Friends or Bait

On Sunday, Dizzy the elephant was camping at the campsite. Even though he isn’t one of my top-tier/favorite villagers, I do like him a lot. So I decided to inquire about who would replace if he were to move in. But unfortunately, he would have replaced Agent S…and I was not okay with that.

Dizzy, at the campsite: Yay! Hey, would it be OK if I talked to Agent S about swapping?

Sorry, Dizzy. Maybe another time.

On Tuesday, I went to Katrina to get my fortune told. She seemed to be talking about C.J. and Flick…

Katrina: I see a young fishing enthusiast and a young insect expert... Normally they get along well.

Apparently, they were arguing about whether bugs were friends or bait.

Katrina: But they're fighting now... It's an argument about whether bugs are friends...or bait.

That meant my luck with friendship will diminish, so she sold me a purification item for 10,000 bells. That item arrived in the mail the next day, and it was another horseshoe door decoration. Even though I already have all four of Katrina’s lucky items, I still want more dharmas for crafting purposes.

Yesterday, I had another camper in town, and it was Mott the lion. I’m most familiar with him from having him in Mushroom, which is my Mario-themed ACCF town. (Did you see my recent video episode of Mario Plays ACCF that I just posted on Sunday?)

Mott, at the campsite: I'm on a quest to find a new rival. My last one flexed so hard they got stuck like that. It was awesome!

However, I’m fairly neutral towards Mott. So I had no interest in asking him to move to my island here.

Up at the Roost, I enjoyed a cup of coffee with Static and Celeste!

I'm blissing out on this coffee right now. The scent alone is enough to wake me up!
Yeah, everyone looks so awake and alert in here.

Tonight, I grabbed a light stick out of storage before heading over to K.K. Slider’s show outside of Resident Services. Bob was also there, and we enjoyed a performance of “Mountain Song.” It was peak entertainment. 🗻

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Tuesday, I returned a lost autograph book to Agent S. She rewarded me with a cycling cap.
  • I gave some medicine to a sick June, and she gave me a printed fleece sweater.
  • When I recovered Wisp’s spirits for him, he handed me an anthurium plant.

Remember, Halloween is coming up next Friday! 🎃 I may not participate in the festivities in this game, but I plan on playing City Folk that night. I do have Halloween guides here on JVGS, so check them out if you need a refresher for the event:

See you next week!

Static the Gardener

Yesterday, I returned a lost book to Bones. He said it was his diary! In return, he gave me a checkered chesterfield coat. That item is a mouthful! And an alliterative mouthful, at that.

Bones: There ya go! It's a checkered chesterfield coat!

Static was talking about how much he enjoys gardening. He even said he wouldn’t be so pleasant and easygoing if not for gardening. So… I guess that means he doesn’t do it very often. 😛

Static: That's right, kiddo. I wouldn't be so pleasant and easygoin' if it weren't for these green thumbs.

When I spoke with Merengue, she told me that she’s currently reading a romance novel. And it had her imagining her ideal date…

Merengue: Oh! What about a nice, long walk along the shore, just taking in the seaside scenery together?
Sounds nice.

Tonight, Bones joined me for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed “Space K.K.” for us.

K.K.: Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little Space K.K.?

Honestly, not a whole lot has been going on in Forest lately. But here are a few other quick notes about the past week:

  • On Sunday, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Western” for me, Ankha, Bob, Merengue, and Kid Cat. Nice crowd!
  • Peanut was sick with a cold, so I crafted some medicine right in her house. She took the medicine, and she rewarded me with an explorer’s hat.
  • I helped out Wisp on Thursday, and he gave me a patchwork sofa chair.
  • After recovering Gullivarrr’s phone, he sent me a pirate-treasure robe yesterday.
  • I sold 14 bugs to Flick for a total of 61,200 bells.

Fits Like Yoga Pants

Last Saturday, I listened in on a conversation between my peppy squirrels, Agent S and Peanut. Peanut decided to start using Agent S’s catchphrase, “in Wii Fit.”

Peanut: Ohmigosh! ME TOO! In Wii Fit! Hey! I think your saying might have maybe rubbed off on me!

Agent S replied that the phrase fits Peanut like yoga pants! Very fitting.

Agent S: Ohmigosh! Peanut, that saying already fits you like yoga pants!

On Tuesday, Tex the penguin was camping in town. This was his third time camping here, and I’m still not interested. 😛

Tex, at the campsite: Ahoy.

Yesterday, I ran into Pascal while diving. He told me that the present is the past, because his sentence will already be in the past by the time he finished it. 😛 But more interestingly, this had to have been one of Pascal’s closest visits to the shore. I could even see the sand on the beach behind him (and Merengue, who was resting under a coconut tree).

Pascal: The present is the past, maaan. By the time I finish saying this sentence, it'll already be history.

He gave me a pearl for my scallop.

Today, the fall fishing tournament was held. I participated in one run, and it wasn’t going well. At one point, Kid Cat was blocking my path…and when I tried to go around him, my character jumped and scared a fish away (and I still couldn’t get around Kid Cat). Then later, I pressed the button too soon and scared another fish away. So I only ended up catching five fish.

I caught a rainbowfish! Gotta keep this up!

The good news is that two of my fish (a red snapper and a pike) were semi-valuable catches, so I was able to sell the haul for a decent price (8,880 bells).

But my seven points earned weren’t enough to net a new prize (even with one previous point already in my pool). Oh well. I didn’t care enough to play a 2nd round though. 😛

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week or so:

  • Last Saturday, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Mambo” for me, Bob, and Bones.
  • I helped out Wisp on Tuesday, and he gave me a nightgown. Sorry Wisp, but I’m not going to model it for you. 😛
  • Louie was sick on Wednesday, so I gave him some medicine. In return, he gave me a box sofa.
  • I helped out Gulliver, and he sent me a South Pole on Thursday.

See you next time! Never Stop Crossing!
