Saturday Night Forest

Yesterday, Jolly Redd was in town with four works of art for me to choose from. The famous painting appeared to be fake, and the flowery painting appeared to be real (but I already have it in the museum). So that left a quaint painting and a beautiful statue, both of which I had not seen before in New Horizons. I took a chance and bought the quaint painting.

Today, I received the painting in the mail. I took it over to Blathers, and he informed me that it was a fake. 🙁

When I went diving for a Nook Miles+ goal, I found a scallop and Pascal showed up to ask for it. Pascal wondered why people used to try to turn lead into gold instead of just accepting lead the way it was. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town, and I asked him for a random song. He performed Café K.K. for me, Keaton, and Lopez. Now if only K.K. could perform in a café. 😉

I made a special Halloween mural that’s on my beach near the graveyard.

At 10:00, I opened up my gate. Logan and Alex from Pawnee came over…and surprisingly, that was it. I know this was my first time opening on a Saturday night, but I expected more visitors than that…so I posted to Twitter to remind people. Three people replied that they were trying to get in, but were getting an error message.

So I closed my gate and reopened around 10:30 or so. This time, Maria, James, Logan, and Alex from Pawnee came over. As you can see in this screenshot, I also made a pattern for K.K. night.

Logan told us that Alex from A-Nation was also trying to come over, but he was getting the error message as well. We noticed that both times, nobody joined in after Alex from Pawnee. So we thought maybe he was locking the door behind him when he came in. 😉 But he offered to leave and return to see if the other Alex could get in…and it worked! So we had both Alexes.

We headed over to the plaza, and I asked everyone to go crazy as I watched K.K.’s show. People running around during a show provides some funny moments, as some of you may remember from my ACCF Wi-Fi Moments.

K.K. sings through a fish.

After a few shows, we walked through Donkey Kong Country and Alex did some fishing.

An ocean sunfish obscures the view of Alex's face, but you can still see his glasses.

A bit later, Maria was trying to catch a shark, and Alex stole it away. It turned out to be a whale shark, too! 😮

We went to my house and merged in the basement. It’s a shame that stairways seem to be the only place where merging still works. I guess it’s so that people don’t accidentally push each other up/down stairs or out a door.

After we were done hanging out in my house, we visited Apple. She was crafting a cabin wall, which I don’t think of us needed. 😛

Shortly after that, I ended the session (just after midnight). Thanks to everyone who came, it was fun!
