Today, Benedict asked me to help out with a petition for a snack bar. But curiously, I needed six signatures from a different town! If the snack bar is for Forest, why would a different town’s residents have a say? I don’t understand.
I’ll have to take care of that later. For now, I continued on in Forest. I met Joan for the first time in New Leaf and I bought some turnips from her.
Next, I headed to the cafe for some coffee-to-go.
You can equip the cup of coffee and then drink from your cup by pressing the A button.
And today, I got my first Animal Crossing New Leaf StreetPass, so I finally have a house showing up in the Happy Homes Showcase! It belongs to Dan of Merrland.
I was able to go in his house, and I also had the ability to order the items that he had on display (excluding non-orderable items of course).
Later on tonight, my friend Wendy agreed to help me out by letting me ask her animals for signatures for my petition.
I got the six signatures that I needed!
So I returned to Benedict and handed over the petition.
He said the snack bar is now a step closer to becoming a reality! Awesome!
But then did something strange. He gave me a reward: a rococo chair. And no mention of adding the snack bar to the list of town projects. Was this all just a scam? I went to town hall and confirmed that there was no snack bar on the list. I’ll be mad if all this work was just for a regular piece of furniture reward. Hopefully I’ll hear more about this soon. If not, I’m going to cook this traitor for breakfast.
But while I was checking out the project list, I thought I’d show you a picture of the brick bridge project I mentioned a while back. It looks pretty nice, although I’m not sure which bridge I’m going to choose when I eventually spring for my third bridge.
And last but not least, I took out my frustrations on Tabby.
See you tomorrow!
We were doing a lot of swimming and diving, and I caught this ugly creature: a giant isopod.
And on more than one occasion, we had to flee from an attacking jellyfish!
We stayed on the island a long time, but we eventually returned to Oakville. In Wendy’s house, we discovered that while sitting in a chair, you can move around a bit. It makes a “whoop” sound effect and we kept doing it and cracking ourselves up.
I offered to let her use my wet suit overnight, but I had to give her a warning about it…
And of course, I continued using my toy hammer on her.
Before she ended the party, she tested out the wet suit by jumping off the cliff right outside her house.
Today, the Bug-Off competition was held. I still had some bugs left over from the island last night, so I gave a couple of them to Nat. A cyclommatus stag took over first place, with 87 points. Nat rewarded me with a caterpillar sofa.
This is what it looks like:
I also saw Phineas in town today. He gave me a Seafood Maniac badge for finding many things while diving.
^I literally had to take that picture four times because I kept blinking. This game has too much blinking! But Phineas wasn’t done with me; he also gave me a badge for playing a lot!
I then took some fruit to Shrunk, and he taught me the distress emotion. It now appears that I have half of the emotions in the game.
I also stopped at the cafe for some coffee. While there, I saw KK enjoying some coffee as well. Well technically, he was called “DJ KK” now. “Villager Jeff” isn’t so sure he approves.
Brewster told me that starting tomorrow, I can get coffee to-go by ordering from the counter on the right.
After 6:00, I went into Nat’s tent for the Bug-Off results ceremony. My bug remained in first place, and I won the competition! Big Top came in 2nd place, and Katt finished third.
At 8:00, I was going to play with Ness/Bushido, but he kept getting error messages when trying to visit Forest. He’s going to try adjusting his router settings to get things to work, but he didn’t want to fool with it today. But I decided to open my gate anyway. So Wendy and Rae came over to play.
It’s Saturday night, so we went up to Club LOL for some K.K. songs. After two songs, Joey also came over to visit. He joined us in the club for a couple more songs.
We hung out in the museum for a while and then spent some time at the cafe. The waiter never came out to serve us! What lousy service!
We also did the chair “whooping” thing, which was good for some more laughs.
We then headed out to the island for some fishing, bug-catching, and swimming.
After a short while, I ended the party for the night. Thanks for coming, Wendy, Rae, and Joey! I had a good time!
So I started my daily search for fossils and the money rock. I also stopped in the cafe for a cup of coffee.
And as expected, I met my newest neighbor……..Tabby. Anytime you say her name, be sure to start with a long pause and make sure there’s a lot of disappointment in your voice as you pronounce it. That’s the correct way to say it (because I’m the mayor and I say so). 😀
I found four fossils today, and then I headed up to Main Street. Shrunk taught me the bashfulness emotion.
And further down Main Street, the construction was complete! The salon, Shampoodle, is open for business!
Wendy came out disappointed; she didn’t get quite what she wanted.
I soon ended the party. But then I remembered that I had a toy hammer I haven’t used on any animals yet! Tabby was still indoors, so she got to escape my wrath for today. So I looked around until I found Katt. Hey Katt… STOP!
HAMMER TIME!
That was fun. But I can’t wait to try it out on Tabby.
