K.K. Returns to Roost

Late on Saturday night (after midnight), I found K.K. Slider enjoying some coffee in the Roost.

K.K.: Hey. Thought I'd pop in for a quick cup of mud.

The Roost is where K.K. used to perform in the City Folk and Wild World days, so it was nice to see him reunited with Brewster…at least for a while.

On Sunday night, I recovered Wisp’s spirits and he gave me a shaded pendant lamp.

After I drank some more coffee, Isabelle came into the Roost again for more coffee. And as I left, Brewster gave me another item: a cup with saucer.

Brewster: A cup with saucer... I'll put it in your pockets for you...

When I played tonight, I forgot that the cup with saucer was a Brewster item, and I sold it. The good news is that it can be ordered from the catalog (whew!), so I ordered a replacement. ☕

I visited Apple, and she told me that she’s been craving vichyssoise lately. However, she said she still prefers apple juice…even as a chip dip! 😮

Apple: But if I had to choose between that and apple juice, I'd pick apple juice every time.
You’d do that to your own…juice?

Jolly Redd’s ship was in town tonight, but he didn’t have any art that I needed.

Celeste was also in town to enjoy a heavy meteor shower. She gave me a Scorpius fragment, which I thought was odd. Surely I haven’t already received all of her new items, have I? Unless she only had a few added in the 2.0 update. 🤷‍♀️ But I did get a cute video clip of her walking right towards the camera on a narrow cliff. I think I’ll turn it into a video outro.

Celeste cutely stands facing the camera.

Today is Monday, which meant that the vendors on Harv’s Island have new inventory. But because Redd was in Forest, and it was after 11 p.m., it practically felt like a ghost town there. 😛 Katrina, Saharah, Reese & Cyrus, and Kicks were the only ones there. I bought a few things from Saharah and Kicks, but I’ll have to wait until tomorrow for Redd and Leif.

See you all again soon!

Cursed to Nap

Yesterday, Nook’s Cranny had a creepy skeleton for sale. And where do they display the dead body? Right next to the toast, of course! 😛 What an appetizing combination! 😋

I finally worked on the area where my oasis used to be. Using a titan arum as the centerpiece, I made a small pond that’s inspired by the fairy fountains of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I also placed some glowing moss around the edges of it. Here’s a look at it:

My fairy fountain pond.
Just don’t expect anyone to come out of the flower and kiss you.

Tonight, Bones told me that he couldn’t stop yawning all day. He asked if I felt tired too, and I said yes. He thinks maybe everyone on Forest is “cursed to nap.” 😛

Bones: Wait, maybe it isn't just us. Maybe everyone on Forest is cursed to nap!

Hornsby was in his house cooking, so I asked him what he was making. He was making french fries! Yum! He taught me the recipe. 🙂 🍟

Hornsby: Heya! Guess what I'm making! Some french fries!

Saturday night is K.K. Slider night, so I checked out his show at the plaza. He played a song called K.K. Chorinho for me, Agent S, and Marina.

K.K.: Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. Chorinho?

Kapp’n took me out to a mysterious island, and it was summer there! There were summer shells on the beach, summer bugs out, and I even thought I saw a shark fin (even though it turned out to be a suckerfish). 😛 As I was yawning, I didn’t see a scorpion coming, and it attacked me…giving Kapp’n a scare in the process.

Kapp'n: Ah, have ye finally come to? Ye need to be mindful about scarin' me like that! It's bad fer me ticker!
~Kapp’n, he be scared, Kapp’n unprepared~

After that, I wrapped up my game to go take a nap. I guess Bones was right. Curses!

Tia’s Birthday

Today (November 18th) is Tia’s birthday! I attended her party and gave her a customized tea table as her birthday present. She really seemed to love it!

Tia: This is such an amazing gift!

Tia’s friend (and fellow elephant) Eloise was also in attendance. Happy birthday, Tia!

Eloise: Today is a day for celebration! It's Tia's birthday! Let's be sure to make it fabulous!

That earned me 1,000 Nook Miles for attending my 20th party. I have now completed the “Birthday Celebration” Nook Miles goal.

Birthday Celebration: Celebrating the birthday of a fellow resident is a wonderful thing. Nook Inc. will commemorate your bond with some party-favor Nook Miles.

When I got some coffee at the Roost, Brewster informed me that the flavor of coffee is at its peak when it’s served at 176.46 degrees.

Brewster: Flavor's at is peak when the coffee's served at 176.46 degrees...

Interestingly, this is not the same temperature that Brewster states in New Leaf. In that game, he said it was 175.32°. I guess perfection is a moving target. 😛

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in a theatrical outfit. She gave me a rose-print jacket as an example. I got my pirate outfit (and accessories) out of storage and put it on. Label loved the look, and she rewarded me with a Labelle coat. She’ll also be sending me two tailors tickets in the mail tomorrow.

Label: Amazing! I've never seen an outfit so perfectly coordinated!
