Morris

**Morris** is the manager of the JojaMart branch located in Pelican Town. He believes Joja will set a path of improvement to the Ferngill Republic - no matter the cost. Morris worked his way up to manager from within the company and prioritizes the store's success over his own. He's so dedicated he's spent his own money on store improvements and will work such long hours he sleeps under his desk, rather than go home.

The extra work Morris puts into the store isn't appreciated by his employees and many of the townspeople outside JojaMart shoppers Andy, Pam, and Jodi don't like him. Underneath his focus, Morris is lonely and exhausted. He hopes one day to find a place he feels he belongs and enjoy the comforts of life he longs for.

## Schedule

Morris always arrives to town before the player wakes at 6AM. He spends most of his morning waiting around Pelican Town for JojaMart to open. Some days he stands outside of Pierre's handing out coupons for the store. Once JojaMart opens, he will consistently stand in his office for the day. Once JojaMart closes at 11pm, he will make his way to the bus stop and leave just past 1AM.

After finishing the JojaMart route, and seeing all of Morris' 10 heart events, his schedule changes. He can be found outside of the store more often and only heads to his desk in JojaMart in the evenings. He also no longer leaves to the bus stop at night.

 Description:A Beautiful Day
Morris cheerfully walks through Pelican Town greeting the villagers. A small conversation occurs between Morris and Mayor Lewis. Afterward, Morris walks up next to Pierre's Shop and wishes Pierre well, who doesn't respond. The Farmer runs into Morris on the bridge to Joja Mart. Morris asks if they are enjoying the beautiful weather, at which point the Farmer can respond:

* **"Why are you so happy?"** or **"I suppose the weather is nice."**

Either way, Morris explains he is in good spirits because the president of Joja Corp is impressed with his work in the valley and alludes to potentially getting a promotion. The Farmerer is able to say:

* **"Sounds like a well deserved promotion"**

Morris says his labor is finally paying off and offers you a discount if you visit him later. If you do so that day, he will give you a Gold Bar.

* **"Money isn't everything."**

### **Hearts: 4**

 Description: Regional Inspection
Morris calls a staff meeting and explain to Shane, Sam, Martin, and Claire that the regional manager is coming by tomorrow to inspect the store. He gives the staff more work on top of their normal duties to make sure things are in shape for the big day. The staff then complains about the extra work and no extra pay.
If the Farmer chooses to stay out of the conversation, Morris just tells the employees to get back to work. If the Farmer says something, Morris questions how long they've been standing there. The Farmer can reply:

* **"You should be nicer to your employees."**

The employees agree with you. Morris reluctantly suggests he could ask his managers about giving them all a pay raise. The employees are happier. *(+30 friendship)*
Later, Morris is unhappy you barged into the meeting but appreciates the idea for an alternate management strategy.

* **"Your employees should listen to you."**

### **Hearts: 6**

 Description:Long Hours
The Farmer comes across Morris trying to lock the door at Joja Mart. The Farmer offers to try and successfully locks the door. Morris explains he's been working all day and says he only needs five hours of sleep to keep him going. The Farmer can respond to this remark with two options:

* **"Why are you working such long hours?"**

Morris will explain that if you don't put in the hours, your dreams won't happen. He points out that the Farmer is also up at this hour, making their dreams a reality. Morris then states that Joja will make the valley greater than it is now and won't stop working towards that, no matter the cost.

* **"You should go home and rest."**

### **Hearts: 8**

 Description:A New Leaf
