I was on the island with some Japanese girl, not really interacting with her. Eventually she wanted to do a tour so I decided to join in. After the tour she sees me eyeing the mermaid dresser being sold and she buys it for me (even though I didn't really want it). After that we starting doing random emotions and making emoticon faces until we unfortunately got disconnected. Here she is complimenting one of the emoticon faces I made:
She got the game near it's Japanese launch and had played over 500 hours of it, and yet I had 1 more badge than her. I guess that tells me hardcore I am.
So...anyone want a mermaid dresser?
