[The scene cuts back to Cannibal Town]

Rosie: *Through megaphone* Cannibals and Cannibettes, assemble in the square.

[Rosie walks with Charlie to the stage]

Rosie: Now, darling, you know I would do anything, anything for my clients, but I can't exactly command all of Cannibal Town to follow someone else into battle. Now, don't get me wrong, they love carnage and bloodshed, but to get this group into line, you got to win 'em over. *Through megaphone* Settle in! Settle in! Important meeting.

[The cannibals form a crowd around the stage]

Charlie: But how do I--

Rosie: With sparkle! Razzamatazz! and that oh so appealing moxie of yours.

Alastor: Shouldn't be a problem. It's not like you've ever failed to inspire before.

[Charlie groans as she walks on stage]

Rosie: Now, fair warning. This group sticks together. So in order to convince any of them, you'll need to convince all of them. And there's one in particular--

Alastor: Uuuugh, Susan.

Rosie: Susan, who's a bit of an... uh--

Alastor: Ornery old bitch?

Rosie: That! She's tough, but win her over and the rest will be easy as pie. Ready?

Charlie: I guess.

Rosie: *Through megaphone* Everyone, we have a very special, very royal guest this evening! Please put your bloody hands together for Princess Charlie!

[Charlie smiles awkwardly and waves at the crowd]

Susan: Booooo, bring Rosie back!

Charlie: Susan?

Rosie and Alastor: Susan.

Charlie: [Laughs nervously] Sorry. Uh, okay, uh, my name's Charlie, and...

[Susan and Charlie both speak at the same time]

Charlie: Well, I run this hotel with my part... well someone and...Wait, let me start over. Angels are coming to kill us all and we need help defending our realm. So-- we, uh... we need your help-- With your assistance, we can make a stand for-- [Charlie sings] ♫I...I have a dream♫ and I--

Susan: *Yelling* Booooo! Get off the stage, you blue blood bitch! Booo! We don't give a shit about some hotel! Leave before I eat those big-ass eyes of yours! Boo! Get off! Where's the showmanship? Where's all the finesse? Fucking mediocre!

Charlie: *flips Susan off* FUCK YOU, YOU OLD BITCH!!!!!

[Cannibal crowd gasps]

Rosie: Okay! We'll be back after a brief intermission.

[Rosie moves Charlie away from the stage]

[Cut back to Vaggie and Carmilla fighting. Vaggie is slammed onto a pillar but then starts charging at Carmilla. Carmilla kicks Vaggie onto the floor. Vaggie gets up and starts charging again. But again, Carmilla kicks her onto the floor. Vaggie gets up and just barley points her spear at Carmilla before being kicked onto the floor again]

Vaggie: Fuck! Ow!

[Vaggie gets up, only to be kicked yet again. She strikes at Carmilla twice but she dodges both times and kicks Vaggie again]
