[Scene: Prawn HQ. HIGH LORD PRAWN sits upon his magnificent throne as thralls scurry about, hanging bunting, lights, and assorted Christmas-themed decorations. A fussy-looking prawn stands in the center, yelling orders.]
FUSSY-LOOKING PRAWN: You there! Move that snowflake slightly to the left!
[Enter a large, officious, white duck dressed in military regalia.]
HIGH LORD PRAWN: Ah, Tyrannical Duc! What news from our loving subjects?
TYRANNICAL DUCK: It’s “duck”, lord, not “duc”.
HIGH LORD PRAWN: How on earth did you spot that typo?
TYRANNICAL DUCK: We ducks have very good hearing. And vision. And good sledgehammers for breaking down fourth walls.

HIGH LORD PRAWN: Goodness! Is it that time already? Well then! [Takes TYRANNICAL DUCK’S fourth-wall breaking hammer] To all our loyal readers, supporters, followers, and other assorted personages of varying importance! Happy holidays to you all and thank you for all your support! May the new year…
TYRANNICAL DUCK (leaning in and whispering): That’s “New Year”, lord. With capital letters.
HIGH LORD PRAWN (adjusting crown): Ahem…may the NEW YEAR usher in a new age of grace, wonder, and prosperity…
TYRANNICAL DUCK (whispering): And video game reviews…
HIGH LORD PRAWN: And video game reviews to you all! (Gets in sleigh): On Dasher, on Dander, on Comet and Vomit, on Pluto, on Venus, on Dandruff, and Pe…
TYRANNICAL DUCK (interjecting): Happy holidays, everyone!
