Pascal’s Duck Rant

Yesterday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and I was coincidentally dressed for the occasion (thanks to Label’s recent visit). But Animal Crossing’s pirate showed up a day late, as Gullivarrr was on shore today, looking for his communicator. I went diving and promptly found what he was looking for, so he’ll reward me with a gift in the mail tomorrow.

Gullivarrr: Ye saved me life! That's a debt that needs repayin', so I'll ship ye a fine reward soon--expedited! Arrr!

But while I was diving, I caught a scallop. That caused Pascal to pop up and demand it. He also told me some wise words about ducks. 🦆🦆🦆

Pascal: Anyone who tells you to get your ducks in a row has never met a duck. Maaan, they do not follow directions.

I found a lost item (a book) on the ground, and I returned it to its owner, Ketchup. She was glad to have her autograph book back, and she rewarded me with a skateboarding helmet.

Ketchup: BOOM! It's totally a skateboarding helmet!
BOOM? Did it just explode, or what?

I spotted a ghost twice in the past two days: Wisp gave me a porcelain vase on Sunday night, and an evergreen ash tonight.

Today marks two and a half years since the release of New Horizons. As I find myself spending less and less time with the game, I feel it’s time to reduce the frequency of blog entries a bit. (Although I still plan on playing the game daily.) There will now be a minimum of two new entries each week, instead of three.

So I’ll be back later in the week with more. Have a great day!

Her? Stunning Beauty?!

Rio was sick with a cold last night, so I crafted some medicine for her. She thanked me by giving me a bathrobe.

Rio: Thanks to you, Jeff, I'm on the road to no nose gunk.

Ketchup said she recently had a fight with Beardo (who hasn’t?), and she asked me to make a delivery to him. I agreed to help out, so I took him the folk shirt from the red duck. I was happy to see that it looked awful on him. 😂

Beardo: You know, I really let myself get carried away with Ketchup. She can be...a lot.
Yeah, I always pour too much ketchup too.

Beardo rewarded me with a pedal board.

Wisp was in town, and he gave me a brown diner wall after I returned his spirits to him.

Out on Lottie’s Island, I spotted Tabby. Is it Halloween already? She said the island would make a great album cover…including her stunning beauty. That’s no joke, she actually said that! Wow.

Tabby: This place would legit make the best album cover. Bright, sandy beaches... My stunning beauty...

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town for his Saturday night show. I told him I was feeling a bit blue, and he played Steep Hill for me. That’s one of my favorites!

K.K.: Feeling downbeat, huh? Well, let me lay that beat down, Steep Hill style.

Interestingly enough, the three villagers there with me were blue too. Literally.

See you all next time! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Label Me a Pirate

Lobo the blue wolf was camping at the campsite today. He even brought his own sandwich, although he didn’t offer me a bite.

Lobo, at the campsite: Heya! I'm just here to do some campin' for a spell. This sure is a nice island.

Label was in town tonight, and she wanted to see me in a theatrical outfit. She gave me a rose-print jacket as an example, but I already had something better in mind: I remembered that the pirate outfit works great for the theatrical theme, so I changed into it (including the beard).

Changing into the pirate suit.

As I tried to leave my house, another beard came in; it was Beardo. I just ran out the door to get rid of him. 😛

Beardo, in my face: Oh, are we headed over to my place now? Just kidding! I'll see myself out.
You are never welcome here.

When I returned to Label, she said the outfit was perfectly coordinated. She rewarded me with some Labelle pumps.

Label: And it all comes together in fashion perfection. Your taste is impeccable, Jeff.

After that, I climbed up a cliff to take a bath and wash my pirate booty. I almost got burned though, because that water was so warrrrrrm!

Pirate Jeff takes a hot bath.

See you all next time!
