Sasha Hops to Town

Yesterday, Eloise asked me to join her on the bench in the north part of town (near the north beach, but up on the cliff). So I joined her briefly.

Eloise and Jeff sit on a bench on a cold winter night.

It was getting late, so I wanted to at least try to look for a new villager. I grabbed some Nook Miles Tickets out of storage, but I decided to use no more than three of them. My first trip took me to a tarantula island for the first time! There were a bunch of them walking around at once, and when I caught one of them, another one attacked me!

Jeff passes out after being attacked by a tarantula. Several other tarantulas roam around nearby.

I ended up catching a total of five tarantulas. I could’ve caught more, but I needed to refocus on getting a new villager. Jitters was there, but I wasn’t interested in him.

Jitters: Hey there! Awesome to meet you. My name's Jitters. What about you? Where you from?

But it is kind of funny how animals on mystery islands will fearlessly walk through a pack of tarantulas, while on our own islands, they freak out if they even see one.

On my next mystery island, which happened to a spiral island, I was very surprised to find Sasha!

Sasha is one of the new villagers added in the 2.0 update…and probably the cutest of the bunch. So I couldn’t resist inviting Sasha to Forest!

A few other quick notes about yesterday:

  • I made another perfect snowboy, and he said he’d mail my reward.
  • I got a DIY recipe for frozen floor tiles from a balloon present.
  • Wisp gave me a shoji divider.

Today, I found Gullivarrr in town. Or at least, I found his head. 😛

Gullivarrr: That means...I'm lost at sea!

I went diving for his communicator, and he will send me a gift later.

When I checked my mail, I found a frozen mini snowperson from the snowboy yesterday. I later made another perfect snowboy.

And of course, I went to greet the new green and white bunny in town. Welcome to Forest, Sasha!

Sasha: Hey, Jeff! Man, I took your advice and moved here as quick as I could!
