CHAPTER 1: At The Beginning…LENG and V.C. walk into the studio, and are immediately showered with snow.
V.C.: HEY!
LENG: ANGELO!
Angelo goes backstage, and catches Sakuragi fooling with the snow-machine's POWER button.
Angelo: Sakuragi! Don't touch that!
Sakuragi: Don't touch what?
Angelo: /shoves finger down on POWER button/ That!
An even larger cascade of snow bombs the evil writing duo.
LENG: Stop it or feel my wrath! Feel my TYPEWRITER'S wrath!
The snow immediately stops, and a pouting Sakuragi walks out, followed by the equally pouting Angelo.
V.C.: A lot of help your site partner is giving us.
LENG: I wanted to use my assistant, but NO! You said—
V.C.: Can it, LENG. Forget I said that. {For all I know, after what happened in the rehearsal, even Sakuragi will do a better job than Camcorder-crazy Li!}
LENG fishes out some typed notes (mercifully dry) and passes it to the SD cast.
Akagi: What's this?
LENG: Your roles and scripts.
V.C.: ANGELO NO BAKA! Where are the costumes?!
Angelo: Coming, ma'am!
V.C.: Fudge! I hate that kid!
LENG: So I notice....
Angelo staggers out with a box and starts handing out suits.
Angelo: Anzai Sensei! /passes Santa Claus outfit/
A.S.: Ohohohohoho…
Angelo: Little more Jolly and you'll do fine. AKAGI! /passes church choir robes/
Sakuragi: HAHA! Gori the Holy Man!
Akagi: mumble mutter cuss
Angelo: /takes out wet suit/ this must be mine…
Sakuragi: MUHAHAHA!
Angelo: Sakuragi! /tosses reindeer costume/
Sakuragi: ?!?!?!?!?!
SD cast: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Angelo: Kiyota, Sendoh, Mitsui, Ryota, Maki, Haruko, Fujima, Rukawa! /tosses more reindeer costumes/
SD cast: eerie silence
LENG: OK, peeps! Let's roll!
Rukawa: I'm not wearing this…
Sakuragi: For once, I'm with the Kitsune.
V.C.: Well, you're going to! It's for the kids, damn it!
