Late last night, I got back on for a little fishing in the rain. And holy fish sticks, guess what I caught!
That’s right, I caught my first coelacanth in New Leaf. Niiice!
As I made my way to the museum to donate it, I ran into Fuchsia. Because it was so dark, she thought I was a…big wet deer?
Then she scolded me for scaring her. Hey girlfriend, it’s not my fault you’re blind!
I then continued on to the museum, where I donated the coelacanth. I also went into the aquarium to take a look at it.
Then today, someone on a certain community asked if fruit could be sold at the flea market in Re-Tail. I wasn’t sure, so I tried it out. The answer: Yes.
Yuka then asked me to fetch her a cherry. I decided to be nice for a change (but only because I already had a cherry in my pocket) and I gave it to her.
She gobbled down her cherry and thanked me by giving me a vintage telephone. I then realized it was almost 8:00, so I rushed to Club LOL. I gave Shrunk three peaches and he taught me the sighing emotion. City Folk had an emotion (disappointment) that involved a sigh, but it wasn’t called sighing. I’m not sure if this is a replacement for disappointment or a new, separate emotion.
At any rate, I gave it a try:
In the Able Sisters, there was a catcher’s mask for sale. With baseball season underway, I went ahead and bought it.
As you can see by my bell total in the above photo, I’ve accumulate a bunch of money. I decided to add a new community project. After looking over the list, I chose a campsite to be the new addition. Isabelle warned me that unlike most other projects, the campsite can’t be removed once it’s installed.
I decided to put it near the edge of the cliff, overlooking the beach.
Since I already had enough money for it, I paid it off all at once.
I returned to town hall and Isabelle confirmed that the campsite will be completed tomorrow!
After selling some more stuff, I had about 80,000 bells. So I took 70,000 and paid part of my house loan with it.
After walking around outside, I actually saw Big Top shaking a tree! That’s pretty cool that animals can shake trees in Animal Crossing New Leaf. I wonder if they can get stung by bees? Probably not, but that would be funny.
That wraps up my night in Forest, but I’ll be back with another update (and a campsite) tomorrow, so please check back then! In the meantime, here is the latest Inside the Treehouse video. This time, they talk about custom designs.
Finally, a second floor. but wait…it’s only 4 x 4?!
That was definitely disappointing. Second floors in previous games weren’t that small. I’m sure Tom Nook will be happy to expand it, though…for an arm and a leg.
With me being the pleasant person that I am, I told her no.
After that, I went to go meet my newest neighbor (and Yuka’s next-door neighbor), Benedict the rooster.
And in T&T Mart, I saw that they had a slingshot for sale! I bought it!
Next, I stopped in Nook Homes, and Tom Nook informed me that I now owe him 298,000 bells. Ouch. That tiny floor wasn’t even worth it.
That about wraps up my short night in Forest, but here is the latest Inside the Treehouse video. This time, they talk about furniture and pants. What an odd combination.
It’s interesting that she’s announced her move before I even got a replacement for Harry.
And then I spotted a fenced-off area. Benedict the rooster will be moving in tomorrow. Although, he’s going to be living right next door to Yuka. Good luck to him.
I found the money rock and got eight hits in…but I didn’t get the usual 16,100 bells. I got 32,000 bells! Wow! I didn’t understand why I was so lucky, until I noticed Katrina’s tent and went inside. She said the key to unlocking good fortune was…
Socks. I was already wearing socks, so that explains why I already had the good fortune.
Then I headed up to Main Street. I gave Shrunk three peaches and he taught me the “outrage” emotion! That is yet another rare emotion that I’ve been trying to get in City Folk for years.
And that’s no hogwash.
With the bells I got from the money rock earlier, I easily had enough money to finish off paying my current home loan. I’ll be getting an upstairs built tomorrow!
After I was done on Main Street, I returned to Forest. I went in Yuka’s house and I think I walked in on something…
An ugly convention perhaps. I didn’t hang around too long, and I soon made a trip to the island. I have now earned enough medals to buy a wet suit! Unfortunately, they didn’t have one on sale today. But I did a little fishing, and I caught a blue marlin. It’ll be going in the museum.
One of the fish I caught was a sea bass. I didn’t want to waste a slot in the basket on a sea bass, so I sold it to Leila for 10 bells.
I made a stop at Re-Tail to sell some of my catches, and another stop at the museum to donate the blue marlin. And then I ended my day in Forest. I’ll be back tomorrow with another update, so I hope to see you then!
