Rio vs. Rio

Yesterday, Rio was telling me about her pet stag beetle, which is also named Rio.

Rio: When I caught her, she pinched my hand and it hurt SO bad!
Her name is Rio, and she pinches on the hand.

Rio the beetle pinched Rio the ostrich, and Rio called Rio a jerk. 😆

Rio: Rio's kind of a jerk, but she has a sweet name, so maybe it'll make her sweet!

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in a theatrical outfit. She gave me a comedian’s outfit as an example, but I changed into my pirate outfit instead. She loved it, and she rewarded me with a Labelle knit shirt (and two tailor tickets, which she sent in the mail).

Label: ...A Labelle knit shirt, you see. It's from my brand. I'd love for you to have it.

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town, and I joined him right at 6:00 for his show. He performed Forest Life for me and Midge. Great song!

I found a scallop while diving, and Pascal popped up to talk about change…and dinner.

Pascal: Everything changes. Sometimes it's scary, sometimes it's a relief, and sometimes it means dinner's ready.

I gave him the scallop, and he gave me a pearl in return.

Blob, Grilling, Werefish

Poor Punchy was sick with a cold today, and he felt like a “total blob.” 😛

Punchy: My brain's foggy...legs are wibbly... head's all clogged up...I'm like the living definition of total blob.

So I bought some medicine for him, and he started to feel better. He rewarded me with a light-up flower crown.

Louie, Midge, and Ankha were grilling some vegetables in the plaza. The food smelled delicious, but they didn’t offer me any. 🙁

I caught an ocean sunfish, and that will probably be the last one I get before they go out of season this weekend. If you don’t have one to keep in storage, you only have a few days left!

Pippy the bunny was camping at the campsite. She’s nice, but I did not attempt to adopt her.

Pippy: Hi there! I'm Pippy, and I'm totes camping on your awesome island!

Ketchup was talking about the moonlight tonight, and I’m not sure if this dialogue was about the full moon coming up soon or not. But she was afraid of “werefish” and vampires coming out at night. 😛

Ketchup: the thing about all this moonlight is, you so have to watch out for all the werefish...and vampires!

When I saw this patchwork low table at Nook’s Cranny, I knew I just had to buy it for Bob. It’s colorful (and blocky), so it reminded me of the kiddie furniture that Bob loves throughout the series.

Tommy: Seems like you're interested in a patchwork low table.

Bob appreciated the gift, and he gave me a checkered sweater vest in return. One of these days, he’s going to give me his photo. Just not today.

Bob: Is this...for real? Am I really getting a patchwork low table?!

Visiting Farmington

Yesterday was Ankha’s birthday, and I attended her party; Midge was also there. But when I gave Ankha a gift, things got awkward in a hurry.

Ankha, at her birthday party: Ooh...this IS a bit awkward.

That’s because I gave her some golden dishes. And apparently, she already had some. Oops.

Ankha: I suppose you couldn't have known that I have some golden dishes already.

She said it was the thought that counts, and she tried to be nice about it, but I could tell she was disappointed. Oh well, I’m sure it wasn’t the first time she’s been disappointed in the past 3,000 years. 😛

Flick was in town, and I sold him 16 bugs for 105,750 bells. It would’ve been more, but I accidentally scared off a goliath beetle.

Today, I spoke with Agent S with a vaulting pole in my hands, and she had a whole bit of dialogue about a vaulting pole she owned before. It was called StickThing, and she sang me the whole jingle. 😆

Agent S: STICKTHING! StickThing Inc. is not liable for slivers, dampness, or mounting ennui about a StickThing-free life.

I headed over to Jesse’s town of Farmington tonight. I was the first guest to arrive, but we were soon joined by Nicky and Jac. But Jac spent a long time on “brb,” since he was eating. So he ended up eating dirt, and some fire too. 😛

Jac in a pit, and on fire.

Jesse had a pumpkin patch in his town, and it reminded me that I should decorate at least a small part of my town for Halloween as well.

After a while, Matthew also arrived in Farmington. Jesse had lots of food, and we all stuffed ourselves.

But I must have choked on something I ate, because I turned blue!

Or did I just hit a Wonder block?

After that, I died (or at least disconnected). When I rejoined everyone, we got some coffee at the Roost, and then we went over to the sumo ring. We started off with a 5-player match, and Nicky won. Congrats, Nicky!

After that, we had a few one-on-one battles, tournament style. Matt beat me, Jesse defeated Nicky, and then Jesse beat Matt for the championship. (Jac sat out because he was afk again.)

After some of us visited a few villagers, we went up to Jesse’s house. We played 1-2-Switch…by switching Switches on and off. Such a great game. 😉

We hung out in Jesse’s basement casino for a while. But when we tried to leave his house, we got stuck on black loading screens for several minutes. After that, I returned home for the night. But thanks for hosting, Jesse! And thanks to everyone who came, it was fun! I need to host my own party at some point…maybe in October if I ever finish my obstacle course. 😛
