Welcome to Gaia! ::

Happy Friday, EI moguls! This week, we're going to recap the new EI that was just discovered, as well as reveal a brand new band-themed REI called S-Pop Club! First up, Modus Operandi, a brand new collaboration EI that'll be completed by multiple artists. It's based on a series of strange, dark tales involving a number of murdered princesses in a quiet kingdom, and the curmudgeonly detective working to find a motive:

Modus Operandi takes place in a faraway kingdom where a third princess has just been murdered. The local police working the case-- Officers Straw, Sticks, and Bricks-- are baffled. Serial homicide, in their little kingdom? They decide to call in help in the form of Detective Wolfe, an expert criminal profiler with an enormous file of known felons, and as the cops soon discover, an abnormally bad attitude.

Upon examining the scene and photos of the previous murders, Wolfe quickly discovers the connecting link: a scrawled "happily ever after" in the princess' blood. A clue to the motive, or the signature of a dangerous serial killer? Peculiar, the officers think, that no one saw these notes until Wolfe arrived on the scene. Meanwhile, Wolfe's presence in the kingdom attracts attention. Some local reporters take interest in documenting Wolfe's progress on the murders, promising to make the investigation even more difficult for the officers.

As Wolfe continues his investigation on the field, the police return to their station and begin to sort through Wolfe's index of killers, finding each one more horrifying than the last...

S-Pop Club, a cute and spunky Skull Pop trio, just signed a major record deal and are hitting the music scene in a big way! They're gearing up to release songs and merchandise that all culminate into a huge live concert. First, their label will turn some of their greatest hits into music videos to help them gain popularity, and fashions from their first hit, the high school-inspired "Txt Me U Luv Me," have just dropped! Choose between jamming as a vocalist, guitarist, or drummer, and be a part of the most exciting pop phenomenon in ages! There hasn't been this much interest in a band since the time The Cranky Grandpas made music history by having two band members struck by lightning during the same show!

That covers the two huge EI developments from this week, what'd you think? Crack those big ol' strong knuckles of yours and let us know over at the weekly EI poll! See you next time, folks!
