Successful Villager Hunt

Yesterday, Daisy Mae was in town, and she was selling turnips for 92 bells apiece. I bought 2,200 of them.

But more importantly, I was on a mission. I had ten Nook Miles Tickets and one goal: To find a new villager to replace Midge. So I went to one mystery island after another, seeking that perfect animal to add to Forest. If you want to see how it all played out, including who I almost took, check out my new video before reading the rest of this entry:

Rio was talking about my hair, and she said she’d like to try a new hairdo to keep up with my style. Imagine Rio with a mohawk. 😆

Rio: You know, I need to keep up with your style... Maybe I'll try a new hairdo!

I found a scallop while diving, and Pascal showed up to talk about attacking your food with utensils.

Pascal: If you don't have enough utensils to attack all the food on your plate, you need reinforkments, maaan.
That’s even worse than my puns. 😛

Today, I found my new villager’s house. It looks nice!

The exterior of June's new house.

Of course, I went inside to greet the new animal. Welcome to Forest, June! I’m thrilled to have you here! 🙂

June: I've relocated, but as you can see, I've got a lot of unpacking to do...

She’s one of the cutest villagers in the entire series, and her wallpaper and carpeting (not to mention her outfit) reflect her status as an original islander on GameCube. 🏝️

It was raining in town tonight, and I caught a nice coelacanth!

Jeff, holding a coelacanth: Blast from the past!

A few minutes later, I also caught a blue marlin and an oarfish! I’ll save them all for C.J., but that’s a nice little haul!

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll be looking forward to getting to know June in the coming days and weeks. 🙂 See you all next time!
