Today, I found the money rock on my first try! Easy money. I still searched around town for the three fossils, and along the way, I spotted Crazy Redd’s tent. I looked at his items and decided to buy this quaint painting.
But after I bought it, I noticed that Redd actually had four items for sale, not three like I thought. And the one that I didn’t see on the first look was a dynamic painting, which looked authentic. So I think I’m going to be receiving a fake painting in the mail tomorrow. Oh well.
I then headed up to Main Street and went into the Dream Suite. I sat on the couch and got a dream address for my town! This means that even if you’re not on my 3DS friend roster, you’ll still be able to visit my town in your dreams! My dream address is 4300-2003-9889. Luna advised me to update my dream from time to time, so that visitors will be getting a current version of my town.
Next, I stopped into Club LOL next door. Despite the name, this club is really fun! The music, the lights, and the dancing really liven things up. I just need to remember to play earlier in the day so I can get some more emotions!
In the T&T Mart, I spotted a high-jump mat. It’s a bit nostalgic for me, because it was one of the first items I ever got in Animal Crossing: City Folk. It reminds me of some people I used to play ACCF with back in 2008 and 2009. But I don’t have room in my house for it now, so I didn’t buy it.
One of my fortune cookie rewards was for a pipe. Sorry, but I don’t smoke. 😛
And while I was there, I decided to take a look at my catalog. The fortune cookie rewards do show up in the catalog, but you can’t order them. That’s about what I expected. However, I noticed that Gulliver items can be ordered! That was a surprise.
As for Nintendo’s Inside the Treehouse video series, they’ve put out another new episode. It’s Episode 6: The Characters of Animal Crossing. It’s pretty interesting, so check it out:
One last note. I’ve made a New Leaf Face Guide that shows how to get the face you want when you start up the game. Unlike other face guides, this one uses the exact phrasing of the English-language versions, so no guesswork is involved. You might want to keep that link handy for when you get the game next month.
Okay, that’s all for today, but I will be back tomorrow with another update. Have a great Friday, everyone!
UPDATE: I almost forgot to show you my awesome soft-serve lamp that I got in the mail from Mom! How sweet!
So I showed her.
After that, she was mad for some reason.
I didn’t want to be around her negativity, so I went looking for the money rock. On the way, I spotted Katrina’s tent and went inside. She mentioned a police station, with a dog officer working at a desk…
She said that a “tank” is the key. Apparently I’m supposed to wear a tank top, but then what? I don’t quite understand how Katrina works in New Leaf just yet. I didn’t have a tank top anyway though.
He gave me an explorer tee for helping out. I then returned to Aurora, although it seems that I didn’t have to. Gift recipients give you rewards in New Leaf, much like they did on GameCube. You don’t have to return to the animal who sent the gift to get rewarded like you did in City Folk. But the always-cheery Aurora was happy to see me all the same.
I then went up to Main Street to do my shopping for the day. It was too late in the day to get a new emotion from Shrunk, but I stopped in Club LOL anyway for a quick dance. Tex was in there too.
My fortune cookies gave me a 1-up mushroom and a Varia Suit. I’ve already received both of those before. But since Big Top had asked me for some furniture for his house, I gave the 1-up mushroom to him. He seemed happy with it, and he gave me a ramshackle floor in exchange.
After that, I made a house payment at the post office. I still owe a lot of money on my house though, so I won’t be getting the next house upgrade for a while yet. And with that, I wrapped up my night in Forest.
I saw on the town bulletin board that Club LOL was now open! I wasn’t expecting that, since I didn’t notice seeing any construction up yesterday. And the Dream Suite is also done today! Here’s a picture of the two new attractions.
I went inside Club LOL first. Shrunk was there, and he thanked me for the help in making his club a reality.
He said that he’s retired from comedy now, but he still feels the urge to get back on stage and start telling jokes sometimes.
As you probably know, his “jokes” are just excuses to teach you emotions. And if you give him a piece of fruit to eat, he will perform one joke for you. I had a cherry in my pocket, so I gave him that and he performed his “greetings” routine.
After he was done, he gave me a joke book that I can use to record his jokes. It’s really just a new icon that shows up on the bottom screen. Clicking it will take you to your emotions, which you can use at any time. So I now have the “greetings” emotion, so I tested it out.
Apparently, I can go back each day for another joke/emotion. The live music portion of the club doesn’t start until 8:00 p.m., so for now, I headed over to the Dream Suite next door. I met Luna, who told me how the dreams work.
You sleep on the bed, and in your dreams, you can visit other towns. The human mayor won’t be actively playing of course, but you will see a dream version of them walking around. You can choose towns by region or you can enter a dream code to enter a specific town. There’s also an option to let Luna pick a town for you, but this option didn’t seem to be working yet. Probably because there aren’t many towns in the database yet, since the game isn’t out yet.
And then she started counting sheep for me…
I fell asleep…and then woke up. I was in Saria.
A fountain was nearby, with some flowers around it. It looked really nice.
Because this is a dream, nothing you do will have a lasting effect on the town. You can borrow tools from a gyroid, but I don’t see much point to it since nothing you find or catch can be taken back to the real world. So what can you do? You can explore, you can go into homes for decorating ideas, and you can talk to the villagers. For example, I met Lopez, who was well aware that this was a dream.
I also met an unusual-looking yellow rabbit named Mira.
Another note about the dream world; you can’t shop.
Once I was done exploring, I returned to the bed by the town tree. I was ready to wake up.
That was an interesting adventure. But my day was not over yet! I then returned to Club LOL to watch K.K. perform!
At one point, I noticed K.K. had a picture of me, as well as my town logo, on the screen in the background. How did he get those?
Shrunk was in the corner dancing (or trying to). He told me to dance by pressing the different directions on the control pad. So I danced!
It was pretty fun, actually. I imagine it will be even more fun with a group of friends. Once I was done, I headed over to T&T Mart. One of my fortune cookies was good for a blue Pikmin! It matches my shirt!
I then returned to town and went into town hall. Isabelle told me about the ceremony to celebrate the opening of the Dream Suite. Sure, why not?
And I talked to Yuka, who told me she was proud of her legs!
