Wohooo first day of summer vacations!! FINALLY! I’ll hopefully be able to post a lot more often and work on my town a lot more now! I’m very excited!
Hope everyone who has already started had a wonderful summer and good luck on the new school year. And to those of us on vacation, happy summer!! 😀 Now onto the post…
I decided to call these following updates on my town Lilycott diaries. Since my previous ones were explaining my first month in Lilycott, these next ones could be more entitled to getting a perfect town, the layout of Lilycott… I don’t know, I guess we can try 😛
Oh wait… and ugh my posts get sooooo long, sorry guys!
Wait, wait, sorry one last thing: the almost perfect town is a bit of an exaggeration
Let’s start off with the celebration of the town fountain! ^^ My idea is to plant orange and pink tulips all around it, kinda creating a nice sunset-ish garden right at the entrance of town!
I had to redo a side of my three-space wide path, so it would look symmetrical, and while cutting down trees I came across a special tree stump.
Swimming in the moonlight 😀
Graham told me he was going to move for the 2nd time, and the first time I had said he should move because his house was in the way of my path, however the second time he asked I didn’t have the heart to say yes 😦
Slowly building my forest…
And placing a bench in next to my fruit tree “forest” next to a cliff. I’ve been working quite a lot on the left side of town, but my right side is almost bald, haha.
And I believe this was my second silver slingshot flying around town, bu now I have about 5 of them, so if anyone needs them…
Some progress made on my island, and a purple pansy! Choco was asking me how I got it, in my experience, it just showed up with the blue pansies, however google says red+red make a purple hybrid…?
Why hello, Gulliver.
We are to globs in the water, wait… we who?
Choco came to visit!! Or shall I say Mr. Chocolate, I wish I could grow such a mustache!
I showed her around my treasure island and we moved onto swimming and getting stung by so many jellyfish.
Our attempts at jumping off at the same time
Choco has recently started her newest town, Delltune, and she told me how much she misses peaches as native fruit, so I let her take a couple ones!! (she really helps me out later, too!)
She was not kidding when she said she was going to do some shopping, she whipped clean the stores!! 😀
She even bought some fortune cookies, for us to eat!
We then decided I should visit her town, which has a beautiful town flag! o.o and I forgot to take pictures of it, but the entrance was decorated beautifully with chocolate-themed patterns ^^.
Coincidentally matching umbrellas!
And jumping off cliffs! I love seeing how beaches are shaped in so many towns, my town only has a tiny little cliff that you can actually jump off to the water from, so I love making the most of my swimming sessions in other towns 😛
Another shark!! I’m starting to believe sharks are much more common when WiFing, is that possible?
Again, we are to globs under water ^.^
Hahah, I laughed so much here, we “discovered” than when wearing a wetsuit and pressing A while facing each other, it looks like you’re hugging!!
Choco showed me some beautiful artwork she had made, it actually explains a story, can you guess what it says? Tiny disclaimer: it is a sad story 😦
It took me a while to realize what Choco was doing at this time, she later told me she was building a maze! At first I was filling up all the holes >.<
Awee, Kapp’n, traveling with you is always a pleasure.
We mostly played mini games on the island, they are soooo much more fun with a companion!!
Heheh, I won that one, Choco!
Can you just see our faces of joy? We couldn’t stop winning! We are the BEST PLAYERS EVAAAAA
… remember what I said about being the best players?
But we couldn’t accept a loss, so we decided to play memory again! However Choco’s internet got cut off, and I literally was in that same position for like a minute, the hole time I was saying stuff like “uh, Choco?” “HELP!” “I think I’m stuck”
After that tiny incident, she came back to visit Lilycott, to see K.K perform at my Club!
While waiting until 8pm we played some hide and seek.
And I discovered that my museum actually sells silver tools! Woot!
Do you think she sees me?
Spoiling my town tree… :3
And clubbing like we were born for it! 😛
Thanks for visiting, Choco, I had a wonderful time!
*
Yay! My first mushroom!
Celebrating the town’s new bench and…
GAH swimming with sharks!
And this shall be the placement of the new fence I’ll put up!
Oh my goooood!! I seriously freaked out when I read this, do you understand what this means? Perfect town, here I come!!! (It’s not perfect, but I can’t believe I’m so close to it!)
Just playing a humble game of hide-and-seek ^^
And some more online meetings! I got to visit the lovely Delltune again, here’s the entrace I was talking about! (It’s kinda like chocolate, isn’t it?)
Teru was also there, and she gave us both lots of hybrid roses, beautiful!
I had brought over some fossils and gems to help Choco with her collection, but I felt bad that I didn’t have anything for Teru!
Another shark!
And another game of hide-and-seek, can you believe we’re all behind a house right now? It was Teru’s genius hiding place!
We then made time to visit my town, Lilycott.
And they both benefited from having Joan there, since my town is a day later than real time (yes, I time traveled… but only 24h!)
They both very kindly helped out with the donations of the fence, I kinda felt bad, thanks so much, guys!!
Heheh, we were waiting to see if Amy would show up, and a friend went online so I got my hopes up! 😛
Playing around my stump!
And Teru realized it was in an inconvenient place, so since she has a silver axe, she cut a new one in a better place, thank you!!
Ahahah, in this picture it looks like we’re waiting in line to buy turnips, I hope you’re happy with your customers, Joan!
Before Teru left, I asked if I could show her one of my favorite spots in town, the treasure island/secret garden, you have to swim to be able to get there, (see my map here), so I lend her my wetsuit and told her where to go 😛
She told me about a pansy that looked like it was glitched, I never had realized that! It’s like the cliff eats off a part of it! Heheh.
She then had to leave, good bye Teru, thanks for coming!
And when I came back… HOLY GUACAMOLE! Choco said she had spend over 600K on turnips!!
What she said.
Remembering old memories, aaah, good times!
Racing and… you guessed it, getting stung by jellyfish!
Choco then also had to leave, I had a wonderful time!
*
Yay!! Look how pretty they look!! 😀
And sporting my new fav hat! ^^
Hahah, I probably would’ve bought this in my Wild World town, but not here, I’m the mayor; people expect me to be wise! 😛
Wooho!
o.o what’s this? A BALD SPOT IN TOWN?
And thanks to the tip I heard Teru mention in her last post, I caught my first bee! (second try). I remember how much I struggled to catch one of these in Wild World, in New Leaf it was actually a lot easier!
Awee, how could I not give my favorite cereal (get it? ’cause of Golden Grahams, and his name is Graham… hahah, oh) a perfect peach?
Hey look, Kapp’n looks asleep!!
Woo! Villagers have started to recognize the Beautiful Town ordinance in Lilycott!
SO EXCITING!
Sorry, I had to, I was crying of laughter every time my character fell.
Yay!! Leif announced that, with the opening of T.I.Y he will be expanding his shop!!
I attended Roscoe’s birthday party, I love how they announce them on the bulletin board, so I don’t forget 😛
This was too cute to not to take a picture of it.
New PWP requests!
And celebrating the new fence in Lilycott!
Graham also recognizing the ordinance (I promise this is almost the end, just a couple more pictures).
And awww I caught Dizzy watering flowers! Good elephant!!
Every time I see the train pass by I get excited and try to chase it, this is still pretty new to me!
I love the afternoon talks I had with Choco every now and then!
How was I supposed to not take a picture of this?
Blah, swallowed some sand.
But to cheer myself up a bit I topped everything off with some midnight clubbing (actually 9pm clubbing, tomorrow was a school night )
EDIT: If Teru, Amy and Choco read this: would you guys like to arrange a WiFi, all four of us? I’m going to be free pretty much all day except on certain days/weeks (like next week, for example, I’ll only have afternoon) but when would you guys be available? I’m sooooo excited to meet you all again, and reunite “the gang” heheh.
Aww.. I had fun during our wi-fies! 😀 Too bad Amy wasn’t able to come.. >.< Omg did your rainbow roses just showed up like that the next morning? or you grew them yourself and arranged it? Also, the red rose Teru gave was a hybrid rose! You can let it hybrid with the blue rose to get more hybrid red roses/blue roses! I got two blue roses today thanks to Teru's roses. ^__^ Haha, I chase the trains too back then when I started AC:NL! 😆 It was fun having a race with the train… the train always wins….. T_T..
I love our talks too! It's late night for me though but it's great having a nice little chat before I go to bed. 🙂 Calms me down after a tiring day at school. ^__^
P.S. Yes. You’re close to becoming a perfect town! Hm, When I got that message I thought I already have a perfect town! But it seems like I need a bit more PWPs..I think you should have at least 10 PWPs but there are certain PWPs that I think reduces the count like… drilling rigs,garbage cans and bright PWPs.. like the illuminated arch maybe? xP
Hahah noo, Teru have them all to me (all the different colors) and I placed them like that and I’m currently reproducing them, hahah sorry for the confusion! That would be nice, though, if hybrids would just show up 😛
Yay!! I’m so happy with the hybrids Teru gave us, too! I’ve been able to create a couple blue ones too!
Yup… the train always wins -.-
Aww, I’m glad you enjoy our talks as well, sorry it’s so late for you, though, we have a pretty big time difference!
Omg, well guess what happened today? Isabella told me “it’s riding the so-so rails (so average!)” uuuughhhh why? I almost cried hahah. I’m not sure what happened, I built a rack of rice and planted more trees. Anyway, she still says I need more PWPs so hopefully that’ll give me a perfect town! 🙂
Ahhh I see. 😀
I checked mine too today! We have the same status right now! Yesterday, it was ‘almost’.. 😦 Dang..
😦 I hate the so-so thingy, whyyy?? hahah
Ahh I dunno.. Do you have lots of buried stuff on your town? garbage?? or maybe you cut off some trees and triggered that so-so rating.. 😦 It’s okay! You’ll get it someday!
Nope, I only planted new trees and I don’t have anything lying around… I guess more PWPs is the only solution!
Haha I always chase the train too if I see it early enough — and get this, you’re faster than the train! Only by a smidgen though 😛
It’s great to see your nighttime and beachy/islandy adventures with Choco 😀 And the new things you’re adding to improve your town like the forest and PWPs!
Lol, Dizzy’s comment confused me at first: “You have a reputation for being a real shark, a bear” xP
Thanks for having me over, it was sooo good to see you and Choco again!! And wow, I didn’t know Choco would end up working so hard on harvesting turnips after I left 😆
Really?? I could promise the train is faster… hahah.
Thank you, Teru!! Hahah, Dizzy can say some awkward things sometimes, I think that’s why I like him so much, he was saying it so we could play hide-and-seek.
It was so great to see you too! Hahah I was as impressed when I walked outside to see all those turnips. Hahah.
The train always won before when I always ran a tiny bit diagonally to avoid banging into the bulletin board, but the last time I did it I had a good long race with him from the start and went in a perfect straight line, and riiight near the end I thought I finally caught up a little x3 I guess I gotta race him a few more times before I can say I’m faster 😛
Oooh or maybe the different train models have slightly different speeds? 😮 There are actually trains with slightly different markings.
OOooh that would be so cool, if the different trains had different speeds. I’ll try to run with it from the start and tell you who’s faster
Lol I just read your comments with Choco, that the train always wins xP
Oh I wondered about those roses too, did you breed that whole new row of roses already? 😮
In this picture you see the row of roses that you gave me in Choco’s town (unless it was a mistake, I can give them back because I’m a bit confused too, hahah), and in this other one you can see a new row of roses where in reality I only bred the blue and purple ones, the others I collected from town and placed them there 😛 Sorry for the confusion!
Of course the roses are for you!!! x3 Ah yeah that 2nd pic is exactly what I was asking about — wow you bred a purple and a blue fast! 😮
Awww thanks!!
Your paths are so pretty! Where did you get them? And, I liked the wetsuit hugging trick. XD
Awww, I’m so flattered! I made the paths myself, I took some inspiration from this one I found on tumblr: http://pathmagic.tumblr.com/image/73694199471 Hope that helps!
Lilycott diaries is a really cute name ^_^ My post titles are so boring, just like “Beginning of [Month]” or “End of [Month]” xP
Aww I really like your special little island of blue pansies! And that’s weird (and cool) about the purple pansy popping up! The rainbow roses are gorgeous too *_* I love arranging flowers in gradients like that~
It’s good you’ve been having lots of fun WiFing, and it’s fun to see your pictures from them! 🙂 I’m sorry for missing the one with you and Choco and Teru; the reason was simply that I was sleeping, and stupidly hadn’t set my alarm, since I wasn’t sure if the WiFi was on or not…I probably needed my sleep, though, needing to work late the next day ^^ Anyway, I’m sorry again! I hope we can try again in the future 🙂
Congratulations on almost reaching perfect town status! 😀 In Wild World it was complicated, but honestly in New Leaf, it’s mostly a matter of PWPs, PWPs, and PWPs. Just keep building and you’ll get it, haha 😛 Oh, and neighbors moving out can affect the status too, like having a full town gets the best rating. But it’s possible to get a perfect town with a less than full town, as long as you have enough PWPs!
Thank you, Amy!! I have lots of fun arranging flowers different ways too 😀
Awww, don’t worry about it! We were sure you had a good reason to miss it, and your sleep is definitely important! Hope your job is going well, and hope it’s not too stressful!
Hahaha, I know! It’s almost as if you can buy your perfect town status, it seems quite easy for now, but my rating has lowered, Isabella says it’s “riding the so-so rails” and I’m not sure why, I planted more trees but counted them and they didn’t exceed the maximum of recommended trees to maintain a perfect town status, I’m not sure what happened, but I’m determined to get it back up and build PWPs! 😀
Wow. A purple pansy? I am so going to hybrid one out of blue ones now.
I don’t think so.. (about the sharks)to be honest, I think they just turn up more at night.Don’t worry about the bald spot; leave it six months and it’l grow back. I have loads.
heh, I always forget birthdays in AC:NL. I just time travel back to their birthday and celebrate it. 😀
Did you know if you keep going to KK’s night club thing, eventually you get a medal?
Hahah, I’m not sure if it’ll work, I haven’t got another purple pansy since then, but you lose nothing in trying 😀
Hahaha, fixing the bald spot should be easy enough. And about the birthdays, I used to do that in Wild World, but whenever I see the bird at the bulletin board, I’m too curious not to check.
Really?? Yay, more medals for mee!!!
Awh 😄 oh well. Yeah.. I have so many bald spots, my remedy is just to cover them in flowers and forget them. Yeah, that’s how I remember its somebody’s birthday.
Yup! And you get medals for gardening, picking weeds,dreaming at the dream suite, fish and bugs etc.
Oh, cool!! Thanks for the info!
Thats ok 🙂
