Boots’ Pic

Last week, Colin came over for a short visit to see my museum exhibits. I saw that one room had my creepy furniture and some pumpkin heads… I forgot all that stuff was in there! In fact, I was wondering what happened to all the pumpkin heads I used to have. They were up here all along! Oops!

Jeff: I forgot it was here!After one of my villagers gave me a boxing barricade on Friday, I noticed another boxing barricade on sale at Re-Tail. So I put mine up next to it, for the moment at least. 😛

Boots: Here you go! It's a gently used Boots's pic! Enjoy!

I took it home to get a good look at it. His favorite quote is “Strength lies in muscles.”

Just like week, I once again found Bob sleeping on a bench. But this time, he was on the yellow bench in the southwest part of town.

I had perfect oranges as my premium item on Sunday, so I let Squishy know. She came over to smuggle sell some oranges. She also gave me a basket of oranges so I can keep spoiling my villagers. Thanks, Squishy!

Kiwi recently let me visit Raddle’s RV. He’s an unusual looking frog (then again, many frogs in the game look a bit odd). He’s a black frog with yellow dots, wearing a surgical mask.

Since I’ve still had Zelda music in my head lately, I changed my town tune to Saria’s Song (aka the Lost Woods theme from Ocarina of Time).

Isabelle: Oh my! What a wonderful theme! It's like...music to my ears! Literally!

Bunny from Tiger was giving away some items tonight, and I picked out a Pondering music box. I picked it up at her town, and then put it in my house. Thanks, Bunny!

When I spoke to Big Top, he kept telling me about chats he’s had with people. He mentioned three people that haven’t even played in my town for years…and one of them isn’t even on my friend roster any more. I guess the elephant has a long memory.

That’s how Bob was in my ACCF town. He was a long-time resident who had chatted with almost everyone I had played with. And I was very sad when Bob moved away. In a way, Big Top is like the Bob of New Leaf (even though I also have Bob in New Leaf…and Aurora has been in New Leaf Forest even longer than Big Top).

But anyway, Big Top asked for a new catchphrase to replace “on Switch.” So I told him to say “up my nose.”

Big Top: Calm down, boss. I want you to speak slowly, up my nose!

My recent dream visitors have been Elliott from Forest, Jamie from Maywood, Tiffany from Ganache, Cheese from St Binah, and Mayounna from Amy Rose. Thanks for stopping by!

Revisiting Club Tortimer

Britt recently let me visit Billy’s RV. Thanks, Britt! 🙂 I needed the black phone for Booker’s house. But when I saw this hideous “lucky doll,” I had to order it as well. 😀

Billy: Pretty sweet ride, huh? And it's big enough for a total-body workout. Let's do some spins! Wheeeee!For now, I just put in my Halloween themed room with all the other creepy items.

I visited Merka’s town over the weekend. We uh, planted some beans.

Jeff and Merka throwing beans in the New Leaf town of Muffy.I had a chat with some of her villagers, and I apparently made Drake sad when I told him the town was dirty. Oops. 😛

Drake: I can't believe you think our town is dirty.After a night at the Zelda Symphony on Saturday, I found six new StreetPass homes in the Happy Homes Showcase. I made sure to check out all of their houses.

Six people in the Happy Homes Showcase.On Sunday, my bank account balance reached 103 million bells.

In addition to giving some things away on Bell Tree and Facebook lately, I’ve also been visiting Club Tortimer. It’s mainly been to look for rare items in the shop (to then give away). But I’ve also met some interesting people. Olivia put on this werewolf hood, and then she started howling and growling.

Olivia, wearing a werewolf hood: OWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!Olivia: grrrrrrrr!I’ve also gone on some tours while on the islands.

Tortimer: For your outstanding performance, you've earned a Gold Tortimer award and 7 medals!On Monday, Vivian suggested a new PWP (public works project)! She said we should build a modern bench in town.

Vivian: A modern bench! You do agree, right? RIGHT?This is what it looks like. Honestly, it looks kind of plain. I normally like the modern PWPs, but this one looks like sit. 😛

Modern bench PWP: 52,800 bells.Lily asked me to fetch Bob for her. When I told Bob the news, he seemed afraid of Lily! He asked me to come along to protect him! From Lily? Wow, Bob is such a scaredy-cat!

Bob: You're coming with me, right, muffin? I need you to protect me if Lily's mad at me!But of course Lily wasn’t mad at Bob. She heard Bob was looking for her, but it turns out he just wanted to know how to spell a word! Except that he couldn’t remember what the word was. 😛

Bob: Oh, right. I wanted to ask you how to spell something. But I can't remember what word it was...I found Rolf sitting on the metal bench, so I had a seat next to him.

Jacob, on Club Tortimer: Awesome, a gold award!On the international island, I ran into a Japanese player who gave me a basket of each perfect fruit. That was nice of her.

Jeff: Oh, thank you!

Miiverse closed late last night, and I have not earned any more badges. Although I think I must be getting close to earning the gold visitor badge. I figured that I could perhaps edit my previous badge screen image once I get that one, so I’m not posting that GIF of my badges just yet. Hopefully soon, though! Don’t worry, I’m not going to wait for the weed-pulling or StreetPassing badges. Those could take years.

My recent dream visitors have been Fingus from Catville, Linkling from Poké, D1PP3R from Huricane, Colin from Domden, Haliegh from Mahogany, and Luna from Patue. Thank you all for visiting!

Mushroom Season Starts

As I went in Boots’ house to check out his two lamp on Sunday, he happened to ask me for furniture again. As you might’ve guessed, I already had a customized one lamp in my pockets ready for him.

Boots: OK! This is perfect! I'm going to think about placement and put it up a little later.
Think about placement? Who do you think you’re fooling? We both know exactly where that lamp is going.

Monday, Boots offered to trade his office chair for my zero lamp! That’s the last number I he needed!

Boots: I'll trade office chair o my team. Zero lamp on your team comes over to me.The countdown is now complete!

Big Top asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I buried it in the northwest corner of town (behind Re-Tail), and I’ll be sure not to open it this time. 😉

Big Top: I just put together a time capsule with my most prized possession inside. Now I just have to bury it!

Of course, yesterday was Halloween. I played a little bit to collect a few pumpkin heads I didn’t seem to have in storage any more.

I also loaded up my Booker character, since his mailbox was about to burst. He headed over to Re-Tail to sell some gifts from Mom, and he got harassed by a bunch of pumpkin-headed villagers. He was forced to talk to Molly…for the first time. 😛

Three pumpkin-headed villagers chase Booker around town.As I switched back to Jeff, I took this screenshot of a purple pumpkin-headed villager on the title screen. 😛

Boots: My secret dream is to own my own lightning tee...I’ve been giving away a bunch of my extra villager pictures lately. The only ones I have left are Agent S, Big Top, Daisy, Molly, and Rolf. Let me know if you’d like any of them.

November started today, and that means that it’s mushroom season now! I found a rare mushroom (worth 16,000 bells), and I also found a mush table disguised as a mushroom.

I thought it was a mushroom, but it's a mush table!At the campground, Harvey was feeding the birds. He gave me another set of beans, even though I already have one set. If you want it, let me know!
