Last Wednesday, Boots asked me for a butterfly. I gave him an emperor butterfly (from my dock box), and he thanked me by giving me a trunk measure.

So when Big Top later asked me for some furniture later, I knew exactly what to give him.

He didn’t use it to measure his trunk, though…at least not in public. But he rewarded me with a washing machine.

Up on Main Street, I said hello to my former villager Hippeux. But I was actually a bit surprised to see he’s still hanging out on Main Street. It’s been four and a half years since he moved out! But then again, there hasn’t been a lot of villager movement over the past couple years, so I guess it makes sense.

There was a meteor shower going on, so I stopped to wish on a few shooting stars.

On Friday, Inkwell was talking about Pete walking around town to deliver mail. He said Pete must have better calves than him.

Today, Boots was looking to replace his emperor butterfly (yes, the one I gave him). I caught a carp for him, and he rewarded me with his picture! This isn’t the first time he’s given me his pic, but it’s still a nice gesture.

I found a lost item on a bridge, and I eventually returned it to Agent S. She also thanked me with her photo! Hers wasn’t a new one for me either, but I’ll take it.

I checked out Inkwell’s house for the first time since he unpacked, and it’s just as Splatoony as you’d expect. 😛

I updated my dream today, in case any of you want to meet Inkwell. My dream address is 5D00-000F-7611.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Cody from Crazy, Karo from Alenris, Lillia from Pink Sea, JacksonM from Fairwood, and Jared from Gamecity. Thanks for stopping by!

Last Wednesday (November 11th), Big Top informed me that he was planning on moving out of town on the 12th!

I told him to stick around, but that was a really close call! If I had played just one day later, he would’ve been all packed up and it would’ve been too late to save him! What makes it even more interesting is that I almost didn’t play on the 11th. My computer was bogged down with a Windows 10 update, so I picked up New Leaf while I waited for it to finish. If not for that, Big Top would have been gone! 😮

Rolf asked me to dig up his time capsule, so of course I helped out my buddy.

But my reward was just an aqua polka tee.

Today, Inkwell was at Re-Tail, wanting to buy a lunar lander! Octopi do look a bit alien-like, so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. 😉

Big Top asked me to pick out some furniture for him. I didn’t have anything in my pockets, so I went back to Re-Tail and bought that Mouth of Truth you can see in the previous screenshot. I gave it to Big Top, and he put it in his house…but facing the wrong way. 😛 (You can’t see the face from the entrance, I mean.)

In return, he gave me a harp. No strings attached. 😉

I then went to the tiger exhibit at the zoo. Uh, I mean, Claudia’s house. Rolf was visiting her.

I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground, and I eventually returned it to its owner, Boots. He said it contained his magic workout dust!

He gave me a pop bloom tee for returning it.

Later on tonight, Lolly told me she was thinking about outer space. She said she’d love to visit other planets, because it would be like a space safari! Sounds fun! 🪐

I received Vivian’s goodbye letter in the mail yesterday. She attached her picture to the letter. While I have received her picture before, it was actually from April Fools’ Day and I never really knew if I truly “earned” it or not. But now, I know for sure that I have indeed earned it.

I found a lost item on the ground directly behind the police station. It turned out to be Big Top’s item, although it was just an empty bag!

An empty bag is not a lost item, it’s litter. But still, he gave me a happi tee for returning the bag.

I found Inkwell’s house plot in the eastern part of town, near the campsite. It was almost exactly the same spot where Vivian lived, but apparently up two spaces.

Today, Big Top asked me to catch a cherry salmon for him. I reluctantly agreed to help, and I was just hoping it wouldn’t take me half the day to find one. But I was pleasantly surprised to catch a cherry salmon on my very first attempt!

I took it back to Big Top, and he gave me a flashy suit for helping out.

Inkwell has moved in, so I went to his house to say hello. Welcome to Forest, Inkwell!

We may not have many turf wars here in Forest, but I’m sure he’ll feel right at home here, lickety-splat.

After putting some money into the bank, my account balance reached 118 million bells.
