Part 2: Day 1.5: Actors Are Apparently Very Well Armed
Day 1.5: Actors Are Apparently Very Well Armed
Welcome back. When we last left our heroine...
![](1-psxfin_2007-04-02_14-12-55-93.jpg)
She was hunting down an opera singer who burned everyone but Aya with her thoughts and fled backstage.
![](2-001.jpg)
Eve went down the hole. Not pictured: The medicine I took out of that open chest to the right.
![](3-002.jpg)
Like a good cop, let's go meet with the backup squad. That is, if they aren't on fire already.
![](4-uvLm_1175697760_003.jpg)
"Hey, what's up?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just laying here, being dead."
"Cool. Well, see ya later"
![](5-004.jpg)
![](6-005.jpg)
![](7-006.jpg)
"Put your guns away, boys. She's white."
![](8-007.jpg)
![](9-008.jpg)
Who cares about all those burn victims. I'mma be on teevee!
![](10-009.jpg)
![](11-010.jpg)
![](12-011.jpg)
![](13-012.jpg)
![](14-013.jpg)
At least this guy is good for something. Now with some more ammo and less hope about making it out of this place alive, let's go back to the hole.
![](15-014.jpg)
![](16-015.jpg)
Upon somehow landing on her feet in heels, Aya spots a creepy, yet familiar little girl waiting for her.
![](17-016.jpg)
![](18-017.jpg)
The girl giggles a little. Probably thinking about Children of the Corn, or something.
![](19-018.jpg)
And then she vanishes through the wall. It's bad enough that we have pyrokinetic actresses, do we really need ghosts too?
![](20-019.jpg)
Aya recognizes the ghost. Good for her.
![](21-020.jpg)
Moving on, we reach the dressing rooms. Half the doors are locked.
![](22-021.jpg)
A little down the hall, we meet a cute little rat.
![](../Smilies/smile.gif)
![](23-022.jpg)
Aww! The rat has a tummy ache.
![](../Smilies/smile.gif)
Wait...
Oh god
![](24-023.jpg)
Oh god!
![](25-024.jpg)
OH GOD!
![](26-025.jpg)
And it's not just that rat! From now on, walking through a set area will trigger a battle against some mutated animals. It looks random at first, but you can sort of pinpoint where to walk over to get into a fight. It's kinda like Chrono Trigger in that respect.
![](27-026.jpg)
Aya goes into the main dressing room. No survivors, but I bet there's some neat stuff in those lockers!
![](28-027.jpg)
Whoops, spoke too soon. I guess that charred hunk of hamburger took offense to my stealing her ammo clip and generic medicine bottle.
![](29-028.jpg)
Actress: M... Melissa... She's a... monster...
Aya: Don't try to talk now. Melissa?... Melissa... You mean the main actress!
Actress: She probably got to Suzanne... too. You'll have to stop... her...
Aya: No...! Please! Wake up! Hang in there...!
Actress: ......
The actress died as she lived. In horrible agony, with all her flesh burnt off. Aya moves on to another room.
![](30-029.jpg)
Someone didn't burn to death! And it's a clown!
![](31-030.jpg)
![](32-031.jpg)
![](33-031a.jpg)
If it's one thing I can't stand, it's a snooty clown. I should have shot him when I had the chance.
![](34-032.jpg)
Why is there even a clown in this opera?
![](35-033.jpg)
Does he start juggling while the lead actress gets burnt at the stake, or something?
![](36-034.jpg)
Maybe he's not even a real actor. Maybe a janitor snuck in and wanted to look pretty.
![](37-035.jpg)
Charles L. Bingo, the Stuck-Up Clown runs for his precious life. About a second after he leaves, Aya hears a very shrill scream.
![](38-036.jpg)
But who cares about that? We have looting to do!
![](39-037.jpg)
Oops. My bad. Sorry about that.
![](../Smilies/emot-shobon.gif)
![](40-038.jpg)
In the last unlocked room, Aya decides to knock over a corpse.
![](41-039.jpg)
Oh hey, a phone! Phones are save points in PE. No ink ribbons required
![](42-040.jpg)
Loot, loot, loot. I think most of the cast had a drug problem.
![](43-041.jpg)
There was a parrot hiding in the coat rack. I don't know why, either.
![](44-042.jpg)
The tossed corpse's last words, I suppose.
![](45-043.jpg)
Aya isn't above stealing from a dead body.
![](46-044.jpg)
I bet this can be used to unlock some doors!
![](47-044a.jpg)
Scraping the melted flesh off the key, Aya uses it to open the star's dressing room.
![](48-045.jpg)
November 3 /Mon/
The Christmas show is set. This has been my dream! The main actress has a solo concert at the theater in Central Park. I took all that medication to get here. I HAVE to get the lead part! I'll even sell my soul to the devil if I have to.
November 17 /Mon/
The cast was announced and Suzanne and I are double cast. I want to play the part alone, but everyone knows she's good...
November 21 /Fri/
I think I'm overdoing it. My body is getting hotter than ever for some reason. I'd better take more medicine.
December 6 /Sat/
I collapsed today. I lost consciousness after my body got hot. I don't care if I die. I just want to get through this show.
December 10 /Wed/
I passed out again... They told me to go to the doctor and get some rest. If this continues, Suzanne will definitely take my part. I need to get better. I'd better take a lot of medication tonight.
December 11 /Th/
Suzanne was burned in an apartment fire. Is it because I wanted the part so bad? God, forgive me...
December 17 /Wed/
It looks like I'll be the lead. I'd better take more medication and work it.
December 23 /Tu/
Opening night. Everything went smoothly. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. We should have the biggest crowd of the season. And... I have the solo concert the next day at the park. But I'm not feeling well. I'd better shape up if I want to get through this. I'd better take more medication.
![](49-046.jpg)
Her and every other actor here.
![](50-047.jpg)
Another key! Use this to open doors the burnt flesh key can not!
![](51-048.jpg)
But there's one more stop before hitting the rehearsal room.
![](52-049.jpg)
This is the prop storage room, I guess. Inside this cabinet is...
![](53-050.jpg)
Another rat!
![](54-051.jpg)
Carnegie Hall is fucking infested.
![](55-052.jpg)
The cabinet also has a new gun, which I neglected to take a screenshot of. Just trust me. It's there. There is also a neat hidden crawlspace.
![](56-053.jpg)
Which has some armor! A Normal Protector. I am now Normal Protected.
![](57-054.jpg)
Last door in the hall.
![](58-055.jpg)
Eve decided to enjoy a quiet evening playing the piano after a good day's massacre.
![](59-056.jpg)
![](60-057.jpg)
![](61-058.jpg)
I don't think anyone can come up with a snappy retort to a line like that.
Eve decides to smash the piano and grow a... a something where her legs used to be.
![](62-059.jpg)
Tori Amos let herself go.
![](63-060.jpg)
![](64-061.jpg)
Yep. Mitochondria. Open up your seventh grade science textbooks and see just what's looking for a revolution in your body. Somehow.
![](65-062.jpg)
Aya vs. Eve, round 2. This is pretty much exactly like the first fight, except Eve moves around a little.
![](66-063.jpg)
She also shoots TWO beams at once, instead of her wimpy old single beam attack.
![](67-064.jpg)
![](68-065.jpg)
![](69-66.jpg)
I don't think anyone does.
![](70-067.jpg)
Hey, it's that white screen again!
![](71-068.jpg)
![](72-069.jpg)
![](73-070.jpg)
![](74-071.jpg)
![](75-072.jpg)
Contemplating that, Aya sees yet another hole Eve made in the floor. The woman simply can not use a door, like a normal person. Will Aya jump down?! TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO FIND OUT!
Next time on Parasite Eve: Aya jumps down the hole.
