Birthday Party

Today was my character’s birthday, and Marina dragged me over to her house for my party. Ketchup and Bones were also there. Marina told me to blow out my birthday candles.

Marina: Just stand in front of your cake and press A, eight times.

I forgot that was Marina’s catchphrase though, so I really thought I had to press A eight times. And I did! πŸ˜‚

She gave me a present, which was a birthday hat. Next up on the agenda was beating a piΓ±ata. They encouraged me to go crazy until cupcakes spilled out of it.

Jeff bashes his birthday pinata until cupcakes fall out.

After the party, I gave some cupcakes to some of the villagers who weren’t at the party.

Agent S: Yay! A cupcake! This looks le super nom nom! Thanks a bunch of bunches, glitter!

In return, they gave me additional gifts, including a birthday cake from Agent S, some birthday candles from Hornsby, birthday shades from Apollo, and a birthday table from Louie.

Louie: YOU'RE giving ME a present? That's an awfully nice thing to do for your greatest rival!

K.K. Slider was in town for the second night in a row, and he played K.K. Birthday for me. During the song, several birthday notes appeared on-screen from some of my villagers and special characters. That was nice. πŸ™‚

A birthday message addressed to "Super Birthdayer tater tot" from Sasha.

Static and Beardo were also at the show, so I couldn’t give them cupcakes. Well I didn’t really care about Beardo anyway, but I would have at least given one to Static. πŸ˜›

One other note: Mom sent me her homemade cake in the mail.

See you all next time!

Ketchup on Everything

While enjoying some coffee in the Roost on Thursday, Blathers came in. He made the long walk (from the next room over) to get some coffee for himself. πŸ˜›

Blathers: This cafe has been a boon to our museum. It tickles my talons to see so many visitors among our exhibits!

I imagine he needs a lot of coffee, considering he works 24/7. β˜•

Yesterday, Beardo told me that when he was a child, he used to put ketchup on everything. Literally everything, even popcorn! Yuck!

Beardo: I used to put ketchup on everything. I mean EVERYTHING.
I’m just wondering if he had the same mustache and sideburns when he was a child. πŸ˜›

Gulliver was in town, so I collected his communicator parts for him. In return, he sent me a tubeteika (hat) in the mail today. I didn’t care for it, so I just sold it.

I also sold my 30 turnips for just 47 bells apiece today, for a total of 1,410 bells. That’s almost nothing, but I didn’t pay a cent for them anyway, so it’s no big deal.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed in the rain. He played K.K. Rally for me, Louie, Agent S, and Sasha.

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

My friend Beth recently drew me and all of my Forest villagers, except for Beardo (leaving him out was my request, haha). I think she did an amazing job, and I love the watercolor-style sky! Maybe Nintendo should make a special sky like that in future games. πŸ™‚ Watercolor Wednesdays or something. πŸ˜‚

Beth's art. Welcome to Forest.

Thank you very much, Beth! πŸ™‚ For those of you who have been around a while, you may remember she also drew my New Leaf villagers back in 2016.

See you all next time!

Ketchup’s Birthday

Ketchup’s birthday was today, and I made sure to attend her party. However, she probably wasn’t amused with her gift: more French fries. πŸ˜‚πŸŸ

Ketchup: Wow! You got me some french fries?! FAB! I bet it's deeeeee-licious!

Marina was also at the party, and she wanted to celebrate her friend eight times. πŸ˜›

Marina: It's so nice to be able to celebrate a friend together, eight times!
You could dip a fry in ketchup with each arm.

Ketchup said she was so happy that she might explode!

Ketchup: I'm so happy I might explode! Please promise you'll clean up if I explode?
Is that what happens on your expiration date?

If she did, there would be Ketchup everywhere. Literally.

When I visited Agent S, she was talking about how she feels when she first moves into a new house. She said it feels like someone else’s house at first, but eventually, it turns into home.

Agent S: But after a little while, like...it turns into HOME. It's warm and safe and your own little place in the world.

I know it’s just a coincidence that she’s saying this after I forced her to renovate her house, but it fits the situation. Hopefully she feels that way about her house now.

Celeste was in town for a meteor shower, and she gave me five star fragments. Static mentioned Celeste’s appearance in town, but his catchphrase made it sound like he was warning me not to question her about the stars. πŸ˜›

Static: So I guess Celeste is here, if you're lookin' for someone to explain the stars in the sky to you, I'll zap you.
