In the Spotlight

For the first time in nearly three years of playing in this town, there was a bulletin board post about a specific item for sale on Nook’s shop. The “emergency notice” informed me that an exotic chest is in stock.

As I entered the shop, Tom Nook informed me that he had a spotlight product in stock today.

When I went upstairs, Tommy had a similar bit of dialogue. With all three notices, I’m pretty sure I would have noticed at least one of them in three years of playing. 😛 So this seems to confirm what I’ve read on multiple sites, that spotlight items only appear once you’ve added another player to town. Maybe I’d be able to delete the 2nd player now and still get spotlight items, I’m not sure. But I’ll probably just leave him there for now…at least until I get all the paintings I need.

I went ahead and bought the exotic chest for 1,800 bells, even though I didn’t particularly need it.

I visited Margie, and she thanked me for the gift of good health. Well, medicine, to be specific. But she’s feeling better now, and she gave me a satellite for helping her out in her time of need.

There was a new house in town, so I went inside to meet Bree’s replacement. It was Mint, the green squirrel! Wow, to trade Bree for Mint is pretty awesome! Anyway, Mint moved here because of a boy. Uh, I mean, “many complicated reasons.”

Well, whatever the reason, I’m happy to have you in Forest, Mint.

I ran into Big Top outside, and he spontaneously gave me a gift…a jack in the box.

I played later tonight than I have the last few weeks, so Phyllis was at town hall instead of Pelly. Phyllis didn’t have any dialogue for me, and I don’t know if Pelly had any more. Maybe I’ll see her next time.
