You know, for as much as he talks himself up, our newest arrival is actually a pretty nice guy. He's been taking to this well, bringing a... grounded look to all of this. It seems everyone here has a very unique viewpoint, but this guy's just a kid from Compton. Sure, he's seen some shit from what I'm hearing, but he's not a squid kid, or a giant killer boombox, or a... whatever AFTER HOURS is. I dunno, it kind of reminds me of home before Second Heaven. To think, once upon a time we lived in a world where this wasn't a problem. Nobody'd even entertained the thought of a "zombie invasion". 

I remember being eighteen. Young and dumb, curious about the world. Now I'm 43 and I just want everyone to stop dying all the damn time. Funny how priorities shift.

If Pirus and Crips all got along, perhaps the world would be a better place. But that isn't the case for his m.a.a.d city. The angel on angel dust may not be much of a fighter, but this good kid has his freestyles ready to take on the competition! Repping the streets of Compton with tracks based on the culture, on drugs and drinking, and his own catalogue, you won't be killing his vibe without being a sinner yourself. So turn the headphones up, grab your dominoes, and watch this black boy fly.

been holdin' all my life.

The Outlaw isn't exactly a talkative one, is he? I don't really mind, honestly it's loud enough in here as is, but I've read his file, and... damn, is this guy okay?? Watched his family die, dragged into a life of crime, trained to become one of the best gunslingers in the west just to have a chance to survive? Why does everyone here have some fucked up backstory?

...I guess I can't talk much, can I? I'm living through effectively a zombie apocalypse. This whole thing fucking sucks. I guess I can understand why he'd be so eager to help, though. Given he's been the villain for so long, I would want a second shot at life too. Still, I'm worried. I want to talk to him, see if I can help him feel more comfortable, but I'd hate to overstep on things, and- oh goddamnit hold on, of COURSE Modeus is all over him-

-

You'd best watch your step there, partner. The Outlaw is here and ready to take on the wilds! Once a simple farm hand, this gunslinger got himself into a spot of trouble and ended up on the wrong side of the law. Now one of the quickest shots in the wild west, this cowboy is stepping up to take on the future. Ready... draw!

[LR2M1] RESULTS!

In one week, the beginning of the end. Second Heaven will never be the same.

-

No tournament could be complete without a host, and the responsibility has fallen to the leader of the Zeta Protocol project, Dr. Scarlett Jones. Though tending to stay in the background, she's a brilliant scientist known the universe over as the one who finally cracked multiversal theory, her life's work leading to one moment. For some, this would be a crowning achievement. For her... it's just a step on the path to end the JEKL virus, and save humanity. With the help of the Zeta Protocol subjects, will her plan be enough?

[F6I: Amigo] Never Gonna Keep Me Down

You Have Captured My Heart

[notice: this project is cancelled.]

Welcome to Second Heaven. Infectious is a mashup/arrangement tournament by Spark Records, inspired by projects such as King For Another Day and Mashup Week, with a heavy emphasis on a dark storyline. This project is best enjoyed on YouTube, but we will be uploading tracks here as well.

If you are interested in the storyline as it develops, please join our Discord as well. Both are found in the links section.

Please note that Infectious contains potentially triggering themes, such as disease, civil unrest, death, blood and gore (gore will not be visualized, only mentioned if it comes up), and more. We understand that this isn't for everyone, and we would like to ask that you know your limits. If you are not comfortable with any of these, it may be in your best interest to not follow this tournament for your own comfort.

Thank you.
