Last Monday (October 12th) was Explorer’s Day, and Isabelle was hanging out at the event plaza. She gave me a sailboat model for the occasion. ⛵

There was also a face-cutout standee for the holiday, so I stuck my face in. Sail away, sail away, sail away. 🎵

Here’s a look at the sailboat model. It’s a pretty cool item, but I didn’t need to keep it. I may have one in storage somewhere anyway.

Today, Aurora asked me to guess what she’s been thinking about. I guessed aliens…and surprisingly, I was right!

She said she would love to be an astronaut and visit other planets. 🪐

At the drive-in campground, I found an average, everyday camper…or at least that’s what she claimed to be. It was Blanca!

She said her current “face” was just makeup, and she admitted she doesn’t really have eyes. But she said she drives just fine! 👀

She even joked that her driving isn’t any worse than most other drivers out on the road! Sadly, that might just be true. 😆

I spoke with Mira by the train station, and she said she likes taking photos around there. But her reason didn’t seem to add up…

But…you can’t see the shopping district from here. That’s a bunch of hare-say that’s inadmissible as evidence. 😛

I mean, even if you stand right by the tracks, you still can’t see the shopping district!

I’ll be back with another entry later this month. 🎃

On Sunday, I found Boots in the “green room” at the aquarium. He threatened to eat me, after being inspired by fish. Probably the piranha. 😉

Hornsby asked me to deliver an item to Lolly (an eight-ball tee that she left at his house), and she thanked me by giving me an orange. 🟠

When I returned to Hornsby, he was already asleep for the night. So I couldn’t tell him the job was done! But I guess it doesn’t matter much, since it’s the recipient (Lolly, in this case) who gives the reward in this game.

When I played tonight, I found M&M hanging out together. Molly was visiting Mira’s house…or is it her spaceship?

When I visited Boots, he was talking about his lullaboid. It looked like it was making him sleepy!

I found a lost item on the ground near the plaza, and it led me back to Boots’s house. He said it was his bag, but it was missing some of the sand that was inside. He thinks someone must’ve grabbed a handful of it and ran off. I’m not sure why they couldn’t just go down to the beach if they wanted some sand. Boots rewarded me with a pear. I guess my villagers are in a fruit-giving mood lately. 🍐

Hornsby wanted to replace his evening cicada with something else, so I caught a cricket for him. He seemed to be happy with it, but it quickly met its fate!

Nah, that was just his catchphrase. But he didn’t reward me with fruit…instead, he gave me the evening cicada that he was replacing. Oh joy.

Do you know what I did with it? A huh huh, I ate it! 😋

Last night, Mira asked me to bring her a piece of fresh fruit.

I gave her a perfect peach, and she rewarded me with an office desk. Outside of the context of Animal Crossing, the idea of trading a piece of fruit for an office desk sounds so ridiculous. 😆

Over at the campsite, Phoebe the phoenix ostrich was camping. Her outfit was fire, and she seems pretty cool. But of course, my town is full.

With some help from my monthly bank account interest, my savings balance has reached 140 million bells.

I played again tonight, and Rolf wanted to play a game of hide-and-seek. He said it’s an intellectual game where we try to read each other’s minds. I’m not quite sure that’s an accurate description, but sure, I’ll play!

He gave me ten minutes to find him, Jeremiah, and Hornsby. Within two minutes, I had found two of them, but the interesting part is where they hid. Jeremiah was hiding behind Rolf’s house…

And then Rolf returned the favor, hiding behind Jeremiah’s house! It’s like they swapped houses for the game! 😆

I later found Hornsby behind a tree near the Roost to secure my victory.

Rolf gave me my prize: A new TV with VCR. What, was a rotary phone not available? 😆

When I walked up to the city, several of my former villagers were hanging out near the entrance. That included Daisy, Bob, Julian, and Lily. 😊
