Today was actually very eventful!
Here's what happened on Shione Island today!
7/17
• There was a visitor at the campsite today; I was initially SO bummed, because it was Marina the Octopus, and I had no open space for her
• Rex apparently left something at Maddie's house; she asked me if I'd return it to him. (It turned out to be a kitty litter box...I don't even wanna know...)
• Kevin told me that C.J. was here today! I gathered up my whale sharks to make a collectible.
• C.J. turned out to be not far from my house this time around! After I gave him the whale sharks, I agreed to his challenge: three big fish in a row. I caught a sea bass and two red snappers (Plucky bought the sea bass off of me).
• Marshal misplaced a bag, and asked me if I could help him find it (I said yes, of course). For some reason, it was right in the entrance to Pekoe's yard.
• Marina alerted me to something important; Kevin was thinking of moving away! I was stuck mulling it over for far longer than I'd like to admit. (Kevin was one of my first villagers here, and Marina had been a past villager of mine in Wild World; this made decision making very hard...) I ended up deciding to continue thinking about it as I completed the tasks I'd already recieved today.
• I finally decided to ask Marina about moving; I'd been having trouble deciding for AT LEAST an hour. (I also ended up playing games with her for a little while) Since I'd already celebrated his birthday, and earned his picture, it was just enough to help me decide, and Marina will be on her way soon! Still, I am going to miss Kevin...I'd better find someone nice who's willing to take him in...
• I was NOT expecting Kevin to start packing so quickly! I immediately put out a call on TBT to find him a good home.
• Went scallop-hunting; Pascal gave me a pearl.
• Cleared out some storage space, again (I do that a lot, I've noticed...)
• I had to get fleas off of poor Maddie
• Gave a few gifts to my villagers
• Crafted and customized multiple shell-themed items.
• Finally crafted the Mermaid Bed and Closet.
• Harry taught me the final reaction left to learn: Inspiration! Huzzah!
• Looked up cool designs and worked on my paths. Also found some cute picnic blanket ideas.
• Wrote Kevin one last letter.
• Went island-hopping to find beetles and sharks (and accidentally dozed off for about an hour)
• Finally caught a scarab beetle!
• Paid off a hefty chunk of my loan, thanks to C.J.
• Landed on a money rock island and made bank!
• Got stung by a scorpion outside of Resident Services because I didn't see it and it startled me...
• Crafted a bunch of items before going to bed.
• Sadly, no one came for Kevin, so I'm a little disappointed
still, I hope he'll be okay, wherever he ends up. Maybe I'll see him visiting some day...
