Isn’t it Ironic?

Apple and Louie were both sitting on stools in front of town hall today, and both drinking some coffee. Or it could have been tea, I’m not sure.

As I was walking near Keaton’s house on the mountain, I shot down a balloon present. Keaton looked on as I learned a new recipe…for a birdcage!

Keaton the eagle looks at Jeff as he learns the recipe to make a birdcage.

I was curious about the recipe, so I headed to my workbench to take a look at it. Apparently you can make it just out of wood! So where exactly does the living bird came from? Hmm…

Birdcage Materials: Wood 8/8.

I crafted one and put it in front of Midge’s house. 🐦

After I put on a HMD (head-mounted display) that Hornsby gave me, I spotted Saharah in town. I bought mysterious wallpaper (a mossy-garden wall) and flowing-river flooring from her. The flooring makes splashing effects when you walk through the water.

I found a lost item on the ground, and Tia told me that it belonged to Agent S. When I took over to my superhero squirrel friend, she gave me a young-royal shirt as my reward.

An anonymous commenter yesterday informed me that animals will display the items you give them the following day…not right after you leave and re-enter their houses like they do in previous games. And sure enough, it was true. Apple had her hamster cage proudly displayed in her house today. So a hamster has a hamster as a pet.

Apple: Feel free to look at all my fab stuff and validate my life choices!

She then did some stretches next to her bed. 😛

Back outside, Tia the living teapot asked me to buy some cream and sugar! Maybe her head is all out of tea? She was just asking for 500 bells, so I gladly helped her out. I didn’t want to make her steaming mad, after all. She is a bit of a hothead, after all. (Just kidding). 😉

Tia: Hopefully you're glad to end up with some cream and sugar.

So to summarize, an eagle watched me learn how to make a birdcage, a hamster displayed a hamster cage, and a teapot sold me some cream and sugar. 😂

Before wrapping up my game for the night, I paid off my latest debt to Tom Nook. I’m having Nook add an upstairs room to my house, and it will be done tomorrow. Unfortunately, I’m now going to owe him 1,248,000 bells. Ouch.

For People Who Visit Forest

Just a couple of notes for people who visit my town: If you don’t want to participate in a certain game I have planned, that’s fine… But do not interfere with the people who are playing. It’s unfair to them, and it’s disrespectful to me because I put a lot of time into setting these games up. Not to mention, the time it takes to re-do something delays the next activity.

And if you feel bored by what we’re doing, don’t just complain that you’re bored; feel free to leave and come back another day (or another time). I know not everybody is a fan of every activity I have planned, and that’s okay. But I get messaged by people on my roster every week who are unable to get into my town (not to mention people who aren’t on my roster, but would like to be), and they would happily take your spot. So if you’re not in the mood, or not enjoying your time in Forest, let someone else have a chance to join in.

I’ve also seen people needlessly running through my flowers to knock the petals off, or shaking a bunch of fruit trees without asking (including non-native fruits). Yes, they grow back, but please be respectful. Selling my non-native fruits is one of the main ways I make bells, so please ask before shaking those trees. Anyone that’s rude or disrespectful may not be welcome back.

Sorry for the little rant, but there have been a few incidents lately that have detracted from the fun of online play. I just don’t want the actions of a few people to sour the mood for the others.

Have a good day, and I’ll see you next time!
