Continuation of my post about my visit to Hazzard island on the 16th of July. Today I will share with you my favorite spots on the island.
I visited inside Jenny's house and loved the villager pictures. She has so many! The outside even if it still under construction has a few spots that I already enjoy like the entrance to the island. Everything is so well organized and displayed. It is going to look even more amazing when it is finished.
Now let's talk about Al. The resident that seemed to be the most happy to see me. I never had Al in my town but my love for him started all the way back in New Leaf. At the time I used to trade items with a person that had Al in town and each time I visited I always talked to the residents. Al was the one who was always happy to see me each time and that stuck on my memory. It seems in New horizons he hasn't changed. Maybe Jay is my favorite dreamie but Al has become my favorite villager to visit outside my town.
Now that you have the context let me tell you how he introduced himself to me in Hazzard. I was visiting the residents when Al walks towards me and Jenny.
After talking to Jenny he comes up to me and stands there.
He seems really happy to talk to me and I think he remembers me even though he seemed not to...the other residents in Hazzard weren't as relaxed as he was so he must know me, right?! After that I follow Jenny around a bit and then I find Al again. Now he wants me to move in and sleep over at his house XD Well he is not fooling me now! He remembers me! Of course I had to politely refuse because I have the Drimusa island to deal with. His clothing choice is amazing by the way! I love it.
I was a a bit surprised by the "ayyyee" as I didn't realize it is his catchphrase but is so similar to Jay's "heeeeyy". At that moment I thought he was trying to copy Jay's (my dreamie) catchphrase so he could impress me XD You know what? That is now my headcanon for Al and Laria Nook.
Roscoe already lived in Drimusa once and since he is familiar with me he joked around a bit but he wasn't nice about it. I don't mind as I'm one of the fans that wish residents were a little meaner. When I got out of the house Al was nearby and somehow knew about the situation and warned me about the strange "vibes". He's worried and that's really sweet. Now if Roscoe had been meaner to me this encounter would have been a lot more impacful but I can always headcanon.
Eventually my time to leave Hazzard came and Al made sure to be there to say goodbye. He's such a sweet guy
He did a little dance as goodbye and the experience in Hazzard was even more special thanks to him. I'm glad to see Al after all these years. I find it curious how my love for this lazy gorilla didn't come from my interactions with him in my own game but by visiting him on other players towns. He's the only villager with that backstory with Laria Nook and that makes him unique in my eyes. Jenny has a great resident here that I hope he can make the Hazzard experience special for Jenny.
