It was raining in Forest today, but that didn’t stop Agent S from wanting to play some hide and seek. She gave me 15 minutes to find her, Gala, and Nan.

All three of them were hiding behind houses, and I found them all within five minutes.

My prize was a bit disappointing, however: She gave me an upright vacuum. That sucks.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Tanya from Starland was my most recent dream visitor. I made a quick dream visit to Mark’s town Topiary to check something about his house. I also said hello to Mira while I was there.

When I woke up from the dream, I decided it was time to install the Reset Center. That’s right, Resetti’s coming to town! I tried to hide it in the northwest corner of town, near my instrument shelter.

I paid off the 368,000 bells and returned to town hall. Isabelle confirmed that it will be completed tomorrow.

This morning, as I began my search for Joan, I was pinged by Tia. She told me she wants to move out on May 23rd.

Life around Forest has felt a bit stale lately, with no new villagers–especially when I already have everyone’s villager pic already. So I decided to let her go. I’m planning on giving to her to my friend Patty.

Tia’s moving on Friday, but I want to get her adopted before I open my gate for Friday Night Forest. So if anyone’s interested in being a backup to get Tia (in case I’m unable to give her to Patty for any reason), please contact me somewhere such as Youtube, Tumblr, or Facebook.

A few minutes after speaking with Tia, I ran into Joan. She was selling turnips for 103 bells each today. I bought 1,200 of them.

I went in the Emporium to take a look at the throne in my catalog. The Nooklings’ normal selling price is 800,000 bells. So it’s not quite a million bells, but it’s still a very expensive item to be receiving from a villager.

After taking a break from the game, I picked it back up later in the day. At the Dream Suite, I saw that Ash from Hazakura was my most recent dream visitor. Hey, I know her! That’s the Ash on my friend roster, the one who kicks everyone’s butt at Mario Kart! 😀 So that was a nice surprise.

I went into the Happy Homes Showcase to check out a StreetPass I got yesterday, and it was Ian again. I always get good gifts from him, since I’ve passed him so many times. This time, he gave me a heart i. balloon (the “i” stands for indigo).

I gave away my previous gift from Ian, my matcha soft-serve ice cream cone, to Bacon from Mordor.

When I returned, I visited Agent S, and she asked me to bring Tia to her. Maybe she wants to adopt Tia!

So I tracked down the teapot elephant and brought her back. Agent S said she found something floating in the river that reminded her of Tia.

It turns out Tia had dropped the item in the river. Unfortunately, they never revealed what the item was.

After that, I finished my day with a trip out to the island and back.

The fishing tournament was held today, and Molly was telling me she’ll probably be eating fish sandwiches all week.

When I made my way over to Chip at the plaza, I heard the bad news. This tournament isn’t about catching the biggest fish you can; it’s about catching black bass. So the sea bass and shark I caught last night won’t do me any good.

Kidd had the lead with a 21.45 inch black bass, and it took me about 15 minutes of fishing to beat it. Once I did, Chip gave me a puffer-fish TV as a reward.

A few minutes later, I topped that fish with a 22.4 inch fish. This time, Chip gave me a flounder table. The competition was only 15 minutes from ending, so I stopped my search at that point. Later on, I returned to the game for the winners ceremony. My fish remained in the top spot, and I won the tournament!

Kidd remained in second place and Molly got third. There was only about an inch difference between all of our fish, so it was a very close competition.

I took my fish furniture up to my museum exhibit to take a look at it. Here are the flounder table and puffer-fish TV:

In the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Hendrix from Okinawa was my most recent dream visitor.

I went down to the beach and stopped to take a picture of a balloon present flying by.

I went out to the island (by myself) and decided to go on an official scavenger hunt tour. I had six minutes to find the three items on my list. I found them all in exactly two minutes and I won 13 medals and a gold Tortimer award.

When I returned home, I took a look at two of T. Zelda’s recent designs: A SmashBall (from Super Smash Bros.) and a Rosalina tile. If you’d like these designs (or others), they are available on the QR Codes page.
