Month: April 2023

On Friday, Ankha asked me if the weather was gorgeous, in a pyramid.

I don’t know, it might be a little dusty, dry, and dark in there.

I grabbed five Nook Miles Tickets and headed off to some mystery islands to hunt for a possible new villager. Pango the anteater greeted me on the first one, and she was standing on one foot. 😛

My options were not looking very enticing, especially when Walt and Biff were on the next two islands. However, I was a bit surprised to find my buddy Hornsby on the 4th island!

I like Hornsby a lot, but I just had him and let him go. He only moved out in January, after all…so I left him there and continued on. The 5th (and final) island had Alice the koala. Even though she’s cute, I chose not to adopt her (sorry, Xavier). 😛

At this point, I decided to just roll the dice on a random villager. I checked the plot yesterday, and I was quite surprised to see who was moving in! It was a villager I’ve already had before: Midge!

Midge moved out in 2021, and it feels so weird to have someone move back in again so soon. I haven’t even had any former New Leaf villagers move back in, and that town is almost ten years old!

K.K. Slider was in town last night, and he performed K.K. Fusion for me, Bones, Ankha, and Punchy.

Today, I went in to meet Midge. She did not seem to remember me. But welcome back, Midge! 🙂

She came from J.C. Island, which is Jac’s town. I kinda wish villagers didn’t move back in so soon like this (unless it was intentional, from using an amiibo, of course). This didn’t happen in the older games; whenever a villager returns in GameCube or City Folk, I find it’s usually at least 7-10 years from their first stint in town. (Unless it was a result of train travel on GameCube.)

But at least Midge is a character that I know and like. I just hope it isn’t awkward between her and Marina, though. Marina is the other pink normal animal in town…the one who took Midge’s original house plot. 😛

I found a lost item on the beach today, and it turned out to be Louie’s workout journal. He thanked me for returning it, and he gave me some simple sunglasses.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

On Wednesday, Gulliver sent me a hula doll in the mail.

Yesterday, Sasha told me that he wanted to move away to see the world. I thought about it, and I decided to let him go. He has lived in town for a year and four months (since December 2021), so he’s had a nice run.

Ankha asked me for a new catchphrase, and I decided to use one that Beth suggested: In a pyramid. 😆

Huck the frog was camping at the campsite, so I said hello. I wasn’t interested in him, even though he’s clearly a lot better than the frog I got in City Folk last week. 😛

Today was Sasha’s moving day. He said that on TV, nobody says “goodbye.” They just smile and say “I’ll see ya later,” he told me. And that’s exactly what he did.

Jolly Redd’s ship was parked on the north beach, and he had very low-priced products today! He was selling a bath bucket for 250 bells, and a toothbrush-and-cup set for 630 bells. That’s both non-art items for under 1,000 bells! Maybe Redd’s not as greedy as I thought he was! 😉

At those prices, I didn’t even bother checking my catalog to see if I needed those color variations. I just bought them.

I’ll probably use some Nook Miles Tickets tomorrow to hunt for a new villager. But if I don’t find anyone good after a few tries, I may just leave it to chance. See you soon!

Sunday was Easter, which is known as Bunny Day in Animal Crossing. Sasha seemed pretty excited about it, although I’m wondering if he thought it was about him. 😉

The villagers are dressed in costumes, and Rio looked she just hatched out of the egg outfit she was wearing. 😛

Of course, Zipper T. Bunny was also in town. He wanted me to craft all of the Bunny Day DIYs, which I’ve obviously done before. So he gave me a Bunny Day wand. He also wanted one egg of each type; I gave him those and he rewarded with a Bunny Day basket. And with that, my Bunny Day tasks were already complete.

Last night, K.K. Slider had a rare Monday night show, performing K.K. Milonga for me, Sasha, Static, Agent S, and Punchy.

Today was Punchy’s birthday, and I headed over to attend his party. His next-door neighbor Louie was also there.

For a gift, I gave him a toy box that I bought at the shop. It has a bunch of toys in it, that a cat should enjoy playing with. He really seemed to enjoy it. 🙂

Gulliver was on the beach today, and I dug up his five communicator parts for him. He’ll be sending me another reward in the mail soon.
