SHOW #23// HOLIDAY SPECIAL

[wavemastering]

[There's a big Christmas tree in the middle of the League's hub, covered in lights and ornaments and sparkly stuff, and more importantly, there are big boxes underneath the tree, with tags on them which are either blank or addressed to specific members of the league. The Vocaloids are on standby in elf costumes if any assistance is necessary. They

... And what the hell am I supposed to do with this?

[Excel leans in to see if it's ticking, and wonders if it's worth any money.]

Well, maybe I can pawn it off or something... So what is i-...

[She opens it and stares]

[nota_bimbo]

[She's kind of wiggling around, ending up on her back, looking up rather helplessly at Excel. She does not even know how this happened. Needless to say, she is freaking out quite a bit.]

[pitfallen]

...

W... What the hell is this...? Huh? Shii-chan? 'zat you?

[Excel props her foot up on the edge of the box and drags Shiina out, sets her on the floor, and starts to unwrap her... until she only finds bare skin underneath the ribbons.]

.......

[nota_bimbo]

[She kind of flops out of the box, trying to wriggle out of the ribbons as Excel starts to untie her. She knows she has no clothes but she is too busy freaking the hell out that she woke up tied up in a box to really care at the moment.]

[pitfallen]

[Excel twitches and holds her hands out to try and placate her]

O-Oi, calm down! Quit wriggling! I'll get you out, just... Gimme a second here!

[She frowns and pulls the ribbons out of Shiina's mouth so she can at least breathe. She leaves the ribbon on her head, though, for some reason she isn't really sure of. It's cute.]

[nota_bimbo]

[Oh thank god. She takes a few deep breaths.]

...It was scary in there.

[pitfallen]

... Uh, yeah... Well...

[Excel grimaces and tries not to let Shiina see the slight red tint in her face.]

Anyway! What kinda sick freaks are runnin' this joint, anyhow?! This is just a new level of corruption! When I find out who came up with this nonsense I'll re-educate 'em proper! With a bamboo cane! Those suckers hurt like hell if you wet 'em first!

[nota_bimbo]

[Shiina is still trying to fight her way out of the rest of the ribbons, which is not faring so well.]

I.. I don't even know how this happened! I took a nap and then I was in that box! I know this place has done some weird things but.. this!?

[pitfallen]

Well, we'll just have to beef up security, then! I'll finish up the spike pits I've been digging around the trailer tomorrow. Uh? Oh, here, lemme get that-...

[Excel pulls up one of the pieces of the ribbon to bite it off, and most of the ribbons come loose. The bow stays in place, though. ... And, uh, Excel's totally not staring. Nope. Not one bit.]

[nota_bimbo]

Ah! I can help!

[Oh Excel, you are her hero. She relaxes a bit as she can finally move again, then realizes she's pretty much naked and tries to cover herself.]

As soon as I find some clothes...

[pitfallen]

... Y... Yeah... That, er... That might be a good idea, huh...?

[Not looking, not looking, not looking]

[nota_bimbo]

Y-Yeah... [Looks around.] My clothes aren't in the box though.

[pitfallen]

... They're not?

[A bit of a pause; Excel looks into the box and then around the room.]

... So... you have other clothes, right?

[nota_bimbo]

Y-Yeah, but they're back in the trailer.

[pitfallen]

... Hmm... Gonna have to improvise, then...

[Excel looks around conspiratorially, just in case anyone's watching, and picks the box up again.]

Hup!

[She then proceeds to rips holes in the top and sides, to make arm and leg holes for Shiina.]

There we go! Perfect!

[nota_bimbo]

W-Well I guess it could do until we got home...

[Just so long as she doesn't have to run around naked.]
