New Bones

Jolly Redd’s ship was in town yesterday, so I checked out his works of art he had for sale. He had an academic painting (looked fake), a dynamic painting (looked real), a quaint painting (looked fake), and an ancient statue (looked fake). Since the only real one was something I already had in the museum, I decided to buy the ancient statue just to use as a Halloween decoration! 😀

I had an empty plot in town yesterday, so I bought five Nook Miles tickets so that I could check out some mystery islands for potential new villagers. But on the very first island I visited, I found Bones! He’s my buddy from City Folk, and he also lived in my New Leaf town for most of 2018.

Bones: today's the best day since I found out what 'pasgetti was!

As a bone-us, his name is appropriate for Halloween! Even if there’s nothing scary about him, I was more than happy to invite Bones to my island. 🙂

Today, I received the ancient statue in the mail from Jolly Redd. Blathers confirmed that it was fake, but that’s okay. I’m really happy with it as a Halloween decoration, because it actually levitates and moves around when you go up to it and press the A button!

At town hall, I decided to make a new town tune. It’s supposed to be the Addams Family theme song, although I’m not 100% satisfied with it. The town tune options need a *snap fingers* sound. 😉

I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground today. When I investigated, it had some gym clothes inside. I knew it belonged to a jock, so I asked Tybalt about it. Unfortunately, I picked the wrong jock. It was Louie’s bag, and the big ape gave me an athletic jacket for returning it.

Gullivarrr was in town, so I went diving for his communicator. It actually took me four dives to find it this time. Gullivarrr will be sending me a piratey item in the mail tomorrow.

Gullivarrr: OHMEGOSH!

Bones was moved in today, although he has some unpacking to do. Welcome to Forest, Bones! 🙂

Bones: We live on the same island now, so we'll be able to play every day! I'm so excited, yip yip!

I found fleas jumping on Rizzo two separate times tonight, including this time when he was just curiously standing in flowers.

Rizzo: Gyah! So I actually DID have bugs crawlin' on me.
Twice. Two times.

Later on, I found Wisp in town. I collected and returned his spirits, and he rewarded me with a blue subway-tile wall.

As for my online plans: First, there’s no Friday Night Forest this week. But instead, I’ll be hosting my Halloween race at some point this weekend. Saturday night is a strong possibility, but I’m not 100% sure yet. Check my Twitter on Saturday for details. When I’m ready, I’ll be inviting four people to join in via Dodo codes on Twitter, but friends will get the first chance.

After the race ends, I’ll be posting the Dodo code publicly on Twitter, so anyone can visit. I’ll stay on at least half an hour after the race ends.

And then next Friday, FNF will return with a Halloween party! I’ll try to have several activities planned: We can race on the Halloween course, we can have a costumed sumo tournament, and maybe I’ll come up with something else as well.

See you all next time! 🙂
