Today, I bought a spooky standing lamp at Nook’s Cranny. Its face looks a little…unhappy, so I thought it would be a good thing to place next to Rizzo’s house.
I also bought my daily piece of candy, and a bat umbrella. I don’t know if the ghost and bat umbrellas are more likely to show up in October, or if it’s just a coincidence that I’ve had them both show up.
Midge was crafting today, and she taught me the D.I.Y. recipe for a spooky lantern set. The good news is that it only requires four orange pumpkins. I later got the recipe for a spooky tower from a balloon present, and it requires seven orange pumpkins. I still haven’t seen any recipes that use the other three colors of pumpkins, though.
Jolly Redd was in town, so I boarded his ship to check out his art. He had a serene painting that looked real, a scary painting that looked fake, a fake jolly painting, and a scenic painting I wasn’t sure about. Since I already had the serene painting in the museum, I took a chance on the scenic painting.
After a utility sink fell from a tree I shook, I wrapped it up and gave it to Hornsby. I didn’t think it was the best gift, but Hornsby apparently disagreed. He gave me his photo!!!!!
I took it home and hung it up on my wall. Hornsby’s favorite saying is “You can’t hit a mosquito with a horseshoe.” I don’t think that’s true, but I’m just excited to finally have Hornsby’s photo! 😀
It’s my 6th villager photo; here’s a look at all six of them so far.
About 10:00, I opened up my gate for Friday Night Forest. Nami, Ryan from Eventide, Timo, Logan, Alex from A-Nation, Calvin, and Alex from Pawnee came over. I had a larger-than-usual collection of duplicate D.I.Y. recipes for everyone to choose from, so they grabbed some of them up and we wished on some shooting stars.
I then informed them that Redd had a real serene painting, and the first one there got to buy it. Of course, the path there had a hidden pitfall. Logan got there first. 😛
We did a little diving, and we hung out at the former Rainbow Road, which I don’t yet have a Halloween name for yet. At about 10:30, Ryan left.
Many of my visitors were wearing costumes. Nami was a witch, Logan was an ogre, Alex from Pawnee changed into Chucky, Alex from A-Nation was a skeleton, and so on.
After hanging out at various spots around town, we went to my house for a while. About 11:20, Xavier came over. I’ve played New Leaf with Xavier before, but this was his first visit to Forest in New Horizons. So I gave him a tour of town, although it was a slow, leisurely tour. 😛
Over by Tybalt’s house (where Tybalt was crafting pitfall seeds), Timo said “number 15.” I was just surprised to see Timo say something! Timo usually doesn’t speak. 😛
Once the tour was wrapped up, we headed to the frog race course. We raced, but not in frog suits; we just all wore our own costumes.
Alex from A-Nation (the skeleton) won the race. But I noticed that Xavier never made it to the finish line. He got stuck! We went back to find him, and he could not jump from the spot he was on!
We cleared out of the area to make sure none of us were blocking him, but that didn’t help. He still couldn’t jump to any of the adjacent spaces!
I joked that I super-glued that spot on the ground. But he was stuck good, so I suggested that he use the (minus) button to leave, and then come back. He gave it a try, and he was able to leave successfully. Then someone joined in…and it was Ros, not Xavier. 😛
Ros and Nami offered to leave to make room for Xavier to come back, but I didn’t want them to go…it wasn’t their fault, after all. Not that it was anyone’s fault, but it’s kind of an awkward thing. I was just going to let Xavier know if anyone left, or if not, I’d let him come another time. But Nami went ahead and left anyway. So that was very thoughtful of her, even though it wasn’t necessary.
But Nami left and Xavier re-joined us. We went to my house (since Xavier hadn’t seen the inside yet) and I gave a tour of each room. Logan left just a few minutes later. After checking out each room, we had a sneezing/allergy attack in the basement. 😛 Calvin left, and the rest of use took a final photo in the basement.
After that, I ended the session for the night. Thanks to all who came, it was fun! See ya next time! 🙂
I’ll just be over here, stuffing my villagers faces with wrapped fruit. :/
Haha, I hope it works for you soon!
Just a tip, all the pumpkin recipes use orange pumpkins, but you can customize them using the other pumpkins.
I actually really like this because the customization kits are WAY too overpriced, so it’s nice to use the other pumpkins for a change.
Thanks, that’s good to know! 🙂
I had lots of fun last night! I didn’t expect there to be room, and it was a rare Friday night that I was available in the first place. I still don’t know how I got stuck! I even whipped out the computer duster and started spraying my Joy-Con! I actually didn’t know I could leave by pressing the – button, so I learned something new.
Thanks for coming, I’m glad you had fun! Yeah, that was weird with you getting stuck like that. I’ve seen odd lag issues before, but not quite like that! Glad you learned something new though. I think it’s still preferable to use the airport when possible, but the – button was necessary in this situation.
I have tried to visit, but I can never seem to connect. Hopefully one day I can 🙂 I really love what you post!
Yeah, it usually fills up pretty quickly, so it’s hard to get in. Good luck! And thanks!
Thanks for a great night. I had a blast!
No problem, it was fun! Come again sometime! 🙂
Congrats again on Hornsby’s photo! And thank you for opening your gates for fnf last night 😀 I had a great time!
Thanks! And no problem! I’m glad you had a good time; I did too! 🙂
Wow you are quite lucky with these photos ! I have 4 so far. Claudia just moved into my town, i dont like her yet but i dont hate her.
