Dud Prize

Last night, I attended the final fireworks festival of the year. My villagers were mesmerized by them. 🎆

Molly: Ooooh! Aaaah!
Marina: The fireworks are so pretty, aren't they? Watching them always fills me with so many different emotions.
Aurora: They really are quite mesmerizing. I can't look away in case I miss one!
But you’re looking away right now!

At the event plaza, Isabelle gave me a flower bopper…which I promptly put on. I also bought a cookie from Crazy Redd. Unfortunately, it contained a dud prize.

Redd's Cookie: Too bad! You got a dud prize.
Redd: Whoa! Well, that's too bad...! This is a losing ticket.
He sells me a dud, and then acts surprised.

But at least he gave me a sparkler as a consolation prize.

Jeff sets off a sparkler between Isabelle and Crazy Redd during the fireworks festival.

Tonight, Hornsby asked me to deliver a gift (a common chair) to Marina. She loved the chair, and she rewarded me with a pink pj shirt. That reward actually sounds like her style, not mine. But thanks anyway, Marina. 😛

Marina: It's a pink pj shirt! I really hope you like it.

Boots asked me to catch an ocean fish for him…any ocean fish. So I went and caught the first fish I saw. And of course, you know that was a sea bass. 😆 I wouldn’t exactly say he was thrilled with it, but he accepted it.

Boots: Hey! Now that is a healthy-looking sea bass! Thanks!

He rewarded me with a rally tank.

I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground near the plaza, and I eventually returned it to its owner, Inkwell. He said it was his “all-purpose bag of workouty goodness.”

Inkwell: Pop some rocks in it, tie it to your shoe...and POW! Buff ankles!
Do you even have ankles?

He rewarded me with a coconut, which doesn’t sound like the most exciting reward. But I suppose I should be shell-ebrating. 😛

I’m sad to see fireworks season and bug season ending. But autumn is just around the corner! See you next time! 🍂
