Manstein Manor (Aura of the Moon)

Homer: *freaks out* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Black fog starts gathering in Mistress Macarthy's room/the chamber where Mistress Macarthy currently is.

Homer: Hey, what's with the fog?

Carlton looks around, as does the dolls and Macarthy.

A humanoid Nightmare flies out of the fog, goes behind Homer, and puts his hand over his mouth.
Voice in Homer's head: it's best if you just stop talking. your insults are pointless and stupid.

Homer: (Well at least the ghost let me talk in my thoughts.)

Carlton quickly responds to the Nightmare's action by pointing his gun at it, though he has trouble aiming the gun carefully what with him shaking it violently in fear.

Voice in Carlton's head: I wouldn't do that if I were you...

Carlton: HA!!! *Drops pistol.*

Voice in Carlton's head: much better.

Carlton: Wh-wh-wh-what are you!?

Mistress Macarthy: *Tilts head.* Are you a new playmate?

Voice: the time for playing is later...
A Nightmare rockets from the fog towards Carton as Alma appears behind him.

Carlton: What in the world!?

Maria screams in fear, but her screams are muffled. She continues to kick and struggle loose, but this is still futile.

Homer: Hey, you'll end up hurting the girl too!!!

A Nightmare is holding its hand over Homer's mouth, so what he said would be muffled beyond recognition. The other Nightmare grabs Carlton and pushes him back towards Alma, who slowly raises up one arm while leaving her hand limp.

*Homer is annoyed at the Nightmare.*

Good for Homer.

Carlton tries to back away and avoid Alma, but we all know this is pointless. Macarthy watches in wonder.

Alma walks up to Carlton and grabs his arm. While apparently this is scary enough for most Americans (otherwise, there wouldn't be a The Ring), Alma takes it a step further by slowly and painfully melting off Carlton's layers of skin one by one.

Carlton screams in pain and struggles to get away from Alma. Maria screams in sympathy and Macarthy simply giggles and claps in amusement.

Though it's somewhat obvious Alma takes extreme joy in her handiwork, she lacks an expression of any kind, so it doesn't show. She continues melting Carlton's skin.

Homer: (Oh I gotta stop her before she melts Carlton like a snowman!! What will I do? What will I do?! Oh! I know!) *takes Alma down by body slamming her.*

Even though Homer is being held by one of the Nightmares. The dolls assist the other Nightmare by holding Carlton in place

Homer: (Stupid shadows!! Eat baseball bat, chumps!) *pulls out a baseball bat and hit the Nightmares, but hit himself too.* OW! OW! OOOOOWW!!! *dizzy* Urrgghh... *bonks weakily and knocks out for awhile.*

Suddenly, a space capsule labelled Deux ex Machina falls towards Alma, who teleports away to dodge it. In order to do so, she has to stop melting Carlton, so that's a plus.

OOC: Fear the new running joke!
