Octopus in a Swimsuit?

On Sunday, I found a lost item on the beach. I soon returned it to Inkwell, who said it was his swimsuit bag! But does an octopus really need a swimsuit?

He said he must have dropped it on his way back from swimming, in ink.

For returning the bag, he rewarded me with a kiddie bureau.

I later found the gem rock, which spit out eight pieces of ore.

Even though New Horizons has iron nuggets and gold nuggets, I miss the colorful variety of gems you can get in New Leaf.

Cube asked me to play a game of hide and seek, and he gave me ten minutes to find him, Boots, and Inkwell. It didn’t take me long to find Inkwell, hiding behind Cube’s house.

About 45 seconds later, I found Cube behind Rolf’s house.

And shortly after that, I found Boots behind the instrument shelter. Hide and seek games seem easier in New Leaf than they are in City Folk.

Cube gave me some kitchen tile (flooring) as my prize for winning the game.

At the drive-in campground, Harvey was feeding the birds! New Leaf has so many cute details like this.

Yesterday, Mira offered me a free Mouth of Truth.

That sounds like a nice thing initially, but then I realized this was the Mouth of Truth I gave her a few months back. We’re just bouncing it back and forth like a giant volleyball.

Meanwhile, Lolly seemed to be smitten with me. She said there was something magnetic about me that day.

I figured it was probably Katrina’s doing somehow. But when I went to her shop to find out, it was too late. She closed up shop at 7 p.m., which seems so early for a fortune teller.

Today, Aurora asked me to dig up her time capsule for her. She then gave me the dawn tee that was inside.

Rolf asked me for some furniture, and I decided to give him the Mouth of Truth. (Since Mira can’t handle the Truth.) Rolf gave me a low screen in return.

Outside of Re-Tail, Mira was talking about Cyrus. She said he’s a real wild cat, and she thinks he used to be a hooligan!

That’s an interesting theory, and I don’t think I’ve seen this dialogue before!

Have a happy Halloween, everyone! I don’t plan on playing New Leaf for the event, but I may play City Folk and New Horizons. Have a great time, and I’ll see you again in November!
