Tiger Plans Escape

Claudia surprised me today by telling me that she’s moving out of town! I didn’t try to stop her.

Claudia: Ideally you'd be sitting down for this, but...I've decided that I'm going to be moving away!

I received several items in the mail that I ordered for my new project, and I spent a good portion of time working on that new area. I experimented with several different layouts until I found something that I liked. But I’m not done with it, and I’m still not ready to show it.

However, I do think I’ll show it tomorrow. I ordered a couple more things, and it should all be presentable after I put those in. It still won’t be a completely finished project for a while, since I still want to add some things I don’t have in my catalog yet. But it’ll be good enough for the time being. 🙂

A balloon present I shot down contained an electric kick scooter. I thought that would be a good addition to my new area, so I kept it. 😉

As the day went on, I started having second thoughts about letting Claudia leave. Even though I’m not a big fan of hers, it just seems so soon, you know? It’s barely been a month since she moved in. And I think I’ve only pitfall’d her once?

I spoke to her repeatedly, but she never gave an option to change her mind. A quick Google search reveals you apparently need to use a second character to change a villager’s mind. And I wasn’t about to create a 2nd character just for that… I didn’t want her back that bad!

Anyway, today’s message bottle had an interesting DIY recipe inside: a leaf! You just need five clumps of weeds to make a leaf.

And in case you’re wondering, the leaf is the accessory you wear in your mouth, not the fake piece of furniture that Tortimer gives you on April Fools Day in ACCF.

One of my new rocks was in a bad location, so I destroyed it. But later on, I accidentally destroyed a different rock…one that was actually in a good location. Ugh.

Today I learned that Hornsby is a computer hacker. 😂 No wonder the villagers know so much about what we do every day!

Hornsby: I hacked into the Forest mainframe and saw that you have a lotta NookPhoneCrannyIsland Miles.

But then he implied that he was joking, saying that he just saw that in a movie recently. Hmmm, I’m not sure what to believe. 😛

There was a meteor shower in town tonight, so I wished on several shooting stars. 🌠

Before I wrapped up my night, Claudia had one last gift for me: She taught me the “amazed” reaction. That also earned me a new achievement, for learning a total of 30 reactions.

I learned the Amazed Reaction! I'm so impressed!

That’s all for now, but I’ll be back with more tomorrow. Hope to see you then!
