Fireworks in Moonscar

Even though I don’t really play Pocket Camp, I decided to at least link my accounts so that I could unlock the Pocket Camp items in New Horizons. So I can now order from this list. 🙂

I found a letter from Flick in the mail; he sent me a bronze bug trophy. I put it in my exercise/trophy room, which is getting a bit crowded and unorganized. 😛 As I get more furniture, I’m really starting to hate these 6×6 rooms. It’s fine for a bathroom, but it’s too small for just about anything else.

I also got a letter from the Happy Home Academy, and my HHA score is now 88,712. That’s an improvement, but it’s not enough to trigger the next reward. Rizzo mailed me a skull doorplate, like the one I gave him that’s still on his door. I gave it to his next door neighbor, Lopez.

When I went diving, I found a scallop on my 2nd dive. Pascal gave me another pearl for it.

Logan invited me over to his town, so I joined him in Moonscar for fireworks. Alex, Nami, Jed, and Jj were also there. Logan had a bunch of cool firework designs including Blathers, Tom Nook, Mario, Tortimer, Squidward, and more.

Logan has an obstacle course in his town, and I competed against Alex on it. I was able to jump over the first two buried items (which I assumed were pitfalls), while Alex fell into the first one on his side. I thought that lag had helped me out, but looking back, I realize maybe they weren’t all pitfalls. Logan may have buried something else just to mess with us. 😛

Anyway, my lead disappeared when my 3rd landing spot actually did have a pitfall (and Alex’s did not). Alex took the lead going up the cliff, but lag evened us up. But I was first to vault my way to the finish line.

After the race, Logan had a surprise for me: He recreated Spectacle Rock!

We hung out in Logan’s house for a while, and Alex disconnected without warning. It kicked us all back to the airport. I thought I saw something unusual flash by, but I wasn’t sure what it was. Fortunately, I was recording, and when I went back later to look at the footage, I saw a balloon with a very long string, flying horizontally, from the ocean into the airport!

It only appeared on three frames, two of which were all string. That may be the weirdest graphical glitch I’ve seen in New Horizons so far. Alex wasn’t in the ocean to begin with, and he couldn’t have been holding a balloon there anyway, so I don’t think it was simple lag.

Anyway, those of us that remained were about to play some sumo. But that’s when Alex tried to return, and we all disconnected.

Logan didn’t reopen, so I just went over to my plaza and got a bunch of items from Crazy Redd. Several minutes later, I wrapped up my game for the night.

See you all next time! Have a great day, and Never Stop Crossing!
