Stretching Reactions Unlocked

Yesterday, Gullivarrr was in town, washed up on the beach. I helped out the fellow pirate by diving to retrieve his communicator.

Jeff the pirate speaks with Gullivarrr the pirate.

When I visited Admiral, I saw that he was wearing head bandages again! So apparently the bandages he gave me (back?) weren’t the only ones he had. Maybe he flies into windows so frequently that he keeps injuring his head.

Admiral: Careful where you're goin', OK?
You should take your own advice, Admiral Head Injury.

I made a snowman, and he warned me that even though it’s his birthday, he didn’t want any candles. Well… I didn’t exactly comply with his request. 😛

Snowboy, surrounded by flames: It's my birthday today! Cake sounds yummy, but...no candles, please.

I’ve earned enough NookLink points for another reward, and I chose to get Tom Nook’s photo. His favorite quote is “I’ll be there with bells on! Ho ho!” To me, it sounds like something Santa (or Jingle) would say.

This morning, I saw some mist forming just above the rivers! I don’t think I’ve noticed that before, but then again, I generally don’t play early in the morning.

Mist appears above the water of Forest's rivers.

Today, I participated in group stretching for the 50th time. Well, not the 50th time, but for the 50th day. That earned me 3,000 Nook Miles for completing the Stretch to Refresh achievement. But more importantly, I learned seven new reactions!

I could probably use these moves whenever I want... Yeah, I learned stretching reactions!

They are based on the stretches that you do during group stretching sessions. Here’s the list:

  • posture warm-up
  • arm circles
  • side bends
  • body twists
  • wide arm stretch
  • upper-body circles
  • jump
Four of the new seven stretching reactions.

Pretty cool! But I’m probably not going to participate in group stretches very often any more. After doing them over 50+ times in the last three and a half months, I’m a bit tired of them. And I don’t like how that once you start a session, you’re stuck in it for the full two minutes or so.

In the mail today, I received a sea captain’s coat from Gullivarrr and some ice flooring from the snowboy.

Admiral asked if he should change up his catchphrase, but I told him to stick with it…and let it linger.

Admiral: Is if I fart right for me, or do I need to change it up?

That’s all for today. Have you all unlocked the stretching reactions already? I know I could have done it weeks ago, but I haven’t done the stretching every day…even though I’ve been much better about drinking the coffee at the Roost. 😛
