Let The Night Process
As they sat at the couch, Charlie said, "Honestly, I need to break to just... let this sink in." The group nodded and they all decided to go to Fat Man Slims for a bit.
Charlie was the last to leave after grabbing some paper and a pen. Once at the bar, everyone got drinks of their choice as Charlie went to a back table to write.
Dear David Blazing III and His Plants,
My name is Charlie Morningstar, and I am so sorry.
When I invited Solar Flare, I was tricked by the Society Against Evil. They told me it would be a night of carnival fun, but it turned out to be a death mission.
Killer Clowns attacked and we learned of what the Society really wanted of me. We had to send each other to die to cleanse eight artifacts so we could stop The Carnival Master from killing everyone in the town.
Eventually, we needed to vote on two to face death. I don't know who voted for her or if she voted for herself, but she was picked and she, along with the other voted on guest, and to choose a helper.
Unfortunately, her helper was unable to finish the four challenges in time and she was stabbed to death by the clowns.
Dear Wario, Daisy, and other Mushroom Kingdom Residents,
On the second hour of horror, we had to deal with The Snake Woman. It was during this hour that Waluigi started to antagonize himself.
I can only assume he doesn't like hypocrites as he made a fit over a fellow guest saying that they should take the fall for someone else and be sent to the death challenge as the fellow guest said they were a hero and yet hadn't done anything to prove it.
It cost him his life as when voting time came, most of us, including me, voted for him. The only reason some didn't vote for him was due to the number of cards.
He and the other competitor, who toppled The Snake Tower to keep the guest Waluigi threw a fit over from dying, went to the forest at the edge of town. In there, they had to find pieces of a mosaic in the guts of a snake.
Waluigi couldn't find all of his before the other competitor, and was bitten by The Snake Woman, poisoning him by burning through his organs.
Dear members of Team Fortress,
On the third hour, Spy didn't do much to help us in finding four obsidian stones needed to start cleansing the artifact.
Due to this, almost unanimously, we voted for him instead of the rest of his team, which included me. Speaking of which, me and the rest of his team voted for ourselves as two need to in the challenge.
Both me and Spy were drawn and we went to his lair, where we had to spell out his name. He could only find half of the letters while I found all eight.
Once I yelled the monsters name, it went to kill him, but he didn't go down without a fight. But it was for naught, as the monster choked him to death while also burning his face with its toxic breath.
Dear Abby Schmidt and Vanessa Shelly,
On the fourth hour, we were pitted against each other in strength. Mike got third in the arm wrestling contest to gain the next artifact to cleanse.
Once we got all the pieces of the artifact, we learned the death challenge would be between two boys. There were only 4. One of the selected was Mike and he was pitted against another guest in five feats of strength.
He and the other guest made it to the fifth when he failed. He would have died at the hands of The Strongman if not for the rest of the group's speed of cleansing the artifact.
Due to that he lives for longer, but we are only halfway through the night, and everything could change.
I profusely apologize for inviting your friend or family member and I wished I could have stopped myself. But what's done is done, and I only hope that this never happens again.
Sincerely,
Charlie Morningstar
She also prepped letters for those who hadn't died yet, in case they did.

"Charlie, you okay?" Ro asked, bringing the princess back to reality. She looked down to see the napkins she brought for possible tears drenched. "No. No, I'm not," she answered.
"I feel like all of this is my fault. I mean, I'm the one who invited you-" The little woman stopped Charlie, "No. It wasn't your fault, you didn't know."
She continued, "It's the Society's fault, they didn't tell you the truth. I don't know if we can trust them, but I do know it isn't your fault." Charlie smiled before hugging Ro, who quickly hugged back.

In another part of the bar, Gloria was comforting Izuku. "I almost killed someone, Gloria. I did kill someone by not being fast enough with cleansing the artifact."
Gloria smiled at Izuku, "Dae ye want me tae sing?" He was confused when she continued. "Ah learned a tune frae a nearby place, it's slow an' cozy-like. But the words arenae a' that comforting, so just ignore them."
Izuku nodded and Gloria started humming a tune from the nearest full region, Gaeleán. Once the intro was done, she sang softly as to not disturb any other guests.
In Dublin's fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through the streets, broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels! Alive, alive, oh!"
"Alive, alive, oh!
Alive, alive, oh!"
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
She started humming again, meaning a small instrumental break. Izuku rocked his head as his body slowly calmed from the panic of almost killing Mike.
She was a fishmonger
And sure t'was no wonder
That so were her father and mother before
And they wheeled their wheelbarrow
Through the streets, broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
"Alive, alive, oh!
Alive, alive, oh!"
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
She died of a faever
That made Izuku stop and look at Gloria, who opened one eye and looked at him. "Them's the words. I told ye tae ignore them." He shrugged and she continued the song.
And no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow
Through the streets, broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
"Alive, alive, oh!
Alive, alive, oh!"
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
She stopped and looked at Izuku, "Did that gie ye some peace, lad?" He nodded and both did a fistbump.
