Sunday, August 23, 2020: Lost Woods and More Fireworks

Isabelle was quick to remind me about the Fireworks Festival again this week. There will be one more next week as the final show of the month. One interesting thing I noticed by Redd's stand was a trash can I could interact with. Interesting...

I spotted what has traditionally been called in past games the ivory piano (it's white instead of the black ebony used on grand pianos), and decided I would pay that price tag. I just had to make some cash first... Wondering through our fruit orchard where I couldn't see my character reminded me of going through this section as Link in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, I'm currently playing through. The layout is strikingly similar! What a coincidence.

I did get the piano though, and upgraded the smaller piano for the grand that is often used in recital halls in real life. I also added this desktop computer to my film studio - I'll have to order more sometime to create my editors' area I was envisioning.

Sable was commenting on this hot summer. I always enjoy seeing season or holiday-specific dialogue.

And Sylvana was asking about my favorite movie genre. As with The Legend of Zelda, I do love my Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, even Avengers films... Funny she mentioned film too, as I'm working on my film studio...

Later in the evening, I turned on the game to see the fireworks show. I did encounter something new from Redd's raffle - a fountain firework! These were in New Leaf, where you'd place it on the ground and watch the colors rise up.

As I watched the fireworks with the villagers, I also caught Sherb using a sparkler of his own - how cute! I liked how Merengue and Clay were sticking to their neighborhood to watch. Did not mean for the exact same firework to be shown in both these screenshots... Oops...

I got a new bug as well, and found my gold spot. The blue boppers were a gift from Isabelle I got today, and the green balloon I got from Redd, so overall, it was a fun night. We'll see if I participate next week or not - we're getting close to a new wave of DLC for September...?
