He Stole

Jolly Redd was in town today, so of course I checked out the art that he had for sale. While I don’t look at art guides to find the answers, I do consult my own screenshots I’ve taken of the art I’ve previously encountered. The famous painting that Redd had today looked the same as a fake I previously bought. Two other paintings he had, I wasn’t sure about. However, I felt good about this ancient statue.

Redd: Can't get that one out of your mind? I know just what that's like. But I say why get it out of your mind at all?

I’ve seen a different ancient statue before, and it had glowing eyes. I’m fairly sure that’s a fake. This one didn’t have glowing eyes, so I think it’s probably real. Please note that I’m not looking for any external help on these, I’m just explaining my own process.

As I was walking along my cliffs tonight, a ghost came out from around a corner. I was not expecting to see Wisp, and it actually scared me for a second! 😛

Wisp comes around the corner and scares me!

I collected his spirits for him, and in return, he gave me a lawn chair. Just one minute later, Keaton noticed my lawn chair and wanted to buy it. I sold it for 247 bells. So all that work searching all over town for Wisp’s spirits resulted in me scoring fewer bells than shaking one native fruit tree.

While I was near Sudden Valley, I decided to add a new attraction. It’s loosely based on a gag in Arrested Development. Technically, it should be a “severed” prosthetic hand, but Animal Crossing doesn’t exactly have one of those. So I put a skeleton in jail bars, along with a sign that says “he stole.”

The skeleton was previously in my house, but I didn’t need it after I remodeled. So I found a good use for him. 😛

While fishing in the river, I caught my first soft-shelled turtle. And of course, I donated it to the museum.

I caught a soft-shelled turtle! It's more sensitive than other turtles.

It also earned me 2,000 Nook Miles for being my 60th “fish.”

I then jumped off of Eagle Mountain and went diving for sea creatures. Unlike yesterday, I had no trouble finding Pascal today. I found a scallop on just my 4th dive of the day. Pascal was talking about asking trees what their five-year plans are.

Pascal: Nobody ever asks a tree what its five-year plan is, maaan. Maybe that's why they can grow so tall.

He gave me a D.I.Y. recipe for a mermaid table. I also earned 1,000 Nook Miles for giving him a scallop for the 20th time.

Hornsby asked about moving out today, but I told him to stay.

I know I haven’t done much dreaming yet (only one town that first night to try it out), but I plan on doing more very soon! See you all next time.
