Month: July 2025

On Monday, I visited Rolf to find that Lolly was also visiting. But her dialogue was a bit confusing, especially out of context.

Mira asked me for some new furniture, saying anything would do. So I decided to shop around and buy something special for her.

I took the moss ball over to Mira, and she seemed to like it. But even if she didn’t like it, I’m sure it’ll grow on her.

The most surprising part of this exchange was my reward. She gave me a cyclommatus stag! That’s an 8,000-bell reward! For a moss ball! Wow!

Yesterday, Jeremiah asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me ten minutes to find him, Mira, and Molly. I found Jeremiah pretty much instantly.

About two minutes later, I found Mira trying to hide behind the zen bell.

And shortly after that, I found Molly behind Jeremiah’s house. They all stayed on the eastern side of the map, so I didn’t have trouble finding them all in less than three minutes total.

My prize for winning the game was…a mop. Real exciting, huh? It’s okay though, I didn’t let it dampen my spirits.

I later gave the mop to Mira when she asked me for furniture (again). She gave me a lovely table in return.

During the game of hide-and-seek, I found a lost item on the ground. I eventually returned it to its owner, Boots. He said it was his pole-vaulting glove! Yeah, I don’t think he could pole vault without some help. In fact, he’d need a lot of gator aid.

He said it was still damp from his hand sweat? Okay, that’s kinda gross.

He rewarded me with a foosball table.

Today, my old buddy Rod was camping out at the campsite.

It was nice to see him again, but of course I don’t have a vacancy in my town.

On July 14th, Freckles ducked into town for some camping. My town is full of course, but it was nice just having her around for a day.

Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about Niagara Falls and maple syrup, so I knew he was headed to Canada. After I correctly answered his question, he started talking about his fashion choices.

He even floated the idea of dressing as a cowboy instead of a sailor!

That would be funny if he actually was a cowboy in a future game! Maybe he could show up on a horse or something. Maybe his cowboy name could be Galloper. 🤠

Anyway, he sent me a dream catcher in the mail the next day.

Cube asked me for a horned hercules (beetle), so I tried searching for one. Unfortunately, I only had half an hour before Cube went to sleep, and I was unable to find one in that span. The following day (last Wednesday), he had another tough request for me: a Raja Brooke butterfly. It took me nearly an hour, but I finally caught one for him.

When I took it back to him, he only rewarded me with a stove!

After 90+ minutes of hunting for rare catches over two days, I was boiling mad that he didn’t give me his photo! 😛 I wanted to push him in the oven like Hansel and Gretel. 😆 But on the bright side, I did catch several other valuable bugs during that stretch…and I shot down at least four balloon presents too.

On Friday (July 18th), I returned a lost item to Molly. She must’ve been feeling down after losing it. But she was grateful that I found it…in a pond. It wasn’t actually in a pond, but whatever floats your boat. 😛

She rewarded me with a mango.

Today, Inkwell asked me to return something to Lolly. I knew it would be an easy request, considering we were standing right by her house!

Inside, I gave Lolly the item, which was a teacher’s desk. Except, she didn’t give me a reward, and neither did Inkwell when I went back outside! This is another small detail that annoys me about New Leaf; occasionally, they don’t reward you for favors.

Grizzly was camping at the campsite today, and he almost looked cute today! But he’s not someone that I would invite into town, even if I had room.

Tonight, I went on a 45-minute bug-hunting and fishing session, which I split between my beach and the island.

After racking up around 200k, I sold my catches and put some bells into the bank. I was able to bump up my balance to 135 million bells.
