On October 6th, Mira came up to me and asked if there were hearts fluttering around me!

She wondered what was happening to her. I’m guessing this was something related to Katrina, making her feel smitten towards me. 😛

Jack popped up in town, trying to recruit me for help on Halloween. However, I declined his offer. 😆

He gave me a mummy mask, and told me to look out for the other monster masks in Able Sisters. He then disappeared, not to be seen again until the 31st.

On October 9th, I found Lionel the lion camping at the campsite. I said hello, and that’s about it.

Last Monday was Explorer’s Day, and Isabelle was hanging out at the event plaza to hand out sailboat models.

There was also a face-cutout standee for the occasion, so I stuck my face into it and went for a cruise! Wait, I’m getting seasick… 🤢

Hornsby asked me to bury a time capsule for him, so of course I agreed to help out.

Yesterday, Mira asked me to buy her jolly painting for almost 5,000 bells. Obviously, I didn’t need it, but I bought it anyway to be nice. As it turns out, it was actually a forgery, which made a bad deal even worse. Strike 1.

She asked me to catch a mitten crab for her, and I thought this would give me a good chance to earn her photo.

I agreed to help her out, but mitten crabs weren’t out for the day yet. So I had to leave my 3DS in sleep mode for several hours. Once I did return, I went around the river countless times catching fish. It took me over an hour of fishing, but I eventually caught one.

I returned to Mira, and she told me I should take a break because I had been playing too long! But she was the sole reason I was playing so long, because she asked me for a rare fish crab! Strike 2.

So I give her the mitten crab, and she rewards me with…a watermelon table? I don’t need this!

Strike 3, you’re out! I wanted to pitfall her, but I didn’t have a pitfall with me. So I did the next best thing, and took my toy hammer out. *smack*

She wasn’t happy about that. 😆

Trying to earn these photos is driving me crazy! 🤪

Meanwhile, Aurora told me she thought I could use a space suit. Wait, what? Why? Does she know something I don’t? 🤔

Today, I listened in on a conversation between Lolly and Cube. Apparently Isabelle of all people dogs is an instigator! She told Lolly that Cube was childlike.

Naturally, Cube was insulted.

Cube said he’s been drinking three cups of coffee every night in an attempt to be mature…even at the expense of his sleep schedule.

Lolly said she didn’t know he was trying so hard, and she apologized. But Cube requested that she danced an “I’m sorry” dance to show that she really meant it. 😆

She did it, reluctantly. Then they suddenly noticed I was standing there, and Lolly was embarrassed. Aww, it’s okay Lolly!

I’ll see you all next time! Never Stop Crossing!

Jeremiah asked me for a new greeting yesterday, and I told him to say “I was a bullfrog.”

It was raining, and Inkwell told me he was going to shower outside. He used both his Splatoon-themed greeting and his Splatoon-themed catchphrase, and it all made logical sense together! That’s pretty rare. 😆

He asked me for some furniture, and I gave him the Kinderdijk windmill that I got in the mail from Gulliver (from the Netherlands). He liked what I chose, and he gave me a soft-serve lamp in return.

There was a tent at the campsite, and I found Biskit inside! He’s the cute dog that has no eyes…or at least no pupils. But when he reacted surprised, he actually did have eyes! And pupils!

I would have adopted him instantly if I had room in my town, but of course I didn’t.

I found a lost item on the ground, and I returned it to Lolly. It was a bag that had some bread inside! She said it’s probably stale now, and I don’t blame her for not wanting to eat it. Especially since it was on the ground, out in the rain.

She rewarded me with a bold-check tee, and I decided to put it on. It’s a shirt I remember wearing in the GameCube game many years ago.

By today, the rain was gone and the sun was out. Aurora asked me to bury a time capsule for her, and of course I helped out (despite the unenthusiastic look on my face in this screenshot). 😆

Mira asked me to catch a puffer fish for her, so that she could see if it looked like Hornsby. Fortunately, it didn’t take me long to track one down.

Mira thanked me for the fish, but she didn’t say if it looked like Hornsby to her or not. 😛 She gave me a dharma in return.

We’re about to head into October, and Jack will be showing up soon to tell us about Halloween! I’ll see you next time! 🎃

Last Saturday, I found Gulliver down on the beach.

He was headed to Mexico, and he sent me a skeleton figurine in the mail.

Boots gave me a new nickname, “bro.” He said that now he feels like he’s my king, in a swamp. 😛

Sunday, Boots asked me to make a delivery to Molly. Before she even opened it, she could tell it smelled sweaty. Eww.

She offered me “something special” if I could guess what it was, but I didn’t want it if it smelled sweaty! So I guessed that it was furniture, which was of course wrong. So I got no reward, but that’s okay.

Yesterday, Mira asked me for some new furniture. I gave her the skeleton figurine from Gulliver, and she seemed to like it. She rewarded me with a portable toilet.

It was the night of the autumn moon (harvest moon), and Aurora wanted to save a few drops of the moon’s light to look at later. Aww, that’s cute.

So of course, I had to look up at the sky to see it for myself.

Over at the plaza, Isabelle was there to hand out wheat bundles.

I also stopped to pose in the face-cutout standee that was set up for the occasion. I’m a scarecrow!

Today, Rolf told me about a weird new trend he saw on TV: He said that people are getting antlers attached to their heads! Now that is weird!

Cube asked me for a small piece of furniture, and I gave him the wheat bundle. He appreciated the gift, and he gave me a science table in return.

Gulliver was in town again today, and he was talking about tulips and windmills. He was headed for the Netherlands.

Mira started rapping to me, about feng shui of all things.

Hornsby pinged me, but Mira’s rap kept going and going. 😛

By the time Mira’s rap was over, Hornsby had moved on. So I’ll never know what he wanted. But it wasn’t about moving, because Aurora already wanted to move today…and I convinced her to stay.

I saw a very large fish shadow in the river, and I fished out an arapaima. These are always so satisfying to catch!

At the drive-in campground, I went inside an RV; it belonged to Joan! She was telling me that she’s more comfortable around turnips than people.

I’ll be back with another entry later this month. I hope to see you then! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
