ROBOCLOWN: Welcome back to the land of the living!
HSSXXLLLO: Thanks, I guess I really did need some sleep.
ROBOCLOWN: Feeling better, then?
HSSXXLLLO: Much!
HSSXXLLLO: I'm sorry I've been so erratic. I thought about everything you said, and you're right. From now on, I'm just going to count my blessings and say a little prayer at night for Kuse and the others. At this point, what else can I do?
ROBOCLOWN: I'm glad to see that you've gained some perspective, Hssxxlllo.
HSSXXLLLO: Yeah, we'll see how it pans out. Did I miss anything important?
ROBOCLOWN: Well, actually...
ROBOCLOWN: ...one of the LEGO guys managed to fix Knacks's computer.
HSSXXLLLO: You're shitting me! Who?!
ROBOCLOWN: I don't know, they all blend together.
ROBOCLOWN: Hssxxlllo, please don't tell me that this means you'll be obsessing about finding Arcano's secret hideout all over again.
HSSXXLLLO: No, I'm done with that. Totally, 100% done. Let's go to the LEGO Calendar and grab today's stupid gift.
ROBOCLOWN: Sounds great! "This clown is down," heh.
HSSXXLLLO: Uh huh.
MEANWHILE...
TONY: Waiterbot, come on! Do we really have to watch this?!
WAITERBOT: What's the problem?
SAM: We must have at least a hundred DVDs...do we have to watch the friggin' Pokemon show?
WAITERBOT: This isn't merely the Pokemon "show," you cretins. This is Pokemon: The First Movie!
WAITERBOT: See? That's Mewtwo. He's one hardcore mother, and he's out for revenge!
WAITERBOT: Don't tell me you can't relate to this!
LATER!
ROBOCLOWN: You know, I never realized it before, but the LEGO Advent Calendar box seems to spoil all of the gifts waiting inside it.
HSSXXLLLO: I've noticed, but I try not to look. It's sort of a taboo.
ROBOCLOWN: Hey, check it out! It's Tony and Sam!
HSSXXLLLO: They look a lot happier on the box than they are in real life.
ROBOCLOWN: Yeah, this is blatant false advertising.
ROBOCLOWN: Well, what do you say? Should we take a look at what's coming, or wait to be surprised?
HSSXXLLLO: Oh, let's wait. It'd feel like we were cheating, otherwise.
ROBOCLOWN: Where's Box #9? I swear, it's so ridiculous that the LEGO gods didn't just put the boxes in numerical order.
HSSXXLLLO: I also hate that the boxes are aligned in vertical columns like this. It was so much easier with Playmobil...there was no climbing involved.
DON'T HATE THE PLAYA
HSSXXLLLO: Mista Snowman?! What are you doing here?!
MISTA SNOWMAN: I finally found something I'm good at! Opening LEGO Advent Calendar gifts!
HSSXXLLLO: Okay, fine, but you should really at least ask before hogging all of the glory for yourself.
MISTA SNOWMAN: I disagree!
HSSXXLLLO: And what's with these big, gaping rips? You're making such a mess of this place!
MISTA SNOWMAN: The song mentions "good tidings." There's nothing about "good tidyings."
HSSXXLLLO: Are you being sarcastic with me?
MISTA SNOWMAN: No, I'm being phenomenal!
MEANWHILE...
WAITERBOT: Okay, now this scene is just killer. Mewtwo's evil army of cloned Pokemon is kicking the shit out of the originals! It's like an adorable version of Jim Starlin's The Infinity War!
TONY: Waiterbot, I'll give you 50 bucks if you let us put on a different movie. Any...other...movie.
WAITERBOT: Quiet! You'll miss the best part!
WAITERBOT: Hahaha! Ash has turned to stone! Now Pikachu has to cry magic tears to bring him back to life!
WAITERBOT: It's film noir, you fools!
MEANWHILE...
HSSXXLLLO: So today's gift was a traffic light? That's kind of pointless.
MISTA SNOWMAN: It's not a traffic light! Don't you see the red and green? This is the Christmas tree of the future!
HSSXXLLLO: It really isn't, Mista Snowman.
ROBOCLOWN: Hssxxlllo...are you sure you don't want to sneak a peek at the box? I'm dying to know if we're in store for any major gifts this year.
HSSXXLLLO: Roboclown, you're acting like a child!
HSSXXLLLO: ...it's important that we uphold Advent Calendar traditions. Santa gave us a job, and damn it, we're going to do it right!
HSSXXLLLO: ...for hundreds of years, people just like us have been responsible for Advent Calendars just like this one. And they never broke the rules.
ROBOCLOWN: I guess you're right. Besides, considering all of the lampposts and traffic lights, I guess it'd be silly to expect any huge surprises.
HSSXXLLLO: Exactly!
HSSXXLLLO: Trust me, Roboclown. No matter what this year's Calendar throws at us...
