You’re Not Midge!

Yesterday, I caught my 2nd gigas giant clam…but it wasn’t easy. It took me six minutes to track it down and finally grab it!

When I went into Midge’s house, I was not just surprised by what I saw…but also legitimately confused.

Tia stands in Midge's house.

I saw Tia there…but not Midge! It turns out Midge was just standing behind Tia, and completely out of view. 😛

I found my daily scallop, and Pascal popped up to share his wisdom about change.

Pascal: Everything changes. Sometimes it's scary, sometimes it's a relief, and sometimes it means dinner's ready.

He gave me some mermaid shoes in exchange for the scallop.

It seemed like everyone wanted me to change their catchphrases yesterday. Apple, Midge, and Louie all asked me, but I told them all to stick with what they’re using.

Flick was in town, so I sold him every bug I caught last night.

Today, Gullivarrr was washed up on shore, and even he lampooned the infamous C+ sea bass “pun.”

Gullivarrr: Zzz... Ye call that a sea bass? I give it a C- at best...arrr! Nyah, nyam...

I went diving for his communicator, and I actually found it on my very first dive this time! I stayed in the water because I wanted to get Pascal’s item too, and I found a scallop on my 3rd dive! Talk about efficiency! In return for the scallop, Pascal gave me a D.I.Y recipe for a mermaid screen.

I returned the communicator to Gullivarrr, and he should be sending me a reward in the mail.

Since I don’t need bells as much as now, I haven’t been selling all my fruit in recent weeks. So that has allowed me to use my fruit for crafting. I’m going through and making all the fruit-related recipes I have. I’ll be keeping one of each fruit hat in storage, too. Ever since the ACCF days, I’ve always enjoyed having a variety of fun hats to wear during online play.

I ran into Wisp tonight, and he was not happy to see me.

Wisp: N-N-NOOOOOOOOOO!

But I collected his five spirits for him, and he gave me a green molded-panel wall. Wisp has become one of my least-favorite special characters to see in New Horizons. Tracking down all five spirits is a time-consuming process, and the reward generally isn’t worth the trouble.

Apple had another bad trade for me. She gave me a concierge uniform in exchange for an arapaima I caught earlier. I accepted the deal, because I’m still at the point where I’m sucking up to everyone so that I can get their villager photos. 😛 Well, not Rizzo. If he asked for an arapaima, I would say no in an instant. 😛

Apple: Can you trade me your arapaima for my concierge uniform?

Just a heads-up for people on my friend roster: There won’t be a Friday Night Forest this week, and I won’t be opening up on Sunday either. But I’ll still have blog entries tomorrow and Saturday, and perhaps a new video Saturday as well. See you soon! 🙂
