So, before we get to Isabelle and May Day, while this is technically before rollover, it wouldn’t be possible until May 1st so I’m including it today!
I took a stop to a Southern Hemisphere island to get my final fish: the Blowfish!
With it in hand, I quickly headed home to donate it to Blathers. Now I just have Bugs and Art left…
I loved seeing how the museum is all built up. I can’t wait to have the other sections filled out.
The clock then slowly ticked over and I have to admit, I kind of agree with Isabelle’s assessment here.
Now that any of it has been particularly relaxing… Regardless, of course that meant after Isabelle’s announcements (and letting us know it is indeed May Day), we had a very special letter:
New gold tool recipe!!
I also got a really lovely letter from Teddy and a new item from Mom– her Knapsack!:
It wasn’t one of the super priority ones, but it’s at least one I like so I’m happy about that.
I also had gotten another Phone case to finally have some kind of pattern actually on my Nook phone.
With all that done, it was time for fossil hunting! I also remembered about the Stars on the beach so I decided to run along my beach as well. Today’s Bottled recipe was from Timbra– a Wooden Chair.
Leif also ended up being here today. My Nature Day task ended up be to plant 3 bushes which I’m guessing may be due to Leif’s presence. I hope they’ll look nice where I decided to put them. I need to get more Pink Camellia bushes :/ I thought I had more, but apparently I’ve out and the Hydrangeas don’t look as nice as they did in New Leaf. Thankfully, Filia sent some over T~T
While I managed to find all my fossils pretty quickly (three being in super close proximity to one another), the Star Fragments were actually kind of lacking which made me really sad. I also put the fake Informative statue up here as I liked the color, but I’m kind of rethinking it knowing they are all kind of haunted.
Regardless, with the chores done, it was finally May Day time! I had noticed the Nook Miles letter mentioned new Seasonal items for Nook Miles, but I didn’t see anything available… Maybe after I do the May Day tour.
And thus, it was off to the airport!
I’ll admit, that made me nervous at first, but in the end, this was actually really fun. I loved the puzzle-nature of it and the only thing I was sad about was that I had messed up when switching tools and it cost my a fruit… but I only lost out on some Bell Vouches so it’s fine. I definitely hope to do more though.
It was really nice meeting Rover. It also sounded like we may hopefully see him again sometime soon. Fingers crossed!
And thus, it was back to Pink Sea.
I, of course, stopped by my house first to pick up my belongings from the mail. I love the item we get from him so much. I really want to find somewhere nice for it.
I then went off to see Tom Nook to let him know I took the tour. This was a really sweet conversation. And Tom Nook calling us “Partner” is such a surprise considering what he’s gone through T~T
I had expected to be able to get more tickets to go more, but… it was just the one. What really gets me is I could’ve reset the maze and fixed my mistake where I used one fruit more than I wanted instead of the axe I crafted and gotten everything. But I left it because I was like “I can make up for it on the next one” thinking I could get a ticket for one, but now I just feel kind of like a failure. It doesn’t matter if I knew what was wrong when I failed to execute it properly.
And it was then I realized the “Seasonal items” was for the Nook Shopping thing– not Nook Miles. There was a Mother’s Day mug for sale. I bought two.
The only thing I can catch right now that I still have left is the Scorpion which wouldn’t be out for about 12 hours at the time of me doing all this. I’ll probably look around then or maybe even try doing one of those island set-up things, catch one, and run for my life. I’ll also probably poke in to check for recipes and for when the shops open.
The only other thing I could try for is the Walking Stick, but only in Southern Hemisphere islands and I haven’t seen any confirmation they show up when the gate is open. I don’t believe they’ve ever been “offline only” bugs, but I just have not managed to see them even when looking for them exclusively. As it is, I swear tree spawns are just… way down in this game, especially when online, but maybe I’m just crazy.
In the meantime, Mika and I headed over to Ruu’s for a small catalog party and Meteor shower! She also had both Saharah AND Celeste so it was pretty eventful.
After that, I stopped by Filia’s town for some Beetle training. I’ve always struggled with them a lot, but at least New Leaf let me get in a lot of practice with the island. The timing is slightly different this time around though so I really need the practice or I’ll never manage to get them. I suppose part of it is also just out of habit– offhand, I want to say July will be really busy for me, because, well, it used to be. But isn’t now. For reasons not related to the quarantine. I don’t really want to talk about it and just thinking about it makes me really sad, but regardless, July is a rough month for me either way and the less I have to worry about, the better.
He also had shooting stars so I made sure to make some wishes too.
Finally, evening hit and thus, it was Scorpion time. I had no luck finding one around my island (which may have been for the best), so it was time for drastic measures– heading for a Nook Miles island and setting it up to force a spawn. At first, I was worried it wouldn’t work out due to the river and it not being completely flat, but I think it actually worked out better as they weren’t spawning at a ridiculous speed that I couldn’t keep up with and in the end, the mission was successful:
With that done, the only thing to do is hope Gulliver shows up more and gives me the items I need… Or try to visit the Southern Hemisphere in hopes for Mushroom things… Otherwise, it’s just going to be a lot of waiting. Just like waiting for Phil, Alfonso, and Margie to want to move.
