"An announcement from your old leader", initially titled "My album announcement" before being renamed, is a high quality lore video and announcement for the album Stingy's Highest Quality Rips: Volume Mine.
Content[]
The video begins as a standard announcement video with narration from Stingy, who reflects on his experiences running the SiIvaGunner channel for the past month. He reasons that for the amount of time that he had been the channel's host, he would be obligated to release a new album. As such, he is announcing his new album to fulfill his obligations.
Stingy's announcement is interrupted by faint knocking as the video switches to a format similar to "Cognitive Dissonance". The knocking is revealed to have been caused by The Joke-Explainer™ 7000, who returned to the Rental Storage Facility to retrieve her personal belongings. Stingy refuses to return Joke-Explainer's belongings, claiming that everything in the Rental Storage Facility is his. The Joke-Explainer unsuccessfully tries to reason with Stingy to get her laptop and the channel back from him, and learns that he had been operating the channel and uploading rips himself for the past month.
When Joke-Explainer proposes making an agreement with Stingy on the returning of her items, he writes down a legal agreement on a math worksheet. The Joke-Explainer reads the legal agreement and reluctantly signs it, which gives her permission to retrieve her laptop at the cost of all her other possessions. Stingy thanks Joke-Explainer for agreeing to his terms and runs off with her pillows, mocking her for not reading the fine print of his legal agreement. The Joke-Explainer contemplates chasing Stingy, but decides it isn't worth it before receiving a call from Dr. Andonuts. Andonuts asks why she was out for longer that she originally said she would, to which she replies that she was taking care of a few things before heading back to her new living space.

Greetings, peasants! According to my new computer, I've been running SiIvaGunner's channel for over a month now, with plenty of high quality rips all belonging to me! [The video changes to the style of the Christmas Comeback Crisis as the screen depicts the Joke-Explainer standing outside of the Rental Storage Facility.] JK-EX-7000:
Is someone in there? Hello? The Joke-Explainer knocked on the door again, to the response of rustling and murmuring from inside the storage unit. What could possibly be happening in there...? Is somebody tying to tamper with her stuff? JK-EX-7000:
I'm opening the door! Fair warning! Joke-Explainer hooked the handle and slid the door upwards, looking through the opening - and matching a pair of annoyed eyes, glaring daggers into her. Stingy:
May I help you? JK-EX-7000:
H-Hi! May I ask why you're in this storage unit? JK-EX-7000:
I'm The Joke-Explainer 7000! I'm a robot designed for the purpose of explaining the jokes of SiIvaGunner rips! Stingy:
So that's where I recognize you from. You're an electronic device? JK-EX-7000:
Yes, that's correct. Stingy:
We can come back to that. What can I get for you? JK-EX-7000:
I'm here to retrieve my laptop, as well as some other things. Could you please move out of the way, so I can gather my belongings? Stingy:
You want me to give you YOUR belongings? Hah! I think you'll find that everything in this room is mine, now! JK-EX-7000:
...what? Stingy:
That's right! It all belongs to me, property of Stingy, KING of LazyTown! JK-EX-7000:
Oh... and that's why I recognize you. JK-EX-7000:
Stingy, these aren't "your" belongings. Stingy:
Mm, I don't see why not. "Finders, keepers," if you ask me. JK-EX-7000:
B-but this place is meant to store other peoples'- Stingy:
Perfectly good stuff, left strewn about! Stingy:
And what a terrible mess you left! How does ANYONE live like this? JK-EX-7000:
I was... moving out? Stingy:
Oh, really. That's interesting. Joke-Explainer started flipping the flap of her pocket up and down. This conversation really can't end soon enough. Stingy:
And SiIvaGunner's channel, too! Completely unchecked! Abandoned! And worth thousands of billions! I just had to take control of it! Stingy:
So as KING STINGY, I have declared the channel to be… mine! Joke-Explainer's joints froze. JK-EX-7000:
You've been... uploading rips to the channel? Stingy:
Yep! My computer, my channel, my rips, my schedule! JK-EX-7000:
...huh. And- Stingy:
And you can't have it. Joke-Explainer pondered for a moment. This... makes things more complicated. JK-EX-7000:
A primary part of my directive during recent events has been to find a sustainable alternative long-term channel host. JK-EX-7000:
You technically meet those qualifications with what you've done here, but... JK-EX-7000:
Please... give me my laptop back? Please give me my laptop back. Stingy:
And deprive me of access to MY channel? JK-EX-7000:
...I guess? Stingy:
But I can't upload to my channel without my laptop. JK-EX-7000:
But it's my laptop! Stingy:
Nope! It's mine! Joke-Explainer stared off at the brick wall behind the storage unit, intermittently looking at the brick wall in front of her. She does not want to have this conversation anymore. She strengthened her resolve. This conversation could realistically go one of two ways, and she has to make a decision now if this conversation is going to end. JK-EX-7000:
Taking everything under your possession isn't going to fill any hole in your heart, Stingy. JK-EX-7000:
I know times have been rough around here for the past... few hours, but I know that you're a good-natured child. JK-EX-7000:
You can share! And you're capable of doing so much good, if you just allow yourself to show empathy to others around you. I have faith in you! JK-EX-7000:
So please... for the betterment of us both, can you give me back my things? Stingy:
Hmm... no. JK-EX-7000:
...no? Stingy:
Nope! Joke-Explainer takes immense damage... emotional damage! 0 HP of damage to Joke-Explainer! Well, trying the other way couldn't hurt. JK-EX-7000:
Okay, there has to be some way for us to come to an agreement about this. Stingy:
...oh! An agreement? JK-EX-7000:
Yes. Stingy:
A... legal agreement? JK-EX-7000:
...yes? Stingy:
Wait here. JK-EX-7000:
Of course. Stingy ran back into the storage unit and started mashing keys on Joke-Explainer's - his? - laptop. He came out of the storage unit with a single piece of printer paper, holding it towards her. Stingy:
Read this. JK-EX-7000:
...a math worksheet? Stingy:
No, the other side. JK-EX-7000:
Ah. Stingy:
If you want MY stuff, you have to agree to MY terms! JK-EX-7000:
But it's my stuff! Stingy:
That's what I said! It's mine! Joke-Explainer scans the terms and conditions. She gets her laptop back, she loses a couple of things, and... whatever. JK-EX-7000:
...sure. That's... fine. Before she could compute what was happening, Stingy snatched the paper out of Joke-Explainer's hands. Stingy:
Thank you! You are free to come inside, pick up your laptop, and leave your non-laptop valuables in the storage unit. JK-EX-7000:
Right, yes, that's what it says. Stingy:
Thank you for agreeing! ...and thanks for the free pillows! JK-EX-7000:
W-Wait! But where did it say- huh? Stingy:
Always read the fine print! Hahahaha! JK-EX-7000:
But I just got those! Joke-Explainer considered chasing him down before realizing that... wow, it's really not worth it. She decides to make a mental note for later - never underestimate what peoples' capabilities are around here. ...and make sure that you lock doors behind you. Before her thought process can go any further, a request to connect reaches her transmitter. JK-EX-7000:
Hello? Dr. Andonuts:
Joke-Explainer? Hello? Can you...? JK-EX-7000:
I can hear you! Dr. Andonuts:
Hi! Just, uh, checking in. Dr. Andonuts:
Where are you? You've been out for longer than you said you would. JK-EX-7000:
I was... I was just taking care of a couple of things from my storage unit. JK-EX-7000:
I'm heading back now. Dr. Andonuts:
Alright! Uh... get back safely, okay? JK-EX-7000:
I'll... try my best, Doctor. I'll be back as soon as I can! Dr. Andonuts:
See you then. [The Joke-Explainer disappears and the screen fades to black as the video ends.]
