January 18th
With Bill moving out and a free spot opening up on the island I decided it was the perfect time to do some island travelling and find the next villager for my island! It can sometimes take a long time trying to find the perfect resident so I planned to just spend the day villager hunting, just had to listen to the morning announcements first...
A rather unexpected turn of events
or expected if I spent more time talking to villagers, reading my mail or checking the noticeboard, so now as well as finding a new island member I also needed to find time for a birthday celebration. Deciding to get my priorities straight I grabbed some Nook Miles tickets and headed to the airport, this empty house plot wasn't going to sell itself and Sherb would still be partying into the evening!
I generally like to tell myself that I'm keeping an open mind when villager hunting and am willing to consider anyone but if I'm really honest I was only looking for Sasha or Shino today - there will be other days to be open to other villagers. After a quick catch up with the dodos and the usual long winded check in I begun my island hopping...
Erm... you're great Beau but you lived on my island for months - was it really that forgettable?!
Not who I'm looking for today but one day Puck you'll be invited to the island
My first lazy villager, nice to have a catch up
even if he has not idea who I am
After visiting 20 islands with no luck I may've got distracted by the bed when I headed back to the house to grab some more Nook Miles tickets and unfortunately when I left the house again it had somehow turned to the evening. Focusing on the task at hand I planned to head straight to the airport when low and behold...
I spotted a pleasant but very unexpected visitor to the island, you wait ages for a meteor shower and then two come at once! Taking a quick detour to the campsite at the back of the island I had a long overdue catch up with Celeste and found a few moments to wish on some stars on the way.
On my travels I also decided to pop in on another elusive island resident who lives just next to the pumpkin patch, unfortunately I was unable to have a catch up as it seemed she had headed out for the evening
and still managed to leave her shower running but I did find a moment to make myself comfy and take a rest by the fire.
Remembering what I was really supposed to be doing I picked up my next batch of tickets and rushed off back to the dodos. Preparing for a long night of villager hunting I boarded the plane and looked forward to seeing who was waiting on the next island...
Really? I spent so many previous villager hunts searching for you and now when I'm not looking you finally show up?! As tempting as it was to invite Portia I decided to hold out, even if it meant using 100 more tickets before finding who I really wanted...
Wow! 22 tickets in and I actually find who I'm looking for, RNG was definitely feeling kind today or at least very sorry for me and my usual lack of quick success on these hunts.
Introducing myself to Shino, I very quickly invited her to come and live on the island - rather then been shocked by my forwardness as you might expect she instead jumped at the chance to move to Flolagio after been asked by someone she met less then a minute ago, what a result! Saying a quick goodbye I rushed back to the plane to get on my with my final visit of the day...
Been out all day, honestly surprised there's any cake left
Making a quick detour back home to get changed and grab a quick gift
yes it's from storage but I did gift him a holiday home yesterday! I then headed straight to the party and spent the rest of the evening celebrating and dancing the night away with Sherb and Wolfgang, a great end to a busy day!
