Coach’s Sweaty Gym

Yesterday, I received my latest Nooklink reward, a Nook Inc. balloon. It’s in the shape of Nook’s leaf logo.

Even though you can carry it around, I decided to display it next to Nook’s Cranny.

Tonight, I went out to Lottie’s Island to work. Coach was looking for a vacation house, and he said it would be fun to roll a giant ball around!

That certainly piqued my curiosity, and I imagined something like Katamari Damacy. But in actuality, Coach just wanted a “track-meet training grounds.” One of the items he wanted to use was an exercise ball. Somehow, that’s not what I thought he meant by a giant ball.

Anyway, I wanted to make a track for him to run around on. But that was easier said than done, especially without the ability to use paths. So I just set up a bunch of cones that he can run circles around. I did use a checkered flag pattern as the finish line, but this was a pretty low-effort attempt…even by my designing standards.

Indoors, I was sure there would be a sporty floor to use for this project…or some other flooring with a running track on it. It just seems so mind-numbingly obvious. However, I was wrong…so I just used a backyard lawn. At least the stadium wall was available. Since the indoors couldn’t be the running track either, I just filled it with a variety of exercise equipment. (I also gave him a bed and a trophy case.)

But as I was about to finish up the job, Niko barged in. I wondered if I forgot to use one of the suggested items. But Niko just wanted to tell me a new feature related to polishing furniture. He told me that I can now use different effects, not just sparkly things.

I used the “dripdrip” feature to make all of the exercise equipment drip with Coach’s sweat. It’s really disgusting now. I think Niko may regret giving me this much power.

Lottie paid me 12,000 Poki for my work. I’ll see you all again soon!
