Late last night, I went on and paid off my new ramp, so it was completed today.
Nook’s Cranny finally had another wet suit today, a black horizontal-striped one. Even though I’m not a fan of the stripes, black is much better than yellow. But when I checked the option for redeeming Nook Miles, I found an even better one. This Nook Inc. wet suit is black and green, with no stripes or leaf patterns on it. It’s the best one I’ve seen yet, although I’d still prefer a blue one.
I attended the completion ceremony for my new ramp, but I’m not posting a screenshot of it right now because it completely gives away my new area. 😛 But if anyone wants to see it later on, just ask me after my tour video is already up and I’ll go back and add it to this entry retroactively.
My third lily-of-the-valley (aka Jacob’s ladder) showed up today…right above Godzilla! But I’ll probably stop mentioning every new one that pops up now. 😛
I got stung by a wasp today, and I was surprised when Lopez actually gave me some medicine for it! Well, it’s nice to know he’s capable of being nice once in a while.
After I bought some bubblegum at Able Sisters, I stopped to speak with Midge. For a moment, I thought she was about to ask me to play a game of hide-and-seek! But she was actually just suggesting a book about hide-and-seek to me. As far as I know, actual hide-and-seek isn’t in New Horizons.
I didn’t do any diving today, but I did snare some new fish and bugs: I caught the sweetfish, horned elephant beetle, and horned atlas. They all now reside in the Forest Museum.
After shooting down a balloon present, my golden slingshot broke. 🙁 This is something that should never happen.
Agent S had a thought bubble above her head, and then she asked me to catch a sea horse for her.
Using a thought bubble and then asking for a specific catch is the same thing that Tia did the day she gave me her photo. So I had a feeling Agent S was doing the same thing. So I stopped what I was doing to search for a sea horse!
Unfortunately, it look me much longer than I anticipated. In fact, it took me 35 minutes to catch one! However, it would all be worth it if she gave me her photo. But instead, she gave me…
…a striped shirt! All that work for a shirt! Ugh. Just…ugh. 😒
After that, I got back to work on my new area. In fact, I basically finished it up! But once the designing bug bites me, I want to keep going! So I made some new layout changes that make it easier to get around on the cliffs. In fact, I’m putting in a new bridge! It’ll be my 8th bridge, but the first one on the cliffs. I paid it off right away, and then added some new paths connecting the area to an existing path.
I like my new additions, but the other end of the path is basically a dead end. I think I need to add something else there, even if it’s just some benches. But I’ll think about that more tomorrow.
A few other quick notes about today:
- Flick was in town, and I sold him many bugs throughout the day.
- I collected nine star fragments on the beach.
- There was yet another meteor shower tonight, and I wished on several more shooting stars.
- Apple wanted to move out, but I convinced her to stay.
- I caught six sharks today: four great whites, one whale shark, and one hammerhead.
See you all next time! 🙂 Never Stop Crossing!
