Last night, Harry invited me over for drinks with some of his friends. He makes his own soda water, cherry cola, and fruit punch. But of course, it’s just meaningless dialogue and not a real invitation.
Tonight, Jambette was all packed up and ready to move out of town! She can hop on the first Jam-boat outta here, for all I care.
I’m glad her stay was so short this time. Not to mention, this probably gives me a good seven years of Jambette immunity.
Up by the bus stop, I listened in on a conversation between Queenie and Boomer. They were talking about food, and Boomer basically said that he prefers any food he can have large quantities of. Queenie was surprised that Boomer doesn’t seem to care about flavor.
It’s Saturday night, so I headed over to the Roost for K.K.’s show. He performed King K.K. for me tonight.
After the show, I ran into Queenie again. She was giving me tips on how to water flowers: She said to sprinkle a little here, sprinkle a little there…and then soak them all.
I spoke with Jambette tonight, and I really enjoyed our conversation. No, I’m not being sarcastic at all! I enjoyed it because she said she was considering moving out of town!
I told her to go for it…just to be a supportive friend, of course. I’m honestly shocked that she’s considering moving out so soon! It’s only been a month! But I’ll gladly take this turn of events, and I’ll breathe a nice croak sigh of relief.
Boomer asked me to make a delivery to Queenie, and the gift was a tall cactus! Who sends a cactus as a gift? (Other than Janet from The Good Place, of course.) But Queenie actually seemed thrilled with it, and Boomer rewarded me with a citrus carpet.
Antonio was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine I had stored in a letter. Get well soon!
Down at the Roost, I told K.K. I was feeling a bit blue. So he played K.K. Chorale for me. Interestingly, that’s the same song he played for me in New Horizons tonight!
When I visited Gabi, she told me she hasn’t cleaned in the corners of her house. So I may find a dust bunny. How appropriate.
Roscoe asked me for some lampy furniture, but I couldn’t find any lamps at the shop, in the recycle bin, or the lost-and-found. I guess he’ll have to get used to being in the dark.
On Monday, I received Hopper’s goodbye letter in the mail.
Yesterday, his replacement moved in. It’s Gabi the rabbit, who was actually one of my starters back in 2008! I’m not a huge fan of Gabi, but she’s certainly not as bad as some villagers I have in Forest right now.
Speaking of those worse villagers, I pitfall’d one of them.
Queenie asked me to visit her house, which is actually a pretty rare thing in this game. I agreed, but she made me schedule a time (5:00). In the meantime, she went home, locked her door, and put up this sign. This is something I don’t see very often!
I ran into Pascal on the southern bridge, and I found a scallop on the beach to give him. But first, he wanted to talk about reading the dictionary.
He then asked for the scallop and gave me a helm in its place…before he jumped into the river and swam away.
Jambette asked me to make a delivery to Queenie, but there was a potential problem: She wanted the delivery done by 5 p.m.! And Queenie wasn’t going to open her door until then…or so I thought.
But I went by Queenie’s house, and fortunately, her door was open early. In fact, it was just barely after 4:30! However, she wouldn’t let me give her the delivery; she was only interested in me visiting. And she kept asking me to touch her furniture.
Once I was done touching everything (ahem), I decided to leave. She asked what I thought of her house, and I told her it was awesome. But she thought I was being sarcastic, and she got mad!
Once I was outside, I re-entered her house to make the delivery. When I told her it was from Jambette, she said she didn’t expect anything too tasteful from her. (After that, I just had to forgive her for getting mad at me.)
The gift was a fire hydrant.
Once I finally tracked Jambette down again, she rewarded me with a floral wall.
Today, Queenie sent me a letter, thanking me for visiting yesterday. She attached 500 bells as a gift. Ooh, big spender.
Gabi was outside today, so I didn’t get to see the inside of her house yet. But she was discussing decorating, saying she was conflicted by the battles of angel Gabi and devil Gabi.
You might want to see Dr. Shrunk about this problem.
I posted a full gameplay video of yesterday’s session, so check it out if you’d like to see a fairly typical session of mine:
