46 Dives

I found Lopez sitting on the bench in Peach Park today. It’s a shame this bench doesn’t get used more often! It’s cute to see villagers sitting there…even if it’s just Lopez.

Lopez: Well, if it isn't slick! So glad to hear your voice.

When I visited Hornsby, he asked about my hobbies. He knows me too well! 😉

Hornsby: Is it true that your hobby is annoying Rizzo?

Tia had plans to move out of Forest, but obviously, I made her change her mind.

There was a meteor shower tonight, so I stopped to wish on several shooting stars. Fortunately I didn’t get run over, even though I had my eyes closed while on Rainbow Road. 😉

I toyed with the idea of moving Louie’s house near the entrance of Donkey Kong Country. I expanded the cliff, moved some things around, and imagined what it would look like…

Is this a good spot?

But I didn’t like how it partially blocked the view of the waterfall. And because of the bridge and the relative closeness of Rainbow Road, moving the waterfall wasn’t feasible.

The other alternative would be to first move Midge’s house (the house in the lower-left corner of the above pic) further west… and then make more room for Louie’s house on the cliff. But I wasn’t sure I wanted to do all that. So I just put things back the way they were. (Besides, moving Louie would create a vacancy on Apple Lane, and I’d have to move a third house to fill in the gap).

After a short break, I went diving so that I could catch a scallop and get a reward from Pascal. So I swam, and dived…and dived. Again and again. A scallop did not appear until literally my 46th catch of the night! That’s 46 catches, and 31 minutes, all for a single pearl from Pascal.

But there was something good that came out of it. I caught something new, an umbrella octopus. And because it was my 30th sea creature in my Critterpedia, I earned 2,000 Nook Miles for it. So I’ve caught 75% of all the sea creatures in the game now.

I got an umbrella octopus! Too bad I'm already soaked.

After that, I wrapped up my game for the night. See you all next time!
