One foolish enough to follow the light of the will-o’-the-wisp can only hope their death, and transformation, is quick.

[ID: Black and white digital painting of a woman, from chest up, leaning against a tree, her head tilted to face the viewer. Her long hair is made of smoke that billows out to the right, with some strands falling over her face. The left eye, directly facing the viewer, is decayed to show the full eyeball and eye socket, and some of her cheek, separated into three sections, on the same side is decayed to show some teeth, gums, and jaw bone. Her lips are chapped and cracked. Four smoky will-o-the-wisps with large, round heads, two thin limbs, and a wavy toil, glowing from the head and middle, circle around her. Her expression is somber.

[ID: A curtain is separated in the middle by one hand on the left and one on the right. Everything described after this is behind the curtains. At the top is a cracked mirror, with a screaming mouth, bloody handprints, and eyeballs reflected in them, warped by the cracked glass. In the middle, emerging from the darkness, are two hands hovering over either side of a glowing crystal ball. Beams of light and stars erupt from the crystal ball and pass through the Fortune Teller’s fingers. In the crystal ball, a person stands, wearing a brimmed hat, a mask with crescent moon eyes and smile, a jacket with a long, eyeball-and-star-patterned cape, a striped long-sleeved shirt, overlapping-circle-patterned tights, and riding boots. Their head is tilted back with the cape flowing up behind them as if just landed from a jump. One set of arms are extended upward. The third arm is wrapped over their stomach and the fourth arm is behind their back, bowing. On the bottom left, a clown (bald with pigtails) peers out with a sharp-toothed grin. On the bottom right is a clear jar, and inside the jar is a fairy with their hands extended out, touching each side of the jar, and one leg lifted parallel to the ground. They are looking straight at the viewer, wearing a blank expression. They are wearing a tank top and pants overlaid with a sheer, long-sleeved, fit-and-flare dress spattered with leaves. Hanging off the jar is a small, eyeball creature with seven legs. The words, from top to bottom, read in all caps: “The Grande Finale. Your last chance to see the wonders of the Dark Carnival.” End description.]

[ID: A curtain is separated in the middle by one hand on the left and one on the right. A clown (bald with pigtails) on the left peers out with a sharp-toothed grin. Another clown (bald with horns made of hair sticking out of the side of their head) crouches down in front and to the right of that clown, half of their face hidden by the curtain. A third clown behind the other two is enveloped mostly in shadow, but their wide, opened-mouthed, and fanged smile can be seen. In the background there are many toothy grins scattered around. The words, from top to bottom, read in all caps: “Send in the clowns, and prepare to scream and laugh. Only at the Grande Finale.” End description.]
