Yesterday, I ran into Resetti in the Roost. He was a pleasure, as always. 🙄
Since I had a rare vacancy in town, I stopped into Resident Services and redeemed some Nook Miles for some Nook Miles Tickets. But unlike last time, I wasn’t loading up with ten of them. This time, I decided to use no more than five NMTs. And if I didn’t find anyone good, then so be it. I’d risk a random villager.
When I was ready, I headed to the airport and flew to the first mystery island. Sylvia the kangaroo was there.
I don’t particularly care for her, so it was easy to pass on my first option. So I quickly bounced.
The 2nd mystery island had my old buddy Teddy!
I’ve been a fan of him since the early GameCube days, when he lived in my town for a while before hopping a train to another town. But did I want him in New Horizons? I wasn’t sure, so I thought about it as I banged the multitude of money rocks on the island.
As tempting as it was, I ultimately decided to pass on Teddy this time. But maybe in the future! I headed off to my 3rd mystery island, and I found Merengue the “strawberry shortcake” rhino. 🍰
Her horn appears to be an upside-down strawberry, and maybe it was making me hungry. I almost surprised myself when I decided to adopt her. She’s not a villager I normally would’ve thought about taking, but for some reason, it just seemed right. For a long time, Forest had a pink villager in Midge, Marina, and then Midge again. So I guess Merengue fills that role, haha. Or like I said, maybe I was just feeling hungry at the time. 😉 She is strangely appetizing. I mean, appealing. 😉
Today, she officially moved into town. Welcome to Forest, Merengue! 🙂
Are you surprised I took Merengue? Let me know in the comments below!
Anyway, Flick was in town today, and I sold him 27 bugs for a total of 99,450 bells. 💰
Enjoy your weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time! 🙂
