Gulliver sent me a letter in the mail today, along with my reward for helping him yesterday. That reward was…a milkmaid hat. Like…. seriously? I hate what they’ve done to Gulliver in New Horizons.
One of my Nook Miles+ goals for today was to catch three sea creatures. That was the only reason I went diving, and I actually found a scallop (and Pascal) on my very first dive. He actually compared a pizza delivery guy to a knight in shining armor. 🍕😂
He gave me a mermaid fishy dress, which was another duplicate. I just sold it at Nook’s Cranny for 1,000 bells.
At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Ros, George, Ryan, Logan, Timo, Alex (from A-Nation), and Alex (from Pawnee) joined in. After not opening the past three Fridays, I didn’t think I’d get a full house. But I was pleasantly surprised by the turnout. 🙂
After everyone checked out the free DIY recipes scattered on the ground, we headed over to Donkey Kong Country. They got to see the new area, and they all seemed to like it.
Although when I sat on the bench, they apparently thought I meant for them to go across to the other side, so they ended up taking a shortcut instead of going around the loop the long way. 😛
We climbed up to the rock-head statue to take a group photo.
Further west, there was a pinecone on the ground that nobody could pick up! It apparently got glitched (or permanently lagged) somehow. 😛
When we went over to the frog race course, we encountered some weirdness there as well. Ros was stuck on one “lily pad,” and couldn’t jump off. There was also a spot that none of us could jump to. Everyone was just bopping in place, trying unsuccessfully to jump. I joked that maybe the pinecone’s ghost was on that spot.
Ryan had to leave, and once he did, Ros was set free and the ghost was gone. 😛
We went over to Lopez’s house, and he was crafting a tulip crown. But something gave me a splitting headache… 😛
When I went outside, Mario was sitting on a toilet, applauding, as a frog was hitting him with a net and a humongous fish was blocking the moonlight.
After that, we kinda just wandered around a bit. Alex from Pawnee left, and I put my King Tut mask on and ran around.
After I buried my first pitfall seed of the night (and fell into it myself), Ros returned, and Calvin tried to enter. But then we all got disconnected. I reopened, and Ros, Calvin, George, and Timo came over. I trapped Rizzo, and we went to visit Tybalt.
George left, but as he was leaving, we all got disconnected again. At that point, I called it a night and I did not reopen. But I had a good time tonight, so thanks to everyone who came!
I’ll be doing some dreaming this weekend, so maybe there will be another Dream Island Hopping episode coming up in a couple days. See you next time!
