Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Pascal popped up while I was diving on Sunday, and he lectured me about gravity…and apples. (He also gave me a pearl in exchange for my scallop.)

Wisp was hanging out later, and I found all of his spirits and returned them to him. He thanked me by giving me a meeting-room table.

Maybe we can sit around it with his recovered ghosts, and have some nice spirited discussions.

On Monday, Static questioned why I was wearing my suit of armor. He thought I was just trying to scare him.

I’m not trying to scare you, dude. The armor is for protection while I work the knight shift. He angrily told me to stop it, saying he wouldn’t be scared by my gothic flimflammery!

Actually, “zap nuts” are one hazard the suit insulates me from. No more shocking surprises down there. 😛

I visited Merengue today, and Static was also there. Merengue told me to come in and join Static…on a cake. So now I’m getting serial killer vibes from her, and I’m picturing me and Static on a cake in the oven, being baked alive, as Merengue laughs maniacally. 😛

At the campsite, I had a super good camper today: Kid Cat!

I’m generally reluctant to kick anyone out, but I wanted to at least see who he would replace if I did ask him to move in. Turns out, I’d have to give up Static. And I’m definitely not going to do that.

I like Kid Cat a lot, but not more than Static. Sorry, Kid Cat. Maybe we’ll meet again someday.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Sunday, I played a treasure hunt game with Agent S; I won a checkered sweater vest.
• Tuesday, I sold 21 bugs to Flick for 102,000 bells.
• Jolly Redd was in town today, and I bought a red cruiser bike from him.
• I returned lost bag to Rio, and she gave me athletic outfit.

Yesterday, I posted my latest video, New Horizons Moments #29. Here it is if you haven’t seen it yet:

I’ll see you next time. Never Stop Crossing!

On Monday, June was talking about how she takes good care of her hair. She used her catchphrase in a way that made perfect, logical sense.

Yesterday was Halloween, and I decided to participate this year (at least for a little bit). I put on a knight costume, and indoor villagers would give me additional candy.

Outdoor villagers however, would demand candy from me. But having a villager like June threaten me with a trick was more adorable than scary. 😆

She gave me a spooky table setting in return for the candy. But the villagers will occasionally give you a lollipop instead of spooky furniture (or pumpkins).

Eventually, I found Jack (the czar of Halloween) near the plaza. I gave him some candy, and he rewarded me with…his face. 🎃

When I gave him a lollipop, he gave me a spooky carriage. That’s a wheely nice reward!

Rio later gave me another lollipop, which I also gave to Jack. This time, he gave me a spooky wand…which is definitely less exciting than a carriage. I wrapped up my game for the night after that.

Tonight, it was raining in town, and Static seemed a bit agitated. That cranky old squirrel. 😆

Now that November is here, mushrooms can now be found around town. That includes rare mushrooms (worth 16,000 bells apiece), which can appear buried underground. I actually found two of them in town tonight!

Renee the rhino was camping at the campsite tonight. But I already have one rhino (one who is much sweeter), and I’m not looking for another.

I hit a new milestone at some point earlier this week, even though I didn’t notice it at the time. I’ve now saved up four million Nook Miles, and this is my current total:

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

• On Sunday, June was sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine, and she rewarded me with a basic school desk.
• I helped Wisp, and he gave me a hanging cube light.
• On Tuesday, I helped out Gulliver. He sent me another veil the next day. As for why he sends such awful rewards, I guess that’s veiled in mystery.
• Yesterday, a message bottle gave me a new DIY recipe, for a cute lily crown.

Have a great weekend, and Never Stop Crossing!

On Monday, Pascal shared some very logical thoughts about afterthoughts with me.

A frog named Raddle was camping up at the campsite. He appeared to be a doctor, and yet he was eating a donut. 🍩

Yesterday, I again encountered Pascal again while diving. This time, he told me to live my life one scallop at a time.

Today, there was another camper in town. I’m starting to notice a pattern with this blog entry: Pascal, camper, Pascal, camper. 😛 Ed the horse was today’s camper, and I played a quick card game with him. I guessed the suit of the card he picked, and my choice was correct!

So I won his coverall coat. Also, I should point out that this is the third time I’ve seen Ed camping in Forest!

At the plaza tonight, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Bashment for me, Louie, Agent S, Ankha, and Merengue.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Wednesday, I bought some impish wings from Kicks, and I put them on.
• Yesterday, I completed C.J.’s seasports challenge and then sold 19 fish to him for a total of 134,025 bells.
• Last night, I wished on a bunch of shooting stars. Today, I found 12 star fragments and 4 Scorpius fragments on the beach.
