Summoning Mira

On Sunday, I did something I probably haven’t done in years: I popped a balloon with my net.

Jeff pops a balloon present with a net, as Jeremiah watches.

Unfortunately, it only had a balloon floor inside.

Over by the statue fountain, I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground.

I picked up a lost item!

I briefly got excited when Cube told me it belonged to him…but he only rewarded me with a royal shirt. Not his photo. What a royal pain. 😛

Today, I visited Molly and she asked me to bring Mira over to her house. As soon as I walked outside, I found Mira right there! I love easy requests. 😆

Mira: What?! I'm being summoned?!

So we made the long, three-foot trek to Molly’s house and went inside.

Mira walks inside of Molly's door.

Once inside, Mira asked Molly what was so important that she had to drag her “all the way” over to her house. 😛

Mira: What d'ya need, Molly? It had better be important to drag me all the way over here.

Molly just wanted to return Mira’s pineapple bed that she borrowed. Who borrows a bed?

Molly: I just wanted to return your pineapple bed to you in case you needed it for something.
For sleeping. The “something” is sleeping.

Mira took the item back, and she quickly went on her way.

Mira's ears are visible as Mira leaves Molly's house.

Anyway, Molly rewarded me with a weight bench for helping her out.

Jeremiah said there was a rumor going around that he had a world-famous mixing bowl collection. I guess his supposed collection is bowling everyone over. 😛

Jeremiah: But now there's a rumor going around that I have a world-famous mixing bowl collection!

Lolly asked me for some furniture, and I gave her a tall oombloid. She seemed to like it.

Lolly: A tall oombloid! Oh my!

In return, she gave me a bunk bed. What’s with everyone passing around beds today?

Gulliver was down on the beach, and he was talking about curry and the Taj Mahal.

Gulliver: I want to go there just to try all the food they have to offer! Yum curry! Yum naan! Yum veggie korma!

I knew he was headed to India, so he will send me a gift from there next time.

After selling my fossils and unwanted gifts, I returned home. But Rolf barged in to visit with me. He asked me an odd question…

Rolf: Do you use one of those things? Those vroom-vroom thingies? Those scare the heck out of me!
A vacuum? Maybe I should use one to keep visitors away. 😛

He gave me a typewriter before making his escape. See you next time!

Moldy Reward

Last Tuesday (September 16th), Mira supposedly quoted a movie by saying “You’re no match for my saw shark tail attack!”

Mira: Check it out. You're no match for my saw shark tail attack! Best. Movie. Line. Ever!

As interesting as that sounds, she was really just asking me to catch a saw shark for her. I politely declined the request.

Axel the elephant was camping at the campsite for (at least) the 2nd time. He’s kinda cute, but my town is full anyway.

Axel, at the campsite: Hey! Do you think it's OK if I camp here for a while?

I found a lost item (a mitten) on the ground, and I returned it to Hornsby. However, the reward he gave me was not very appealing.

Hornsby: Here's a thank-you gift for your trouble. I hope you like it. It's a moldy shirt!
I’m getting the impression that he didn’t want the mitten back.

As I was using the CAT machine outside of town hall, I witnessed a balloon present alter its path. It was traveling west to east, but then it took a sharp turn north (to go around my flower clock) before turning again to the east!

Thanks for using your local CAT machine!
Thanks for using your local CAT machine!

Gulliver was down on the beach, and he was talking about eating some hot-and-spicy kimchi. He also mentioned tae kwon do, so I knew he was headed to South Korea. (Need a Gulliver Guide?)

Gulliver: I was headed to a country where people tend to eat a lot of hot-and-spicy kimchi! Super spicy!

The next day, he sent me a samgyetang in the mail.

Yesterday (September 20th), the Bug-Off was held. I again played too late to participate, but I saw on the bulletin board that Jeremiah was the winner. Congrats, Jeremiah!

~Bug-Off Results~ The winner of the Bug-Off was Jeremiah, 56 Pts. 2nd: Lolly, 50 Pts. 3rd: Boots, 37 Pts.

Over on my central bridge, Cube was standing at an angle when he inquired about my samgyetang.

Cube: Oh, wow! What are you doing with a samgyetang?

He wanted it, and he said he’d give me a mint shirt in return. I somewhat reluctantly agreed to the trade. 😛

Today, I returned a lost item to its owner, Inkwell. It was his missing magazine.

Inkwell: Oh, YES! I freaked out when I lost my latest Sweatpants Monthly!

I bet he could work for a printing company if he wanted. After all, I’ve heard he can ink well.

Rolf asked me for some furniture to replace his spade tee, so I bought a lucky frog at the Emporium for him. He initially called it an excellent choice…

Rolf: Oh! A lucky frog! Excellent choice of furniture!

But then he said it’s something that has to be displayed on a table. Oops.

Rolf: But this sorta thing is the kind of thing you gotta display on a table or some such, huh...?

However, he wasn’t actually turning it down. He still accepted it, he just wanted to complain about it a bit. 😆 He rewarded me with a lovely wall.

Boots asked me for a house centipede, so I had to make a few trips around town to bang some rocks. I eventually caught what I needed, and Boots was happy. He gave me a jungle-camo tee in return.

Boots: It's a jungle-camo tee! You deserve a reward!

That’s all for now, but I’ll be back again with another entry by the end of the month. Never Stop Crossing!
