Just after 4 a.m. last night/this morning, I caught my first evening cicada. Seemed like a weird time to find an evening cicada, but a new catch is a new catch, so I’m not complaining. 😛
A few minutes later, I ran into Wisp! Since an Animal Crossing day doesn’t start until 5 a.m., that meant I had Leif, Celeste, and Wisp yesterday! After collecting Wisp’s spirits, he gave me a sailor’s hat.
I also caught my first blue weevil beetle. Donating it to the museum resulted in one of Blathers’ finest lines of dialogue I’ve seen yet. 😛
This afternoon, I checked Nook’s Cranny for another wet suit…but there wasn’t one on sale today! I was assuming they’d have a different version every day, but that’s not the case. However, Breezy sent me a leaf-print wet suit in the mail, so I’ll be using that for now. Thanks, Breezy!
Nook’s Cranny had a (wet) floor sign for sale, so I bought one for the main room of my house. 😉
Hornsby taught me the “pride” reaction. That is my 40th reaction, with only four blank spots remaining on my list.
At Agent S’s house, I was quite surprised (and happy) to see that Agent S was displaying the heart doorplate that I gave her for her birthday! I didn’t even think there was a chance she would use it, since villagers don’t display wallpaper or wall-mounted items that you give them.
I caught a couple of new fish, a puffer fish and this mahi-mahi.
While diving, I caught my first scallop. And that caused Pascal to pop up and demand ask for it! I gave it to him, and in return, he gave me a recipe for a mermaid wall. He also gave me some words of wisdom about lost socks. 🧦
He swam away, and I followed him. I now know what Pascal does with scallops: He eats them!
At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Timo, Sacky, Logan, Bran, Alex (from Pawnee), and Ryan (from Petal Burg) came over for a visit. We headed over to the bog for a frog race. To my surprise, I actually won the first race! After I won, I announced the prize was one billion bells. 😉 And now I’m in debt to myself.
By the way, I figured out a way around me having a party popper in my hand after firing the starter pistol (popper). All I have to do is grab a single party popper, instead of holding the whole stack. So after firing it, my hands are free. And that probably helped me out.
We got set for a second race, but Sacky wasn’t interested this time. That’s when T. Zelda showed up. I invited her to join us, but at first she was just visiting villagers. She then changed her mind and joined in the next race. This time, I had a lead again, but I was a bit slow taking out my ladder at the end. Ryan passed me up for a last-second win.
I then suggested that we go for a swim…while still wearing the frog caps. I suggested going to my pier, so I led the way. And that’s what it happened. I fell into my own pitfall! I knew it was there too, but I wasn’t far enough out of the way.
We made our way to the pier and kept diving off repeatedly. For something that’s so simple, it sure was a lot of fun. 😀
After several minutes of that, I swam to my “private” north beach, and a few frogs followed me. We then had a bit of a revolving door sequence: TZ left, Alex (from A-Nation) arrived, Bran left, and Nami arrived. We headed over to the museum to look at the fish exhibit and see some of the new creatures. Sacky then left, Bran returned, Alex left, and Sacky returned. We hung out in the aquarium for a while, and then Sacky left again.
Valentine arrived wearing a fancy-looking dress. I commented that our outfits were all so random…a frog, a baby, an astronaut, etc. It was like a costume party (although Valentine changed outfits prior to this photo).
We then headed over to my house, and Ryan suggested that we recreate the thing from my old ACCF Wi-Fi Moments series where we’d clap when the lights were turned out, and then act shocked when the lights were turned on.
Around midnight, Logan left. The rest of us did one final frog race for the night, and I won fairly easily. Maybe the lag was preventing the others from doing as well tonight, but it felt weird for me to win this race, especially twice in one night. 😛 After the race, we took some group photos.
We visited the campsite, Spectacle Rock, and the north beach. I had a lot of fun, and I got some good video clips…enough that I may be posting Wi-Fi Moments #7 on Sunday. Around 12:50, I ended the session for the night. See you all next time!
