Rarity's great grandaunt left behind a contest open to any member of her family: stay at her haunted mansion for one full night, and it's theirs. Between Rarity and her incredibly magical girlfriend, Twilight, it should be a simple matter, no matter what monsters appear. Right?

This story ended up more serious than previous exquisite corpses on this account. Also, due to people being busy, we had fewer participants than usual.

An exquisite corpse is a form of collaborative art where each participant only knows about part of the whole work, and must complete their part with limited context. In this case, each writer only had access to the previous chapter, resulting in the story getting confused, yet still moving forward undeterred. The exception is me having full context when helping out the others.

Participating writers were me, The Red Parade, trAce, Seigneur / Chiot taché, and Lillowisp.
