Littering, Burying, Seeking

On Sunday (July 23rd), I found a lost item on the ground. I returned it to its owner, Jeremiah. But he said it was just an empty bag!

Jeremiah: But it's just an empty bag. I gotta think of something to put inside it.

If his empty bag was on the ground, I’m pretty sure that’s just litter, not a “lost item.” πŸ˜› But he still gave me some stone tile to thank me for returning it.

On Tuesday, Rolf asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I’m not sure these things are worth the effort, but Rolf is one of my favorite villagers, so I agreed to help out.

Rolf: You've heard of time capsules, yes? You know, those things where you send a message to your future self?

Last night, I found Gulliver down on the beach. He was talking about tom yum kung and elephants, so I knew he was headed to Thailand. (If you’re ever in doubt, check my handy Gulliver guide.)

Gulliver: They make this really spicy, sour soup with shrimp in it! It's called tom yum kung!

Today, he sent me a tuk-tuk in the mail.

Cherry asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek tonight, and I agreed to play. She gave me 15 minutes to find her, Inkwell, and Aurora.

Cherry: Jeff, if you find all three of us within 15 minutes, you win!

In less than a minute, I found Aurora and Cherry, who both stayed near the plaza.

Cherry: Waaah! You scared me!

And in within another minute (or less), I found Inkwell hiding behind his own house. πŸ˜†

That was a really quick game! Cherry rewarded me with a tabletop game.

Molly asked me to deliver a gift to Inkwell, so I took over a painter’s tee. Inkwell couldn’t wait to try it on.

Inkwell: This is going on my bod right now!
He gave me a grape tee as thanks.

On June 25th, Jeremiah asked me to dig up his time capsule. So I grabbed my shovel, unearthed the container, and returned it to the blue frog.

Jeremiah: Woohoo! It's so good to see my time capsule again!

It had a bubble tee inside, and he rewarded me with…what else? The bubble tee, of course. 🫧

Last night, there was a meteor shower in the skies over Forest. So I wished on several shooting stars at various spots around town. 🌠

Jeremiah asked me to catch a red snapper for him, and I did just that. Fortunately, it didn’t take me more than a couple minutes. He ultimately rewarded me with a female mask. πŸ˜›

Jeremiah: It's a female mask!

Today, Wishy sent me a letter with a space console attached. That’s a pretty cool item, so I put it in storage. I didn’t want to sell it.

But when Cherry asked me for some new furniture, it occurred to me that I should give the space console to her. So I grabbed it out of storage and handed it over.

Cherry: Oh! A space console? Good call!

I was surprised, but very happy, when she gave me her picture in return!

Cherry: Heh heh... I hope you like your new Cherry's pic! Thanks for your help, in igloos!

I’ve been trying to earn her picture for over a year, so this is a big relief. Of course, Inkwell and Cube have been here even longer, and I’m still waiting for theirs too. πŸ˜› But this is a step in the right direction! I took her photo home and put it in my modern/emerald room, next to Lolly’s pic.

Her favorite quote on the back is “One dog barks at something; the rest bark at him.” You can’t go wrong with an astute observation and correct semicolon usage. πŸ˜‰
