Halloween 2022

It’s Halloween, and I joined in the festivities in City Folk tonight. I had a few pieces of candy that I bought or had in storage, and I later picked up some from around Guest’s house too.

Curt was the first Jack-wannabe that ambushed me. I gave him a piece of candy, and he said he’ll savor it on toast.

Curt: Mmmm! I'll be sure to savor it, on toast!
That sounds disgusting, to be curt.

If you’ve only played New Horizons, you should know that villagers don’t give you anything for candy in this game. Giving them candy just spares you from having them ruining your items or clothes. 😛

I quickly realized that I needed a costume to get more candy from villagers that were home. So I tried dressing like a hot dog.

But when I visited Harry, he told me he can’t wait to see what types of costumes people will be wearing. That clued me in that this outfit does not count as a costume. Oops.

Harry: I can hardly wait to see what sort of ridiculous getups everyone's in, beach bum.
Heh yeah. Haven’t seen any ridiculous costumes yet, though.

So I went back home for a change of clothes. I dressed up as a cavalier, because I knew it counts as a “look” for Halloween. And sure enough, Tom saw it and handed over some candy.

Tom, offering candy: Your costume is, uh, just the sort of thing I'd expect from you.

Over by the museum, I spotted the one masked monster that didn’t run towards me. That was the real Jack.

Jack: Ah, good work, pumpkin. You figured out which of us is the real Jack, czar of Halloween!

I gave him a piece of candy, and he gave me a spooky lamp. Unfortunately, the clock struck twelve midnight just two minutes later, and the event came to a close. It was disappointing that I wasn’t able to play longer, but at least I participated. And that spooky clock sold for 10,310 bells. 🙂

Goldie, on the other hand, was glad that Halloween was over!

Goldie: Phew... Halloween is finally over, woof woof. And thank goodness for that!

I was surprised that she said that, but it was only because she was worried that people would play tricks on her. Aww, poor Goldie.

I hope you all had a fun, and safe, night! Happy Halloween! 🎃👻💀🧙‍♀️🍬🍭🍫

Throne Sweet Throne

Tom Nook had a very special item for sale today: a throne! And at just 640,000 bells, too. What a bargain! 😉

Tom Nook: Just 640,000 bells! Don't miss out on it, friend! You want it, yes?

Even though I joke, that actually is a discounted price. It’s originally 800k, and I saw it for 720k in 2012, when I was a gold member. (I became a platinum member in 2014.)

Since I still needed the throne for my catalog, I decided to buy it! Tom Nook doesn’t accept the shopping card though, so I had to get some money out of the bank. But the throne is now mine, and I put it in my house.

I believe the throne is the most expensive furniture item in the game, although the crowns cost even more. The only bad thing is that my bank account balance has now dipped below 53 million bells again.

When I visited Gaston, he asked me if I would catch him a dab in exchange for shaving off his mustache. 😉

Gaston: Do you mind tossing a good dab my way, if I shave?

Actually that’s just his catchphrase, so he really wasn’t offering to lose the ‘stache. So I denied his dab request. 😛

Since it’s Saturday night, I decided to catch K.K. Slider’s show at The Roost. He performed K.K. Parade for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Parade.

I wrapped up my night by delivering a sky wall from Tom to my newest neighbor, Harry. Tom then rewarded me with some different wallpaper, a classic wall.

See you all next time! 🙂

Hairy Hairy Hippo

Big Top’s replacement has moved into town today, and I am very disappointed. It’s Harry, the hairy, hairy hippo. He’s one of the ugliest villagers in the entire series, if you ask me.

Harry: Huh? How did you get in here?

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a good-mood song. He played K.K. Country for me. Not exactly my first choice, but it was okay.

K.K.: Here's a peppy number that'll make you flip. This one's called K.K. Country.

Back outside, Gaston asked me for a new catchphrase. I told him to say “if I shave.” 😆 He would be near-unrecognizable without that mustache.

Gaston: Thanks to you, I feel like a new animal, if I shave!

At the shop, I decided to buy some candy. Halloween is coming up in just over a week. I may just participate again this year.

Tom Nook: Yes, a red candy. It costs 320 bells.
