"Do you see what I'm talking about?!" Margaret got to her feet, angrily dusting her skirt of debris. "That's only one page, too. I'm convinced he has information on all of us."
"But what we're missing here is the motive. What does this asshole gain from abducting all of us, and why bother bringing our weapons along?" Hitoya walked over to the group around the list, extending his hand for the letter.
"We need him alive so we can figure this out. But if we can use that paper to let him know we're onto him--"
And then Raptor went and did...
that.
It took Hitoya a second to realize just what had happened, but once he did, he gave chase after the rock star.
"Hey! You! Why the fuck would you eat incriminating evidence? What's wrong with you?!"
Margaret sighed as she watched them go. "Let's go give Murdoc a piece of our minds...before our dear champion frightens him out of his."

"Yeah, you certainly did miss it!" Murdoc snapped at Sarah Lynn.
"So did a good chunk of you lot! Why go through the trouble of bringin' you all here when half of you don't even sing?! It's only the whole bloody reason you were all brought here!!! Ugh, and the can ain't behind this, you bloody little hobbit!" To punctuate, he threw the energy drink at Snufkin.
"As if I'd tell YOU anything about it! It'll take a lot more than some wooden splinters to intimidate Murdoc Nicc-ack!!!!"
As Meiji grabbed him, the manager's tune seemed to change.
"Okay, okay! You wanna know what's goin' on? I'll tell you what I know...and that's jack shit!! I'm just doin' all this to pay off a few debts! And had you all played nice, I was about to take us all home! But nooooo, you all had to go and try to kill me!! Well, let me tell you, mate...you can forget it!!" He shoved to android off of him and went to the door.
"You're all on your own! I'm out!! Take that shitty energy drink and shove it right up your--"
BOOOOOOM!
The entire building shook violently, at worst sending you to the ground and at best making you stop dead in your tracks. A case of the latter, Margaret gripped a support beam. "W-What was that?"
"A...an explosion?" A case of the former, Mylar sat up.
"Oh man, this isn't good...if we've got bombers on the loose, we need to get everyone down to the basement, stat!"
"No way, man...you need to get back up to the stage!"
"Huh?" Before the door to electrical was a red figure, obscured by a purple haze.
"Who are--eugh!" Mylar's hands flew up to cover his mouth and nose. Indeed, you'd smell it, too. The room filled with a putrid stench, something smelling decayed...and downright rotten.
"I'll tell you bitches what you wanna know if you get movin'!" The figure cackled, his high pitched voice grating your ears in a way that didn't feel human.
"As much as I LOVE me a captive audience, I don't do my thing anywhere but onstage!"
"Big talk, coming from the unarmed guy." Margaret aimed one of her rifles at the stranger. "How about you tell us what we want to know, or else I make you dance for us?"
"Hmhm...hahaha!!!!" The figure threw back his head, laughing maniacally for a few seconds, his voice still grating at your eardrums.
"You rude little bitch...didn't anybody ever teach you to use your words?!" That said, the figure leaned back a bit, chest puffed out, before letting out a powerful yell.
"GET OUT!!!"
Your brain rattled hard in your skull, shaking your insides up in the same way your exterior had been in the earthquake. But as you recovered, you would quickly realize that wasn't the worst of it. No, right in front of the figure were the words
GET OUT in giant red letters, surging with energy...and headed right your way.

"Uuuggghhh...ohhhh, my head…" Murdoc groaned as he pulled himself back onto his feet, walking his hands up the door.
"Bloody explosions...fuck...we should've just left, mates...should've listened to ol' Mudsy in the start...eh?" His hand having made it to the doorknob, Murdoc rattled it, then again, and again.
"What the--the door! It's jammed!!"
Sure enough, the dressing room door was locked up tight, from both sides. Almost as if something was holding it in place. Having stopped there in his pursuit of Raptor, Hitoya was trying to get the door open from his side, but like Murdoc his efforts were in vain.
"Damn it…" He banged on the door twice with his fist.
"Kuko! Jyushi! Are you two in there? Open up!"
