Duck, No Cover

On Wednesday, Leonardo the lion was camping out at the campsite. He wanted to play a game with me, but it involved me buying something from him (potentially at a high price), so I declined the request.

Leonardo, at the campsite: Oh noooo! This is such a fun game to play...

On Thursday, Molly asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek with her. She assured me that she was really good at hiding.

Molly: It might surprise you, but I'm quite good at hiding!

She gave me 15 minutes to find her, Rolf, and Inkwell.

Molly: If you can find all of us within 15 minutes, you win!

But within seconds, I had already found Molly! The starting banner hadn’t even disappeared off-screen yet. And Molly was the one that was so sure she was good at hiding! I guess she quacked under the pressure.

I spotted Molly seconds after the game began.
The duck forgot to cover.

Since I had a lot of time to search, I took my time and stopped to catch an eel over near Lolly’s house. But I spotted something else in the background…Inkwell!

I caught an eel! Things just got REAL! 47.20 in.
Seconds later, I also caught a big orange squid.

And with 11 and a half minutes still on the timer, I found Rolf trying to hide behind the instrument shelter! That was still a quick win, even though I wasn’t rushing. They were just really bad at hiding this time. 😆

Molly gave me a kiwi stool as my prize for winning.

Molly: to thank you for playing with us, we're giving you a kiwi stool!

Hornsby approached me and told me that he spent all of his money on a chocolate fountain. Easy to do. 😆

Hornsby: So, uh, cupcake. I spent the last of my pocket money on a chocolate fountain.

He wanted me to buy it for 1,760 bells. I meant to say no, but I guess I clicked the wrong thing and ended up buying it anyway. Oh well.

Yesterday, Hornsby sent me a racer 6 tee in the mail. I decided to put it on, just to wear something different.

Cube wanted me to visit his house, so we had to schedule a time (6 p.m.). I don’t normally agree to these, but I make exceptions when I still need a villager’s photo.

Cube: Yo, Mr. J! This is short notice, but wanna come see my place?

Moments later, Cube asked for a new catchphrase. I told him to say “it froze,” although that choice hasn’t paid off just yet.

I shook a nearby tree, and a bathtub fell out! Oops! I hope it didn’t belong to Agent S or some other squirrel who lived up there. 😛

When 6:00 rolled around, I ran over to Cube’s house.

Cube: Welcome to my home! I hope you like it as much as I do, it froze.

He didn’t give me any gifts, but he did ask if I wanted to buy anything. I ultimately bought his astro CD player for 2,150 bells. After ten minutes of pointless, repetitious chat and standing around, I left.

This morning, Cube sent me a letter talking about my visit yesterday. He sent me a gift, but it was just an hourglass. Clearly he’s mocking me for all the time (the years, really) that I’ve been trying to earn his photo. 😛 ⏳

Jeremiah seemed like he wasn’t fully awake yet. He said the sun was so bright that it felt like lasers were shooting into his brain. Maybe he had a late night of club-hopping. 😛

Jeremiah: Plus, the sun is so bright, it feels like lasers are shooting directly into my brain, hip hop.

Tonight, I made a rare trip up to Club LOL. K.K. Slider was around, so I asked him for a random song. He performed “Only Me” for me, Hamlet, and Hippeux.

K.K. Slider performs for Hippeux, Jeff, and Hamlet, as the game credits roll.

(Well actually, Dr. Shrunk was in the back shaking his booty too.) 😆
