On Sunday, Tia told me that she packs her own lunch every day, and she likes to draw funny faces on her apple. She said her dad used to do it, so she has continued the tradition. 😛 That’s such a cute story.

Wisp was in town, and I gathered up his spirits for him. In return, he gave me a yellow-striped wall. I think Agent S could feel Wisp’s presence, because she started talking about “ghosts and stuff.”

Yesterday, Tybalt told me he’s been thinking about moving away.

I took several minutes to think about it…and I eventually decided to let him go. I like him a lot, but he’s had a nice, 14-month stay in Forest.

I later ran into Tybalt again, having a conversation with Apple. It started out with Apple saying “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the cutest of us all?” Then Tybalt responded that he is the cutest. It was just like the conversation I heard between Apple and Louie before. But time time, it had a different ending! The jock (Tybalt, in this case) said he ate too much and apologized for being rude.

Apple congratulated him on his improv work. I was just happy to see a new ending to an old story. 😛

Today, I said goodbye to my buddy Tybalt. He told me he’s going to join the circus. 😀

He thinks he’s going to be the strong man. I didn’t have the heart to tell him he’s probably just going to be the tiger. 😛 But good luck to you, Tybalt!

I may do some island hopping tomorrow to hunt for a new villager. Or I could end up rolling the dice with a random move-in. We’ll see.

I posted a new video today, comparing the number of special characters in New Horizons and Wild World. Give it a watch if you’re interested!

Yesterday, I received my moving painting in the mail from Jolly Redd. I donated it to the museum, and Blathers confirmed that it was authentic. So I went into the art gallery, and I was surprised to find Louie there already, taking a long, hard look at it.

By the way, it’s good to see that villagers can be found in the museum again. I’ll need to keep that in mind the next time I can’t find someone.

Gulliver was in town yesterday, so I gathered up his phone pieces for him. And then today, I received my reward in the mail: It was a turban.

I found a depressed hamster named Rodney at the campsite today. He just looked sooo bored.

K.K. Slider was in town for his usual Saturday night show, and I asked him to play a random song. He performed K.K. Country for me, Apollo, Agent S, and Louie.

I found a lost item on the ground near Apple’s house, and it was a bag with a simple design. I asked Marina about it, and she said it look like Tia’s bag. So I took it over to Tia’s house and gave it to her. She thanked me for returning it, and she rewarded me with a basic teacher’s desk.

After that, I completed a few Nook Miles+ goals, and then wrapped up my night in Forest. I hope you’re all doing well.

Agent S asked me to play a treasure hunt game tonight, and I was up to the challenge. However, she only gave me three minutes to find the buried item, instead of the usual six.

I found a dig spot right away, and I thought it was about to be the quickest treasure hunt ever. But of course, it was just a fossil.

It ended up taking me about two minutes to find the item; it was next to Hornsby’s house.

I returned it to Agent S, and she gave me the contents: a V-neck sweater. (A V-neck sweater is “POP-STAR WILD?!”)

Hornsby told me a very interesting story today. He prefers riding in vehicles, because it’s easier than walking. But the last time he was on a plane, he was just enjoying chilling and watching the clouds go by. But then he started thinking that the clouds were cotton candy!

He wanted to eat them, so he actually tried to get out the door! 😮 Fortunately, he couldn’t figure out how to get the door open until the plane landed. So he’s not allowed on planes any more. Wow. That story escalated quickly.

Jolly Redd was in town, so I made sure to check out his art. He had a real jolly painting, a moving painting that I think was real, a fake wistful painting, and a scenic painting that I think was fake. I purchased the moving painting, so I think I’ll be donating it tomorrow.

Wisp was also on the island, and I gathered up his five spirits as I played. Once I found them all, I returned them to Wisp and he gave me an inflatable sofa.

See you all next time.
