Sparkle Bestie?

On Monday, my bank account balance reached 45 million bells.

Savings Balance: 45,000,000 bells

When I visited Beardo yesterday, I was surprised to find Marina there as well. Beardo said he brought me and Marina over for a reason. I think he was trying to set us up! 😂

Beardo: Yo, Jeff! Have you met Marina? I've brought you two here for a reason...

But then he said the reason was just to hang out and have fun. Suuuuure. 😛

Wisp was in town last night, and I helped him out by fetching his spirits for him. In return, he gave me some modern wood flooring.

Tonight, Rio had a request that seemed straight out of New Leaf. She said a package intended for Marina was accidentally delivered to her, and she wanted me to take it over to Marina.

Rio: Ohmigosh, listen to this! A package for Marina accidentally got delivered to me!
That mail carrier should get fired! If we actually had one, that is.

Marina told me I could guess if the package contained clothing or furniture. If I guessed right, I could keep it. (Who does this with something they just ordered?)

Marina: If you're right, I'll give you whatever's in here.

Even though I figured clothing was more likely, I don’t really even care about getting a new shirt, so I guessed furniture. I was wrong, so I got nothing.

When I returned to Rio, she didn’t give me a reward either. That’s how these things work out in New Leaf, too. If you guess wrong, you get no reward…even though you still went out of your way to complete a request.

But Rio did call me her bestie, and she even “promoted” me to “Sparkle Bestie, first class.” She even announced it in front of Agent S, who was visiting at the time! 😛

Rio: You are soooo my bestie that I'm promoting you to Sparkle Bestie, first class!

The fishing tournament is coming up on Saturday. I’m not sure if I’ll participate or not, but I’ll probably post a new blog entry that day regardless. Hope to see you then!

Spooky Cookies

On Wednesday, Gulliver sent me a sombrero in the mail. Flick was in town, and I grabbed 20 bugs out of storage; he paid me 187,500 bells for them all.

On Thursday, Able Sisters had this blue and black top hat. I decided to buy it and put it on.

Yesterday, Wisp was up on the small cliff I made for background waterfalls behind the sumo ring. I had to use my ladder to climb up the back of the structure just to talk to him. 😂

After I retrieved his spirits for him, he gave me a capsule-toy machine.

October started today, and Nook’s Cranny has some Halloween decorations up. They’ve also started selling spooky items. But one change caught me off-guard: Marina gave me a new recipe for spooky cookies!

Marina: Teehee, I'm making my specialty! It's spooky cookies.

I was thinking the salmon recipes from last month were probably the last recipes we’d get from last year’s Version 2.0 update, so this was a nice surprise. 🎃 You need one pumpkin of each color to make the cookies, along with some flour.

K.K. Slider was at the plaza tonight, and I asked him for a random song. He played Bubblegum K.K. for me and Ketchup.

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

Even though I was originally planning to have my obstacle course done in September, that has not happened. In fact, I haven’t even really worked on it at all yet…oops. 😛 I just haven’t had the motivation for it, to be honest. So I have no idea when it’ll be done. Just don’t expect it anytime soon.

Anyway, I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend. See you all next time!

Beardo’s Birthday

On Sunday night, K.K. Slider was in town. He played K.K. Lovers for me and Bones.

K.K. Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. Lovers?
Wait, we’re just friends… 😋

Today is Beardo’s birthday, so I headed over to the recycle box at Resident Services to look for some trash to give him. When I made it to Beardo’s party, I was disappointed to see Static there. He was saying “Go, go, Beardo,” but he didn’t mean it the same way that I would. 😛 He was actually cheering him on, which I could never do.

Static: Go, go, Beardo!

Beardo asked for a present, and I gave him an empty can. However, he thought it was a joke! He laughed, and then handed it back to me.

Beardo: Ha HA! Now this is funny. You did mean for it to be a joke, right?
I can assure you it’s no joke.

So I again had to choose a gift for him. Fortunately, I brought a backup: a cardboard box. 📦 He actually seemed to like it!

Beardo: Hey, I won't say no to a cardboard box.
I ship it.

When I spoke with Static again, he seemed more relatable this time. He admitted it was a struggle to get through a party with Beardo like this. He was glad I showed up to help make it through. 😛

Static: Parties like this can be a struggle for me to get through, sometimes. I'm glad you were here with me.

After the party, I visited Rio. She was shocked to see I had a sea bass in my pockets.

Rio: A sea bass?! GET! OUT!

But she wasn’t telling me to leave, she was letting me know she wanted the sea bass! She offered me 600 bells for it, and I gladly agreed to sell it.

I found both Celeste and Gulliver on the island tonight. Celeste gave me a large star fragment, while Gulliver promised to send me a gift in the mail (after I recovered his phone parts).

See you all next time!
