For Premium Friday

When reviewing footage of a movie the crew helped Friday film, they point out all the background noise resulting from production troubles during filming. However, Friday doesn't mind in the least and reminisces on the day of the shoot.



Lyria: ...
Lyria: It's over... Friday...
Friday: Heh! What do you think? My Premium Friday movie, Defend Your Premium Life!, is the greatest thing since fried prawn, isn't it?
Lyria: Definitely... There was so much action, and it was so unique that I felt like I was transported to a different world...
Lyria looks down at the fried prawn-shaped goggles she had just removed and sighs.
Vyrn: SHRIMP goggles, you call it? When I put the thing on, I can see people movin' around and talkin'...
Vyrn: It's not some sorta illusion, is it? How does the tech work, Miss SHRIMP?
Friday: Think of it as an illustrated flip-book! By mounting my wisestones on FRIED SHRIMP...
Friday: It's able to record the scenery for an extended period of time! As for the audio tech, that gets a bit complex, so I'll explain it to you next time!
Vyrn: Nah, that's all right...
Vyrn: What you've got here is seriously outta this world though. Makes me wonder if it isn't a waste to use it just for Premium Friday...
Friday: I know what you mean. That's why I'll also be using it to stream videos about improving quality of life, among other things!
Vyrn: Well... It's your tech after all, so you're free to do what you want with it.
(Captain) and company return the SHRIMP goggles they borrowed from Friday.
Friday: Thank you for attending the test screening! You've helped me make something truly remarkable!
Lyria: Not at all! We had a lot of fun helping you film it all!
Lyria: But why did you think to make a... "Premium Friday anniversary movie," I think you called it... in the first place?
Friday: Things have been going really smoothly at Alohas, so I thought I'd try my hand at a new line of business.
Friday: That's when fans of Premium Friday reached out and suggested I make something related to the special day.
Friday: That's when I thought of this moving picture with audio technology. I like to call these productions movies, with me at the seat of both director and scriptwriter!
Vyrn: The script is one thing, but...
Vyrn: Consider all the trouble that happened at the shoot. You could even hear the staff talkin' in the background. That sorta thing really okay?
Friday: Sure, why not! It reminds the viewer of how much effort it takes to film a movie!
Friday: Because of what's available to us, we're limited to one-shot movies with no cuts... The tension that creates really allows our creativity to shine through.
Friday: Getting a glimpse of all the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into making such a production should be considered a bonus!
An enamored Friday runs her fingers through her hair and begins a monologue.
Shortly before the shoot begins, actors and staff alike mill to and fro around the bustling town the film is set in.
Friday: How are preparations going, everyone? Let me know if any problems come up!
Director: Check this out, Friday! I made this just for the shoot!
The director whips out a FRIED SHRIMP that gives off a golden shine.
Friday: How lovely! You have the details down pat, and the shimmer makes it absolutely divine!
Director: You can say that again! My little brother's a blacksmith, and he considers this to be his masterpiece.
Director: He took the base Premium Sword that you made and coated it with a gold brick.
He loosens the fastener on the stand to pull out the golden FRIED SHRIMP.
Director: It ended up being a bit too heavy to lug around, so I made a stand to use the sword as a fancy set piece.
Friday: Simply marvelous! It's more hi-tech than my Everlasting Premium Friday statue!
Director: My brother would be proud to hear such words.
Director: He's got a sense for these things, unlike me... But enough about that—I don't wanna be a downer.
Director: Anyhow, what do you say we show off this FRIED SHRIMP during the opening announcement?
Friday: Great idea! Let's do that!
Boy with Dog: Hello, Friday! Good evening!
Friday: Good evening to you too! Thank you for signing up with your mother to be extras!
Friday: What an adorable doggy! Is this the child you said you wanted to bring along?
Boy's Mother: Mm-hm. He can be a bit unruly, but I'll make sure he doesn't cause you any trouble.
APF Leader: Friday, so glad to finally meet you!
APF Leader: I've been waiting for this. I look forward to killin' it as the APF leader!
Friday: Thanks for doing this! And I'm sorry you have to play the villain.
APF Leader: No worries! I like playing the bad guy, and I absolutely adore the script!
APF Leader: I could barely hold onto my seat at that part where societal ills come out of the APF leader's body!
Friday: Happy to hear it! That's one of my favorite scenes too!
Friday: People who do bad things aren't necessarily bad themselves... It's likely they're simply possessed by societal ills.
Friday: That's why you should hate the society that allows unfairness to go on, rather than the people that perpetrate it... At least that's the message I want to convey through the scene!
APF Leader: Interesting! Definitely food for thought!
APF Leader: Then I'll just have to up the ante as the villain who's had my life ruined by societal ills! "Every one of you happy fools can drown in darkness!" How's that sound?
Friday: Heh, sounds good to me! Don't hold back either; I'll be your enemy, so come at me with you all you've got!
  1. Good evening.


Choose: Good evening.

Friday: Oh, didn't realize you were here too, (Captain)! How's FRIED SHRIMP doing?
FRIED SHRIMP: Fry!
The FRIED SHRIMP riding on (Captain)'s shoulder happily wags its tail.
Lyria: I can't be sure, but um... FRIED SHRIMP seems to be in a great mood.
Friday: I knew (Captain) could be trusted with my trusty companion... I'm glad I asked you guys!
Lyria: So I just have to push the tail back, and everything seen from the lens on FRIED SHRIMP's stomach is recorded onto the sheet inside?
Lyria: I can't even begin to imagine what it takes to make something like this...
Friday: Excited? Good. Just wait till you see what we're going to make with it today!
The delighted FRIED SHRIMP on (Captain)'s shoulder rubs against the captain's cheek.
Friday: During filming, the mass-produced replicas will serve as my companions...
Friday: But worry not! You will always be my number one, FRIED SHRIMP; there's no need to be jealous!
FRIED SHRIMP: Frryy!
Vyrn: Heyo! I brought the weight you asked for. Where do ya want it?
Director: Whoa! Watch out for the equipment behind you!
Vyrn: Whoops... My bad.
Director: That's the machine for turning Friday into Ultimate Friday. It's sensitive stuff.
Director: Especially the cables which connect to the FRIED SHRIMP suit that Friday made.
Director: They break easy if you pull or stomp on them too hard, so watch out.
Vyrn: Gotcha. Guess we should watch ourselves during the shoot too, (Captain)!
Director: It's about to start... Into your positions, everyone!
Friday: This is going to be one long cut, so be ready for anything!
Friday motions for everyone to be on the alert as she runs toward the center of town.

For Premium Friday: Scene 2

Friday tosses her FRIED Spear in a fit of rage over equipment failure. The actors are forced to ad-lib the remainder of the performance while the backstage staff come up with impromptu solutions to technical troubles.



Director: Ready...
Director: Action!
(Captain) pushes back FRIED SHRIMP'S tail and begins filming.
Things proceed according to the script without a hitch, until the school of BAKED BREAMs come onto the scene.
APF Leader: Close, but no cigar. The proper term is "Based Aim of Keeping Elongated Drudgery, Binding Recruited Employees to Absolute Monotony," or BAKED BREAM for short.
Director: Let's move the FRIED SHRIMP suit, just like we did during rehearsal.
Pero: Woof?
Boy with Dog: Ah... Pero, no!
Pero: Woof! Woof, woof!
Vyrn: What's the dog barkin' for?
Director: The BAKED BREAMs must've surprised it. I just hope we don't hear any of that barking in the completed movie...
Friday: How awful... All I ever wanted was for everyone to lead a more enriching life!
Friday: Why... Why must you get in my way!
Director: Now! Activate the suit!
The staff press a button on the apparatus, causing the suit by Friday's feet to rise up.
It takes but an instant to complete her transformation into Ultimate Friday.
Director: That went well. Now for the fire on the BAKED BREAMs!
The staff take care to perfectly time their button press with the swing of Friday's flame-shooting spear, incinerating the fish.
Director: Nice! Move on to the societal ills!
APF Leader: Urk! Our entire school of BAKED BREAMs is done for!
Ultimate Friday: I have you cornered! Prepare yourselves!
Woof! Woof, woof!
Lyria: Oh no! The doggy is running in this direction!
Boy with Dog: Wait, Pero! Stay away from there!
Pero: Woof, woof, woof!
It happens all too fast. The panicked dog slips on an electrical cord, causing it to disconnect from the equipment.
Then the boy chasing after the dog inadvertently steps over and crushes the delicate connector prongs of the cord.
Friday: Huh?
APF Leader: Ah, the dog...
Dog: Woof, woof, woof!
Boy with Dog: Phew, finally caught up!
Vyrn: Oh crud! How's Miss Shrimp gonna turn into Ultimate Friday without that cord!
Director: We can't use that anymore. Hey, lizard, get me another cord from the box over there!
Vyrn: I ain't no lizard, but I'll get you that cord anyway!
Boy with Dog: I'm sorry... I didn't think BAKED BREAMs could surprise Pero so badly...
Director: No use crying over spilled milk. Things are getting heated here, so you'd best head to the rest area with your dog.
Boy with Dog: Okay...
Lyria: Ah! You dropped something! Hey!
Director: Sorry, but can you leave that for later? We're in the middle of filming.
Friday's mind is awash with ideas on how to ad-lib her way through this situation.
Friday: (A bit of technical trouble, eh... I'll just have to think of something until I can use my suit again...)
Friday: ...!
My transformation has come undone! What did you do?
APF Leader: Wh-what the... Um...
APF Leader: (Oh, I get it, Friday! So we're ab-libbing it now, huh? Good thing I practiced on my own just in case something like this happened!)
APF Leader: Hehehe... Ahahahah!
APF Leader: So slow of you to realize that the golden star which turned you into Ultimate Friday has vanished!
Director: I don't recall that from the script, but...
Can someone shut off that light?
APF Warrior 1: Heard you had trouble here. We're here to lend a hand!
Director: Thanks! Turn off light seven.
Friday: Oh no! How could this be!
APF Leader: Gwrhg... Gwaaaah!
Director: That's the line for when the societal ills possessing the APF leader manifest!
Director: Bring out the societal ills!
Along with a cloud of dark smoke, a kite representing societal ills is flown over the APF leader.
Societal Ills: ...!
Lyria: Wow, they're really good at improvisation...
Director: We had to stray from the script, but this buys us some time...
APF Leader: I've just about had it up to here with you slackers who go off enjoying the night scenery while I'm still working my butt off!
APF Leader: Why do you get to enjoy yourselves when we're still suffering? I couldn't accept that, so I decided to wreck everything!
APF Leader: Farewell, Friday! And farewell to a certain tradition that just so happens to have your name in it!
APF Warrior 2: Damn, she's got some crazy acting skills... I thought this was real for a second!
Friday: Augh!
Friday: Kyah!
Friday: Ungh!
Friday: Eep!
Friday: Agk!
Lyria: Um... Are we going to keep this up until the new cord arrives?
APF Warrior 2: No one wants to see Friday get hurt like this... Maybe we should just reshoot the whole scene—
Friday: Huff... Huff... You can't stop me...
APF Warrior 2: F-Friday?
Friday glares at the FRIED SHRIMP lens being held up by (Captain) as she utters those words.
Friday: I've put too much on the line for it all to just end like this!
Friday: We're gonna keep things going no matter what! Got that?
Friday: Aaaaahh!
APF Warrior 2: Friday...
APF Warrior 1: Stay strong, guys! We've gotta follow Friday's example!
Director: Keep shooting! No matter what happens!
APF Warriors: Got it!
APF Leader: Gyahahaha! I could keep going! I love seeing your face curl up in pain!
APF Leader: I command you, societal ills! Plunge her into the depths of utter despair!
Friday: Huh?
APF Leader: Then I'll just have to up the ante as the villain who's had my life ruined by societal ills! "Every one of you happy fools can drown in darkness!" How's that sound?
Friday: Hold it right there! So that's what you meant by "every one of you happy fools can drown in darkness"?
Director: Friday seems none too pleased...
Friday: Problem is, I don't remember writing your character to be like that! The general populace is supposed to empathize with your plight of having been chewed out and discarded by society!
Friday: Yet you've gone and taken control of societal ills yourself to make others suffer! I ought to hand you over to the Skydom Bureau of Investigation myself!
APF Leader: For starters, Friday... Would you stop pointing your FRIED Spear's flames in my direction? Ouch!
APF Leader: (Crap, I misread her! What do I do... She's mad for real!)
Vyrn: I got your replacement cord! Whoa, what's happenin' now?
Friday: The societal ills themselves are the true enemy, not any particular individual or group! That's precisely why lives have been saved by the spread of Premium Friday!
Friday: But the idea of societal ills being under someone's control? Here's what I think about that!
Lyria: Eep! Friday tossed her FRIED Spear somewhere...
Director: She was supposed to land the finishing blow on the APF leader with that thing...
Director: That secret weapon is the only thing that'll save us now! (Captain), you're in charge here till I get back!
Vyrn: Huh? Where'd he run off to!
APF Warrior 1: The cord's reconnected! We can turn her back into Ultimate Friday anytime!
Lyria: Wouldn't it be strange if she transformed out of the blue though? Hm...
Lyria opens up her hand to reveal the miniature FRIED SHRIMP dropped by the boy earlier.
APF Warrior 1: A pocket FRIED SHRIMP... That's right!
APF Warrior 1: Can you ask for everyone to hold up their miniature FRIED SHRIMPs in support of Friday?
Lyria: Huh? You want me to say that?
APF Warrior 1: We already have our parts as the enemy! It makes more sense for you to say the words!
  1. Please, Lyria!


Choose: Please, Lyria!

Lyria: Mmmrg! Okay, here goes!
Lyria: Now, everyone! Hold up your pocket FRIED SHRIMPs to show Friday your support!
Boy's Mother: (Pocket FRIED SHRIMPs... Oh, I see!)
All performers on set take a miniature FRIED SHRIMP out of their pockets and raise them up high.
Vyrn: Whoa, everybody's got one... Guess that's part of why the casting call went out to bona fide Premium Friday enthusiasts.
  1. Activate the suit!


Choose: Activate the suit!

As the fill-in for the director, (Captain) gives the order.
Ultimate Friday: Thank you, everyone! It's time for my counterattack!
Vyrn: That turned out all right. Now the problem is takin' out the APF leader without her spear...
Vyrn: Wha?
Director: Friday, use this!
Ultimate Friday: Who are you?
Director: A legendary blacksmith who just happened to be passing by.
Vyrn: Are you guys for real!
Director: This Golden Premium Sword can be pulled from the stand only by the chosen one.
Director: Please! Use this sword to fight evil!
Standing before the resplendent FRIED SHRIMP, Friday and the director give each other a knowing look.
In this moment of utter desperation, a brief glance is all it takes for the two to understand each other.
Friday: (You sure about this? I might end up putting more than a dent in your little brother's masterpiece.)
Director: (Heheh, believe me when I say it's a lot sturdier than that! Besides, he can always forge another one!)
Friday: (Good to know... Perhaps I was the one who lacked resolve...)
Ultimate Friday: Seeing as I already have your ringing endorsement, I suppose it's worth a try.
Friday musters all her strength to pull the glistering FRIED SHRIMP out of the stand.
Ultimate Friday: Hraaah!
Ultimate Friday: (Th-this is heavy...)
APF Warrior 1: Psst, I'm pretty sure we're not onscreen from this angle. We'll help you get it out, Friday!
APF Warrior 2: On three! One... two... three!
Ultimate Friday: I did it!
APF Leader: (Holy crap! I'm a total goner if she whacks me with that!)
Ultimate Friday: It's time to finally end this! Preemiiuuuum!
Ultimate Friday: Friiidaaaaay!
APF Leader: Eeeeek!
Vyrn: This way, Miss APF! Get behind that crate under the cover of smoke!
Ultimate Friday: Pant... Wheeze...
PF Warrior 1: We've done it! The APF leader has been bested! Victory is ours!
Ultimate Friday: W-wait... Evil still lingers...
Ultimate Friday: Because there is always room for error in the hearts of mankind, societal ills will never disappear entirely... Cough... Ahem...
Ultimate Friday: Which is why we must continue to practice the tradition of Premium Friday! So that such darkness will have no room to resurface!
Director's Voice: Cuuut!

For Premium Friday: Scene 3

Friday sees off the crew and does some maintenance on FRIED SHRIMP before turning in for the night. The moment she falls asleep though, FRIED SHRIMP scuttles over and transforms with Friday into what was supposed to be a purely fictional Ultimate Friday, then soars off with her to—presumably—a galaxy far, far away...



Friday: Phew! No matter how many times I replay that day in my head, I'm in awe at how good our teamwork was!
Friday's expression is one of pure bliss as she continues on.
Vyrn: Which reminds me, Miss APF was really down in the dumps about makin' ya angry...
Friday: Heh, that's not a problem! We had a good talk after that.
APF Leader: I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I took things too far!
APF Leader: Societal ills are to blame for everything, not people! Societal ills are to blame for everything, not people! Thank you for showing me the way, Friday!
Friday: I think she learned her lesson!
Lyria: I'm glad you were able to make up.
Friday: Oh, look at the time! I wouldn't want to hold you guys up.
Friday: Thanks for coming today! Once I get my SHRIMP goggles mass-produced, I'll bring some over during my next visit!
Friday sees the crew off as they leave her house and head back to the Grandcypher.
That night, Friday performs maintenance on FRIED SHRIMP in her workroom.
Friday: That should do it for the unit used in the shoot. Now to just replace the damaged parts...
Friday: Hehe, doing maintenance on you is practically a part of my daily routine now.
FRIED SHRIMP: Fry!
Friday: You remember the day we first met, FRIED SHRIMP?
Friday: Tired of the societal ills rampant throughout the world, I had gone on a journey of self-discovery and came across abandoned ruins one day.
Friday: With a lantern in one hand, I carefully made my way through the greatly deteriorated underground passage, which eventually led to a grand hall...
Friday: That's when I saw you, a giant, floating fried prawn emitting steam. I was beyond moved...
Friday: What a delicious-looking fried prawn! Mnng, I can't help myself!
Friday: Time to dig in!
FRIED SHRIMP: Frrry! Sizzleeee!
Friday: Uh-guh-guh!
Friday: Surprised that I had bitten into you, you bathed me in your fragrant oil.
Friday: It was a eureka moment for me. I finally understood what it felt like to be deep-fried.
FRIED SHRIMP: Fry!
While reminiscing on fond memories, Friday continues exchanging the parts with practiced hands, pouring oil as needed.
Friday: You woke me up from the banality of everyday life.
Friday: There's no reason some mysterious machine slumbering in ancient ruins can't look identical to fried prawn.
Friday: Just like you were true to your nature, I'm being to true to myself too!
FRIED SHRIMP: Fry!
Friday: Heh, from spreading Premium Friday to running Alohas, to writing, directing, and starring in an anniversary movie...
Friday: Our possibilities are endless. I hope we can continue to enrich people's lives together through the most unexpected ways possible!
FRIED SHRIMP: Frry!
Friday: Haha... Well then!
Friday packs her tools away and shuts the toolbox.
Friday: That's it for maintenance. I should get some sleep. Good night, FRIED SHRIMP!
FRIED SHRIMP: Frry!
She slips onto the bed in the workroom and peacefully snores away.
FRIED SHRIMP watches over her from the workstand.
FRIED SHRIMP: Fry... Frryyy...
(Our potential is infinite...)
It moves closer to Friday in an ominous manner.
Arms protrude from the cracks in its batter and wrap around Friday.
FRIED SHRIMP: Fry... Frryyy...
(To reach our true potential...)
FRIED SHRIMP: Frrrrryyyyy!
(We must become closer...)
Friday: FRIED SHRIMP... You're the best...
After incorporating the sleeping Friday into its own body, it undergoes a transformation.
Ultimate Friday, which was supposed to be nothing more than a fictional character, now stands there in all its authenticity.
FRIED SHRIMP: Frryyy! (Let us go, Friday! We have so much to do together!)
Having incorporated Friday into itself, FRIED SHRIMP bolts upward, soaring through the roof and into the unknown.
