Mermaid from Space

On Wednesday, I recorded a gameplay video of my session, and I uploaded it today. If you’d like to see how it went, here is the video:

Yesterday, Antonio asked me to find something brown for him.

Antonio: Dumbbell! If you find something that's got a real brown vibe, can you bring it over?

Moments later, I saw Patty the brown cow. Think she’ll do?

Trying to catch Patty with a net.

Okay, so I couldn’t exactly fit her into my pockets. But I did check the lost-and-found, and there was a ranch tea table in there. I took it over to Antonio, and he gave me 728 bells for it.

As you may have seen in the video, Ruby has been sick lately. I gave her medicine Wednesday and yesterday, and she said it tasted like the bottom of a swamp! That’s a weird and oddly specific thing to say, and yet I kinda love it and want to use it sometime. 😆

Ruby: Wow, this tastes like the bottom of a swamp.
Well, it is Nook brand medicine.

Antonio and Ruby weren’t the only ones asking me for favors yesterday, though. Patty wanted a fossil, and Jeremiah asked me for some retro furniture. While I couldn’t find any retro furniture, I did give an icthyo torso to Patty. She loved it, and she paid me 528 bells for it…a fraction of what Tom Nook would’ve paid me.

Later on, I decided to check for a UFO…and it paid off! The spaceship came out right from my starting point (one of six possible UFO entry points), so it was quite easy to shoot it down. Lucky me!

This was my first UFO of the year, and the 34th I’ve shot down overall. I looked around town for the spaceship part, and I eventually found it by Mint’s house.

Today, Gulliver was down on the beach, near his crash-landed UFO.

Gulliver: There I was, minding my own business, leaving the odd crop circle for folks to scratch their heads about...

He told me about his rough landing, and then he realized a part was missing from his spaceship. Of course, I already had it. I handed it over, and he gave me a mermaid statue in return.

When I spoke to Jeremiah a bit later, I had an option that said “take this.” I ended up giving him the mermaid statue, and he actually accepted it! I didn’t know a mermaid statue would qualify as a “retro” item, but it did!

Jeremiah: All right! Huh huh huh! It's the mermaid statue furniture I was waiting for!

He gave me a bamboo wall in return. Then, he must have rushed home to check it out, because that’s where I found him not even two minutes later! He already had the statue on display, and he said he can’t wait to curl up with it for a nap!

Jeremiah: I can't wait to curl up for a nap with my new furniture, monk monk!
A frog and a mermaid? Sounds like an anime series. 😆

He seemed really grateful, and he wasn’t the only one. Nana, Antonio, and Patty were all talking about their gifts from yesterday (or Wednesday, in Nana’s case). It’s nice to see they (seemingly) appreciate the favors we do for them.

Also, Ruby was over her cold today, and she gave me an azalea bonsai to thank me for the medicine.

See you next week!
