At the event plaza, Isabelle gave me a flower bopper…which I promptly put on. I also bought a cookie from Crazy Redd. Unfortunately, it contained a dud prize.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Redd:
He sells me a dud, and then acts surprised.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But at least he gave me a sparkler as a consolation prize.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tonight, Hornsby asked me to deliver a gift (a common chair) to Marina. She loved the chair, and she rewarded me with a pink pj shirt. That reward actually sounds like her <\/em>style, not mine. But thanks anyway, Marina. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

Boots asked me to catch an ocean fish for him…any <\/em>ocean fish. So I went and caught the first fish I saw. And of course, you know that was a sea bass. \ud83d\ude06 I wouldn’t exactly say he was thrilled with it, but he accepted it.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

He rewarded me with a rally tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground near the plaza, and I eventually returned it to its owner, Inkwell. He said it was his “all-purpose bag of workouty goodness.”<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Inkwell:
Do you even have <\/em>ankles?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He rewarded me with a coconut, which doesn’t sound like the most exciting reward. But I suppose I should be shell<\/em>-ebrating. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
