Into November

On Monday, June was talking about how she takes good care of her hair. She used her catchphrase in a way that made perfect, logical sense.

June: Then again, I do think of hair care as more science than simply style, in my hair!

Yesterday was Halloween, and I decided to participate this year (at least for a little bit). I put on a knight costume, and indoor villagers would give me additional candy.

Ketchup: Happy Halloweeeen! Time to get back to scaring--and GETTING scared! Anything can happen!

Outdoor villagers however, would demand candy from me. But having a villager like June threaten me with a trick was more adorable than scary. 😆

June: Trick or treat! Could I have some candy, please? If not, I'll play a trick on you, in my hair.

She gave me a spooky table setting in return for the candy. But the villagers will occasionally give you a lollipop instead of spooky furniture (or pumpkins).

Bones: Are you ready for something in return? It's...a lollipop! I guess you suckered me into giving you one!
And yes, I changed into a gold suit of armor. It’s not just rusted or anything. 😛

Eventually, I found Jack (the czar of Halloween) near the plaza. I gave him some candy, and he rewarded me with…his face. 🎃

Jack: Feast your eyes on the king-size prize! I bestow upon you Jack's face!
His face really lights up the room. Face it: He’s gourd-geous!

When I gave him a lollipop, he gave me a spooky carriage. That’s a wheely nice reward!

Rio later gave me another lollipop, which I also gave to Jack. This time, he gave me a spooky wand…which is definitely less exciting than a carriage. I wrapped up my game for the night after that.

Tonight, it was raining in town, and Static seemed a bit agitated. That cranky old squirrel. 😆

Static: I coulda told you it was gonna rain.

Now that November is here, mushrooms can now be found around town. That includes rare mushrooms (worth 16,000 bells apiece), which can appear buried underground. I actually found two of them in town tonight!

Look! I dug up a rare mushroom!

Renee the rhino was camping at the campsite tonight. But I already have one rhino (one who is much sweeter), and I’m not looking for another.

Renee: But here's a question... Is it always this awesome here? That's what I wanna know, yo yo yo!
No, no, no.
Now go, go, go.

I hit a new milestone at some point earlier this week, even though I didn’t notice it at the time. I’ve now saved up four million Nook Miles, and this is my current total:

4,016,200 Nook Miles

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

  • On Sunday, June was sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine, and she rewarded me with a basic school desk.
  • I helped Wisp, and he gave me a hanging cube light.
  • On Tuesday, I helped out Gulliver. He sent me another veil the next day. As for why he sends such awful rewards, I guess that’s veiled in mystery.
  • Yesterday, a message bottle gave me a new DIY recipe, for a cute lily crown.

Have a great weekend, and Never Stop Crossing!
