Animal Crossing New Leaf US: Battling Mosquitoes

Stalk Market

AM: 84 bells
PM: 100 bells
Keep climbing turnip prices!

It’s a cloudy day in Hanabi today. It hasn’t rained, but it looks like it could at any moment. Umbrellas on standby!

New Villager!

Shep's hep pad?

Shep’s hep pad?

I’ll admit to being a little worried as I walked over to greet Hanabi’s newest villager, Shep. I didn’t know what to expect.

I walked in to introduce myself, wincing a little—he wasn’t grossly deformed or green! Score! I think he’s pretty cute. Some may say he needs a haircut, but that just makes him a little mysterious and laidback.

Vella the great? I think it's a little too early in my tyrannical rule to start that.

My one complaint is that his house has my wallpaper and floor. Now I need to switch it up. If only Nookling’s Junction sold wallpapers and floors. Maybe I can do favors and someone will give me some as a reward.

First Camper

Ooooh I wonder who's inside!

I went over to the river where the campsite is. I didn’t expect to see anything, but there was a bright orange tent pitched. I walked in to find Vladimir, a pink bear. He was very enamored with Hanabi village, especially our cherries (they are pretty fabulous). He was so enamored that he asked if he should move in. I think we’ve got our fill of bears and cubs with Barold and Charlise, so I turned him down. But I hope he enjoys his stay and doesn’t get bit by too many mosquitoes.

Yup, we've got loads of yummy cherries pinkie.

I'm sure it's good...whatever it is.

Gardening Store

The pretty little garden store

Main Street is booming! Yesterday’s banging and clanging has ceased and a new store has taken up residence: the garden center. Hanabi can sure use a gardening store. The new proprietor’s name is Leif. He’s a bit slow, but keeps a beautiful fragrant little shop. I only wish he had an axe. My mayorship for an axe!

I have a request: an axe. Please. Please.

I bought out the flowers and the sapling. I hear tell that if you buy enough flower seeds Leif will give you a silver watering can. I’m already over this old watering can so I intend to buy out the store every day.

Going Up!

It should go without saying that I made a tidy profit last night on the island. I deposited it in my bank account because I was waiting for Nook to set up my new loan. This morning the bank had sent me a box of tissues as a reward for storing my money with them.

This morning Nook had gotten the tally for my loan: $198,000 bells. I reluctantly paid it off and then went to see what exterior items he had on display. Still nothing that struck my fancy, but I’m not sure what look I want for my house. Of course every time I go to see him he corners me and makes me feel that my house is inadequate. When he offered to build a second story on my house I just couldn’t say no.

Well, no, I just don't like being in debt...

Cozy. Yes, I like cozy second floors.

I should have. It will set me back $298,000 bells. To the island I will go. Come on sharks! (Sharks sell for $15,000 bells each)

Altruism

Lest you think I’m just a money grubbing mayor (it’s hard to argue with that…) I did make a few altruistic donations to the museum today. I had the painting I bought from Redd yesterday appraised. It was deemed legitimate and I donated it to the museum. Now every wing has at least one item in it.

The first exhibit in the museum wing: a Neutral Painting.

I also donated a nasty flea I caught off of Victoria (though she’d rather I didn’t tell anyone about that).

  1. I have a few questions.
    1.can the island be access with freinds via local or jsut wifi?

    2.sites say that it take about 100 days to upgrade the nooklins shop to its final form is it true?

    3.the sites say that it takes 30 weeds,30 planting flowers,and 30 watering flowers to get the garden store. or do you only have to do one of the three?
    4. Does the fish and insect catalog have the same amount of bugs and fish spots asthe japanese or did they leave fish and bugs out?

    5.can sea creature like the sea grape be add to the museum?

    6.are you getting the us guide book and well you post info on what any new holiday or events added just for the us version?(since they jsut remove them and never replace them in the last ones)

  2. @ckw
    1) Ask me about connectivity at a later date.
    2) it took me 3 months just to see Gracie Grace in town the appropriate amount of times. I think how long the upgrade takes is based a lot on luck.
    3) As far as I can tell just one of them 30 times. It could also be any number of them combined to equal 30 times. I have no way of checking. But you don’t have to do *all* of them.
    4) Same
    5) Yes
    6) I have no intention of purchasing a US guidebook. I’ll blog about my experiences with US events, but I don’t intend to consult a guidebook for that purpose.
