Two Holidays in One

Today is a special day in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Two holiday events (each with its own special character) happened to fall on the same date. It’s both April Fools’ Day and Bunny Day (aka Easter Sunday). So Blanca and Zipper T. Bunny were both standing at the event plaza.

 

Blanca: Hey there! Do you know what day it is today?
There are a couple of ways to answer that question…

I decided not to participate in Blanca’s activities. But I did collect some eggs for Zipper.

Wow, I caught an egg! I should take it to Zipper!
Over my head, you can see a pink tree. They’re only here in early April.

I took some pictures of the shadow sizes of water eggs and deep sea eggs, and added them to my Bunny Day Guide. So you can check them out if you want to know what shadows to look out for while egg hunting.

In all, I collected nine pieces of egg furniture, two egg walls, an egg floor, and Zipper’s pic. I sold it for a total of 116,562 bells. Carpeting was the premium item at Re-Tail today, so I got a bit extra for the egg floor. After selling everything, I then took my money to the bank. My account balance reached 107 million bells.

Your current balance is 107,000,000 bells.

As part of April Fools’ Day, villagers will try to fool you. Bones told me there’s a new town ordinance in which everyone has to eat five meals a day. 😛

Bones: Big news! There's a new town ordinance! The new rule is called 5 Meals a Day!

I hope you had a fun April Fools’ Day, a successful Bunny Day, and a Happy Easter.

Lactricity

When I visited Bones on Monday, he was wearing a guard’s uniform (QR code) and talking about his computer. He said it runs on “lactricity.”

Bones: Look at me! I got a computer and everything! It runs on this stuff called lactricity, ice cube.

Hornsby asked me for an ocean fish yesterday, so I went down to the beach. Luckily for Hornsby, I didn’t catch a sea bass or a horse mackerel; I caught a football fish (worth 2,500 bells). I gave it to him, and he rewarded me with an executive toy.

Hornsby: Wow! Is this football fish for me? It's so sweet!

Today, I found a lost item on the ground near Agent S’s house. Agent S was nearby, so I asked her about it. Surprisingly, it was hers! She rewarded me with a wet-road sign.

Agent S: What? Where'd you find this bag?

At Shampoodle, I changed my hair back to its normal color (brown). And at Able Sisters, I changed my shirt. Since today is opening day of baseball season, I put on my Indians’ block C logo shirt.

When I returned home, Hornsby barged in. But he brought me a nice gift: a laptop!

Hornsby: Here! I brought you a laptop as a present. I hope you like it!

After he left, I noticed that the sapling clock tweets at the top of the hour. I think I heard some tweeting at the bottom of the hour as well.

Hornsby’s Birthday

Over the weekend, I saw that Hornsby has put up the customized matryoshka dolls in his house. So if you want to see all three little men, here’s a pic.

Saturday was Shamrock Day (St. Patrick’s Day), and it was also the day of the fishing tournament. I spotted the Shamrock Day face-cutout standee at the event plaza, near Chip and his tent. I played too late to participate in the tourney, though.

Today, I bought this sink that Hornsby was selling at Re-Tail.

Reese: Oh, the sink? This item belongs to Hornsby from here in Forest.

Interestingly enough, today was Hornsby’s birthday! So I decided to give him the sink he was trying to get rid of…as his birthday present! Surprisingly, he loved it! 😀

Hornsby: A sink! I'm so impressed that you picked out the perfect present, hun!

Agent S was also at the party, having a good time.

Agent S: Birthday bashes are the best! Seriously, I'm always looking for an excuse to par-TAY!
Squirrels gone wild.

Outside, I spoke with Rolf as Bob was standing right behind him. Rolf asked me how well I get along with Bob. Hmm, did Bob put you up to asking me this? Just a hunch.

Rolf: How well do you and Bob get along?

I visited Molly in her house, and I was a bit surprised by some of her dialogue. She asked if I’ve received a badge from Phineas. That’s not something villagers normally say…but then it hit me. Wait, is she saying this because Phineas was in town? I ran to the police station and asked Copper what was new. He confirmed that Phineas was in town! Wow!

I searched town, and eventually found him near the event plaza. He gave me the Weed Menace badge, which is the gold weed-pulling badge! I didn’t think I’d be getting this anytime soon, so I was quite happy about it!

I got the Weed Menace badge! This is the result of my ceaseless weed-pulling addiction!

So I now have all gold badges except for the StreetPass one. I will probably never get that one, so tonight may be the last time I ever see Phineas in New Leaf.
