An Unexpected Plot

Unfortunately, turnip prices didn’t go up this morning. They actually dropped a little, down to 147 bells.

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 147 bells.But that was still nearly 50% more than I paid, so I sold the remainder of my turnips at that price. It’s a good thing I sold when I did too, because the prices plummeted to 48 bells in the afternoon.

I was quite surprised when I saw a new house plot in town! I wasn’t expecting a new villager. Since this will be my 10th villager, it had to have came from a StreetPass or someone who visited my town recently–Squishy or Tom. At least the house is in a good spot; it’s where Amelia’s house was.

The new house plot.But who is the mystery villager? Dizzy the lazy elephant. I’m not sure if I’ll like him or not, but I guess time will tell. For the first time since Tia left town, Big Top won’t be the only elephant around.

This spot reserved for Dizzy's new home. -Nook's HomesI saw an igloo at the campsite, and my heart dropped. What if the surprise arrival of Dizzy prevented me from getting a good villager I actually wanted? But when I went inside, I saw the camper was Simon the monkey. He’s okay I guess, but I think I would have taken Dizzy over Simon anyway.

Simon: Hey there! I'm here in town camping! I picked Forest randomly off a map.As I ran around town, I kept falling on my face. Another bad luck day already?

Me falling on my face.Katrina’s shop was already closed, so I had no choice but to live with my bad luck for the rest of the day. I ended up with a mouth full of ice chips, dirt, and bugs.
