The Story of Tom Nook 2

November 2, 2009

Two Weeks Later…

Lyle and Redd hide behind a tree as they watch Tim and Tina leave their house, 87 Tanuki Street, Miranda, just like Tom had told them.

As soon as Tim and Tina leave, Redd jumps out from behind the tree and rushes to the flowerpot. Kicking the flowerpot over, he finds the key.

Redd: Well, don’t I love being friends with Toom Nook! *a wide smile spreads across his face*

Lyle: *almost crying* Redd… He’s our friend…

Redd: Shut up and stop being a sissy! Think of everything we’ll get out of this! *imagines piles of cash*

Lyle: *imagines himself in prison, Redd laughing at him*           

Redd unlocks the door. (He has gloves and shoes on. Lyle only has shoes.) Lyle hesitates before Redd pulls him in. As soon as they get to a table, Redd pushes Lyle over.

Redd: Oh sorry! I didn’t mean to do that!

Lyle nods but doesn’t notice himself leaning against the table to hoist himself up.

Four hours later…

Tim and Tina return to their house to find their house a mess and their most valued possessions missing.

Tina: *in shock* We’ve been stolen! I mean – robbed!

Tim: We’ll never pay off the mortgage now…

Tina: Let me call the cops.

Tim: We’ll have to sell the house! We’ll have to move in your parents’ place… And if we ever make enough money, we’ll buy a new one.

Tina: Why did this have to happen just after we’d bought it?! And just before we were about to get insurance?

Soon Tina and Tim move in with Tom, Tanya, and Ted. Renovations had to be made, but Tom and Ted could handle it.

Before Tom knew it, he had two little nephews, Timmy and Tommy.

Tom hated to be a burden to his family. He desperately wanted to get a secure job and move out. But there just wasn’t anything to do in the country. He dabbled as a gardener, and attempted to be a builder, but there simply weren’t enough animals in the country.

So Tom made a desicion he thought he’d never make.

Tom: *sits down at the squishy dinner table* Um…

Tanya: Sea bass sashimi?

Tom: Eh… No…

Tina: Red turnips?

Tom: Yes, PLEASE! Anyway…

Timmy and Tommy: Leave some for us, uncle! … Uncle!

Tom: You want some red turnip? *gives them both some* There you go!

Timmy and Tommy: Thank you! … You!

Tom: I was just thinking that…

Ted: *starts laughing*

Tom: Uh… Dad?

Ted: *stops laughing* Sorry, your mother tells the most HILARIOUS jokes! *starts laughing again*

Tanya: I’m SERIOUS!

Ted: Oh.

Timmy and Tommy: Why must we eat the green things? … Things?

Tina: They’re good for you! They’ll make you grow big and strong!

Timmy and Tommy: But Dad doesn’t eat his! … his!

Tim: *avoids Tina’s glare* I do, you too… *makes a face as he eats broccoli*

Tom: CAN YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME!

Everyone: *stares*

Tom: Sorry. I just need to tell you something important. I’m moving to the city to find work.

Tanya: Where will you stay?

Tom: With my friends Redd and Lyle… until I get enough money.

Ted: There’s no need. You can stay.

Tom: Well, I’m going, whether I have to or not!

Timmy and Tommy: Are you scared of us? … Us? Please stay! … Stay! You can have the red turnips! … Turnips!


Mitsukyo Reunion

October 28, 2009

I haven’t been playing AC:WW for a while, so I was dying to meet Miki, Mayu’s character, again.

I did and I also met Shania, another nice new player.

I participated it the theme touch event so now my catalog is nice and full :-) Also Miki let me have a blue pansy and a jacob’s ladder from her town! :)

People are so nice!


Interior Decorating

October 28, 2009

Did you know that you can actually design your neighbours’ rooms? Well, it’s up to them where they put it, but you can guarantee that they’ll get a reasonably good H.R.A. score. (Less grumbling!)

This is an expensive measure, but if you are one of those super-rich people, like Mayu (who is also the best and kindest AC:WW player to walk the earth), it can really make your town look a lot nicer.

Things you’ll need:

Lots of stationery (paper).

A full furniture theme or set. Carpet and wallpaper as well.

What to DO:

Send them each piece of furniture as a present to each letter. (Make sure you write the letters properly if you still want their pictures.)

Soon you’ll find all their old furniture in the recycling bin and their house full of whatever you sent them. (This is why I don’t think you should send them shells as presents. I do and it looks AWFUL! 100 bell bags should do the trick.)

You can also do this the other way round: If they have pieces of furniture you want, send them a shell or another piece of furniture, and you’ll eventually find what you want it the recycling bin. :)

The Story of Tom Nook 1

October 27, 2009

Introduction

Obviously, you’ve picked up bits and pieces about Tom Nook’s life during gameplay. However, there are huge gaps in our knowledge. So I decided to fill in those gaps and create “The Story of Tom Nook”.

Part 1 – Tina’s Wedding

Tom is standing in a room with Tina. Tina is a young raccoon, and Tom is a lot younger. Tina is in a white dress and Tom is in a tux.

Tina: How do I look?

Tom: Beautiful, Tina, beautiful.

Tina: What do you think Tim will think?

Tom: He’ll think you’re beautiful too.

Tina: You remember your speech, right?

Tom: Tina, relax. It’s you and Timothy’s special day. Everything’s in order.

Tina: *suddenly* Where are Mum and Dad?

Tom: Uhh…

Tanya and Ted Nook enter.

Tanya: Where’s the beautiful bride?

Tina: Mum! *hugs Tanya*

Ted: Ho! You forgot me!

Tina: Dad! *hugs Ted*

Tom slinks into a corner, hoping to be able to escape.

Tina: Tom, can you go and check on Tim?

Tom: Sure…

Tina: Thanks, little bro!

Tom leaves the room to find Tim. When he finds Tim (also in a tux)…

Tim: Hi.

Tom: Hi.

*silence*

Tim: Have you ever thought about your future?

Tom: Of course I have! When I complete my education…

Tim: I mean with a girl.

Tom: *flashback to when he was very little and sat under the stars with Sable*

*silence*

Tom: No.

Tim: *looks at classic clock* It’s almost starting! Go take a seat! *hurries out of room*

The day after the wedding. Tom is at a bar with Lyle and Redd.

Redd: Want something to drink?

Tom: No, I’m fine.

Lyle: Dr. Shrunk gave me pills, I can’t.

Redd: Tom, I insist!

Tom: Fine… Sprite.

Redd: Okay… *goes up to the barmaid and whispers in her ear*

Barmaid nods.

Tom is given a sprite.

10 minutes later…

Redd: So, where are they moving to?

Tom: *drowsily* 87 Tanuki Street, Miranda.

Redd: They plan to keep a spare  key under a flowerpot?

Tom: *nods*

Lyle: Redd… We shouldn’t…

Tom: *falls asleep*

Redd: Look, I told you, you don’t have to touch anything. Just… BE THERE.


*DRUM ROLL* Finally, the Finale!

March 29, 2009

Final Episode – Mario Back Home

P!nk, Rihanna and Avril rush into the  Shampoodle.

P!nk covers Avril’s  eyes to prevent her from seeing anything that will make her faint.

Avril: Oh, gross! Your dirty hands are ruining my mascara! And it was a rare Gracie brand! *Faints*

Rihanna: AWWW! You wear make up! You are such a wimp!

P!nk: Oh, shut up, Rihanna! It’s not like she can hear you!

Mario: Mmm  mmm mmmmm mmmmm mm mm MMMM?

P!nk: Sorry about that. *unties Mario*

Mario: Thank you. I would like to go home now.

Rihanna: I-I-I *breaks down into tears again* I’m so *sob* SORRY!

P!nk: You can’t go back because… Celeste’s in your world right now.

Mario: WHAT? B-b-but… if…

Rihanna: I’m sorry! *SNIFF* I didn’t mean *sniff* to…

Mario: *to P!nk* What did she do?

P!nk: Long story short: she pushed Celeste up the telescope.

Mario: But I didn’t come through a –

Rihanna: *stops crying* but you said so at the meeting.

Avril: *gets up* I don’t remember him saying so.

P!nk: That’s because you had fainted. Remember?

Avril: *does question mark emote* I did?

P!nk: Well, you wouldn’t remember fainting because you had fainted while you did it.

Avril blinks.

Rihanna: ANYWAY…

P!nk: But you said you came from the telescope at the meeting!

Mario: *stares* does anyone EVER listen to me?!

Avril: *stares back* you mean – not even in your own world? That’s so horrible! *faints*

Mario: Well, I meant in this world…

Rihanna: Celeste *looks a bit sad, but continues* said that you came through the telescope.

Mario: But, if, you had been paying attention to me, YOU WOULD HAVE REALISED THAT I HAD BEEN SAYING SOMETHING!

Rihanna and P!nk cover their ears.

Avril: *gets up and covers her ears* Not so loud, please.

Mario: *softer* At the meeting, I said that I magically appeared NEXT TO the telescope.

Avril: Pardon?

Rihanna: Mario, what did you say? And Avril – speak up!

P!nk: I can’t hear any of –

 Mario: *SHOUTING!!!* At the meeting, I said that I magically appeared NEXT TO the telescope!!

P!nk: *unblocks ears* I still can’t hear you!

Mario impatiently sighs.

Avril: *SHOUTS BACK* YOU DON’T HAVE TO SHOUT! I CAN HEAR YOU, Y’KNOW!

P!nk covers her ears again.

Rihanna: *roll eyes, sarcastically* Could you say that a notch louder?

Avril says something so softly that no-one can hear.

Mario: AT THE MEETING, I SAID THAT I *loses voice and starts to rasp* appeared… next… scope…

Avril, P!nk and Rihanna unblock their ears.

Avril: I’ll go get some water from Mabel and Sable. *rushes out*

P!nk: *to Mario* Are you okay?

Mario *rasping* Es… Kay… Water…

Rihanna: So exactly what did he say?

P!nk blinks.

Mario: *still rasping* Said… Magically… Next…  Tel… Scope….

Rihanna and P!nk exchange puzzled glances.

Avril rushes in holding a glass of water. A small amount spills onto the floor.

Avril: *puffing* Here. *Hands Mario the glass*

Mario: *drinks water, but a slight rasp remains* I said that… magically appeared next to… telescope.

Rihanna: *looks downcast* does that mean Celeste ISN’T gone for good?

P!nk and Avril: RIHANNA!

P!nk: *lightbulb* Doesn’t that mean…

Rihanna, Avril and Mario stampede out of the Shampoodle. P!nk bounds after them.

The group enter the Museum.  They see something surprising – Celeste and Blathers in the middle of the hall.

Celeste: … You’re the one who’s supposed to take care of the whole museum! You are supposed to check every nook and cranny [remind you of something?:lol:] regularly!

Blathers: I can’t check up there nowadays! Celeste, you know very well I have back pain! I tell you whenever… *stops abruptly and tilts head in the direction of newcomers*

Celeste: *turns to face Mario, Avril, Rihanna and P!nk* Oh! Sorry about that. *looks uncomfortably guilty* I didn’t see you…

Blathers: *looks both embarrassed and frustrated* I ought to check the Roost. It’s another part of the museum anyway. *shakes head and sighs as he enters the Roost*

Celeste: I supposed you are coming to –

Rihanna : *impatiently* Yes. Now please let us in.

Celeste: Okay. Up you go. *motions towards the observatory*

Mario climbs up, and for some reason or another Avril faints.

P!nk:  Aren’t you coming up, Celeste?

Celeste: …No. *looks doubtfully at Rihanna* I think that  it would be safer if…

P!nk: You might as well come along. *grabs Celeste and pulls her up the stairs*

Rihanna follows, dragging Avril.

Up in the observatory…

Celeste: *wind and leaves* … Why did you do that?

Mario: Roll up! Roll up! Prepare to see the the most amazing –

Celeste and Rihanna begin giggling.

Mario: AHEM!

Celeste laughs really loud. Rihanna manages to stifle her giggles.

Mario: AHEM!

Avril (who has just gotten up) and P!nk burst out laughing. Avril removes a camera from her pocket and takes a picture of Mario.

Avril: *shows him the picture* This is why. *starts giggling again*

Rihanna: Your cap was on the wrong way!

Mario: Who did it?

Rihanna smirks and Mario glares at her.

Mario grumpily puts his cap on the right way, but the giggles continue.

Mario: Roll up! Roll –

Rihanna and Celeste: GET ON WITH IT!

Mario: In ten seconds, I shall disappear into my own world

Mario wakes up and rubs his eyes to find Luigi tapping him on the shoulder. The Mario theme video game music plays in the background.

Luigi: Hey, Mario! Look what I made!

Mario: It’s a stone, Luigi. You didn’t make it.

Luigi: It’s a football! I chiselled it!

Mario: It’s a stone, Luigi.


Mario Goes Home

March 22, 2009

Part 3 – Mario Goes Home

Blathers: Hoo! Indeed, hootie hoo! Which fossil can I…

Celeste: *bangs Blathers on head* You are now awake.

Blathers: *looks around drowsily* I am now awake. *falls asleep again*

Rihanna: Can’t we survive without him?

P!nk: Yeah, we can. So let’s get on it with it!

Nick: *glares at everyone else* Can’t Mario stay?

Mario: I want to go home!

Nick: (Hmm… I wonder…) Mario, can I talk to you for a minute?

Mario: Sure. *follows Nick to the shampoodle*

Avril: MEET US AT THE MUSEUM!

Ni ck: *whispering to himself*Mwahahaha! I will get to live in Mario’s world!

Mario: So –

Nick: Wait here.

Nick enters the Shampoodle.

Harriet: Okay, what is it?

Nick: I fixed your machine the other day… you owe me one…

Harriet: What do you want?

Nick whispers things in Harriet ear.

Nick: *shouting* Mario! Come in now!

Back in the observatory…

P!nk: How do we shove him up?

Celeste: Unscrew this cap here… *unscrews cap*

Celeste: And I guess we make him put his head in like this… *puts head in telescope*

Rihanna pushes Celeste in.

Avril: NO! *faints as Celeste goes up the telescope *

P!nk: Wha – HUH?

Enter Mario.

P!nk: You took a while. Where’s Nick?

Mario: Oh, he got stung by bees. He’s having a good rest at the moment.

Rihanna: Celeste’s gone into your world. HANG ON… *pulls big bro cap off Mario’s head*

Everyone: NICK!

Nick pulls mostache off as well.

Avril: (doesn’t faint FOR ONCE) Nick! How could you?! *faints*

Rihanna: Where’s Mario? And WHY did you –

P!nk: Why did YOU, Rihanna, push Celeste up the telescope? We might never get her back!

Rihanna: Well… (loses her temper for once) ONCE I CAME UP HERE TO DESIGN A NICE CONSTELLATION, AND SHE DELETED IT BECAUSE I WANTED TO CALL IT CELESTE’S BUM! *breaks down and starts sobbing*

Avril: *gets up and comforts Rihanna* It’s OK, Ri… But you should think of other people’s feelings. How would you like it if someone called a constellation Rihanna’s Bum?

Rihanna: That’s why I act cool! So *sob* no-one *sob* makes *sob* fun of me!

P!nk: Well, everyone does – behind your back.

Nick: *sneaks out of Observatory* I HATE THAT RIHANNA!

Back in shampoodle, Mario is all tied up and Harriet is watching him.

Mario: Mmm, mmmm mm mmm mmmmm mmm. MMM MMM MMMMMMM!

Harriet: Oh, sugar, would you PLEASE be quiet?

Mario: MM, M MMMM MMM!

Nick barges in.

Harriet: Oh – I thought –

Nick: RIHANNA RUINED EVERYTHING!

Harriet sighs.

Mario: M mmmm mm m mm mmmm mmm mmmm!

Nick: Untie him.

Harriet: *mutters something about stupid residents* So long, Nick!

Harriet walks out.

Nick: B-b-but –

Mario: *teasing* MMMM mmm MM mmmm MM! mmm mm MMM m MMMMMMMM!

Nick: I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU ALL!

Mario: Mmm mm mmm mmm mmmm!

Nick leaves.

Mario: *groans* mmmmm.

 

THE TITLE OF THIS STORY IS ACTUALLY: Mario Goes Home… Or Not.

This is about the past, when Avril, Rihanna and Nick were residents of CoolTown.

charcoalgal on The West

March 11, 2009

I know Mayu and Julia have already mentioned this on their blogs, but I also find The West a very interesting game. ^^ Also, Julia would really like to fill up our town, Wild World (for all AC:WW players), and whether you play AC or not, I would really like you to join us so we can have a really good town. If you don’t understand, don’t worry, I didn’t at first, but then Julia and Mayu explained it to me calmly and patiently no matter how stupid my questions were. Hopefully if you get stuck I can do the same. Now I’m quite addicted and find it very entertaining although I’m still stuck on level one. Well, anyway just click this link:
http://www.the-west.net
Hope you have just as much fun as I did with it! (Note: My name is charcoalgal on The West!)
