Loading Up On Turnips

Last night, I finally got Rolf to ping me. He was going to move out on August 26th, but of course I changed his mind for him.

Rolf: Oh, you're gonna try and stop me?!And this morning, I tracked down Joan so that I could buy some turnips. She was selling them for 108 bells each, which is high, but I still bought 3,100 of them as planned. That’s enough to fill the three pages of my storage that I’ve cleared out, plus one bundle to keep in my pockets. That one will serve as a reminder that I need to keep checking turnip prices all week.

Joan: The asking price is 108 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?Near my house, I found a gem rock. Unfortunately, my Re-Tail is still full of gems from last time, so I just left these here for now.

My haul from the gem rock.I somehow offended Sprinkle, without even trying. She said I looked surprised that she had a shower. I just figured she would run through a sprinkler instead.

Sprinkle: Uh...you look kinda surprised that I have a shower.It was quite a sunny day in Forest, and Octavian seemed to be enjoying it. I actually thought he’d prefer rain.

Octavian: How about this weather, huh? It's like the sun's take a...shine...to us! You get it? Sucker!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Pikachu from the town of Pancake was my most recent dream visitor. That’s an interesting combination.

After the sun went down, I returned to my game to watch some fireworks.

Watching fireworks from the dock.I spoke with Octavian again, and he told me he enjoyed fireworks more than he could explain.

Octavian: When I see a really huge firework, I can't help but smile. I don't have a good reason. I just like fireworks.I also talked with Isabelle, who was hanging out at the event plaza. She gave me a flower bopper to wear.

Isabelle: When you wear that flower bopper, you'll shine just as bright as the fireworks!I put it on and enjoyed some more of the fireworks. Here you can also see my town tree.

Fireworks, my town tree, Isabelle, and Crazy Redd's stand.I finished up my night by giving away five pink roses to MistyIce. I delivered them to her town Tia Time.

Visiting MistyIce's town.I didn’t open my gate tonight, but I will be opening next Sunday (August 31st) for the final fireworks festival of the year.
