Here's what it looks like when you reunite the lost kitten with her equally lost mother. Grant and I were happy to arrange this delightful scene, although it didn't net us any super-rare Lost Kitten furniture series or anything. The next day, I received a Lily Pad Table in the mail, which was about the third most common item back on the GameCube.
I wonder how often this is set to happen. I've been meeting up with people online pretty often, and I would hate to have to go through this every month, despite it being really cute.
Other notable ACWW news: Nook continued his fast-paced upgrade schedule and I am now at the Nookington's level. This Nookington's is about twice as big as the GameCube Nookington's, plus it has a hair salon in the back. The building is gigantic, towering over the Able Sisters next door. As if Sable didn't have enough of a complex!
My first haircut was terrible. My second haircut was okay. My third haircut is a blue DBZ number that is probably as amazing as it is likely to get. (Here's a haircut cheat sheet that shows all the options.)
Had a marathon Open Gate Night tonight (three hours!), featuring visits by Cutter, Champtim, Marci, Kevin, Boney and Matti. I believe I have formed my first Open Gate Night rule: if you chop down a tree, you get un-Friended. Maybe not forever, but there is definitely to be a penance period.
Boney stopped by with an armload of awesome headgear and accessories to share, including the King Tut Wig that I was drooling over when I saw it in the Nintendo Power ACWW writeup. Maybe someday someone will turn up with that million-bell crown or me to briefly touch.
Later, after I closed the gate, I caught a dung beetle... and I ran into Harriet (of the hair salon) enjoying a late night coffee at the museum cafe. I wonder if other daytime characters appear there in their off hours!
Blanca was in town again today, and she had what I thought was a rather nice face. It was created by Asia of Meadows (whom I have never met). From now on, if I have my camera nearby, I'm going to snap shots of the Blanca heads I see. Nice work, Asia!
I have now purchased THREE forged paintings from Crazy Redd, which amounts to almost 10,000 wasted bells. I can't believe Nintendo found a way to make this guy suck even harder than he used to. His new Members Only password scheme is obnoxious too (although I am glad that the passwords now come in the mail rather than having to ferret it out of a random villager conversation.)
The Blathers Saga has continued, much to my surprise. He recently told me about how he can't take Celeste camping because of his bug phobia. I've heard that several other characters have hidden Sagas... like Brewster and Harriet, so I'm talking to them now as well. By the way, the finale for the Sable Saga ends with her giving you a different happy response for every day of the week, which is a long way from the ol' brush-off she gives you before you start her Saga.
