Welcome to Gaia! ::

Deep inside a theatre musty, far behind the props so dusty,
Stood a sniper and their trusty rifle calibre point-two-four,
Far below stood poor old `Kashi, in amongst the wishy-washy,
Actors, dancers and musicians littering the ballroom floor.
He was bored, and nothing more.

The sniper grinned their evil grin, for the room `Kashi was in,
Was as dark and crowded as a concert piece by Andy Moore,
And as they took aim on his throat, the sniper gave a silent gloat,
As kashi bent unwittingly to retrieve something from the floor,
A lucky penny on the floor.

It happened as if in slow motion, Kashi hadn't any notion,
That the bullet sped to-wards him with a speed above mach four,
The bullet quickly pierced his left cheek, with such ease for flesh is so weak,
Leaving poor old kashi to fall silently upon the floor,
He was sniped, and nothing more.

An Opera house is alot of fun to explore. You can have all the free popcorn you want, climb up on really high walkways, and shout extremely loudly in the large theatres. After a day or two, you are sick to your stomach, have vertigo, and are hoarse.

As can be imagined, the Opera Housemates were feeling the initial effects of cabin fever, and there was a consensus desire to get out. They of course realised the armed police wouldn't let them out until they found and isolated the killers.

"I get all of that," A Dragonflys Sin explained calmly, "But why me?"
"Because you said my G notes were flat in your review!" Hirun poked her several times in the cheek for dramatic effect.
"And I saw sneaking out of a theatre with a big suspicious trunk today." The trunk was of course full of old clothes and props, but to Roy Salamandra, this didn't matter.
"ANDANDAND, you were the first person to leave the scene of the original murder. That is waaaay suspicious." This wasn't actually true, but Meru would be damned if there was a bandwagon she hadn't jumped on.
"Oh whatever." Sin allowed herself to be shoved into the jail-theatre, where Dukes promptly took offence to her entrance.

The crazed killer had really outdone themself this time. The room in which they stood was officially room XIXVV, but it was known to all staff as the "Sonic Death". Inside this room was the Opera house's most prized possession, a Krell 4113.1 Surround Sound speaker system.

The Crazed Killer adjusted some levers and knobs, then turned the system on. It crackled to life, and began emitting a low, constant tone throughout the entire Opera House. The CK continued to adjust various settings, and the pitch of the tone began to warble.

Meanwhile, Azrael Makar noticed a dull throbbing in his head, and began to rub it gingerly. The CK could of course see this on the live security feed, and knew they had found the frequency of his heartbeat. They increased the volume, watching Azrael clutch at his chest and spine, puzzling over where this sensation was coming from. The CK grabbed a microphone, and turned on the mic feed. Azrael felt the final words "Goodbye Makar. We'll miss you." resonating in his skull before all went black.

Had anyone bothered to check the weekly programme, they would have seen the following play advertised:
"Now showing in Theatre VII:
Lé Sniper- Played by a person whose name is more than two syllables"

Unfortunately, most of the programmes had been used as kindling, and so the people whose names were two or less syllables continued to face persecution.


`Kashi has been sniped.
A Dragonflys Sin has been jailed.
Azrael Makar has been Crazily Killed.
