Shortly after starting up the game tonight, Whitney asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. She gave me ten minutes to find her, Bones, and Sterling.

It only took me a few seconds to find Sterling, who was hiding behind my house. A few minutes later, I found Whitney peeking through the trees near the gate.

And with three and a half minutes remaining on the timer, I found Bones hiding behind Kitty’s house. Whitney gave me a tall quazoid as my prize for winning the game.

Immediately after the game, Sterling pinged me. He wanted a new greeting, and I told him to say “good knight.”

At Able Sisters, I bought a green tie-dye shirt and changed into it. I was a bit tired of the firefighter tee, since I’ve been wearing it the whole summer.

Puck asked me to make a delivery to Limberg, and I agreed to help out (for Puck’s sake, not Limberg’s). And I’m glad I did, because Puck seemed to be trolling Limberg; Puck sent him a waitress shirt! Limberg hated it so much that he even “woofed,” like a dog! 😀

When I returned to Puck, he gave me a gold screen wall for helping out. Anytime, Puck!

Kitty was sick, so I bought some medicine for her. Now if only I could buy her a ticket out of town. She’s been here for over two and a half years! Why hasn’t she asked to move out?

I noticed a new house in town, and I found Mitzi the cat inside! I like Mitzi; I had her in my Bananas town before, and she’s cute. Welcome to Forest, Mitzi!

I received Midge’s goodbye letter in the mail today.

Sterling was talking about potato salad for some reason, and he imagined having enough of it to build a baseball stadium out of it. And then he added “but steel,” which is his catchphrase. It sort of fit the situation, and yet it nullified his point about it being made out of potato salad.

I hadn’t been doing any bug-catching over the past week and a half, so I was behind schedule in regards to meeting my goal. But I made up for it today. I particularly had a lot of success with rare bugs between 11 p.m. and midnight, and I was approaching my goal.

But once the clock struck 12, things slowed down quite a bit. Not only were some of the August bugs suddenly out of season, but new September bugs were plentiful…including crickets.

I still caught a shark, and Goldie almost immediately offered to buy it from me for 18,849 bells. I was surprised I was able to move the shark so quickly. 😉

I was still a bit short of my goal, so I went around collecting foreign fruit. Fortunately, I have a lot of foreign fruit trees from the early days of Forest. And by 12:20 a.m., my bank account balance reached 38 million bells.

In total, I earned about 400,000 bells today in about 2 hours and 20 minutes of play time. That’s much longer than my usual sessions, but I was determined to meet my goal.

And you may remember that my goal was technically to have 38.1 million bells by September 1st. But I have that covered. My bank account balance will earn me 99,999 bells in interest overnight, so I still met my goal.

The third fireworks festival of the month was held tonight. Since I didn’t participate in the last two, I decided to play tonight. Tortimer was standing outside of town hall, encouraging villagers to kick back and watch some explosions.

He handed out some sparklers and roman candles. I did my annual tradition of lighting a fire under his… shell.

And of course, I spent a few moments looking up to enjoy the fireworks. I usually stand on a bridge somewhere, but this time, I stood on the cliff at the top of the waterfall.

Midge is now all packed up and ready to move out of town, so I said goodbye to her and her nest.

After that, I tried to do a little bug-catching. However, I wasn’t finding many good ones…and I was starting to get tired. So I called it a night before I earned many bells. I’ll have to make up for it next time.
