Zen Bell

Last night, Wendy came over briefly to shop. We noticed that her bunny balloon passed right through the awning of the Able Sisters’ shop. If you look at it the right way, it almost looks like a smiley face.

Aurora: OK, the move is off! You're right. I just can't picture a new life without my old friends in it!I talked to Molly, and she said something very strange. She said that a sea bass is the most beautiful fish in the world! She must have been feeling sick or something. But she asked me to catch a sea bass for her, so I agreed to help.

Molly: The other day, I saw a picture of a sea bass. It's the most beautiful fish in the world!I went into the police station to ask Copper what was going on in town. He told me that a stylish giraffe was at the event plaza. That means Gracie’s here! I also took a look at some items in the lost and found, and I took this gray tartan tee. After being Mario for a while, I needed a change. So I think I’ll wear this for a while.

Trying on the gray tartan tee I got in the lost and found at the police station.I then made my way over to my brick bridge. And I saw that my new zen bell PWP is now completed! I have also updated my town page to include the zen bell.

My new zen bell PWP!After ringing the zen bell a few times, I made my way around to the event plaza. Gracie was there, and she was demanding an ornate look for her fashion check today.

Gracie, telling me today's theme for the fashion check: Absolutely ornate!I checked my list of clothing I have in storage and I got a bit worried. I only had two ornate items, a noble shirt and royal shorts.  And I know that Gracie’s fashion checks require an accessory and shoes. So I went up to Main Street to see if the Able Sisters or Kicks had any ornate items for sale today. They didn’t. But I bought a knight’s helmet anyway. It was worth a try, I figured. I kept my usual socks and shoes on (dress socks and black loafers). I returned to Gracie, and she wasn’t exactly thrilled with my outfit. But still, she reluctantly passed me!

Gracie: I suppose you did your best, honey. And for that, I'll be kind enough to let you pass for today!She rewarded me by giving me this cyan argyle shirt:

Trying on the cyan argyle shirt I got from Gracie.This is my second passed fashion check, and I only need two more to get the final store expansion. I hope she returns again soon.

Today, I got a gem rock instead of a money rock. It included a ruby…so I thought I would try customizing a polka-dot sofa with the ruby. This is the final result, courtesy of Cyrus.

The polka-dot sofa customized with a ruby.I don’t plan on keeping it. I think I need to modify some furniture with emeralds instead. Unfortunately, the gem rock didn’t give me any emeralds today, but I’m going to do that next time.

As I walked along, Teddy “pinged” me from between the bamboo trees. He looked kind of creepy…I almost expected him to offer me candy. Instead, he offered me a security tee.

Teddy, peering through the bamboo: You're into stuff like this, right?I accepted his gift and quickly moved along. I saw Tabby, and she told me about how dumb she is. She wondered why it was so dark this morning, until she realized she went to sleep with her sunglasses on. I was not surprised that she would do something like that.

Tabby: I wore my sunglasses to bed. Dumb, right?
You said it.

As I wrapped up my time in Forest for the day, I remembered that I still needed a sea bass for Molly. So I went out to the ocean to catch it for her. Once I tracked Molly down again, I gave it to her and she rewarded me with a tan puffy vest. But the important thing is that I made her aquatic dreams come true. Even if they sound like aquatic nightmares to me.

Molly: Hey! You've made my aquatic dream come true!
