The Roost Opens

Today was opening day of the cafe in the museum, better known as The Roost. I attended the completion ceremony this morning.

I bought myself a hot cup of coffee, and then I used the amiibo phone to call Booker. He came to the Roost, and he also brought his partner Copper. They were surprised when they realized they came all this way and the Roost doesn’t even sell donuts. 😉

Since it rained yesterday, I’ve now started to find random gyroids buried underground. My newest ones are a twangoid, wallopoid, and arfoid.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he played a new song (K.K. Polka) for me, Tia, Marina, and Louie.

Apollo was in his house cooking tonight, and he taught me a cooking recipe for pickled veggies.

On Harv’s Island, Cornimer was again standing in for Tortimer. Redd unfortunately had the same items that he had yesterday. I was thinking his one-item-per-day limit meant that his stock was going to change every day…but it’s not looking that way now.

Leif opened up his stand, and as expected, he sells produce starts. Today, he had tomato starts and wheat starts, so I bought five of each.

I noticed that the Kicks stand already has 2,200 bells in donations (which I didn’t make). So apparently villagers can make small donations. But I put my money towards the Reese & Cyrus stand; it should open tomorrow.

At 9:30 tonight, I opened my gate for the first time in months. Bran, MaryAnn, Logan, Nami, Mike, Xavier, and Samzyy came over. Note: This was Mike’s first time in Forest, but I played with him in ACCF and New Leaf in the past. If you’re a long-time Youtube viewer, you may remember him from my final ACCF Wi-Fi Moments video.

We headed over to the plaza, and at first, I thought we couldn’t do aerobics because K.K. Slider was here. That turned out not to be the case, but there was another issue instead:

You can only do group stretching if all of your visitors are registered as best friends. The obvious question is: Why? It’s not like stretching is anything like using a shovel or axe in someone’s town; they’re not going to hurt anything by stretching? So I had to go through my list and add everyone as best friends, just so we could stretch for a minute. So the set-up is more complicated than it should be, but we did eventually get to participate. 🙂

After that, we tried to enjoy a performance from K.K. Slider. But as it was about to begin, Samzyy disconnected. We tried again, and K.K. performed K.K. Break for us. We discovered that we can now clap during the shows! That’s a nice new feature that was quietly added in the update!

William then joined in, and we headed up to the Roost for some coffee. While it’s simple enough to buy a cup of coffee for yourself, it’s a bit complicated to get coffee for everyone. Everyone in town has to be in the Roost for it to work, and everyone needs to be seated when one person goes to purchase the coffee, and then that person gets up and has to sit down again for the dialogue to commence. But I paid 1,600 bells and we all drank.

After a bit, we went over to Apollo’s house, where he was still cooking. Xavier and Logan had to leave, and then Timo came over and Samzyy returned. We went over to Nook’s Cranny, and we hula danced to the Nooklings’ “closing soon” song. 😛

I took everyone to meet my two newest neighbors, Marina and Static. Around 11:30, we did some group stretching again for the visitors that weren’t around the first time. After that, Nami, William, Bran, and Samzyy left for the night. Locuras came over, and we all danced to the song of the gyroids in my house. 😛

We then went up to the Roost. Yann left shortly after midnight, and Xavier came back. We all drank wayyyyyy too much coffee, and I ended the session at 12:30. Thanks to everyone who came! It was fun! 🙂
