The Netiday Netvegas Raffle, 2018!

After a few minutes, the advisory screen abruptly disappeared, revealing a regular NormalNavi this time around, though with most of the Navi's body covered in a full-body Santa outfit, complete with stuffed belly and fake beard, the only indication that it was a NormalNavi was the sight of a NormalNavi's circular eyes peeking through the oversized Santa hat and massive white beard. It was apparently also very difficult to move around in, with how the Navi waddled about the stage. In the middle of the waddling, the unfortunate fellow very nearly fell over to the side, waving his arms about wildly before "MintT" from earlier ran onto the stage, helping him stabilize into at least a stable standing pose. The NormalNavi then held up something in his thickly gloved hands, and attempted to read something off of it, but the voluminous fake beard muffled his voice so much that nothing was immediately discernable. A screen then descended from the ceiling behind him, showing some results scrolling by, while the costumed Navi wobbled about, looking like he was about to pass out.

- Naomi Shimizu (Mettaur tier)

==============================

Well, I can't say those abs weren't worth flipping onto this. Glad my Navi's too busy to really ogle them, though...

I believe we should all hold ourselves to a higher standard than the lewdness I'm seeing on this program. I don't mean to be picky when you all are being so generous, but at the very least I expect these things to open up in full clothing. Neither of the hosts have been fully attired since this one started. Would you kindly dress in to some proper things before continuing the program? I know that you are only doing what you must to get eyes on the program, but please, consider this an appeal to your sense of manners and decency. Thank you, and my kindest regards.

You must be kidding me. I come home from 15 hours of serving the public, and THIS is what they give me? ‘Quality programming?’ For crying out loud, that holiday was a WEEK AGO! And don’t give me that ‘where’s your holiday spirit’ nonsense, I spend the better part of last week CLEANING UP parts of your so-called ‘holiday spirit’! It’s just an excuse for people to do what they want without any ramifications!
...ugh, not your problem. I do hope that AuctionMan gets what’s coming to him though.
I did see the chip give-away, and while Crony doesn’t need any chips, my brother certainly does; he needs all the help he can get. Please forgive the above, I’m sure it’s no fault of your own, and thank you.

The video feed was preceded by a long countdown, marking the end of event entries. When the countdown finally hit 0, the video feed turned back on!

AuctionMan was standing triumphantly(?) in front of the Great Raffle Wheel! Various words and phrases like 'PERVERT!' and 'GO DIE!' and 'CHAUVINIST PIG!' were scribbled, and then, it seemed, poorly erased, all over his body. To his left was LadyLuck, wearing her red Festive Tiny Bikini (and, curiously, the shibari ropes she had been tied up with earlier), and to the right was MintT, who appeared to be somewhere between embarrassed and petrified, wearing a matching Festive Tiny Bikini in dark Netiday green. "Hello, my adoring public!" Auctionman's voice boomed. "It has taken some time to reach an accord, but I am legally obligated to say that everything is now fine! It is time to draw this winter's Netiday celebrations to a close, with the help of my two lovely assistants!" AuctionMan gestured to both LadyLuck and MintT; the former rolled her eyes as she looked away, flipping blonde hair over her shoulder, and MintT bashfully waved to the camera.

"After much consideration and a period of time that rhymes with the phrase 'Montract Benegotiations', LadyLuck and MintT have agreed to help me close out this wonderful event by rolling two prize wheels at once! However, the contract says nothing about the shibari ropes! Care to explain, LadyLuck?" AuctionMan turned to face her, and the camera zoomed in, slowly panning up her body from her ankles to her chest. The camera finally settled on LadyLuck's face as she bit her lip, and she seemed to notice the camera at last. "Uh... I'm... feeling the Netiday spirit?"

"A CONTRACTUALLY ACCEPTABLE ANSWER!" AuctionMan bellowed. "Hit it, girls!"

Both LadyLuck and MintT grabbed and pulled their respective Netvegas Chance Roulette Wheels™. The camera tried to pan between them, focusing on first LadyLuck's outfit, and then MintT's, and then LadyLuck's, then MintT's, then finally AuctionMan seized the camera. "Careful there, friend, you'll make the viewers dizzy! Please, cast your gaze upon our wonderful RESULTS!"

"Ladies!!!" AuctionMan held up a note. "This just in! We've just received a SURGE of email entries! Quickly, spin the wheels harder! Harder I say!" He waved his arms,.
"I'm spinning as hard as I can! Jeez! Do you have any idea how this outfit rides up when you're sweaty!?" LadyLuck retorted.
"Mine is not... riding up so badly, LadyLuck. Perhaps if you removed the ropes-" MintT began.
"NEVERMIND I'M FINE LET'S GO!" LadyLuck spun her wheel again, her cheeks red.
"Remember, children! The truest gift you can give someone this Netiday season is a nascent love of bondage!" AuctionMan said, smiling.

Finally the camera panned back down, away from the prize scroll. MintT and LadyLuck were both out of breath, the wheels slowly coming to a stop after their last spins. LadyLuck was wearing a far, far deeper blush than before, but even MintT's face had reddened from exertion. They each walked up to either side of AuctionMan, and he threw an arm over each of the ladies' shoulders. "Well folks, that's about it from all of us!" AuctionMan began. "It's been a long and lonesome road..."

"You've had an entire studio crew here the whole time!" LadyLuck quipped.

"Truly, the worst struggle was having to do all of this by myself, completely unaided!" AuctionMan bemoaned.

"We... were just spinning... the wheels..." MintT said.

"But the record shoooooooooooooooows...." AuctionMan stepped forward, beginning to sing. "I tooook the bloooooooows..."

"Oh no." Both LadyLuck and MintT grimaced.

Huge speakers and subwoofers dropped onto the stage from above, and a microphone appeared in AuctionMan's hand. "COVER YOUR EARS!" LadyLuck warned, putting her hands to her head. "I don't have ears to cover!" one of the camera crew wailed distantly.

"AND DID IT MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" AuctionMan bellowed. Trumpets followed his voice, the combination loud enough to shake the entire room they were in. Screams rang out in the background, and someone screamed "Look oooout!" The camera panned directly upward, revealing part of the roof falling toward the camera... which then cut out, replaced with a shot of AuctionMan grinning and waving, dressed up like Santa. "Happy Netidays!" The closing placard read. Screams of terror could still be heard in the background along with the collapsing of the ceiling, as well as the increasingly-distorted notes of "My Way", still playing...
