In a small room two figures were setting up a screen for a projector, behind them was a small table with three plates, and three pairs of knives and forks lying on top of it, paper chains and tinsel hanging from the ceiling. One of the figures turned around to look at you. It was KT7, who smiled and waved at you.
KT7: RAM, RAM! They're here!
The other figure turned around, having just set the screen up, revealing herself as KT's best friend and co-worker, RAM, she gave a flustered smile as she adjusted her suit, both girls were wearing festive attire, with KT7 wearing green and red shorts, a red cardigan, and a crown of holly on her head, and RAM wearing a dark green suit and a red tie.
KT7: Hello again, thank you for all of the support that you have given us throughout the year!
RAM: There have been a few peaks and troughs in terms of the upload schedule from master, so let's see how much we've achieved from last year.
RAM pressed a button on the remote in her hand, causing the projector to light up the screen.
RAM: All fanfics are in alphabetical order

Mysterious project- not achieved, conditions have not yet been met
RAM: from these projects that were discussed last year, master has managed to achieve 5 of these targets and failed to achieve the other 5, so overall he has managed to accomplish 50% of what he set out to achieve this year.
KT7: He's also been quite busy the last couple of months, so sorry for any delays to whatever series you're following.
RAM: These irregular updates will also likely continue into next year, as such, master's targets for next year are more modest than last year.
RAM clicked a button on her remote changing the slide on the screen

RAM: Well, all that's left to say is-
KT7: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
RAM: …and a happy new year.
The two robots began putting the projector away
RAM: Do you have to keep doing that every year?
KT7: But…but it's Christmas, everyone should celebrate Christmas.
RAM: That doesn't mean you have to yell down my ear!
By now the projector and the screen were both put away
KT7: I wonder where master has gone?
RAM: I was wondering that too, he shouldn't take this long to find a turkey and a tree
At that moment the door opened and I stepped into the room.
ZX4KTX: Hello girls!
KT7: MASTER!
KT7 ran over and almost tackled me to the floor, RAM however just stood with her hands on her hips.
RAM: And where have you been?
ZX4KTX: Don't worry, I managed to get a turkey
I placed the bird on the table, KT7 letting go of me to stare at the turkey in amazement.
RAM: Well, that's more like it, now where's the tree?
ZX4KTX: Well…we don't really need a tree do we…?
Both of the girl were giving me annoyed looks
KT7: Master…
RAM: Where is the tree…?
I pulled something from behind my back and placed it on RAM's hands
KT7: Is that it?!
RAM: It's just a twig!
ZX4KTX: No it's not, see there are branches
RAM and KT stared closely at the 'tree'
KT7: Where…?
ZX4KTX: There
I pointed towards the area where there were branches. RAM and KT stared even closer.
RAM: I think you mean branch, singular
ZX4KTX: Huh…? I wonder where the other one went…?
RAM: Master…
ZX4KTX: It doesn't matter does it? As long as we've got each other, that's all that matters
RAM: No! You already tried that excuse last year, no turkey for you this year, and from now on, you'll no longer be the one to fetch the tree and turkey
I sat in the corner in a fetal position, sniffing.
ZX4KTX: O-okay…
RAM gave a sigh.
RAM: Anyways, merry Christmas master.
KT7: Merry Christmas master
I quietly replied
ZX4KTX: Merry Christmas girls.
