Point of No Return

Gullivarrr sent me a pirate outfit in the mail today; I just put it into storage for now.

Eloise taught me a new DIY recipe, for an ironwood low table. I made one, wrapped it up, and gave it to Agent S as a birthday present. Happy birthday, Agent S!

Agent S: Can I have my birthday present now?

She seemed to enjoy the present, and she had a good time at the party. Apollo was also there to help her celebrate.

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in a theatrical outfit. I changed into my pirate clothing (just like last time she wanted something theatrical), and again she loved it. She rewarded me with a Labelle dress.

Up at the campsite, I found Peanut the squirrel. She’s adorable, but I didn’t want to kick anyone out to get her.

Peanut, camping: Hi there! I'm Peanut, and I'm totes camping on your awesome island!

After making my rounds, I crafted a bunch of pitfall seeds and prepared my town for Friday Night Forest. A bit after 10:00, I opened my gate. Logan, Timo, and Sean were the first people to arrive. This was Sean’s first time in Forest. We first headed over to visit Agent S; Tia was now there to celebrate with her. Logan actually gave Agent S a 100k computer! 😮

We headed over to the Tut race, and that’s when William came over. The five of us ran our first race of the night, and Louie was on the course as a bonus obstacle. 😛 William won the race.

Two Tuts fall, and one other runs into Louie during a race.

Alex from Pawnee then came over, and we raced again (with six contestants this time). However, we didn’t exactly get to finish the race because MaryAnn showed up mid-race. 😂 Since we now had seven racers, I announced that it would be a prize round…with the winner got a painting! So we raced, and William won again. Congrats!

We took a short break from the racing at this point. I reminded people it was Agent S’s birthday, since some of them weren’t here the first time. And then I turned into Spider-Man.

Xavier then came over, and we had a full house! I suggested another Tut race with all eight of us, and this time Timo won. I think I came in 6th place, which was probably my worst performance yet. 😛

After that, we pretended to fish in the river just to see all our bobbers. Logan climbed up a waterfall/UFO structure…and then he couldn’t get down!

Logan: Local man gets stuff in cliff.

The only way down was to climb down the right side. But even though he was able to jump to the left part, he couldn’t jump back! Sean climbed up and jumped to the left (joining Logan), and then, Logan was freed. But now Sean couldn’t jump back, and he was stuck!

We hung out there, mostly talking about Nintendo…including 3DS and Wii U, and possible New Horizons updates. Around midnight, Logan left for the night. I went to go see if any of my villagers were crafting, and as soon as I left the area, Sean was able to get unstuck. 😛

T Zelda came over to restock Forest to full capacity. As for the waterfall/UFO cliff, it claimed another victim as William went up to check it out…and also got stuck.

Curiosity keeps killing the cat, over and over. 😛 After about 15 minutes of being stuck there, William left for the night.

Interestingly, Timo was able to get unstuck from that spot multiple times. Apparently, you have to jump at a very specific angle to get out? I don’t know. 😛 Anyway, Sean left a few minutes later, and the rest of us went to say hello to Peanut at the campsite.

I was then surprised to see Rodney come over. I played with him in New Leaf before, but this was his first time visiting in New Horizons. I wanted to let him have a chance to try out the King Tut race. So we headed back over the course, except for TZ, who left for the night, and Timo, who sat this race out. Alex won the final King Tut race of the night.

We fell into some holes over by the oasis, but it didn’t work very well. The stools aren’t lined up right for hole-falling, so it was kind of a mess. 😀 We just hung out for a while, until I ended the session around 1:30.

I had a good time, and I’m glad many of my regular visitors had a chance to run some Tut races. Thanks to everyone who came, it was fun! See you next time!
