Boots Fruits

When I played on Sunday, I found a letter from Gulliver in the mail. He sent me a sitar from his visit to India. I also had a letter from Jack, who sent me a bug mask. I decided to wear it for October.

While walking near Lolly’s house, I spotted a balloon present from across the river.

A balloon present floats by.

I tracked it down and found a balloon closet inside.

Monday was Explorer’s Day, and Isabelle was standing at the plaza to hand out sailboat models for the occasion.

Isabelle: It's a sailboat model! With it, you can really get into the excitement of Explorer's Day!

Of course, there was also a face-cutout standee for the holiday. I stuck my face though it, even though I was still wearing my bug mask. I’m an explorer and a bug.

I took the sailboat model home and put it on display. I had an empty spot there next to Wisp’s lamp anyway.

Today, Boots told me that he did 10,000 squats this morning!

Boots: I'm so tired today... The 10,000 squats I've done since this morning have really caught up with me.

He needed some fruit to recover, so I gave him a perfect peach. He enjoyed it, and he rewarded me with a lovely love seat.

When I spoke with Molly, who was also in the same area (as you can see in that previous screenshot), she had a request for me: She had a gift for Boots, and she wanted me to deliver it to him!

Molly hands me a gift to give to Boots, as Boots stands right behind me.

That was an easy delivery. 😛 The gift was a jagged tank, which Boots put on right away. He rewarded me with his cherry. 🍒

Boots: OK, it's token-of-appreciation time! My cherry is all you, money!

But that raises an interesting question. If he already had a cherry, why was he so desperate for fruit a few moments before? 😛

Anyway, I found Al the gorilla over at the campsite. I’ve been seeing him lately in “Mario’s” ACCF town of Mushroom. (Keep an eye out for a new episode of Mario Plays ACCF soon.) But I have no room for him here.

Al, at the campsite: You're from this town, aren't you?

Back outside, Jeremiah was talking about the foods of fall.

Jeremiah: Fall is all about gathering mushrooms, digging up potatoes, and picking pumpkins.
You can only do one of those things in New Leaf, though you can do them all in New Horizons.

He called autumn the “snackiest” season. 😛

Jeremiah: It's really the snackiest of all the seasons, hip hop.

Cube asked to visit my house, so we arranged a time. He did show up one minute late, but I’ll forgive him this time. I showed him all six of my rooms, and waited until he was done.

Cube: All right. I guess I'll be going now. Thanks for hanging out with me.

He didn’t give me a gift during his visit, so he’ll probably send me something in the mail. To state the obvious: I hope it’s his photo!

I’ll see you all next time!
