Kabuki’s Big Moment

It was a dark, stormy night in Forest tonight. It was also La-Di-Day, and Benedict went on and on about how great his song was going to be.

Benedict: But if I add some sweet dance moves, Goldie is gonna be toast!

However, he neglected to actually perform his song for me…even though I spoke with him repeatedly. 😛

But when I visited Kabuki, he actually did sing his song for me. Admittedly, it wasn’t the best…but I was tired of my previous town tune, so I hired him anyway. He was so happy!

Kabuki: Whoa! No way, meooo-OH! No one has ever said they liked my singing before!

It was actually cute to see a big grump like Kabuki moved to tears. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen this side of him before.

Kabuki: I've been waiting my whole life for this moment!

I went to the Roost, and K.K. Slider performed one of my favorite songs: K.K. Faire.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Faire!

Margie was practically the only animal in town not obsessed with La-Di-Day. She just thanked me for being her friend. That was awfully nice of her.

Margie: Thanks for being my friend. You're always there for me, and I think that's great.

Flea Market Blues

Tom Nook informed me that he had a spotlight product today, and I got my hopes up. I have yet to see a painting for sale, despite unlocking spotlight products a year ago. But my hopes were again quickly dashed when I saw that a hi-fi stereo was the spotlight product.

A hi-fi stereo is available as the spotlight product at Nookington's.

It’s flea market day, so all the indoor villagers are trying to sell their belongings. When I entered Victoria’s house, she said that today she doesn’t even mind random people entering her house.

Victoria: On this day, I don't even mind random people walking around my house!
A random person? I thought I was your friend.

And when I told her I wasn’t interested in buying anything, she was not a happy camper.

Victoria: Whaaaaaaaaat?! SO uncool, sunshine! L-A-M-E! Lame, I ate it!

Down at the Roost, I felt like asking K.K. Slider for a sad song. But that’s not an option in this game, so I let him choose the song. But somehow, it seemed like he heard my unstated request; he obliged by playing K.K. Lament.

K.K. All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Lament!

I sold all three of today’s fossils, got bells from the money rock, harvested some fruit, and did a little fishing (catching mostly salmon). In all, I earned about 50,000 bells on the day.

Victoria Eats People

The last fireworks festival of the year will be held tomorrow, although I don’t plan on attending. But still, I thought it was cute when Goldie invited me to see the fireworks with her. She said we could get lost in the “‘splodiness” together. 🥺

Goldie: You should come with me. We'll get lost in the 'splodiness together!

Antonio was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him. It must’ve helped a lot, because he acted like Frankenstein’s monster being brought to life. 😂

Antonio: I live again! YESSSSSS!

I listened in on a conversation between Victoria and Goldie, and Victoria said she’d love to eat a mango cream patissier…

Victoria: I'd like to eat a mango cream patissier!

While Goldie admitted to liking sweets, she informed Victoria that patissier is a fancy word for a pastry chef!

Goldie: Victoria?! Patissier is a fancy word for...a pastry chef!

So Victoria eats people! You heard it here first! 😀

Goldie gave me a free night sky tee, and I took it over to Victoria (she had asked me for new clothes). She gladly accepted the shirt and rewarded me with 520 bells.

Since this is probably the last time I’ll be playing in August, I decided to do an extended bug-hunting (and fishing) session. I found a few good catches, like a scorpion, goliath beetle, hammerhead shark, and a rainbow stag.

I caught a rainbow stag!

There was also a tarantula that got away by vanishing into the water when I backed up to get my net out. But everything else was a 2,000-bell catch or less. My play session was an hour and ten minutes total, and I only earned 80,000 bells. My summer bug-hunts typically go much better in City Folk.

But still, I put my bells into my bank account so they can earn me some interest when the new month starts. While I was at town hall though, Phyllis had some dialogue for me. She said she feels like the pits, and I wasn’t helping. 😛

Phyllis: For some reason, I just feel like the pits lately! (And you're not helping!)

She was just upset at how Pete stands around acting perky all the time. 😛 She must prefer him to be a grouch all the time like her. 😛
