Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Congratulations, (Captain). Today is the day you were born. And what an auspicious day it is. As such, it is an important day for all of us as well. Thank you for being with us, (Captain). My spin blade life only grows larger with every moment I spend with you. That is what my spins tell me. I made the right decision joining this crew! Life is whatever art you make of it. So please let me help you make your life even more artistic. My spin blade wouldn't have it any other way.
2	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain)! What an auspicious occasion! Why are you embarrassed? Everyone's gathered today to celebrate your birth. Humph. Don't be so modest. You've done more than your fair share for the crew. It's only proper everyone returns the favor by celebrating your big day with gusto. Haha. And I plan on partying harder than anyone. If I hadn't come with you, I wouldn't have been able to spread the glory of the spin blade across the skies. So thank you. And one more thing... I got you this custom-made spin blade as a gift.
3	✔	(Captain), happy birthday! I've been able to spread my spin blade to so many new lands thanks to you. I can't thank you enough for that. That's why your birthday is the perfect occasion for me to show my appreciation. You'd better get back to the party soon. Everyone's waiting for you. I have a new move I'm gonna show later! I've been practicing hard just to wow everyone on this special day! Today marks the starting point of a new year for you, (Captain). Here's hoping you have a good spin of it.
4	✔	(Captain), today's your birthday, right? Man, how many years have we traveled together? I've learned so much from you. But the most important thing you taught me is perseverance. The will to keep on spinning no matter what stands in your way. The sun will always rise tomorrow because the world doesn't stop turning... So if you want to light your own way, you best never stop moving. Our journey together has given me power. The power to have spin blades take the skies by storm. If my dream really comes true, you'll be the one who helped make it happen. I'm glad we met. Happy birthday, (Captain).
5	✔	(Captain), come watch this spin blade. That look like a normal spin to you? Think just anyone could pull this stunt? Well, look again. This little ballerina's been turning for a while—without a single wobble. Takes finesse to reach this level of perfection. I'd estimate that, as long as no one touches it, this spin blade will go on whirling for half a year. Life is full of things that are harder than they look. Awesome triumphs you struggle for that no one else can understand. Sucks, doesn't it? To not have your work properly appreciated. But you can't let that get you down. 'Cause if you let other people decide the value of your life... Well, then it's all gonna seem meaningless. But if you can find your own purpose and stay your course... That's when life is worth living. So... Where do you find meaning, (Captain)? I know it feels like I'm lecturing you, but... Really, I'm just wishing you well. Happy birthday, (Captain). And don't worry. I'm gonna be right here watching you blow the world away for years to come.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year! I can't believe a whole new year has already arrived. Look at this spin blade. It's spinning even more than usual. We've got to do something special to celebrate the new year. Any ideas? I've got it! We can spin tops like I've heard of in stories! (Captain), today's the day we spin all the tops!
2	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain)! We've spun by one more year, huh? Don't spin out now! Hm? This? I've attached a thread to my spin blade. You don't know about kites? Lots of people play with them for New Year's. Alas, when the wind is blowing this strongly, a regular kite would just spin ceaselessly, without gaining any height. Kites just aren't made to handle that kind of rotation. So I had a thought: If you fly something that was born to spin, you'd have no problems, right? That's why I've turned this spin blade into a kite! The possibilities of the spin blade are endless!
3	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). Another year has begun to spin. Have you ever heard of a New Year's game called battledore and shuttlecock? You use a wooden implement known as a battledore to bat around a feathered ball called a shuttlecock. I tried using a spin blade in place of the shuttlecock. It proved difficult. The blade would spin off in an unexpected direction whenever struck. As much confidence as I have in controlling it with my fingers... Using a battledore is a different story. The mysteries of the spin blade are many. Anyhow, would you care to accompany me for some battledore and spin blade practice, (Captain)?
4	✔	Well, (Captain)? It's New Year's. What say we bring out the mochi stack? I've got one right here. But instead of an orange, it's got a spin blade for a topper. You want to know why I replaced the orange? Of course I have a reason. We've all been there. It's time to slice the mochi, but you can't get it to crack. That's where spin blades come in. Your typical kitchen knife will slide right off, but this revolving beauty can cut through anything. You could also set the spin blade on top of the mochi and let it spin. This thing can keep going for weeks. Treat it like fortune telling. The longer it whirls, the better luck you'll have. With spin blades, the possibilities are endless. And I wish you a year just like that—filled with infinite possibility and zero limits!
5	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). Another 365-day revolution set in motion. Try not to get spun off. Wha? Forgot to do your year-end cleaning, huh? That explains the glum face. Well, I'm 'boutta flip that frown upside down! With an epic new invention... Featuring spin blades! No, no, no. I swear this is gold. So first, you take your average spin blade, found lying around every household. Then you pop that thing on the floor and let it rip. It whirls itself to every corner of the room, collecting dust and lint, before returning to where it started. Meanwhile, you can be out hanging with friends, shopping for groceries, whatever. No need to babysit this bad boy. By the time you're back, the whole place is spotless. Every speck of dust swept up by whirlwinds of cleanliness! That's the Vacuuma-Blade 300, baby! I was thinking 'bout ways to get spin blades more popular this year, when I realized: what's the one thing everyone's gotta do? Chores! I mean, it ain't gonna be easy putting this plan into action. Gotta figure out how to get the blades to revolve so they suck up dust instead of just swirling it around the room. But I'm not giving up, got it? I'm gonna make spin blades an indispensable part of every household! Well, those dust bunnies aren't getting any smaller. What say we head to your cabin and take the Vacuuma-Blade for a whirl?

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Thanks for helping me practice spinning my blade, (Captain). Hm? Oh, right! Today's Valentine's Day, isn't it? Mmm! This thick, sweet chocolate is just melting in my mouth. The taste is coursing through my whole body, enveloping me in a calming warmth. It's almost a kind of art... I may be able to learn to spin a new way with this. (Captain), this is all thanks to you.
2	✔	Hm? What's the matter, (Captain)? I'm just coming back from my spin practice. I went a little hard today, so I'm feeling the burn. Huh? This chocolate for me? Oh, that's right. Today's Valentine's Day. Mind if I try it? Mmm! The sensual sweetness is spreading throughout my weary body! And this smooth texture— Eureka! This is what I've been missing! This smoothness! Hehe. That's the (Captain) I know. You've spun my inspiration into overdrive. I can't sit around though! I've gotta get back to training! Thanks for the delicious chocolate! See you later!
3	✔	Urgh, my spin technique is off the mark today! How could this be happening! Wait, I know. I'm missing something. Give it to me, (Captain)... You know what I mean. I've gotta have it! Bingo! Valentine's chocolate! Mm... What an artful taste! Hahah. Watch my spin blade go and go. Thanks for the boost, (Captain). I couldn't have done it without your chocolate. You can be such a tease... But I am grateful nonetheless. Thank you for the delicious chocolate.
4	✔	Hey, (Captain)... Do I really look that upset? It's just one of those days, you know... Where nothing spins my way... Think you can take pity on a poor soul and bless him with chocolate? Really? Then don't mind if I do! Mm... Yes, this sweetness! It's exactly what I needed. Heh. Yeah, it was pretty obviously an act, wasn't it? But I mean it when I say your chocolates have taken over me. I'm already looking forward to next year's.
5	✔	(Captain), that what I think it is? AKA, Valentine's chocolates for yours truly. Thanks. Actually, I also got a surprise for you this year... More chocolates! Bon appetit! I ground these beauties up using spin blades, melted them in a double boiler over a fire lit by spin blades, and cooled them using—you guessed it—spin blades. What you hold in your hands, I dub... Chocolat a la Spin Blade! Look at those proportions, that lustrous finish. None of that would've been possible without spin blades. So. How 'bout we savor our Valentine's presents together? With spin blades in hand, of course.

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Here you go. This is your White Day present. Ha... That face... I know just what you're thinking. You suspect I gave you a spin blade, right? But... I've got a surprise for you. Go ahead and open it. Haha. Well? Does this strawberry cake look like a spin blade to you? It's a beautiful cake, right? The way the frosting was applied is simply a work of art. Did you know that when you apply cream to a cake, you spin it? The movement of a spin blade even has applications in cake decorating. All right. Have at it! Enjoy the satisfaction of a delicacy made with the careful spinning of the gods.
2	✔	Ah, there you are. I've been looking everywhere for you, (Captain). Happy White Day! I got you something to thank you for the Valentine's Day gift! It's a cream-filled cake! Huh? Looks like you were expecting a spin blade. Hehe. Fear not. I used a spin blade to whip the cream. Go ahead and try it! You'll be tasting just one of the revolutionary applications of the spin blade!
3	✔	(Captain), you have a minute? Happy White Day! These goodies are for you! Go on, open up the box... Hahah, how do you like the spin blade? But it's no ordinary spin blade. That one's made of candy. Spin blade candy... How's that for innovation? It spins just like the real thing too. Try spinning it with your tongue as you gobble it up. The more rotations you can get, the more the mellow flavor spreads throughout your mouth. It's the perfect melding of spins and sweets!
4	✔	(Captain), this is for you. It's a bag of my homemade marshmallows. Happy White Day. To get that fluffy texture, it's all about how you mix the ingredients. Spin blades gave me this smooth, steady whirl that resulted in the masterpiece you're holding there. By the way, every marshmallow's got some chocolate or jam inside, and they're all different flavors. A fun surprise in every bite. Heh. I can't wait to see your reaction!
5	✔	Hey, (Captain). I made you a little something to thank you for Valentine's but... Yeah, they're a mess, aren't they? My bad... I was trying to bake macarons shaped like spin blades, but they just wouldn't puff right. I mean, the prep work was easy—did it all with spin blades, baby—but by the time they were finished baking, all the macarons came out round. No, stop. I don't need your pity. I know, okay? I know that deep down in your soul, you're hungering for spin blade-shaped macarons. Spin blades are the ideal of beauty. But I... I wasn't able to ascend to their level. Thanks. I'd have never realized my shortcomings if it weren't for you. Well, I guess you can eat those boring normal macarons. But I want you to remember... One day, I'm gonna make spin blade-shaped macarons. And when that time comes, I want you to taste them and tell me how superior they are.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	I'm putting too much energy into spinning my blade, aren't I? Why, you ask? It's my trick of course. I'm not trying to put a spin on things. I'm just having fun. It's important for any artist to enjoy themselves. I call it trick-or-spin! In other words, no matter what you choose, I get to pull a prank. How about I start a typhoon? Haha. I'm just kidding about the typhoon. But I could use the wind to do other things...
2	✔	Trick or spin! Today is Halloween. I'm going to devote all my time today to pulling pranks. Sounds like the perfect way to teach people the glory of spin blades, doesn't it? I spent several sleepless nights just plotting the perfect pranks. Which reminds me, (Captain). You're my first target. Hey now! Where do you think you're going? You can't escape from the winds my spin blades dish out. Hehe. Now, prepare yourself for the greatest prank ever!
3	✔	Hey, (Captain). Is that your Halloween costume? Looks good on you. You're going trick-or-treating in that, huh? As for me, I'll be trick-or-spinning as usual! I've been thinking of a good trick to play, and I've made up my mind. I'll be using my spin blade to whip the treats in your basket into a tornado. Hah-hah! I'll be getting my treats, while also getting to play a trick! Trying to get away from me this year too? How pointless. There's no escape from my spin blade.
4	✔	Hey, (Captain). Mind giving me a hand? I'm trying to tie candy onto these spin blades, but there's too many. At this rate, I'm not going to finish in time. I'm planning to release them all into the air at once, and then the kids'll catch them. Be like a gift from above. It's a twofer—candy and spin blades. Not a bad surprise, right? If we're going to be dealing in tricks, might as well be the kind that sparks some joy. Heh. Guess the theme for this year isn't "trick-or-spin." It's "trick-and-spin!"
5	✔	Spinnah's Voice: Trick or Spin! It's Halloween, yo! Time to stir up the town with some crazy spin blade tricks! Huh? What's that, (Captain)? You don't know where I am? Spinnah: Boo. Over here. Haha! Gotcha! Don't get angry, okay? All part of the spooky Halloween spirit. And lemme tell you, there's more where that came from. The prank-potential of spin blades is infinite! By the time I'm done, today's not gonna be known as Halloween anymore. It's gonna be known as the Spin Blade Fright Fest! Come on! Let's head into town! I'm gonna make it rain candy with the power of spin blades!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	It's snowing! These crystalized shapes really are beautiful. (Captain), do you know why the snow forms such beautiful crystallizations? Haha. You don't know? They say that the snow spins in the clouds as it falls. You already know what I'm trying to say, right? That's right. Beauty is formed within the spin. That is to say, this holiest of nights is when spins are most perfect. That is what the snow teaches us.
2	✔	Tonight's a festive night, huh? I'm glad everyone's enjoying themselves. Even the streets are all gussied up. But there's something missing. Any guesses as to what it is, (Captain)? That's right. Snow. Snow goes perfect with this season, don't you think? Doesn't look like any's gonna fall this year though. Well, luckily for us, I have a solution: everyone's favorite, the spin blade. By spinning this baby, I can send some wind up to the sky... The wind will scatter the bag of paper snow I attached to the hull of the airship. Hah! Check it out! The snow is starting to cover the streets! Hehe. You've witnessed yet another joy that spin blades can bring into our lives. Here, take one as a present!
3	✔	Oh, (Captain). What are you doing up at this hour? Some sound woke you up? Sorry about that. I'm getting ready to head into town. I'll be placing spin blades by the windowsills of children's bedrooms. It is my duty as messenger of spin blades to spread word of them on this holy night. I can already picture the surprised looks of children all over as they open their windowsills in the morning. Especially since the ones I'll be leaving them are forged from gold bricks. Well, I'm off now!
4	✔	Hey, (Captain). Shaping up to be a festive night, isn't it? The spin blade's also here with a blessing for everyone out celebrating. Huh? You don't know what I mean? Look up. Spinnah points to the top of a great evergreen, where a spin blade glistens in place of a star. Hah. Now you see. That, my friend, is a special spin blade. I found a bunch of those Sunlight Stone things, just left to gather dust in the storeroom. Felt like a waste, so I ground some up and dusted the spin blade with them. What do you think? The stuff glitters like magic! Perfect tree topper, in my opinion. I only hope I can spread spin blades throughout the skies, so everyone can bathe in that light... And what better star for me to wish on than the one twinkling on that tree right there? Be real nice if you also wished for the same thing.
5	✔	Lights, music, and smiles everywhere. Now this is what I call the holidays. I got a present for you, (Captain). A special gift for a special night. It's a spin blade that flashes all the colors of the rainbow. Really gets you in that festive mood. Come on. Give it a whirl. See? Like a little lightshow on the tips of your fingers. Not another thing like it in the skies. Found a bunch of multi-colored crystals in the ship's storeroom. Ground them all up to make these babies. Huh? You were saving them up for New Year's celebrations? Uhh... Haha! I got it! That was my New Year's money, wasn't it? Thanks, (Captain). I mighta jumped the gun a bit, but you got me just what I needed. Bet the crystals are thanking you too. What's better than being reborn as a spin blade, right?

The Beauty Is in the Spin

(Captain) and company stop on a small island where they encounter a performer named Spinnah who wishes to convey the beauty of a once-popular toy—the spin blade. After displaying the endless possibilities of the blade, such as its ability to control the wind, Spinnah asks to join the crew on their journey in order return the spin blade to its former glory.

---

The crew stops on a small island to rest and resupply lost provisions.

Three: Hmm...

Katalina picks up a small item she finds and poses a question to the others.

Katalina: I have a question. We continue to see these items all over the island...

Katalina: Would anyone happen to know what they are?

Vyrn: Good question! I wanna know what they are too! I saw one at the inn.

Lyria: I saw one earlier too! It was on a shelf in a shop.

Katalina: That's right... There was even one near the table we were eating at.

Katalina: Hm? The blades on the edge spin...

Vyrn: I wonder what it's used for. Cuz of the shape, it can't be a wheel...

Lyria: Hmm... Maybe it's a gear. You don't see this shape every day...

The small object with its three blades spins on Katalina's fingertip.

Rackam: Hey, y'all! There you are!

Lyria: Rackam!

Vyrn: Rackam! Did you finish fixing the ship? That was quick considering you were all alone.

Rackam: It didn't really need any fixing. Just some tinkering here and there.

Rackam: Hey! Katalina! That's...

Rackam: Hahaha! That's a spin blade! I remember those guys!

Katalina: This is a... spin blade? How did you know that?

Rackam: They were a huge hit back in the day! When I was this little.

Rackam: But they're relics now. How did you get your hands on one?

???: Spin blades are not relics!

Vyrn: Whoa! What's your problem?

???: I'm not just going to stand around while you trash talk spin blades.

Katalina: And you are?

Spinnah: I'm Spinnah! I'm something of a performer on this island.

Spinnah: I thought I would introduce you all to the art of the spin blade, so I followed you.

Katalina: Did you say performer? Are you saying these things we keep seeing all over town are part of an act?

Spinnah: I've placed them everywhere. Not just in town, but on various parts of the island so that travelers will become fascinated with them.

Spinnah: It's all part of my role as a performer.

Vyrn: That's great... But we've still got no idea what this thing even does.

Spinnah: It spins.

Vyrn: Right... And? Seems pretty useless...

Spinnah: That's it. It just spins on the tip of your finger.

Three: ...

Lyria: Is that all it does?

Spinnah: Correct! Its sole purpose is to spin. Isn't it exquisite? The absolute embodiment of beauty, don't you think?

Vyrn: Dude... If you could say something that makes even some sense...

Katalina: Since Rackam knew what it was, I thought it might be some piece of equipment.

Spinnah: Piece of equipment? This baby stands on its own!

Katalina: But... It just spins... So that makes it useless, correct?

Spinnah: !

Spinnah: Sigh... I don't know how much of the world you've seen, but you lack an eye for beauty. Savages...

Katalina: How dare you!

Katalina: This is getting us nowhere. We don't have time for you and your toys.

Spinnah: Really now? Then why are you still spinning it?

Katalina: What? I'm doing no such—

Spinnah silently points to Katalina's fingertip.

Katalina: What!

Katalina is spinning the object with speed and passion.

Spinnah: You aren't the only one. Look at your comrades.

Lyria: What!

Vyrn: What!

Rackam: What!

Katalina: How is this happening! Have I been spinning this the whole time?

Vyrn: No way! We're spinning 'em too! How'd this even get in my hand?

Lyria: What's going on? My finger won't stop. It just keeps spinning the blade.

Rackam: It's just like back in the day! Before you know it, you're spinning!

Spinnah: A fantastic start. But that's only the tip of the iceberg.

Katalina: What? The tip?

Spinnah: Heh heh... Have I gotten your attention? Perhaps I misjudged you. Come with me.

Spinnah: I will take you to see the Spin Cup. Let me show the world of the spinning.

Vyrn: What? What's a Spin Cup?

Spinnah: It's an event that takes place every year on this island. You'll see that spin blades are not relics.

(Captain) and the crew are at a loss for words, but Spinnah runs along nonetheless.

Vyrn: Exactly what are they gonna do at the cup?

Rackam: I have no idea... Spin blades are just toys to kill time.

Katalina: I might be spinning this, but I can't imagine it has anything left to offer.

Having been invited, the crew is obliged to attend the cup.

On the day of the Spin Cup, the crew makes the trek to the arena.

Rackam: The people here seem to be in pretty high spirits... Though the arena isn't really what you'd call packed...

Vyrn: Yeah. I dunno who'd want to come to a spinny thing event.

Spectator: Are you travelers? Must be your first time to the Spin Cup, am I right?

Katalina: Well, yes it is. Would you tell us what this is all about?

Spectator: You've come to the right place. Here's the deal. The first person whose spin blade stops spinning is the loser of the battle.

Katalina: Battle? This a competition of sorts?

Spectator: That's right. And there are no other rules. Things get real ugly around here.

Rackam: I see. So it's a combination of spin blades and martial arts.

Katalina: But... What can a spin blade even do? It's just a toy...

Katalina: I... don't have high hopes for this cup.

Lyria: (Katalina is at it again with the spin blade. I don't think she's aware of it though...)

Katalina skillfully spins the blade on the tip of her finger, completely unaware.

Referee: ...

The crowd cheers as a judge approaches the middle of the stage, followed by two men.

Rackam: Hey, look! Spinnah is already up to fight.

Rackam: The other guy looks pretty tough. I wonder if Spinnah's gonna be okay.

Large Man: Gahahaha!

The judge gives the signal, and the two competitors begin spinning.

Referee: Ready? Fight!

As soon as the battle begins, Spinnah's opponent floats lightly into the air and charges at him.

Large Man: Gaaah!

Rackam: What the!

The man shoots into the sky like a bullet, but Spinnah deftly dodges the tackle by soaring high above.

Vyrn: Whoa! Did he just fly?

Spectator: What? You guys didn't know they could do that?

Vyrn: Wait a sec! What do you mean? They're floating!

Spectator: Right. That's the power of a spin blade. You see the blade in their hands moving at top speed?

Spinnah: ...

Vyrn: Wow...

Spectator: Wow indeed. The speed of the blade allows them to lift themselves up.

Spectator: Flying into the air and staying there is second nature to any spin blade user.

Katalina: Look! He threw his blade!

Large Man: Haaah!

The opponent throws his spin blade with a grand gesture.

Spinnah gracefully dodges the attack, and the spin blade slices through the air to form an arc.

The spin blade circles the arena like a boomerang and returns to whence it came.

Vyrn: Cool! This spin blade stuff is kinda awesome!

Rackam: Yeah! Spinnah is really something too. I doubt many people can dodge all those attacks like he does!

Rackam: It's like he's dancing through the air!

Katalina: Gasp! You may have spoken too soon. His opponent is preparing another attack!

Large Man: Gaaah!

The man clenches his fist and goes in for the kill. Spinnah barely manages to dodge the attack, and the man's fist meets the earth below.

Lyria: Ahh!

Vyrn: Come on! That was just crazy! How'd he pull that off?

Vyrn: I mean what the heck... How'd Fidget Fingers manage to jump like that?

Spectator: What? You still haven't noticed? The centrifugal force of the spin pumps the blood, causing its circulation to increase.

Spectator: This gives the body a momentary boost.

Spectator: Everybody knows at least that much...

Vyrn: What! Are you serious?

Spectator: Yup. Dead serious. But Spinnah is really something special.

Spectator: Look, he's readying his blade. Here it comes! Wait for it!

Spinnah places the spin blade in front of his body. And then it happens.

Vyrn: What now!

A calamitous wind begins to brew within the arena, and in the blink of an eye Spinnah's opponent is thrown like trash up against the wall.

Referee: K.O.! That ends the match! The winner is Spinnaaah!

Katalina: Is everyone all right?

Katalina: What just happened... Where did that draft come from?

Spectator: Come on now. Spinnah is a spin blade master. He can use the wind as he pleases.

Katalina: W-what! He controls the wind with that... toy?

Spectator: I hear he can even call a typhoon. He talks a lot about art, but he's one tough figher.

Vyrn: Cool! These spin blade people are amazing!

Spinnah continues breezing through the tournament unscathed and rises as the victor.

After the cup, (Captain) and crew race towards Spinnah.

Vyrn: You're super strong, dude! I didn't think a spinny cup thing would be interesting at all!

Spinnah: Scoff. Do you understand the beauty of a spin blade now?

Vyrn: Nah... Not really. Us noobs don't have a clue. But it was pretty cool when you used that thing as a weapon!

Spinnah: The spin blade is beauty and power in one. A blade that moves ungracefully through the air cannot be called art.

Katalina: My apologies, Spinnah. My words before were unjustified.

Katalina: I was under the false impression that your blade was a silly toy that only spins.

Spinnah: Apologies are unnecessary. As long as you will continue to use a spin blade, we have no qualms.

Event Organizer: Spinnah! So this is where you ran off to.

Spinnah: Why if it isn't the man in charge! Let me introduce you to my new friends. Everyone, meet the man behind the Spin Cup.

Spinnah: And what can I help you with today?

Event Organizer: It's about the Spin Cup... This will be the last time it's held.

Spinnah: What? What are you talking about?

Event Organizer: I'm sorry. Spin blades just aren't in anymore. They're a thing of the past.

Event Organizer: We've lost so many spectators. I don't see them coming back either. I know this is hard, but I've made my decision.

Spinnah: But... But the Spin Cup is what keeps spin-blading alive! I'm doing everything I can to keep it going!

Event Organizer: I... I'm sorry, Spinnah. Don't take this personally.

And with that the Spin Cup orchestrator takes his leave.

Spinnah: This can't be happening...

Vyrn: Aw... Come on... Cheer up...

Rackam: Yeah, you were amazing back there. You've got our vote of confidence.

Lyria: I agree! Don't you think so too, Katalina?

Katalina: Of course! You're truly gifted with a spin blade.

Spinnah: I'll bring it back...

Vyrn: What?

Spinnah: If this fad is over...

Spinnah: Then I'll just have to start a new one! I'll travel the skies and start a new trend!

Spinnah: Why didn't I think of this before? Why did I think that the beauty of a spin blade could be contained on this small island?

Spinnah: If I just show the world the beauty of my blade, then I can breathe new life into the spin blade community.

Spinnah: Hey, will you let me on your ship, (Captain)?

Vyrn: What?

Spinnah: I'll go wherever you go. I want every man, woman, and child to know the beauty of the spin blade!

1. Oh, they'll know!
2. I'll help!

Choose: Oh, they'll know!

Spinnah: Thank you. Your words give me strength.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: I'll help!

Spinnah: Thank you. You're a good friend. I'm sure your strength will help me develop new skills.

Continue 1

Spinnah: Good, it's settled! Give me a holler whenever you want to see my beauty in action as a token of my appreciation.

Vyrn: Yeah... I still don't know what you think is so beautiful about your spinning...

And so the performer called Spinnah joins the crew, and together they set sail for the skies.

Make Their Heads Spin

Spinnah is a performer who set out to make the spin blade popular again by showing the world his spin. But he is distraught, having not yet met anyone who realizes the allure of the spin blade. One day, (Captain) and the crew accept a mission to guard a collector of beautiful objects and make their way toward the client's mansion.

---

The spin blade is much more than simply a toy Rackam enjoyed playing with as a child.

To make sure every person throughout the skies understands the allure of the spin blade, Spinnah sets out on a mission to inform the masses.

Vyrn: Hey, Fidget Fingers. Can I ask a question?

Spinnah: About the beauty of a spin blade? But of course. First, there is the balance struck on the body of the—

Vyrn: Stop!

Vyrn: Geez. No one wants to hear about that. I wanna know how you start a typhoon.

Spinnah: Oh, that? It's simple. But who wants to hear about that boring old trick?

Vyrn: There's nothing boring about it! I bet you could get everyone pumped about spin blades if you showed them your typhoons!

Spinnah: Well, I guess you do have a point, but...

Vyrn: Hm?

Spinnah: I'm just scared I won't be able to bring the spin blade boom back.

Spinnah: We've been together for some time now, but I don't see any signs that my trend is picking up speed. I've gotta say... I'm worried.

Spinnah: I don't think I'm reaching people the way I need to.

Vyrn: Dude... Don't go getting all soft on me now. Where's the fire I usually see in your eyes?

Spinnah: Haha. I'm in my natural swing today, or haven't you noticed? Look at this work of art.

Spinnah puts the spin blade into motion on his finger and lets it move up to his elbow and shoulder.

Vyrn: Yeah! There's the real you!

While the crew is gathering provisions, a voice calls out to them from behind.

Sierokarte: Hello, everybody. Looks like I found you all at the right time.

Lyria: Hi, Siero. What are you up to today?

Sierokarte: Just shopping for a few things. The usual...

Sierokarte: Now then! I've got a job for you. What do you say?

Sierokarte: I need all of you to protect some artwork from being stolen.

Katalina: Hm? From thieves?

Sierokarte: That's right. There's been a band of thieves going around and taking all kinds of things as of late. But I think I know their next move.

Sierokarte: Up in the mountains lives a collector of beautiful objects. I think that's the next target.

Sierokarte: So the collector has asked me to hire guards.

Vyrn: Hmm... So that's where we come in.

Vyrn: It sounds like the collector would have a good eye for any kind of artwork, huh?

Sierokarte: Of course! This collector is known specifically for having an eye for only the most beautiful things.

Katalina: What do you say, (Captain)? Should we take this request?

Vyrn: Hey, (Captain)! You're in, right?

1. I'm in.
2. Someone's excited...

Choose: I'm in.

Vyrn: Yeah! Let's do this! Come on, (Captain). Time to move.

Vyrn: Let's get to the collector a-sap!

Lyria: Vyrn... You seem really excited.

Vyrn: This isn't about me... You just never know when a bad guy will show up! Right, (Captain)?

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Someone's excited...

Vyrn: It's just...

Vyrn: You know! A friend in need is a friend indeed, right?

Vyrn: Leave this to us, Siero! We'll take it from here.

Continue 1

Sierokarte: Thanks, you guys.

Sierokarte: The road leading to the mansion is full of monsters. Be careful.

Make Their Heads Spin: Scene 2

Vyrn had thought Spinnah would get along well with the collector since they were both fans of artwork, but his plan to cheer Spinnah up goes awry when their client turns out to be a jerk. Nevertheless, Spinnah appreciates the thought. Late that night, the thieves slip into the mansion to find (Captain) and the crew waiting for them.

---

By the time the crew arrives at the mansion, the sun has long past set.

Within the mansion are treasure troves of art.

The help leads the crew to the interior of the residence, and shortly afterward the master of the house makes his appearance.

Collector: What! These are my guards?

Lyria: Gasp!

Collector: Damn it! I wasn't expecting a circus act to be my guards for the night!

Collector: All of you look so weak. You wouldn't be the band of thieves by any chance, would you?

Vyrn: What'd you say!

Vyrn: Didn't your mom ever teach you any manners?

Collector: Oh, look... The circus's added a talking lizard to their act!

Vyrn: I'm no lizard!

Spinnah: ...

Collector: Look. That one over there is spinning something and didn't stop even when I made my appearance. No respect whatsoever!

Spinnah: My apologies...

Collector: Listen up. You buffoons must guard my treasures no matter the cost!

Collector: You think you can handle that? I won't be forgiving if you fail.

Katalina: Sigh... This is going to be more trouble than it's worth.

Vyrn: We don't got a choice anymore. It's pitch-black outside. If we try to leave we'll put ourselves in danger.

Lyria: I think so too. Monsters will be everywhere.

Although they have their reservations, the crew have no choice but to stay.

Vyrn: Sorry, Fidget Fingers...

Vyrn: I thought this art collector might be someone who'd spark your interest...

Spinnah: What? You took this request because of me?

Vyrn: Yeah... I thought maybe two people interested in the arts would hit it off, you know?

Spinnah: Hah... Such beauty...

Vyrn: Huh?

Spinnah: Your kindness is all I need. I don't think that collector and I will ever see eye to eye, but...

Spinnah: I felt something very beautiful within you just now, Vyrn.

Vyrn: Yeah... I'm not sure I know what you're talking about, but as long as you cheer up that's good enough for me!

Katalina: Everything here looks extremely expensive.

Katalina: Hmm... While that collector's personality may be second rate, none of these items are.

Spinnah: You think? Nothing here holds a candle to my spin blades though...

As nightfall comes the crew hides amongst the expensive objects. Then Spinnah senses a change in the winds.

Spinnah: They're here. They've arrived on a small boat.

Katalina: Really? That suits us well. I didn't expect they would arrive the same day as us.

Katalina: But how exactly do you know they're here?

Spinnah: My spin blade. When the thieves arrived, the blades moved ever so slightly due to the disturbance in the wind.

Spinnah: I can tell exactly how many people there are and what kind of boat they've come on based on the movements of the blades.

Vyrn: Say what? What can't you do with that thing?

Spinnah: This is beauty!

Vyrn: Yup... Still have no idea what you're saying...

Katalina: That's enough talk. Let's wait for our uninvited guests to arrive.

The thieves slip into the mansion, unaware of the horrors that await them.

Katalina: This is it. They've made their move.

Katalina: To arms!

Thief: Tch! Guards!

Make Their Heads Spin: Scene 3

The thieves make off with a piece of the collection, but Spinnah uses his spin blade to create a typhoon, cutting off their means of escape. Once the thieves have been captured, the collector recognizes the spin blade as a work of art, and he and Spinnah talk the night away together.

---

Thief: Crap! These kids aren't playing around!

The thieves find themselves overpowered by the crew. However...

Collector: Get them!

Katalina: What the—

Lyria: It's dangerous here! Please hide!

Collector: Shut your mouth! This is my mansion! Now get on with it! Capture them!

The thieves take this moment of reprieve to toss a round object against the floor.

Katalina: What is this smoke!

Thief: Let go of that, you old fart!

Collector: Tch! How dare you call me a fart! Do you know what I had to go through to get this?

The collector holds onto the thief's foot with all his strength.

Vyrn: This isn't pretty.

Thief: You think we're going home empty-handed? I'm taking this!

Collector: You will not defile my works of art!

Collector: Tch! Beautiful objects must be protected by those who understand their worth!

Spinnah: ...!

Thief: Shut it!

Collector: Ahh!

Lyria: Are you okay?

Vyrn: No! They stole the pot!

Katalina: After them! Quickly!

Spinnah: No. Don't take another step.

Katalina: What?

Before Katalina stands Spinnah, leisurely spinning his blade.

Katalina: If we don't stop them, then...

Vyrn: What are you doing! We gotta go after them!

Spinnah: No, we don't. Open the door and you'll see what I mean.

Katalina: Huh?

Katalina: What the!

Vyrn: What's going on! Where'd this storm come from? It was clear outside!

Spinnah: It's a typhoon. No small boat will be able to set sail in this weather.

Spinnah: They can't move very quickly either. If they drop that urn, their pillage will have been for nothing. I think I'll bring the typhoon a bit closer to the shore.

Vyrn: Spinnah! Did you cause that typhoon?

Spinnah: I'm not much interested in any of the things this collector cares for, but art is something I understand!

Spinnah: I can't only be interested in bringing back the lost art of the spin blade, I have to be willing to fight to protect the current stream of art as well.

Spinnah: All right. Now seems like a good time to get them.

Vyrn: Haha. Sure does!

The crew apprehends the stunned and confused thieves near the shore and returns to the mansion.

Katalina: Cough... Here is your urn.

Collector: Oh! Splendid.

Collector: I... must apologize for the way I was acting.

Collector: I'm sorry. I may have a knack when it comes to works of art, but I am a terrible judge of character.

Vyrn: Haha. You sure are! But as long as you're safe!

Collector: Thank you. And you there...

Spinnah: Hm? Me?

Collector: Yes. What was it you were spinning earlier? May I see it?

Spinnah: You may.

Collector: Hm... This is...

Spinnah: ...

Collector: So... It spins... What an elegant shape. This is truly a work of art!

Spinnah: !

Spinnah: You understand? You see the beauty in my spin blade?

Collector: But of course I do! It is balanced with precise accuracy, and there is not a single ounce of wasted effort to be had! It is complete perfection!

Spinnah: Yes! Yes, it is!

Collector: Hahaha. Look at it spin! This pleasant feeling on the tip of my finger is divine! It's like I'm laying my hands on fine china.

Spinnah: I can't believe you understand how I feel! This is exactly what calms me.

Collector: It is calming! Look at these perfect circles it forms. The patterns created with each spin are beyond comparison. They exist within moments!

Spinnah: That's exactly what I've been saying! These spins represent ethereality in all its glory!

Vyrn: Uh... How long is this going to go on for?

Lyria: Ahaha...

Katalina: Sigh... I think I've figured it out... To see that as art requires a very peculiar mind.

Spinnah and the collector continue their conversation long after the storm clears and into the next day's dawn.

Spinning Thoughts

Spinnah and Philosophia dive into a dizzying dialogue on the beauty of rotation. Spinnah closes out the chat by asking Philosophia to help him popularize spin blades, and the lofty Harvin is hard put to hide her interest.

---

Spinnah: Hm? What's that?

Spinnah strolls along the deck of the Grandcypher on a quiet afternoon. That's when he notices a strange top floating in the air above.

Philosophia: Hmm... Saying that an island floats is perfectly reasonable, but no one would say that an island flies.

Philosophia: Conversely, when someone spots a bird, they would say it's flying not floating.

Philosophia: Therefore floating and flying are different actions. One cannot fly while floating, and vice versa.

Philosophia rides on her top, its spin matching the flow of her thoughts.

Spinnah: Sorry for interrupting you, but what are you riding on? It's got such a beautiful spin!

Philosophia: This here's Crypton. It's a top that spins in conjunction with my thoughts and feelings.

Spinnah: How about that? A top that spins the more you think. That's not something you see every day!

Philosophia: Yes, it's quite the curio. Watch.
Should floating be considered a type of flying, or is it the other way around?

Spinnah: (Amazing. Its revolutions accelerate the moment her thoughts pick up!)

Spinnah's eyes are alight with wonder as Crypton goes round and round.

Philosophia: Eureka. Flying is...

Spinnah: ...

Philosophia: No, that's not right. Because floating is...

Spinnah: ...!

Philosophia: In order to understand flight, one must also understand buoyancy. However...

Spinnah: (How captivating. Despite how fast the top's going, the spindle remains stable, and the whir it makes is crystal clear!)

Spinnah: (Heh, my eyes implore me not to waste this moment—I hardly dare blink. I want to hear nothing but its hum—so much so that I resent even the pounding of my heart!)

Spinnah: Hahaha! Man, what an amazing spinsthetic! I've fallen under its hypnotic spell!

Philosophia: Huh? Spinsthetic?

Spinnah: That's right! Crypton's spinning motion is stunning! A level of perfection that is so rarely achieved!

Philosophia: Haha, I never expected to hear such compliments about the way Crypton spins. You're a funny fellow.

Spinnah's enthusiasm has piqued Philosophia's interest, and she slowly descends to the deck.

Philosophia: Allow me to ask you a question then. What is it that you find beautiful: Crypton or the motion of the spin?

Spinnah: I'm talking about the motion of course. Why do you think I used the word spinsthetic?

Philosophia: Ah, you sound confident about your answer.

Philosophia: But here's the thing. That beautiful spin was produced by Crypton; therefore isn't it Crypton that you find beautiful?

Spinnah: Sure, I never said Crypton wasn't beautiful! Nice colors, solid construction, good utility... Everything's great in and of itself.

Spinnah: But it's the spinning motion that ties together these disparate elements into one complete package.

Spinnah: Spinning has the power to refine fragments of beauty and make them, you know, perfect. Therefore spinning must be beauty itself!

Philosophia: Hmm... Then as a follow-up, why do you find things that spin beautiful?

Spinnah: Good question. Sure, as a humble artist I could tell you why I find it beautiful.

Spinnah: But all the words in the world couldn't explain the full breadth of beauty. That's what art's all about.

Philosophia: Um... Then what is your definition of beauty?

Spinnah: Beauty can be found in symmetry; it can also be found in irregularity. It has no singular shape; therefore it also has no precise definition.

Spinnah: But beauty clearly exists. Because when you feel your very soul being consumed by passion—that's when you know you're in the presence of beauty.

Philosophia: Huh. You don't seem fazed about anything I ask.

Realizing that Spinnah won't waver no matter what thought-provoking questions are thrown at him, Philosophia seems to lose interest and turns away.

Spinnah: Heh, your questions dig deep, don't they?

Spinnah: Seems like you really want to delve into the beauty of the spin. So I think I'll give you a present.

Spinnah slips a spin blade into Philosophia's hands.

Philosophia: What's this?

Spinnah: It's called a spin blade! As an artist, my aspiration is to spread their appeal to every island.

Spinnah: I'm hoping for the spin blade craze to catch fire and sweep across all corners of the sky.

Philosophia: Do you really think people are going to be enthralled by these little toys?

Spinnah: Hah, I'm pretty sure you're answering your own question right now.

Spinnah points to Philosophia's hand. Her fingers are eagerly manipulating the spin blade.

Philosophia: Huh? What am I doing? I didn't even notice my fingers were moving on their own...

Spinnah: Hahaha! How's that for enthrallment? It's like an uncontrollable impulse, am I right?

Philosophia: Erm, I wouldn't say that exactly. I just don't know how or when to stop, so I keep going and going...

Her words say no, but her fingers say yes, aching for one more flick of the spin blade.

The Harvin is disturbed by how quickly she's given in to the spin blade's temptations.

Philosophia: Ngh... Spin, spin, spin... Am I making it spin, or is its spin making me spin it?

Spinnah: That's pretty philosophical... I'd like to know the answer myself. Let's put our heads together for this one.

Spinnah takes out his own spin blade and gives it a whirl.

Only a duet of whooshes can be heard as the two stare at their hands in silent thought.

Philosophia: Mm... So to spin is to be caught in a loop of sorts. After one revolution, the spinner returns to its starting point, then that ending becomes a new beginning.

Spinnah: But, you know, spinning's also one of the easiest ways to accumulate energy. It's how you get storms and rotors—it's how we fly.

Philosophia: I see. So when one rotation ends, a new one begins. But this new rotation is more powerful than the last. Then is it safe to say that to spin is to evolve?

Spinnah: Hm. If that's true, you could claim that spinning represents the life cycle itself. You know, that may be why we instinctively get drawn in.

And so philosopher and artist muse over the magnificence of spinning. It may be a bit hard, however, for the average person to understand their enthusiasm.

Philosophia: Aha... What is spinning anyway?

Spinnah: Who knows exactly? The more I think about it, the more in awe I am of its depth.

Spinnah: (Wow, I've never met anyone who had such interesting things to say about the beauty of the spin.)

Spinnah: (She might be the one to help me achieve my aspirations...)

Spinnah stares at Philosophia, who continues to float in the air atop Crypton. Then, all at once, he comes to a conclusion.

Spinnah: So you remember what I was saying about my aspirations?

Philosophia: Huh? You mean how you want spin blades to become popular all across the skies?

Spinnah: Right. I'm just throwing this out there, but would you mind helping me make that dream come true?

Spinnah: You possess the very essence of spin. With the way you think and the way you ask pointed questions, you're a pro at opening people up to new perspectives.

Spinnah: If you could help me get the word out about how beautiful spinning is and how limitless its possibilities are... There's no doubt we'll brew up a storm!

Spinnah: Then once spin blades become the talk of the town, I'll show you how intense Spin Cup battles can be!

Philosophia: Hm... A spin blade craze, huh?

Philosophia: Hehe. Well, I suppose it'll bring people together and encourage discussion. Some interesting opinions about spinning are bound to arise, I'm sure.

Spinnah: Hehe. I know, right? So teaming up is the right move! What do you say?

Philosophia: Hm, hm... A craze that spins out of control... Getting bigger and more popular...

Philosophia turns her back on the starry-eyed Spinnah. Then she resumes her thinking ways.

Once again Crypton picks up speed, but if it's a spinning match it wants, then the spin blade whirling in Philosophia's hand is not to be underestimated.
