(PROGRAM INTERRUPTED)

Plot: JUST REMEMBER, YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELVES. SINISTER LAUGHTER TO CONVAY DARK INTENTIONS.

(March 16th - 2024)

On this Particular night, a storm was brewing as thunder crackled in the sky. Warnings of lightning were issued across the country and people were told to bunker down for the rest of the night.

Therefore, Depresso the clown was riding on his tricycle as fast as he possibly could, looking for shelter. With the Smg4 castle in sights, he made a mad dash for the entrance. He was feet away from safety...

Right as he hit a rock and the ground, getting struck by lightning and turning into a series of roasted hams. So close...

...

Inside the castle however, the mood was a lot brighter. With the country wide warnings, the gang had come together to hang out and watch TV. Albeit, the timing wasn't best for everyone, as Crystal had been down with a bad headache.

Thankfully, there was no issue as she was placed in the gaming room to lie down. She would've gone in the guest bedroom, but the last few nights, Bob brought in one of his side hustles and...

Yeah, Smg4 just threw out the mattress and was waiting on the new one to arrive.

At least Alice and Emily were in their playpen nearby Incase she felt lonely!

Outside of that, everyone was having fun sitting on the couch in the main foyer. Mario and Luigi sat on the floor, Smg4 stood next to the couch on the left, Meggy and Tari were sat together holding hands and Smg3 was sat on the far end, while Bob was standing behind the couch.

The whole gang was currently watching and singing along to some Super Mario rap video online, one of the Rare things they actually bonded over...

That is until the lights and TV suddenly flickered off.

The power outage came so quickly, it startled the entire gang as they screamed at the top of their lungs. A high pitch scream was heard and for a moment, they thought one of the twins had caused it...

Until they saw it was actually Smg3, who shut up in embarrassment.

Smg3: I mean-Uh....(Monotone) Aaaaahhhhh...

The rest of the gang just looked at him unconvinced. Tari's arm then bugged out, spamming before going limp. It seemed not even her arm was safe from the blackout, or at least most of the extra functions didn't work without Wi-Fi.

Mario: Well...at least the TV still works...

Unfortunately, not even that could last for long. Soon after, a thunder cloud power up flew into the window, bumping into the Tv and shutting it off completely.

This sent Mario into an overdrive. He launched himself at his "Mi Amore", immediately doing a spin and transforming into Dr Mario. He threw the TV to the ground, attempting CPR, failing for obvious reasons.

His next attempt had him trying to give the TV and absurdly large pill to swallow, but it simply bounced from the machine and fell back, landing right on Meggy's head.

Mario: Alright, that's it! We must sacrifice someone for the TV to work!!

Without warning, Mario grabbed Luigi by his face and lifted him up. Suddenly, the Tv was in some kind of demonic pentagram and the room itself was engulfed in fire.

Mario threw Luigi into the pentagram screaming, speaking backwards Italian to invoke the spirits beyond the grave. A large scaly hand emerged from the ground and took Luigi to the afterlife. Mario looked back at his masterpiece...
