Happy Birthday Cutscenes

Happy birthday, (Captain)!
I got you a little something to commemorate the beautiful occasion!
The skies grow dim as a giant plate towering over the Grandcypher appears above.
Surprised? It's my special deluxe supersized birthday cake!
The truth is, I thought maybe setting a new record with the Buinness World Records would help me spread Premium Friday.
We just have to light the candles, and I'll go down in history as the woman who made the largest birthday cake in the skies—with Buinness's acknowledgement!
It's why I've taken the liberty of inviting plenty of witnesses and spectators to make your birthday party this year one to remember!
Now that people are starting to gather, I think it's time we light the candles!
Friday shoots out concentrated flame from the tip of her fried spear.
Watch as I make history and set a new world record before your very eyes!

Nothing is planned for this particular day.
All of a sudden, a notification sounds from the SHRIMP goggles, signaling the start of a program.
The captain hurries to put on the goggles.
Premiuum! It's a very special program today!
Although I have to admit, this one won't have too much to do with Premium Friday.
Hehe! For anyone who was expecting something else, sorry!
As for what's so special about today...
I'd like to send out a message to a certain somebody!
This person is always working very hard, so I'd like to take some time to say happy birthday.
No matter how tiring the journey becomes, or how difficult things are...
This person will surely live a most wonderful life. I'm sure of it.
So never give up! Always do your best, from here on out and always! Happy birthday!
As for who Ultimate Friday is saying these words to...
(Captain) knows best.

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Oh? My new look caught your attention?
Truth be told, I was just as surprised when I woke up looking like this.
But relax! I'm not in any pain, and I feel great—just like whenever I see the golden star!
Anyway, I had something for you. Here it is, (Captain).
You might remember it from the test screening we did the other day. Yep, your very own pair of SHRIMP googles!
I made some further modifications to send video feed directly into it.
Going forward, I'm going to be streaming various Premium Friday-related programs through the SHRIMP googles!
I expect the first stream to go up on Valentine's. Keep it handy for then!

On the morning of New Year's Day, a notification sounds from the SHRIMP goggles, signaling the start of a program.
(Captain) slowly puts on the goggles.
Hello everyone! This is your friendly Friday reporter, wishing you a happy new year!
For our very first program of the year, we're at a temple for an investigation. It's said that a certain something is enshrined here.
A live stream of Friday in front of a shrine plays on screen.
There it is! You see that? You can just feel the stern aura of the temple exuding from it!
Let's take a closer look at the deities enshrined at the entrance of the temple...
Would you look at that—guardian SHRIMPs! So divine! So glorious!
As you can see, this temple is dedicated to worshipping a very special existence in the skies as an exalted deity!
Yes... It's clear, isn't it? SHR—
Perhaps due to a transmission issue, the screen suddenly turns dark, and nothing can be seen on it anymore.
Still, the short program is enough to pique (Captain)'s curiosity as the captain begins to wonder what other things can be found at the SHRIMP temple.

To recap...
Friday suddenly took on the form of Ultimate Friday one day and handed (Captain) a pair of SHRIMP goggles.
Ultimate Friday: Going forward, I'm going to be streaming various Premium Friday-related programs through the SHRIMP googles!
Friday's stream is supposed to go up today. (Captain) puts on the goggles and waits for the appointed time.
Ultimate Friday: Premiuuum! How are you enjoying your Valentine's Day?
Today marks the first stream of my special Premium Friday series.
The topic is, "Who is the most premium"?
I'll explain the rules. I'm going to release an army of FRIED SHRIMP bits into the skies.
Each one will be attached with a specially wrapped chocolate made by yours truly.
I'd like everyone watching the stream to go catch the bits to see how much chocolate you can get!
Whoever secures the most chocolate will be awarded the title of "Most Premium," in addition to winning a complimentary FRIED SHRIMP bit!
All right, everyone! Take off those SHRIMP goggles and run wild! Those FRIED SHRIMP bits are waiting for you!
(Captain) removes the goggles and looks up to find a bit floating overhead.
(Captain) quickly leaps up to grab it, securing the box tied to its tail end.

The Grandcypher flies through the air, weaving through the clouds in a clear, blue sky.
Just then, a notification sounds from the SHRIMP goggles, signaling the start of a program.
Ultimate Friday: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is Friday.
It's time for another Premium Friday show! Today, I'll be covering the weather for the entire skies—first, let's take a look at this map.
The weather is looking good today!
In the Auguste region, it'll be mostly sunny with a chance of... FRIED SHRIMP bits!
This year, a single FRIED SHRIMP among the masses will be holding chocolate!
Who will be the one to win the Premium Friday chocolate this year?
Without waiting for the end of the program, (Captain) flings off the goggles and dashes out the door.
The captain immediately goes to find Rackam and alters the ship's course to head for Auguste.

Friday's stream is supposed to go up today. (Captain) puts on the goggles and waits for the appointed time.
Ultimate Friday: Premiuuum! So today's White Day!
And so many of you sent me chocolate from all over the skies. Really appreciate it, guys!
Now, on with the show! Today's topic is...
"The presents that make me happiest on White Day!"
White Day presents generally come in the form of confections, ranging from candy to cookies to marshmallows...
What I've never understood is why no one thinks to offer up fried prawns.
I'm sure everyone has the experience of having their favorite food go unacknowledged by the world at large.
Which is why I've decided to gather everyone's opinions today to decide on the number one gift!
There should be a microphone attached to each of your SHRIMP goggles. If you just speak into that, I'll be able to hear you.
I'm going to be the final judge of this, but here's your chance to chime in, everyone! Don't forget to tell me your reasons too!
After a bit of thought, (Captain) utters the name of a favorite snack because it was so appetizing.

A month has passed since the mass appearance of FRIED SHRIMP bits in Auguste on Valentine's Day.
Thinking there may be a chance of something similar happening today on White Day, (Captain) waits patiently in the captain's quarters.
And just as expected, soon a notification sounds from the SHRIMP goggles, signaling the start of a program.
Ultimate Friday: Premiuuum! Is everyone enjoying White Day?
White Day is a special occasion where affection can be shown in many different forms. What a beautiful event, wouldn't you say?
I, too, am extremely grateful to everyone who watches this program regularly. Thank you so much!
Now, I'd like to ask all of our regular viewers for your help.
Why don't you all help me think of a new name for this program! The "Premium Friday show" is a bit of a mouthful, isn't it?
Think of your ideas as a White Day present for yours truly! I'd greatly appreciate it, everyone!
After the program ends, (Captain) sits for a while, lost in thought.
Eventually, the captain comes to the conclusion that the "Premium Friday show" is the most straightforward and memorable.
(Captain) quickly writes this down and sends it as a comment to Ultimate Friday.

Premiuuum! Enjoying Halloween, everyone? It's time for today's stream!
Did everyone read the admail I sent everyone the other day?
For those of you who haven't had the chance to do so: no biggie. Because I'm going to explain today's activity!
As everyone knows, the symbol of Premium Friday is FRIED SHRIMP.
As such, I'd like my viewers today to play the part for a costume contest.
Today's topic is, "Who makes for the best FRIED SHRIMP?" Participating is easy enough!
I've attached a photography unit to my FRIED SHRIMP bits and dispatched them to your neighborhoods.
Call one over and strike a pose right then and there. Do that, and your entry will be locked in.
Now go forth, everyone! Show me the FRIED SHRIMP within you!
(Captain) takes off the SHRIMP goggles and finds one of the FRIED SHRIMP bits flying in the sky.
A trip to the captain's quarters is in order, where a Halloween costume awaits.

Friday's stream is supposed to go up today. (Captain) puts on the goggles and waits for the appointed time.
Premiuuum! Season's greetings!
Most people celebrate the holidays with fried chicken and cake.
But if you ask me, the holidays are the perfect time for some fried prawn.
I mean, just look at this! Its color and rolled-up shape couldn't be a more perfect representation of familial bliss and love!
That's why I thought I'd take this opportunity to show you how to make fried prawn—Friday-style!
First thing's first! You want to be extra gentle when peeling the shell—as if you're trying to catch a bubble without popping it.
Next is to devein, then soak in brine to eliminate the odor. Add seasoning, chop off the tail, drain, then dunk the prawn into a mixture of egg yolk and flour.
The trick is to make sure it's coated in flour all over—as if it's wearing a down jacket in the winter to keep warm!
Then dip the prawn into a pan of bubbling hot oil and perk up your ears to the euphoric sound of food being fried.
...
Now! Pretend you're an expert goldfish scooper while being careful not to burn yourself as you scoop the prawns onto a cooling rack!
There, it's done! Now it's your turn to give this a shot!
Feeling sudden pangs of hunger, (Captain) takes off the SHRIMP goggles and makes for the kitchen.
(Captain)'s understanding of fried prawn has increased by 75, while interest in fried chicken has decreased by 5.

Defend the Premium Lifestyle!

When a Premium Friday-loving town comes under attack by the Anti-Premium Friday faction, Friday transforms into Ultimate Friday and launches a vicious counterattack.



Friday: For a more immersive experience, I recommend enabling the sounds settings as you watch along.
Please sit back and enjoy!
Friday: In a nondescript town that actively participates in the tradition of Premium Friday, the people lived in peace.
Friday: When the golden star was shining high in the sky upon that glorious day one particular month, I found myself taking a stroll through town.
Boy with Dog: Hello, Friday! Premium!
Friday: Premium! Enjoying your wonderful leisure time, are we?
Boy with Dog: Mm-hm! Mom and I had a birthday party for Pero earlier! Right, Pero?
Pero: Woof!
Boy's Mother: We went to the cafe at the top of the hill, where they serve cake catered specifically to dogs.
Boy's Mother: Since that place closes up in the evening, I told my son we'd go there on Premium Friday.
Friday: So embracing a new tradition allowed you to celebrate your beloved pet's birthday! Simply marvelous!
Boy with Dog: That's right! Premium Friday's the best! Thank you so much, Friday!
Director: Alert! Alert! Anti-Premium Friday militants are fast approaching! Those able to fight should hurry to the west gate!
Friday: The APF faction? Oh no!
PF Warrior 1: Ngh... We're being pushed back! Where's that resupply of SHRIMP bullets!
PF Warrior 2: I've got it right here! Now to just load the SHRIMP Spreader with a batch fresh from the fryer!
Friday: Is everyone okay? What's the situation!
PF Warrior 1: Friday, thank goodness you're here! The APF is about to break through the front line.
Friday: You did well holding out until now. Leave the rest to me!
Friday: With FRIED SHRIMP in hand, I flew straight into the battlefield!
Friday: I'll show them firsthand that resistance is futile, no matter how many times they try!
Friday: Go forth, my FRIED SHRIMP army!
APF Warrior 1: Holy abalone! They're fried to a perfect crisp!
APF Warrior 2: Get a load of that batter... Sure smells nice...
Friday: But of course! I may have had to mass-produce them, but that doesn't mean I skimped on the quality!
???: I can tell! You'd be hard-pressed to find any restaurant serving fried prawn that tasty-looking!
Friday: You're the APF faction leader! Get it through your thick skull that these are FRIED SHRIMP, not fried prawn!
APF Leader: Blah, tomato, to-mah-to. Based on appearances alone, they're practically the same thing.
APF Leader: That's why you're going to lose today. Consider it your comeuppance for overreliance on prawns.
Friday: The APF leader took a mysterious device out of her pocket and pushed the red button at its core.
APF Leader: Perhaps you've heard of the famous proverb "it takes a prawn to hook a demonbream."
Friday: A prawn to hook a demonbream... You don't mean—
Friday: Baked demonbreams!
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.
Friday: Fish-shaped crispy pastries showed up behind me and began biting into the mass-produced FRIED SHRIMPs.
Friday: No! Not my precious creations!
APF Leader: You see? Your FRIED SHRIMPs are no match for my BAKED BREAMs.
PF Warrior 1: Gwaaah! They're swimming through the sky! I-is this it for us?
PF Warrior 2: They swim through the ground below us too? Damn it all... Get the heck off me, you phony demonbreams!
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!
APF Leader: What the... Her light resonates with that of the golden star!
Boy's Mother: She's merging with the FRIED SHRIMPs! Could it be...
Boy's Mother: It's said that those who devote their entire lives to promoting Premium Friday are acknowledged by the golden star to take up the mantle. The mantle of...
Boy's Mother: Ultimate Friday!
APF Leader: Ultimate Friday, you say!
Ultimate Friday: Aah, yes—this blazing heat deep-fries me to the bone!
Ultimate Friday: Depraved fish who rob the people of happiness, the flames of my FRIED Spear will make quick work of you!
PF Warrior 2: The BAKED BREAMs have been torched! We're saved!
APF Leader: Impossible! No matter what form they might take, prawns cannot possibly stand up to demonbreams!
Ultimate Friday: Unfortunately for you, I—Ultimate Friday—am ultimately just a person named Friday.
Ultimate Friday: And it is people that feast on the demonbreams hooked by prawns. BAKED BREAMs or what have you, you don't stand a chance!
APF Leader: Urk! Our entire school of BAKED BREAMs is done for!
Ultimate Friday: I have you cornered! Prepare yourselves!

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.
