Lopez Moves In

C.J. was in town today with a fishing challenge for me: I had to catch three large fish in a row without letting one get away. That was easy enough: I caught a squid, a barred knifejaw, and an oarfish to complete the challenge.

That's 3 big-time fish! Which means...you just completed the challenge! Go tell C.J.!

I returned to C.J., and he gave me 23,250 bells for those fish plus a cherry salmon I caught earlier. Not bad!

C.J.: Oh, you got a whole school for me? All together that'll be... 23,250 bells. Deal?

Rizzo is apparently going senile. He didn’t know how it got so late (it was only about 4 p.m.), and he didn’t even know how he got outdoors! Yikes, that’s bad.

Rizzo: And, uh...how did I get out here?

I then went to meet my new neighbor, Lopez the deer gazelle. He said he moved from Solstice, which is Timo’s town.

Lopez: Well, good to meet you! I'm Lopez, a fresh new face from Solstice.

Midge was reading a book on the bench near the sumo ring, and I thought she looked cute there. 😛

I was playing before 5 p.m. for a change, so I actually caught two new bugs, a mantis and a Raja Brooke’s birdwing.

I caught a Rajah Brooke's birdwing! Nothing else I'd rajah be doing!

While fishing, I caught a couple pieces of garbage. I ended up using them to craft some trash bags, which I placed outside of Rizzo’s house.

Rizzo's house, with trash, a campfire, and a canister of gasoline nearby.
Can you tell I don’t like the guy?

Before wrapping up my game for the day, I paid off my debt to Tom Nook. He will be adding a basement to my house tomorrow! The bad news is that I will owe him 2,498,000 bells for the project. Ouch.

See you late tomorrow night Saturday with another entry!

Update: Sorry, change of plans. No Friday Night Forest this week.
