This is the beginning of the starboy! 🍣

INFECTIOUS - AFTER HOURS

Our first run of the Zeta Protocol was a success! I didn't expect this much of a success at all, I had imagined that we'd only be able to pull an object, or at most just a random person, but... no, it actually managed to bring in the person we wanted. He was confused, but honestly just seemed happy to be somewhere else other than where he was, so...

...I don't know how to feel about that. But he's with us now. I'm going to try to make sure he has what he needs.

---

He goes by many names. The Afterparty, the King Of The Fall, among others. We've simply decided to call him After Hours. Not much is known about this strange figure, other than that he seems... broken, in many ways. But, he knows just what to say, so we look the other way. With his stage experience and his psychedelic flair, After Hours brings both the party and the after party in style.

OPHEIRA: Now it's time for a musical game where you have to point out whether what I'm singing about is harmful or not to the Infinity Train's ecosystem. Bonus points if you guess the parodied song and it's artist.

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.
