Bug Season

Friga was sick with a cold. However, I couldn’t buy her any medicine because Tom Nook had already closed up shop for the night.

Friga: To be honest, I feel like banana bread served with a side of sneezes.And since July is here, I did some bug-catching! Lots of rare bugs are available in July and August, especially at night. Here, I was in the process of catching a Hercules beetle.

Me sneaking up on a Hercules beetle.Elmer asked me to make a delivery to Mallary, so I hunted down the duck. It turns out he gave her a dragon suit! Ha! She didn’t care for it, but I don’t care for her, so I got a laugh out of it.

Mallary: What could it be? It's... a dragon suit?!I returned to Elmer and told him the delivery was complete. He rewarded me with a red tile.

I then went back outside to look for more bugs. I didn’t catch too many though, because my pockets didn’t have much space and I couldn’t sell them since the store was closed. And there was something I forgot about: Scorpions! But they didn’t forget about me!

Me passed out on the ground after being attacked by a scorpion.

Forest Town Tour 2014

I decided that today is the day I would make my 2014 Forest town tour video. So I started cleaning up my town; I pulled weeds, destroyed or sold unnecessary flowers, and I even found a four-leaf clover!

Check it out! I found a four-leaf clover! Does this mean I'll be really lucky now?I also changed my town tune into the Xenogears song “Faraway Promise” that I’m also using in New Leaf. Here are the notes if you’re interested:

It was definitely a beautiful day in Forest.

Elmer: Yeah, I don't want me to leave either... It's kinda out of my control, though, eagle eye.And Kiki was talking about how I’ve caught every type of fish. She said she wanted to accomplish that feat too, but she was having some trouble catching them all.

Kiki: But it takes a lot more muscle than I realized! Those fish can be awfully heavy, for real!As for other upcoming videos, there will be two Wi-Fi Moments videos yet to come, although they’re still a ways off. The first one, #61, will include a number of old clips that have been in my queue for a while. This will likely be a long episode. And then Wi-Fi Moments #62 will only cover the final night in Forest from May 19th. Stay tuned for both of those.

If you’d like to view my previous town tour videos, here they are:

Everybody is Staying

I know Elmer is safe from moving out, because Octavian wanted to leave now instead. But I told him to stay, and he instantly agreed.

Octavian: And moving's such a hassle, anyway. All right, you've convinced me. I'll stay in Forest!Wendy told me that in her previous town, they would make up their own reasons to party in summer.

Wendy: The kids got fireworks, and the grown-ups...um...ate fish. Ah, good times!It was raining in town tonight, and Lily told me how the raindrops sound like music. And I just love how often her catchphrase works out so well.

Lily: If I listen carefully to the sound of the rain, it seems like music on the leaves and flowers, unlike you.
