Who: ordine, ophania, (& YOU??)
Where: shinjuku gyoen park
When: Day 332, afternoon

[The live begins with Ordine, in a tree in the park. He's perched as if hiding, ominously, wielding... some kind of... firearm??

Anyway he has a view of a bridge on which Ophania from zrael has taken a pose, as if addressing an unseen crowd below. Around him are posters and streamers, all of which have his face on them and some variation of "FOR ORDER" in big block letters. He looks quite natural, confident, like he's done this a thousand times. Without acknowledging Ordine at all, he speaks:]

My fellow idols, I have observed the goings-on of this city for some few weeks, and I regret to say I'm less than impressed. Though we are but pawns of a merciless darkness, no advancement can be had with such a great amount of time spent on frivolous merrymaking. Have you no conviction? No dedication to your own advancement? Cast low, you have fallen into an indolent chaos, victims of your own irresolution. Your cowardice.

You must become greater. You can become greater -- and I, Abyssal☆Machinator Ophania Iago Cuthbert Quick☆Silver Zweihander III, shall guide you on the path of righteous evolution. Under the firm but fair hand of my leadership, we can become more than idle playing pieces. We shall forsake the illusions of camaraderie and kindness, and ascend to a glorious purpose! Now, lay down your comforting lies and join me in--

[Ordine stands up at this point, cupping a hand by his mouth to call out:]

Hey Blondie, why don’t you shut up?

[He cocks the gun, a grin lazily floating across his face.]

I’ll see you in hell.

[And with that, he shoots at Ophania. But hey wait, if you’re paying close attention, doesn’t that look awfully like red Kool-Aid…? Either way, it hits Ophania square in the chest.

Despite the very unconvincing watery shade of red that blossoms across his shirt, Ophania staggers as if wounded, clutching his chest and stumbling backwards.]

You-- You always... have to stand in the way of order... don't you?

[He mutters, choked, as he backs up against the railing -- and falls over it, somehow, splashing into the water with what would be a dramatic finality if you couldn't hear him faintly sputtering in the background.

Ordine jumps down from the tree, walking slowly in the direction of the sputtering “corpse.”]

Heh. What can I say? A little chaos suits me better and besides... I’ve never liked being ordered around.

[Offscreen in the stream, Ophania snorts, and then grumbles.]

You ruined my shirt for that?

Shut up, you’re supposed to be dead.

[Ordine clears his throat.]

Now... Anyone wanna help me take these down?
