As of yesterday, the snow has all melted and spring is here (unofficially). I promptly went to Able Sisters to change my path from the blue icy bricks back to my usual green bricks.
When I ran into Rolf, he reminded me that I didn’t get the petition signatures in time. (Thanks.) So he told me to go ahead and throw away the paper.
Cube was apparently enjoying the rain, because he said he wanted to splash me!
Mira asked me for an apple, so I went out and picked one for her. She loved it!
She rewarded me with a bucket from her bucket stash. 🪣
Inkwell asked me for some furniture, and I briefly considered giving him the bucket. But I decided I should try to find something a bit nicer than a bucket for him. 😆 So I bought a swinging bench from Harv at the campground.
I took it over to Inkwell, and he loved it so much that he gave me his picture! After three and a half years, I finally earned it!
I took it home and put it on display. His favorite quote is “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
With that finally done, I decided to play the last level of Desert Island Escape. It seemed like a really big level, but I was making good progress. And then…it happened. The game froze. I try jiggling the controls, but nothing happened. After about five seconds of nothing, the game crashed. Not just Desert Island Escape, but New Leaf. My 3DS said it had to restart the whole system!
Of course, the worst part is that I didn’t save my game before starting Desert Island Escape. So I don’t have Inkwell’s pic any more!!! 😧
I re-bought the swinging bench, just in case it might work again. But I couldn’t get Inkwell to ask me for more furniture yet. Eventually, I gave Desert Island Escape another try, and I completed the final level. But that wasn’t much consolation after losing something I’ve been trying to get for 3.5 years. 😖
Today, Nintendo sent me a letter congratulating me on completing the advanced levels in Desert Island Escape, and another for completing all levels. Attached to the letters, I found an amiibo shelf and a good-luck charm. Even though the good-luck charm is a wall-mounted furniture item, it can be shown off like a fish or bug.
I pestered Inkwell again today, trying to get him to ask me for another favor. But no luck.
Anyway, I’m going to try to have one final Friday Night Forest before online play ends in April. It will likely be that first Friday in April, but check back in March for any final confirmation (or changes, if necessary). Update: It will probably be on March 29th.
According to Luna, my recent dream visitors were Max from Ezo and Maggie from Nimbus. Thanks for stopping by!
