On Sunday, I found Marina over at the campsite!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Marina:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It took me about two seconds to decide that I wanted to invite her into town. But she seemed more interested in playing games that involved one of us buying items from the other. I played a few of the games, but turned down even more requests. I did lose a steamroller in the process, though. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Marina,<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But eventually (after probably 15 tries or so), she offered to play a game to see if she would move in! Fortunately, the game was charades, and those are pretty easy. So Marina agreed to move in!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Marina:
If you’re flattered<\/em>, it’s probably from the steamroller. \ud83d\ude1b<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The next day, Mira told me that she accidentally ate a rotten apple! Oops!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Mira:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

She said she has lost confidence in her senses, so she asked me to pick a fresh apple for her. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Mira:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"Mira:
Sure, I’ll find an appealing one for you!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

So I went out and picked an apple for her. Mira loved it, and she rewarded me with a ranch tea table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, it was raining in town. Boots used both his greeting and his catchphrase in one random-sounding, chaotic speech bubble. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Boots:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hornsby asked me to return something to Jeremiah, and I agreed to help out. But Jeremiah wanted to play a game with it, asking me what I thought it was. I guessed (or hoped) that it was furniture…and I was wrong. (So I got no reward for making the delivery.)<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Jeremiah:
You don’t have to yell, man.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While Marina’s plot showed up yesterday, there was already another camper in town. It was Flurry the hamster, and she’s cute.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Flurry,<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I found a lost item on the ground, and I returned it to its owner, Molly. It was her book, and it apparently had a lot of sentimental value to her.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Molly:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

She rewarded me with another copy of her photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Marina has officially moved in. Her house is just south of the campsite, very close to Rolf’s house.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Rolf's<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I don’t mind the location except for one thing: The house took out six gold roses when it “landed.” Oof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went inside to greet Marina now that she’s an official resident here. Welcome to Forest, Marina!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Marina:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

She joins Inkwell to make octopus the most-common species in Forest at the moment. (My other eight villagers are all different species.) And Marina joins Molly and Mira as I now have three “M” villagers in town. Marina is also my first new villager since 2023<\/a>, when Mira moved in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But surprisingly, there was yet another camper at the campsite today! That’s three campers in four days! Today’s camper is Coach, who I never would’ve invited to town. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Coach:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hornsby told me he’d like to try a piece of perfect fruit, so I gave him a perfect peach. He loved it, even though he used his catchphrase rather redundantly.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Hornsby:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He rewarded me with what he called a “fantastic” gift: A common bed.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Hornsby:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
