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! 🎃👻💀🧙‍♀️🍬🍭🍫
