It's snowing outside today, possibly the last snowfall of this winter for Fireleaf. Spring is projected to arrive soon, but for now the weather is frigid as always. I use this time to fill out some paperwork in the Town Hall.

After that work is finished, I spend a bit of time in the Town Hall looking at all the little trinkets. It's a very old building, so I find it is a great place to learn the history of Fireleaf.

Of course, I can't just spend all day inside the Town Hall. After all, winter is almost over so I should go outside to enjoy these last few days before the snow melts.

Robin and I had a lovely conversation about other villagers in this town. It happened to remind me about Wart Jr. prompting me to pay him a visit.

I didn't know Wart Jr. was such a prolific gardener. Even in the winter he still manages to make his hobby work. His house is surprisingly nice. Other than his walls I think he has great taste in design.

We enjoyed some lovely oolong tea, something Wart Jr. is definitely not allergic to. I spent a while admiring his collection of bonsai, each one he had taken immense care in shaping. When I was about to leave, he remembered about a package he needed delivered. Funnily enough, it was to Robin, who was the catalyst to my visit to Wart's house in the first place.

Wart Jr. can be quite sophisticated when he wants to. I'm glad I was able to help them out with this problem.

While aimlessly walking around, I found someone's lost book! I don't recognize the title, but it looks very important. I hope I'm able to find the rightful owner soon.

Being familiar with Moose, I figure he ended up losing a bet with Kid Cat. They're always at it with bizarre competitions.

I decide to pay Canberra a visit. After all, she lost that previous item so she seems like the logical first choice here. I must have been a bit too quiet because she was fairly startled by my sudden appearance.

WQHyNzb.jpg


Unfortunately she had no idea who that book belongs to. I'll have to keep looking for the owner tomorrow.
 
I forgot how nice Wart, Jr's house looked before I filled it with crap! I'll have to start sending him exotic furniture and bonsai.

Also, how did you get that top pic without Isabelle in it?

When Isabelle requests the Dream Suite she will be asleep and the player must wake her up. During this time you can sit in your mayor's chair without having her walk up to you.

He's right above you, Robin!

Oh, I guess that makes some sense.

It was a long trek, but I managed to get to Moose without too much trouble...

I tell him it looks okay. It's not horrible but it wouldn't be my first choice if I was him.

After he takes it off, a quick look reveals what the problem is.

x7lMpSz.jpg


That's unfortunate. He seemed so excited about obtaining it.

Robin isn't too surprised by this discovery.

LnBIze5.jpg





After that incident, I found Kid Cat wandering around Bertha's house.

I thank Kid Cat for letting me know about this. Redd is always a welcome sight in Fireleaf. He may be a tad suspicious, but that's a fair price to pay for genuine art.

I immediately run over to Redd's tent. I wouldn't want to lose out on a great deal!

NYKIP1T.jpg


Are you kidding me? I'm 34 bells short? Fine, I'll be right back.

wA3kE5V.jpg


These oranges will be more than enough to pay for it. I hope Canberra doesn't mind me "borrowing" from her garden.

GTaS7dM.jpg


Blathers will be looking forward to when this arrives in the mail.




I have finally discovered who that lost book belongs to!

I think it looks very nice on me. I'll definitely wear this shirt for a while.




I decide to take a visit to T&T Mart. Kid Cat has sure been getting around today.

O1u93YT.jpg


I've seen Kid Cat's fridge. He has enough junk food to feed the rest of Fireleaf for 20 years! I guess he ran out of it again.
 
I love all your posts updating us on your town! It's so nice to see you interact with your villagers and show us what you get up to :) I can't wait for the future, when your town is more developed and we can see the differences between then and now!
 
This is such a fun thread idea! Your town is beautiful and I’m really enjoying seeing these updates c:
 
Kid Cat is Leaving (Maybe)!

Ever since the new year, this winter has been incredibly cold. So much that it's really starting to wear on the residents of Fireleaf. Last night was particularly frigid.

lPRtEnZ.jpg


I think you should get inside, Robin. Weather like this is not safe to be out in.

I was headed toward Gruff's house, so I wouldn't be outside for long. Hopefully Robin got home safely.




Upon visiting Gruff's house, he informs me of a rumor that has been going around lately.

MzUQ9I5.jpg


fPlcyRU.jpg


Interesting. Kid Cat has been complaining about the constant cold lately, but I didn't think it would be enough for him to want to move.

Ek5eKbB.jpg


I went to talk to Kid Cat, but unfortunately he was asleep. I guess this matter can wait until later...




Alright, let's see if Kid Cat is serious about this whole thing...

xA4mOEj.jpg


2YdypxD.jpg


ekOv6Mq.jpg


I wish him well in this endeavor. It's been great being friends, but now it's time to move on.

9lSbADT.jpg


klr574L.jpg


Don't worry, Moose and I will be sure to continue our training.




Is this the end of Kid Cat's story? Definitely not. I have been considering this idea for a while, and I think that now is finally time to do it. Kid Cat is a very adventurous villager, and it would be his dream to travel the world. You can help him achieve this! If you are willing to and have an empty villager slot in your own town, I ask you to let Kid Cat into your town. Take pictures of him doing interesting things such as talking to other villagers or saying something funny. Feel free to change his catchphrase! Change his clothing! Give him furniture to help him remember your town! Then, once he is able to move back into Fireleaf, I will finally move him into a better spot.

Kid Cat will not be in your town permanently. I want him back in Fireleaf eventually. I just think this will be a fun way to involve other people in this thread.

If you agree to have Kid Cat move into your town, please take pictures of him doing various activities. I want to post your pictures of him on this thread as a sort of travel blog.

When you grow tired of having Kid Cat in your town, you should be willing to let someone else into your town to move him into theirs. If this goes well, we could have a relay where Kid Cat gets to visit many different towns.

If you are interested in having Kid Cat live in your town, please VM or PM me about it. I would like multiple people if at all possible, so don't worry if he is already going to someone else. You will have your turn eventually. He will be leaving on the 27th, which is 6 days from now. Make sure you are available then!
 
I don't have space in my town but that is actually a really cute idea and I hope you can find people to hold him for a little while & keep you updated on his antics C:
 
Spring Has Arrived!

I notice Kid Cat is home and decide to pay him a visit. I better make these last few days with him count.

fKmHa48.jpg


Looks like Egbert had the same idea. Upon talking to him, he gives me an Argyle Knit Shirt! My signature look which I have worn since the Gamecube version!

zxrS8Ol.jpg


Z9gTaPW.jpg


I might as well talk to Kid Cat as well. After all, he is the one I came to see.

TPt0BC0.jpg


I'm sure he's enjoying the attention that comes from moving. By now the entire town must have heard about it.

2xlR3HY.jpg


Um?

CmSkGea.jpg


wa8zbDF.jpg


I'll leave them to that conversation...




iwHMEpd.jpg


The snow is melting at an alarming rate. I decide to watch it for a while before going to bed.

Mz6L0LC.jpg


I wake up to find that a green explosion has engulfed Fireleaf! Spring is finally here!

dV7RtwJ.jpg


The town looks so beautiful right now. There's something nice about a new town that isn't very developed. I plan on developing Fireleaf eventually, but I will enjoy these pristine fields in the meantime.




Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anyone who would take Kid Cat. I had a feeling that idea may have been a bit too grandiose. I better talk to him before it's too late.

dvaGNOW.jpg


I tell him to stay in Fireleaf. I wouldn't want him to move without knowing where to go. I dread to think what would happen to him... Also, now with winter gone, maybe he will be more open to staying for a while.

qe9hW75.jpg


I'm glad Kid Cat realized that he shouldn't make such rash decisions. Now we can enjoy this year's spring together!

Just to clarify, I'm still interested in seeing if anyone would let Kid Cat into their town temporarily. I still plan on moving him out to get his house in a better location, so feel free to contact me if you're still interested.




After that conversation, I aimlessly wander around the town for a while.

Paying respects at Snowboy's Fountain. Though Snowboy was never able to experience other seasons, at the very least his fountain will experience them in his place.

The Town Tree looks happy today. Its leaves have perked up for the first time!

Kid Cat reminisces about his past towns.

Interestingly, I have no idea who this person is. Since Kid Cat was from another town, he had to have spoken to that person while living there. I wonder what the town of Dough is like anyway.

I don't know who planted these tulips, but they have really been flourishing lately.




That night, Bertha and I had a touching conversation.

March 12 and 13, 2019: Lychees and Truffles

March 12, 2019:

PeZBQIO.jpg


For the first time in quite a while, I have ventured out of Fireleaf. Treetop is a cute name for a town.

While it's nice to get out and see other towns, I have but one objective here.

zdGSznX.jpg


qJe0SmN.jpg


For some reason there were a lot of villagers moving out of people's towns yesterday. One of these villagers happened to be Truffles. When I saw the thread, I was pretty sure no one else was going to take her. After all, she isn't too popular. I have decided to take her under my wing, making it clear she is welcome into Fireleaf.

N0v1DJK.jpg


I inform her I am in fact not a mover. Even if I wanted to move your boxes, I doubt I would be strong enough to actually do it.

DfbpXlU.jpg


No problem. Moving can definitely be a confusing time for anyone.

7HeaZft.jpg


97xum9s.jpg


I tell her that my town is a pretty cool place.

GqML3nO.jpg


Fireleaf. Contrary to popular belief, it is not actually on fire... yet.

DlNEPQi.jpg


uA4jVCF.jpg


I'm sure you will be a great addition to the town.

lEivFsP.jpg


Alright, I'll leave you to find that.

After leaving Truffles's house, I promptly board the next train home.




Back in Fireleaf, I pay a visit to Robin. We end up having some tea together.

KrGxVDT.jpg


After finishing the tea, Robin gives me a lychee as a gift! She probably intended me to eat it, but I have other plans for this fruit...

NFoKXxH.jpg


qHG3Mv2.jpg


If this sapling grows, then by summer we will have fields of lychee trees all throughout the town.




March 13, 2019:

9Yy4d1m.jpg


Truffles has paid her first visit to Fireleaf today, picking out a plot right below Re-Tail. I'm actually fine with this location, since I don't think the Re-Tail building will end up fitting with my town once I start to develop it.

NWzYTxc.jpg


Also, the lychee tree is successfully growing! I'm always a little anxious about planting the first fruit of a particular type, since you only have one chance to get it right.
 
March 14, 2019

This morning Robin and I met to discuss important town matters. Though we certainly have a lot to improve on at the moment, there is one thing of particular alarm. Our only bridge is older than the town itself, and lately it has begun to show its age. Tortimer tells me the thing was there even in his day. It was fine back when there were so few residents, but with the recent boom in population it is simply impractical to keep such an archaic structure.

0hG4Hml.jpg


ip4j1ZC.jpg


cqq6VU1.jpg


Robin makes a convincing point. Even when I first arrived, I recognized a need to improve Fireleaf's infrastructure, but had always considered it low priority. I began to think about it more after Gruff talked about building a brick bridge, but it wasn't until talking to Robin that I decided to do something. After our conversation, I now consider it to be of the utmost importance. Of course, such a large-scale project will not happen overnight. Tomorrow I will meet with Isabelle to discuss further plans.

Found Chrissy during my trip to the convenience store.

My goal is to have pictures of every personality type at the different Nookling stores. I can't seem to find much of their dialogue online, so I guess it falls on me to capture it myself.




lj0cBIQ.jpg


Truffles has moved her house in today! I think it looks good in front of Re-Tail.

Aw, thanks.

Ugh, I understand how tiring moving can be. Regrettably I am unable to help right now, but I will live your pain vicariously.

Redd is in town again! Naturally I jump at the opportunity to purchase some more artwork.

cO8Sq4Q.jpg


Wow... Is this actually real? I expected to have to wait years for a genuine Motherly Statue, but here is one right in front of me!

Blathers will be real happy tomorrow...

I'm not even going to comment on this photo. I think it's more entertaining to imagine your own context as to what is going on here.




It seems that the arrival of spring is breathing new life into this town. I anticipate tomorrow is going to be very busy for Fireleaf. I hope to see you then!
 
I noticed the change of shirts...

But no argyle knit shirt?!

I tend to change my outfit fairly often. I do own an argyle knit shirt (thanks, Egbert) but I wanted to include a little more variety each day. I'm sure I'll wear it soon.
 
aww i love this thread! really good job working on it~
seeing this makes me wish we had a diary board for this kinda threads esp. when the switch game comes out :D
 
This thread is adorable, and I’m happy to see my town mentioned in here! :3
 
March 15: Building Bridges

I wake up unusually early this morning. After a quick trip out of town to order some breakfast (I had a giant apple pancake in case you're interested), I rush over to the Town Hall.

Isabelle had already completed a lot of paperwork. Despite this, there was a still a veritable mountain of things to be done. I expected this from such a large-scale project, but it's still very tedious.

Part of the reason for such a heavy workload is that we strive to complete this project in record time. The Robin Bridge Initiative, as it is now being called, has since expanded from a single bridge to a complete renovation of Fireleaf's infrastructure. It was quickly apparent that a new bridge, located close by, would have to be constructed before we would be able to demolish our current one. In addition, Gruff once again brought up his plans to make transport easier to and from the eastern beach. It was eventually decided that three bridges were to be constructed. Such a project has never been attempted before by Fireleaf, so this will not only test our construction capabilities, but also my very position as Mayor.

Ls2hUuc.jpg


nixzOwl.jpg


In only a single day, we are already about to begin construction on our first bridge. Let's hope we are able to keep up this breakneck pace.

This project is also having the effect of increased support by my fellow villagers. It seems that for the first time in quite a while, all of Fireleaf is united on a single issue.

After a lot of searching we finally found our first spot.

And there we go! It will take a while to collect funds, but the end result will be well worth it.




Truffles has now settled into Fireleaf quite well.

8dKJNZe.jpg


Qktg4wT.jpg


Interesting. Truffles moved here from Treetop, yet she talks about living in a town called Honeydew. I didn't know villagers remembered more than one town.




Hours later, I have finished my work at last. It's getting dark and I still have so much other stuff to get done!

qqXyNMO.jpg


The Motherly Statue has arrived safely in my mailbox. I am relieved to see it is still in perfect condition.

fjKKxor.jpg


Let's hope Blathers accepts it into his collection...

I decide to check it out as soon as Blathers is done with the exhibit.

Ah, it's so nice to have a genuine Motherly Statue. I expected to wait years for this, yet it is right here in my Museum.




I meet Wart Jr. on my visit to T&T Mart.

Qu55mjD.jpg


XCr6ZsH.jpg


Always nice to see what different villagers have to say about the store.




a5F0JkT.jpg


gnQJQ9o.jpg


This looks like it will be fitting for spring. I might have to change my door, but other than that I think it will look fairly good.




Now that I'm done with errands, I can finally relax a little.

09ymaEc.jpg


I like to watch the balloons float by. I don't like balloon furniture so I don't really need to shoot them down.

Looks like the bridge project has really inspired citizens to work extra hard to improve the town. Thanks again for being so helpful, Bertha.




I walk a few steps to the first villager I've seen sitting on a bench. It's nice to know my projects are already improving the lives of my neighbors.

We share a lovely moment together. Canberra has become quite a good friend over the time I have known her.

I didn't expect Moose to be such a connoisseur when it comes to this kind of stuff.

5VL8IIV.jpg


Sure, I'll sell it. If you want it that badly, I could just give it for free.

TUOAGdq.jpg


wI92U6X.jpg





Literally the next conversation later...

DKVMfn7.jpg


I wont post the same conversation a second time. I end up selling him the butterfly. I now expect to soon hear Kid Cat and Moose fighting over which of these items is superior.

drW4aCY.jpg


Kid Cat admiring his new friend. Looks like Moose is eavesdropping in the background.

Lkh5Fb5.jpg


There sure are a lot of balloons tonight.




GcfLaPs.jpg


That lychee tree is almost mature! It's only a matter of time before we have a steady source of island fruit.




9RRlpO8.jpg


Going to bed early tonight. Today has been quite a busy day for me.
 
"Oh, Silver! This is a rare sight! You're actually doing some work!"
Canberra really roasted you lol :p
