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?

Mistah Spinnah

Spinnah saves a merchant from a monster by using his spin blades. Inspired, the merchant offers to help make spin blades popular again, which is an offer Spinnah accepts. After some time apart from Spinnah, (Captain) and crew run into a child who says that a man named Mistah Spinnah has been doing trick shows and making spin blades extremely popular.

---

You there! Yes, you! Have you heard of spin blades?

At one point in time, they were the hottest toys in all the skies. But now they're a forgotten piece of history!

However, one man still keeps spin blades near and dear to his heart!

Man: S-somebody help meee!

Monster: Grooar!

Spinnah: Duck!

Man: Huh?

Spinnah: Take this!

Monster: Roaaar!

Flinching from the sudden attack, the frightened monsters scurry away and disappear into the forest.

Lyria: Looks like we made it just in time! Are you okay?

Man: Y-you saved me! Who... Who are you people?

Spinnah: The name's Spinnah! Glad to see you're not hurt.

Spinnah: What's a guy like you doing in this forest alone? You should know there are monsters here.

Man: Right, I should've been more careful... I just got so absorbed in trying to figure out my next big product that I wandered this far without realizing.

Introducing themselves as well, (Captain) and friends explain that they are a crew out hunting monsters for a request.

Vyrn: Your next big product, huh... Does that mean you're a merchant? What kinda thing were you looking for all the way out here?

Man: Er, I wasn't searching for something specific. I was mulling over an idea...

Man: I was trying to predict what the next big hit on the market will be. Next thing I knew, I was being saved by you folks.

Lyria: Next big hit?

Man: Well, you see, I'm a merchant that deals in...

Man: ...!

Spinnah: Something the matter?

Man: Wh-what's that you're holding?

Spinnah: Spin blades, of course! The peak of artistry, capable of gracing us with spectacular revolutions!

Man: Spin blades? I could've sworn those things were popular ages ago.

Man: Hold on... So when you saved me by chasing those monsters away...

Spinnah: You misunderstand. It wasn't I who saved you. The spin blades' rotations were your salvation.

Man: You really used them for combat? And it worked?

Spinnah: Heh. If it didn't, you wouldn't be here right now.

Spinnah: They're even capable of stuff like this.

With rotating spin blades in his hands, Spinnah rises into the air and begins to float.

Man: What in the skies... No one ever told me these kinds of tricks were possible!

Vyrn: I'm, uh, pretty sure Fidget Fingers here is the only guy capable of doing it...

Spinnah: Down we go...

Spinnah: I'm a spin blader whose mission is to spread the beauty and excitement of spin blades throughout the skies.

Spinnah: I'd be happy to teach you more about them if you're interested.

Man: Amazing...

Lyria: Huh?

Man: This is it! This is the product I've been looking for!

Man: You see, I'm a merchant that sells toys! Today must be a sign that...

Merchant: The next big thing will be spin blades! It's time for them to make a comeback! Won't you work with me to make it happen?

Spinnah: Now that's sudden. I'm not opposed to the idea, but what exactly makes you think you're qualified for the task?

Merchant: I can provide tons of outlets to sell in! And get the perfect production line going too!

Spinnah: I'm in!

Vyrn: Just like that?

Spinnah: (Captain), sorry! I'll be here for a while getting this new business venture started!

Lyria: Th-this is all so sudden... Are you sure you want to do it?

Spinnah: Yes! More than that, I have to! This is my calling!

Vyrn: Really just gonna dive right into it, huh...

His mind made up, Spinnah remains on the island to focus on developing new spin blades with the merchant.

Before the crew even realize it, fifty days have passed since the last time they've seen Spinnah.

Vyrn: Phew... That's another request down, smooth as can be.

Lyria: ...

Vyrn: I'm kinda cravin' apples. You think they're selling any nearby?

Neither (Captain) nor Lyria answer, remaining oddly quiet.

Vyrn: Uh... Something wrong, you guys?

Vyrn follows his friends' gazes to find them staring at a child.

More specifically, he sees they are staring at the toy in her hand.

Village Girl: ...!

Vyrn: Th-that's...

Lyria: Excuse me, can we ask you something?

Village Girl: Hm? What's up?

Vyrn: What's that you're spinning in your hands?

Village Girl: You mean you don't know? It's a spin blade!

Vyrn: (Just like I thought...)

The girl proudly shows off her whirling toy.

Lyria: Umm... Do you like spin blades?

Village Girl: Yeah! They're super popular right now!

Vyrn: Haha... Now that's a funny joke.

Village Girl: I'm not joking! Mistah Spinnah's tricks are so awesome, everyone wants to be like him!

Lyria: Mistah...

Vyrn: Spinnah? Wait, what?

The familiar name shocks the crew.

But the unfamiliar title brings an equal measure of confusion.

Back to top

Beyond the Boom

The crew catches Spinnah performing impressive tricks onstage, much to the delight of his audience. Afterward, the merchant and his sponsor show up to show Spinnah their latest product—a light-up spin blade. However, Spinnah believes the lighting mechanisms interfere with the rotations of the blade, prompting him to demand the design be redone. The sponsor refuses and instead insists that Spinnah uses them for his next show.

---

In case you forgot, here's a summary of the previous events!

After a chance encounter, Spinnah teams up with a toy merchant to produce new spin blades.

He remains on the island after a tearful parting with his captain...

Countless days pass with no news of the man, until (Captain) and crew meet a girl playing with a spin blade. She tells them of Mistah Spinnah, a local spin blade legend!

Vyrn: You've gotta be kidding me...

Tracking down where Spinnah might be, the crew run into an astonishing sight.

Crowd: ...!

A large, excited crowd gathers in front of an outdoor stage.

Lyria: Are all these people really here for a spin blade show?

Vyrn: Maybe we got our info mixed up? This can't be right...

Before they can ask around, the show begins.

Fireworks go off as smoke fills the stage. Soon enough, a figure struts into view.

Spinnah: It's... showtime!

Lyria: Oh! Look, it's Spinnah!

Lyria: That... is Spinnah, right?

Vyrn: Has to be... I can't think of anyone else that would pull something like this.

Child 1: Mistah Spinnah!

Child 2: Show us your Spin the Spin trick!

Spinnah: Ask, and you'll receive!

Spinnah tosses the spin blades in his hands, catching them when they fly back like boomerangs. He then repeats the motion many times without breaking a sweat.

Child 1: Wow!

Child 2: He's so cool!

Spinnah unveils trick after trick, as the audience eats everything up with cheers and applause.

Vyrn: All these kids are holding their own spin blades...

Lyria: Even the adults too... Spin blades really are popular right now...

Spinnah: Hey, everyone! I didn't expect to see you here!

Lyria: Hi, Spinnah! It's been a while!

Vyrn: Sheesh... Trying to get around backstage was a nightmare...

Lyria: Ahaha... Lucky for us, we managed to run into that merchant from before.

Spinnah: Well, what did you think? You saw the show, right? Wasn't it exhilarating?

Vyrn: Yeah, we were watching. What's going on? Don't tell me spin blades are actually in again.

Spinnah: The explanation is quite simple!

Spinnah: The magic of my newly developed spin blades combined with my magnificent tricks have made them extremely popular with children!

Lyria: That's awesome to hear!

Vyrn: Honestly I'm having a hard time believin' it...

Spinnah: We still haven't hit the popularity levels of the first spin blade wave.

Spinnah: But I'm working on making this second wave even greater than the first.

Spinnah: It won't be long now!

Vyrn: Guess there's no telling what the future holds...

Merchant: Spinnah, our newest sample's finished!

The merchant comes walking up with a strange new spin blade in hand.

Merchant: Watch this.

Merchant: It lights up when it spins! Amazing, isn't it?

Vyrn: Whoa! You aren't kidding!

The edges of the prototype light up, forming circles of red, blue, and yellow as it spins in the merchant's grasp.

Lyria: Wow, it's so pretty!

Vyrn: (I kinda want one now...)

Spinnah: No, this won't do. We can't sell this.

Merchant: What? B-but why...

Spinnah borrows the spin blade for a moment, then shakes his head.

Spinnah: Its rotations don't spark joy. The lighting mechanisms are throwing off its center of gravity.

Spinnah: Spin blades are works of art. Take away their beauty, and you're left with nothing but a toy.

Merchant: Er... Aren't they toys in the first place? Otherwise, why would a toy merchant like me stock them...

Vyrn: (This guy gets it.)

Spinnah: Wrong! Spin blades can serve as toys, but that's only one of their functions!

Merchant: Regardless, we'll be in trouble if you don't use these for your next performance and impress the audience!

Merchant: Our sponsor helped me make these, and they have to sell!

Sponsor: Is something the matter with our new product?

Merchant: Ah! If it isn't our sponsor himself... No, there's no problem. We just, um...

Spinnah: This blade is defective at best. You should scrap the entire design and start over.

Sponsor: My, my! There's no need to be so unreasonable. Besides, it's far too late to walk back our production.

Spinnah: Don't you see how it struggles to rotate? How can you even call this a spin blade, when it fails to live up to the beauty of its name?

Sponsor: Flick it hard enough, and it still spins, doesn't it? You're an adult. You should know that art has no place in the business world.

Sponsor: Your only concern should be using our new product and performing your fancy tricks on stage.

Spinnah: ...

Sponsor: Popularity is grown through inciting demand, which is your job.

Sponsor: Keep our customers coming, and spin blades will be the hottest thing in all the skies.

The man arrogantly huffs and struts away, walking toward a group of men nearby.

Spinnah: I've never seen those people before. Shouldn't this area be for staff and related parties only?

Merchant: What does it matter? We have more important things to discuss!

Merchant: I know you're upset, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made for progress! You want this spin blade boom to get even bigger, don't you?

Merchant: Please! Won't you agree to do this?

Spinnah: This is definitely a problem...

Vyrn: Hmm... I'm not sure I like that sponsor guy of yours.

Lyria: Are you going to be okay, Spinnah?

Spinnah: Haha, of course. It's nothing I can't handle.

Spinnah: Talking to him has helped me realize that I have to rethink my approach...

Beyond the Boom: Scene 2

(Captain) and crew learn that the sponsor and his accomplices are buying up all the spin blade stock and reselling it, artificially increasing prices. Spinnah, to everyone else's surprise, doesn't step in to punish them. Instead, he gets ready for his next show, excitedly interacting with the kids waiting in line.

---

The day of the new spin blade's unveiling arrives. (Captain) and friends join Spinnah in his dressing room before the performance is set to begin.

Vyrn: The seats were kinda empty when we took a peek, but the merchant guy says it should be a full house later.

Lyria: We've still got some time before the show starts. But, Spinnah...

Wearing a frustrated frown, Spinnah flicks the spin blade in his hand.

Spinnah: This blade really doesn't spin right... But the lights do a good job of making it stand out.

Vyrn: Honestly? I kinda want one... It's working on me...

Vyrn: Doesn't help that the whole town's playing with spin blades everywhere you look...

Lyria: A-actually, I kinda want one too, haha...

1. Me three...
2. I think I'm good.

Choose: Me three...

Vyrn: You're in the same camp, huh?

Spinnah: I see... Sorry, I don't have extras on me though.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: I think I'm good.

Spinnah: Hah! Oh, (Captain), there's no need to hide how you truly feel.

Spinnah: But I'm sorry. I don't have any extras on me.

Continue 1

Vyrn: No way... You really don't have a single one?

Spinnah: Not a one. We sell out every time we have any in stock.

Spinnah: It doesn't help that resellers are also buying up everything they can.

Spinnah: With a shortage going, prices are climbing higher and higher. I wish we could do something about it.

Vyrn: That does sound like a problem...

Spinnah: On top of that, there are some strange characters involved in our business lately.

Lyria: Strange? How so?

Spinnah: Hold on. I can hear something coming from the next room over.

Lyria: What? I don't hear anything...

Spinnah: The rotations of my blade drew out the noise.

Spinnah: Let's see what happens if I amp up the volume.

Vyrn: You're gonna... do what now?

Spinnah attaches his spinning blade to the wall. As soon as he does, someone's voice fills the room.

Crook: Hahahaha! We are raking it in!

Lyria: Wh-whoa! Who was that?

Spinnah: Let me explain! The gyration of the spinning blade is amplifying the vibrations from the other room, allowing us to hear what's going on through the wall!

Vyrn: What's this guy gonna come up with next...

Sponsor: It's simply terrible that all your reselling means prices won't be dropping for a while!

Reseller: Heheheh! Doesn't matter how high it goes, we'll have the market cornered!

Crook: Hahaha! As long as goods are scarce on the regular market, prices can stay high!

Reseller: People are desperate enough to buy at our jacked-up prices too!

Crook: Everybody wins! Now that's what I call cooperation! Ain't that right, sir?

Sponsor: Exactly! Low supplies and high demand is how you keep your products in the limelight!

Spinnah: So they're purposely making sure stock is low and prices stay high... That way demand will be sky-high.

Vyrn: D-does that actually work?

Spinnah: People covet rare items. At the same time, they want what everyone else has.

Lyria: I don't really get it...

Spinnah: Right now, spin blades are popular enough that everyone has at least one. When a new spin blade comes out, people want it because it's both new and a rarity, at least in the beginning.

Spinnah: If the resellers buy everything and control how much is sold on the market, then no one will complain when the original seller increases their prices. They'll be too desperate to get their hands on the product.

Spinnah: It's a strategy that works so well... even you three wanted your own spin blades.

Vyrn: Can't really argue with you there...

Vyrn: S-still! We can't just let them get away with such scummy tactics!

Vyrn: We gotta give 'em a talking-to!

Spinnah: Where do you think you're going?

A sudden gust sweeps the room, returning Vyrn to his original position.

Vyrn: Wh-what the heck?

Spinnah: Sorry, but you need to let it go for now. I've got an important performance coming up.

Vyrn: Seriously? You're gonna turn a blind eye to all this awful stuff just to make spin blades more popular?

Lyria: Th-that's not true... is it?

Spinnah: Oh, it's completely true. I've got to be an adult about this. Otherwise, spin blades are never making a comeback.

Lyria: Huh?

Vyrn: I thought you were a good guy, Fidget Fingers! Say it ain't it so!

(Captain) and friends gape at Spinnah in shock. Paying the crew no mind, the spin blader leaves the room with purposeful strides.

Vyrn: H-hey! Come back here!

Child 1: Look, it's Mistah Spinnah!

Child 2: Mistah Spinnah's here!

Spinnah: Heh, I see you kids formed a nice, neat line. Good job! The wait will be over before you know it!

Child 1: Can you show us a trick?

Spinnah: Let's not be hasty. You're here for the performance, right?

Spinnah attends to his fans in line with a charming smile.

Lyria: ...

Vyrn: Can't believe he's playing around with the kids at a time like this...

Lyria: The kids are having fun though... He is, too.

Vyrn: I guess... that's not something we can complain about...

Lyria: It can't be easy, trying to make spin blades popular again.

Despite the despicable business practices that created the spin blade boom, the children's smiles are all genuine.

Vyrn: But is this really the only way to do it?

Beyond the Boom: Scene 3

After the spin blade show starts, the audience vanishes, revealing themselves to be illusions created by Spinnah's spin blade technique. Spinnah explains that he had disclosed the sponsor's wrongdoing to everyone in line, convincing them to leave while also ruining future business ventures. Furious, the sponsor's lackeys set upon Spinnah.

---

Child 1: I wanna see Mistah Spinnah's tricks already!

Child 2: Nooo! I forgot to grab his autograph earlier!

Children and their guardians fill the seating area, chatting excitedly among themselves as they wait.

From backstage, (Captain) and friends peek out at the large crowd.

Lyria: That's a lot of people...

Vyrn: You mean a lotta suckers about to buy those crappy spin blades.

Lyria: Spinnah did say the new ones weren't very good...

Lyria: And those resellers were friends of his sponsor too...

Vyrn: Y'know you can be honest with us, Lyria. What's on your mind?

Lyria: Spinnah's dream is about to come true, but...

Vyrn: Doesn't feel good when it's happening like this, huh? Maybe we should stop him...

1. We can trust him.
2. Let's hold off a little longer.

Choose: We can trust him.

Lyria: You're right. He probably has a plan.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Let's hold off a little longer.

Vyrn: If you're sure. I mean, he wouldn't actually stoop that low, right?

Continue 1

Spinnah: Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone!

Children: Mistah Spinnah!

The spin blader performs trick after trick to the cheers of his adoring fans.

Spinnah: Time for a grand unveiling! Gaze your eyes upon our newest spin blade!

As Spinnah raises his light-up spin blade into the air and gives it a whirl, the crowd erupts with excitement.

Child 1: I want one!

Child 2: I need one!

Sponsor: Heheheh... The kids are loving the new design.

Merchant: Our new spin blades are going to fly off the shelves!

Reseller: Too bad I'm gonna be the one snatching 'em all up!

Crook: Go as wild as you want. Just don't forget this island's my turf.

Vyrn: Those sleazebags... They're not even trying to hide it.

Lyria: ...

Vyrn: Are we really gonna just stand around and watch? What're you staring at anyway?

Lyria: Um... Is it just me, or does the crowd seem kind of... transparent?

Child 1: I want it!

Vyrn: H-hold on, they're see-through to me too!

Child 2: Is it on sale yet?

Sure enough, even the scenery is visible through the audience members. But after another moment, the apparitions disappear altogether.

Merchant: Huh?

Sponsor: Wh-where did everyone go? Did they simply vanish into thin air?

Vyrn: This has gotta be...

Spinnah: Come one, come all! No need to be shy! There's no one else here but us!

Crook: What the hell's going on! Where'd all the people go?!

Spinnah: Why, nowhere! Since they were never here in the first place!

Spinnah: Allow me to explain! By rapidly rotating my spin blades, I was able to scoop up dust particles using the resulting draft to create illusions!

Sponsor: Th-that's completely absurd... and doesn't explain how your illusions could speak!

Spinnah: I can expand on that! By overlapping the sound of my spinning blades together, I was able to imitate the voices of people!

Reseller: H-how can that be possible?

Merchant: Spinnah, what is the meaning of this? What are you trying to pull...

Spinnah: Why, the reason is simple!

Spinnah: I am extremely angry with you all!

Merchant: ...!

Spinnah: You would rather soil your hands than let beauty thrive!

Reseller: Wh-who cares about that! What about my merchandise?

Spinnah: You can try to resell if you want, but I don't think anyone's going to bite. I already spread the good word of truth.

Sponsor: You did what?

Spinnah: I told every child and guardian in line exactly what you have been up to this whole time!

Merchant: Excuse me?

Spinnah: There were still some children that wanted the goods regardless, but their guardians took them home. Hence our lack of audience.

Vyrn: Fidget Fingers... So that's what you were doing earlier!

Spinnah: This is the end of your schemes and this sham of a spin blade boom!

Reseller: Why, you... What have you done to my business!

Crook: Y-you're going to pay for this! Men, get him!

As the unscrupulous man's lackeys surround Spinnah on all sides, (Captain) prepares to jump into the fray.

Spinnah: (Captain), you can leave this to me!

Vyrn: You, uh, sure about that?

Beyond the Boom: Scene 4

Utilizing technique after technique, Spinnah defeats all the wrongdoers except the sponsor, who had fled on an airship during the fighting. Levitating up to the ship on his spin blades, Spinnah grabs him and ties him up with his lackeys. The merchant apologizes for letting greed get the better of him, and Spinnah lets him off easy with a punch to the face and some advice. Though this endeavor ends less than ideally, Spinnah swears that he will bring about a new spin blade boom.

---

Spinnah: Hmph!

Spinnah launches his spin blade out as flames erupt from it, creating a whirlwind of searing pain for his foes.

Crook: Hot! Hot, hot, hot!

Lyria: I-is that spin blade on fire?

Spinnah: Allow me to clarify! You see, you can create flames by rapidly accelerating the rotation of the blades and creating friction with the air!

Spinnah: But that's not the only trick up my sleeve!

Lackey: ...!

A single lackey hits the floor while Spinnah simply holds a rotating spin blade in his hand.

Crook: The h-hell did you do?

Spinnah: The answer is obvious! I knocked him unconscious using the ultrasonic waves from my revolving blade!

Out of nowhere, a sandstorm sweeps across the stage and coils into a raging vortex around the reseller.

Reseller: Yeowch! Sand's hitting me all over! Gahhh!

Spinnah: Confused? Don't worry, I've got you! My spinning blades generated enough air movement to sweep sand particles off the ground and into the air!

One by one, the criminals fall to Spinnah's absurd techniques. However, it soon becomes clear they are short one crooked man in particular.

Merchant: U-um... Where did our sponsor go?

Spinnah: Look up. I'm pretty sure that's not a regularly scheduled airship.

Spinnah points at a single ship that has barely risen off the ground.

Merchant: That's the sponsor's ship!

Vyrn: So the slimeball's running away? Guess it's finally our turn to put in some work!

Spinnah: Hold it. Even if you rushed to the Grandcypher right now, you wouldn't make it in time.

Vyrn: Then what are we gonna do?

Sponsor: Another good business opportunity down the drain... Oh well, we can attempt another popularity boost down the line.

Spinnah: I wonder about that!

Sponsor: Huh?

Looking over his shoulder, the man spies Spinnah hovering outside the ship's railing.

Sponsor: Ahhh! H-how... You're floating?

Spinnah: This calls for an explanation! By utilizing two rapidly revolving spin blades, I can propel myself into the air and fly!

Spinnah: Now, let's get you back on the ground! I can't keep this trick up for long.

Without asking for permission, Spinnah grabs the sponsor and yanks him overboard.

Sponsor: L-let go of me!

Spinnah: Oh dear, it looks like we've exceeded the weight limit. Our descent is going to be a lot quicker than planned, sorry.

Spinnah: However, I could do as you requested and let you go. That way I can have a nice and easy landing.

Sponsor: D-don't let go of me!

Lyria: O-oh, wow... Spinnah flew up and took the sponsor!

Vyrn: There really was no point in us showing up, huh...

Once all the criminals are rounded up, the merchant hangs his head before the crew.

Merchant: I'm so sorry... I was supposed to help make spin blades the next big thing, but I lost sight of what really mattered.

Merchant: I could've turned things around the moment the sponsor brought his ne'er-do-well friends over...

Vyrn: Why'd you bother putting up with all the shady stuff in the first place?

Merchant: I'm ashamed to admit it, but I thought that's just how things worked in this business.

Merchant: That I'd have to get my hands dirty to some degree behind the scenes and pretend to be an upstanding citizen to everyone else.

Merchant: I was wrong. I promise I'll do better from now on, so please... give me another chance!

Spinnah: You...

Spinnah places a hand on the crying merchant's shoulder.

Merchant: Spinnah!

Spinnah: Hmph!

Merchant: Gah!

Without hesitation, Spinnah punches the man square in the face.

Lyria: Oh my gosh! Spinnah!

Vyrn: Weren't you two having a moment? Geez!

Spinnah: Do you really think a simple apology is good enough to forgive an adult who deceived children? I don't!

Lyria: That...

Vyrn: Well...

Merchant: That's fair!

Vyrn: (Huh. Maybe this guy's more sane than I thought.)

Spinnah: (Captain), you remember what I said in the dressing room, don't you? I needed to be an adult about this if I wanted spin blades to make a comeback.

Vyrn: Right... But the way you phrased it sounded like you were gonna do shady stuff too...

Spinnah: Haha, you misunderstood. I was referring to how this current wave of popularity had to end so I could create a new one.

Spinnah: Speaking of which... Today marks the end of the second spin blade boom and the beginning of the third!

Lyria: Oh! A th-third?

Spinnah: That's why I rounded up these scoundrels. They're going to be of no help for my next attempt.

Spinnah: Especially since they actively caused harm. Just looking at those spin blades makes my blood boil.

Vyrn: Heheh, now that sounds more like the Fidget Fingers we know!

Spinnah: Back to the Grandcypher we go, (Captain)! The third coming awaits our departure!

Merchant: U-uh... What about me?

Spinnah: If you really feel bad about what you've done, then spin some blades.

Merchant: You want me to... play with spin blades?

Spinnah: Behold their beauty. The blades will rotate steady and true once your heart is reformed from the inside out.

Spinnah: Because all answers lie within spin blades.
*Results may vary per person.

Vyrn: (Still, I don't get what he's saying half the time...)

Spinnah: Heheh!

The curtain closes on this chapter of spin blade history.

With his sights set on a new, true comeback, Spinnah swears to make his next attempt a resounding success.
