The Town of Farshore

K.K. Jongara (by Saffronic)

Back from an early evening at Club LOL. K.K. Slider was there, and he was playing an acoustic set, which was very nice (and Monique seemed to be...too excited...)

thre were drnks. shrunks personla stache. yum.

this is hard. typing. here's a pic wth dj kk

haha wooooooooooooooôöoôoòoóœøoooooooooo

The living room, complete with soda machine, flat screen television, and phone box!

Curlos gave me his old tennis table, which was very nice of him. Picked up the bed and closet at the little Nook's store (now upgraded from that little shack to a fancy T&T Mart. Good job on those little guys)

My jam room. I don't get much time with my music as mayor, but I like to make a habit of keeping the old songs alive. Still have yet to find any new records to play along to, though.

The basement, full of those fortune cookie prizes. They are very bright and colorful, so I thought I'd have them on display for a bit, though the music coming form that star can be...repetitive. 

Meet Dot! She's a new resident here. She came from up North, so Farshore is the biggest city she has lived in so far. She studied Urban planning, however, at university, meaning she was perfect to build the road system that now criss-crosses the town. 

She's very bright, and enthusiastic about her work. I do worry sometimes that she doesn't really go for a life outside of her roads, though. She stays in her house most of the time, and a few villagers didn't even realize she moved in until they asked me about the roads. 

She'll come out of her shell eventually. I've had friends like her in the City, so hopefully she'll open up like them.

This evening in Farshore. Now that the Night Owl ordinance is in effect, I can get a lot more done!

Took a few trips to the Island, I happened to catch a boat right at sunset, very pretty.

On my way back from that trip an old dude was wandering my town. I questioned him a bit and he gave me a badge? Kind of creepy that he's watching me, but it's shiny, so I'll take it.

Kapp'n has the weirdest songs, I'll try to save more of them. Sometimes though, they really hit home.

Bluebear...that's not a good choice of words.

The new gardening store popped up! (I'm gonna get that bird!)

Did some rearranging of my house...Super Sentai is on TV!

Looks like I've got a new Nickname

The fountain's completed! mostly funded by me, but eh...

Kind of a dreary day today. Even the island was overcast. I wanted to just stay inside and rearrange my room all day, but those bells aren't going to earn themselves.

Despite the rain, a traveling art dealer came by and had a few pieces of art for sale. It made me sort of nervous that he was such a fast-talking kind of salesman, but I eventually caved and bought a "great statue." It should be delivered tomorrow, at which point Blather's'll tell me if I just wasted a few thousand bells on something less than authentic.

I slushed around in the mud most of the day as I talked to all of the other villagers. Frobert had a shirt Monique left at his place, and I helped return it. There's probably something more going on between those two than it appears, but it's not my job as mayor to snoop.

I also talked with the new resident, Deirdre. She seems nice, if a bit dismissive. The kind of person that'll give you advice even if you don't ask for it, you know? Still, she did give me a new shirt, so she can't be all bad.

Speaking of new residents, Tom ran into me earlier as I was making a payment on my house expansion load and told me that ANOTHER person was moving in! Apparently he is named Vesta. It's nice to have a growing town, but I haven't been here a week yet and the responsibility is piling up!

P.S. beetles really freak me out. They just blend in to the bark so well and then BUZZZZZ they pop out! My heart jumps every time. Not as bad as when I found the oak silk moth. SO HUGE! It twitched in a way that made my spine crawl. I swallowed my fear, for the good of the town, and donated it to the museum. Blathers had an all-too-hungry look in his eyes, but I'm sure he made sure my catches made it to the exhibit safely.

The Island was fantastic! Lots of fun and games and crazy weird bugs and animals. And the guy who floated me out there, Kapp'n iiiiiisss....a character.

But the highlight of my day was getting out of town. Particularly because the train ride didn't seem to take too long, but all of a sudden I was in tomorrow!

For some reason, the town of Columbo was about 11 hours ahead of Farshore. I chatted with the mayor, Molly, a bit and she said she did something called time travelling. I wonder if I can do that, it might be hidden in the Public Works Projects folder at my desk. I should check that tomorrow. Today. Augh!

We hung out a bit and I saw her catch a clownfish, and I helped with a problem one of her residents was having (cherry shortage), but my internal clock was calling me home and I had to go to bed (at 9AM...). 

More weirdness occurred when I returned to Farshore, and it's still tonight. Is this some weird kind of jet lag?

I did get apples out of the whole thing though, so that's sweet. Apples are strangely comforting to me, I don't know why. I think if I had a native fruit in the City, it would be apples.

Molly, if you read this, thank you very much for letting me visit! I helped out on your bridge project, and I hope it turns out to be something great!

Quick note from the Island:

Craaazy stuff here! I think I saw a shark? Yikes.

So, it's been a super busy weekend! Starting new town ordinances, public works projects (if you're ever in town, throw a few bells toward the fountain in construction right in front of the train station)! Whew! And I also met many other mayors, and hope to meet many more! I'll eventually get to all of your towns!

Alright, time to take off my official mayoral duties for the night. I may see if there are any other towns to visit tonight, and start growing and building relations with nearby cities. I apparently need the "friend-code" of a mayor to travel to their city. So I've opened up the "Ask" section of this blog so mayors wandering by here can submit and we can build an alliance, if they'd like. If any would like my friend code, it is 1005-8872-7849.

My last act today as mayor involve updating the town flag and the town tune, an anthem of sorts. I don't know how I can post the song, but here's a small picture Isabelle took of me with the newly designed flag, symbolizing the towns imminent ascent to greatness on the mountain of kindness. Or something like that.

Monique, a cat living near the town hall, caught me as I was returning to my desk, yelling about "I've got it!" and "You've wanted this right?!" I was just so flustered with her sudden appearance that I didn't really have time to look over what she gave me.
