Month: August 2021

On Thursday, Apple and Agent S were both hanging out at the plaza, burning sparklers. They were there the whole night, just burning one after another! Hornsby asked me to play a treasure hunt game, and I won a music-fest shirt.

Gulliver and Wisp were both in town. So I collected and returned Gulliver’s five communicator parts and Wisp’s five spirits. Wisp rewarded me with some colorful puzzle flooring.

Eloise asked me to catch a cicada shell for her. But I searched and searched, for over an hour…and I never found one.

Yesterday, Gulliver sent me a veil in the mail. Hey, that rhymed.

After doing some crafting, I earned 2,000 Nook Miles for crafting my 1,000th furniture item. But that was only the 4th of five goals, so I won’t get the final one until I’ve crafted a total of 3,000 furniture items. That could take a while…

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town. I asked him for a random song and he performed K.K. Marathon for me, Apollo, Agent S, Louie, and Tia.

Even though it was nice to have a fairly large crowd for the show, the song was so slow and boring that I didn’t really enjoy it.

I finished removing my King Tut race course, but I decided to keep the oasis area for a while. I brought over the Sphinx and pyramid to this area as well.

I have no immediate plans on what to do with the now empty area in the western part of town. However, I do not plan on putting in another obstacle course anytime soon.

See you all next time. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Yesterday, my campsite was cursed with an appearance by Eugene, the ugly smug koala with a huge orange nose. There’s no way he’s moving to this island.

Celeste was in town last night, and she taught me how to make a crescent-moon chair.

Not far away, I also spotted Jolly Redd’s ship. He had a fake quaint painting, a fake amazing painting, a fake informative statue, and a moving painting I wasn’t sure about. I bought the moving painting, and I felt pretty good about it, since the other three were fake.

But today, I received the art from Redd, and Blathers informed me that it was a fake. Even though Redd will usually have at least one real work of art, it’s not a guarantee. It’s a bummer, but at least I now have a picture of the fake one for comparison purposes for next time.

Today is Bones’s birthday, and I made sure to attend his party. This is his first birthday on the island, believe it or not. He looks so sharp in his birthday suit outfit! 😛

I gave him a customized doghouse as his present, and he loved it. Agent S was also at the party, and she was happy to see Bones smiling. 🙂

C.J. was in town with another seasports challenge for me. He wanted me to catch three big-time fish in a row, so I caught a catfish, an arowana, and a soft-shelled turtle. I grabbed some additional fish from storage, and I sold 13 fish to C.J. (in Donkey Kong Country) for 197k.

I’ll be back with another entry later in the week. Have a good day!

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.
