The first fireworks festival of the summer was held today, and I picked up some items from Redd. He has some new treats this year, including cotton candy, frozen treats, and boba tea!
These are more like the treats in New Leaf, in that you can actually eat (or drink) them up after a few uses. But keep in mind that they count as food, so you can destroy your rocks if you hit them with a shovel after eating or drinking.
Isabelle gave me a bulb bopper to wear, so I put it on. At 9:30, I opened up my gate. Jac came over, and surprisingly, he was the only one…at least for the first 20 minutes.
At the plaza, I was dressed as King Tut, and I fell on my face immediately after waving! I wasn’t even walking, let alone running! I’ve never seen that before!
At 9:50, Bran came over to join in. T. Zelda also tried to join in a bit later, but we all got disconnected. So I reopened, and T. Zelda, Jac, Sacky, and Bran came over. TZ shared some of Redd’s treats, so thanks, TZ! We sat at the oasis as we enjoyed some fireworks, treats, and bean-tossing.
After a little while, it said that someone quietly left. But when I checked to see who it was, I saw that two people actually left: TZ and Sacky (at the same time). The three of us remaining did some diving, and then Sacky returned about 10:30.
I suggested a couple of King Tut races, so Bran, Jac, and I competed. (Sacky did not join in.) I actually won both races, and I figured it must’ve been due to home-tomb advantage. 😛
We then had a diving competition, and I beat Bran 20-19. My last catch happened with just three seconds to spare, so it was super close! Jac had 13 points, and Sacky did not participate.
Jac suggested a sumo match, and I had just enough pitfalls for one round. Jac, Bran, and I competed, and Bran was the winner. Congrats, Bran!
MaryAnn then came over, and we headed to the plaza. My villagers appeared to be all lined up for Redd!
Four of us were dressed as Mario at one point, and one Mario trapped two of the others on the bleacher seats above the sumo ring. That Mario (who may have been me) revealed his true identity: Wario!
I stayed on until midnight, when we watched the grand finale at Peach Park.
I had a good time, so thank you to everyone who came!
However, I feel like I need an extended break from online play for a while. So Friday Night Forest is discontinued until further notice.
