Spooky DIYs

Static was sick with a cold on Wednesday, so I crafted some medicine for him. He rewarded me with a throwback mitt chair. That’s handy!

Static: If I'm ever feelin' down in the dumps again, I know who to call.

Gullivarrr was in town yesterday, and I went diving to find his communicator for him.

I found a lost item on the ground: a bag with a book in it. I eventually reunited it with its owner, Tia. She gave me a kung-fu tee as my reward. It may not be my favorite, but I didn’t want to fight with her about it. 😛

Tia: I'm hoping you can use a kung-fu tee.

Earlier in the week, I mentioned that I bought a spooky treats basket at Nook’s Cranny. But yesterday, Marina gave me the DIY recipe so that I can make my own.

Marina: I'm currently crafting a spooky treats basket, just to see how I do at it.

And then today, Agent S taught me how to make a spooky trick lamp. So I made one of each.

Gullivarrr sent me a pirate eye patch in the mail. But I actually prefer the regular eye patch, without the skull on it.

Tia is now back to wearing her maid dress, just like the day we met.

Tia: So, what's your opinion of my maid dress?

Flick was in town, but I only had three bugs in storage for him. He gave me 30,000 bells for the trio.

The Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct is just one week away! Like I posted on Twitter, I can’t help but wonder if they’re going to announce the update will be available that very night (instead of in November). Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but they have done things like that before. But even if that’s not the case, it’s going to be exciting just to see the new things that are coming to the game. It’ll be fun! 🙂

I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow. Hope to see you then!

Static’s Magic Trick

On Sunday night, the owl on the bulletin board indicated there was a new message posted. It was about the fishing tournament, but before I read it, I tried to get the owl to fly up towards the camera a couple times. This is the best I could do:

An owl flies away from the bulletin board.
“Owl be back!”

Wisp was in town, and I gathered up his spirits in exchange for a digital scale.

Static was telling me about a friend of his that got a smart watch. The friend told Static “watch this,” and the friend started pushing some buttons. But nothing ever happened, and Static couldn’t help but laugh.

Static: Gahaha! The day I let a watch outsmart me is the day I retire.
Retire from what?

Yesterday, the Nooklings had a spooky treats basket for sale. That’s one of the new Halloween items for 2021.

Tommy: Seems like you're interested in a spooky treats basket.

Kody was camping at the campsite, and he’s another of my buddies from my GameCube town. But for some reason, I don’t think he looks as cute as he does in the older games.

Kody holds a donut at the campsite.

Today (Tuesday), Saharah was in town. I bought a security-monitors wall and a pyramid tile from her. I like them, but I already have them both.

When I visited Static, he said he was going to do a magic trick for me! 🪄

Static: Taught myself a magic trick! Ready? So, right here I got an ordinary handkerchief... Uh, right, um...

But then he realized he didn’t have his handkerchief with him…even though we were at his house! How disappointing.

Static: Guess I forgot to bring it with me. Remind me to do that trick for you some other time, krzzt.
After that performance, I disappeared.

At the plaza, Marina was enjoying a nice shish kabob! But she also had a flea that was also feasting…on Marina. I caught it for her.

Marina, holding a shish kabob: Oh no!

Shortly after that, I ended my night in Forest. See you all next time.

Pumpkin Season

Yesterday, Gulliver sent me a geisha wig in the mail. I also received some mail from Jack; he sent me his portrait, along with a reminder to start saving up candy for Halloween.

Leif was in town, selling pumpkin starts at half-price. I bought a few of them, although I don’t plan on keeping up with them as much as I did last year.

Leif: Since October and Halloween are such close friends, pumpkin starts are on sale for half off!

Wisp was also in Forest, and I gathered up his spirits for him. In return, he gave me a stovetop espresso maker.

Tonight, it was K.K. Slider night. I was surprised to see a pretty good crowd at the plaza, and K.K. performed K.K. Steppe for me, Marina, Eloise, Bones, and Louie. I really enjoyed the show tonight. 🙂

K.K. Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. Steppe?
He really stepped up his performance.

I later gave Static a mini fridge that I bought at Nook’s Cranny. In return, he gave me a simple parka.

Static: No way! You're givin' me... a mini fridge?!
Yeah! You can use it to keep your nuts cool.

I planted five pumpkin starts and watered them, I wished on a couple of shooting stars, and then I wrapped up my game for the night. I haven’t had the motivation for decorating lately. 😛

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!
