There were some things science could not solve. He wouldn't say there was much, but there was a bit. And this... this was one of them. Staring down what had once been some of his dearest friends in the Estate, now turned into... whatever these things were. He could not explain this.

Regretfully, violence was the only answer. With a heavy heart, he attacked.

The head of the Squid Research Labs, Hisashi Nogami approaches his upcoming battles with gusto. This curious mind started as a face in the background of the Ultimus Estate, brought to the forefront after the course of the tournament pushed him into taking a more active role. While Nogami may be a bit more passive, his passion for exploration has given him many years of experience. Perhaps this knowledge will be what drives him to success...? Only time will tell, so press A to continue!

One Of Those Electric Laments

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!

High Above The Outcast Ocean

Oh Annie

I Was Just Waiting
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[Intro]

[Verse]
There I was waiting
my heart in my hands
Hoping you saw me
and would understand
I was just waiting
I was just hoping
you would understand
You would understand

[Verse]
I was so sure
this time you'd say yes
You'd see that I need you
You'd want my caress
But you killed my dream
The look in your eyes
You said it was over
There'd be no more time

[harmonica]

[Verse]
With only a smile
you could save all my days
You could end my trial
and grant me a stay
Please give me a sign
and say that you may
Please give me more time

Please give me more time
a stay
give me a sign
Please give me more time

ooohh ooohh

[verse]
But you killed my dream
The look in your eyes
You said it was over
There'd be no more time


[Verse]
There I was waiting
my heart in my hands
Please give me more time

There'd be no more time

[Outro]

I Was Just Waiting - B side (Annie)

[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.
