Welcome to Pretzel

Mayor Banana reporting for duty! Progress in Pretzel is supposed to be very slow as I'm doing the ACNL Nuzlocke challenge.

Well, if a snow machine blew candyfloss (I tasted it, it’s definitely sugar) in my face 24/7, I would be confused about bees and butterflies as well.

People already start fantasising about the elusive juices of clackercarts but no, we certainly don’t need a bakery or anything in Pretzel. Why would we?

Tutu and Pietro have been sending each other gifts ever since Pietro moved to Pretzel -- but they never actually talked to each other. I decided to give them a little push...

Invitation to Pretzel’s 1st open day

Isabelle’s tourism concept is finally finished. Her analysis says we needed more visitors to liven up our small town so we are having an open day! Here’s Isabelle’s note she asked me to publish:

“

When: Sunday, 7th June (UTC+2) Where: in Pretzel, two stations from Secret-by-the-Sea Who: anyone!! What: You are free to do anything in our small town! We encourage bringing your own food/beverage and some gardening utensils.

Please ask for an appointment in advance so mayor Banana can properly welcome you at the train station.

“

Here is the unofficial/proper invitation/explanation:

The idea for this event is that you can leave your mark on Pretzel. You will have exactly 10 minutes to do some landscaping in a part of the town that you can choose (a map will be published later). Whether you plant a forest or a flower bed, chop everything down and make a pitfall maze - it is your choice. The area will be named after you and treasured forever. (Unless, you know, someone moves in over it but this is not in our hands.) Please plan ahead and bring your own supplies.

If you want to bring a shirt from your home town for our residents to wear, feel free to put it up in our tailor shop. You are also free to take anything from our town and talk to anyone you meet in Pretzel -- but please do not donate to our PWPs or leave bells behind, thank you.

Just message me in advance with your FC, town and mayor name if you want to participate. Your time zone/availability wouldn’t hurt either :>

After having been trapped in a cardboard box for a whole day, Apple thought it was time to grrrrooowwl up! And change into a cleaner outfit.

And then he danced the very new wavy watering can dance with Frita all night long until he remembered he had to water his flowers and went home.

Pietro the rainbow sheep couldn’t take living in a town with someone wearing a rainbow tee any longer, so he had to leave. At least that’s what he said, but I didn’t have the Pietr-o-meter on hand to prove him wrong.

[bananas-leaf]

He’s from the Happy Home Baker’s Academy, he said. And I’m not allowed to make business with him (aka order pretzels) because I have a history of wanting to become a bee keeper...

By the way, I’m only intested in this cup of tea if a pretzel goes with it.

[bananas-leaf]

Don’t... don’t tell me bells are play money? Isabelle... ! IIIIIII-SABELLE!

Puck, who lives right in front of the donations box, told me he heard weird gnawing sounds at night. Like some of the other residents, he was too afraid of the living urban legend about the Biting Gyroid and asked me to donate in his stead. Later, I brought him a knight so he’d feel safe at night.

[bananas-leaf]

I did my research. You better treat it well, mate.

[bananas-leaf]

Well, it’s safe to say that Apple’s appearance was pretty much the coolest so far.

[bananas-leaf]

When you order apples but get Apple delivered.

Maple and Tutu were talking about changing this town’s name. But isn’t Pretzel false advertising already? What do they know about Pretzel that doesn’t make it false advertising? Tutu’s suggestion, Whatever, seemed to have pleased Rudy... I’ll have to ask Isabelle how direct the democracy is here.

[bananas-leaf]

Rudy’s last name is Rude.
