Ghostly Encounter

Tank has been sick lately, so I bought some medicine at the store for him. It is World Rhino Day, after all. Get well soon, big guy.

Tank flips upside down as he takes his medicine.
Hey, watch where you’re sticking that horn!

I went in to visit Gloria today, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that she was all packed up and ready to move out of town! She was mad that I arrived too late to help her pack. As if I would want to help her anyway.

Gloria: Well... you're right on time, aren't you? To see me all sweaty and gross!
But you’re always gross.

I found an empty lamp while on my walk around town. It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen Wisp in this game.

An empty lamp sitting on the ground.I took a bus ride out to the city, where I badgered Phineas for a bunny balloon.

Phineas: Ah, looking for a bunny balloon? Can't say I blame you. I'm a sucker for those cute little guys, too!He gave me an orange one (called a bunny O. balloon).

I stand in the city, holding an orange bunny balloon.I returned to the game later tonight. I took a walk near the beach, where a mysterious voice told me to come closer!

?????: I hope this isn't a hassle, but would you mind coming over here for a second?Once I walked in the right direction, Wisp the ghost appeared. He asked me to find his lamp. When I told him I already had it, he told me to go to my attic so I could rub his lamp in private.

Wisp: Woooooo! Oh, hoooooray! You did it! You found my lamp! Now I can finally return home!So I went up to my attic, which is a place I almost never visit any more. I rubbed the lamp, and Wisp appeared.

Wisp: Tah-Dahh! You rang?He offered me a reward for returning his lamp: I could choose to have him pull weeds, splat roaches, or give me stuff. I asked him for a furniture item, and he gave me a blue golf bag! That’s a subpar reward, and I was a bit teed off.

Rainy Day by the River

It was storming in Forest today, and Alli was not enjoying the rain.

Alli: Hello, old dog. This is some very unglamorous weather we're having.If you look closely, you can see a flea jumping off of her in the above pic. I caught the flea, and she said someone must have sabotaged her by putting the flea on her. Apparently, everyone is jealous of how good she looks. At least that’s what she thinks.

I saw Pascal was in town on my middle bridge, but I didn’t have a scallop attached to any of my letters. But fortunately, I found one when I combed the beach. I took it back to him, and he told me that schools of fish don’t actually learn anything.

Pascal: Schools of fish don't LEARN anything, maaan.He gave me a ship cannon in exchange for the scallop. He then swam down the river, and I was able to take this picture of him going over the waterfall.

Pascal swims over the waterfall.Downstream, I saw a huge fish shadow near my southern bridge. It kept hiding from me, often going under the bridge. But I stuck with it, eventually catching myself an arapaima!

Tank’s Top

It was raining quite heavily in Forest tonight. Benedict, still wearing his waitress shirt, said the rain makes him feel like he’s in a movie. Hmm, would that be Chicken Little maybe? I don’t think an umbrella will save you if the sky is falling.

Benedict: Taking walks on rainy nights like tonight makes me feel like I'm in a movie.I was a bit tired of wearing my flame shirt. I’ve been wearing it since March, after all! So when I saw a No. 1 shirt on sale in Able Sisters tonight, I decided to buy it and put it on.

I found a new house in the northeast part of town, so I went inside to check out who was inside. My new neighbor is Tank the rhino.

Tank: Right on! Good to meet you. This is my first day living here. They call me Tank.

Tank seems pretty cool, even if I don’t understand why he has a leaf on his head. But when he turned around, I noticed something: Tank and I are wearing the same clothes! We both have the No. 1 shirt on, although mine is a T-shirt and his is a tank top. That way, he’s able to show off his army arms.

My favorite villager Savannah was sick with a cold, so of course I went to the store and bought some medicine for her. She flipped as she took the medicine, as animals do, but her T-rex skull in the room made it look like something else:

To save myself, I threw the zebra into the jaws of the hungry T-rex.

I took the bus out to the city and checked out Crazy Redd’s items for the week. He was selling a super toilet for 3,960 bells. But despite my No. 1 shirt, I didn’t have to go. So I wasn’t interested, but Redd had an interesting choice of words for the toilet: He was astounded at how I can sniff out a bargain!

Redd: I gotta tell ya, Cousin... Redd's always astounded at how you can sniff out a bargain.
It’s not the bargain I’m smelling.
