Ultimate Camper

Bones recently asked me to fetch Aurora for him, and I agreed to help. I tracked Aurora down, and we both headed to Bones’ house.

Bones: A huh huh huh! Welcome to both of you!

Bones bought a blue tie-dye tank, and he wanted to give it to Aurora since he heard that she was looking for one. Aurora was thrilled to have it, and Bones gave me an astro lamp. I’m not sure why he didn’t just ask me to deliver the shirt to Aurora, but oh well. 😛

The final fireworks festival of the year was held last Sunday, and I attended the event. Isabelle gave me a flower bopper to wear.

On Tuesday night, Rolf asked me about the sabertooth skull I had on me. Uh-oh, did he think I was out hunting tigers or something?

Rolf: So I heard about your sabertooth skull...
I’m sorry! Please don’t eat me! Tigers are grrrreat!

But it turns out, he just wanted one for himself. He offered me 3,000 bells for it, and I accepted. Note: I also recently saved him from moving out, so he will still be a Forest resident for the foreseeable future.

On Wednesday, I met the camper, Lolly. Lolly!

Lolly: That's a shame. Since the universe has spoken, I'll be asking for your silver nugget now.
You can take anything. Silver nuggets, perfect fruit, adverbs, you name it!

Lolly is the ultimate camper! She’s my favorite villager, and it’s rare that I’ve had her in any of my towns. Only in City Folk once, for just a couple months or so, and that was years ago. So I kept playing her camper games until she agreed to move in. YES!

Lolly: It seems the universe has spoken! I'm going to be your new neighbor, Jeff. My name is Lolly!

Yesterday, Molly asked me to bury a time capsule for her. I buried it in the usual spot.

Molly: I have a little favor to ask you. Vivian and I have been working on a time capsule project.

Rolf then told me that he recently stuck his head through the face-cutout standee.

Rolf: One day, I thought I'd just go for it and stick my head through the face-cutout standee.

He said Boots caught him doing it, and Rolf felt embarrassed. But it just reminded me of this picture I took in 2016.

Today, Lolly arrived in town! She lives next door to Booker.

So of course, I quickly went inside to see her again. It’s so good to finally have Lolly in one of my towns again. 😀

Lolly: I want to finish cleaning up and go for a walk, bonbon!

Rolf’s Birthday 2018

I saw on the bulletin board that Bones won the Bug-Off competition this past weekend. But he only won by one point! Wow, close match. I did not participate in the event myself.

~Bug-Off Results~ The winner of the Bug-Off was Bones, 55 Pts. 2nd: Aurora, 54 Pts. 3rd: Molly, 44 Pts.

On Sunday, I finally ran into Bones. He was complaining about not seeing me lately! Dude, I’ve been around, but you never are!

Bones: I don't know if you're ignoring me or if you're just busy. But I have feelings too, you know.
Don’t try to blame this on me, dawg.

On Monday, Aurora asked me to dig up her time capsule.

Aurora: Do you think you could dig up that time capsule I had you bury before?

So I dug it up and took it back to her. There was a pink wave tank inside, and Aurora said it was a favorite of hers. She seemed really happy to have it back.

Aurora: My pink wave tank! Such a favorite of mine!

But to my surprise, she gave me the pink wave tank as my reward! She should have kept it for herself, because I sure wasn’t going to use it.

Today (August 22nd) is Rolf’s birthday. I attended his party and gave him a claw-foot tub as his birthday present. He didn’t seem to enjoy it very much, but he was still glad that I came to his party.

Rolf: Thanks for being here for me on my birthday, tiger!

Boots was also at the party, and seeing his friend Rolf happy made him feel happy as well.

Boots: The birthday kid looks happy! It's infectious, 'cause I'm happy too, in a river!

Outside, I ran into Bones. Wow, twice in one week? It’s a miracle! 😛 Anyway, he told me that Rolf is thinking about moving out of town! I can’t save Rolf from moving when he’s in party mode, but I’ll have to save him one day soon.

Bones: I hear that Rolf is thinking about moving.

My recent dream visitors have been Erica from Eastland, Jeroen from Yanille, Madelyne from Sewanee, Pop from Frontier, and CoolCube from Virtual. Thanks for stopping by!

Ranting About Bones

I’ve had a few campers at the campsite lately, but none that I’ve wanted to invite into town. Not when I get animals like Jambette’s little sister here.

Diva: I'm Diva! And you're... Jeff? Nice to meet you!
And she’s actually the better-looking sister. Yikes.

Boots asked me for some fruit, so I gave him a perfect orange. He loved it, and he rewarded me with a nine lamp. What a reversal…it used to be me giving him number lamps!

Boots: Here you go! It's a gently used nine lamp! Enjoy!
Will he give me an eight lamp next? 😛

Yesterday, Boots asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me ten minutes to find him, Agent S, and Boots. I found Agent S almost immediately, and she was not happy about it.

Agent S: No, no, no!

Before a minute had gone off the timer, I also found Boots near the campsite.

And less than a minute after that, I found Hornsby! His horn gave him away.

I won the game in under two minutes, which is one of the best games I’ve had. I wondered if I would get a better prize for winning so fast, but Hornsby just gave me a common bed. Booooringgggg.

Today, Big Top asked me to catch a shark for him. I’m not going to do it, but I let him think I might. He told me to go work my magic, up his nose. Uh, no thanks.

Big Top: Awesome! Well, go work your magic, up my nose!

I wanted to speak with Bones, but not surprisingly, he was out on a snack run.

I'm out on a snack run! -Bones

I’ve been playing earlier in the day this week (and even in the daylight hours some days) specifically because I was trying to find Bones. And virtually every day, he’s out on a snack run and he’s nowhere in town! Where does he go? It’s frustrating, because I’m trying to get his picture, yet I can never even track him down to speak to him!

I try using the megaphone, but he never responds. Either Agent S responds, Kapp’n responds, or it says he’s not around. Day after day after day. I’m starting to dislike him just for never being around. He seems to be avoiding me, and it’s really annoying. I could understand if it was just once in a while, but this happens more often than not.

He’s probably in a building on Main Street somewhere, but it can take forever to track someone down…especially with all those rooms in the museum. Besides, even if he is on Main Street, he would just talk about being on Main Street. You can’t have normal conversations when they’re up there. Okay, I’m done ranting now. 😛 Sorry about that.

Anyway, my recent dream visitors have been Sarah from Stardew, Maisie from Cairo, Galaxy from Aperture, Chloe from New Leaf, Kai from Awvillle, Sabrinah from London, George from Kamino, Haris from Delfino, and Rose from Newcorn. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend!
