Party Time

Today was my character’s birthday, and Agent S appeared outside my house to kidnap me. I ended up at her house, where she, Keaton, and Hornsby wished me a happy birthday.

Everyone: HAPPY BIRTHDAAAY!!!

Spoiler warning. If you haven’t experienced your birthday in New Horizons yet, and you want everything to be a surprise, you may want to skip today’s blog entry. Otherwise, feel free to continue.

Agent S told me to make a wish and blow out my birthday candles, so I did. She gave a present from the three of them; it was some party flooring. Next, I was given a stick and told to beat up a pinata! I whacked it repeatedly, and eventually cupcakes fell out!

There were ten of them; I ate one and held on to the rest.

I returned home and checked my mail. Mom sent me a birthday letter, with “Mom’s homemade cake” attached. I realized Nook’s Cranny was about to close, so I rushed there. Just before getting kicked out, I was able to buy the throwback rocket and colorful wheel. This version of the wheel resembles the wheel in Desert Island Escape.

At the plaza, I was quite surprised to see K.K. Slider here! I was wondering why they keep bouncing him around from Saturday to Sunday to Friday. And then I realized he was here because of my birthday. So he performed K.K. Birthday for me (and Tybalt). But the weird part is that birthday letters appeared on-screen as he sang!

To my BFF, superstar! You're not just my BFF, you're my CBHBFFAEY too! That means, My Coolest Birthday-Having Best Friend Forever and Ever, YAY!... -Agent S

These were not letters I received in the mail, so it’s a bit confusing as to why they’re popping up in the air as K.K. sang. But I had “letters” from Agent S, Rizzo, Blathers, and Orville. It was nice, I just don’t understand it. 😛

There was a tent at the campsite, and I was wondering if I would have a great camper to adopt. But instead, I found Tiffany inside.

Tiffany: Ah, do you live here? I'm Tiffany. A pleasure.
Yes, we’ve met in City Folk. I pitfall’d you so many times you apparently lost your memory.

She was wearing a tuxedo dress, which seems like a weird article of clothing on its own…and an even weirder thing to wear while camping. 😛

I went around town, offering cupcakes to my villagers. They would typically give me a birthday present in return.

Tia: So nice of you to share your birthday cupcake with me!

Here’s a list of what they gave:

  • Louie: birthday cake
  • Lopez: birthday table
  • Tia: birthday hat
  • Keaton: birthday sign
  • Midge: birthday shades
  • Hornsby: birthday candles
  • Apple: party wall
  • Rizzo: cycling shirt

Leave it to Rizzo to break up the birthday gift trend. 😛 I couldn’t give one to Tybalt or Agent S because they were sitting down (Tybalt at K.K.’s show, Agent S in the chair by her house).

But I had a good time overall. The pinata and cupcakes were a surprise to me, and it’s nice to get these birthday items. I’ll keep them in storage.

Hornsby: Hey, I got an idea. Let's be friends forever. I mean, if you don't have anything else on your schedule?
How about giving me your photo first?

Have a good night, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow, so I’ll see you then!
