Thomas (FoMT)

Thomas (トーマス, Tomasu) is a character in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.

Mayor Thomas is the first person you'll meet as you move into Mineral Town. He loves the town and worries about its well-being. He has high hopes for your farm and that you can lift the town's spirits with your hard work. Thomas is well liked by the townsfolk and can often be seen organizing the town's festivals.

Thomas is always at his home during weekdays (next to Ellen's) where he lives with his son Harris. On any fine weekends, he goes to visit Ellen at her home and will often take a stroll to Rose Square. If the weather is otherwise, he will resort to the Inn instead.

Events
Customers For Kai

The event starts when your character walks into Kai's restaurant between 5-7pm. Triggering the event will cause the day to end.

Kai greets you and says that he doesn't have any customers, as usual. Popuri suddenly calls and walks into the restaurant, excited, telling Kai that she brought customers for him. He's excited as he sees the first few customers come in. Popuri then says that there's more customers outside. Kai's happy that he has customers, but is worried that it's going to be too difficult to cook for them all. He asks the player to help and you agree. The scene shows you, Kai, and Popuri scrambling around the restaurant trying to serve everybody.

After all the customers have been served, your character, Kai, and Popuri are alone in his restaurant. Kai is tired after working so hard. He tells Popuri that he's grateful for the customers, but she brought too many! Popuri apologizes for overdoing it and Kai admits that he might be glad that he has such few customers. He thanks your character and you go home.

Thomas's Request

On Winter 2nd if you are friends with Thomas, he will visit you when you leave your house in the morning. He will ask for an item because he made a bet with a mayor from another town. If you succeed in getting Thomas the item he requested by 7pm he will reward you with a golden lumber. This event can only be triggered on either sunny or snowy day.
