Final Bug Hunt

Tonight, Puck told me that he had to move out of town! Lucky and Gwen seemed delighted to hear the news. 😛

Puck: Hey, Chill J, I know this is kinda sudden, but I have to move out of Forest.

I told him to stay, but he said he couldn’t. However, I was determined to talk to him again later to change his mind.

In the meantime, I got to see the inside of Simon’s house now that he’s all unpacked. His house looks like a campsite, with a bonfire, a hammock, and a couple of tiki torches. I like what he’s done with the place!

Simon: Welcome, Jeff. It's good to see you!

My buddy Tom lost his key in the river. So I kept an eye out for small “fish” shadows in the river throughout my session.

Tom: UH-oh! What if I dropped my key in the river when I was fishing?! This is bad, me-YOWZA!

I shot down a balloon present, and it contained a men’s toilet. 😛

Since it’s the last night of August, I made one last bug hunt before most of the valuable bugs vanish for ten months. The hunt started out slow, but then picked up. I did well, earning 150,000 bells in an hour-long session. I met my goal for the summer, and even exceeded it by 100k+.

When the clock struck midnight, I knew the fun was over. 😛 Worthless crickets abounded, and my focus shifted to Tom and Puck. After a total of about 5-6 attempts, Puck finally relented and changed his plans to move.

Puck: Since it means so much to you, I'll see if I can get out of this whole moving thing, on ice!

I found Tom’s key while fishing over the waterfall, and I took it back to him. He gave me a mega echoid to thank me.

Did any of you have a big bug-hunting summer? If you made goals, I hope you met them!

I’ll see you all next time. Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
