I was a bit surprised to find a goodbye letter from Jay in the mail tonight. I didn’t really want to lose him so soon, but there’s nothing I can do about it now.

Kiki was walking around with a net tonight. Apparently, she was trying to catch a flea! Be careful what you wish for, Kiki…

Mint asked me to make a delivery to Kabuki, so I took over the gift…which Kabuki had forgotten was coming.

The gift was a fresh shirt, which Kabuki seemed to appreciate. However, he didn’t put it on. When I returned to Mint, she gave me 500 bells for making the delivery.

I ran into Rosie outside, and she said I look like I’m bad at budgeting. That’s kinda rude…

So she gave me a cabin clock for free. But the bad news is that she gave me an even harsher insult: She called me irresponsible with money! What is she even basing this on?

I played early enough to see Pelly at town hall, but she didn’t have any additional dialogue for me. If there was anything additional to the recent storyline, maybe I missed it.

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.

I received a wonderful letter from Bree in the mail tonight: It was her goodbye letter. It’s nice to be Bree-free!

Margie was still sick, so I gave her another dose of medicine. Hopefully she’ll start to feel better soon.

Kiki wanted a crawfish to eat, and she suggested a competition to see who could catch one first. I won that competition, and I took the crawfish back to her. She thanked me by giving me a regal bookcase. But what she said next really surprised me: She said next time, she should steal my fishing rod before we start! That’s not nice!

At town hall, Pelly’s story continued. She said she’s been watching Pete’s behavior to try to figure out if he has a crush on someone.

Pelly stopped herself before she guessed who Pete had a crush on; she didn’t want to jump to conclusions. But she ultimately decided that she would ask Pete about it directly. We’ll see what happens next time, I suppose.
