Thursday, January 28, 2021: Merengue's Victory Tune

I loaded up the game this morning to check out the new update (ver. 1.7.0), and when I went to check my mail, the camera pan showed me where the gold was!

Merengue wanted to have a secret greeting for us. I clicked on the globe icon on the on-screen keyboard for the first time to see how I can write different characters, including a music eighth note and flat sign; so I had her sing a little song. I was thinking of Barret in the Final Fantasy VII Remake, when he sometimes hums the victory tune.

Label was in the plaza, asking for a work outfit. I saved going to change for the end of my short play session.

I found it odd how the Nooklings were still selling celebratory candles, which I thought were just for the holiday season. It's almost February! While I was looking for the new Reaction set for Festivale from the update, which I couldn't find, I did locate the new seasonal items that were added. I'm excited to try out throwing beans for Setsuban, a Japanese holiday that was celebrated in the Japanese version of New Leaf I remember watching in February 2013! There are also items for Groundhog Day and the Super Bowl.

Sable was talking about the cold weather when I went to speak to her, and Merengue was saying how she couldn't net any bugs. I didn't have the heart to tell her about the slow-moving common butterfly behind me.

The last thing I did was return to Label with a work outfit. She rewarded me with a Labelle coat.
