ACNL: Medaiton Journal Week 4

Week 4: The Star Under The Marquee

               The Club opened the start of the week. Inside before the offical doors opened was Shrunk who asked me to build him the club in the first place. He said he was actually some sort of comedian back in his prime. At the cost of food he told me a joke. It's kind of a weird feeling....like some sort of emotion came over me that day...

It was actually raining that day so visiting the Doc cheered me up.

               Oddly enough the very next day when it cleared up, there was a mysterious thing sitting in the ground. It's called a Gyroid, and it gives off a mysterious presence. This particular one was called a  mini timpanoid. I like how it sounds honestly.

               Eventually, the shopping town grew and two new stores were added at the same time. T&T  Mart got renovated into Super T&T. All had happened is that the store got bigger, but I did find an interesting item in there while I was looking around. 

               The item is called a megaphone and man is it a useful item. You just call your villager's name and they will answer you. Super useful when doing tasks, I always have it in my letter pockets just in case.

               The other store is actually a hair salon called Shampoodle. It is run by a dog named Harriet. I tried to get a new hairstyle, but I feel that the hair I got was kind of...reddish for my taste. Unfortunately, the hair salon could only be used once a day, so I had to be stuck with this tea red hair for the rest of it. 

               Before April ended, there was the annual Weeding Day event. Leif from the flower shop hosts it, and urges me to pick all the weeds from the town. It wasn't that hard at all since I almost always tend to the gardens around town. He gave me a cute little Cosmos Fan for my troubles.

               One night there was a beautiful meteor shower. I wished on a couple of stars that were shooting by. I poured my heart into those wishes too. Maybe there is something up there that can hear me?

               Before the week passed on the final day of April, I went diving. I met an interesting otter who would give me words of wisdom. He also lent me an item in exchange for a scallop that I found. He was a pretty chill dude. 

               The very last thing I did was visit the Club on that Saturday. They say the famous musician K.K. Slider preforms every week there. He was there of course! I spent a long time there listening to his music. I always loved how that dog can just change the atmosphere with a few chords from his guitar. There's something nostalgic about his presence. He gave me a bootleg of K.K. Joungora, so I felt pretty good that night.

               The Dream Suite project was finally completed! Now you can live the growth of the town with us! The dream address is provided for others with the game and the Dream Suite to visit the town of Mediaton.

Dream Address: 5B00-0061-560D

Update: Change of Pace

               You're probably wonder why there is no Mediaton uploaded this week. That's because I'm going to change the format to align with my personal schedule. Every Mediaton journal is going to happen every other week now, and the format will be changed from days to general events. 

               

               Although, the Saturdays without Mediaton journals are not going to be barren. I will put up a short opinion piece every other Saturday, or maybe even a review! I hope you keep checking back on this site for new content as I check back on the residents of Mediaton. I'm not the only one here making content either, you can also read up on Blaster's misadventures in Happy Home Designer among other reviews.

               See you soon! -keybug55 (Marissa)

ACNL: Medaiton Journal Week 3

Week 3: Eggcelent Holiday

Sorry if this week is kinda late and…barren…life got in the way. No poll for this week currently, Isabelle has a weird system with holidays blame her.

         Day 15:

                I walked out and my town was a mess. There were an unhealthy amount of rocks with…eggs in them? Eggs buried in the ground? Even eggs in the sky?!?! Maybe it had to do with the rabbit in town square?

Yes well today is Bunny Day! The day where…a rabbit comes over and messes up my town with eggs. He said if I found all six types of eggs I will get a special prize. Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out well. I found the other 5 but the 6^th egg was pretty much unobtainable at the time. The 6^th egg was somewhere out in the ocean and well…I couldn’t get to it with the tools I had. Now I just have a bunch of eggs I need to clean up in my town square. I am a busy mayor that is collecting money for the Dream Suite so I didn’t have time to clean it up. Guess they’re just going to sit there for the time being.

All hope wasn’t lost though. I found a slingshot so I can shoot down some presents from the sky. Although the only thing I could find was useless sky eggs. I’ll see a proper use for the slingshot next time.

An old Tortoise was sitting at the dock. His name is Tortimer, and believe it or not he was supposed to be the original mayor before I got here. I kind of wanted to give him a talking to since he just randomly dropped this job on me to go on a vacation or something. I held back because I honestly like this job, so I really have to thank him.

The old tortoise said I can go to the island whenever I wanted starting tomorrow. He mentioned something about a sailor that will take me for a fee. I’m honestly curious what they will have there.

Day 16:

A strange animal came to visit my house when I woke up. I have no idea how long he was waiting there…pretty creepy now that I think of it like that. The strange animal’s name was Shrunk, and he is asking me to sign a petition. 

The petition was for a Club to be built in the town plaza, and he hoped that loud music wouldn’t be an issue. Of course I was on board, as well as the villagers. Not one of them said no, but I can understand, especially Tex who specializes in music. Shrunk said I’ll have to wait a while until the club is officially built. I think it had a stupid name like…Club LOL or something like that. I honestly wish I could rename the club something else but…what can you do?

I visited the Town Hall to find Isabelle sleeping during her work. She was worried and swears she was dreaming of doing work. 

Honestly I feel bad, how long has she been here anyway? Does she ever take weekends? She said that a visitor requested a Dream Suite to be made in town. I said sure, but it’ll be a while because it takes about 200k bells to build. I guess I’ll just have to be a bit patient.

                A shabby looking sailor was at the dock, just as Tortimer said. His name was Kappn’, pretty creative. I paid him 1k bells which is not a lot for me and we sailed to the island. 

A song later, the cloudy skies broke into sunshine and the island came into view. Walking in on the right was a souvenir stand containing an item that…I honestly needed yesterday, the wet suit.

 Walking out the island was small adorned with lychees and banana trees. For the rest of the day I farmed the mini games there until I got the wet suit. I was so exhausted afterwards that I forgot to bring back the fruit.

        Day 17: 

   Waking up I noticed a new house plot, again, super close to my house. The name on the plot was…Felyne? I’m pretty sure that I met him at the campsite not too long ago. Maybe he got inspired to move here?

A shoe store opened up in town. It was run by a skunk who calls himself Kicks. Pretty appropriate, although I have yet to see shoes that I really want from there.

At the local Retail store, Reese’s husband Cyrus finally returns to his duties. He refurbishes furniture which is nice to decorate homes with. I’ll remake the egg that Felyne gave me, but I’ll check on it tomorrow.

While I’m at Retail, I can give you a tip on how to make money. You know those gems that you can collect from breaking rocks? You can sell them in retail for about much more. Gems usually go for exactly 7,999 bells and villagers will always eat it up. You can always sell items for quadruple the original selling price as long as they’re not above 8k.

While on my daily trip to the museum Blathers was concerned about something. He wanted to expand the museum to have a second story, and asked me to get funds for it. I would do it now, except I still have the dream suite to worry about.

Day 18: 

Sure enough, it is in fact Felyne. He remembers me from the campsite and said he wanted to move here so badly. I guess he got fed up with the monsters back at his home? Why his room looks like a magma cavern is beyond me.

I visited Tex’s house. Normally I don’t talk about mundane visits but it’s just really unhealthy to keep a seahorse on electrical equipment. Yeah, I’m just going to point out fire/electrical hazards in my villager’s homes.

Butch was talking about how much he wanted to meet the new villager in town. He calls himself the “shadow mayor”. I honestly don’t feel comfortable with this. What does he do that gives him that title? Is he the one leaving pitfalls everywhere?

I picked up the egg I left at Retail. He called it a “Leviathan Egg”. It bounces around sometimes, almost eager to get out. The egg feels almost shocking…

Day 19: 

Felyne moves in and he’s walking around with a shovel. Not sure what he’s doing. I’m sure he saw huge monsters back at home, why would he want to dig up bones of normal dinosaurs here?

I went to T&T Mart and saw possibly the best item I’ve ever seen. I like to call it “The Grand Wheel of RNG”.  I think I’m going to design my room around this, where everything is colorful. I just have to get the right items. My house just recently got expanded, so more of a reason to redecorate.

I heard Wendy talk about Biff. I hear her talking about him a lot actually. I tried to hold myself back but…I think I actually ship them. Pretty much everyone else in the town ships them too. I think the one that’s left in the dark about this is Biff himself.

Day 20: 

Honestly not much happened today. It’s almost like the villagers got burned out or something. I tried to ask them about things to do but they just wouldn’t give me anything. The only thing of note that happened was that Wendy called me a stupid nickname. Nono just…keep calling me Muffin. Oh yeah, and I also had a change of clothes because my old clothes were getting too worn out.

Day 21:

Isabelle was hosting a Nature Day event. Not much happened, except I saw all the leftover eggs that were still not cleaned up due to my lazyness that week. She handed me a cool globe which was pretty rad.

I found a lost mitten who I found out it belonged to Felyne. First try again, I must be really lucky with these guesses. Not sure why he would want a mitten in the warmer season of spring. My only guess its part of some armor set or something, or maybe I’m thinking too into it.

Pinky gave me a present to give to Naomi. The present contained some ugly green melon shirt in which Naomi happily wore. The shirt she wore before was actually a really rare shirt. I think Pinky just made a sin against human and animal kind.

Note: Mediaton is getting a quick break next week, no polls this week

ACNL: Medaiton Journal Week 2

Mediaton Journal: Bear With Me

Day 8:

I wake up and a house moved in right next to me…surprised? Not really. Inside was the new neighbor, Tex. He’s a pretty chill villager. Heh…get it? He’s still moving in so I’ll give him time.

                The Mona Lisa shipped to my house so I went to the museum to donate it. I noticed there was construction going on near Nookingtons. At the museum I learned that the painting I got was a fake. I am never trusting that Fox again.

                I went over to town hall to see the results for the poll. The result was yellow bench. I placed it near Butch’s house because I plan do to something great there in the future, possibly a park or something. I donated for the bench upfront, mainly due to my impatience.

                While combing the beach, I found a sailor knocked out cold. He called himself Gulliver. He forgot where he was going and needed me to help him remember. We figured out he was going to Singapore after he told me some landmarks he saw there. He promised me that he’ll bring me back a souvenir for helping him.

Day 9:

                I walk outside and there was another plot to the north right of my house. This is starting to become an issue. I saw Tex walking outside, and he was just enjoying the cherry blossom petals that seemed to be falling through the air like confetti.

                There was a small celebration for the completion of the town bench. Isabelle made it somewhat of a big deal, but I suppose it is the first PWP that we worked on. I understand her enthusiasm.

                Isabelle informed me about the new gardening shop in town. It is run by a Sloth named Leif. That shop really helps me with my hybrid gardening. I got some cooler flowers there like lilies and violets.

                An interesting visitor came by the town tree today. She was a fortune teller known as Katrina. She gave me my fortune for a relatively cheap price. She told me that luck was based off the clothes I wear. Since my dress was already lucky that day, I felt pretty good after that. That day I happened to shake a tree and out came a lucky cat!

Day 10:

                Today was the fishing tourney! So everyone was wielding their fishing rods to compete for the biggest catch. Except for one villager, the one that was moving in. Her name was Pinky and she was a pretty big panda. It has come to my attention that I have three bears in my town now.

                For the fishing tourney, Chip the Beaver set up his tent in the plaza. The rules were that any fish goes. So I grabbed my rod and fished for the majority of the day.

                At the end of the day though, even after I caught a good number of sea bass, Wendy won the tourney by a couple inches. I ended up taking second place. Don’t worry, I’m not bitter at all…..Wendy….

Day 11:

                I saw Pinky outside after she unpacked everything. She seems really nice. For some reason she likes to make Waluigi sounds at me.

                Naomi asked me to deliver Tammy a shirt. I gave it to Tammy but…it honestly looked kind of silly on her. I held back my laughter and told her it looked good. I guess she’s going to wear that for a while.

                Butch said he wanted to move away. I begged him to stay and it actually worked. Why would he want to move away so soon? It almost felt like he just got here. I’m pretty sure this town still has room for just one more villager anyway.

                Wendy asked me to start calling me Muffin, because she heard it from Merengue. I said sure, why not. I count her in our little friend group anyway. Afterwards I was tending to my flowers. I grew a few hybrids, but the most that was growing was my rose garden. It already produced a purple flower!

  Day 12:

                I talked to Chester and he asked me to give something to Merengue that he forgot about. He started whispering to me about it when Merengue was in earshot. I wonder why he’s worried about it.

                While going around town I kept on tripping over myself. Katrina happened to be in town that day and I asked her about it. It did have to do with my luck after all, and she told me my only saving grace is a long sleeved shirt.

                When I went to the Able Sisters, Mabel was there with a brand new sewing machine. She told me that I can use it to make intricate designs. I could actually make a decent town flag with this, instead of the place holder we have now. I bought a long sleeve shirt as well as other clothes to match with it. I was all dressed in blue.

Day 13:

                I found a lost book on the ground. I asked Biff first who was walking there at the time and the first guess I had was right. I also figured because the title of the book was Pecs and Quads of the Rich and Famous.

                A skeleton fell out of a tree. I’m not sure if I should call the cops, the skeleton looked pretty fake. I figured I would just take it home for it to be a cool decoration. I’m not sure if I regret my decision or not.

I felt so tired after that for some reason….I just kinda….slept….

Day 14:

                I walked into town to find that Nooklings was closed for renovations. There was also another store being built next to the Able Sister’s. It’s pretty exciting to see the shopping district get bigger.

                I got done paying my home loan, so I went to Nook’s. Nook introduced me to an otter that honestly won’t shut up. His name is Lyle and he’s a spokesperson for the Happy Home Academy. There’s a competition to have the nicest house. I suppose I won’t have that much competition around my town. It feels like everyone wants me to ruin their houses.

                The day was a lazy one afterwards but there was an interesting camper today. He was a cat that traveled from far away. He speaks of a land filled to the brim with terrifying monsters. He gave me a few items including a little pet pig, and what’s supposed to be a monster egg. I’ll guess I’ll keep these in my house.
