Shamrock Day 2021

Even though I only post a new entry twice a month, I still try to play about once a week…mainly so I don’t get bedhead. 😛

When I played last week, I saw the entrance to the Resetti Surveillance Center was open. I dropped in for a visit, and I used his new machine to send Resetti scrambling! He was so mad that even he wanted to reset!

Resetti: Um, um, um, reset! Reset!

He got shot out of there like a cannonball, and Don calmly told me the test was successful. 😀

Yesterday, I made my usual March transformation into Mohawk McClover.

Mohawk McClover

Today is Shamrock Day (St. Patrick’s Day), so I went over to the event plaza to pose for a picture in the face-cutout standee. Ah, me pot of gold be here!

Standing at the Shamrock Day faceboard, with a rainbow and a pot of gold.

Isabelle was also there, handing out shamrock hats. It conflicts with my green mohawk, but at least I tried it on for a moment.

Jeff, wearing a shamrock hat, stands next to Isabelle, who is dressed in green, on Shamrock Day.

Several of my villagers also wished me a happy Shamrock Day.

Inkwell: Happyyyyy Shamrock Daaaayyyy!!

I found a lost item on the ground, and it took me a while to track down its owner. It belonged to the 8th villager I asked, Hornsby. And I did all that work just to return an empty bag! 😛

Hornsby: But it's just an empty bag. I gotta think of something to put inside it.

He rewarded me with a common chair.

Molly asked me to catch an ocean fish for her, so I went out and caught a squid!

Jeff tries to catch Inkwell the squid with a net.

Okay, well the squid I caught wasn’t actually Inkwell. 😛 But Molly thanked me for the (actual) squid, and she gave me a vintage camera as my reward.

Molly: Oh! Thanks so much for this squid!

At the Dream Suite, I updated my dream for the first time in months. So check it out if you’d like. (Dream address 5D00-000F-7611.) According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Coops from Coopland, Maisie from Ouch, and Danica from Bear. Thanks for stopping by!

Accidentally Angering an Agent

Lolly told me that she received a package that was intended for Molly. I guess that’s somewhat understandable, since their names are almost the same. She asked if I could take it over to Molly, and I agreed to help out.

Molly: Really? A package for me was delivered to Lolly's house?

But Molly said it was something she forgot about; she already bought a new one. So she offered this package to me for 134 bells. That’s very cheap, so I accepted the deal. The item was a fishing vest.

Jeff tries on a fishing vest from Molly.

However, I didn’t take the bait, so I had to throw it back in. 🎣

Inkwell was ready for me to dig up the time capsule he gave me last time. It’s only been two weeks! What good is a time capsule from just two weeks ago? Is life in Forest going to change that much in two weeks? 😛

Inkwell: I'm thinking it's about time to open the time capsule you buried for me the other day!

So I dug it up and returned it to Inkwell. He jokingly asked if I wanted an old sweat-soaked kanji tee.

Inkwell: Ha ha! Want an old, sweat-soaked kanji tee of mine?

Except that he wasn’t joking! That sweat-soaked shirt is exactly what he gave me as my reward!

Inkwell: It's a kanji tee! Thank you, Jeff! I feel like I've touched the future.
And I feel like I’ve touched every drop of your sweat.

I spoke to him more, and he accused Big Top of being a jewelry thief…only to discover that Big Top was only carrying marbles. That’s the same exact accusation he hurled at Lolly two months ago.

Inkwell: Just the other day I nabbed that jewelry thief Big Top!
You need to stop.

Back outside, Agent S asked me for a nice Forest peach. A quick glance at my pockets revealed I had a perfect peach already. So I gave it to her, she took a big bite, and I was completely shocked when she said this:

Agent S: Yuck! It's all buggy and gross inside!

It was a rotten peach, and I didn’t even realize it! Agent S was furious at me, and I felt so bad! I’m sure this will harm our friendship level. 🙁 She even said she’s not going to forget it for a long time. Oof.

Agent S: It's going to be a while before I forget the taste of THAT, kiddo!

Once she cooled off, I did speak with her several more times. I bought a couple of items she was selling, and we bonded when I told her I like roller coasters.

Agent S: Seriously? Me too! I love those! But I haven't been on one in, like, forever, in a nut.
Yeah, me neither. 🙁

I shot down a balloon present, and I couldn’t help but noticing that they don’t seem to fly as high in the sky as they do in New Horizons.

Jeff prepares to shoot down a balloon present.

But at least the balloons in New Horizons don’t contain balloon furniture. 😛 This balloon gave me a balloon floor.

Rolf told me he was going to move away on March 10th, but I quickly changed his plans.

According to Luna, my most recent dream visitor was JaWoozii from Tiny Ego. Thanks for stopping by! And Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Valentine’s Day 2021

Last week, Lolly told me that Big Top has been moping around, and she didn’t know why.

Lolly: Oh, chap! I think something's wrong with Big Top. He's moping around and I don't know why.

Big Top then turned to me and said something truly profound.

Big Top: Waaaah. Mwee mwee mwee.

I wasn’t sure what to make of the situation, and then out of nowhere, Big Top got right to the point: He just can’t wait for the next Animal Intersection game.

Big Top: Booooo! Why can't the next Animal Intersection game come out sooner?

Lolly was a bit irritated, because she was genuinely worried that something serious was wrong with Big Top. 😛

Inkwell decided that he wanted to prepare a time capsule, and he asked me to bury it for him.

Inkwell: Heh heh! I got the idea for a time capsule stuck in my head, so I went ahead and put one together!

I dug a hole in the northwest part of town and dropped the capsule in. Now I’ll just have to wait until he’s ready for me to dig it up.

I played again today, which happens to be Valentine’s Day. I headed over to the Roost for my sweet treat from Brewster: Hot chocolate!

This must be... hot chocolate!

I received three letters in the mail for the occasion. My secretary Isabelle sent me a chocolate cake (which I ate), my apparent valentine Molly sent me a chocolate heart (which I also ate), and Mom sent me a cocao tree (which I didn’t eat).

Jeff enjoys some sweet treats on Valentine's Day.

By the time I drank my hot chocolate and ate my cake and candy, it was midnight. And pretty much everyone was already in bed! Well, except for Rolf. He asked me for a piece of fruit, and I gave him a perfect peach. He loved it, and he gave me an industrial wall in return.

Rolf: Did you grow this yourself or something? Because I wouldn't believe it!
Why not? It’s the truth!

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Ja from Kiwi, A+ from IDK, Jogdhbfj from Togwish, and Killian from Gamervil. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all had a good Valentine’s Day!
