|She's up bright and early today, folks. She looks confident. She clearly went to bed at a more reasonable time last night. Let's hope she doesn't get cocky and overdo it.
Wussup GAMAAAAAHHHHHHHSSSS?!?!?!?
Is she... Is she flashing the metal sign? This doesn't look good, folks. The crowd is not really responding. There are a few people here and there reluctantly returning the sign, but they look a little embarrassed. Alright, she seems to have realized her mistake. She's clearing her throat. Let's see if she can save this event, for all our sakes.
Um, I mean, uhh... Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the giveaway.
And now she's bowing in the Japanese style. Still not quite on the mark, but it's being a lot better received than the last attempt. I think maybe she should move on and just hand out some free games. She's opening the envelope now. The big moment has come.
In the category Broken Sword: Director's Cut, the winner is... aenri!
Aenri is taking the stage. He's accepting the game. He looks pretty happy, folks. He reaches for the mic, ready to say a few words... And Sappho pulls it away! Wow! She is not giving up that microphone for anything. Alright, aenri is leaving. He seems satisfied enough with the game. Sappho has calmed down a little. She looks ready for the next one.
In the category Waking Mars, the winner is... BlindKitty!
I believe this is BlindKitty's second win in this competition. Still wearing that signature cat mask, we're actually not positive about this user's gender, but they're approaching the stage anyway. What's this? They've crouched down on the other side of the podium? They seem to think they are hidden. What are they doing? Is that... Are they trying to ambush Sappho? Ah, but she sees the end of the mask sticking out. She's confronting them. BlindKitty is spooked, folks! The ears are back, the hair is standing on end... The kitty is leaping! It's got the game! And BlindKitty is gone, folks! Long gone! I didn't realize a kitty could move so fast, ladies and gentlemen. That was impressive.
In the category Q.U.B.E., the winner is... choppy!
Choppy struts his way up to the stage. He's posing a bit before accepting the game. He's trying to get the crowd riled up, but they already seem a little jaded after Sappho's earlier attempt. Alright, he's got the game now. He's looking at the microphone, but Sappho's eyes are looking like BlindKitty's were a few moments ago. I don't think he's going to risk it.
In the category Ku: Shroud of the Morrigan, the winner is... notquitethere!
No big surprise there, as he was the only one who showed any interest in the game. Notquitethere slinks toward the podium. He looks pleased. He looks very pleased. He's smiling at Sappho. She's gripping that microphone tightly, just in case he gets any ideas. He's reaching out gently for the game. She passes it to him cautiously. He takes it slowly, so as not to startle her. They smile at each other. And this one seems to have passed without incident.
And finally, in the category Ultonius: A Tale of Petty Revenge, we have two copies to give away, and two entrants, which means that both Boksi and Il Palazzo each get copies! Get up here, guys!
They're running up to the stage! And music is starting to play! They each take their copy of the game. They're grinning madly. What's that, now? They're exchanging conspiratorial glances up there. What is going on? What's this? Sweet Armok, they're dancing! They've prepared some sort of choreographed dance, and they've integrated the games as props! This is fantastic! The crowd is going wild! They're loving it! Sappho is loving it, too! She looks excited, folks, she looks very excited. And she's-- Yes, she's joining in! Oh, but she's making a few wrong steps there. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't believe she was in on the dance preparations. Boksi and Il Palazzo are looking a little annoyed. But, wait a minute... Wait a minute! Is that Aenri, BlindKitty, and Choppy sneaking back up to the stage? They've got the microphone! They've got the microphone, everyone! Sappho hasn't noticed yet. She's noticed! The music is fading out! The winners have escaped with the microphone! Sappho is not happy, ladies and gentlemen, not happy at all. I think maybe we'd better cut this one short before someone gets hurt. Come back tomorrow, folks, for the next five winners, and hopefully some tranquilizers for our host!
