No art this turn. I just don't feel like it.
Turn 58 AM, Tuesday, May 3rdGet +1 House.
Horatio shall, with high expectations and a sense of excitement in his heart, let himself in and take a look around the house!
He was ready to go fishing!
Mathew thanked Blathers and assured the owl that he would visit Celeste's cafe. Only he wouldn't do that right away. Looking out he could see the first sun rays for the day and decided to walk to the Town Hall.
Brian: B3
Horatio: A2 (In red house)

turned straight towards the direction of the raccoon and backed up a step. The wind blew leaves onto the latter's work clothes, which he then brushed off quickly. He was awaiting a response from the blue-capped human.
I guess this fellow is trying to sell me the house I just walked in, thought Brian.
But there's something fishy about it. Oh well... I have a bit of money. Might as well take him up on the offer since I need a place to stay."If you were to buy that house, the modest furnishings inside would also be yours. What do you say? Interested? No?" The raccoon stepped forward.
"Well, it's nice, but it's pretty small. I'm not really picky, though, and compared to other places I've lived in it's fine." Brian shrugged. The raccoon took that as a yes.
"Wonderful!" The raccoon walked up, took Brian's hand and shook it. "Now, about the price..."
Uh oh, Brian thought.
"With furnishing expenses, housing expenses, billing expenses, living expenses, Nook's Corner bonuses, tax expenses, electricity expenses, and expense-calculating expenses, that comes to a total of
36,800 bells!" The expense-conjuring raccoon stifled a greedy smile. Brian was pretty sure that, just for a moment, his pupils turned into money signs.
"Erm... I only have
3000 bells. I have no idea where I'm going to get the rest of that money!" Brian knew this would not sway such an aggressive salesman such as this one, but he gave the money to him anyway.
"Oh, fine, fine!" The raccoon stepped back and pointed to an old run down shack in the distance. "You can come work it off at Nook's Corner. I'm Nook, by the way. Tom Nook. Nice to meet you, yes. Goodbye!"
With that, Tom Nook ran off to the direction of his shop.
"How lovely! My, a red roof, my favourite colour! Well, no sense dilly-dallying now, is there?"
Horatio let himself into the red house. The door was not locked, and he figured no one was inside, since the lights were off. The house was dark, but not cold. He bumbled around for a minute before finding the light switch and flicking it on.
To his surprise, the house had some meager furnishings. Aside from a lamp and table on the other side of the room, he noticed a radio and a red couch near the leftmost edge. Oh, Horatio
did love to listen to his favorite music sometimes! Given he had not even paid for the house yet, it was understandable that it was not completely decked-out in lavish furnishings.
As Horatio stood near the door, lost in thought about how he would decorate, his hair stood up, as if static electricity was building up around him. He heard voices through the single window - a familiar voice, and a new one - laughing and talking as they passed by. As he became aware of these senses and snapped out of his daydreaming, he noticed movement behind the lamp table. Almost as if something was hiding in the corner.
Richard hopped off the fancy white bed. He wasn't going to just take someone's fishing pole without at least offering some company in return. Finding a place to stay could wait. Right now, friendship took priority.
"Thanks for the pole! It's generous of you," he said, walking around in what light was present from the morning sun. He took the pole in hand and pretended to cast it a few times.
Unfortunately, on the third time, the line swung back at him, wrapping around his torso and causing him to fall over. He had made quite the fool of himself!
Becky looked down at him again, snickering. He pretended nothing was wrong and accepted her offer.
"I meant to do that. Anyway, I'd love to go fishing with you. Where's the best
place?" He attempting to hop back to his feet again, dazed.
"You're both hilarious and clumsy! I usually fish at the the dock. We can get there by crossing the bridge right near the waterfall. Did you come with anyone?" Becky squinted her eyes at him.
Richard was surprised by the question. "Yeah... why?"
"Well, there's been four empty houses that were marked as "sold" just within the past week. One of them is by the waterfall."
Suddenly, Richard realized that
someone in town had indeed been expecting them. He hadn't signed any papers, nor had he given any notice. He just packed up and headed to Mopeville along with the other three dudes. "Yeah, actually. There were three others: Horasia, Brian and Matthew. I think."
Becky dropped her suspicions. "Well, that makes sense. Have you checked out your new house yet?"
"No," Richard looked around as he was saying this. "Actually, I haven't even bought a house yet. There's something weird going on around here."
"Boy, do I kn-" Becky stopped. "I mean, uh, why don't we head out to go fish? No use wasting time away by suspecting no one in particular of vague precognition or something."
The two headed out for the fishing dock. They talked and laughed, at least until they passed by the red house. Its lights were on, but they were flickering. There wasn't any sound inside, and even if there was, the background noise from the nearby waterfall would have drowned it out. Strange. Richard supposed he could stop to investigate, or continue on with their little trip.
Mathew said his thanks and goodbyes to Blathers, assuring him that, at some point, he would visit Celeste's cafe. He decided on his next visit being to the Town Hall.
He walked out and attempted to discern the direction he should head. Unfortunately, it was pretty hard to tell, due to the town being decently large and spread out.
He managed to find the place anyway, but noticed a sign on the door:"Hello!
The Mopeville Town Hall/Post Office
Is experiencing some regular electricity difficulties.
You may have to wait until power is restored!"
A shame. Mathew frowned. However, he noticed a white pelican walking around the side of the building, looking for something.
