3 Stars, 3rd FNF

Louie wanted to help out with Project K, so he gave me a garbage pail. 😛 I put it next to Marcel’s house.

Outside of town hall, I was surprised to run into Kicks. I guess I didn’t even realize he was in this game. He was selling shoes, socks, purses, and backpacks. I bought an extra-large backpack from him, and I put it on. It did not increase my pocket storage, though. 😛

I went inside of town hall to check on my town rating. Isabelle told me that Forest is now a 3-star island! ⭐⭐⭐

The best part is that K.K. Slider has taken notice of my island, and he’s going to show up tomorrow! Wow, that’s quicker than I was expecting!

I ran into Shari outside, and she taught me the “apologetic” reaction. It makes my character frown, close his eyes, and bow his head. I don’t think I’ll be adding this one to my reaction wheel.

Using the custom design app on my NookPhone, I designed a new pattern: It’s a pitfall seed. I also put it up as my new town flag. 😛

After that, I used a Nook Miles Ticket to visit another mystery island. I still have an empty house plot, so I thought I’d give it one more try to see if I found someone I liked. The island was the spiral-shaped one again, and Graham the hamster was there. He’s not bad, and I wouldn’t be upset if he was a random move-in… but he’s not someone I wanted to specifically ask to move to town either. So I didn’t invite him.

When I returned to Forest, I ran into Celeste on the beach. She gave me a recipe for a starry-sky wall, but it requires star fragments that I don’t have. The next time I have a meteor shower, I’m going to have to do lots of wishing.

At 10:00 p.m., I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Logan, Ros, Megan, Alex, Alex (yes, there were two Alexes), Jesse, and Marlie came over. I had a little something planned in the western part of town, so we grabbed some umbrellas and fluttered like leaves in the wind. 😉

Unfortunately, we all got disconnected shortly after that. I reopened, and as the 3rd person was re-joining, we got disconnected again.

So I tried again. Jesse, Ros, Patrick, Timo, Alex, Forge, and Alex joined. I had the sumo ring set up for a special 8-player round of sumo!

Forge ended up winning, and I felt good to get 3rd place. 😛 We only did one round of sumo, because even one round takes a minimum of 7 pitfall seeds! And I wanted to save a few for later…

We then had some fun running through my Bunny Day arches. Position your camera just right and it’s more entertaining than you might egg-spect.

Ros, Alex, and Jesse taught me how to spam emotions. I mean, reactions. From your wheel, press Y to see all of your reactions listed. Then press Y again to test each one. You can press it repeatedly to spam it quickly. Very helpful! Well, helpful in annoying people maybe, lol, but helpful all the same! 😀

On a couple of different occasions tonight, I managed to pitfall a couple of people. That includes Ros and Patrick here, when I pointed out where Tia was after some of my visitors said they hadn’t met her yet. 😀

There were some occasional shooting stars flying by, and I made sure to wish on a few of them.

We played some outdoor hide-and-seek, and Ros and Timo successfully stayed hidden from the two seekers for the duration of the game. Since it seemed to take too long, we tried museum tag next. But Patrick left before we started.

Alex was the seeker, and I suggested that anyone who is found retreat to the lobby. And the seeker will keep going until he finds everyone, or until a timer ran out. I was hiding behind a tree in the bug room, but it didn’t take Alex long to find me and a few others. As he was still seeking, Hayley joined in, and the timer ran out.

After a few minutes of confusion, it was suggested that everyone look for the last two remaining hiders, Ros and Jesse. I was actually the one that found Ros; she was using her hair color to blend in, down in the submarine room. Smart move!

Not far away, I also ran into Jesse!

Ros then left, and we decided to do one last round. It was suggested that we play zombie tag, where once we’re tagged, we become a zombie and also join the hunt for the remaining players. I asked who wanted to seek, and nobody volunteered, so I said I would seek and I went outside to count. Once I counted to ten, I asked someone to set a timer. They did, and then Forge announced that he was seeking? I’m not sure what that was all about, but I just went with it and became a hider…until I was found and became a zombie. 😛

After a short while, the timer went off, and I believe everyone was found…but it’s not always clear. Eight-player museum tag is honestly a bit confusing. Some were claiming they weren’t tagged, and it’s hard to keep straight who’s who, who’s hiding, who’s seeking…even though we did ultimately agree that seekers would wear hats. Personally, I’ve started to lose interest in museum tag already.

Just as I was about to end the session, Stacie joined in. I didn’t want to kick her out as soon as she got here, so I decided to stay on a bit longer. We took some group photos at a few locations around town.

Eventually, I ended the session. Thanks for coming, everyone! It was fun! 🙂 I’m going to try to get Wi-Fi Moments #3 up tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that.
