Marina’s Birthday

When I started up the game today, Tom Nook called me and told me he wanted to talk to me at Resident Services. He said that people have been talking about my house-designing work at Paradise Planning, and they would like me to remodel their homes too!

Tom Nook: I've received inquiries from folks who would like you to remodel their homes. Quite a few, in fact!

So I can now opt to redesign my villagers’ homes! Tom Nook said there is a fee involved, but I can earn miles for each design. I’m glad I’ve finally unlocked this ability, although I didn’t start work on any houses just yet. But I think Agent S might be the first one; she really needs an extreme home makeover.

K.K. Slider was in town, so I asked him to play a random song. He played K.K. Calypso for me, Agent S, Apollo, Ketchup, and Bones. Yeah, it was a pretty decent-sized crowd again this week!

That butterfly enjoyed the show too.

Today is Marina’s birthday, and I was trying to figure out a good gift to give her. Nook’s Cranny didn’t have anything that jumped out at me, so I looked through my crafting options. I figured something aquatic would be fitting, so I ended up making her a mermaid vanity. She seemed to like it!

Marina: Oh, in 2022! You brought me a mermaid vanity!

Marina moved into Forest last August, so this was her first birthday in town. But she’s already looking ahead to next year!

Marina: I hope I can spend my next birthday here on the island too, in 2022.
The next one will be in 2023, not 2022.

As you can see, Louie was also at the party. I figured this would be a good time to try out my new dancing reactions that I learned yesterday!

After the party, I remembered to go out to Lottie’s Island to check the inventory at my new apparel shop (Forest Fit). Even though it’s nothing new to assign villagers roles in the Happy Home Paradise facilities, it feels a bit weird when they’re actually selling you something. It’s like I turned Olivia into a special character! 😛

Olivia: Let's see... It's 2,300 Poki for an attus robe.

See you all next time!
