Basement Expanded

As promised, Nook expanded my basement today. So now there’s a little room to spread the furniture out more.

My newly-expanded basement, with some golden furniture and my Brewstoids.When I saw Rolf, he reminded me that tomorrow is the last fireworks festival of the year.

Rolf: More importantly, tomorrow is the last fireworks show of the year!I found my fossils and money rock, then headed up to Main Street for a shopping run. T.I.Y. had Forest Life, so I snatched that up right away.

Timmy: Ah, Forest Life! A fine item, yes?In the Able Sisters’ shop, I saw Benedict. He warned me not to copy his style, because people might get the two of us confused. Right…

Benedict, in Able Sisters: Don't copy my style, OK, boss? If we start dressing the same, people might get us confused.In Labelle’s section of the store, I bought myself a wizard’s cap.

Labelle: Oh wow! So cute and so wonderful!Wendy came over to shop, and then we made a quick trip to the island. The hide-and-seek tour was there again today! At one point, it wasn’t available for at least six weeks, and now I’ve seen it about six times in the past two weeks. I was glad to see it, but I was a bit busy, so we only did one game of it today.

Tortimer: That was fast! Really fast! You've earned a Gold Tortimer award, meaning you get 9 medals!And then later on tonight, I went to see K.K. perform at Club LOL. I asked him for a sad song, and he performed K.K. Dirge! Whaaa?

K.K.: Here's a jam that makes the blues seem like old news... K.K. Dirge.That’s all for today, but I’ll be back tomorrow with more. I’ll be opening my gate around 7:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time for the fireworks festival. For those of you on my roster, please stop by!

Friday Night Forest

After doing my “chores” around town, I took the day’s earnings up to the post office and finished paying off my latest house expansion. I then went to see Tom Nook and told him to expand my basement. It will be done tomorrow.

Tom Nook: The work will be fully completed by tomorrow morning. I'm so sure you must be very excited, yes, yes!And then at 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Daisy, Wendy, and Patty came over to visit.

Daisy, Wendy, and Patty arrive in Forest.I talked to Tex and he said felt like drinking some tomato juice. I’ll say one thing about Tex, he’s definitely unique. He doesn’t fit into any stereotypes. He’s a penguin, named Tex, that dances to R&B music, and drinks tomato juice. Do you know any other penguins like that? I sure don’t.

Tex: On a day like this, I feel like drinking some tomato juice and letting myself relax a bit.When I saw Benedict, he asked me to take a petition to another town. It’s for Toffee Appreciation Day.

Benedict: If you are, would you mind getting some signatures for my petition, Toffee Appreciation Day?Before long, Patty left and Joey came in. He brought Katie with him.

Joey from Italy has just arrived in Forest.Before long, we all disconnected. So I reopened the gate. Wendy came, and then Daisy came back as well. But Daisy also brought Katie. Unfortunately, we soon disconnected once again. When I reopened, Wendy and Daisy returned. In the cafe, I think Brewster was threatening me. Did you hear that everyone? Brewster is threatening me!

Brewster: I'll be waiting for you tomorrow.I went to visit Molly, and I noticed something. She’s so short that you can barely see her behind her couch.

Molly, barely visible behind her couch.At 11:00, we gathered at the modern clock to watch it light up at the top of the hour.

Daisy: Happy 11 o'clock!A bit later, Joey returned. So we had a full house once again. We headed out to the island.

The four of us on the dock, ready to go out to the island.While there, we caught some fish and bugs. Joey felt that I stole this cyclommatus stag from him. Too bad, so sad. 😛

Joey uses the heartbreak emotion as I catch a cyclommatus stag before he can grab it.We also did a hide-and-seek  tour (my favorite), but then we got disconnected once again. So annoying. When I reopened my gate for the last time, Wendy and Daisy returned, and Nick also joined in. We headed back out to the island for several hide-and-seek tours. All three of them were trolling me, doing the Shrunk Funk Shuffle to delay the boat ride.

Daisy: LOL.During one of the tours, Wendy found the animal Wendy! So apparently, she found herself.

Wendy: I found Wendy!I was not doing well at the tours tonight. But hide-and-seek is a team game, so we all get the medals.

The four of us celebrating a successful hide and seek tour.When we were done, we returned to Forest and I ended the party. But all of the visitors tonight put my total visitor count at over 100. So Porter informed me that I can now remodel my train station! Awesome!

Porter: It's crazy, but guess what? Forest Station has been selected for remodeling! Eek!I backtracked to town hall to take a look at the three options. Here are pictures of them all:

Zen train station reconstruction PWP: 498,000 bells.Fairy-tale train station reconstruction PWP: 498,000 bells.Modern train station reconstruction PWP: 498,000 bells.Much like the town hall options, none of them really jump out at me. I may end up going with the third one, even though it is a bit plain. But I haven’t decided for sure just yet. Anyway, Wendy was opening her gate for me so I could get petition signatures for Benedict. And in her town Oakville, they were just lining up to sign!

Kabuki and Mira lining up to sign my petition.I soon got all the signatures I needed.

Petition signatures for Toffee Appreciation Day: Molly, Mitzi, Kabuki, Mira, Rory, Colton.I returned to Forest and gave the petition to Benedict. He could not hide his excitement. Not even with the clipboard. Ahem.

Animated GIF of Benedict shifting his feet and body.To thank me, he gave me an imperial wall. Seriously? All those signatures for wallpaper? Ugh.

That’s all for tonight, but check back for more tomorrow!

Happy Birthday, Rolf!

I got my basic painting in the mail from Crazy Redd today. But unfortunately, it turned out to be a fake.

Reese: Oh no! If you look very closely at it, you can see it's a fake!I saw Teddy fishing by my bridge, and it was pretty funny to see how he talks to the fish to try to get them to bite. Good luck with that, Teddy.

Teddy: Come on, fish! Get on there! It's like a ride!And today was Rolf’s birthday! I went over to his house, and Aurora was there helping him celebrate.

Aurora and I attend Rolf's birthday party.My favorite white tiger was glad that I came to his party.

Rolf: Hey, boss! You came! Come on in, rolf rolf!He asked if I had a present for him. So I ended up giving him the basic painting. But somehow, he knew it was a fake.

Rolf: Hmmm... Ah! What's most important is the feeling behind it!I waited until both of their backs were turned, and I stealthily swiped a finger-full of frosting.

A guilty-looking Jeff looks at the cake as Rolf's back is turned.Once I left the party, I headed back outside. I talked to Pete and he told me how he’s been holding some fish in his bill pouch. I really didn’t need to know all that.

Pete: As soon as I clock out, I'm going to eat this fish I've been keeping in my bill pouch.Then I saw Tex, and he told me he was going to be dancing to R&B music all night. I never would have guessed.

Tex: On a day like this, I feel like just listening to R&B and dancing all night, cowboy!After a shopping run on Main Street, I rode Kapp’n’s boat out to a Club Tortimer island. Someone named Herobrin from Home was there, but he just stood there motionless for a long time.

Me saying hello to Herobrin on a Club Tortimer island, but he did not reply.After 5-10 minutes, he finally said hi. I said hi again, and then he said “ok” and left. Allllrighty then. A few minutes later, someone else came in: Marron from Blothing. We played for a few minutes, but then we got disconnected. Unfortunately, I even lost the bugs and fish that I caught while Herobrin was there. Apparently, it doesn’t even save when someone enters or exits the island. So annoying. I’m not a big fan of Club Tortimer, if you can’t tell.

After the disconnection, I appeared back at my dock. I saw two sharks there! Unfortunately, I only caught one of them, since the first one’s splash scared the second one away.
