Days 14 and 15

As I stepped out of my house this morning, I was stopped by Dr.Shrunk, asking if he could open a shop up in Main Street! Though, it's not really a shop, more like a...club!

He asked me to get 6 signatures from the villagers in town, since clubs can be noisy at night, and not everyone would particularly want that. I think this is a neat addition, as the game told us that the villagers were more involved in the community in New Leaf. ^^ 

I walked into Drake's house to get a signature, and it looked like I interrupted something...they both seemed shocked that I walked in, so I'm just gonna get the signatures and leave quietly...

Kicks finished moving in, (after 3 days of anticipation!) I can finally shoe shop!

Then, I went over to Miagen, so my sister could use me for my axe. -,- It turns out I could only cut down one and a half trees before mine broke as well. :3 Her flower path is really pretty, though! I think I'm going to use the same idea, but with lilies instead. :D

We went to the island after that, mainly to fish/bug catch. We kept competing for the lead, since no one wants to 'follow the leader'. It came to the point where I was whacking her for cutting in front of me, hehehe. Nothing like sisterly love. <3

Then I returned to Shantaki and was captured by the moon's gaze - it was spooky. :D Had anyone watched Martin Mystery as a kid? That's what this moon reminded me of. ^^

Day 15:

My villagers' hard work paid off! I've been seeing them stand over a flower path, think like they were fiddling around in their pockets, then poop out a flower! They've made almost all this patch of flowers, in fact. It originally was just a storage spot while I was doing some renovations on my town, but it seems my villagers had something different in mind - pink tulips!

I also completed my Dream Suite project yesterday, so I needed to have a ceremony for it today. Luna came, because it's her business, and so did the villagers that were outside at the moment. The looks on all their faces are priceless! Did they not know the popping noise was coming? xD

Just as soon as I finished up the Dream Suite project, Blathers thought it would be time to put an addition onto the museum! I finished that project today too, so we'll be looking forward to the ceremony tomorrow. ^^

OMG, I had to put this picture in here. These Pikman hoods/hats are too funny, I can't cope. The noise that they make when you flip into them as well - it's hysterical! xD

Today I found my third gold nugget as well, so I could make my first piece of the golden series! I didn't get to choose which one, though I'm not complaining that I got the golden wardrobe! :3

This is my island so far, guys. :D My idea was to make it as colorful as possible without it being too much. I have two of each kind of exotic fruit on there at the moment, except for persimmons. (I've got lychees, lemons, durians, and mangoes). I've also got coconut and banana palms around the outside. :)

Okay, so I've had this bamboo shoot since nearly the beginning of Noah's time, but I'm not sure how to plant it! I'd really like to plant it soon, so I can start spreading it around my town, but that's the problem here. Apparently, when you plant it, and it grows up, seeds automatically get spread around the base of the plant and they start growing without your assistance as well. Then, it would mass produce like crazy! I don't want it to produce crazily, but I'd like to have some in my town! I need your thoughts: do you think I should plant it here? And perhaps chop down the surrounding shoots every time they grow? Or not even plant them at all in my town, since they require too much maintenance?

The boys got together at Miagen to go to the island and cliff jump together! They're the only two of all our characters to have wet suits, since we're waiting for the rarer ones to appear in the island gift shop. As you can see, Violet and Bluebear have always wanted to see people jump into the ocean, perhaps even jealous they can't do the same. ;)

Ahh, Micah has developed his beach so nicely! He's got a cove just in the right place to have a grand entrance to his dock! Plus, he was able to stick his house right on top of the ramp! So lucky! ^^

Here's how my balloon room is shaping up too! :3

Oh! This is what I was talking about; how neighbors think they're being helpful by planting flowers onto the end of flower patches. Portia is thinking, anticipating which flower to plant beside this lovely yellow lily. xD

Days 12 and 13

So this was actually from two nights ago, but I had blogged before these pictures took place. I went over to Cheryl's town and watched the meteor shower with her! It was really pretty! :D 

Then we ditched the meteor shower and continued on to the island. Unfortunately, the shower wasn't on the island as well. Strange!

Really, Kapp'n? However, I could understand where you were coming from, looking at Cheryl, that is. She's Luigi! :3

Day 12: Now, this is yesterday. Not much happened, though construction on Main Street did take action.

Katie's back! I was excited to see her - she's probably my favorite guest in town. (Y) My sister was writing an exam at the moment, so I had to ditch Katie and go indoors, taking her to Miagen later. I was super scared when my sister came home, however, because I couldn't find Katie anywhere! I had heard that she moves on if you don't deal with her right away either! :(

I ran into Main Street to do my dailies while my sister was away, and I remembered that yesterday, the bulletin board read that the Nook brothers were upgrading today to the T&T Mart! This means a slingshot!! And two fortune cookies!! And later hours!! :D

Guess who I found...Katie! She remained roaming around the town, thank goodness, and I could take her over to Miagen now! So I did, but as I was boarding the train, I noticed a blue rectangle had dropped on the floor. Katie look surprised as soon as she turned around and saw it sitting there, and she ran off the train to pick it up! As soon as she stepped off the train, the doors closed behind her, and I left immediately! I was so surprised! And frustrated that she probably wouldn't be there when I got back! Like, did I do something??

So I ended up going to Miagen by myself...but I decided I may as well make the best of it! I took a picture with my sister, which I realized I hadn't done yet! It's too bad it was a gloomy day - not too nice of a background for our group picture. :3

---

Day 13:

OMG, I was super relieved to wake up to this letter! Katie attached a sketchbook with it too, and it shows her drawings in it - aww!

And today was the Summer Solstice, as most may know. ^^ It was literally bright ALL day and night! And here I am, posing like a loner in front of the cut-out stands, by myself. I read others' blogs to see that they did the same, so I'm not alone. :3

Orange lilies bred, OMG! I'm planning to make my flower path out of lilies that leads all around town, so this just makes me happy to see that my lovely patch is breeding my town's national flower! :D

And today was the grand opening of the Dream Suite! Luna seems pretty wise and dreamy, we all know people like that, right? I'm excited to visit others' towns and possibly snatch ideas for my town, hehe. :3

Though it only shows Noah here, both of my characters got medals today. My editing software glitched out the other one while it was saving. >.< Noah's 50% done his bug encyclopedia, so he got the Insect Maniac badge, and Ryann got the Village Representative badge for playing a lot. ^^

I wanted to stay up for to see just how long the sun would stay up in Shantaki, though I needed to get to bed for horseback riding tomorrow. It was 10:29pm in my town, and it looked like 1pm. This game has crazy exaggeration. :3

Days 10 and 11

When I was roaming around in my town in the morning, I found a mitten on the ground, and immediately thought of Katie, though I'm not sure why. I picked it up and it was labelled 'lost item'. I had never heard of these! I searched around for the owner, and it was Phil's. He just gave me a present, like he would if I was running an errand for him. I guess it's a neat feature that they added?

Also, I finished a little fence that I can use for flowers or item exchanging. We had another lovely ceremony, how nice. :D

I went over to Drake's house later that day, and something really strange happened! I was talking to him, and he told me to look in his drawers. So, I did. Usually, they just say weird things when you click on them, because naturally you're not going to be able to actually creep their drawers. But then it told me that he had a hammock stored in there, and shortly after, Drake got angry at me for opening them! But he ended up giving me the hammock anyways..? I feel like I've messed that story up, but I wasn't exactly paying attention to him until my character got all excited about receiving the hammock. :s 

Then I took another cool shot while jumping off the dock on my beach. ^^

And I got a scallop diving! It was actually really creepy how he just popped up behind me! Then he gave me an anchor, and gave me advice. Or what he called advice. All he said is that he'd love to be a millionaire, when I'm pretty sure everyone is. And advice is supposed to help people. This just reminds them that they don't have money. :s Then he floated away. Strange man.

It was raining in my town, as usual, but this time I used it to my advantage. :D Noah got a chance to catch a coelacanth! So he did, and I was proud. :3

And I ended the day by going to the island and touring. :) This waterfall made me think of Amy, how she's able to take pictures with her waterfall in the background, head on. I'm quite jealous of that. I'm actually jealous of a lot of things....hmm, probably not a good thing :3

Day 11:

I walked into Main Street this morning to find more construction happening in my town! Again, no surprise to what this is, I've seen it in others' towns. It's Kicks! And I'm super excited about him moving in! That means I can go SHOE SHOPPING! :D But apparently he takes 3 days to move in, so I'll be waiting a few days. :(

What?? Phil! I didn't know they planned when they moved out! Of course I said no to this, but I haven't even got all my people moved into my town, so how is this possible?? Plus, I would be sad if any of my villagers moved out, I'm pleased with everyone that's moved in! :)

And then I decided to take a photo shoot of Ryann on the bridge. I'm not too sure why, I guess I just needed to show the world her outfit, I think I did a good job pairing it. :D

Isabelle was sleeping when I came into the Town Hall! But, I knew it was coming. In fact, I went looking for her to be sleeping, because now I get the Dream Suite opportunity for Shantaki! Really excited about this! ^^

I tested out Club Tortimer for my first time today as well! It's a really neat feature - you can pick to go to North America (for where I live), or go worldwide. There are positives to both, actually! If you go only in your country, you know most of the people there will  speak your language. And worldwide: you might go to a different time zone! Possibly where it's night time, and you're free to late-night bug catch-- during the day! Anyways, I met a Japenese (^) who I really couldn't understand. :( I think I made her angry, so sorry for that. :s I also met a guy named Tyson (if I remember correctly), and he's with me in the left picture. I liked his wet suit! At the top, I went to an island where three people were already there, me making it maximum capacity for people at a time! When I came out, they were twirling around on stumps - cute! Their names were Alicia, Chris, and Robert!

After experimenting with that, I WiFied with Ck! Her character's name was Cheryl, and she seemed really friendly! However, I talked to her villagers, and they were creepy! Ahh, ahah!

Ahh, I was pretty jealous of her beach too - it has a little cove that you can plant banana and coconut palms on! Or possibly flowers, but I'm not sure who would want flowers on their beach. :3

After I was finished creeping, I helped Cheryl catch a diving beetle! She said she's never caught them, which was strange, because I see them quite a bit in my town! They are really tricky to catch!

I also took advantage of the fact that BlueBell, (her town), was actually currently in July, so I caught myself a banded dragonfly! Not sure how easy they are in this game, but if I remember correctly, banded dragonflies would speed away from you when spotted, and it was irritating. >.< And look at the size of one of her holding ponds! I've never seen one so BIG!

Oh, and I bought a lovely megaphone while I was over there too, and my villagers should watch out because....now I've got POWER! >:D

After a while, Cheryl came over to Shantaki, and we took a nice picture together in front of the fountain. :) 

She really scared me when she popped up with "OMG!" I was like whaatt?? And apparently she loves Kidcat. Can't blame her-- he's a pretty cool guy! ^^

Aww, twinzies! Haha, not literally, but she helped me water my flowers, which was nice :3, and we looked off into the distance together as we came up from watering - dramatic shot! ;)

Then we scooted over to my island, and I tried on her wig. :) Hmm, nah. She offered to let me have it, but it looks way better on her! Plus, I felt like I was stealing, since I asked her to let me try it on for my catalog. :$

Ahhhh these things scare me! We went on a spider crab diving tour, (that I picked, and I'm not too sure why), and we did well! :) It was hard when I tried to do it with Club Tortimer members.

Then, Cheryl had to go home, so Kapp'n escorted us back across the ocean. It was really nice to connect with you today, Ck!

Ohh, and did my villagers ever hear me coming with my megaphone when I was off of WiFi. Unfortunately, you can't use it over WiFi. :( 

So I yelled at them through the microphone on my 3DS, a cool feature for finding your towns members quickly! Portia and Kidcat looked really surprised, and I got a kick out of that, but Phil definitely got te worst. I yelled in his face ahaha, and he didn't seem to like it. xD Sorry, Phil!

I WASN'T happy you couldn't use it on Main Street either. I wanted to see if Kapp'n could hear me nooww! 

And then I went to the museum and looked at my donations. This was actually the first time I had been down there, and it was really pretty! So I snapped a shot in front of my lovely sharks. ^^

Phineas showed up, and I got the Bronze Medalist badge! I guess touring lots pays off!

OMG. HOLY FRICK APPLE IS CUTE. She's a pink little chipmunk - how much more adorable can she get?! I want her, omg! And she was trying to be 'SO very cute' today, like YOU ALREADY ARE YOU LITTLE BALL OF FLUFF! :D

Man, that was a long post. :O I guess a lot happened these two days. I did go over to Cheryl's twice in a day, and I found out some strange things that can occur in New Leaf. Ehh, these were two good, eventful days in Shantaki. (Y)
