Today was the grand opening of Able Sisters! I went to check it out, and I appreciate the shop’s new layout (at last). 😉
I really like the fitting room, where you can see how various items look on you. I just don’t know why my character has to do ridiculous poses every time I try something on. 😛
They didn’t have anything I wanted to buy today, but I’ll have to keep checking every day!
After grabbing some materials out of storage, I finally crafted a fountain for my town! I placed it a bit in front of town hall, which is also just a bit behind my house. It looks nice, but I’ll want to plant some flowers around it at some point.
I also rearranged my yard a bit. I moved some trees around, made my fenced-off area a bit bigger, and arranged some of the red roses I have planted (which I bought from the shop in Merka’s town).
After that, I went to meet my newest neighbor, Tia. I’m glad to have her around, and she is now my 2nd favorite villager (behind Agent S).
However, I’m starting to regret putting her house where it is. I envisioned using the west edge of my town for an obstacle course at some point, but that didn’t cross my mind at the time I chose the spot for her house. Of course, I know it can be moved. But I don’t want to move her house right away when she just moved in. 😛
Gulliver was washed up on the beach again, and he made a reference to his spaceship-piloting days in Wild World and City Folk. He said “Don’t make me go back to space!” 😀 I appreciated the reference. 🛸
Tonight, it appeared that both Louie and Marcel were holding purses near town hall! Well, I guess Louie’s might have been a tote bag or shopping bag, but Marcel’s definitely looked like a purse.
Inside town hall, Isabelle informed me that my island rating was up to two stars. That’s still not very good, but it’s a step up from yesterday. I’ll take it! She said I need to add more appealing scenery, and she mentioned that I could use more fencing in particular.
When I ran into Louie, he taught me the “shocked” reaction! Yes! This is one of the best ones to have. I replaced “surprise” with “shocked” on my emotion wheel, since they’re similar (but “shocked” is superior).
I collected Gulliver’s communicator parts and returned them to him. He will be sending me a gift in the mail.
Rizzo was hiding in his house today, so I was unable to use any more pitfalls on him. But he hasn’t seen the last of me! 😉
Just a note: I do not plan on having a Friday Night Forest this week. It will probably return next week. Have a great day, everyone!
Update: I forgot to mention this when I first posted the entry, but I noticed that more cherry blossom petals were falling as of today. Many of them are just for decoration and can’t be caught (much like the ones in earlier games), but it does make things look prettier around town! 🌸
