Welcome to Gaia! ::

The jailbirds were taken to the warden’s office, again. This time, their number was four. HirunHikari had joined them. The warden’s sharp eyes flicked from one to the other.

“Now,” he intoned. “The answer. Why does the caged bird sing?”

Sakura glanced nervously around the room, then said in a quiet murmur, “The caged bird sings with fearful trill of the things unknown but longed for still, and its tune is heard on the distant hill, for the caged bird sings of freedom.”

The warden stared at her for a long moment. For once, he stopped fidgeting with his pipe.

Then, he coughed and finally replied. “Poetic, but no. A caged bird wouldn’t possibly sing for that.”

Sakura’s mouth dropped. “But…!”

Hirun nodded. “But of course! The caged bird sings because the early bird got the worm first, so now he’s jealous because he didn’t get it.”

The warden turned to Hirun. “Correct you are.”

Sakura’s mouth snapped shut. “What…?!”

“But because you know the answer to my question I propose that you, HirunHikari, are the sniper! For only a killer would know the answer to the question! Only the one whose feelings are caged, unable to express them without snapping and lapsing into murder and deceit would know the answer. Since you have provided the correct answer, you must be the sniper-”

BLAM

The new warden staggered and fell against his desk, clasping a bullet wound in his chest. He gasped. “You…!”

The jailbirds turned around to see the old warden holding a smoking rifle that looked like it had come from a Clint Eastwood movie.

“But you’re dead!” the Victorian-esque warden gasped.

“Am I not?” the old one said coldly. “It was just a flesh wound!”

“But this goes against all logic!”

“Who said this game was logical? But it is a game, and I will put an end to it,” he turned to the jailbirds. “You all are free to go. I have work to do.”

The jailbirds quickly scurried out of the jail cell. As they fled, they heard one last gunshot, and then there was silence. Once they stood outside, the three others stared at Hirun. He glanced to each of them and suddenly did a fairly good impression of the ninja emote. He grinned and pulled a sniper’s rifle from his clothes and turned to run.

“I’ll be back!” he yelled at them as he fled. “Just you wait-”

He stepped on a patch of ground that apparently was merely a cover for a very deep pit. He screamed for what seemed to be a long time, but it gradually grew fainter until it abruptly ended. On the side of the pit, close to the surface, the letters “CK” were carved into the side. It was an older pit, made before the Crazed Killer’s untimely demise. Thus, the killed killer killed one last time.

The Irony Gods were pleased.

Awesome death! xDD

*Applauds*

Absolutely fantastic

That was great


...people should stop accusing me ^^

...Best ending ever. xD

Although I'm saying this by default since this is the first one I've seen, it really is good. :3

Nice update IHD! Full of poetic justice and irony.

It's kind of ironic, if we had sheeped Hirun earlier he wouldn't've killed Insomniac, and this game could've lasted forever

Oh well. >3 Twas a nice, short game. XD Kinda guarnteed it was gonna be short with the early death of the CK and the early suspisicous of Hirun. xd sweatdrop Good Game I say. Except for the drama that was around but alls well that ends well? <3
