Scraggly Old Carpet

Yesterday, Roscoe sent me a letter (and a modern desk) to thank me for the medicine I gave him last week.

Saharah was in town, looking for old carpets. So I started asking around. To my surprise, three villagers had some carpet to give me! Thanks to Poncho, Tom, and Antonio!

Antonio: Oh, dude! That's right! Saharah is in town today! This scraggly, faded old carpet is all yours!
For a second, I thought he was talking about Saharah! 😛

I took the three old carpets back to Saharah, and she gave me a tropical floor. I did not need that one.

Saharah: Here...a tropical floor. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.

I did some bug hunting, and Poncho bought a dynastid beetle off me for 2,110 bells. That’s almost double the normal price.

Poncho: I got a dynastid beetle! WOOOOO! YEAH! Here's your 2,110 bells!

I seemed to be having amazing luck though; perhaps the best luck I’ve had all year so far. I kept seeing rare bugs very frequently, and I ended up making 255k on the night.

Tonight, I played again, and Roscoe asked me to deliver a gift to Antonio. It was a No. 1 shirt, and Antonio was confused by it.

Antonio: This is a No. 1 shirt, right? Uhh, what's this supposed to mean?
Maybe he thinks you’re #1?

Roscoe rewarded me with a kitschy tile for making the delivery.

Poor Goldie locked herself out of her house tonight. 🙁 I normally ignore these requests, but not when it’s Goldie! I went fishing, and it just took me a couple minutes to find her key.

I caught a key! ...Whose key is this?

I took it back to Goldie, and she gave me a kitchen wall. She was then able to get back in her doghouse. 🙂

Goldie: Oh...! Awesome! Yes, this is my key, honeybun!

I didn’t do as much bug-catching tonight, but I did manage to make over 40,000 bells anyway.

Catfish Gets Around

Yesterday, Tom reacted quite strongly to my racing helmet. He even seemed scared for some reason?

Tom: Sweet monkey of mercy! You scared the daylights out of me! What is that on your head, me-YOWZA?!

He asked if I was going to a costume party. I’m guessing this dialogue was written with Halloween costumes in mind, but it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to be terrified of a race car driver, especially one that’s not currently driving a car. 😆 Any time I see Tom, I should sneak up behind him and say “Vroom!” real loud. 😉

After I caught a catfish, Poncho pinged me. He wanted it really bad, and he offered me 813 bells for it…so I sold it to him. But ten minutes later, I gave him a fossil he asked for…and he rewarded me with the same catfish! I guess he got tired of it pretty quickly! 😆

I thought that was the end of the catfish story, until Tom also wanted it! Fortunately, his offer was better than Poncho’s: He gave me 1,231 bells for it.

Tom: Let's see here... How does 1,231 bells sound to you, me-YOWZA?
And he never gave it back to me.

Today, Tom Nook was selling some elemental items: Fire, water, and earth. Of course it would’ve looked better if the sprinkler was turned on. 😛

The selection in Nook's shop: a campfire, a sprinkler, and a plant in a pot of dirt.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed K.K. Aria for me. It’s a sad song, but it’s pretty good.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Aria.

Roscoe was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine. But he was reluctant to take it!

Roscoe: You think you can boss me into taking that medicine?
You can lead a horse to medicine, but you can’t make him drink.

He did end up taking the medicine, though; he was just being stubborn about it.

I did some more bug hunting, and I also caught two blue marlins tonight. I made about 110k tonight, to go along with 60k I made last night. My account balance has now topped 57 million bells, so I’m already over 75% to my summer goal despite there being almost 4 weeks remaining.

Your current balance is 57,080,000 bells.

See you next time!
