so i have been so busy playing the game (and in real life being sick and having to go to the hospital to get checked out. it’s ok. it’s just bronchitis!) that i haven’t updated here. i was worried i wouldn’t finish the quests before the end of the reunion so i made a point to be very dedicated to the game. the most tedious quest was the snowball making. it honestly took me 3 separate days (not the whole day of course!). i was constantly on my farm harvesting snow and also some oats, lemons, and strawberries for fruitcakes since i didn’t have enough stored in my warehouse from FB. the only quest i really had trouble with was the one where you had to get the misteltoe. there were so many people after the hermit crabs (this was before i knew the misteltoe came from other monsters) that it was hard to kill them. there aren’t very many hermit crabs in this game! i thought it might be the same way with the big boars (boxpigs) when i had to get the meat, but it wasn’t so bad. i went way up to North Wind Grassland (i think that’s what it’s called. it’s past Paris) and there was a big mob there and not many other players. when other people did show up we sort of had an unspoken rule about sharing which is nice. a lot of people KS and just don’t even care about other players at all. it makes me happy to know that people are curteous in game. i always try to be.

anway, besides quests i did a whole lot of catching up with my friends that i hadn’t seen since FB! the first person to message me was Tidesong. i never did run into her in game though! then i found ripplecloud and had chitchat with her. it’s rare for me to run into her since i think we play at different times so it was really cool to actually talk to her for a bit since i read her blog all the time! then of course was Tigerlyly! i think i did talk to Starrfire for a short bit too. then of course my whole guild who are incredibly amusing! we had a secret santa where people could ask for in game items or help with quests. mine was Kireu and i gave her everything to turn in to get Santa’s reins. Astroasis had me! she gave half the honey i needed for the hams! that was greatly appreciated! Cricket, who set up the whole thing ended up not getting a secret santa since she set it up but i have a few things for her ~_^

anyways, on to the screenies!

first my encounter with ripplecloud which was truly hysterical!

then i discovered the wonders of my now talking dog, Ocha chan

he was kind of embarrassing! i didn’t know if other people could read what he said so i tried not to take him out in public!

pooing was clearly his favorite thing

staying up late has it’s perks! no other players to fight over honey with!

it was a bee massacre!
