After getting their tools(Claire's weapon- er- tool of choice was the hammer), Claire, Jack, Jill, Jay, and Julie went outside only to be lectured by the fat moustache guy from yesterday.

"... Any questions?" Thomas asked. Four out of the five new farmers were snoring(Julie was awake because she was up watching television all night watching people pounding rice cakes). After the very annoying mustachioed mayor left, they met Takakura and Zack- the shippers. Zack looked like he just got out of boot camp and Takakura... erm... was that sweat he had on that towel over his neck? Never saw him wash that... ew...

As soon as those guys left, they got straight to business.
"Alright, so I get the bed." Claire stated as if everyone agreed on that.
"HEY!!!"

".. alright, so who wants to take care of the animals- er- animal- er- Dribble(the puppy)?" she asked. Julie was was waving her hand as quickly as she can but since she isn't the brightest person, Jill got the job. "Okay, so the weeding and chopping goes to... what? Noone? Okay, so I get the weeding. Now who will plant stuf? Okay, Jay can handle that, I guess. Jack- you'll go look for random stuff we can ship for money! Why? Because I said so. That means that the person who'll manage our money is..." At that moment, Claire realized that Julie was the only option left. "... On second thought, Julie can look for random stuff and Jack will manage our money. That means you get to go shopping! Lucky."

Blah blah blah. Anyway, the important thing now is meeting the villagers of Mineral Bud Valley(original name, isn't it?)! Takakura(the guy with the sweaty towel) and Thomas(the mayor) gave the five a tour of Mineral Bud Valley.

First up was Tim, Ruby, and Rock. They ran the inn except for Nami who was being a guest and Rock who only lived there because his parents(Tim and Ruby) own the place. Wow. Tim and Ruby were midgets!

Then there was Galen and Nina. Saibara and his grandson Gray happened to be visiting at the time. Galen was a creepy old dude and Nina was the exact opposite. Wonder how they got married...
Saibara was the town blacksmith. Really grumpy. Hates his grandson. Hates the new farmers. Gray is depressed and his grandpa's assistant. He stinks at making hammers, according to Celia(who I'll talk about later).

After that, they met up with the owners of what Claire thought was KFC. It turned out to be a chicken farm. There was Popuri(pink hair and talkes fast just like Julie), Rick(overprotective brother with dorky glasses), and Lillia(eh, no insults. Just has more freakish pink hair that can't be natural). Needless to say, Julie and Popuri made friends very quickly.

Next up- the farm! No, not the one they already owned. It was Vesta (fat lady who sure can grow crops and wants Jack to marry Celia) and Barley's(old guy who can't tell the difference between chicken feed and fodder) unnamed farm- home of cows, sheep, and a whole lot of seeds. There are people too, of course. Celia- a simple, down to earth person working for Vesta, and May- 12 year old girl who was abandoned by her mother. Surprisingly optimistic.

"...There's the houses. Bunch of average, ordinary people. Boooooriiiiing. There's a supermarket too but that's only good for groceries and meeting a girl named Karen." Takakura explained. "There's also a ranch. Not a farm. Ranch. There's a difference. Then there's another inn and a cafe. If you get tired and decide to drown your sorrows in wine, there's a winery right next to the church. There's a girl there named Muffy and another named Eve."
"A girl named Muffy works at the church?"
"No. I mean the winery. There's also a bunch of other places I'll let you explore."
"Wait-" Claire interrupted. "So there are two inns, two farms, a ranch, church, winery, a chicken place, a blacksmith, and a whole bunch of houses? And we're supposed to keep track of all that?!"
"That or you could live in your house and never go outside." Takakura said. "Oh yeah and one more thing- you kind of have another neighbor. But that can wait. So... bye."

After Takakura walked away (it took 20 minutes. He's a slow walker), Julie asked, "Were those elves just now?"
