Day 7

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Instead of his normal morning announcements, this morning you awaken to… Ronald McDonald playing a lovely tune for all of you with his band. Audible even over the metal is a louder sound of scraping, and a low rumble that persists throughout the song. ]

[ Afterward, you'll find that a new hallway has appeared in the studio. Where there was once an empty wall, there is now a theater! And your tablets will display the rules for a brand new competition… ]

[ Santa meanders up and wonders if he can save them all. ]

Hey, uh, you want to know how to make that thing sound even more awesome?

[scribbly]

[UM FUCK YEAH SHE DOES]

How? How?!

[jinglebros]

Okay, so, take your hand and hit it to the beat of your heart.

[scribbly]

[aw fuck now she has to fake having a heart

...

??????

BANGS ON HER CHEST A COUPLE OF TIMES??????]

[ Squints. ]

[scribbly]

...

What?

[he said to hit her hand to her heartbeat?! ISN'T THAT WHERE HEARTS LIVE WHEN YOU HAVE THEM]

[jinglebros]

....here.

[ He takes two of her fingers and puts them on his wrist. ]

Can you feel my pulse? Remember that, then hit the drum the same way.

[scribbly]

Ohhhh, the druuum...

[not her heart...she wasn't hitting the heart......

But she does bang the drum, much more loudly than is necessary, at the bum bum bum bum rhythm of Santa's pulse.]

That's a...pulse..?

[jinglebros]

That is! But hit it a little more gently. Pretend it's going to burst if you hit it too hard.

[scribbly]

How come? ...Will it?

[because. maybe she wants to see it explode]

[jinglebros]

No it won't, but if you hit it too hard, people won't be very happy.

Trust me, I've made people mad like that.
