DJ JEF

Gullivarrr sent me my reward today, and it was part of the pirate outfit. Unfortunately, it was a pirate dress. I wish the pirate costume was just regular clothing you could buy at the store. I hope no one was counting on wearing a pirate costume for Halloween, because I doubt many people will get the whole outfit in time.

At the shop, it looks we’ll still have to wait until tomorrow (October 1st) for all of the new Halloween/update stuff to arrive. But there was at least a ghost umbrella for sale, so I bought it. 😛

Up at Able Sisters, Sable had some dialogue thanking me for helping out Label.

Sable: Jeff, I just wanted to say thank you for always being there to help Label.
Sable: You've done so much for all three of us. Thank you from the roots of my quills.

Keaten thought up a new nickname for me, DJ JEF.

Keaton: Alright, brace yourself... It's DJ JEF! Pretty cool, right?
So I’m not jazzy?

Flick was in town, so I grabbed some bugs out of storage. I sold him 11 bugs, for a grand total of 98,250 bells.

Flick: Ahem. Can I offer you, say, 98,250 bells for the bunch of them?

At town hall, I decided to change up the exterior of my house for the Halloween season. My house will be mostly black for a while.

Black square mailbox.

That’s all for now, but I’ll be back with more tomorrow. See you then!

Gullivarrr’s Booty

Yesterday, Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in a work outfit.

Label: Now, I'd like you to show me a work outfit.

She gave me a staff uniform to use as an example, but I also grabbed a chef’s hat from out of storage. Even though they don’t necessarily match, they’re both considered work items, so it…worked. Labelle liked the outfit, and she gave me a Labelle cap.

Today, it was Gullivarrr that was in town…although I didn’t exactly have the most flattering angle to see this pirate’s booty.

Gullivarrr: Zzz... Ye call that a sea bass?
Not a sea bass…

I went diving in the ocean to find his communicator, and it showed up on my first dive. He’ll be sending me a reward in the mail tomorrow.

Keaton told me he was thinking of moving out of town, but I put a stop to his plans.

The latest update arrived tonight, and the latest version number is 1.5.0. Nintendo sent a letter thanking me for downloading the update, and they attached a Ring-Con to the letter. If you’re not familiar with the Ring-Con, it’s the accessory used in Nintendo’s “fitness adventure” game, Ring Fit Adventure.

The Ring-Con item in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I don’t think it’s particularly useful in New Horizons, but I’m sure someone out there will come up with a good use for it. 😛

Since it was already 10:00 by the time I played post-update, Nook’s Cranny was already closed. So I couldn’t check the shop for pumpkin seeds tonight…although they may not be available until October 1st anyway.

I didn’t receive any of the new DIY recipes either, even though I hung out for a while to watch for balloon presents. 😛 So this update doesn’t exactly have an immediate impact on the game, unless you were really dying to get that Ring-Con item for some reason. 😂 But I’ll be back with more soon.

Signs of Things to Come

Agent S told me she’s been reading comics lately, and one thriller in particular: Forehead Secrets. It’s about some foreheads figuring out which forehead “did the thing.” Hopefully they can put their heads together and solve the crimes.

Agent S: It's full of forehead-tingling suspense! Whose forehead did the thing? Which forehead will prove it?
Who comes up with stories like this? It’s a head-scratcher.

I cleaned up my town a bit today. I moved my gold roses to the beach, and I also organized some of my other flowers (as I continue to breed more orange windflowers and hyacinths). I also made additional pattern changes as I get ready for Halloween. Sudden Valley is now Death Valley, and D.K. Country is now Decay Country.

New signs for Death Valley (formerly Sudden Valley) and Decay Country (formerly D.K. Country).

I’ve updated my dream (address 6717-1633-3682) to reflect the latest changes.

K.K. Slider was in town today (bumped to Sunday because of the Bug-Off yesterday). I asked him for a random song, and he played Spring Blossoms for me, Apple, Keaton, and Tybalt. He must have his seasons mixed up. 😉

K.K.: Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little Spring Blossoms?

After the show, I just did a little Nook Miles grinding (not that I need the miles). I then wrapped up my game for now, although I might check back later tonight to see if Wisp is around. If I find him, I’ll update this entry. Otherwise, I’ll see you next time!
