First Fireworks Show! :D

August 1:
It was Kid Cat's birthday today! ^ ^ These are one of the only bulletin board notices that I keep anymore, too, since it's a way of keeping track of who lived in Shantaki, other than the town tree, that is.

All of my characters visited Kid Cat's party, but I only got pictures of Ryann this time. However, it seems like every time I go into his house with a different character, he had a different boom box in his room. I guess he must have gotten boom boxes from all the other villagers in the town for his birthday? :P

LOLL! Okay, I always have dinosaurs in my Re-Tail, so I can get an approximate 5,000 Bell profit from if I sold them regularly to Reese. I see it as the villagers paying their taxes, as I'm the Mayor, and they should pay me for taking care of the town, etc, but mostly for putting up with THEM - I mean, they're high-maintenance, right? ;) So, I ran out of dino parts to put up in the Flea Market section, and decided to try to get a profit on white lilies. Usually, they sell for 40 Bells, but I tried to sell them for 500 Bells...hahha, and Portia inquired about them, then raged on me....oops! xD


August 2:
Umm, nope, not sure where you're going with this....and I'd kind of like to keep it that way...

Aww, Melba! This reminded me of Amy's Melba, so she must've come from Citalune! :3


August 3:
Does anyone else think these shoes resemble pill bugs? Well, now, the pill bugs have reunited to be side by side in store. :O

Yay! I was hoping for someone to bring this up soon! Streetlights don't really belong to a theme of PWPs, so I think I'll use a lot of these in my town. ^ ^


August 4:
Wooo! First 2013 Fireworks Show! You bet I'll make it, Isabelle! (^-^d)

It's an interesting set-up that they have here in the Town Plaza! :) I assume Redd is here to rip people off again. Howevverrr, Isabelle is standing on one of my items! >.< And I can't pick it up. Serves me right for leaving my stuff lying around, though!

Ahemm, I didn't mean to set this off in broad daylight. I just wanted to set it down, but apparently that's not possible. So, for future reference to yous out there, don't try to set down a fountain firework, unless you want it to go off.

Ahh, I bought lots of turnips today, and set them to cover the strip surrounded by the river and the railroad tracks. I shall have a grand time getting these sold, too. -,-

I heard noises inside my house, and I knew fireworks were starting soon. I was praying that it wasn't thunder, but also thought it could have been the ocean since my house is so close. I haven't heard this before, and it wasn't brightening up my house, so it couldn't be a storm (no lightning), and had to step outside to see what it was. I couldn't believe myself. It was OBVI the fireworks show!! xD

I stepped out in my jazzy clothes and was ready to start a night of entertainment! ^ ^

Ouu, I was right. Redd was back to his phony sales.

And Kid Cat might think we're closer than friends..? JOKESS Animal Crossing is played by little children, too, so we've gotta keep it G-rated. xD

Okaay, this is pretty much where I just go crazy with pictures. I mean, who didn't on their entry with the first fireworks show? :D

Enjoying explosion fireworks with Chief! :)

Probably my favorite kind of firework.

My paw-print design! (Or actually, it was stolen from a dream..)

Enjoying the fireworks with Phil. :)

Enjoying the fireworks with Kid Cat. :)

Noah comes out for his grand entrance into the evening.

Photoshoottt--

--Hmm, actually, I'm not feelin' these heart boppers.

Playing with a fountain firework at the RIGHT time of day. :3

Central point of town - or where all the villagers like to hangout, that is. :)

Felicity makes her grand appearance!

Hmm, I'm feeling THESE heart boppers! They go perfectly with her outfit! (^-^d)

Count on a random balloon to ruin the feel of the night. :P Thinking about this more now, I liked the balloons more in Wild World. The balloons themselves aren't better, but the presents they carry. It's exciting for the first, like, 20 shoot-downs in New Leaf, but by then, you've collected all the balloon series, and that's all you can ever shoot down from them, (aside from silver and golden slingshots). Yet, they keep appearing, and expect you to shoot them down. I enjoyed how you wouldn't know what would be in the Wild World balloons, and you could continue to get things you didn't have - for free! (^-^d)

Portia and Felicity being surprised by how many bodies there are on the beach!

Ouu, why the sad face, Portia? :(

Felicity enveloped in the flame of the fountain firework...

...Ouu, probably not a good idea to let little children play with fire! xD

Blog entry got a little cheesy at the end --whoops! (:

The last bit of July - finally!

Yes, yes, I am aware of how far I have fallen behind, and it's pretty stressful. I'm hopefully going to finish getting caught up this weekend, because then school starts, and I definitely won't have time then to get caught up.

July 27:
So this was the last day of camp, after Shantaki was being babysat by my sister. Quite a bit happened in my town, as usual - I go away, and then everything happens. >.< My police station was built, though I knew that was coming, because I had nearly paid it all off before I left for camp.

I see that my sister found a suitable door and fence to go on Felicity's house! I'm looking for the whole brick look for her, so it shouldn't be hard to finish her house completely. My mayor's house, on the other hand, I'm still struggling with, to this day. I can't find anything that looks good with the chalet exterior! :( 

And, like the last time my sister babysat my town, my general store was upgrading! So tomorrow I will have the T.I.Y! Finally I can purchase bushes and K.K. songs!

I had the ceremony for my new police station today, as well. I don't know why Animal Crossing had us pick between Booker and Copper, though! :( 

I served Apple today, and it just made me think of CK's town, which has an Apple villager, BlueBell! I wonder if visiting one town so often, and talking to a neighbour just as often, encourages the villagers to buy coffee at your town. But, I doubt it. 

I saw that Jasper was online, and we arranged to get together. :) He wanted to show me around his town, since I had to abruptly leave last time we WiFied.

Perfect oranges! :) His town was already really developed - it looked like he had a very clear vision of what he wanted for his town - something I'm still trying to figure out for Shantaki! 

I saw that he arranged a mini-Main Street in his town for convenience - it was neat! 

Haha, Jasper never ceases to confuse me with his emotions - you mad, bro? ;)

His Town Square was quite beautiful, but I couldn't get it all in one picture, so you'll have to go over to his town and see for yourself the real beauty. :)

Right beside his Town Square was the Illumination Park. It looked like a bright night in Paris! Very nice, Jasper. :D

There's his waterfall that everyone is making a fuss over, again. It must be rare, because it seems nobody else has a visible waterfall.

APOLLO! He had Apollo AND Pierce in his town - so lucky! I had Pierce in my original Wild World town, and Apollo I've always wanted. :3

Ouu, what a place for a rock... and this is such a handy spot for the bridge, too, like how those flowers come up the side and stop right where the bridge starts. It's really unfortunate how you can't remove, add, or even relocate rocks in your town. :(

It was very convenient that Pii was able to come over to Windfall after Jasper gave me a tour! I've been reading Pii's blog, but I've never been able to WiFi with her - it might be because our timezones are pretty different. 

However, shortly after I took a group picture, I had to leave, since it was time for me to pack again. :( It was really nice meeting Pii, but unfortunate that I had to leave so soon. 


July 28:
The T.I.Y. came today!

And I said goodbye to Ruby today, as well. It was time for her to go - I really couldn't have an entrance to Ryann's house with her there! >.<

Noah got the Village Representative badge!

My zen house is finished! Well, the house parts, but I'm still saving up for the zen castle build to complete the look. :D


July 29:
Umm, thank you...? Now I'm being called a kind of shoe...like, Amy wasn't able to make a character called Violet because there was a monkey villager already called that, but villagers are allowed to make a nickname of a kind of shoe for sale in Kicks..? Allrrighhttt..

HOLY. I didn't know the name of this item when I saw it in Aika village, and I was wondering what this item was, so I placed it in my house and did NOT expect this to pop out of the leaf! :O This thing is waayy to spooky for me to keep.

I'm not sure if this is normal, but I have a lot of people in my Happy Home Showcase!

HAHH I CAUGHT A TARANTULA! I'm not too worried if all my characters catch it before they go out of season, because there's always next year! However, I'll be disappointed if I miss it with all my players, therefore leaving the museum without that species as well. 

Has anyone else encountered this mysterious villager? His name is Eugene, and he is a koala, but he's not in the Animal Crossing: New Leaf guide anywhere. Even when I was looking for his coffee, I couldn't get it right because he only told me the coffee beans he liked. I looked him up online too, and others have been wondering about him...strange, huh?


July 30 & 31:
The first time I've seen the Reset Centre open since I built it! The whole centre is a lot like the one in City Folk: when you go into the City and run town a street to the right and hope that the pylons are open at the end of it. The manhole opens and you can jump down it the night of a sunny day after a wet day. If that made much sense. xD I'll leave what it looks like inside up to your imagination, or until you experience it yourself. :)

July 31st. The day I was able to sit under my tree and recall all of the historical events of Shantaki. This marks 52-53 days of having your town alive! :D

Has anyone else seen this object in their police station? Or found it in the ground? I don't really understand it, to be honest, because all it does is make the crack on the ground smaller, (see in the picture below). 


Hmm, Phil, I'll pass. I mean, it's 648,000 Bells, approximately, and it's a cat that sits in the middle of your town...somehow I doubt that's worth it.
