Short Pirate

Last Friday, Bones pinged me and gave me a free festive wreath. I decided to put it on my front door.

Bones: Anyway, I just really, really wanna give you this festive wreath. So I'm gonna. Riiight about...now!

I saw a reindeer outfit for sale at Able Sisters earlier this week, and I couldn’t resist buying it and putting it on. 🦌

Tuesday, I saw a tarantula run from Ankha’s feet to Ketchup! I got my net out and tried to catch it, but I accidentally hit Ketchup in the head! Oops!

Smacking Ketchup with a net, as a tarantula threatens me.

But to my surprise, the tarantula did not charge at me! I retreated a bit, and it actually let me! I was shocked! But I regained my composure and then caught the critter. 😛

Last night, Wisp was out floating around the island. I recovered his spirits for him, and he gave me a light-bulb sign for helping out. What a great idea. 💡

This morning, Gullivarrr was in town. So I helped him out by diving to retrieve his communicator. But when I gave it back to him, he was standing on the sand, and I was standing on the grass. So he looked much shorter than me. 😆 I guess my antlers made me look extra tall, too. 😛

Gullivarrr: ARRR! That's it! That's me precious communicator!

Bones wanted to play a treasure hunt game, and I was up for the challenge. He only gave me three minutes to find it, and he said it might be hard to find it in time. Except that the buried treasure was right next to the Resident Services plaza, and I found it instantly. 😆

I found treasure!

He gave me a gown coat for winning the game. I tried it on, but I decided to stay in my reindeer outfit. Oh, deer.

Just a little holiday update. I may be posting a new video this weekend, but I’m not sure if I’ll be playing the Toy Day event on Sunday night. (I will be playing in City Folk and New Leaf though, probably.) But there likely won’t be another ACNH blog entry until sometime next week. So I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays in the meantime! 🎄

Campers, Tune, Snowman

On Sunday, Kitt the kangaroo was camping at the campsite. She was a villager I had in my GameCube town in the early days, so we go way back. But I wasn’t interested in having her here. 😛

Kitt: You're so lucky to live here! I know I want to make the most of my visit.

On Tuesday, I made a new town tune for the first time in a long time. It’s the banana fairy theme from Donkey Kong 64.

My town tune for the banana fairy theme from Donkey Kong 64.

If you’d like to hear how it sounds in-game, try this:

Snow now covers the island, and I rolled up my first snowboy of the season on Tuesday.

Snowboy: I...I can't believe it! You got everything right!

He sent me a frozen-treat set in the mail.

Yesterday, I had another camper: Chabwick the penguin. Even though he certainly would fit in the snow outside now, I did not invite him to town.

Chabwick: I'm on a camping trip, trying to meet good food.

I ran into Pascal while diving, and he was talking about a tail wagging a dog. It must be a strong tail.

Pascal: You ever heard of the tail wagging the dog? There's no way, maaan. I've done the math.

Today, Louie told me he was going to go to my house for a surprise visit. But I don’t like surprises, so I cancelled his plans for him.

Louie: Oooooh, denied. I get it, I get it. Maybe my timing is off.

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

  • Last Friday, Gullivarrr sent me a pirate beard in the mail.
  • I sold over 575k worth of fish to C.J. the same day.
  • On Sunday, my savings balance reached 74 million bells.
  • I helped Gulliver on Tuesday, and he sent me a Dala horse.
  • Yesterday, I sold over 180k worth of bugs to Flick.

See you next time!

First Snow

Last Friday, I found a lost item on the ground, and Midge told me it belonged to Bob. She said he was looking for it in the sky!

Midge: Come to think of it, I did hear Bob was looking for a lost item, in the sky...

That made me picture Bob in a hot-air balloon, looking into treetops for his book. 😛 When I returned it to him, he rewarded me with a samurai hakama (an outfit).

On Monday, Poncho the jock bear cub was camping at the campsite. He just moved out of my City Folk town last month, so I guess this is where he ended up. 😉 But I did not ask him to move to my island.

Poncho, at the campsite: Anyway, thanks for hosting me. This place is awesome!

Yesterday, I ran into Pascal while diving. He told me that someone said his shirt was inside-out, and he explained that he dresses for himself, not others.

Pascal: Folks kept tellin' me my shirt was on inside out the other day, but maaan, I was dressin' for me, not for them.

But the odd part is that he doesn’t even wear a shirt! (So what exactly was inside-out?) 😛

Xavier told me that his shop was buying turnips for 456 bells! 😲 The bad news is that I didn’t buy any turnips from Daisy Mae this week! 😔 But I did have a measly 30 turnips from a hospital visit on Monday…and that alone gave me almost 14k! Thanks, Xavier!

Timmy: 30 turnips! Sure! How about if I offer you 13,680 bells?

And today, I saw the first snowflakes of the season! I’m not mentally prepared for winter yet. 😛

Snowflakes fall outside of the Forest museum.

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

  • I learned a new DIY recipe last week, for a dark tulip crown.
  • Last Friday, my savings balance reached 73 million bells.
  • Wisp gave me some kung-fu pants on Sunday.
  • I recovered Gullivarrr’s phone today. He’ll send me a reward tomorrow.

I posted a new video today, taking a look at some of the feel-good dialogue throughout the series. It’s basically the opposite of the “Rudeness” videos. Take a look!
