Toilet Island

Last night, my bank account balance reached 35 million bells. Honestly, I’ve been close to that figure for a few months…but I kept spending bells before I hit the milestone. A lot of bells went to Version 2.0 update-related features (like the storage upgrades) and items (like the castle towers/gates/walls–those things are expensive!).

Today, I found some more purple hyacinth flowers budding. This is my 2nd time finding some…at least as far as I’m aware. Considering I almost sold the one I dug up today because it looked blue to my colorblind eyes, it’s certainly possible that I’ve had purple ones before last week, and just didn’t notice. I had this same problem in New Leaf, with the purple and blue varieties of some flowers looking almost indistinguishable to me.

There was a tent at the campsite, so I went inside and saw this.

Paula the bear. No thank you.

I flew out to Lottie’s island to work a shift at Paradise Planning. I tried to use the amiibo machine to call up Tom Nook, but I was told I can’t connect with VIP clients yet. Apparently that means no special characters until I get further in the game.

So I went out to the beach, and I saw that Zelda’s father (Lionel) had a very unusual request. He wants a vacation home that features lots of toilets?!

He called it a “Restroom Refuge.” So I picked out an island for him that looked like a toilet seat. 😂

Since Lionel said you can never have too many toilets, I tested out that theory. I filled his front yard with toilets, and I added a couple of fountains (even though I couldn’t use the regular fountain yet). I also added a backlit sign to welcome visitors to Toilet Island. It was customized to say VIP. The “I.P.” sounds like “I pee,” so I thought it was kind of funny. I’m not sure what the V stands for, though. “Verily, I pee?” 😂

When I went inside, Niko told me that I can now use partition walls to separate rooms. That could be useful for separating a bathroom from a living space.

I initially had the idea of placing a golden toilet atop a forbidden altar. But I couldn’t do that, because the toilet can’t be placed on other furniture. Oh well, at least I gave it a try. 😛

Instead, I filled the left side of the room with more toilets (including a litter box in case some of his friends are cats), and a couple of sinks as well. The other part of the room is a small living space, with a bed, lamp, and tables with lots of liquids to drink. 😛 I just went with the flow, using an abstract wall and gray argyle-tile flooring.

Lionel was satisfied (and presumably, relieved) to have so many toilets at his disposal. Lottie gave me 9,000 Poki for completing the task. Niko then sent me a DIY recipe for a partition wall to use in my own house.

See you next time!
