Scarred Bones

Yesterday, Apple suggested playing a treasure hunt game. She gave me six minutes to find the buried item, but I didn’t even need one minute to track it down.

I dig up some treasure with 5:10 remaining on the timer.

I took it back to Apple, she gave me the item: a tiger-face tee dress.

Gulliver was washed up on the beach, so I woke him up and collected his phone parts for him.

I received my reward from him in the mail today; it was a nutcracker (a red one).

The July Bug-Off was held today, so I met up with Flick at the plaza to get it started. On my first run, I caught seven bugs (two of which were banded dragonflies!), which gave me a total of nine points.

On my second run, I scored 10 points. But more importantly, my all-time point total surpassed 300, so Flick will be sending me a prize in the mail tomorrow!

Flick: That means... Oh! Your total points from all the Bug-Offs now adds up to at least 300!

I played three more rounds, scoring 7 points, 11 points, and 12 points, respectively. I had 51 points in my pool, so I redeemed them for five prizes: two ladybug umbrellas, a spider doorplate, a toy centipede, and an artisanal bug cage.

When I visited Bones, he told me that he has a scar on his face from a tragic book accident. He was reading a popup book, and the castle foldout popped up and injured him. 😛

Bones: I opened it, and the castle foldout popped up. But I guess I wasn't holding the book far away enough...

Midge also had a book story for me today. She said she was reading a novel from the library (wait, since when does this island have a library?), and she found an odd note inside. The note said that balloons won’t pop from a mosquito bite.

Midge: I read the note. It said, Balloons won't break from a mosquito bite. Seriously weird, in the sky.

Midge was so perplexed by the note that she couldn’t concentrate on the book any more.

K.K. was a no-show in town tonight, thanks to the Bug-Off. But he should be around tomorrow instead. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
