Welcome to Gaia! ::

Every forum was buzzing with intensity, as well as the guilds, eagerly anticipating the "new" feature, which up until just recently had been well kept under wraps with only small leaks here and there. Rumers and half-truths.

"It's just an upgrade for towns..."
"No way! It's GOT to be the Battle System this time!"
"Are you kidding me? It's been YEARS!"
"I hear it's a whole new town!"
"Really? Maybe it's finally a storyline update, there hasn't been one in FOREVER!"

But nobody really had any idea what was in store for their dear little home in the huge wide internet.

Finally, though, it was time. The little announcement bubble popped up in the corner.

I, (insert username here), agree to the Terms of Service Agreement operated by the Gaian Sniper Virtual Gaming System Co. and agree to follow all of the rules applied by the Game Moderator and Crew Members of the Gaian Sniper Virtual Gaming System Co. during Game 27 of the Gaia Community Sniper Game.

Almost as soon as MonJ Redux/Sky BIue signed on for the first time, he caught sight of the Bleeding Fountain as it was now being called, immediately, his screen blinked red and the word BANNED flashed across it.

"What are you talking about! I barely logged on and I'm already being accused of a death! WTFBBQROFLSAUCE!" he screamed as his screen slowly went black.

He pulled off the helmet with a contorted look on his face and threw it across the room.

"Screw this, I'm playing WoW instead..."



Mylian, the spoony bard, logged into the Isle de Gambino Area, it was the perfect place to write spoony songs about the sea and other such things of the like. He sat near a palm tree and took out a small spiral bound notebook. Penciling in spoony rhymes and lyrics, he drifted of to a quiet slumber.

A chilly wave splashed up onto his spoony feet and quickly woke poor Mylian from his slumber. Grabbing his notebook, he dashed off to get far away from the lyric destroying water.

"Hey Mylian!" called Turtle_Devil, his Bard counterpart, "Write any good songs lately?"

"Well, I fell asleep by the shore, but I did manage to sketch out a few lines..." he said as he sifted through the many pages of his notebook.

With Turtle over his shoulder, he paged to a spot where there were red blotches.

"Hmm, I don't remember those!" he said...



"Should we check out the Archives?" asked Turtle.

"Might as well!"



With their Admins untimely death, everything was in uproar. Who would organize the beta? Who killed him? Who would protect the others? WHO STOLE THE COOKIES FROM THE COOKIE JAR!?

Well, as Sae25 already knew, it's hard to be a hero, but she was the only hero around. Super Sae they called her, mostly with snickering and giggling included, and it kinda went to her head. Sae showed up at the Beta Release with cape and mask in tow, to even more snickering and giggling. Currently, Sae was running around the various Barton Areas searching for the killers.

The Barton Trench Area was quite a nice place to search out prey it turned out.

"Too bad we don't need any heroes here!" said the Sniper to themselves, "The hunter becomes the hunted."

Sae slowly and carefully traversed the very last and highest rickety bridge. Slipping on the first step, she let a faint obscenity slip loose and her mask went tumbling earthward as well, down to the bottomless Barton Trench.

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

Sae barrelrolled out of the way and quickly grabbed onto the side rope just in time as the bullet snapped one of the supporting ropes.

"Let's see you try that again, vile fiend!" Sae shouted.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Too bad," said the Sniper as they loaded shot number two, "Don't be a hero!"

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

Try as she might to avoid the bullet, there wasn't anywhere to run. Square in the forehead and hundreds of feet to fall.



Upon arriving at the Barton Town Area, Mylian and Turtle_Devil ran for the Archive Building. There inside lay rows and rows upon books of various sizes, ranging from human sized to things that you could eat and not even notice you did!

Laying open was one of those larger books, about the size of a garage door. Laying between the pages was Merriweather. The blood just sort of pooled there as it was quickly absorbed by the thirsty, old pages. Muffled grunts came from underneath the books heavy cover.

"Help me move this!" shouted Mylian and they both lifted the heavy gilded book.

"That was close! I was so certain that he was after me!" cried AppleBlossom19.

The Programmer has struck!



tl;dr
#49 MonJ Redux/Sky BIue, the Pmuutmicdan was banhammered.
#52 Sae25, the Hero was sniped.
#42 Merriweather, the Book Nerd was crazily killed.

Mylian the spoony bard was very distraught after the past two days events, he had seen way too much blood and way too many deaths. The songs had finally left him and so had Turtle_Devil, she had turned on him as well.

"It has to be Mylian, IT ALL FITS NOW!"
"LOLOLOLOL!"

Soon after the accusations had flown, a report was sent in. Mylian's virtual helmet finally turned red and then to black.

No more songs for THIS spoony bard.



Anael de Ezra logged into the Durem Area early in the morning. She had been getting things ready ever since. She had explored the deep bowels of the Durem Area and had even built herself a Secret Base in a dark alleyway. It was a fairly simple hideout, but she had the Gold to spare on it. Emerging from her dark tunnel, she glanced at the Durem Clocktower.

"Almost noon..." she mumbled, "I wonder what Apple is up to..."

When everyone had first logged on, AppleBlossom19 and Anael de Ezra had gone straight for each other. Where there was one ninja, there was strength, but where there were two, there was strength in numbers. So, Anael set up base in Durem and Apple set up her Secret Base just outside of Barton in the Barton West Field Area. Somehow, Anael had convinced Apple to take a walkie-talkie with her despite Apple's resistance.

"Apple..." she spoke into the device.
Static.
"Apple? You there?"
Static again.



Lurking around Hannibal's Cafe, located just inside the Aekea Area, Unphotographable was doing some shifty business. But what other kind of business was there to do when you were a slutty spy?

"Hey! Photo! It's about time you showed up down here!" spoke a figure.

"Shhh! I'm not here remember?" he replied.

"Oh right, right! Step inside and we'll get to business..."

The figure held open a door and in went Unphotographable. There inside was a white screen and a camera set up and ready to go.

"You still agree to our terms? Photos for secrets?"

"Psshhh, this is all basics. Of course I am!" Photo replied.

Almost as fast as the GD reports trolls, Photo was already stripped down to his Dancer Bottoms. He walked out in front of the camera and started doing his stretches, so as to not cramp up. The figure went underneath one of those black cape things attached to the back of the camera, it was a very old fashioned camera for this present time.

"What dumpster did you fetch that old wreck out of?" asked Photo jokingly.

"Oh, you'll see..."

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

Unphotographable flew back and hit the white screen behind him. All of his slutty spy training hadn't prepared him for this. He collapsed on the ground and the screen fell on top of him. A single gold disk rolled out from his Dancer Bottoms. A solid gold G coin.

A G-Teamer was dead...

"Damned pr0n industry... Always corrupting new talent."



Ezzie logged into the Barton West Field Area and immediately knew that Apple was no longer there. Apple was a ninja, but a novice at best... She took a few steps and glanced to the ground. Bloody footsteps.

"Well, that doesn't give anything away..." she said.

Glancing back up, there was a large tree straight across from her, the largest in the Area. There was a huge knot in the middle of it too, but that wasn't where she was looking. A single note was pinned to the tree. Ezra approached and ripped it clean off.



Looking up into the tree, a small drop of blood landed on her face. There, tied to the many limbs of the tree were various body parts... and a head. Apple had a look of absolute horror on her face, but it soon vanished as she was digitized into thin air.



After all of the horrific events had taken place, a couple of Beta Testers were terrified beyond belief. Sending back the virtual helmet after packaging it all up, they informed the Gaia Online Admins that they would no longer be participating.



tl;dr
#34 Unphotographable the Slutty Spy and a G-Teamer has been sniped.
#31 Appleblosson19 the Woodland Grass Ninja has been crazily killed.
#41 Mylian the spoony Bard has been banhammered.
#40 Azrael Makar the Time Mage and #62 pottersprincess the Chrestomanci have been removed due to inactivity.

It was reluctantly that Ismaru logged on that night knowing that he would soon be banned from the virtual world. Taking in one last sight, he glanced over the whole virtual land in the Barton Trench Area.

"I'll miss this..."

Slowly, his helmet glowed red and faded quickly to black...



After so long of contemplating this latest kill, the Crazed Killer was determined! They concocted an elaborate scheme of mimicking the Sniper. The Crazed Killer hauled the sniper rifle around looking for the appropriate target. This would be the only time they would allow themselves to bee seen. But it was all good, it was night here in the Virtual World...

"Ah, there we go!"

There was Kitty_Krazy right there standing under a lone street light in the middle of the Durem Area.

"Fatal? Is that you?" she asked.

"Yeah, right..."

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

There was a glow in front of the Killer and there appeared buzzkid24 right in front of Kitty. The shot him him square in the chest. Buzz's body flew backwards and landed on top of Kitty.

"OMG!" she yelled.

"Damn that freakin' Programmer..."

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

Another shot rang out. Right through Kitty's forehead.

"You had better try your shot better next time, Killer..."

"Yeah, shut up..."



tl;dr (xD Ironic, right?)
#25 Ismaru was banninated.
#22 Kitty was sniperofl'd.
#59 buzzkid24 was killerificifascited.

#58 xCherryFrostx has been malfunctioned. (DEAD!)

I never got a reply from articuno, so I RNG'd it...

Fortenra Askasa had been hard working all day on the food preparation for the following day. With an employee dead, i.e. [Moseley], it was obvious that they were short handed at Hannibal's Cafe. Business was also in a slump due to the number of deaths piling up in the Aekea Area.

"I can't stand it anymore, Fort. I need a smoke..." screamed Aine as she threw her waitress tray into the corner.

Fort just rolled his eyes and wiped the sweat from his brow. It was tough working with a half human, half cat creature, and on top of that, having them as a pre-Madonna... Fort threw a few loaves of bread in the oven and put on the Soup of the Day, Red Hot Chili Pepper. He grabbed himself a cold can of Red Bino and raised a spoon to take a taste of the fresh soup. It was a wonderful blend of the freshest---

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

Dropping the spoon and the Red Bino into the pot, Fort rushed out the back door. Aine lay with her back propped up against the back wall of the new lime green paint, you know, the stuff that was hard to look at, with a blood spatter across it.

A single sheet of paper fell from the sky...



"Well, why let it go to waste!" Fort said and hoisted the body onto his shoulder, "Aine Pie, here we come!"



Tedie Behr had just logged into the Aekea West Area and without warning the crowd soon scrambled after her. With nowhere else to turn, she headed straight for the bridge. Scheming, she thought up a plan to destroy the bridge after she had crossed so that she would be safe on the other side.

Suddenly, though, it looked like that wouldn't be a possibility after all. On the other side of he bridge stood a second crowd ready to stop her in her tracks...

"Heh," she smirked as she ran towards them even harder, "I won't leave quietly..."

Coming to a dead stop in the center of the bridge, Tedie the Mad Scientist pulled out a Vial of Strange Liquid and threw it to the floor of the bridge.

"MWAHAHAHAHA!" she cried as her helmet turned crimson and black.

After the bottle broke open, it immediately consumed the bridge and started to eat away at the surrounding land and water.

"What has she done!" screamed Shiivon, "She's doomed us all!"

In multiple white glows, Beta Testers logged out of the area. The data was starting to corrupt. Purple and black began to fill the area. Soon, there was nothing left of the area. Unfortunately, one Beta Tester was unable to escape the horrible fate. Akai was eaten alive in the corruption and his data file erased, never to be seen again.

The damage spread and soon, Moderators started to note the damage. After eating it's way half into the Barton East Area, they put in place a firewall. It wouldn't hold the data corruption in place for long though, they feared.



Salvinorin A sat in the middle of the Great Wall of Gambino Area and meditated. She had warned the others of the danger, yet they remained unconvinced. Visions blurred past her and she fought to keep up with the images.

A flash of light here, a blood spatter there. Oh my, this was a bad one alright. Concentrating, Salvinorin continued to contemplate the images. Popping her eyes open, she glanced down. Her arms and legs appeared translucent. She was invisible.

"WWWWHHHAAARRRRGGG!!!!"

The blood curdling scream rang throughout the area. Heart Shaped Toastie lay on the ground, beaten and bloody. The Killer stood over her and continued to attack. Toastie's screams continued to ring. Shocked into paralysis, Salvinorin could do nothing to aid her and she thought it best to stay invisible in case the killer was willing to go after a second victim.

Finishing the job, the Killer logged out of the area as fast as data could flow. Toastie continued to scream. Sal stood up, still invisible and walked over. Toastie's eyes were red and her skin seemed to have a strange tint to it. Perhaps that bite from Ginji did more than just draw blood. Her midsection had been torn open and toast was dropped into the open wound.

Soon, the screams subsided and Toastie's body was digitized. Salvinorin was left there alone. Falling to her knees, she could sense another soul in danger.



Unphotographable blinked and watched more and more bodies flow into the purple-black void that was they're prison in this world. Soon, Slumber_Sweetly regained consciousness as well, but this wasn't the only breakthrough. Water started to flow into the void and land started to appear. It seems as if the Malfunction was starting to affect the world instead of just the players now...



tl;dr
#09 Heart Shaped Toastie the Druid has been crazily killed.
#21 `Aine Chevious the Assassin has been sniped.
#45 Tedie Behr the Mad Scientist has been banned.
#65 Akai_Uchiha the Headhunter has gone inactive.

Since the death of her partner Appleblossom19, Anael de Ezra had been keeping pretty much to herself in her cozy little corner of the Durem Area. She no longer felt safe outside of her headquarters. She felt the need to reach out and contact someone for help, assistance, alliance.

"There's gotta be someone I still trust..." she spoke, shuddering, as she looked over the Beta Tester List.

Running her finger up and down the list going over everyone in her head. She crossed names off and starred the suspicious figures. This game was out of control, so many people that she knew and cared for were dying left and right and it was those same people that she knew and loved that were doing the killing off...

"AH-HAH!" she shouted in jubilation.



Logging into the safest place in the new Virtual World, Amigox3 wandered around the Isle de Gambino Area. The Area was kind of deserted, only a few Beta Testers left here and there. The new world was turning into a literal ghost town, especially with the sudden outbreaks of the virus destroying it. Amigo sat on the West Beach and simply watched the waves ebb and flow. It was peaceful, relaxing.

"Amigo!" yelled a handful of people from behind him, "We're reporting you!"

Not even turning around to see who was accusing him, he simply let it sink in. Opposed to all of the chaos going on around him, the beach was a nice change and it was nice to be leaving on a middle note, instead of a low one.

The shoreline became less serene as it turned a dark shade of crimson. Eventually, Amigo just shut his eyes to avoid seeing it fade to black...



As she approached the bizarre circus tent in Aekea, Ezra's heart pounded in her chest, this was her last chance at surviving this horrible world...

Upon entering it past the flaps, she saw Help The Bombardier swinging from bar to bar in the air. After she had safely gotten off of the bars, she climbed higher to the tightrope where she placed a unicycle and started to traverse it.

"Hey, Bom!" shouted Ezra.

"Ezzie?" she said as she looked down from her perch, "Hold on! I'll be down in a second!"

And almost literally in a second, Bom had biked the rope and had climbed down the ladder to the ground so gracefully. A wave of relief fell over Ezra immediately, a feeling she hadn't felt in a long time.

"So, what's up?" Bom asked.

"I need some help..."

After a long conversation, Ezra and Bom had both come to a conclusion, they would look out for each other and warn each other if something suspicious came up. Ezra pulled out a blood spattered walkie-talkie and handed it to Bom.

"Here, this was Apple's. If you need to get into contact with me, just call."



Sanity Eater logged into the Halloweentown Area, it was really one of her favorites. She came here on occasion to unwind and just get into the general spirit of fall and Halloween itself.

"Too bad Hannibal's isn't located here..." she said with a sigh.

Walking to the nearest vendor, she purchased a Tonic and sat on the edge of the well in the Area. Just hearing the gurgling coming up from the well was relaxing. She smiled and sipped from her Tonic. It was delicious despite the apparent lack of quality in the preparation.

"Oh well, it'll do." she said as she closed her eyes and took another sip.

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

And it was her last. Tumbling backwards with a hole in her forehead, Sanity dove backwards into the very well that she was so interested in. The gurgling, this time, was not as relaxing though...

Later that day after hearing the horrible news, Hatmaster logged into the area with a bouquet of flowers. Wrapped snugly in a paper wrap, the white roses blossomed in the warmth of the Halloweentown Area. A single note was attached to the side. Hat walked up to the well, stared down into it and dropped the flowers one by one and eventually, the note as well.

'For a Fallen Friend.'



Bom heard a shot ring out through the air, the Sniper had claimed another victim. Quickly descending the ladder, Bom ran to the walkie-talkie sitting near her belongings.

"Ezzie?" she called into it, "EZZIE?!"

With a white glow, Bom disappeared into thin air. Reappearing in the Durem Area, she glanced up at the Clocktower.

"Oh my dear..." she stuttered as she dropped the walkie-talkie to the ground.

There upon the hands of time, the body of Anael de Ezra was held. Blood dripped onto the clock and the ground and a single drop fell onto the walkie-talkie on the ground.



tl;dr
#23 Sanity Eater the Dark Knight has been sniped.
#03 Anael de Ezra the Urban Ninja has been crazily killed.
#14 Amigox3 the Sentinel has been banhammered.
#55 1119king the Civilian has gone inactive.

Guccigirl logged into the Durem Area. Even though she knew she was risking her life, she knew she was bound to be banned any moment now...

Every shop that she visited turned her away, it was as if everyone knew something, some evidence that pointed to her, but it didn't make sense to her, nothing matched up...

Soon, as she sat on a bench and glared at the blood-stained Clock Tower, her helmet turned to red and then to black...



It was obvious to him, that they needed to find these killers immediately. The situation had become even more dire. The corruption of data was spreading and more Beta Testers were kicking the bucket. Sibeiko logged into the safest area at the time that he knew of, the Port of Gambino Area. Although it didn't provide the shelter that he desired, it was far enough away from the corruption that was devouring the world.

"This is ridiculous, this never happened in any of the other games that we've put on... Why this one?" he spoke to himself.

There was a glow to the left of him. Amayatar had logged into the area as well. Pulling a Pokeball out of her belt, she threw it into the water. A glow, a cry, and then a splash.

"You're free now, go!" she said to the water Pokemon.

"That's gracious of you..." Sibby said.

"I figured with all that's going on, it's better to have things all tied up, just in case."

"Good thinking."

They sat there on the bridge talking and swinging their feet in the water. It was depressing to them how everyone was dying or being banned...

*click*

"Go! Hurry!" Sib said as he pushed Amayatar into the water.

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

Moments after, Sibeiko was in the water as well, but bloody and dead compared to Amayatar.



Satius was busily chewing the gum that she had just wrangled and walking along the shore in the Barton Coast Area. The sea breeze was a pleasant one and Satius liked the salty air anyways. Pleasantly chewing the new gum, she sat down under the palm tree in the sand. It was a different kind of gum, not as tasty as the others, but of course, she had just picked it up in the Isle de Gambino Area. It was a shady sort of vendor of course, I mean they all are, but this one was particularly shady.

She blew a bubble and popped it. The first one from this gum. She went for a second one, a bigger one. Bigger and bigger she blew it. It must've had some kind of elastic in it as well, it was a huge bubble. Almost as big as Satius by now.

"Mmmm mmhmm nnmmmm..."

The bubble popped and every inch of Satius's body was covered. 'No biggie,' she thought. But oh, it WAS a biggie... Trying to pry it from her face, it snapped back. Her mouth and nose were covered, a horrible predicament. She reached for her throat, but it was no use, Satius had blown her last bubble...



tl;dr
#53 Guccigirl the Pokemon Master has been banhammered.
#30 Sibeiko the Battle Mage has been sniped.
#29 Satius the BubbleGum Wrangler has been crazily killed.

There lying just in front of the Crazy Killer was Turtle_Devil, her songs now silenced. It was a horrific sight, not to the killer of course, but it was a breathtaking scene if they had ever seen one. After being mauled apart by the killer, they had stitched strings together to make a marionette body of Turtle, which caused the digitizing null. Turtle was trapped, dead in the virtual world and brain dead in the physical one. There was no data save with her.

Tying the strings to the top sticks was the final job left for the killer to accomplish, then the marionette would be complete and they could use it to invoke the other dead that were trapped in the void.

"Spirits! Come forth!" the killer spoke.

Rising from the ground in an eerie purple cloud was Unphotographable, Wrendraith, Aine, and Ginji. They gathered in the marionette and the killer let go of the strings. The thing hung there, suspended in the air.

"There she is!" called heavensdark, "I found the killer!"

A crowd logged in to the area behind heaven. Draconissa stood there with a smirk on her face and a thought in her head.

"Just try me, infidels..."

The crowd rushed her. She commanded the doll to attack the crowd, but Draconissa underestimated the will of the dead. The marionette turned on it's creator.

A look of horror flashed across her face. This was it, she was a goner. Just in time to save her life in the physical world, her screen turned red and faded to black. Draconissa the Crazy Killer had been banned from Gaia.

The marionette fell to the ground and the spirits of the dead floated out of it. They glowed white in the air and disappeared. Finally able to log out.

Back in the hospital, in the physical world, Photo's hand twitched and moved. A nurse yelled and called for the doctors. There was a rush into the room and reporters followed in their stead.



Respectful Rhino, being completely oblivious to the fact that the other Beta Testers had found the Crazy Killer, remained in the Aekea Area. She scouted out the ghost town that was once a thriving city. Hannibal's Cafe was boarded up with the words OUT OF BUSINESS painted across the front. A sad sight.

Suddenly, there was a whoosh sound over her head. Glancing up at the giant crane that towered above the city, there stood a shrouded figure.

"Have fun in the void!" it shouted!

BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!

And Rhino collapsed with a bullet through her chest.



tl;dr
#27 Turtle_Devil the Bard has been crazily killed.
#10 Draconissa the Summoner and the Crazy Killer has finally been banhammered.
#61 Respectful Rhino has been sniped.
