Margie’s Twinkle

Victoria was all packed up and ready to move out of town, but I talked her out of it. It only took one try, which was nice for a change. 😛

Mathilda asked me to make a delivery to Margie, and she only gave me ten minutes to do it. And it nearly took me that long to find her, too. But I made the delivery in time, and Margie seriously loved her gift, a twinkle shirt.

Margie: Woo hoo! Yes! YEEEEES! All my life I've been wanting a twinkle shirt!
That may be the strongest reaction to a delivery I’ve ever seen.

When I told Mathilda the job was complete, she gave me a stone tile. I was a bit less excited than Margie.

Kabuki was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him. He started to feel better right away.

Kabuki: Oh! I'm feelin' pretty dang good all of a sudden! Thanks, J-puff!

I saw Dr. Shrunk was in town, but I didn’t even bother talking to him. I guess I just had an axolotl on my mind.

I collected and sold some fruit to make some bells. But it also helped that I caught a hammerhead shark and goliath beetle. I ended up making about 80k on the night. That was enough to put my savings up to a million bells, so I made another 7-figure donation to Boondox.

Phyllis: 1,000,000 bells?

If I’m not mistaken, I still need to donate two million more bells before I’m done with Boondox forever. That’s still going to take a while.

Pascal was in town today, and he was wondering if Tom Nook sells land legs! I don’t think that’s how it works. 😉

Pascal: Oh, maaaannn...I wonder if that dude Nook sells land legs.

He then offered to share some wisdom with me. He said that one man’s loss is another otter’s lunch.

Pascal: One man's loss is another otter's lunch, maaannn.

Before jumping off into the sea, he handed me a ship compass.

When I visited Victoria, she thanked me for the medicine I gave her last time. As a reward, she gave me a trash bin.

Victoria: OK, here you go! Trash bin!

I then delivered a letter from Benedict to Antonio, and Ben rewarded me with 520 bells.

Mathilda surprised me by giving me her picture! She said now everyone will think I have a crush on her.

Mathilda: Now everyone will think you've got a crush on me! Tee hee hee!

It’s just ridiculous how easy it is to get villager photos in this game, compared to New Leaf and New Horizons. I wasn’t even trying to get her pic, I only play once a week, and I rarely do any favors for her. Yet, here’s her pic, just like that. I put it in my house with the others. Her favorite quote is “Blood is thicker than water.”

I made sure to sell all the fruit I left on the ground last time. I also harvested a bunch more fruit. In total, I earned about 120,000 bells on the day. Next week, I should have enough for another million-bell donation to Boondox (assuming Nook’s isn’t closed by the time I play). 😛

Caution, Mummy

Wendell the starving artist (and walrus) was in town tonight. I caught a sea bass and gave it to the hungry little guy. In return, he gave me a caution pattern.

Wendell: Oh, so very happy! Suh-soo very gratified! Caution pattern!

This is what it looks like:

Benedict was all packed up and ready to move out of town, but I got him to reconsider.

Nookington’s had a spotlight product available today, and it was a mummy’s casket. That’s not a painting like I was hoping for, but it is pretty cool…so I spent the 3,520 bells to buy it.

Tommy: You have a keen eye! That's our spotlight product...the mummy's casket!

Since the store was about to close in less than 15 minutes, I decided to gather and sell as much foreign fruit as I could in that span. But after the shop closed, I didn’t stop gathering until I had picked every apple and pear tree in town. So I still have a bunch of fruit waiting to be sold the next time I play. 🍎🍐

A bunch of apples and pears on the ground outside of Nookington's, waiting to be sold.

Just a few other notes about tonight’s play session:

  • Victoria was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine.
  • I delivered a green vest from Antonio to Big Top. Antonio rewarded me with 520 bells.
  • I shook some trees and got a flying saucer and a reel-to-reel from them.
