Month: April 2020

At Able Sisters, Sable is finally starting to warm up to me. She even introduced herself. 😛

C.J. was in town with another fishing challenge for me. He wanted me to catch three horse mackerel sized (small) fish in a row. That was easy enough.

There didn’t seem to be a reward, but he did offer to buy my fish at a higher-than-usual price.

Since there was still an empty house plot, I used a Nook Miles Ticket to take another mystery island tour. But the animal there was definitely not someone I wanted to invite to Forest.

One day after having Gigi at my campsite, I ran into the queen of ugly frogs herself, Jambette! Yikes! I did what needed to be done: I pitfall’d her.

The island was otherwise unremarkable. I collected some red hyacinths for my town, gathered a few materials, and headed back to Forest…leaving Jambette there to die. 😛

Back in town, I thought I heard the jingling sound of shooting stars. But every time I looked up at the sky, there was nothing. I even stopped and waited for nearly ten minutes at one point. I guess this just wasn’t my day.

Sorry for the short entry today, but I may make up for it tomorrow (late tomorrow). It will be my 3rd Friday Night Forest, and it should be fun! 🙂 If all goes well, I’ll be posting Wi-Fi Moments #3 over the weekend. See you tomorrow!

My first black rose has bloomed today. 🙂

I’m glad to have it, but it dawned on me that I may not be able to turn it into a gold rose like I have in previous games. Because in earlier games, you had to water a wilted black rose with the golden watering can to make it turn gold. But in this game, flowers don’t wilt. Perhaps there’s an alternate way to make them, I’m not sure.

There was an animal camping at the campsite today, and it was Gigi the hideous frog! She said it would be fabulous to move into town. Over my dead body!

At Able Sisters, I realized that you can’t try on accessories from the floor. You can go into the dressing room to try them on, but not at the point of purchase like you could in previous games.

Agent S wanted to help out with Project K, so she gave me a DIY recipe for a raccoon figurine. I placed it in front of Nook’s Cranny. 😛

I found a lost item on the ground, and it belonged to the first person I asked about it: Tia. She thanked me and gave me a sleeved apron as my reward.

Nook’s Cranny had a plastic canister for sale today, so I bought it. I wanted to paint it red, but it couldn’t be customized. I placed it, along with some firewood, next to Rizzo’s house. Just in case there’s any wannabe arsonists around, it would be a good place to start… 🔥🔥🔥

Flick was in town tonight, so I was able sell all my bugs to him at good prices. I wish he was here every night!

Shari was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her. In return, she gave me a henley shirt.

When I went up to visit Keaton, he mentioned me burying pitfalls the other day!

Tia taught me a new reaction, glee. It’s the one with the music notes that rise into the air as we…whistle? I didn’t put it into my reaction wheel as of now, but I suppose it would make a good replacement for joy.

I redeemed some Nook Miles for a ticket to a mystery island, and I ran into Queenie the ostrich there. She’s not bad, but I did not ask her to move to Forest.

I continued making small improvements to my island, and I’m pleased to see the progress in Forest. There’s a long way to go, but I’m enjoying the journey! 🙂 See you next time!

Tonight, I was surprised to find Labelle at the event plaza. Oh, excuse me, she calls herself Label now.

She seems to have taken over Gracie’s role in New Horizons (but why are all the old NPCs being replaced?). She will mention a fashion theme, and we have to dress to fit the theme and let Label judge our outfit.

Today’s theme was comfy clothing, so she gave me an example of what she’s looking for: a printed sleeve sweater. She wouldn’t judge what I was already wearing… so I changed out of my printed sleeve sweater into the printed sleeve sweater she gave me. I then spoke to her again, and she was satisfied with my outfit. 😛

She said she would mail me a tailors ticket, which I can take to Able Sisters and exchange for an item that costs 3,000 bells or less. She also gave me a Labelle knit shirt.

I again found Tia in my flower garden, watering all my flowers! Almost every time I went by my house, she was in there! I guess she has become my full-time gardener! Well, at least she works for peanuts. 😉

I decided to put in another new house plot, and I put it next door to Rizzo. I feel bad for whoever moves in, but I didn’t want Rizzo to be the only “attraction” on my small, northern piece of land.

I planted some flowers in a few places around town, and I set up a few things for Friday night. After that, I bought a Nook Miles Ticket and traveled to a mystery island. The island had a tiny island of its own, in a lake. There were rocks there, but the water was too wide for my vaulting pole to cross!

Fortunately, I was able to solve a simple puzzle to find a way across. 😉 Each rock there was a money rock, so I was able to rack up some bells. 💰💰💰

The villager visiting the island was Norma the cow. I had no interest in her mooving to Forest. But still, it was nice to have a fresh face to pitfall. She looked udderly shocked when she walked right into it. However, she didn’t get mad about it. 🐄

When I returned to town, I ran into Tia again. She was finally done gardening, but maybe that made her sad… because she taught me the sadness reaction. 😛

I planted some flowers I swiped from the mystery island. Forest is slowly, but surely, coming together. It’s still just a two-star island, but things are starting to look up. 🙂
