Matt’s Party, Bug-Off

On Wednesday night, Matthew invited me over to a party he was hosting. Nicky, Jesse, and Jac were there initially, and we were later joined by Logan, Nami, and Sam.

What Matthew didn’t tell me, but told everyone else, was that it was a Splatoon-themed birthday party! Just about everyone else had a superhero mask to look like an Inkling, or in Jesse’s case, a soft-serve hat in reference to a recent Splatfest. The best I could do was to change into my frog outfit, so at least I was semi-aquatic. 😛

Squids...and a frog.

Over by the beach, we spotted a couple of ocean sunfish, apparently squishing a whale shark. 😛

We hung out with some of the villagers, including Chai. She balanced a tea cup on her head for us. 😉

It was a good par-tea trick.

I turned myself into a Korok, and Nami did as well. Then she fell into one of the many pits that were buried around town. 😛

Before the party ended, we took a group photo. Thanks for the good time, everyone! And happy birthday, Matt! 🎂

Back in my town, I helped out Gullivarrr. On Thursday, he sent me another pirate bandanna in the mail.

Yesterday, Ankha gave me a new nickname, and it’s one I don’t think I’ve seen before: Gold star! Seems appropriate, given her apparent love of gold. 😛

When I visited Static, I found my two favorite purple villagers hanging out together. 🙂

Static: Thanks for stoppin' by. I've got someone else over, but make yourself at home.

C.J. was in town, and I sold him 258,000 bells worth of fish. That included three Napoleonfish, which I’ve been seeing a lot of lately. (And I still have one in storage.)

Today, Beth invited me over to compete in the Bug-Off in her town, Cassia. Maple was there, and she said she was on fire…referring to her bug-catching skills.

Maple: Notice anything different about me today? Really? That's strange, 'cause I'm on fire, little bear!

Beth’s town is so heavily decorated that there didn’t seem to be many bugs spawning! Or at least, that’s my excuse for losing two out of our three battles (with the other one being a tie). 😛

I also sold the rest of my turnips in Cassia for 91 bells apiece, which was much higher than my own price.

Later on, I returned the favor and invited Beth over to Forest for the Bug-Off in my town. She again won two out of three rounds, but at least I won once. 😛

Bug-Off is over! Jeff: 4. Beth: 1.

At the end of the day, I checked with Flick to redeem my points. I had 66 points, and I used them to obtain a termite mound, a toy centipede, a bug wand, two spider doorplates, and an artisanal bug cage.

Due to the Bug-Off, there was no K.K. Slider concert tonight.
