Lolly’s catchphrase has continued to provide some entertaining moments in recent weeks.
Rolf also asked for a new catchphrase last week, so I told him to say “at death.”
Today was the Summer Solstice, the day of the midnight sun. I played about 10:30 p.m., but as you can see, it was still bright and sunny. I headed over to the event plaza to get my gift from Isabelle…except Isabelle looked a bit different today.
The Bug-Off was also held today, so that explains Nat’s appearance at the plaza. But still, where was Isabelle? I was confused. Regardless, I stuck my face in the cutout hole for a photo. 😛
But moments later, everything made more sense. I found Isabelle standing outside of town hall!
It felt weird seeing her here for an event! But I spoke with her, and she gave me some ladder shades. 😎
The indoor villagers were talking about the Summer Solstice, and Hornsby wondered if dinner should still be called dinner.
And my outdoor villagers were talking about the Bug-Off. But since I didn’t play between the hours of 6-9 p.m., the awards ceremony was cancelled. Boots and Jeremiah were bummed out about that.
This may be nitpicky, but this is one small thing I hate about New Leaf. Animal Crossing has always pushed the idea that town life goes on whether you’re playing or not. So to cancel an event just because I didn’t play within a specific three-hour window annoys me. I did see on the bulletin board that Inkwell won the event with a 41-point bug, but there’s no reason to guilt players who missed the ceremony.
Anyway, I put on my ladder shades and posed for one last photo of the night. Have a bright night, everyone! ☀️
