Camper Cousteau & Capsules

On September 5th, Inkwell asked me to dig up his time capsule. I did, and we found a reggae tank inside. He gave it to me as my reward. Thanks, mon!

Inkwell: It's a reggae tank! Did you put that in there, or did I?

A week later (this past Sunday), Agent S asked me to bury another time capsule for her. I agreed to help out, but maybe I need to keep my letter section full so that I stop getting all these time capsule requests. 😛

Agent S: I want you to bury a time capsule that has my note inside. Will you help me and Future Agent S?

Cousteau the yellow, mustached frog was camping in town today. Even if I had a free space in town (which I don’t), I’d never willingly ask him to move in.

Cousteau: Hey! Do you think it's OK if I camp here for a while?
You can camp here for the night, but I want you to hop out of town by tomorrow.

Inkwell was getting hungry, and he asked me to find a pear for him. I shook a nearby tree, and took the pear over to him. He sucked it down in an instant.

Inkwell slurps down a pear.

He loved it, and he rewarded me with a lucky cat.

Saharah was in town, and I paid her 3,000 bells to install some new wallpaper and carpeting.

Saharah: I am called Saharah, for that is my name. I come from faraway land.

She decided on a lattice wall and a closed road for me; I then decided against them both.

Redd’s Cookies

On Friday, I got to see the inside of Cube’s house now that he’s all unpacked. He has a lot of robo furniture in his room.

The fireworks festival was held tonight, and many of my villagers were outside to enjoy the show.

Lolly: Ooooh! Aaaah!

At the event plaza, Isabelle gave me a bulb bopper for the occasion.

Isabelle: When you wear that bulb bopper, you'll shine just as bright as the fireworks!

I bought a few of Redd’s cookies to get some of his special gifts.

Redd: I have Redd's cookies, specially made with help from the Nooklings for the fireworks show.

I noticed that the process is much more tedious than buying items from Redd in New Horizons. Here, you have to first buy the cookies, eat them, and then redeem them for prizes. Everything is done one at a time, so it’s a very slow process.

There was a prize slip inside! ...Let's see what it says...

I had one winning ticket among my three cookies, and it was good for an Ultra Hand. My non-winning tickets were exchanged for a roman candle and a sparkler.

I then enjoyed the fireworks for a few minutes from a couple different spots in town.

Fireworks explode in the sky above my statue fountain.

I enjoy the heart fireworks, which didn’t make it into New Horizons for some reason.

Inkwell was in his house, and he told me I have a new label/reputation: Apparently I’m a world traveler now (after being a bell-pincher again for a while). I haven’t done any traveling in a long time, but these labels clearly aren’t always accurate (or at least, not current).

Inkwell: You've been the subject of some gossip lately. Rumor has it you're a world traveler.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Evelin from Napvirag and Lucia from Cortino. Thanks for stopping by!

Nice Cube

On Tuesday, Agent S asked me to dig up her time capsule.

Agent S: I asked you to bury a time capsule for me not too long ago, didn't I?

When I did, she found a blue-bar tee inside. Not surprisingly, that was my reward for all that work. I wish we would at least get a piece of furniture for these time capsule quests, but oh well.

For the first time in ages, there was a camper at the campsite. Cube the penguin was inside! I like Cube, even though he’s not quite in my top tier of villagers. But since my town hasn’t been at full capacity for eight months, I decided to ask him to move in!

Cube: OK, just like I promised, I'll move to this town!

On Wednesday, Inkwell asked me to bury a time capsule for him. And I agreed to help out.

After I gave Boots a new catcphrase, he asked me for a pear. I found one in town and took it back to him. He loved it!

Boots: This is it! This is exactly the taste I was looking for! In 1 bite!

He rewarded me with a green counter.

Cube’s house plot appeared yesterday, and then he moved in today (Friday the 13th). He lives just south of the event plaza, next to the zen garden.

Welcome to Forest, Cube! He seems like a nice guy.

Cube: Since I had such a good time, and you suggested it, I decided to move here after all!

Inkwell wanted to trade his red gym tee for a dorado I just caught in the river! I agreed to the trade, only because I’m sucking up to him right now. 😛

Later, I spotted a balloon present that was flying over the river. Since my slingshot pellets couldn’t reach it, I had no choice but to watch it sail over the waterfall and out of town.
