Fred Crumbs

Fred Crumbs is the shoes dealer for Shrimp Kicks in Inkopolis in Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass. His design is based on Aji Fry, which is a deep-fried Japanese horse mackerel dish.

Appearance
Similar to Crusty Sean, Fred Crumbs gives the impression of a humanoid deep-fried food. He has two fins, with his right holding a slice of lemon. His lips are a bluish-purple and his eyes have black strokes that are angled, giving the impression of squinted eyes. He wears a piercing on his tail, which is located on the top of his body, and his shoes can alternate between a pair of Silver Hi-Horses, a pair of white Tenya Octos, a pair of red, white, and yellow Squidkid Vs, and a pair of yellow, orange and green Mako Bucket Hi-Tops.

Quotes
"And here we have Fred Crumbs. He's newly filleted and deep-fried, as the job posting at Shrimp Kicks called for someone with "extra crispy" fashion sense. Despite this misunderstanding, Fred knows his shoes and is reportedly pleased that he can now wear both a left and a right."

When a player below level 4 enters the shop:
 * "Hé, hé! Alles blits? Wat zie jij er... minder vers uit dan verwacht. Sorry, mijn schoenen zijn ontworpen voor iemand met minstens orange. Ik verzin het ook niet zelf. Ga in de orange wat orange uitvechten, of zo. Dan praten we daarna verder."
 * (Hey, hey! Everything all right? What do you look... less fresh than expected. Sorry, my shoes are designed for someone with at least orange. I don't make it up myself. Go fight out some orange in the orange, or something. Then we'll continue our talking after that.)

 * (Hey, hey! Everything all right? Welcome to my store, Shrimp Kicks! You'll never go wrong here! Oh, look at you! You're totally farm-fresh! Then I can show you the whole collection immediately. Look at all those shoes shine!)


 * "Je weet toch wel al dat onze schoenen uitgerust zijn met allerlei nuttige orange? Gelukkig. ik had geen zin om dat uit te moeten leggen. Ik weet alleen dat ze er vers uitzien, dat ze vers ruiken en dat je er verse dingen mee kunt doen. Voor info druk je maar op ."
 * (You do already know that our shoes are equipped with various useful orange, right? Thankfully. I didn't feel like having to explain that. All I know is that they look fresh, that they smell fresh, and that you can use them to do fresh things. For info you simply press .)

When a player of level 10 or up enters the shop for the first time:

When a player of level 30 or up enters the shop for the first time:
 * "Hé, hé! Alles blits? Welkom in De Schoener! De hipste stappers, schoen aan de haak! Wacht, is mijn versheidsmeter kapot, of is jouw versheid onmeetbaar groot? Ontzettend bedankt dat je m'n bescheiden winkeltje komt bezoeken."
 * (Hey, hey! Everything all right? Welcome to Shrimp Kicks! The trendiest of sneakers, no strings attached! Wait, is my freshness meter broken, or is your freshness immeasurable? An incredible thank you for coming to visit my modest little store.)

When spending at least 100.000 cash for the first time:
 * "Hé hé, blitskikker. Jij staat altijd vooraan in de winkel als er nieuwe schoenen worden gedropt, en dat vinden we cool. Echt waar. Daarom willen we je wat geven. Dit is speciaal voor de allerverste vaste klanten. Een orange! Om te showen dat wij je cool genoeg vinden voor een badge. Geen dank, weet je."
 * (Hey hey, fashionista. You're always first in line at the store when new shoes are dropped, and we think that's cool. We really do. That's why we want to give you something. This is just for the very freshest regulars. A orange! To show that we think you're cool enough for a badge. Don't mention it, you know.)

When spending at least 1.000.000 cash for the first time:
 * "Gup, jij hebt echt zó'n hoop schoenen gekocht bij ons! Jij bent voor ons pas echt een collector's item. Dus daarom heb jij wat bijzonders verdiend. We geven onze speciale orange alleen aan de allerblitste guppen. En bij die guppenclub hoor jij. Dat ding is zo zeldzaam dat zelfs ik hem voor het eerst zie, en ik werk hier! Daar mag je oprecht trots op zijn. Ga dat ding showen!"

We give our special orange only to the most fashionable of guppies. And that guppy club is where you belong. That thing is so rare that even I see it for the first time, and I work here! That is something you can be genuinely proud of. Go show that thing off!)

When entering the shop without an internet connection:
 * "Hé, hé! Aaaa... Dit is helemaal niet blits. Je bent offline. Jij probeert offline schoenen te kopen? Hoe zie je dat voor je? Maat, ga snel naar de orange en maak verbinding met het orange!"

 * (Everything all right, gup?)

When the shop stocks a piece of already-owned headgear for the first time:
 * "Hé, hé! We hebben een stel schoenen in de winkel waar je al een paar van hebt. Je zou je schoenen kunnen orange of de orange van jouw paar kunnen verhogen! Een orange geeft je schoenen extra effectvakjes of extra ervaringspunten. orange kun je doen als het hoofdeffect van het andere paar schoenen je leuker lijkt."
 * (Hey, hey! We have a couple of shoes in the store that you already have a pair of. You could orange your shoes or boost the orange of your pair! A orange gives your shoes extra ability slots or extra experience points. You could orange if the other pair of shoes' main ability seems nicer to you.)

When selecting a piece of headgear:
 * "Die vind je mooi?"
 * (That one you like?)

When selecting a piece of already-owned headgear:
 * "Hé, is dat wat. Je hebt die schoenen al. Wil je de orange van jouw paar orange, of die van jou orange voor die van ons?"
 * (Hey, that's funny. You already have those shoes. Would you like to orange your pair's orange, or orange yours for ours?)

When deciding whether to exchange a piece of headgear:
 * "De orange en alle orange worden geschrapt, oké?"
 * (The orange and all orange will be discarded, okay?)

When trying to trade in a piece of headgear that has the same main ability:
 * "Wacht even, die hebben al hetzelfde hoofdeffect. Dat is alsof je jus d'orange inwisselt voor sinaasappelsap. Dat schiet niet op."
 * (Hold on, those already have the same main ability. That's like exchanging jus d'orange for orange juice. That's no use.)

When selecting a piece of already-owned headgear with max star power:
 * "Hmm, die schoenen ga je echt niet nóg zeldzamer kunnen maken, hoor."
 * (Hmm, those shoes' star power you're really not going to be able to boost EVEN further, you know.)
