Auld Lang Syne: Age of Tyranno
As people are accustomed to the concept of Premium Friday, so did the perception of the pocket FRIED SHRIMPs. One day, a young girl leading a dinosaur "wreaked havoc" by stealing those pocket SHRIMPs from others. By "wreaked havoc", it meant people lending their SHRIMPs with little to no resistance.
They eventually realize that without that golden trinket, the concept of Premium Friday has lost its luster, forcing Friday to enlist the crew and make things right before Final Premium Friday is ruined.
Tropes
- Achievements in Ignorance: Somehow, it never crossed Tyra's mind that cracking the code on reviving dinosaurs is enough of a money maker on its own.
- Complexity Addiction: Tyra's plan is to use dinosaurs to steal and intimidate people into giving up their pocket SHRIMPs to win lotteries and make money.
- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: The main reason Tyra stole pocket SHRIMPs is to rig lotteries and win money. The crew points out that she could have made more than what the lotteries could ever provide by just selling the dinosaurs as is.
- Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Tyra used her dinosaurs to steal SHRIMPs and win lotteries when just selling the dinosaurs themselves would create a lot more.
- Easily Forgiven: Despite all of that trouble, Friday decides to let Tyra go, as the latter indirectly demonstrates why people should keep their pocket FRIED SHRIMPs.
- Good Luck Charm: The pocket FRIED SHRIMPs being handed out by Alohas is one of these. Things turn downhill as people toss/give them away like they're nothing.
- Skewed Priorities: The one thing Bai feared about Final Premium Friday possibly going bust is that she might not spend that day with the Captain.
- Talking Is a Free Action: Discussed and subverted. Friday finds Tyra's Motive Rant going far too long that she and the Captain decide to take out all but one dinosaur before Tyra could react.
