I started up the game today and Pete was there to greet me with a letter. It contained a creepy coffin, the new DLC.
The creepy coffin is the first part of a 10-piece series that will continue through late October (all leading up to Halloween, of course). The surprising part was that Nintendo’s site states that this item wouldn’t be released until June 14th, but here it is on June 1st. This is the included letter:
I put the creepy coffin up in my lab room for now. This is what it looks like when it’s closed:
And when you open it, you can see the skeleton inside. By the way, the next DLC will be the creepy bat stone later this month.
Since it’s the first of the month, I also got my monthly bank statement. I earned 56,350 bells in interest this month.
Egbert asked me to give Guest a message. So I switched to my Guest character and told Egbert the keyword “clothing.” He gave me a paw shirt for my trouble.
Later on, I opened my gate at 10:00. Fridays are my Wi-Fi night, or Friday Night Forest, as I like to call it. Yann came in, as did Megan. Megan has been on my roster for years, but she was previously known as Kimmy. This is her new character. She was one of the founding members of our Totem Rockers band from 2010. Anyway, she got re-acquainted with my town pretty quickly.
I showed her my house…and my steam roller. I just noticed that the side mirror on the steam roller almost looks like it’s a monocle in this picture.
Megan mentioned that she didn’t have her shock emotion any more. I recommended revealing her bed head and she’ll look shocked.
Then she shocked me by revealing her mustache!
Yann went hiding, and I found her.
We then played an acronym game for a while.
Megan was away for a while, so I pitfall’d her.
It’s June, so that means new bugs and fish are out. Here, Yann and I both caught fireflies by the river.
Then we had a spontaneous, old-fashioned net fight. HIGH FIVE!
The beginning of June also marks the return of sharks to the ocean. I caught two hammerheads tonight.
I also caught a couple of goliath beetles.
When I talked to Egbert, he thanked me for giving the message to Guest earlier.
And Victoria was…feeling the summer heat.
We continued playing well after 1 a.m., and things got a bit crazy. Some things just can’t be explained; you had to be there.


Later on, I saw Pete walking around. I don’t always mention this, but Pete’s presence guarantees that the UFO will not be coming today. It’s been six weeks since the last UFO visit, so it feels like it’s really overdue. I took out my frustrations on Pete.
Later on, Bob approached me and gave me a classic carpet for free.
That was disappointing, but I went on around town, doing my normal things. I dug up fossils, sold some items, and checked for new black roses (I didn’t find any today). I saw Wendell was in town, but I didn’t bother talking to him since I’m not looking for any of his patterns.
