in the Pacific time zone). So if you’re on my roster, stop on by!

Best Buy DLC – Raccoon Wall Clock

Late last night, I did some fishing and diving. I caught my first scallop, and as soon as I did, Pascal popped up behind me!

Pascal pops up out of the ocean behind me as I catch my first scallop.Naturally, he wanted to take my scallop. But no! This is my first one! It’s going to the museum. I’ll give you the next one, my creepy aquatic stalker.

Pascal: Hey, maaaannnnn, how's about you gimme that scallop you caught?And today, I paid off my house expansion at the post office.

I finished paying off my home loan!Over at Re-Tail, Reese was paying 311 bells for turnips!

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 311 bells.So I sold my 100 turnips for 31,100 bells. That’s a profit of 21,000 bells! I tripled my investment. Not bad.

Reese: Ooh, 100 turnips! I can take that item off your hands for 31,100 bells, if that's OK?While I was in there, I also had Reese look at my famous painting I got in the mail from Crazy Redd today. Unfortunately, it was a fake after all.

Reese: Oh no! If you look very closely at it, you can see it's a fake!And before darkness fell, I made a rare daytime trip to the island. I caught my first whale shark!

I caught a whale shark! It could have swallowed me up!I also caught a number of daytime bugs I hadn’t caught yet. That included a grasshopper, migratory locust, and a monarch butterfly.

And later on, I got the Best Buy exclusive DLC, the raccoon wall clock!

Pelly: Sorry to keep you waiting! I hope you enjoy your new raccoon wall clock!You can get this raccoon wall clock DLC at your local Best Buy. Keep in mind that this promotion is for North America only, so it unfortunately won’t work for those of you in Europe, Australia, or elsewhere. But this is what it looks like:

The raccoon clock wall Best Buy DLC.If you’re wondering if the raccoon wall clock can be ordered from the catalog like regular DLC can, the answer is YES! It will cost 1,600 bells. Not bad.

Raccoon wall clock DLC: 1,600 bells.After that, I went into Nook Homes to have a chat with Mr. Tom Nook himself. Since my house is paid up, I’m now able to choose the next expansion. I’m a bit tired of these tiny 4×4 rooms, so I chose to expand my second floor. Tom Nook will complete the work tomorrow, but I now owe him a whopping 498,000 bells.

Tom Nook: Your loan will come to a total of 498,000 bells. This is perfectly acceptable, yes?And before I finished up for the day, I stopped in Club LOL to get a new emotion. This time, Shrunk taught me the “aggravation” emote.

Shrunk: But I just couldn't say no, so I said OK, OK, OK. this made the blue-haired ladies light up with glee!

Saving Big Top

Today, Molly came up to me and started singing the Duck Song.

Molly: Got any grapes?!Actually it was just a greeting I taught her. Another villager of mine, Big Top, was also nearby. When I talked to him, he told me he was going to move out on the 22nd of this month! Why would he want to leave? Is he still mad about the time capsule? Or maybe he’s planning on joining the circus?

Big Top: I'm leaving on the 22nd of this month!But fortunately, I was able to talk him out of it.

Big Top: Wow, I didn't think you'd care that much. Well, if you really want me to stay in Forest, then I will!I stopped in the cafe for some coffee, and I saw Phineas there! He wasn’t giving any badges away today though; he just likes the coffee.

Phineas: Did you know Brewster here can make the most delectable cup of Kilimanjaro coffee?I took a peach up to Shrunk at Club LOL, and he taught me the “fearful” emotion.

Shrunk, using the fearful emotion: Ever had a terrible case of stage fright? Where you...just...stop and shake uncontrollably?And in Super T&T, there was a wall fan for sale. It’s like the one Tabby has, where you have to jump to turn it on or off. I bought it for my house.

Tommy: Ah, a wall fan! A fine item, yes?Back in town, I spotted Crazy Redd’s tent once again. The famous painting (Mona Lisa) looked legit, so I bought it.

Redd: I see! Ya seem to be really close to that famous painting, yeah?
