Turning Over A New Leaf: Episode 3 – ‘Meet The Villagers’

Yes, it’s official. On the noticeboard and stuffs.

Why is it a town hall, but the citizens are villagers.

If this is making a ticking noise, I am going to be very unhappy.

Time I mentioned some of the local yokels. You’ve already saw Cookie and Maelle, here’s Bones – the other dog in Dalby.

According to the Animal Crossing: New Leaf game guide, he is lazy. That explains why he spends all day wandering about with a watering can, net or shovel and never sits on his bum for a minute.

Fauna is as sweet as they come.

Then there is Kevin…

Or to be more to the mark…

If Kevin was a bacon buttie, he’s eat himself.

But it’s good to have some townies with a bit of self-assurance. It makes up for Isabelle’s over-dedication to the job to the point of neurosis.

Lucky there’s no smoking in this game. She’d be demolishing a pack of Luckys behind the Town Hall four times a day, if not something stronger.

Mayorial Memo To Myself: get everyone in Dalby to chill-the-Bell-out!

You really want me to answer that obvious feedline? This isn’t Morecombe and Wise.

With someone call Camofrog due to move in, getting some sort of plan thought up for this place is an idea.

One of which will be getting a Health and Safety Executive formed to deal with these pitfall seeds. They’re everywhere!

Start humming ‘Land Of Hope And Glory’ to get the full effect for the next bit.

I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble ladybro; but I have the heart and stomach of a, em, mayor, and of a mayor of Dalby too, and think foul scorn that cicadas or zebra turkeyfish, or any frogs of the pond, should dare to invade the borders of my realm.

To which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up the net and rod.

I will catch them on the beeches. I will catch in the rivers. I will catch them trilling noisely on the trees or lurking in silence. I will catch them flying in the air or scuttling along the ground, or indeed skating on the pond. 

I will donate them to the musuem, and the surplus sell for Bells for public works, whatever the cost may be.

I will never surrender – except if the battery on the Nintendo 3DS gets too low and I have to let it recharge.

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat – and being repeatedly stung by those bloody bees.
