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. ðŸ¤
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.
