Calm Bones

On Sunday, I ran up to Ketchup to chat with her. As the camera zoomed in, it placed me and Ketchup between vertical columns of fire. Maybe I’m just easily amused, but I thought it looked pretty cool. 😆

Ketchup: Oh, sweetkins! I'm bottled up!
Ketchup is going to end up with some grill lines.

On Tuesday, I found Wisp in my Zelda obstacle course! Well specifically, he was on the divider that I use to follow the action. He always seems to pick awkward places to hang out.

Wisp hangs out between two moons on my obstacle course.

Once I found and returned his spirits, Wisp rewarded me with a desktop mic.

Today, Jolly Redd was in town. He had a color variation of a retro ice-cream case that I needed in my catalog, so I bought it. I just wish I could sample the ice cream…

Redd: The charm and elegance of the very finest oolong tea, wrapped up into a retro ice-cream case...

Bones kept going on and on about how “perfect” my vertical banner was. Could it be because it has bones on it? Maybe he wants to dig a hole and bury them. 😛

Bones: I have got nothing to say about the vertical banner. It's...it's perfect.

He tried to explain himself, saying he wasn’t being silly. He was just being…calm?

Bones: I'm not being silly. I'm just...real calm right now, at the Depot. Real calm.

Nah, you’re just being weird. But that’s okay, Bones. Weird can be good.

Just a few other quick notes about the past several days:

  • Static was sick on Monday, so I gave him some medicine. In return, he gave me a printed-sleeve sweater.
  • I helped Gullivarrr out, and he sent me a pirate barrel on Tuesday.
  • On Tuesday, I found two rare mushrooms, both in the same part of town (highest cliff level in the northwest).
  • Yesterday, I sold 11 bugs (mostly wasps) to Flick for 55,500 bells.

If Buildings Could Talk

When I came out of Resident Services last night, I saw a speech bubble saying “What to do, what to do?” It looked as if the Resident Services building itself was asking that!

Resident Services building, apparently: What to do, what to do?

But it turned out to just be Midge, who was standing behind the building. She had been wondering if I wanted a whiteboard. It was free, so I accepted the gift.

Midge: Is it true that you've been looking for a whiteboard?

But really though, what would the Resident Services building say, if it could talk? Here are a few possibilities:

  • “Life was simpler when I was just a tent.”
  • “How can I get Tom Nook out of me?”
  • “Nobody realizes how much Isabelle snores at night!”

Let me know what you think the building would say in a comment below! 🙂

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in a theatrical outfit. She gave me a morning coat to use as an example, but I went with my usual: I dressed up as a pirate. Label loved the outfit, and she rewarded me with a Labelle cap.

Label: ...A Labelle cap, you see. It's from my brand. I'd love for you to have it.

Agent S also acknowledged my pirate outfit, and she wondered if I would be speaking like a pirate too.

Agent S: Nice pirate getup! So, are you talking like a pirate as well as dressing like one? That's totes a thing, you know.
Arrr, of course I be!

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town for his Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he bared his soul…by performing K.K. Soul. Ketchup, Agent S, and Ankha were also at the show.

K.K. Slider performs for Ketchup, Jeff, Ankha, and Agent S.

Up at the campsite, Henry the frog was camping. He seems nice, but I wasn’t interested in asking him to move in. Especially since he didn’t offer me part of his sandwich. 😉

Henry: See you around!

See you next time!

An Eye for Mushrooms

I recently updated the dream version of Forest, for the first time since last winter! So if you’d like to check out the current state of Forest, including my Halloween decorations and Zelda obstacle course, head on over to dream address 6717-1633-3682.

On Sunday, I bought 1,800 turnips from Daisy Mae for 97 bells apiece. On Tuesday morning, I sold them for almost double that price: 187 bells. That helped my savings account balance reach 71 million bells.

Savings Balance: 71,020,000 bells.

I ran into Pascal while diving on Monday, and he had some words of wisdom about not making mountains out of molehills.

Pascal: They say not to make mountains outta molehills. But if you're making mountains, can you be that picky?

Even though Tuesday was Halloween, I did not participate in the festivities this year. At least not in New Horizons; I did play some City Folk, though.

Yesterday marked the beginning of November, and mushrooms can now be found on our islands. Isabelle reminded me that they can also be used for crafting, since I’m just so used to selling them immediately.

Isabelle: Of course they're delicious, but don't forget they can also be used in the occasional DIY project.

But you will want to sell the rare mushrooms, which are worth 16,000 bells apiece. Keep an eye out for them.

Look: I dug up a rare mushroom!

A few quick notes about the special visitors lately:

  • Last Saturday, Gullivarrr sent me another pirate outfit.
  • K.K. Slider performed K.K. Western for me, Rio, and Ankha.
  • I helped Gulliver yesterday, and he sent me yet another sombrero today. I don’t know why he sends so many of these.
