Festivale, Punching Punchy?

Festivale took place on Monday, and many of my villagers were hanging out at the plaza for the occasion. Rio said that she’s all about dancing and sparkling, so she felt that Festivale is basically made for her.

Rio: I'm all ABOUT dancing and sparkling and all that. This holiday is basically made for me, viva!

Even though other peppy villagers will repeat this dialogue as well, I feel like it’s especially true with Rio.

And of course, Pavé the dancing peacock was also there. Viva Festivale!

Pave: VIVA... FESTIVALE!

He wanted me to bring him feathers, three of a color at a time. I quickly caught three purple feathers, and I gave them to Pavé in exchange for a Festivale balloon lamp. I continued to catch feathers as I made my rounds, and I caught a couple of rainbow feathers as well. I ended up with about nine Festivale items, but I did not collect enough rainbow feathers to earn any additional Festivale floats this year.

My bank account balance reached 52 million bells, even though I did not sell my Festivale stuff. (I just put it into storage.)

Today, Ankha told me that she’d like to play in the snow like she did when she was young. She questioned why she should have to act her age now.

Ankha: Ooh, I want to play in the snow like I did when I was a little cat! Bah! Who says I have to act my age?!

Aren’t you like 3,000 years old, though? If you acted your age, you’d be dead.

Louie told me he had a fight with Punchy, which made me wonder if he punched Punchy or if Punchy punched him. 😉 But he asked me to deliver a gift to Punchy to smooth things over, and I agreed to help out. The gift was a jockey uniform, and he put it on right away. For a reward, he gave me the athletic jacket he was already wearing; he even said it was still warm.

Punchy: I bet it's still warm, oh banana!

I’m putting together a new New Horizons Moments video; look for it soon! 🙂

Sit Like an Egyptian

On Thursday, Croque the ugly mustached frog was camping at my campsite. Even though I was wearing a frog shirt, I had no interest in adopting this hideous creature.

Croque: You live here, right? If you have any recommendations for me while I'm here, lemme know, as if.
Here’s a recommendation: Leave.

Tonight, I found Ankha sitting on a bench. She asked if I was wanting to sit there too. Although technically, this was not an invitation.

Ankha: Oh my. Were you wanting to sit on the garden bench here, by any chance?

When I joined her on the bench, she didn’t exactly seem thrilled to have me there. 😛

Ankha seems to roll her eyes at Jeff's presence, as Jeff looks oblivious.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Polka for me and Agent S.

Static was visiting Punchy tonight, and he was impressed by his house. They both looked so cute, especially the looks on their faces. 🙂

Static: There was more personality in there than I knew what to do with! I had Punchy figured all wrong.

A couple of other quick notes about the last few days:

  • I helped Gulliver on Thursday, and he sent me a candy-skull mask yesterday.
  • Yesterday, Wisp gave me some stone tile (flooring).

See you all next time!

Ankha’s Photo

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and received a bunch of valentines in the mail from my villagers and Isabelle. So I ended up with a lot of heart-shaped bouquets and chocolate hearts. However, I forgot to get my hot chocolate from Brewster at the Roost.

I’ve been continuing to give Ankha gold rose wreaths lately. Not only are the gold roses a renewable crafting material, but they’re pretty valuable and won’t mess up Ankha’s house. At worst, she’ll replace the gold rose wreath on her door with an identical one. 😉 So it’s a good system, and my work paid off today: Ankha rewarded me with her photo!

Ankha: How can I thank you... Ah! Why don't you take this reward of Ankha's photo?

I put it in my house. Ankha’s favorite quote is “All that glitters is not gold.”

Behold Ankha's photo.
Behold!

Festivale is coming up on Monday, and some of my villagers are already talking about getting ready for the event. Static even mentioned getting out some spangly outfits! 😆

Static: And maybe clean my spangly outfits while I'm at it. They've done nothin' but gather dust since last Festivale...

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in some vacation clothes. That’s a theme I’ve always struggled with, so I searched my blog to see what worked for me before. I put on the top coat that Label gave me as an example, and I also added some soccer shorts, a skateboarding helmet, and Moccasin boots. I passed the fasion check, and Label gave me some Labelle shorts.

Label: Oh, wow! You've really captured the vacation look. Even the details are on point.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Sunday, Wisp gave me a dreamy hanging decoration.
  • Sasha gave me a retro coat for returning his lost item.
  • On Monday, Celeste gave me a large star fragment.

Even though this next thing is about the original GameCube game and not New Horizons, I posted a new video today that I’ve been working on for quite a while. It shows all 218 villager homes in that game, and a brief note about each one. For example, only one villager has an Arwing in their home, and one villager’s house is basically a public restroom with a bunch of toilets! I’ve put a lot of work into this video, and I’d appreciate if you could check it out. Thank you! 😊

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
