Another update for the contest, so didn't look very long for a good song, but this seems pretty good, this and "stomp on the ground" are aiern's songs.
(The reason I put the 1hour loop one is because none of the others would work) the artwork is someone elses but I don't know who's. It looks pretty much exactly like aiern though..

Chapter 3- the seventh victim
(Theme song: mad world?)

"AIERN!! This is unacceptable!!" She selected his name from the computer and jammed her finger onto the controls, stabbing at it over and over again, "You IDIOT!! What are you any good for anyway!? Taking risks and not having anything to show for it!!?"
His dark figure lay on the floor where he had fallen gasping, trembling.
Her lip quirked up despite itself. His half closed eyes watched her, the eyes were unemotional, analyzing, cold, dead. She composed herself, and let her eyes go dead as well, she loved that feeling, the feeling of being a vacuum, a black hole, sucking everything into yourself, swallowing it up and unmaking it.
"One more chance Aiern. One more chance. And that's only for the sake of structure. I can't go making rules and then breaking them, now can I?" That was a bare faced lie, she broke her own rules constantly. But she wasn't going to waste a long term worker for nothing either.
"So, you have one more chance," she continued, "but I PROMISE you, next time..." She let the threat hang in the air, he knew what would happen anyway. He pulled himself over to the wall and slumped against it for a moment before pushing himself into a standing position again.
"Now, GET OUT!! And DON'T let me SEE YOU AGAIN for QUITE SOME TIME, or I MIGHT JUST LOSE MY TEMPER!!" She stopped to catch her breath, then let her voice purr deceptively calmly, "and you wouldn't want that, now would you?"
"No, ma'am." He swayed and had to clutch at the wall again to stay upright.
"So then GO!!"
He tugged on his sleeve, looking at the floor and began carefully moving towards the doors, they slid to either side with a whoosh. He looked back at her, his face blank with hatred, then he turned on his heel and limped away.
