The very next day after deciding to move out, Marcel was all packed up and ready to go today. In previous Animal Crossing games, villagers still stuck around for about a week (or up to ten days in New Leaf) after deciding to move, so I’m not sure why Nintendo made such a dramatic change in New Horizons. Regardless, I made sure to say goodbye to the moving mime Marcel.
Nook’s Cranny had a paper tiger for sale, so I bought it and placed it in front of Claudia’s house. I think I may do something similar for many of my villagers, at least once my catalog of items has grown enough to the point where I have more animal-themed furniture items.
Able Sisters had a jester’s cap for sale, so I decided to use my tailor’s ticket for it. Now I can be Jeff the jester…or Jeffster, for short.
Saharah was in town, and I bought some wallpaper from her for 3,000 bells. She gave me the “kisses wall,” which is just a bunch of lips. I promptly gave the wallpaper a kiss goodbye and sold it to the Nooklings.
Midge taught me the “fearful” reaction, and it seemed fitting considering that a scary creature was walking by, right behind her!
Cat from Outset came over to adopt Marcel…or at least that was the plan. But it turned out Cat had a full town of villagers, so Marcel wouldn’t move to Outset. As of this entry being posted, Cat is still trying to move someone out, so I’ll update this entry later.
Later on, the new update for the game arrived (a day early). After installing the update, I received a letter from the Bank of Nook stating that the interest rate on savings accounts has been reduced. And I didn’t even have a chance to take advantage of the previous rate since I’m still in debt. 😛 Greedy Tom Nook! But as a consolation, he sent a bell-bag rug. Exciting.
There was also a new letter from Nintendo, thanking me for downloading the update. A world map was attached to this letter. Here is a look at both items.
More importantly, Blathers announced that he will now accept works of art for display in the museum. Yay for art! 😛
I also noticed that the infamous “kindess” typo has been fixed.
Louie asked if I was interested in a treasure hunt, and I said yes. He gave me six minutes to find the buried item, but I found it in just 35 seconds. The gift was some cyber shades, which I put on…for now, at least.
By the way, I have posted my obstacle course video that I recorded yesterday. Enjoy!
Have a great day, and I’ll see you all next time! 🙂
Update: It took all evening, all night, and into the wee hours of the morning 😂, but Cat finally made room for Marcel. So Marcel is on his way to the island of Outset. Good luck in your new town, Marcel!
