Dreaming of Skellige

On Sunday, June gave me a bold aloha shirt.

June: Is it true that you've been looking for a bold aloha shirt?
No, but I know that won’t stop you from giving it to me.

Since she also wears similar tops (as a reference to her days as an original islander on GameCube), I decided to put it on and be like her. So I said goodbye to my “Zombies Ate My Neighbors” outfit. 😛

On Monday, Curlos the sheep was camping in town. He also camped here last summer too, but I’m still not interested in him.

Curlos: Hey, you're a local, right? The name's Curlos. Ha HA! That's how I laugh.

On Tuesday, Static was sick with a cold…so I gave him some medicine. In return, he gave me a dotted raincoat. (Not just a dot.) 😆

Static: I'm all better, thanks to you. So I'm hopin' you'll accept a small gift. It's a dot

Today, I made a brief dream visit to the town of Skellige (dream address 1941-3363-3462). It’s set in autumn, and it’s beautiful!

I even met my favorite ducky Molly there. 🥰

Molly: I hope you enjoy yourself during your stay. Maybe we'll run into each other again, quackidee.

While I didn’t explore the town fully, it was amazing from what I saw. It’s well worth a visit, so check it out for yourself if you’d like!

Great work on the town, Kayla!

Here are a few other quick notes about life back in Forest this week:

  • On Sunday, I asked Wisp for something expensive (for a change), and he gave me a fashionable royal dress.
  • Monday, I sold 20 fish (including three ocean sunfish that I’ve caught recently) to C.J. for 247,500 bells.
  • I helped out Gulliver on Wednesday, and he sent me another geisha wig Thursday.
  • Today, I sold Flick a total of 47 bugs for 363,750 bells. Nice haul!

See you all next time!

First Rainbow

Last Friday, I met Curt the bear, who was camping at the campsite.

Curt: Howdy! I'm just stakin' a claim for a bit, enjoyin' the campin' life. Be seein' you around, fuzzball!
He must not like the letter G.

I don’t particularly care for him (and I had him in City Folk last year), so there was no risk of me asking him to move in. He can curt-sy right on out of town for all I care. 😛

Gullivarrr was over on the beach, so I went diving to retrieve his phone parts. In return, he sent me a sea captain’s coat the next day.

The fishing tournament was held last weekend. I played just one round, catching six fish and scoring eight points.

C.J.: I am SO hyped!
It’s really not that exciting, man.

Afterwards, I redeemed 10 points for a fishing-rod stand.

On Tuesday, June complimented me on my skull shirt. She said she was going to turn into my biggest fan if I…”don’t stop that sort of thing?” I know what she was trying to say, but it kinda sounded awkward the way she worded it.

June: I'm going to turn into your biggest fan if you don't stop that sort of thing, in my hair.
…what?

Yesterday, I played a treasure hunt game with June. I found the buried treasure fairly quickly, and I won some octagonal glasses.

June: Some octagonal glasses!

Today, I saw a rainbow in Forest for the first time!

Seeing my first rainbow in Forest.

Well, to be honest, I wasn’t exactly sure it was a rainbow. The colors are so faint that it just looked like a circular cloud. But Merengue confirmed that it was indeed a rainbow.

Merengue: Jeff, did you see the rainbow too?

I must say that I’m pretty disappointed in the lack of color! Compare it to the rainbows on GameCube or in New Leaf, which had bright, vivid colors. But at least I finally got to see one in this game. 🌈

I found June in Nook’s Cranny, trying to decide if she wanted to buy a retro fan. Her catchphrase fit in quite well with her reasoning.

June: Seems like a good way to bring home that summer feeling, in my hair.

Tonight, I attended K.K. Slider’s concert, and he performed Lucky K.K. for me.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time!

Squirrel Birthdays

Last Tuesday (July 2nd) was Agent S’s birthday. I crafted her a matryoshka and customized it to be blue. I’m not entirely sure that she enjoyed the gift, but she thanked me regardless.

Agent S: Wow! I wasn't expecting you to get a matryoshka! Are you sure it's OK?
No, it opens up and sprays squirrel repellent. Of course it’s OK!

Bones was also at the party to help Agent S celebrate. He was looking sharp in his top hat. 🎩

Bones, in a top hat at Agent S's birthday party: I wanna have a birthday party just like this! With all my favorite foods, and my friends too!

The next day, I was happy to find that Agent S had displayed her new gift. Maybe the dolls can be mini-agents in training. 😛

Agent S walks near her blue matryoshka that I gave her for her birthday.

Last Thursday, June had a flea on her…so of course, I caught it for her. This gave her a good opportunity to use a catchphrase I gave her recently: “in my hair.”

June: Ack--a flea! I wondered why I was so itchy, in my hair.

On Sunday, Julian the unicorn was camping at the campsite (for the 2nd time). I had him in New Leaf before, and I like him…but I did not invite him to move in.

Julian, at the campsite: Ahoy. Julian is my name, and traveling, making mosaics, and dance are my passions three.

Yesterday was my other squirrel’s birthday, Static. I headed over to his party, where I also found Ankha helping him celebrate. I gave him a log bed that I crafted and customized, and he said it was one of the best gifts he has ever received. 🙂

Static, at his birthday party: Well, so I bolted, I didn't expect a log bed!

Happy birthday, old friend!

Today, C.J. was in town with a seasports challenge for me. It was freestyle day, so I just had to catch any five fish in a row without letting any get away. Easy enough. After I sold him my initial catches, I got 16 valuable fish from storage. He paid me 192k for them all.

C.J.: Oh, you got a whole school for me? All together that'll be... 192,000 bells. Deal?

Hear are a few other quick notes about the past week:

  • Last Tuesday, I helped out Gulliver. He sent me yet another sombrero in the mail.
  • On Saturday, K.K. performed K.K. Marathon (🥱) for me, Ketchup, Bob, Agent S, and Louie.
  • Flick was in town on Monday. I sold him 20 bugs for 146,250 bells.
  • Last night, Celeste was in town. She gave me a Cancer fragment.

That’s all I have for now, but of course I’ll be back again next week with another entry. Hope to see you then!
