I was surprised to see red rose seeds for sale at Nook’s Cranny today. That was the first time I’ve seen them in my shop! I bought a pack, because I’ve been lining Apple Lane with red roses. It’s been a slow process breeding them all (after buying some initially in another town months ago), but I now have all that I need.
Hornsby was sitting under a tree when I went up to talk to him. He asked if I could guess what he was doing. He then informed me that he was sitting. That’s New Horizons dialogue for you. 🤦
Saharah was in town, so I bought some mysterious wallpaper and flooring from her. They turned out to be the ringside seating and white-chocolates flooring. I ended up keeping the ringside seating, and I put it in my basement. I also brought in my judge’s bell, which I previously had by my sumo ring. The ringside seating is already animated, but hitting the judge’s bell makes the photographers in the audience start taking pictures (with visible flashes).
I set up some jail bars and pushed Rizzo in. Finally, I’ve imprisoned the rat!
Near town hall, Shari taught me the “confident” reaction.
About 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Logan, Timo, Alex, and Ryan came over to visit. Even though Rizzo had been in jail when I opened my gate, he somehow escaped as everyone arrived!
We posed with our sharks, tried to catch the duck in my plastic pool, and then my visitors placed bets on who would win a game of ping pong, with the hula doll playing against the garden gnome.
Even though I didn’t bury any pitfall seeds prior to opening my gate, I did bury a few just outside of doors as people were inside visiting villagers. 😀 Even though you can’t bury them as close to doors as you could in City Folk, I sometimes got an assist from an accomplice, who stood in a spot to block the view of the pitfall. Or in one case, some sharks did the trick. 🦈
We jumped around on pillars, hung out in my house for a while, played on the obstacle course, checked out the amusement park, beat up Rizzo, ran through arches, played a few rounds of museum tag, and then had a quick sumo tourney. Ryan was plotting to push me into a pitfall after the sumo matches, but it didn’t work. 😛
When I revealed that there was an arched tile path under my sumo ring, everyone seemed shocked. 😛 But putting that under the patterns makes sure that the sumo ring shows up on the map.
Shortly before 12:30 a.m., I ended the session for the night. Even though town didn’t fill up, I had a good time. Thanks for coming, everyone!
