Like a Tiger

Yesterday, Gulliver was in town, washed up on the beach as usual. I collected his communicator parts and returned them to him.

Tybalt asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “it’s scary,” which I taught him way back in October. 🎃😱 So I told him to say “like a tiger” instead.

Tybalt: Thanks to you, I feel like a new dude. I've been reborn! Like a tiger!

Apollo was saying that I should promote his good ideas, so that they can start inspiring people. This dialogue reminded me of something they’d say in New Leaf when someone would recommend a new public works project (PWP) to the mayor. 😛

Apollo: I bet if you talked up my good ideas to everyone on this island, they'd start gettin' inspired right away!

Last night, Xavier came over to test out my new race. He shared his thoughts with me, and he sent me an item I added to the course. Thanks, Xavier!

Today, I received my reward from Gulliver: He sent me a geisha wig. I snatched it from the letter and put it in storage…even though I can’t imagine ever using it.

Jolly Redd was in town, at the north beach. He had a fake scary painting, a fake famous painting, a scenic painting that looked fake, and a detailed painting I wasn’t sure about. However, the detailed painting was different from the five other detailed paintings I’ve seen in the past. So I thought my odds were pretty good, and I bought it.

Poor Eloise was sick with a cold. Actually, Margie has been sick in my Wild World town lately, so I’m wondering if there’s some elephant disease going around. Perhaps it’s a pachyderm germ, or maybe they just have their trunks in a funk. 😛

Eloise: Ugh... Oof... I feel horrid. Oh no, is the room dimming? Is this the end? Goodbye, cruel world!

I gave her some medicine, and she rewarded me with a baby romper. What, she wants me to dress up as a baby? 😕 At any rate, I hope she starts feeling better soon.

Eloise: I do hope you like it. It's a baby romper.
I’m insulted and I’m leaving. Don’t expect me to come crawling back, either.

Midge is continuing to use her recent catchphrase, saying that it’s good to unexpectedly bump into a friend…in the air.

Midge: It's so good to unexpectedly bump into a friend, in the sky.
That’s something you’ll never hear a pilot say.

Then I worked a bit more on my race course. I probably spent at least half an hour adding a new section that only adds about five seconds of length to the race. 😂 But the final stretch was too basic, and needed to be spiced up a bit.

Speaking of the race, I plan on hosting it Thursday at 5 pm Eastern time for people on Twitter. For more info, see my tweet.

However, I’m probably not going to have Friday Night Forest this week. But I’ll be back with another entry soon!

Burned Water

Last night, Wisp was in town. He gave me a gray-striped wall for collecting and returning his spirits.

Hippeux the hideous, hideous hippo was at the campsite. I was not interested in feeding him. I mean, inviting him to town. Neither of those things.

Hippeux: So far, I like what I'm seeing. 100 percent of Hippeuxs would rate this campground highly.

Today, poor Midge told me that she fell into a pitfall the other day. The worst part is that it took her all morning to climb out of it! 😮

Midge: The other day, I fell into a pit and it took all morning to climb back out.

So she cheered herself up by fishing…in the sky.

Midge: Half my day was ruined! I decided that it might cheer me up to try fishing for a while, in the sky.

When I visited Bones, he told me he’s such a bad cook that he has even burned water!

Bones: One time? I accidentally burned water! A lotta folks don't know you can do that...
You must have been steamed.

Flick was in town, and I had a bunch of bugs in storage to sell him. He gave me 170k for the 31 insects. Summer is the ideal time for Flick; I wish he could show up more often in summer. There are so many bugs to catch and sell!

Flick: Ahem. Can I offer you, say, 170,250 bells for the bunch of them?

Celeste was in town tonight, and at first she didn’t give me anything. But then I realized my pockets were full. Oops. 😛 Once I made room, she gave me a DIY recipe for some sci-fi flooring.

I worked on my race some more, and it’s probably about 98% complete now. It just needs a few cosmetic changes. I’m tentatively planning on revealing more on Wednesday, and then hosting the races possibly on Thursday afternoon (if the weather is sunny in Forest). But the timing is still subject to change.

See you all next time!

Drivin’ Betta

Yesterday, Gullivarrr was washed up on the beach. So I went diving to retrieve his communicator for him.

Today, I did some early afternoon fishing….and you betta believe it paid off! I caught my first betta in the river!

I caught a betta! I betta not drop it!

I donated it to the museum, and there’s only one more fish I need…the golden trout. But I can’t catch it until September, so I can now focus on bugs for the summer.

I neglected to mention this the other day, but you can now find a sunflower crown and a sunflower rug available as seasonal items from Nook Shopping. You have until Monday to order them.

Sunflower crown: 1,560 bells.

When I checked my mail, I found a red sea captain’s coat from Gullivarrr.

At Agent S’s house, Apollo was hanging out with his nose in Agent S’s dollhouse. Literally.

Apollo playing with Agent S's dollhouse.

K.K. Slider was in town for his Saturday night show, so I requested “Drivin’,” which is one of his secret songs.

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

If I’m not mistaken, I just need one more song that I’ll probably request next week.

I’ve finished removing what was left of my Mario obstacle course this weekend, and I’ve made significant progress on my new race. In fact, it’s probably 80-85% done. And it will be a race, not an obstacle course. It’s going to be simple, but hopefully it will still be fun. I’m hoping to have the race one day next week. If you’re on Twitter, follow jvgsjeff for more info when the time comes.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
