xyzzysqrlGood morning! Animal Crossing time! I know I've been drawing this diary on, and I know y'all must REALLY WANT to see something ELSE by now... but I'm sorry, this is really fun and low-stress, and I've been a bundle of depression lately. So... more Animal Crossing. You really can't be depressed playing Animal Crossing. Not for long, anyway.
Hm. When my character comes outside, they fan themselves wildly and look miserable. I'm thinking my weird dress is just too hot for this warm summer weather. Maybe I should pick up some more new clothing. First it's time for a mail-check. Ooh, big pack of letters, mostly from the people I mailed yesterday.
Pompom tells me they read my letter over and over, so many times they missed their dance class. Oops, I have contributed to Pompom's delinquency with my naked statue. Bertha enthusiastically talks about "hooking up" some time soon, while Curt informs me that it took him all night to figure out how to write back. Finally, Gulliver sends his regards from Vietnam, and has sent me a gift from the locals.
Surely this will cool me off? ... Right. No.
The Ables don't open their doors until 10 AM, so I have a half hour to kill. I stroll around watering flowers and such. I also spend time digging up fossils, and... since it rained yesterday... some Gyroids. Ergh. Okay, someone asked me about gyroids and I should explain them for the non-AC crowd. Here are two Gyroids. A "Gargloid" and a "Timpanoid".
As you can see, they are hideous visages of fixed, frozen horror. They're loosely based on Haniwa, which are clay idols that used to be buried with people, or placed on top of grave-mounds. So that's bad enough. (And you DIG THESE UP, remember.) That's not all, though. What you don't get from this still image is twofold:
A: The "gargloid", the one on the left, twitches and vibrates every few seconds. The "Timpanoid" spasms downward, as if doubling over in pain.
B: They make noise. The "gargloid" makes a gurgling, strangling sound, while the Timpanoid makes a sort of clunking rattle.
So, to review, you can dig up freaky-faced clay idols that gyrate and twitch and emit endless strange sounds and display them in your home, where they will do their thing forever, even in the dark, as they sit across from your bed.
Or you can put them in a room to themselves and listen to the cacophony of noises build and swell to fill the room, echoing off the walls, pounding into your mind forever
YEAH
NO
ACTUALLY FUCK NO
THESE GET SOLD RIGHT AWAY.
Reese will hopefully put them where they can't hurt anyone.
Sigh. Fossils for the day: A trilobite (I remember them, they made good puzzle games) and a tricera skull.
By this time, the Sisters are open. I pick up a cooler outfit from them...
And have my customary chat with Sable, who points out a brand new sewing machine in the back. Apparently her sisters chipped in to give her a new one, but Sable can't figure out how that newfangled technology works. It's something to do with a "3DS camera" and "QR codes", but Sable uses it as a paperweight. However, I'M young and capable of understanding things like that, so why don't -I- give it a try?
Oh. Hell. Yes. I've been hoping for this to unlock. There are a plethora of sites around the Internet providing QR codes for custom outfits, and I'm eager to try one. For example...
This is a nice White Mage outfit!
(Thanks to SiliconEra!)
Do YOU have an outfit you'd like to see me in? I accept requests, if you can find a QR code for it! For now, though, I accessorize a bit and roll out on the town. You guys have NO IDEA how happy I am that I have a closet to store my clothes in. Seriously.
Because I do occasionally actually do my job, I drop in on Isabelle. What does the Citizen Satisfaction Committee have to say about my performance at the moment? The public works! Need more projects! More ordinances! Okay fine. I plunk in the big chair and think a moment. Lately I have been up all night. What if I passed the "Night Owl Town" ordinance?
Sounds wonderful! 20,000 bells down and I've dictated that starting tomorrow everyone stays up super-late along with me. Presumably the 20,000 bells goes towards buying everyone deluxe cappicinos so they can keep up with my pace. I guess it is good to be the ma--
Wait, who are you?
Oh hey, it's Joan! Sow Joan runs the Stalk Market. Every week on Sunday (which it is) you can buy turnips. The price of turnips rises and falls throughout the week, and by the end of the week they've rotted away. Your challenge is to buy low from the sow and sell high so you can turn-up a profit from your turnips. Also, turnips are EXTREMELY SENSITIVE to time paradoxes, so if youplay with your system clock travel around in time at all, they self-destruct. Must keep them away from the phone booth in my bedroom.
I'm not making any of this up, you know. Okay, the phone booth thing I made up. But nothing else.
I buy 50 turnips at 104 bells per. That's 5200 bells I have in the stalk market now, and if a better price comes up at Re-Tail, I can cash in. Man, today's an EXPENSIVE day, isn't it? I do some stuff to offset all that spending, like running deliveries. I end up over at Teddy's place, where Pompom is also hangin'. We talk a while, I play the piano for them, Teddy gives me some dubious advice...
And it's a good time all around.
As I'm dorking around with my shovel, I manage to bust a rock, and what pops out?
So that's nice.
Ozzie is a koala after my own heart.
So draws to a close this day, for now.
I'll likely load up later and do some fishing on the island for more cash. Gotta pay the loan, gotta finish that bridge!
