RACE TO A BILLION - REBIRTH - ROUND 28 [SIGNUPS WELCOME]

Alright, it's placed. And now we poke Spirit of Nightmare until he screams a number.

"SEVEN"


Well, now I have to get the calculator out. That's not nice.


Nature boi, where we going?

---

23

---

Bottom middle, in 23...


It's another low-ish bit of cash. Still 20 million off the 2nd place.


NXC, one good square will pop you over Spirit, and there are several squares that can do it! Find one!

---

number 3, please

---

Top-middle, in three...


It's only the goddamn jackpot!
Right, I'mma punch Spirit in the jaw.
"SIXTEEN, YA BASTARD!"
Oh shit! I just woke him up and now he's chasing me round the studio with a bit of plywood with a nail through it. Quick, show him what he's won before I end up an ex-host!


It's a minigame, Spirit! A lovely minigame with a top prize of fifty million! That's great, isn't it? Put down the board. PUT DOWN THE BOA---SECURITY!!


Now Nightmare's awake and securely restrained, we can continue. Nature, what do you want?

---

YISSSSS! I wanna be in!

oh god

---

24

---

Let's fill out a bit of that bottom row...


Nightmare lost it last time, could you crack the bank's vault?


We are now NXC!

---

uh hmmmmmmm 20

---

Popping up the road to 20...


All the fives, not a bid little earner.


We go back to Nightmare, who has now woken up, and I REALLY hope there's no hard feelings between him and I.

Me during hypnosis



Me after hypnosis, two rounds later



...oh, where was I? Oh yes! Open up hatch number 12 please

---

Hatch!? HATCH, boy? Square 12.


You love it.


Nature, you're in there.

---

6

---

Halve it up and we're heading to 6...


Oh shit! No assault on the leaders this time round!


NXC...we could be going 2 in a row!

---

*sweats

uh, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... number 1 please

---

There's a good reason you're sweating...


It's the bloody Tax Man! Hide your shit!

: What up, dickheads!

You sound drunk.

: And what a better time to do so! I bet the farm on a Conservative majority and now I'm richer than God! I've been dining on freshly-kicked swan all week, whilst all you poor bastards have been stuck at home. It's a ruddy terrible life, I know. You should all feel sorry for me, I've only had one game of golf this month. Even if it was on the moon, it's still only one game. I've made sacrifices too, you know!

I thought racoon paws can't pick up golf clubs!

: I can so! I may prove it if you like when I shove one up your ars-

Get on the fucking game.

: Alright, then, you flayed scrotum of a host. Your friends here have both been earning and forgot to declare their tax. 20% on all earnings over $500,000 earned this round. And ohohohohoh, there's A LOT of earnings!

What's the numbers looking like?

: Spirit of Nightmare, you've gained $3,746,912 this round. Take off $500k, and at 20% tax, I'll have $649,382, thank you! I told you I'd bloody get you!
NXC, you've gained *heavy breathing* $10,555,555 this round. Take off $500k, and at 20% tax, I'll be taking *gasp* $2,011,111!! Good Lord, I'm going to buy SO MANY FRIVOLOUS THINGS with this! God bless capitalism! Toodles!


Spirit of Nightmare...the cold yet strangely fuzzy hand of the Tax Man cometh and goeth. Can you make your money back?

---

Oh, that smarts. I guess I should try... number 21?
Oni-91, open the case!

---

You trying to rile me, son? I wouldn't do that if I was you. In 21...


It's low money. It's safe, for now.


NXC, you got kinda reamed by the tax man, but I guess losing 2 million after gaining 10 is fine? Where to next?

---

15 maybe?
