Day 12: Town Hall Opens

In the daily announcements, Tom Nook mentioned that the brand new town hall building has officially opened up. And Isabelle has now joined the staff! She will take over daily announcement duties from Tom Nook, so that Nook can keep pondering if apples are apples. 😉 🍎

I got a letter from Resident Services to let me know about the new town hall, and they also sent me a Nook Miles ticket, so that I can take another mystery island tour.

Logan sent me a letter saying he was sending a poster of Bob…

He also said April Fools! I found out what that meant when I looked at the item…

That’s one way to get deleted off my friend roster. (Just kidding). 😛 Sorry, but I am not keeping that up in my house! 😛 It’s not Halloween yet.

Also, David sent me a peach surprise box and Sebastian sent me an MVP shirt, which I put on. Thank you, Logan, David, Sebastian, and also Kelly, who gave me an outdoor bath (and a couple other items) the other day.

I straightened up my house a bit, and I put the outdoor bath in here (after I couldn’t decide on a spot outdoors).

But again, please don’t feel obligated to send me gifts. I really like to play Animal Crossing with as little outside help as possible; I like earning and finding everything on my own. There is something I wouldn’t mind receiving, though: more pitfall seeds. 😛 At some point, I might ask for ingredients for crafting more, as well. 😛

I headed to the new town hall, and Tom Nook told me that the duties are now split up: Tom Nook will be in charge of home and construction, and Isabelle will deal with general island things, like the town tune and town flag.

Tom Nook can now help me with building additional bridges or ramps! He can also move existing buildings. He also told me of his plans to bring K.K. Slider concert to town the island. The first step is to build a campsite to bring more villagers to the island. He sent me the recipe for the campsite construction kit.

I also browsed through the list of bridges I can build, because I do need another one to connect the western part of town to the rest. But I didn’t have enough money, and I decided I would expand my house one more time first. (I later did just that, and my house will have a back room by tomorrow).

While I was at town hall, I also redeemed 8,000 Nook Miles for the “Ultimate Pocket Stuffing” reward. That allow me to now hold 40 items in my pockets. YESSSSS!!!

I found another star fragment on the beach. I’ll just keep these in storage for now. I did some fishing, and I caught my first oarfish. This thing is HUGE.

A message bottle showed up on the beach, and it contained a recipe for a garden wagon. By the way, am I the only one that always forgets if it’s called a message bottle or a bottle message? o.O

Agent S gave me a DIY recipe for a cabin wall. I ran into Midge outside, sitting by the river. She said she was comfortable, so she wasn’t going to get up. That’s kinda cute! 😀

Gulliver was in town again, so I collected his communicator parts for him. He will send me another reward in the mail.

After collecting some iron nuggets, I was able to make the campsite construction kit. I placed it in the western part of town, and it will be done tomorrow.

Tomorrow will also be the start of the Bunny Day festival, and cherry blossom season, so it looks like a busy day! I hope to see you then! 🙂

Update: I forgot to mention this, but with the opening of town hall, I can also now hear the hourly tunes! Finally! I’ve only heard two so far, but they sounded pretty good from my first impressions. 🙂
