I've already started my trip!
A man named Kapp'n was my cabbie, and we drove to the historic town of Silent Hill!

Okie dokie.

Once we arrived I went into the Town Hall and met my first new face, Pelly. She's a clerk at the Town Hall. She seems very nice.

She said that she had heard about me from a man named Tom Nook, and that Mister Nook was the one I had spoken to on the phone.
He had made special accommodations for me but Pelly seemed a little apprehensive. Even so, she assured me it was nothing to worry about.

On the way out to see my house, I could have sworn I saw someone duck behind the town hall. But when I investigated, no one was there.

It turned out to be smaller than I had thought. Inside there was only a candle on a cardboard box (a makeshift table I suppose) and a tape deck that couldn't get any radio signal despite its antenna.

On leaving the house I was confronted by none other than Tom Nook, the man who claims to have restored the house. He assured me that it may seem creepy, but it ultimately won't be a problem.

It was then Nook informed me I owed $19,800 on my house! Thankfully there was no deadline for this loan, and he said I could pay it back bit by bit, day by day. That seems good.

As a way to start making some income to pay toward the debt, he offered to let me work part-time at his store. It seems I don't have a choice in the matter.

On the way to the store I met a fellow villager, Eloise. She tells me her sign and wishes me luck here in Silent Hill.

Apparently I'm not the only one who stays up late. Eloise seems friendly.

I arrive at Nook's store, named Nook's Cranny, a small rustic shack with a light on. Next door there is a tailor named The Able Sisters, but their light is off for the night.

When I arrived Nook had me change into a work uniform and my first task was to plant some obscuring trees around his shack.
Instead I cleverly planted them around my own house.

The old man turned out to be the Mayor of Silent Hill, and he told me about town protocols and a little of their history, safety guidelines, etc.

I bumped into Blathers, the curator here, and the lights came on.
He told me this is the museum and historical society of Silent Hill and they keep numerous exhibits here. The place is comprised of exhibits for art, fossils, insects, aquatic life, and astronomy, and further there is a cafe and bar downstairs.

There are three employees: himself, his younger sister Celeste, who operated the observatory, and his old friend Brewster, who worked the cafe.

A young, peppy girl welcomes me to the store and introduces herself as Mabel. She seems enthusiastic about the goods sold here, which appear to be clothes, but she mentions that I can design my own patterns and they'll put them on t-shirts. Sort of like Kinkos, I guess.
