Visiting Onett

On Sunday, Queenie was camping over at the campsite. I have her in my City Folk town, and she has grown on me, but I didn’t invite her to move in here.

Queenie: Well, you're not a shy one, are you? My name's Queenie. How kind of you to stop by.

Dodo Airlines sent me a surprise gift in the mail, a DAL model plane! I thought it would make a good exhibit at my Animal Crossing museum castle, to represent New Horizons.

Gulliver was down on the beach yesterday, and I retrieved his phone parts for him. He sent me a sombrero today.

When I went in my house to get something out of storage, Bones barged in. Since he’s one of my favorites, I didn’t want to kick him out. After we played a card game, he plopped down on my gaming chair for a bit. 😛

Alec invited me over to his town of Onett for a scavenger hunt he made. He posted five rhyming clues on his bulletin board.

Near the campsite, water falls. That is where your present calls.

As I searched around town for each item, I couldn’t help but notice how familiar his town looks. He said he took inspiration from my town, but… I guess I didn’t realize the extent of that inspiration. 😂

A recreation of Peach Park.
A Peach Park lookalike!

He even has an Animal Crossing museum in a castle like mine.

After I found all of the items, we played a few rounds of sumo. I won most of them, but we had one really close one where I kinda lagged out of the ring but then we both ended up in pits anyway. 😛

After that, we played a couple rounds of museum tag (we each hid once). We then got some coffee before I returned home to Forest.

Head in the Game

Yesterday, I received a letter from Gullivarrr in the mail. He sent me another pair of pirate boots, although I think they’re both made for right feet. That’s because neither one says “L,” but they both say “Arrrrrr.” (sorry) 😛

Tonight, I found Bones sitting on a bench in Peach Park. He was enjoying a rainbow soft serve cone, and talking about TV shows. He doesn’t like the exercise shows. 😛

Bones: You got news, talk shows, movies, dramas... Exercise shows too, but I always change the channel on those.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and I asked him for a random song. He performed K.K. Song for me and Static. As I’ve mentioned before, that is not my favorite song.

K.K. performs for Static and Jeff.

The Nook Miles+ app had a 5x bonus for diving, so I put my wet suit on and went swimming. My 2nd catch was a scallop, and Pascal popped up to ask for it. I let him have it, and he told me his thoughts on “getting your head in the game.”

Pascal: They say you need to get your head in the game, but seems to me that's leaving a lotta limbs on the bench...
Maybe the price of admission is an arm and a leg.

He gave me a pearl in exchange for the scallop.

Not much else was going on tonight, but I’ll see you all next time. Have a good night. 🌙

First Fight with Sasha

Yesterday, I was surprised to get a call from Harvey, of all people.

Harvey, on the phone: Hello...? Oh, hey, it's Harvey. I'm calling on the phone part of your phone.
Oh, is there such a thing? Why can’t I make calls?

He was calling to remind me that it’s wedding season, and I can take photos with Reese and Cyrus out on Harvey’s Island. I instantly lost interest. 😂

Over at Able Sisters, I couldn’t resist buying this tough helmet.

Jeff tries on a tough helmet at Able Sisters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

It reminded me of the “Bully” enemies in the Mario series.

A Bully from Super Mario 64.

Dora the mouse was camping at the campsite. She’s cute (especially for a mouse), but I did not invite her to town.

Dora, at the campsite: Hi, are you a resident? Seems like a great place to live, squeaky.

I looked so menacing coming out of the tent with this helmet on. 😂

My helmet emerges from the tent.
WHO’S THAT POKEMON?

When I went out to Harv’s Island, Harvey introduced me to Reese, as if I don’t see her every day. 🙄

Harvey: OK, so this here si Reese...
O RLY?

I was then forced inside of Harv’s house so he could tell me about the wedding photos. They should really update this now that Reese & Cyrus already have another role and can be seen daily. The weirdest part is that when you go outside, they’re outside at their normal customization stand too! So there are apparently two Reeses and two Cyruses.

Gullivarrr was in town today, and I went diving to retrieve his communicator for him. I also caught my first shark of the season: a whale shark. Nice!

Sasha asked me to make a delivery to Ketchup, and I agreed to help out. But first, I went to the shop. The Nooklings were paying 108 bells for turnips, so I sold my free turnips from Joan for 5,400 bells.

I noticed a package in my pockets, and I was thinking it was from a balloon present I shot down. But then I realized I just opened Ketchup’s gift from Sasha! Oops! Ketchup didn’t seem to mind (or even notice) that the gift was unwrapped, but Sasha sure did! He was not happy!

Sasha: You...OPENED IT? Why would-- I mean-- You just-- You handed over an open present?!
You’re welcome.

Maybe your wrapping should look a bit nicer than the random presents that literally fall from the sky, and I would have noticed!

Sasha had to keep repeating that he was trying to find his happy place (presumably to keep himself from fighting me), and I thought that was rude. I did him a favor! Deliver it yourself next time, jerk!

Hitting Sasha with a net.

Or maybe this helmet really did turn me into a Bully. 😉

Wisp was in town, and I gathered up his spirits for him. In return, he gave me a small cafe table. And later, I spotted Apple out on Lottie’s Island; she didn’t recognize me. 🙁
