Friday the 13th

Yesterday, I did some more diving and caught another scallop. Pascal popped up and gave me a ship deck for it. He also had some words of wisdom about plucking.

Pascal: Plucking the right strings on a guitar can feel great, but plucking the right hairs always hurts, maaan.I ordered myself a hockey mask last night, so that I could wear it for Friday the 13th. Saharah was in town today, so I hired her to put in this lovely wall and common floor.

A lovely wall and common floor.The northern lights were in the sky above Forest this evening.

The northern lights over my fountain.At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Megan came over to visit; I hadn’t seen her in a long time! She didn’t seem to appreciate my outfit though, and she tried to burn Jason to death!

Megan burning "Jason" with fireworks.When the fountain firework didn’t work, she tried using a roman candle on me. It was quite painful, but I survived.

Ouch.After a stop at Re-Tail, we went up to the Emporium so that Megan could buy her own axe and be a murderer like me. We then started threatening the Nooklings.

Megan: Whatchu lookin at punk.On the second floor, the Nooklings had their laundry hanging out–including their socks!

Megan: Smelly.Megan saw that my Re-Tail was paying premium for cherries, so I helped her gather up all the cherries around town. She also went back to her town to stock up on the cherries there too. The cherry-picker made over 100,000 bells.

After she came out of Re-Tail, I told her to have a snack. I had famous mushrooms for both of us to eat. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the timing just right. Still, this picture turned out kind of cool with all the pink stars surrounding us.

Pink stars surround me and Megan after eating famous mushrooms.I had two more famous mushrooms over by my town tree, so we gave it another try. We got a bit closer, but it still wasn’t perfect. I like how Aurora fled the scene when she saw what was going on.

Big Meg, Little Jeff; Little Meg, Big Jeff. (GIF)As of tomorrow, those mushrooms will be gone from my dream town. But I will replace them when new ones grow by my stump.

I shook a tree, and a computer rack fell from the branches. I guessed it must be an Apple.

Megan: CPU rack.  Jeff: From tree? Must be Apple.While Megan was on “brb” at one point, I glitched onto the Sphinx.

Me standing on the Sphinx.We went around hunting for snowflakes for a while, and we were both able to get a few pieces of ice furniture from my nearly-melted snowmam.

Snowmam: What do you say?Shortly after midnight, I ended the session for the night. Thanks for coming, Megan! It was good to see you again and I had a good time. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by, everyone. Have a good weekend!

Jolly Roger

As expected, I got a letter from Gulliver in the mail today. He sent me a Rooster of Barcelos from Portugal.

While shopping at Able Sisters, I noticed they had the Festivale accessory for sale today.

Labelle: The Festivale accessory? Ooh, good choice!Festivale is coming up on Monday, so you can find Festivale related clothing for sale in Able Sisters. But unlike some other New Leaf holiday events, the outfit is completely optional. You don’t need the clothes to participate in the event. Check out the Festivale Guide for more information.

I put on my wet suit and did a little diving this evening. Surprisingly, it didn’t take me long to catch a scallop. And of course, Pascal wanted in on the action.

I got a scallop! Hey, this isn't a potato at all!He “truthed” me about the seasons, telling me that fall gets no love.

Pascal: Everyone loves summer because of vacations and winter because of the holidays. But fall, maaan--no love.I gave him my scallop and he gave me this Jolly Roger in return.

A Jolly Roger pirate flag I got from Pascal.When I updated my dream town, Luna told me that Heston from the town of King Boo (nice town name!) was my most recent dream visitor.

And just as a reminder, Friday Night Forest is this week. I’ll be opening my gate (for people already on my roster) on Friday around 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (7 p.m. Pacific time).

Popular Pond Smelt

Late last night, I made a new snowman and he rolled a #33 for me. That gave me a bingo! The snowman gave me a bobsled in exchange for my bingo card.

Snowman: BINGOOOOO!Today, Dizzy asked me to catch a pond smelt for him.

Dizzy: What do you say to catching a pond smelt for me, Jeff?I also stopped in Drago’s house, and he asked me to take something back to Dizzy. But I couldn’t stop thinking that Drago has a lot of furniture in his house. It’s really crowded in there!

Drago: Oh, and could you please take care of this today?Outside, I did some fishing and caught a pond smelt. But before I could get back to Dizzy, Kabuki asked me for the fish!

Kabuki: You're into the fine art of the pond smelt too?!He wanted to give me a reel-to-reel for it. Actually a piece of furniture for a cheap fish isn’t a bad trade, but I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to go searching for another pond smelt, so I told him no. Fortunately, Kabuki was very understanding.

Kabuki: But it's cool! We're still buds. Looks like I'll just have to work for my treasures.I went down to the beach, and I found Gulliver washed up on the beach. After waking him up, he was talking about explorers. I figured that he was headed to Portugal, and he’s going to send me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: To a sailor like me, it's like a pilgrimage to visit there!After that, I finally returned to Dizzy’s house. When I gave him the pond smelt, he thanked me with a drip pail. I also gave him the package from Drago, which turned out to be a red flannel shirt. I must’ve looked hungry, because he gave me an apple as my reward.

Dizzy: You must be hungry, right? Then here, have an apple!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Samus from Freetown was my most recent dream visitor. In the Happy Homes Showcase, I got a red bunny balloon from someone I StreetPassed (Jimmy from Whoville). And when I put my money into my bank account at the post office, my balance reached 34 million bells.

Your current balance is 34,040,000 bells.
