Chapter 2: Moving In
We arrived at the gate at the only entrance of Heaven Hill. Sure enough, the rain had subsided and the sun was blazing against the window as I stared out it. As we passed through the opening, I happened to glance at the gatekeepers and noticed something odd… very odd. They were dressed up like 2 dogs. When I saw them, it clicked in my mind that Kapp'n wasn't just a random green creature. No, in fact, he was a turtle.
"Excuse me sir," I said as I tapped on the glass window separating us.
"Why is everyone dressed like an animal?"
Kapp'n turned his head and looked at me strangely.
"Argh didn't ya know? Heaven Hill be a furry community."
Great. Just what I needed. Weirdos dressed as animals to get their kicks. Awesome.
Kapp'n drove around the small area very slowly. He had to in order to avoid the various trees that blocked the path. There didn't seem to be a road at all.
Finally, Kapp'n parked in front of the Town Hall where it seemed like my adventure in Heaven Hill was sure to begin.
I paid the fare, and walked into the Town Hall. Once again, I was face to face with another Furry. A female this time, whose name tag read "Pelly."
"Welcome, this is Heaven Hill's Town Hall."
No shit Sherlock I thought as she stated the obvious.
"What can I do for you today?" she asked.
Kill me is what I thought of saying, but in all actuality I managed to put my sarcasm aside long enough to tell her I had just came by cab.
"Oh, you must be Minerva. Welcome! I'm Pelly the clerk. Tom Nook already told me about you."
I had done forgotten about Tom Nook. Tom Nook was the shop owner of this town and also dealt with my real estate. He was the man I had to get in touch with who owned the house I was going to help rent with other roommates. I had wondered if he also was a furry.
"So, you'll be living with Richard and Louise, is that right? They sound lovely."
"I'm sure they do."
This time, the sarcasm couldn't be held back.
"We have many residents who live all around Heaven Hill. Here is a map. Let me show you where your house is."
She pulled out the map and showed me a small house across the river that I would be staying in. The area was just north of the beach. Some good news finally.
"Do you know how to take your map out?"
THAT IS THE ODDEST MOST RIDICULOUS THING I HAVE EVER BEEN ASKED. OF COURSE I KNOW HOW TO TAKE MY DAMN MAP OUT YOU STUPID WHORE.
"Yep."
"Okay then. Goodbye and please come again."
I smiled and nodded as I left the building. As I started making my way across the way to my house, I hoped that not everyone in this town was as weird and annoying as she was. Maybe, I was just being a bitch. Maybe, I should have tried being nicer to people and accepting my new life. But it was hard. After dealing with the ordeal of trying to live with my obnoxious father, I felt I deserved to be a bitch for a while. But I do admit, it didn't make anything any easier.
I made my way to the bridge that crossed the river and led to my house. I stopped for a second just to glance at the water. For such a shitty place, the water sure was pretty. I looked down and spotted a carp. I would have to go fishing sometime.
After crossing the bridge, I finally spotted my house. Whoever made the decision to paint the roof Hunter Green should be shot.
I got to the front door with my luggage, but before I could even get in the door, someone came around the corner and stopped me. It was a man dressed in a tanuki suit.
That was a day I'll never forget. That was the day that I met Tom Nook.
