On Saturday, I grabbed five Nook Miles tickets and began my hunt for a new villager. I found Grizzly the bear on the first island. I had him in City Folk last year, and he’s alright…but not one of my favorites.
The 2nd island had Anchovy the bird, and the third island had Chevre the goat. I like Chevre, and Anchovy isn’t bad either… but if I’m using Nook Miles tickets, I want to get someone I really like a lot. I’d be okay with any of these three if I got them as a random move-in, but I want to at least try for one of my favorites.
But on my 4th island, I found what I was looking for. One of my favorites: Kid Cat! I immediately asked him to move to Forest. 🙂
You may remember that I had him as a camper last November. I actually wanted him to move in, but he would have replaced Static…and that was unacceptable. But I posted in the blog that maybe we’d meet again someday…and now we have! I’ve had him in City Folk and Wild World before, and I’m happy to have him on my ACNH island as well. 🙂
On Sunday, he arrived in town. Welcome to Forest, Kid Cat!
I recently gave my other superhero a new catchphrase of “Wii Fit,” as a reference to this. And Sunday, she asked if I was subbing in for her dodgeball instructor in Wii Fit. 😆
I went out to Lottie’s Island to work a shift at Paradise Planning. Chevre (the goat that I passed on the day before) wanted a vacation home where she could protect her assets. Her request was titled “World’s Safest Vault.” I picked a location where she was on an island, in a lake, on an island. Hopefully that will keep the burglars out. 😛
As for the yard, I didn’t do much to it. I added some money trees (so her money can grow) and a piggy bank.
Indoors, I put some safes, a pile of cash, all locked behind jail bars. That’s basically her vault, but there’s also a reception counter so her house can function as a bank.
When I got back to the office, Lottie paid me 20,000 Poki. That was enough to finish my donation to the hospital, and they can now expand. I have to return another day to finalize things, though.
On Monday, I got to see the inside of Kid Cat’s house now that he’s unpacked. He’s a jock, so it’s not surprising to see lots of workout equipment in here.
In honor of Kid Cat’s arrival, I put on a red zap suit.
I also placed an additional red zap helmet outside of Kid Cat’s house, to clearly mark which house is his. 😛
On Tuesday, I returned a lost item to Peanut and she rewarded me with her photo (again)! It’s only been about a month since she gave me the first one, so it’s surprising to get another one so soon.
On Thursday, I went up to Paradise Planning. Lottie informed me that the hospital can now put in a patient ward now that they’ve met their fundraising goal. Of course, that meant I had to design it. I put in three beds, some EKG machines, a few chairs, and some hospital screens to divide each patient’s area.
We took a celebratory photo, and then Lottie paid me 25,000 Poki for my time.
Today, Ken was camping out at the campsite for the 2nd time. He’s pretty cool (for a chicken), but I wasn’t interested in kicking anyone out for him.
I recently posted my latest video, New Horizons Moments #36. I hope you’ll check it out!
And here are a few other quick notes about the past week or so:
- Last Saturday, Merengue was sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine, and she rewarded me with an argyle sweater.
- K.K. Slider performed “Hypno K.K.” for me and Louie last week.
- I returned a lost item to Peanut, and she gave me a detective hat.
- On Tuesday, I sold 8 fish to C.J. for exactly 102,000 bells.
- Yesterday, June was sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine, and she thanked me by giving me a spinning wheel.
- Tonight, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Lullaby” for me, Bones, and Louie. 😴
