On Wednesday, Leonardo the lion was camping out at the campsite. He wanted to play a game with me, but it involved me buying something from him (potentially at a high price), so I declined the request.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Leonardo,<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

On Thursday, Molly asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek with her. She assured me that she was really good at hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Molly:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

She gave me 15 minutes to find her, Rolf, and Inkwell.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Molly:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But within seconds, I had already found Molly! The starting banner hadn’t even disappeared off-screen yet. And Molly was the one that was so sure she was good at hiding! I guess she quacked <\/em>under the pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"I
The duck forgot to cover.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Since I had a lot of time to search, I took my time and stopped to catch an eel over near Lolly’s house. But I spotted something else in the background…Inkwell!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"I
Seconds later, I also caught a big orange squid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And with 11 and a half minutes still on the timer, I found Rolf trying to hide behind the instrument shelter! That was still a quick win, even though I wasn’t rushing. They were just really bad at hiding this time. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Rolf<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Molly gave me a kiwi stool as my prize for winning.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Molly:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hornsby approached me and told me that he spent all of his money on a chocolate fountain. Easy to do. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Hornsby:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He wanted me to buy it for 1,760 bells. I meant to say no, but I guess I clicked the wrong thing and ended up buying it anyway. Oh well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, Hornsby sent me a racer 6 tee in the mail. I decided to put it on, just to wear something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cube wanted me to visit his house, so we had to schedule a time (6 p.m.). I don’t normally agree to these, but I make exceptions when I still need a villager’s photo. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Cube:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Moments later, Cube asked for a new catchphrase. I told him to say “it froze,” although that choice hasn’t paid off just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shook a nearby tree, and a bathtub fell out! Oops! I hope it didn’t belong to Agent S or some other squirrel who lived up there. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Standing<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When 6:00 rolled around, I ran over to Cube’s house.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Cube:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He didn’t give me any gifts, but he did ask if I wanted to buy anything. I ultimately bought his astro CD player for 2,150 bells. After ten minutes of pointless, repetitious chat and standing around, I left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, Cube sent me a letter talking about my visit yesterday. He sent me a gift, but it was just an hourglass. Clearly he’s mocking me for all the time (the years, really) that I’ve been trying to earn his photo. \ud83d\ude1b \u23f3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah seemed like he wasn’t fully awake yet. He said the sun was so bright that it felt like lasers were shooting into his brain. Maybe he had a late night of club-hopping<\/em>. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Jeremiah:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Tonight, I made a rare trip up to Club LOL. K.K. Slider was around, so I asked him for a random song. He performed “Only Me” for me, Hamlet, and Hippeux. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"K.K.<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

(Well actually, Dr. Shrunk was in the back shaking his booty too.) \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
