Sasha in Disguise

Label was in town yesterday, and I decided to speak with her…since I’ve been ignoring her the last three or four times she has visited. 😛 She wanted to see me in a theatrical outfit, and that’s a pretty easy one for me. I remembered that I can simply wear my pirate outfit to pass the fashion check, so I headed home to change.

Immediately after changing into my pirate suit, a visitor came over (of course). It was Bones; he wanted to chat and play a card game and…taste me?

Bones: Wow! I was wondering what your decorating tasted like... Uh, I mean, I bet you taste good! Er, hang on...

He then corrected himself to say he wanted to eat my D.I.Y. workbench. Ah, I see. That’s much more logical. 🙄

Bones: What I really mean is I wanna eat your mini DIY workbench!

After he eventually left, I went back over to Label. She loved my pirate look, and she gave me some Labelle shorts.

My nice painting from Jolly Redd arrived in the mail, and I took it up to the museum. It is the real deal! Nice! 😉

Sasha seemed to be wearing a disguise today! I barely recognized him. 😛

Sasha: I used to want to be a pirate, too, but then I learned some more about them... It was disappointing.
Don’t disrespect pirates. 🏴‍☠️

I visited Admiral today, and he was standing in front of his fan…even though it’s the middle of winter! But yeah, this is what the inside of his house looks like.

Admiral stands by a fan inside his house.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed K.K. Samba for me and Agent S. That was not a new song, so I’ve apparently acquired all of his new songs now.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Not Dead, in 2022

Yesterday, I went to Lottie’s Island to do some work. I found my former New Leaf resident Vivian there, and she wanted “a gym to dance it out.” As for the outdoors, I gave her some coconut trees, a climbing wall, a yoga mat, and an exercise ball.

The outside of Vivian's vacation house.

Indoors, I used a club wall and club flooring, and a variety of exercise equipment. She can exercise, dance, watch TV…or take a nap.

She enjoyed her new vacation home, and Lottie gave me another 6,000 Poki. On the way back to the plane, I spoke with Niko, and he found a message bottle!

Niko: Check out this bottle! I was just walking along the beach, and then... BOOM! Free bottle!

He gave it to me, even though he didn’t know what it was. He wasn’t even familiar with D.I.Y. crafting, but I found a recipe for a glowing-moss stool inside the bottle.

Back in Forest, I went diving and found a scallop. Pascal popped up to ask for it, and he told me that there are two kinds of things in this world:

Pascal: There are two kinds of things: stuff that is an apple, and stuff that is not an apple, maaan.

He then gave me a pearl in exchange for the scallop. I later found Wisp in town. Once I returned his spirits to him, he gave me a milk-glass lamp.

Today, Sasha was sick with a cold. I crafted some medicine for him, and he gave me an ice-hockey uniform.

I listened in on a conversation between Agent S and Admiral, and the squirrel told the bird that she was dying…and then dead.

Agent S: I am--for totally def literally--dying. I am dead, in 2022!
…but not really, right?

Admiral said he was confused by Agent’s use of slang. But oddly enough, he was actually referring to the “in 2022” part. But Agent S somehow talked him into using the catchphrase too. 🤷‍♀️

Nook Shopping had a yacht for sale today, at a steep price of 260,000 bells. I bought it anyway, even though I’m not exactly sure how I’ll use it just yet.

Yacht: 260,000 bells.
Where once there was a yacht,
now it has been bought!

Jolly Redd’s ship was in town today, and he had a nice painting for sale. It was the first time I’ve seen the nice painting for sale in this game, so I bought it. It will arrive in the mail tomorrow.

Admiral Arrives

On Sunday, I grabbed some Nook Miles Tickets and started visiting some mystery islands to hunt for a new villager. I decided I would try five times and then give up for the night. The first three islands had Cobb the pig, Tipper the cow, and Pinky the bear. I was not interested in them, but I was tempted by Mint on the 4th island…

Mint: Anyhoo, I'm Mint. It's a pleasure to meet you, Jeff.

I do like Mint, even though she’s not quite in my top tier of villagers. I considered asking her to move in, but I didn’t pull the trigger. I already have two squirrels in Forest (Agent S and Static), and I thought having three squirrels around might drive me nuts. 🥜

The 5th island had O’Hare the rabbit, which was an easy “no” for me. I was tired and didn’t feel like searching any more, so I decided to take my chances and wrap up my game for the night.

Yesterday, I was a bit disappointed to see a “sold” sign on Apple’s old plot. I really don’t like how the game usually only gives us one day to find a new villager. But I checked the sign and saw that Admiral was moving in. I don’t particularly like him, but I don’t particularly dislike him either. Still, it is a bit disappointing to think that I could’ve had Mint instead. Oh well, that’s the risk I took.

Anyway, I noticed that the megaphone and football rug are now available again as seasonal items (for the Super Bowl coming up next month). They can be ordered through February 15th.

At the campsite, I found the old man from Breath of the Wild! 😮 Actually, it was Lionel the lion. But either way, I wasn’t interested. 😛

“I’ve lived at this campsite for 100 years…in spirit form.”

Today (January 18th) is the day that Admiral moved in. I went inside to welcome him to Forest.

Admiral: Hey, you! How are you doing? The name's Admiral. I got a real important question for you.

He wondered how he ended up on an island called Forest instead of Columbia. That means he apparently came from William’s town.

I spoke with Bones near the airport, and he wondered what I was doing near the “plane station.” 😛

Bones: Hey, buddy! Whaddaya doin' here at the plane station?

He was hoping that I had a friend coming over to bring snacks. Sorry, Bones. Not today.
