Party, Festivale

On Saturday, I found a scallop while diving. Pascal popped up and started talking about…gnats? 😛

Pascal: We did gnats dirty. Didn't even let 'em suggest a better name. We were like, Gnat. Then they were gnats.

It was the Chinese New Year, so all of my villagers were talking about that. Ketchup even said she could hear the lunar beat…whatever that means. 😆

Ketchup: It's the Lunar New Year, and I totes hear that lunar beat!

A bit after 10:00 p.m., I headed over to Logan’s town Moonscar for his Valentine’s Day/Festivale party. I was the first to arrive, but we were soon joined by Nami, Sam, Matthew, and Jesse. Matthew realized that the Miranda in Logan’s town was his former villager. Meanwhile, I gave Sam a slice of strawberry.

After we cycled through our wand outfits about 200 times, we headed over to Logan’s house. His main room was decorated for winter and Valentine’s Day, and it looked really good.

After everyone talked about how weird I am, we headed into Logan’s leaky bathroom. Logan used the “dripdrop” polishing effect on his sink and toilet, so it looked like he was in desperate need of a plumber. 😛

Xavier came over, and we moved from Logan’s toilet bowl to his Super Bowl… watching room.

Logan kidnapped us all and locked us up in his gyroid/backyard room. So Nami and I tried to lock Logan up with his own crabs. He broke free rather easily, though. 😛

Logan wanted to play some museum tag next, so we headed there. Nami was the last to arrive, and Logan asked where she was. She said she was busy, which I thought meant she had planted pitfalls outside for us to fall into later. 😆 So when Logan went out to count, I followed him…hoping to see him fall into a hole. Sadly, there were none, so I returned inside to hide. 😛

I hid in the aquarium section during the first round, and I didn’t get caught. For the 2nd game, Nami was seeking, and I hid in the bug room. For some reason, I didn’t think she caught me, but she did. I knew she said “gotcha” to someone, but I didn’t realize it was me until I watched back my footage. Sorry, Nami!

In the third and final round, Sam was seeking, and he found most (or all?) of us…including me (barely). 😛 We then got some coffee, and then went back outside for a group photo.

And before Logan ended the session, we saw a few performances by K.K. Slider. I had a good time at the party, so thanks to Logan and everyone who came. 🙂

Yesterday was Festivale, and I fully participated this year. Since it snowed the day before, I first went around town cleaning up new flower buds…stopping to catch any feathers I saw along the way. That let me build up a nice stockpile by the time I spoke with Pavé.

Pave: IT IS TIME... PAVE DANCES NOW!

Giving feathers to Pavé is a slow process. He has a lot of dialogue (and dancing) each time. But seeing Louie parade around provided some entertainment in the meantime. 😆

I went through two full cycles, meaning a total of 20 trades. That meant two more Festivale floats for me.

And after that, I even caught some more feathers to use for customizations. In all, I went through four nets on the day!

After not seeing Ankha during that whole time, I finally found her dancing alone in Sudden Valley. 😆

Ankha: Oh, pardon my exuberance. I just think this is a fabulous holiday. An excuse to dance and caper!

Today, Saharah was in town. I purchased some mysterious wallpaper and flooring from her; they turned out to be a rock-climbing wall and circuit-board flooring. I kept the latter, and put it into storage.

I hope you all had a good Festivale! I’ll see you next time. 🙂

Open, Says Me

Last Saturday, I sold some turnips in Xavier’s town for 142 bells each. It had been looking like I was going to have to take a loss on them for the week, so that really helped out. Thanks, Xavier! I’m now over halfway to my turnip goal (5.27 million out of 10 million). 🙂

Xavier got Rolf recently, and he let me visit my favorite white tiger. I really like his mountainous home, and I can already picture him living up on my former Eagle Mountain (now Bird’s Nest), even though he’s not a bird. 😛

Yesterday, Louie asked if I was interested in a treasure hunt game, and I agreed to play. He gave me six minutes to find the buried item, and I found it with plenty of time (4:43) remaining. But as he was about to open the gift, he said “Open, says me.”

Louie: Open, says me.

He was apparently confusing the phrase “Open Sesame” with “open, says me.” 😆 The treasure turned out to be some rhinestone shades.

Charlise the green bear was camping at the campsite today. This was her 2nd visit as a camper; she also camped here last July 13th–the same day Bob moved in.

Charlise, at the campsite: Oh! Hope I'm not interrupting you or nothin'.
Nah, I just wish I got better campers. 😛

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

  • K.K. performed K.K. Waltz for me last Saturday.
  • Wisp gave me a ranch bed on Sunday.
  • I helped out Gullivarrr on Wednesday, and he sent me a pirate’s hat yesterday.
  • My savings balance reached 79 million bells today.

As a reminder, Festivale is coming up on Monday. I’ll be posting a new Festivale Guide over the weekend. Update: Here it is: ACNH Festivale Guide.

Screaming in Circles

Last Saturday, I found Bones taking a nap up on Rainbow Road! How cute! 🥺

On Monday, I found Faith camping at the campsite. This is the 2nd time she has camped here! She’s not the first one to do that, though: Rocket camped here twice too, with her 2nd visit coming just about five weeks ago.

Faith, camping at the campsite: Oh! Hope I'm not interrupting you or nothi'. I'm just out here campin'!

Even though Faith is my favorite koala, I didn’t ask her to move in.

Tuesday, Rio told me of her unusual morning routine. When she has trouble waking up, she screams and runs in circles for a few minutes! 😆

Rio: Sometimes, when I can't wake up in the morning, I run in circles and scream really loud for a few minutes!
That would be hilarious to see.

Yesterday, Bob was sick with a cold. I bought some medicine for him and took it over to him. He thanked me by giving me a desert outfit.

Bob: Huh... That doesn't taste like snacks, but it doesn't taste bad either!

Gulliver was in town, and I helped him out by retrieving his phone parts. In return, he sent me a Stonehenge today.

I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground today. The description sounded like it belonged to a lazy villager, so I tried giving it to Punchy. I was right! He thanked me for returning it, and he gave me another copy of his photo. Thanks, Punchy!

Punchy: Ya like it?! It's Punchy's photo!

A message bottle on the beach surprised me by giving me a food recipe I didn’t have yet! Tomato juice!

YUM! Now I can make some tomato juice!

So of course I just had to give it to Ketchup. 😆

Ketchup: Yummy times comin' my way! Thanks so much, catch up!

She was looking forward to eating it, and she thanked me with a plain do-rag.

Have a great weekend!
