((OOC: Gintoki is black, Zura is blue. Warning for length because Gintamas are ridiculous. tl;dr they want training partners for magic learning.))
[ In comparison to last time, the beginning of this recording has less time spent on adjusting the camera and whatnot. It's all thanks to Zura, who's the more technologically adept of them.
This is definitely Gintoki, but he's not dressed in his usual clothes. No, instead, he's dressed as Santa, with a fake beard that perfectly matches his hair colour. He definitely makes the best Santa of all! Everyone else can go home! Anyway. He's not alone. Next to him is one Katsura Kotarou in a plush brown onesie, redclown deer nose and stuffed, cheap reindeer antlers that stick to his head with a headband. That's well hidden beneath his long, black hair, though.
Katsura stares at the camera, hands on hips, then brings one hand up to politely clear his throat before hollering a sudden and obnoxiously loud; ]
Ho ho ho–
[ And right as on cue, he’s getting smacked over the head hard enough that he ends up hunched forward and the headband with the antlers has slipped and turned to hang precariously sideways. ]
What do you think you’re doing, Zura?! That’s my line!
[ Zura seems oblivious to his antlers wardrobe malfunction because he doesn’t fix it as he straightens up with an indignant huff. ]
It’s not Zura, it’s R*dolph. I should get lines, too!
[ Where is that beep coming from? ]
Why?! If you’re R*dolph, you can’t speak! Just stand there and be my light like a good little reindeer. That’s a good boy. [ pats his head ]
[ Zura sputters and shoves Gintoki’s hand away. ]
I obviously can!! [ folds arms combatively. ] Isn’t R*dolph supposed to be S*nta’s most trusted advisor? How can I possibly be the light at the end of anyone’s tunnel if I am not allowed to speak to the audience?
[ He’s… sort of looking a little embarrassed now though? Definitely pouting, at least. Did he actually like the headpat? Was it the “good boy” part??? ]
Whaddya mean S*nta’s most trusted advisor? You’re a reindeer!
Yes, and the close bond we have shared over the years of dashing through the snow and bringing joy to children and widows [ ??? ] everywhere has enabled us to communicate on a higher level!! Besides, have you already forgotten episode 37?
Bringing joy to children and what now? –Don’t answer that!
[ He’s going to just put a hand over Zura’s mouth to keep him quiet for a bit. (Zura scowls and looks very offended, as much as that’s possible with the antlers still pointing comically to the side, but ultimately doesn’t bite or do anything else… for now.)
CLEARS THROAT ]
Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, Otherworlders! I hope you've all been good boys and girls or Satan won't be giving you any presents!
[ What-- What do you mean Satan? You are literally dressed as Santa. You were talking about Santa just a moment ago! You clearly know the difference! And, anyway, isn’t that supposed to be you? What’s the outfit for if you’re not committing completely? Did you two plan this at all?! (The answer is no.) ]
Remember to put out the cookies and milk for him. It’s a very long night to be working, you know.
[ He gives Zura a Look, then releases his mouth. ]
Does R*dolph want anything?
[ Zura gives him a Look back, seemingly contemplating just ignoring the question, but apparently his need for the spotlight beats his wish to give Gintoki the cold shoulder. ]
Soba.
[ Does this have anything to do with Christmas anymore? Are they just requesting snacks now? Are they going to be breaking into people’s homes and eating their food???
Gintoki sighs, putting his face in his hand. ]
Why did you insist on being part of this? It’s all messed up now.
[ You’re the one who messed it up first with the Satan thing! ]
You’re all messed up. [ He says, the antlers still hanging sideways. Poster boy of maturity, truly. ] I wanted to help spread the holiday cheer, but you had to steal all my best lines!
[ Isn’t that just the “ho ho ho”? Is that really the best both of you could come up with??
Gintoki drops his hand to snap: ]
IT WAS NEVER YOUR LINE TO BEGIN WITH!
[ DEEP BREATH. ]
Anyway, I didn’t make this just to spread holiday cheer. I’m Gintoki, if you didn’t know, and I need to get better at this whole magic thing if I’m gonna be of any use. [ And he points with a thumb at his reindeer. ] So does Zura, so–
[ This time, it’s Zura clasping a hand over Gintoki’s mouth so fast it almost looks a little hysterical. His smile also looks extremely forced. ]
I’m doing very well, actually, so there’s no need to worry about that–
[ Gintoki does not just accept the hand and immediately grabs Zura’s wrist to pull it away. Also going to keep holding that so he can’t just be silenced again. ]
What’s this? Are you saying training is useless?
Of– of course not!! [ He tries to tug his wrist free unsuccessfully then resigns to his fate and just lets it hang there in Gintoki’s brutish grip. ] Honing one’s skills is a lifelong journey! But it sounded a lot like you’re calling us useless, and I take offense to that!
[ With an exasperated sigh, Gintoki decides it’s not worth arguing more about it, lets Zura’s hand go (Zura immediately folds his arms across his chest again) and tries to wrap this disaster of an announcement up swiftly and painlessly. ]
Fine, fine, whatever! If you’re a spring or autumn power holder and you want a training partner, let us know. Thanks.
[ Then, he starts walking over to the phone to turn it off. Zura peeks out over his shoulder with a little wave. ]
Happy holidays!

[Yes, he is doing a video like a letter. Why? Well this is already a train wreck, might as well add more to it, right?]
All I want for Christmas is seeing Santa/Satan and Rudolph making out.
Seriously.
You two should just kiss already.
Sincerely,
Mike Lorlief
P.S.
I am available for Spring powers training if you can withstan the number of Wind puns I'm going to make.
We'll be breaking wind, windows, and the sound barrier.

I'm way more the Santa type than he ever will be. Get your facts right.
Santifer is way better than Satan-Santa.
un:happyaround
Do you guys still have to censor if it's in the... what's it called, public grain? No, that's not it.
Text | UN; JackOfAllTrades
That was so... so--]
Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!
What a fantastic display of a to-the-book straight man and idiot routine! I absolutely applaud you both on the stellar Holliday performance!
As for training, I am a new Spring user myself, and I have been meaning to learn how to utilize my abilities, but I never quite got around to figuring it out yet.
I think our interests happen to coencide quite conveniently~ ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧

that mention of "episode" Did Not Go Unnoticed--... Kiku can't help self. )

and to be honest even the cookies..... Well, you can't get it made much better than homemade by "Mister Japan", Can You?? ]
Video cw: Bestiality... implication??? idk what to put here but feel like I should warn lskdfhdsh
See, Gintoki could get flustered. Under normal circumstances, if someone implied he wanted to kiss Zura, he probably would have. Since they're dressed up and Mike put it that way, though, he's perfectly capable of waving off all those implications and respond with the blankest face possible. ]
Oi oi, you want Santa/Satan to kiss his reindeer? You're into that? You're into bestiality? That's real gross, dude.
Video
[ looks at username
looks at Lucifer ]
Ain't that you? Satan?
no subject
Maybe not, but do you think we can afford a lawsuit? Better safe than sorry. I see Hijikata's completely screwed up your expectations, because he keeps throwing copyrighted names around this and that way. Me and Zura won't be so careless.

thanks
youre talking to veterans of comedy
sounds great we should get started after new years (ﾉ￣_￣)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ
new year new us yanno

I guess there's no harm in it, huh. Now I gotta wonder if the real Santa-san reads the network. I mean, the kids in town all believe in him, so that had to have come from somewhere, and stuff shows up here all the time.
[Said earnestly even though she gets her entire household Santa presents every year...]
\o/
( Sometime after the date he might even find enough to do mochi pounding. Maybe either of you can find him then.... )
{
You could even try to sneak more food off Kiku but Kiku will probably just willingly give you some anyway}Re: Video cw: Bestiality... implication and general debauchery with these two
You got something against furries, Santa/Satan?

Either? How about both?
Ah-- Is that mochi?
[ It's obvious, really. Just a pleasant surprise! ]
reaction
[ Damn, they should request things on the network more often. ]
o7
[ Anyway. ]
[ That sure does look like someone pounding mochi right out on the street, and Katsura slows down a little as he spots it around the same time Gintoki does. ]
Either that or someone's rice really pissed them off. [ Never discard other possibilities! Even if they seem very unlikely. They are, as far as they're aware, speaking in Japanese of course. ] I was not aware the people here had the same tradition.
[ Sorry, Kiku, he's assuming you're an NPC... ]
text; un: fruitpunchsamurai
[ Aren't you the one assuming he was referring to you?! He never said which was which, did he? Are you embracing the role of idiot?! Why does this require a kaomoji??? ]
not here
background???
No no, that's a different guy, Gintoki. I've made the same mistake before and Lucifer-dono explained it to me. He's actually an angel, but his company was having regulatory troubles so he was forced to retire from the position early without compensation. [ That's certainly one way to decipher "fallen"... ] Satan appears to be more of a line manager type, like someone you would get if you combined Takach*n with a sumo wrestler and put him on a conveyor belt.
[ What kind of a Hell office drama is this? ]
reaction/background voice
Oi, are you calling me an animal, Gintoki? That sounds like you just said I'm an animal.
not here/he's being stared at from outside the screen lmao
1/? (This is okay too!!) -> Action
[ But is definitely expressing a lot in Japanese, which might sound more obvious as they get closer-- }
( Thing is, while Kiku somewhat had a great start, eventually... )
2/2
{ holding the mallet quite high above/past Kiku's head }
( Focus, Kiku, focus!! )
[ Okay THIS time Kiku avoided that happening again that exact way, but
Even without more obvious back cracking, it does seem like Kiku's still stunned in place a little-- Thankfully he didn't drop the mallet, at least ]
... I have to concentrate...!!
( and Kiku exclaims a bit to self, trying to pull the mallet into position again )
no subject
He coughs into his hand. ]
It was already screwed up thanks to his own mistakes. What kinda amateur only prepares one kind of toy?
no subject
[ leans in towards Zura with his hand cupped around his mouth ]
Is he all right in the head, do you think? Maybe we should leave him alone and pretend we didn't see anything.
[ Seriously, Kiku, why are you doing it that way? You don't have to lift it that high, you know! You can just do it normally! ]
