Jeff's New Horizons Blog

After helping Gulliver out yesterday, he sent me a katana in the mail today. It’s certainly better than most of the stuff he sends out.

I finally got to see the inside of Punchy’s house today. It’s a cute house, and he had Forest Life playing in here. 👍

At 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Beth and Xavier were the first to arrive, and they tried out my new vaulting pole race.

Beth won the first race. Next, I beat Xavier, and then I beat Beth. I may have home-court advantage though, so it’s probably not completely fair. 😉

Around 10:30, Nami and Jac also came over. They raced each other on my pole vaulting course too.

Jac won in a very close race.

We got to talking about the recently departed Beardo, and I dropped some bad news on them: One of them will likely get Beardo at some point. 😆

We played a 5-player round of sumo, and Xavier was victorious.

We all fell into the extra pits, and then Nami played tic-tac-toe against herself. (She didn’t win.) 😆

After that, we did some glitching around the bathtub. Beth did something I didn’t realize was even possible: She glitched off the cliff! So cool!

So I tried it too, and I eventually did it as well. I didn’t even break any bones during the fall.

I later had some fun with the King Tut mask and camera mode over at the moon-viewing area.

Shortly after midnight, Jac and Nami said they were going to leave. I decided to just wrap up the session for the night. Thanks to everyone who came! 🙂

I may post a video of the vaulting pole obstacle course within the next few days.

On Sunday night, I decided to use three Nook Miles Tickets to look for a new villager. If I didn’t find anyone good after that, I would take my chances and wait for Monday. The three potential villagers I encountered were Tucker, Queenie, and Cole.

I chose not to adopt any of them.

Yesterday, I found a “Sold” sign on the empty plot; Punchy the lazy cat is moving in.

I know he seems to be fairly popular, but he was never one of my favorites. He’s not bad, though. For a random move-in, I certainly could have done much worse.

Today, I went over to meet my new neighbor. Punchy told me he’s from Solstice, which is Timo’s town. Welcome to Forest! 🙂

Believe it or not, Punchy is the first cat villager I’ve had in Forest! Well at least the first house cat; I have had a couple of tigers.

As I ran by Rio and headed into the shop, she called out to me. But it was too late, I had already started the door-opening animation.

She was gone when I came back out, so I’ll never know what she wanted. 😛

Sasha told me the story of Cinderella, but he said the prince figured out who the slipper belonged to, because it smelled like Cinderella’s feet! I certainly didn’t remember that part of the story. 😆

Then Sasha revealed that the prince was a dog, and that’s how he tracked down her scent. 😛

Are you sure this is the story of Cinderella? Or is it Cindersmella?

Plucky was camping at the campsite…but I didn’t have a taste for chicken today. 😛

Just a note for people on my friend roster: I am planning on hosting Friday Night Forest this week! I should be opening at 10 p.m. Eastern time. (If plans should happen to change, I’ll edit this blog entry to say so.)

On Thursday, Ketchup was “dance crafting” to personify a stethoscope. Except her “dance” consisted of her standing completely still. Such skill.

Yesterday, I found Beardo with a thought bubble above his head. I spoke with him, and he wanted to leave Forest to pursue a new business idea. Awesome! Get outta here!

Today, he was all packed up and ready to move out! Finally!!

Fortunately, I got rid of him before he gave me his photo. I didn’t want to have to display that in my house anyway. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and I told him I was feeling a bit grumpy (despite Beardo’s exit). So he performed K.K. Bazaar for me, Ketchup, and Agent S.

I’ll have a vacancy in town tomorrow, but I’m not sure if I’ll go villager hunting. If I do, it probably won’t be more than a few attempts. But check back in a few days to see who moves in next!
