Purification Fee

On Monday, Rio told me that she recently had an argument with Agent S. So she asked me to deliver a gift to smooth things over. I hopped over to the squirrel’s house and handed over the present. It was a metal can, which seemed a bit minimalist (to put it nicely).

Agent S: A metal can! Are you even SEEING this color? It's amaze-tastic!

Her response seemed a little too enthusiastic for just a can, so I wondered if she was being sarcastic. Her next bit of dialogue also seemed to indicate that she knows the gift was junk. 😆

Agent S: Rio is the best! She knows me so well, it's almost like she goes through my garbage.

Tuesday was October 1st, and we’re now headed into Halloween season. Jack (the czar of Halloween) sent me a letter reminding me to prepare for the event. He also sent me his portrait.

Candy is now available at Nook’s Cranny (along with spooky furniture), and the shop has also started decorating for the holiday.

On Thursday, Ed the horse was camping over at the campsite. This is the 2nd time he has camped here (the first time was in November 2023).

Ed, camping at the campsite: Hey, you're a local, right? The name's Ed.

Tonight, I went over to the plaza for K.K. Slider’s concert. June, Louie, Rio, and Agent S joined me for a performance of “K.K. Reggae.” After the show, Agent S told me the best thing about autumn:

Agent S: Fall fashion, duh! It's the one time all year I can wear my It's Fall Y'all! sweatshirt and not get funny looks!
I would still give you funny looks for that. 😛

Next, I flew out to Harv’s island, where I paid Katrina 1,000 bells to tell my fortune.

Katrina: A tummy rumbles... A restroom calls... Perhaps you've eaten a little too much?

She told me that my health will diminish!

Katrina: From this vision, I deduce that your luck with health...will diminish...

She insisted that something unfortunate might happen today, but fortunately she knew how to purify me. 😛 For a fee, of course.

Katrina: Let me see... Shall I purify you for... 10,000 bells?

I agreed to it, because I thought she might give me a rare item or something. She told me to close my eyes, while she let out a scream.

Katrina, looking into her glowing crystal ball: YEEeeeeee!

…and that was it. She said I’d be fine now. I didn’t even get a lucky hat out of it. 😛 Oh well.

Katrina: Now you should be fine.

After that bit of excitement, I wrapped up my game for the night. But here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • Last Sunday, K.K. performed Hypno K.K. for me, Ankha, Merengue, and Bob.
  • I helped out Gullivarrr on Monday, and he sent me a sea captain’s coat on Tuesday.
  • Yesterday, I shot down a balloon present that contained 30,000 bells. Those are pretty rare, but always a pleasant surprise! 💰

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you next time!

  1. She mails the “rewards” (for lack of a better term); you should receive a letter with the gift attached the next day.

  2. The last time someone asked me to give them a large sum of money to “purify” me because something unfortunate might happen I changed the channel.
