A crew of people with tubuchicks (and one poor sucker fused to an anomalous mallon) checked out the latest event activities.

There was an AI offering hints.

Someone who was clearly the indie famous Missy Wissy.

And it appeared that the event hosts were asking some people to get on stage for a play of sorts.

All of the birds are stopped in their tracks as they view the chart.

The paper hovers slightly in the air before being ripped apart by forces unknown.

Strings attract to Apmeke.

A play has started, and the audience demands the public admission of a horrible fact!

The crowd is not impressed.

The wires let Apmeke go!

A raven lands on Apmeke's boyfriend, who is, as mentioned before, a flat piece of cardboard.

EXCEPT THE BOOK WITHIN YOU SAYS SHE HATES LOVE.

SO SHE ACTUALLY WANTS TO EAT AND MAUL THE RAVEN.

THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL LOVE. IT'S AN AGRESSIVE HATE LOVE.

Someone, invisable starts pulling the curtains on the birds.

The play is shut down by an invisible force. The crew are all kicked off stage.

Ampeke pulls back the curtains but finds all the birds hanging from lights on the stage, inactive.

They......look dead to her.....but something tells her they're not.

Her clockwork senses does not sense anything within them.

A FORCE TELLS AMAPEKE TO GET AWAY FROM THE HANGING BODIES.

AS IF TOUCHING THEM WOULD RESULT IN A HORRIBLE DEATH.

With that, the play is ended.
