Staying Lost

Last night, I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground. Rolf said it wasn’t his, but literally everyone else was asleep. So I couldn’t ask them about it.

Tonight, I started up the game just before 11 p.m., selling all the furniture and fossils that have been in my pockets. I went into Molly’s house, and I was surprised to find Claudia there; it’s Molly’s birthday!

Molly: Awww, J-bot! You came to celebrate with me? I'm so happy, oh quack.

Since I just sold all the furniture I had on me, I didn’t have a proper birthday gift to give Molly. But fortunately, she accepted two perfect peaches. πŸ‘πŸ‘

Molly: Oh my! Thank you. This is very nice!

At the campsite, Gigi the frog was inside. Yikes, no thanks.

Gigi: Hey, are you from around here?

I couldn’t ask Molly or Claudia about the lost item because of the party. And I couldn’t ask Big Top or Hornsby, because they were already asleep by 11 p.m. I couldn’t find Boots at first, but I eventually tracked him down in the museum. The lost item wasn’t his, either.

Boots: Hmm... Nope, nope, nope. Sorry to tell you, Mr. J, but you gotta keep looking for the rightful owner!

Vivian, Lolly, Aurora, and Rolf all said it wasn’t theirs. The only one left to ask was Agent S. I searched all around town, on Main Street, and every room of the museum. Then I thought to check the Roost. There she was…and I couldn’t ask her about the lost item either. Ugh.

Agent S: Some people like their coffee a bit bitter, but it's only perfect for me with 2 spoonfuls of sugar!

I guess this lost bag just wasn’t meant to be found.

Anyway, Aurora mentioned that Lolly was thinking about moving out! I couldn’t get her to ping me in time, so I’ll have to try again tomorrow or some day soon to save her.

Aurora: I was talking to Lolly not long ago, and she mentioned she was thinking about moving...

At Club LOL, I asked K.K. for a random song and he played K.K. Waltz for me and Peck.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Kristine from KΓ₯nken, Brianna from Azurite, and David from Dulcet. Thanks for stopping by!

UPDATE, March 8th: No worries. Lolly has been saved. πŸ™‚

Leap Day 2020

Today is February 29th, a date that only comes once every four years. And it’s only the 2nd Leap Day since New Leaf has been released worldwide. The game doesn’t have a special event for Leap Day, but Isabelle does make note of it when you start up the game. And there is a bulletin board post about it.

~ Today is Leap Day ~ Today is February 29th, the day that only comes once every four years! Do you feel like you gained a day?

Molly was also talking about the occasion. She said she hopes we’re still friends the next time Leap Day comes around in four years. I hope so too, but you never know.

Molly: The next leap day isn't for another 4 years. I hope we're still friends when it comes around again.

Aurora just had books on her mind. In particular, she wanted to read books in igloos…that might be a hard thing to do now that the snow is gone.

Aurora: Spring is the season when a young woman's fancy turns to reading new books, in igloos.

Rolf asked me for something to replace his peacock butterfly, so I fished a squid out of the ocean for him.

Rolf: Ho! A squid!

In return, he gave me the peacock butterfly. I thought I was getting a good deal, but I soon found out that it only sells for 220 bells. For some reason, I was thinking it was worth more than that.

At Club LOL, I was a bit surprised to find only one villager in attendance: Dizzy. There almost always seems to be two animals there, usually sitting on opposite sides. Well anyway, I told K.K. Slider I was in a good mood, and he performed K.K. March for me and Dizzy.

Jeff and Dizzy prepare for a musical performance by K.K. Slider.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Hannah from Ardmore and NovaStar from Mystic. Agent S also mentioned a dream visitor named Rebet from Hobbylos. Thank you all for visiting, and have a great day!

Throwing Hornsby a Bone

Hornsby asked me for some furniture tonight, so I thought I’d give him my skeleton. I didn’t need it any more.

Hornsby: Nice! I had my eye on a skeleton just like this one.

In return, he gave me a small magazine rack. That might not have been the fairest trade, but I wasn’t mad about it at all. In fact, I didn’t have an angry bone in my body!

Lolly told me she was thinking about moving out of town on March 3rd, but of course, I told her not to go. I then kept talking to her until she got sick of me.

Lolly: ACK! Y-You startled me.

Claudia said that she loved the scent of the peach trees in Forest. She then asked me for a peach. I went the extra mile (more like the extra acre) to grab her a perfect peach from over near the Roost. She loved it, and she gave me a seven lamp in return.

Claudia: Mmm! What flavor, if I died!

There was an igloo at the campsite, and Cherry the dog was inside. She seems pretty cool, but Forest already has the maximum number of villagers allowed. Although I have been thinking about shaking things up… Maybe someday.

At Club LOL, I spotted my former residents Elise and Tom. It was nice seeing Tom again.

Tom: Confession time: I came by because I was missing Forest. Isn't that just like me?
No, but I’m glad to see you anyway.

K.K. Slider performed K.K. Jongara for the three of us (well four, if you count Dr. Shrunk).

As a reminder, Festivale is coming up on Monday (February 24th), and the snow will be melted by Tuesday morning. If you need help with Festivale or just want a refresher on how it all works, see my Festivale Guide.

According to Luna, my most recent dream visitor was Lulu from Lu City. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great night (or day)! Never Stop Crossing! πŸ™‚
