Elephant in the… Tomb?

On Tuesday, I happened to be playing right at 9:00 p.m.; I was treated to a display of the lights in the modern clock PWP.

The modern clock lights up at the top of the hour.

Yesterday, Del the gator was camping at the campsite. He was my buddy in City Folk from 2010-13. If I had a free spot, I might have asked him to move in. But for now, I’m happy having Cube around.

Del: I didn't do any research or anything before choosing a place to camp. I think I lucked out with this town!

Saharah was hanging around, so I asked her to install some new wallpaper and carpeting.

Saharah: Let us travel to your palace. Swiftly!

She put in a cabin wall and some red tile (flooring). Not bad I suppose, but I certainly didn’t keep them installed.

Tonight, Big Top wanted to play a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me ten minutes to find him, Inkwell, and Lolly. I quickly found Inkwell behind a tree near Big Top’s house. A few minutes later, I found an elephant trying to hide behind the butt of the Sphinx. Sorry Big Top, but that’s an awful hiding spot for you. 😛

Big Top: No! How'd you find me?! I was in super-stealth mode and everything!

After a complete circle around town, I still didn’t find the third hider. So I went down the beach, and there I found Lolly behind a banana tree.

Big Top gave me an exotic wardrobe for winning the game.

Even though Cube didn’t participate in hide-and-seek, I still had trouble tracking him down tonight. This always seems to happen with my newest villager. I eventually found him in the museum, hungrily looking at the fish. 😀

Cube: Oh, hi, Jeff! Looking at fish kinda makes me sooo hungry, d-d-dude.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Sundae from Ghost and Rosevelt from Alpha. Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you all next time!

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.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Akihito from Ruby, Padraic from DaHood, Sammy from Waffles, Lilysong from Oakclan, and Ethan from Tahiti. Thanks for stopping by!

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!
