Diving with Merka

Lolly told me that her plan for the new year included spending a lot of time with me. Aww, how sweet.

Lolly: It's good to come up with a plan for the year. My plan includes spending a lot of time with you, chap!

She then offered me her skeleton. I guess that’s one way to spend time together, with her skeleton in my pockets.

Lolly: Yay! I was hoping you'd agree, so I brought my skeleton with me.

Later on, Lolly informed me that I have a new reputation: She said I’m a pro listener. I’m okay with that.

Lolly: I hear you're a bit of a pro listener, chap.

Today, I decided to finally dig up the bamboo I had in town. It’s too much of a pain to keep digging up the new bamboo shoots that spread all over.

Rolf told me he was looking to replace his green net. That confused me for a second, because he was actually holding a net…a bug net. But he was talking about a furniture item, not a bug net. 🐞

Rolf: I'm thinking about redecorating my room, and I want to replace my green net. Definitely.

A single-space item was too small, but Harvey had some cornstalks for sale. Rolf was happy with the cornstalks, and he gave me a lawn mower in return.

After depositing some bells at the post office, my account balance reached 116 million bells.

Lolly asked me for an orange, so I checked my storage to see if I had any perfect oranges I could give her. Unfortunately, I was all out. But I saw that Merka was online, and she said she had some perfect oranges I could have. So I opened my gate, and she came over.

Jeff, to Merka: No, are you eating a leaf?

I gave her some perfect peaches in exchange for the oranges. I took an orange back to Lolly, and she loved it! She gave me a basketball hoop in return–definitely not what I was hoping for.

Merka hung out for a bit, and I offered her a sip of my sparkling cider that was left over from New Year’s Eve.

She said it tasted good with the leaf in her mouth. 😂

We went swimming and diving, and she caught some new creatures. As for me, I caught crabs.

After we had some coffee, she needed some lunch. So I ended the party. But it was good to see her again after all this time!

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Kahlium from Twinleaf, Ebony from Duggee, Aurora from Oakwood, and Nick from Kanto. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day! Never Stop Crossing!
