Catching Things

On Saturday, I found a pink feather buried behind my face-cutout standee! If I remember correctly, Squishy fell into the pitfall on Friday night, and I’m guessing she must have buried a feather in its place for some reason.

Look! I dug up a pink feather!Big Top asked me for some furniture that can be placed on something else, so I gave him a mosquito. He said he’ll treat it like it was me and raise it well!

Big Top: I'll treat the mosquito as if it were you, cool guy, and raise it well!He gave me a doghouse to thank me. But I don’t even have a dog!

On Sunday, I realized a letter Merka sent me contained a bunny shirt. Even though it has long sleeves that make it a bit hot for summer, I wore it for a day.

Julian told me he was tired of saying “hey, hi there” as a greeting (Mike must have given him that one). So the unicorn asked me for something new to say; I told him to say “I’m corny.”

Julian: I'm corny...Yesterday, Agent S asked me for an ocean fish. After catching a sea horse, I trotted back to Agent S and handed it over. She rewarded me with a wrap shirt.

Agent S: That's a nice fish you caught me, with nuts! That's totally a sea horse, right?
Yes, it’s hung like a sea horse.

I found Rolf sleeping on a bench, and I wanted to see if I could wake him up the rude way. It’s net very nice of me, but it worked.

Waking up Rolf with a net.I made it up to him by joining him on the bench. Sorry big guy, I just couldn’t resist. You’re still my favorite tiger.

Sitting with Rolf on the bench.I’ve been making my second character Booker talk to the Able Sisters lately, and he finally unlocked the ability to use QR codes. I may be changing up my paths at some point.

I ran into Big Top in Re-Tail, and he got excited when he saw the elephant slide that was on sale! He wanted to buy it, so I told him to go for it. Of course he’s going to break the thing if he actually tries to use it, but maybe he’ll enjoy the attempt.

Big Top: The second I laid eyes on the elephant slide, I was sold!It was storming in town tonight, and Bob was bummed out about it. But he asked me for a river fish, and I caught a black bass for him. He appreciated it.

Bob: Thank

Seems like I’ve spent a lot of time catching things and eating their insides for my villagers lately!

Beth opened up her town of Acorn today so that I could sell some of my perfect peaches. I sold 11 baskets for a total of 297,000 bells. Thanks, Beth! I also let her come over to Forest to sell some oranges.

My recent dream visitors have been Delaney from Oakridge and Lucy from Yuki. Thanks for stopping by!

July FNF

Today, I saw what looked like a furniture item on the ground…

Furniture on the ground?But why would it be there? I knew the answer: It wouldn’t. I figured out it was a walking leaf, so I swung my net and caught it. I was right! These things usually fool me once a year, but not this time! Gotcha!

I caught a walking leaf! I'm glad it can't run!After depositing some money into my bank account, my balance reached 74 million bells.

Since tonight was my first Friday Night Forest since putting in my custom-design sign, I made a design for the occasion. I probably won’t do this every time, but it kinda cool to have something unique that’s for one night only.

Sign: FNF 7-8-16I got the lily-pad table and froggy chair I ordered from the Nooklings, and put them in my house. I customized the chair to be red like the other one, but unfortunately, the table couldn’t be customized.

Red froggy chairs in my frog room.At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Merka came over, and I gave her a pinwheel I got from the Happy Home Showcase today. A couple minutes later, Squishy also joined in. Merka gave the pinwheel to her, making her look like the generous pinwheel giver. 😉 We all took a picture by the FNF sign.

Merka, Jeff, and Squishy by the Friday Night Forest sign.We glitched onto the tracks and then went out to the bridge. Merka and I started beaning Squishy.

Me and Merka throwing beans at Squishy.Squishy and I glitched into the void under the town. Merka was trying to join us, but she had some trouble getting there at first. As I explored, I took this nice picture of the Sphinx.

The Sphinx.At one point, it looked like I could see the ocean floor. But I think it was just the cliff. Still, it looked pretty cool.

The ocean floor?Merka eventually got into the void, but it’s like she was in a different dimension: Squishy and I couldn’t see Merka, and she couldn’t see us. The only evidence we saw of Merka’s existence? Her emotions.

Invisible Merka uses emotions.Jeff: Hello from the other side.Eventually, I got tired of being in the void and I just wanted out. I tried saving the game, and that killed Merka and Squishy…but not me! I was stuck up on a cliff! I could see Merka running up the steps to Main Street, though.

Merka runs by as I blow bubbles on a cliff.I tried moving around to different spots and saving. I even tried glitching into the sky. If I died, I would respawn back on solid ground. But I would not, could not, die!

Jeff: LET ME DIEI eventually went over by the bridge and tried glitching down–and it worked. I was free at last! I sat on the bench with Squishy, while we saw a zombie back behind us.

Sitting on a bench with Squishy.I invited them to my house to see my frog room.

Squishy: Very froggish.In my house’s back room, Merka the bartender offered us drinks.

Merka: wat u wantAfter a little while, Squishy had to go. Before she left, Merka said she was heading out too, so I ended the session for the night. Thanks for coming, Merka and Squishy!

But before I turned off the game, Merka told me she had a double rainbow in her town. She let me come over briefly to check it out.

A double rainbow in Bribs.I went over to Re-Tail, and guess what her premium item was!

FrogI saw poor Lloid about to jump into the river! No Lloid, don’t jump!

Jeff: Don't jump!I was about to sell some of my perfect peaches in her town, but then we disconnected. She had to go anyway, so we didn’t meet back up. At least I got a couple pictures of the rainbow.

Back in Forest, Pashmina…well…she said some rude things.

Pashmina: What?! That's tiny! I mean, why even bother?! That's not much of a commitment at all!Actually we were talking about the lyrics in love songs. It was an odd conversation.

As I walked around Forest, I noticed a couple of missing gold roses. I reminded everyone not to run earlier, but a couple of the roses didn’t survive the night. I had some replacements, so it’s not a big deal, but maybe we shouldn’t glitch under the town so much from now on.

A missing gold rose.

Luna told me that Lukas from Forest was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend everyone! 🙂

Helping Julian

Julian told me he wrote himself a letter that he wants to receive in the future. He put it in a time capsule, and asked me to bury it for him today.

Julian: So I want to have a nice note ready for my future self. I've put that and a gift in this time capsule.So I buried it in my usual, easy-to-remember time capsule spot: the northwest corner of town.

The location of Julian's buried time capsule.Pashmina asked me for a cherry today. I let Beth take a bunch of fruit for her new town yesterday, so I was a bit afraid there might not be any cherries left…but fortunately, I found some. So I gave one to Pashmina.

Pashmina: Ooh! Looks tasty! Here I go!After eating my cherry, she rewarded me with a froggy chair! Wow, there’s just so much froggyness lately!

Pashmina: Heh heh... This is from my secret froggy chair stash. You earned it, dude!I took it to Re-Tail and got it customized with the “red frog” option. I think I’ll put in another lily-pad table on the left side of my frog room, and use two red froggy chairs with it.

A newly-customized red froggy chair.I went up to the Dream Suite and I dreamed of Heather’s town Hell (dream address 4700-6633-4425). Despite the name, it’s actually a pretty place. I love the brick paths, and all the blue flowers and bushes make it blue-tiful!

Blue flowers and bushes in Hell.I also visited Heather’s town “in person” two years ago, when Heather won a giveaway for a bubble wand.

Back in Forest, Julian noticed something in my pockets and asked if it was an eel! I was relieved when I realized I did, in fact, have an eel in my pocket.

Julian: Hey! What's that you have there? An eel?He offered me an eight-ball tee for it. I agreed to the trade, but was it a good trade for me? Signs point to no.

One other note, although it is off-topic. If you enjoy Splatoon, please check out my new video: 50 Surprise Attacks Vol. 4! Thanks, and I’ll see you all on Friday night–it’s time for Friday Night Forest once again!
