Octavian’s Surprising Departure

Isabelle caught me by surprise when I started up the game today, telling me that Octavian was moving out of town! He never even told me he was considering a move! If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time in New Leaf that I’ve been caught off-guard by a villager moving out without warning. At any rate, I went to say goodbye to my octo-friend.

Octavian: Ah! Jeff! I know this might sound sudden to you, but I'm gonna be moving tomorrow.On the bright side, I’ll have a spot available for asking a camper to move in if I choose (as of tomorrow). There was a tent at the campsite today though, and the camper was Cally the squirrel. I would not have been interested in her anyway.

Cally: Don't worry. I finally figured out the right way to drive tent stakes into the ground.Over by the bulletin board, Rolf gave me a grass tee for free.

Rolf: Ta-da-aa-hh! You're the lucky winner of my grass tee! Congrats!I went up to Main Street, and Luna told me Beth from Appleby was my most recent dream visitor. (Hi Beth!) In the Happy Homes Showcase, I checked out Nathan’s house. He had a (small) room full of robo furniture customized in black. It looked cool, but also a bit creepy. It’s like all of these robots are watching me!

A few seconds later, Crosby came over too. I gave her an extra bubble wand I had lying around, and she gave me a famous mushroom. Thank you, Crosby!

Crosby, Jeff, and Tom.She spoke with Octavian and asked him to move into her town.

Crosby speaks with Octavian.Octavian confirmed that he’s moving to Crosby’s town, Town.

Octavian: I'm moving myself to Town!And later on tonight, Octavian’s house was all closed up and he was gone. Goodbye, octo-buddy. I hope he and Crosby have a fun time together. 🙂
