Settling in
What a sunny morning. We had a fun party, and Kid Cat actually bought me a new phone because I fell and broke the screen. That's sweet of him. The new phone has a map that tells me where I am and updates automatically, plus an item finder app, which tells me the shrunken item's identity that I am holding in the shrinker-cube, and all this is in my empty looking pockets. What a fantastic friend he is. So I entered the local shop to find a house. The moment I entered I saw an evil looking raccoon staring with sinister eyes. Ignoring him, I went and approached the human girl standing by the flower section, holding a notebook and typing down some stuff.
"Um, hi." I began shyly.
She looked at me with a smile. Her hair was cute: light brown that shines in the sunlight that comes from the cracking walls of this dump.
"Yes? Are you a tourist?"
"No, I'm new here! I'm Hanna."
"Welcome, I'm Bethany. Where do you live in town?"
"I'm looking for a house. Where can I find one?"
"There's only one person selling almost everything in tow, and that's Tom Nook. That raccoon over there. There's no proper real estate so you have to ask him yourself."
Wishing I was deaf, I asked that thing: "How much are your houses?"
"Oh, hm? House! Well, ehehehe, I have only, one type of house for sale, costing a mere 19,800 bells!"
I just stared. This person's totally insane. The laugh, the price, who does he think I am, anyway? So I bought it without paying, then I will have to pay a "mortgage" at the town hall whenever I feel like it, well, whatever it is, it looks like a sort of loan. So I chose my house (or my house's roof colour) took my key, refused a job offer, and stepped inside to chat on the phone. Instead a person answered called rover. Well it's his recorded voice actually, and he led me to Kiki's number without daiing 8 digits, just a villager number in the map and 02234 for internal calls. So I was chatting with Kiki, mainly about Kid Cat in school. Great, there's school. A person called Mathilda came in to drop by a housewarming gift! That's very nice since I didn't tell her, nor did I have any chairs to host her properly, but seeing that she was panting with rosy cheeks visible on her black fur, I took the bed downstairs for something a little comfy. Her gift was a Lovely wardrobe, cute and handy. She then left, and then Mitzi called on the phone to go shopping. Yay! But I was already broke, but Mitzi was insisting to buy for me. Can you imagine that there is only one mall in Cocomall? But it is very wide and famous, since it is a stage in Mario Kart Wii.
"You know, you might consider taking a job. There's no harm and it's normal in town to do this. When I first moved here with my parents, I had a part-time job in the summer until Kiki moved in." I blinked, about to burst out laughing.
