Meeting Gullivarrr

Label must have really liked my outfit the other day, because she didn’t just send me a tailors ticket…she sent me two tailors tickets! She also sent me some Labelle socks.

Pirate Gulliver was in my town yesterday for the first time. Even though his speech bubble was labeled “Gulliver” at first, it later changed to Gullivarrr after he introduced himself.

Gulliver: I be Captain Gullivarrr, legendary pirate, feared for all manner of dreadful gullduggery! Arrr!

Gullivarrr has lost his communicator, and this works quite differently compared to regular Gulliver. I have to dive in the ocean to find his phone; it took me exactly five dives to find it.

I found the communicator! Now to bring it to that pirate.

I took it back to Gullivarrr, and he was able to call for help. He will send me a reward in the mail.

Gullivarrr: Be quick about it, or I'll buckle your swashes for good! So says Captain Gullivarrr! ARRR! Winky face, send.

Rizzo was examining an analog kitchen scale in Nook’s Cranny, but then I also found him in his house a few minutes later. He told me that he doesn’t like sweet things, except for apple cider vinegar??? I don’t even know what to think about him any more. He’s a weird guy…and not in a good way.

Rizzo: Me, I don't like sweet things. Except apple cider vinegar. Gahaha!

Celeste was in town, and she gave me a D.I.Y. recipe for a wand. Not a certain type of wand, but a basic wand that’s just called “wand.” 😛

While diving, I found a scallop and gave it to Pascal. But in return, he didn’t give me a recipe or a pearl…he gave me a mermaid tiara. Even though I’m not much of a tiara wearer (lol), it’s good to see that he can give physical rewards besides just pearls. Otherwise, he would feel very useless once we had all the mermaid recipes.

Today, I received a letter from Gullivarrr in the mail. He sent me a pirate eye patch. It has a skull on it, which seems like overkill in my opinion. An eye patch already looks like a pirate item on its own, it doesn’t really need a skull on it.

But I’m also a bit disappointed the pirate costume has become an NPC-exclusive outfit instead of being regular clothing you can buy at shops.

The fishing tournament was held today, so C.J. was in town. On my first attempt, I scored just 6 points. However, C.J. told me I had 12 points in my pool, so that means the points from the previous fishing tournament have carried over. That’s good news. I was able to redeem points for a prize, a fish doorplate.

C.J.: THERE's a keeper! Your very own fish doorplate. Nyuk nyuk!

I tried the tourney two more times, scoring 7 points each time. I was able to score another prize, a tackle bag.

When I visited Louie, he was trying to make up a new word. Brainial?

Louie: Did you know strength training is actually a deeply spiritual and, um, brainial activity, oh banana?

After shaking a tree, a studio wall spotlight fell out. That was my 100th piece of furniture from a tree, so I earned a whopping 5,000 Nook Miles!

Pascal appeared again today (after I caught a scallop, of course). He gave me some words of wisdom about putting your philosophy on a T-shirt. 😛

Pascal: If your philosophy can't be summed up in three words on a T-shirt, maaan, it's just too much work.

Interestingly, there was no K.K. Slider in town tonight. Last time there was a tournament, K.K. was moved to Friday. But now, he’s apparently being moved to Sunday. Nintendo needs to give K.K. his own venue instead of bouncing this poor dog around like a ping-pong ball.

Note: I plan on opening my gate at approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (U.S.) tomorrow. Anyone already on my Switch friend roster is welcome. I may only be open for an hour or so, though. But we can do a frog race, and possibly some sumo if enough people are interested.

See you tomorrow!
