Today is Bunny Day, so Happy Easter to you all! Zipper T. Bunny was hanging out at the plaza, and he gave me 10 stone eggs to get me started. When I spoke with him again, he gave me a Bunny Wand as my reward for crafting all his recipes (which I did last year).
It’s actually not a bad gift, because it sells for 11,100 bells. And I felt free to sell it, because I still have the one from last year in storage. Anyway, he also asked for one egg of each type. When I handed them over, he gave me a Bunny Day basket. This step can be repeated for multiple baskets, but they only sell for 1,200 bells.
So unless you’re farming eggs for baskets one at a time, there’s really not much to this event if you’ve played before or if you’ve already crafted everything. In a way, it’s disappointing. But at the same time, I’m glad I didn’t have to spend any more time with this obnoxious event than I already have. 😛
My villagers were all dressed up for the event, and most of them were a bit too excited about it.
Apollo seemed to be the lone exception. He didn’t understand why people made such a big deal over Bunny Day. Although that seemed a bit disingenuous, considering he was all dressed up in eggshells for the occasion.
There were tons of balloon presents flying overhead, although the vast majority were just sky eggs. But I did get one that had a new seasonal recipe I needed, the cherry-blossom pochette.
Shortly after 9:00, I headed over to Logan’s town of Moonscar for his Easter party. Logan had an Easter egg hunt, with dozens of eggs hidden all over his town. It was a great idea, and it was a lot of fun…even though I didn’t do all that great at it.
I wish Zipper T. Bunny had something like this, as an official timed, Bug-Off style event. That would be so much better than what Zipper does now.
If you’re wondering, I was wearing a yellow bunny hood and a pattern of Gaston (from the design portal) as a shirt. It was my attempt at being semi-Eastery. At least I was a bunny. 😛
After that, we hung out in Logan’s house for a while. Alex from Pawnee (in the white bunny suit) had the best costume.
I left about 11:00. Thanks for the invitation, Logan! The egg hunt was fun! 🐇🐰🥚
Note: I uploaded my first annual slideshow of New Horizons pictures today. It’s provides a look back at the events of the past year, including the early days of Forest. I hope you’ll check it out and enjoy the memories. 🙂
Happy Easter and Happy Bunny Day, everyone!
