Rio Relocates

Sunday was Bunny Day (Easter), and Zipper T. Bunny was in town. He was talking about his eggs (as usual), and Ketchup looked at him like he was crazy. (He is.)

Zipper: Anyway, my favorite day is finally here! Time to fill this island with lots of bunny cheer!

I spoke to him from behind and I got a good look at Zipper’s zipper.

He gave me another Bunny Day wand, and that’s about all there was to do.

On Tuesday, Ankha asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “in my tomb.” So I told her to say “I hate it,” and I love it!

Ankha: Wow! You have great taste in words! I'll use this right away, I hate it!

I think this catchphrase is going to provide so much fun, for weeks to come. 😆

Ankha: If you know who's responsible, tell them that Ankha says they do fabulous work, I hate it.

In Resident Services, I found a striped shirt in the recycle box and I decided to put it on. Bones later asked me for a wharf roach, so I searched for one in the rain. When I finally caught it for him, he rewarded me with a pacifier. He said it’s perfect for me!

Bones: tadaa! It's a pacifier! it's perfect for you!

He’s calling me a baby, right? I mean, there’s no other way to take that. 👶

On Wednesday, Rio told me she was thinking about moving out of Forest. I hadn’t let anyone leave for the past 11 months (when Punchy moved out last May), so I’ve been meaning to let somebody go. Rio has become that somebody.

Rio: I'm thinking of moving off this island...

She has lived in Forest for nearly three years, which is a fairly long time. So I had a good chance to get to know her. I said my final goodbye to her on Thursday.

Rio: We'll be super far apart... But I'll always remember jetsetter and my tres superstar friend.

I then grabbed five Nook Miles Tickets out of storage and headed to a mystery island. I decided that if I didn’t find anyone good, I’d roll the dice on a random move-in. However, that wouldn’t be necessary… I found a familiar face on the very first island I visited. Peanut!

Peanut: If I lived on an island...slacker, I'd be the CALMEST, most relaxed squirrel pp star you ever met!

I recently had Peanut in my Wild World town (from 2021-2024) and she grew on me a lot in that span. I like her a lot, so I didn’t hesitate to ask her to move to Forest. Of course, she won’t be the only squirrel pop star in Forest since I already have Agent S. But I’m happy to invite her to town! 🙂

Peanut moved in today, and I stopped by to greet her. Welcome to Forest, Peanut!

Peanut: I moved! Here! I live here now! Walking distance from your house!

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Tuesday night, I recovered Wisp’s spirits for him. He rewarded me with a down skirt.
  • Wednesday, Bones was sick with a cold. I gave him some medicine, and he gave me a soccer-uniform top.
  • I helped out Gullivarrr, and he sent me a pirate-treasure chest Thursday.
  • K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Aria” for me tonight.
  • I gave a sick Agent S some medicine, and she gave me a dynamic tank top.

Until we meet again, Never Stop Crossing!

Ankha: Ah yes, we meet again, I hate it.
