Eraser Dust

A letter from Nook Shopping informed me that there is a new seasonal item available. It’s a moon rug for “Moon-Viewing Day,” and it costs 2,000 bells. It’s available until October 8th, so you may want to order one while you can.

Moon rug: 2,000 bells.

C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three big-time fish in a row. So I caught a puffer fish, a salmon, and a red snapper to complete the challenge. After selling him those fish, I returned home and got 16 other fish out of storage. They sold for 180,000 bells.

C.J.: Oh, you got a whole school for me? All together that'll be... 180,000 bells. Deal?

Tia wanted a new catchphrase to replace “in my tea,” so I told her to say “I’m a hot tea” instead.

Tia: I'm a hot tea, I'm a hot tea...

If you’re wondering, that balloon present contained five pieces of clay. Exciting, I know. 😛

Hornsby had a secret confession to tell me: He said he collects eraser dust!

Hornsby: Ready for this? I collect... Blibliblib... That's a drum roll noise... Anyway! I collect...eraser dust!

That sounds odd enough on its own, but he also said that it’s fun to smell it!

Hornsby: Anytime I erase a thing? I save the dust. I've got a few jars full now! They're real fun to smell.

Apparently, it reminds him of his previous ideas that have now been turned to dust. It almost sounds deep, if it wasn’t so crazy. 😛

Hornsby: I smell 'em and I think these were ideas I had...and now those ideas are dust.

I found nine regular star fragments and one Virgo star fragment on the beach.

Today is Labor Day in the United States. But unlike New Leaf, City Folk, and the GameCube version of Animal Crossing, New Horizons does not celebrate the holiday.
