Last night, Wendy came over briefly to shop. We noticed that her bunny balloon passed right through the awning of the Able Sisters’ shop. If you look at it the right way, it almost looks like a smiley face.
Today, it was raining in town. Aurora told me she was going to move out on the 29th of this month! No way! I made her stay.
I talked to Molly, and she said something very strange. She said that a sea bass is the most beautiful fish in the world! She must have been feeling sick or something. But she asked me to catch a sea bass for her, so I agreed to help.
I went into the police station to ask Copper what was going on in town. He told me that a stylish giraffe was at the event plaza. That means Gracie’s here! I also took a look at some items in the lost and found, and I took this gray tartan tee. After being Mario for a while, I needed a change. So I think I’ll wear this for a while.
I then made my way over to my brick bridge. And I saw that my new zen bell PWP is now completed! I have also updated my town page to include the zen bell.
After ringing the zen bell a few times, I made my way around to the event plaza. Gracie was there, and she was demanding an ornate look for her fashion check today.
I checked my list of clothing I have in storage and I got a bit worried. I only had two ornate items, a noble shirt and royal shorts. And I know that Gracie’s fashion checks require an accessory and shoes. So I went up to Main Street to see if the Able Sisters or Kicks had any ornate items for sale today. They didn’t. But I bought a knight’s helmet anyway. It was worth a try, I figured. I kept my usual socks and shoes on (dress socks and black loafers). I returned to Gracie, and she wasn’t exactly thrilled with my outfit. But still, she reluctantly passed me!
She rewarded me by giving me this cyan argyle shirt:
This is my second passed fashion check, and I only need two more to get the final store expansion. I hope she returns again soon.
Today, I got a gem rock instead of a money rock. It included a ruby…so I thought I would try customizing a polka-dot sofa with the ruby. This is the final result, courtesy of Cyrus.
I don’t plan on keeping it. I think I need to modify some furniture with emeralds instead. Unfortunately, the gem rock didn’t give me any emeralds today, but I’m going to do that next time.
As I walked along, Teddy “pinged” me from between the bamboo trees. He looked kind of creepy…I almost expected him to offer me candy. Instead, he offered me a security tee.
I accepted his gift and quickly moved along. I saw Tabby, and she told me about how dumb she is. She wondered why it was so dark this morning, until she realized she went to sleep with her sunglasses on. I was not surprised that she would do something like that.
As I wrapped up my time in Forest for the day, I remembered that I still needed a sea bass for Molly. So I went out to the ocean to catch it for her. Once I tracked Molly down again, I gave it to her and she rewarded me with a tan puffy vest. But the important thing is that I made her aquatic dreams come true. Even if they sound like aquatic nightmares to me.
This evening, I found a second gold rose near my house.
And just a few feet away, Big Top suggested a new PWP: a water pump.
It’s always nice to have new projects suggested, even if they’re not all that exciting. This is what the water pump looks like:
Over by my video screen, Rolf told me to shut up and take his comfy sweater. Uhhh, okay.
And I talked to Big Top again, and he had an offer for me. He wanted to trade his tape deck for my silver nugget.
That’s not a very good deal for me, but I decided to be nice and make the trade. He did suggest a new PWP for my town, after all. But Big Top didn’t appreciate my generosity, as he claimed we were trading treasure for treasure. Not quite, bud.
After I finished watering my flowers and doing my shopping, I decided to install my zen bell. I chose to put it in the northeast corner of town, right above my brick bridge.
I immediately paid off the zen bell, and it will be completed tomorrow. I’ll see you then!
I only have one more room that needs to be expanded (my back room). When I went outside, I found that one of my black roses has turned into my first gold rose. I didn’t even realize it was wilted yesterday, but it must have been.
I talked to Aurora and she told me that she had a fight with Benedict!
But she wanted to apologize, so she asked me to take a gift over to Benedict for her. I agreed, and I quickly found Benedict. He accepted the gift and thanked me by giving me a piece of candy.
That was an unusual reward. I decided to put it in storage for now, in case it will come in handy for one of the holiday festivals.
I’ve seen the zen bell on island tours, and I like it a lot. Mainly because you can actually ring the bell. Most town projects aren’t interactive for some reason, so this is a refreshing departure from the norm. This is what it looks like:
At only 86,000 bells, it’s quite affordable too. I plan on installing it soon. I’m just not sure where I’m going to put it.
