Town hall- Sunday all day

[fh_animalcrossing]

Town hall might not have looked any different except for an assortment of animals wearing clothes who would wander in or out of the building, or sometimes sit on stools outside eating popsicles.

Which might've been a clue that something was up, if you were one to notice such things.

But if you walked inside, you would immediately find a long counter behind which sat a raccoon and a dog, quietly working as music played in the air, and they'd be so happy to help you! Help you with what, you ask? That's a very good question, take a seat in one of these chairs and let's get started.

There was certainly one current resident of the island that couldn't help being particularly intrigued by an influx of people that made this place feel a lot more normal. The changes to the island itself were interesting, too, but not nearly as much as the people for Freya, who couldn't help feeling another surge of the endless hope that she had been trying so hard to tamper down since she arrived here.

The arrival of cooler weather and electricity, the return of her clothes, the familiarity of other anthromorphs besides two small cats milling around on their daily business...this was the most Freta had felt like herself in a while, it seemed.

The town hall felt like a good center for the new buzz of.activity, so.she figured that was as good a place to start as any.

"What's going on today? Is there some sort of festival?"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"Welcome to town hall!" the raccoon greeted her. "I'm Tom Nook. No festival today, I'm afraid, but maybe later in the week if there's interest! Your island appeared on our network and we would like to welcome you with open arms!"

Tamsin stepped into the building late for her shift, as per usual, and kept walking to her off--

"Bright Eyes! Where are you?! Call pest control!"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"No need for pest control!" Tom Nook said cheerily. "All bugs can be caught with a net!"

[fjordicswagger]

Tamsin ignored him. "Bright Eyes!" she bellowed again, though her assistant was apparently not forthcoming. "Why is there a rat. In my town hall. And why does the rat have a dog?!"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"Is the rat a new villager?" Tom Nook asked, looking at Isabelle, who shrugged. "I wasn't informed. We'll get right on that. Hello, hello! I'm Tom Nook. This is the construction consultation counter! How can I help you, hm?"

[fjordicswagger]

Tamsin held up one finger in his general direction. "No. I am not dealing with talking rats, even if you turn out to be some kind of new fae. BRIGHT EYES!"

And with that, she stomped into the next room.

She was going to get you evicted, rat. As soon as she found her assistant. Who probably secretly arranged this whole mess.

[fh_animalcrossing]

"Poor thing," Isabelle said. "She sounds like she could use some tea. That always calms me down!"

It would probably not help.

Go straight to the top, Tahani had always believed. That's why after getting nowhere at the police station for her Alexis-stole-her-clothes theory because it was insane, she found herself at city hall.

"MY MONEY IS GONE."

[fh_animalcrossing]

"Oh no, did you spend all of your Bells?" Isabelle asked.

[sexy_giraffe]

"No, I have pockets full of Bells," Tahani said, "inexplicably. I don't have any money."

[fh_animalcrossing]

"Bells are currency!" Isabelle told her. "You can use Bells to purchase goods and pay for services! And they're easy to earn. You can sell items to Timmy and Tommy, like bugs, fruit, and furniture that you've made!"

[sexy_giraffe]

"Bells are bells," Tahani said, holding one up. "This is not a pound!"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"The only pounds we care about is the size of the sea bass you catch!" Isabelle grinned.

[sexy_giraffe]

"I am not catching a sea bass!" Tahani said, looking traumatized. "Or selling bugs!"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"You could also shake trees for fruit! Or dive for sea creatures! Or sell items, including furniture you make yourself!" Isabelle suggested. "There are plenty of ways to replenish your Bells!"

[sexy_giraffe]

"I wouldn't have the first clue where to start making furniture," Tahani flailed.

[fh_animalcrossing]

"There are DYI workbenches all over the island. They look like tree stumps. The recipes are all there, you just need the materials to make them!" Isabelle told her. "Easy peasy!"

[sexy_giraffe]

"Oh, I'm sure," Tahani said, rolling her eyes. "Do I look like some sort of woodworker?"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"You can be anything you want to be!" Isabelle said. "You already have all the tools!"

[sexy_giraffe]

"I do?" Tahani said, looking deeply skeptical.

[fh_animalcrossing]

"You also have tools in your pockets!"

Two kinds of axes! Two!

[sexy_giraffe]

"WHY DO I HAVE AXES IN MY POCKETS?" Tahani yelled once she found them.

[fh_animalcrossing]

"You could carry them around all day, but that might get tiring."

That was her explanation, yes.

[sexy_giraffe]

"That makes absolutely no sense," Tahani told her.

[fh_animalcrossing]

"That's why pockets are so great!"

If you were looking for sense, Tahani, you weren't gonna find it here.

[sexy_giraffe]

"Well, I'll just empty out my pockets!"

That was probably not going to work, huh?

[fh_animalcrossing]

"You can do that," Isabelle nodded. "Everything will be waiting for you when you get back!"

[sexy_giraffe]

"Well who would possibly want multiple axes?" Tahani yelled.

[fh_animalcrossing]

"One makes it easier to chop down trees."

Of course.

[sexy_giraffe]

Tahani did not just throw her head back and scream, which she was particularly proud of.

It got her zero points leading the the Good Place, of course.

"Why would I chop down trees?" Tahani asked. "Are we back to the furniture?"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"You can make trees with furniture! Now you've got it!"

Tahani seemed stressed.
