Fireworks Festival 2023

On Wednesday, Pascal was standing on the shore. When I spoke to him, he wondered what would happen to a sailfish that didn’t know how to sail. 😛

Pascal: You ever wonder what happens to a sailfish that doesn't know to sail?
I guess it would either sink or swim.

Yesterday, Goose wanted to sell me a classic bed for 3,000 bells…and I was obviously not interested. He got mad, saying I’m supposed to buy it off him because I’m his friend.

Goose: Huh?! Why the heck not?! You're my bud! You're supposed to buy it off me!
Wrong on both counts.

Tonight, the fireworks festival was underway. Mayor Tortimer was standing outside of town hall, and he gave me a sparkler and a Roman candle.

Tortimer: Tonight, Forest will have a fireworks show. So please take this, sprout.

Eloise was hanging out around there too, and she said that listening to fireworks relieves her stress.

Eloise: Just listening to the fireworks jolts away a week's worth of stress.

Really? A bunch of never-ending, loud, Earth-shaking explosions right above your head makes you less stressed? 🤔

But no doubt the fireworks are a pretty sight to behold. As pixelated as they may be at this resolution. 😉

Fireworks explode during the fireworks festival.

Dotty, however, did not seem to share Eloise’s sentiment. 😆

Dotty: Huh?! What?! WHAT?!
With ears that big, you’d think she could hear me.

Goose was all packed up and ready to move out…and I decided to let him go. He’s been annoying me lately. I guess I’m not a fan of jocks in Wild World, even though I like them in most of the other games.

Goose: Looks like it's gonna be an epic tourney, so I'm just gonna go ahead and move!
So long, Goose.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Rockabilly for me.

Before wrapping up my game for the night, I went bug-hunting for about ten minutes. The fireworks and festive atmosphere provide a nice backdrop for bug hunting. 🙂

Update: I posted a full gameplay video of yesterday’s session:

See you next time!
