I can only think of one thing to save the spinoff, and it relies on our awesome friends and loyal customers.

It's a good idea, I think it might actually work Alpaca!

If everyone places orders for this special yarn, Lana Grossa Cat, then Captain Bones's ship will fill up with virtual cats...

The concept is brilliant Alpaca, I had no idea you understood the correlation between suggestive naming and visual imagery connection in the brain. Most yarn in this virtual reality just would appear as skeins of yarn, but something called "Cat" would be interpreted as extra fuzzy cats because it's the first thing our brain thinks!

I have no idea what you're talking about Fred - visual connection what? Anyway, everyone knows that dogs and cats don't usually get along very well, so by filling the ship we can drive Captain Bones off and save the day!

And by save the day, we mean save the spinoff!

Oh and us. Can it save us too? I don't want to be thrown into the sea of unmanaged memory, it sounds bad!

Well Alpaca, looks like we're next.

Wait, I have an idea!

It better not involve cupcakes...

Enjoy ye cupcake... as I swat ye off me boat you no good sheisty traitor!

SWAT!

BAAAaaaahhhh!

Quick Merlino! Manifest something to defeat Captain Bones with!

Right!

poof!

...

Merlino?

I know! Alpaca mentioned a cupcake a little while ago and I'm really hungry. It's all I can think about!

...

Bad dog! Go get it!

How daft do you think I am?? I'm not jumping overboard after a bone!

Oh. Well... there goes my only plan!

That's a good boy! Now... fetch!

...

Anyway, we've wasted enough time with idle banter. We be throwing you overboard now so I can make me final preparations...

But wait! I've got a bone! Does doggy want a bone? Does he?

Yes! I really do want that bone. Please let me have it now so I may happily enjoy it...

So you intend to just keep all of the spinoff yarn and money, and just... sail away?

Yeah, something like that.

And the large mob of angry knitters that will surely stop at nothing until they find you?

Aye, I am a wee bit concerned about that. It wouldn't have been a problem if you two didn't show up and blow me cover!

This whole thing started when that strange mechanical sheep connected to the Internet. He accessed an email promising all natural wool fiber enhancement for 90% off, which unfortunately for him, really contained a virus.

I soon realized I was able to access to the Dizzy Sheep Server and with this crazy spinoff event happening, it occurred to me that I was blessed with a lucky wind at me back indeed.

I enacted the Dizzy Sheep Referral Program to increase sales and then it just be a matter of waiting for the orders to come in.

What better way to fill me ship with loot than to have all of the yarn orders shipped directly to it?

And on top of that, what better way to buy all of the dog bones I could ever want than to keep all of the money paid for the yarn?

I just have to update all the orders when the spinoff be over and soon I will be setting sail with a full cargo hold and a full belly. Captain Nobeard Salty Bones will be known across the land!

Two meddling intruders captured as promised, Captain Bones!

Yes, ye done a good job Merlino.

And my cut of the loot?

A deal is a deal! When the spinoff is over, you'll get your share.

Share? Share of what??

Yeearrf! Share of pirate booty! What is ye name? Fred?

Yes.

Just Fred?

Well, I also go by Fred the Great Gargoyle Overlord...

A fine name! Allow me to explain me master plan before we throw you overboard into the great sea of unmanaged memory...
