Rosie agreed to help Charlie, rallying the citizens of Cannibal Town. "But there's one woman you need to win over - Susan."

"Uuuuugh... Susan." Alastor replied with his deer ears folding back in disgust.

Rosie continued, "Susan, who's a bit of an... uh..."

"Ornery old bitch?" Alastor finished

Rosie nodded, "That! But win her over, and the rest will be easy as pie!"

At the town meeting, Rosie introduced Charlie, the Princess of Hell. Charlie began to speak, but a woman yelled, "Boo! Bring Rosie back!"

The crowd dispersed, revealing Susan, an older Cannibal wearing a dress, hat with a feather, fox around her neck, and holding a cigarette holder and umbrella.

Charlie said, "Susan?" with disinterest.

Alastor and Rosie replied in unison, "Susan."

Charlie gathered her thoughts and continued speaking, but Susan kept yelling. After a few minutes, Charlie yelled, raising her middle finger, "Fuck you! You old bitch!"

The crowd gasped, and Rosie announced a brief intermission.

In a private room, Rosie asked Charlie if she had more on her mind than just the Exorcist Army. Charlie confided in Rosie about her issues with Vaggie.

Rosie listened and asked, "Do you love this girl?"

Charlie nodded, and Rosie suggested that maybe Vaggie wanted redemption too.

After their talk, Rosie and Charlie returned to the stage. Charlie worried that talking wouldn't be enough, and Rosie asked, "Well, what do you usually do?"

"I sing." Charlie replied

Rosie encouraged her to sing, and Alastor handed Charlie his microphone cane. She smiled, took it, and began to sing.
