On Twitter, user Jackdaw posted several screenshots that finally confirmed that C.J. and Flick are roommates inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. While playing through theACNHHappy Home Paradise DLC,Jackdaw seems to be looking to build a vacation home for Flick. However, the character initially refused the offer, stating that they were already living with someone. When explained that he could bring his roommate along, Flick agrees to have the vacation home built. It is then confirmed that C.J. is Flick’s roommate in Jackdaw’s other screenshots, where Flick is shown saying that C.J. will love the vacation home, and later on spending time with the beaver himself inside the structure the player built for them.
With Jackdaw’s screenshots, it can be confirmed that Flick and C.J. are not only business partners, but roommates as well. However, this has already been confirmed by theofficialAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsguidethat was published after the game was launched in 2020.
