Thursday, January 14, 2021: Phil's Weird

Label was at the plaza today, and she asked me to dress up in a vacation outfit. She was saying about a summer resort, but it felt weird to wear a summer outfit out of season, so I went for a winter vacation outfit. Something I might wear on a tropical island in wintertime... oh wait, that's Iyerland!

I kept the outfit on as I went about my day today, to feel a bit more like I was on vacation I guess. I saw the Nookling's had an anatomical model for sale - one of the more interesting items from the series' history for sure!

Velma the goat was visiting on my island. I played a card game for one of her items and lost, but I have no intention of having her join the island.

I went over to speak with Phil when I saw him, and he asked if I'd taken a shower today... Huh? Where'd that come from?! And besides, check out this letter he sent me too! I never cared for his strange eyes, either... So I suppose that's that! Next campsite visitor I get I like, or whenever he asks to move in the future, he's outta here! Like JVGS Jeff's list of mortal enemies... Tabby, Yuka, Jambette... Phil's made mine! :)

So I went to hang out with Fauna instead to cheer me up. She's nice! But like I said yesterday, she might be allowed to leave since she's on Marissa's island... Man, this is the first Animal Crossing game I've really cared about what villagers I have, I think! We also essentially have 100% control over who comes and who leaves, especially with amiibo cards...

Oh yeah - I also saw Phil hanging out in my dad's yard! Just more evidence that he has zero boundaries. :P

Anywho! All of that drama out of the way... This was all at 8 in the morning, too! I saw a snowball in its usual spot between the Able Sisters and the zen garden. It took me a while to find the other one, but when I did I decided to make a snowboy, and it ended up perfect! I haven't really been bothering to catch any snowflakes or anything; it was just to chill a bit after the Phil incident. Some vacation! And I got a lawn mower from a balloon present as well - another out-of-season item!

At 9am, before I wrapped up my day, I did head into the Able Sister's and bought a couple things. Sable also told me some familiar dialogue about her Thursday evening TV show. She used to always discuss "Pointed in Love: Season 4" I believe it was in Wild World or City Folk. I see they've kept the theme of "pointed" here!

Shoot, I looked up Velma on the Animal Crossing Wiki, and they said her house in New Horizons has a scholarly theme with a piano and violin and library wall! (Referencing her past personality from the original game, where she had a lot of paintings.) Here's a picture of her house from the Wiki. I tried once, but she would have asked Cookie to leave, so no dice! Sorry Velma!

I suppose you can get ready for more villager drama this year, then!
