Gothic Flimflammery

Pascal popped up while I was diving on Sunday, and he lectured me about gravity…and apples. (He also gave me a pearl in exchange for my scallop.)

Pascal: they say the apple didn't fall far from the tree, but where else was it gonna fall? Gravity calls the shots, maaan.
That’s a real down-to-earth view of the situation.

Wisp was hanging out later, and I found all of his spirits and returned them to him. He thanked me by giving me a meeting-room table.

Wisp: Here, have... a meeting-room table!

Maybe we can sit around it with his recovered ghosts, and have some nice spirited discussions.

On Monday, Static questioned why I was wearing my suit of armor. He thought I was just trying to scare him.

Static: Level with me, kiddo. You're only in that getup 'cause you're tryin' to scare me, right?

I’m not trying to scare you, dude. The armor is for protection while I work the knight shift. He angrily told me to stop it, saying he wouldn’t be scared by my gothic flimflammery!

Static: Well, quit it! I ain't gonna be scared by your gothic flimflammery. Not now, not ever, zap nuts!

Actually, “zap nuts” are one hazard the suit insulates me from. No more shocking surprises down there. 😛

I visited Merengue today, and Static was also there. Merengue told me to come in and join Static…on a cake. So now I’m getting serial killer vibes from her, and I’m picturing me and Static on a cake in the oven, being baked alive, as Merengue laughs maniacally. 😛

Merengue: Skippy, come in and join Static, on a cake!

At the campsite, I had a super good camper today: Kid Cat!

Kid Cat: Yo! How's it going? They call me Mega-Arm Kid Cat.

I’m generally reluctant to kick anyone out, but I wanted to at least see who he would replace if I did ask him to move in. Turns out, I’d have to give up Static. And I’m definitely not going to do that.

Kid Cat: Alright! The heat is on! Let me pitch an idea... Whaddays think of trading Static away for me?

I like Kid Cat a lot, but not more than Static. Sorry, Kid Cat. Maybe we’ll meet again someday.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Sunday, I played a treasure hunt game with Agent S; I won a checkered sweater vest.
  • Tuesday, I sold 21 bugs to Flick for 102,000 bells.
  • Jolly Redd was in town today, and I bought a red cruiser bike from him.
  • I returned lost bag to Rio, and she gave me athletic outfit.

Yesterday, I posted my latest video, New Horizons Moments #29. Here it is if you haven’t seen it yet:

I’ll see you next time. Never Stop Crossing!
