Tonight, Rowan asked me to find a fruit beetle for him. That’s one of the easiest tasks ever.
So I walked a few feet and caught one. I gave it to Rowan and he thanked me by giving me a tea-room wall.
After I was done watering my flowers, I made my way to the beach for the night’s main event: Gulliver.
It wasn’t an easy journey, but my long wait is over. He gave me the Metroid! Score!
Even though it looks cool, the best part is the short bit of Metroid music it plays. It made me think of how Metroid (the game series) has such great, atmospheric, even haunting music. More than any other Nintendo franchise (yes, even Zelda), I feel that the unique music in Metroid is an integral part of the game. Metroid with a different soundtrack may have still been a good game, but I don’t feel it would have become the classic that it is.
Sorry for going off on a tangent there. But tomorrow night is Friday Night Forest, so check back late tomorrow night for another entry.
I checked the new items at Crazy Redd’s shop, but he didn’t have anything I was interested in. Phineas was also in the city, so I got a bubble wand from him.
Back in Forest, everything indicated that today would be a UFO day. And indeed, at 8:07, the UFO flew overhead. Direct hit!
This was my 19th time shooting down the UFO overall and 9th time in 2012. As I was looking for the spaceship part, Yuka approached me. Even though I didn’t really want to talk to her, I was hoping she was going to say she was moving out. But she was just asking for a new catchphrase. So I gave her one.
Meanwhile, I was having a hard time finding the spaceship part. I was starting to get worried. But then I finally spotted it. It was much farther from the impact site than it usually is…perhaps the farthest that I’ve seen it. But I did recover it, and that’s all that matters. Check back tomorrow to find out which rare item Gulliver gives me.
So later on, Yann agreed to bring Katie over.
I noticed that Yann’s tan was getting darker.
I also noticed that the grass is a different color now. It’s a bluish green. Strangely enough, it will become green again later on, towards the end of summer.
Yann and I caught bugs for 10-15 minutes or so, and then I closed my gate. But after I did, Rowan was mentioning a cat that he didn’t know if it was male or female.
And sure enough, now that Kaitlin was gone, Blanca appeared! I never knew you could have the lost cats and Blanca in the same day! Actually, while the gate was open, I had Saharah too! So it was a busy day in terms of visitors! Anyway, Blanca was wearing a creepy face that Ness made. Ness seemingly put a lot of effort into it and did a good job at making Blanca look creepy.
Blanca now wanted a serious face though. I’m too lazy to put much effort into it; I just want Blanca gone tomorrow so she doesn’t interfere with my UFO hunt.
After that, I ended my game for the night.
