Welcome to Fireleaf, my second New Leaf town! I plan on documenting many of my experiences here, so I hope you enjoy them.
As I exit the Train Station and am greeted by the welcoming party, I am pleased to see that I have never had any of these villagers in my towns before. They are Bertha the normal hippo, Moose the jock mouse, and Robin the snooty bird. While I do have my favorite villagers, I think it is nice to play with new faces. I am also pleased that the Train Station has a red roof, which is my personal favorite of its 4 default designs. Due to a misunderstanding, I am mistaken for the mayor. Honestly, this mistake was probably for the better as we all know what happens when you leave these villagers to govern themselves.
If you are curious about what Fireleaf's map looks like, it has a right facing beach with a river that goes horizontal before curving 90 degrees. It also has
6 lakes which I am really excited about. I know a lot of people here dislike lakes in their town, but I think they are a really nice geographic feature. I see a lot of potential in this town, and am excited to start developing it. I will post a picture of its map as soon as I have the means to do so.
After a quick meeting with Isabelle at the Town Hall, I decide to visit the other 2 villagers who could not attend the welcoming ceremony.
Egbert is someone I had in my old City Folk town, so seeing him here is a pleasant surprise. I am sure we will become fast friends.
I had Gruff in my other New Leaf town, but his stay there was too short for me to form much of an opinion about him. I look forward to having him as a resident.
After meeting the neighbors, Tom Nook and I went to work in finding a plot of land.
Here is where I decided to build my house. My tent looks rather puny next to such a grand building. I anticipate it will look really good once fully upgraded, but for now I am stuck in a tent during winter. Perhaps Isabelle will let me sleep in the Town Hall during that time.
During the tree ceremony, everyone got out of their houses to watch it. I feel kind of bad for them, since at this point I think it was around 1AM. Everyone seemed happy though.
I plan for this town to be more relaxing than Taiga was. I will not meticulously plan where villager plots will go, and I will let things happen more naturally. I always experience less burnout when I do that. I look forward to seeing what Fireleaf has to offer.
