September Changes

Yesterday, Label was in town and she wanted me to wear an outfit that looks like it belongs in a fairy tale. As an example, she gave me…a military uniform? That sounds like the opposite of a fairy tale to me!

Label: You see, it's a military uniform.

I put it on, and kept my cavalier hat on as well (which probably helped). When I spoke with Label again, she loved the outfit and gave me some Labelle sneakers.

Later on, I started up the island designer app and removed my pillars. This is what it looked like.

Moments later, I started working on my new project. I have a general idea of what I want to do, but not exactly a specific plan. I’m still experimenting with some things and I may try out several ideas and layouts before I finalize things. So don’t expect a reveal right away; this may take me several days.

By the way, I also removed my small island with the rock-head statue that was north of town hall.

On Isabelle’s “newscast” early this morning, she announced that acorns and pine cones may now fall from trees you shake. She also sent a DIY recipe for a “tree’s bounty little tree.” And for September, Nook Shopping has a new seasonal item called a grape-harvest basket.

Nook’s Cranny also has a new look for the season. Summer is now over in Animal Crossing, and fall/autumn is now underway.

Once I found my first acorn, I knew just what to do with it: I took it up to the cemetery. It will be my new item for the Animal Crossing: Wild World grave, representing the Acorn Festival.

Early this morning, I caught my first monarch butterfly, cricket, and bell cricket. When I played again tonight, I caught my first migratory locust, red dragonfly, salmon, king salmon, and sweet shrimp. So I’ve already donated a good chunk of the new September catches to the museum. Not a bad day.

Crazy Redd was in town, and two of his paintings appeared to be fakes. The other two were ones that I haven’t seen yet in New Horizons. I ended taking a chance on a detailed painting.

Pascal popped up when I found a scallop in the ocean, and he mentioned there is a used-time shop near his place. But honestly, I was more interested in imagining what his place looks like than wondering how a shop could sell used time. 😉

Pascal: People ask, 'Where does the time go?' But I know, maaan. There's a used-time store near my place.

He gave me a pearl in exchange for the scallop.

Have a great day, and I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow! 🙂

Update: Later on, Midge asked about moving out of town…but I told her to stay. Also, I spotted Wisp in town tonight. I collected his spirits for him, and he gave me a blue intricate wall in return.
