It's been a very long day. This morning was the morning of my leave from my hometown to Zoland! A few things happened while on the train there. I was relaxing on the train, a bit less nervous as I had a few bells on me. A very friendly cat named Rover came over to me and asked my name and where I was going and such. I was glad to have met such a kind person already. The speaker finally announced our arrival to Zoland, and I was off!
When I got off the train was when the overwhelming things started happening. I was greeted with a loud, "WELCOME MAYOR!" from a yellow dog, a duck, a frog, and a monkey at the train station. This confused me greatly. I wasn't a mayor! I was a new resident, and far to young to be a mayor of even a tiny town! I tried to explain that this was some kind of mistake, but the dog insisted their new mayor was coming off of this train at this time. I knew it had to have been a mistake...
The dog finally introduced herself as Isabelle and said that she was my secretary, although I dont have any knowledge on becoming a mayor. She led me to the town hall and explained things about the town and what I could do here as the mayor. I decided to go along with it, they seem to like me, and they'll figure out I'm not fit to be a mayor soon enough.
One of my first duties as mayor was to introduce myself to the villagers that lived in my town. The very first person I met was the duck by the train station named Pompom. She was very cute, and had a fun, peppy attitude! That second person I met, again another person waiting for me at the train station, was a frog named Croque. He seemed to have a grumpy personality about him, but that's what I liked the most! The last person waiting at the train station was a monkey named Flip. He seemed very athletic, you could tell he loved fitness just by the way he introduced himself. The last villagers weren't by the train station, so it gave me a chance to explore around Zoland. There was an adorable dog named Bones, he's lazy, just like me. Lastly, another duck lived here. Her name is Maelle. She was a bit snooty at first, but I talked to her lots today! I really like my neighbors, and I'm hoping they like me back, as their (maybe?) new mayor.
I returned back to town hall, and and I hadn't even realized I couldn't be mayor if I didn't have a house until Isabelle mentioned it! She sent me over to Main Street, where all of the shops are located. I was supposed to go and talk with Tom Nook, the real estate agent, at his shop. When he got there, I told him right away that I was the mayor and that I didn't have a house. Surprisingly, he said I could place my home wherever I wanted. And I chose the perfect spot. Its right on the cliff hanging over the ocean, and it has a wonderful view! However, there is just a little catch...
IT'S A TENT!
I can't have a real house until I pay off a loan of 10,000 bells... Which I will hopefully be able to pay off tomorrow, so I can do some stuff around town, like visit the shops. as I went into my tent, Isabelle payed a visit and gave me a lamp for my tent. I placed it ten my tent, and that is where I am now.
Im so excited for tomorrow!
Finally in Zoland, Zoe
