When the party begins, Verna arrived dressed up in a skull mask and lured Prospero into another room. Verna discussed the concept of consequence to Prospero before leaving and alerting the staff along with Morelle Usher to leave before the sprinklers were turned on, unleashing liquid acid onto the party goers including Prospero.

Quotes[]
- "There are always consequences. Take you, for instance. Someone, a long time ago, made a little decision, then another, then a big one, then one of absolutely no importance. And then by and by, you were born. On that day, you were the consequence of a harmless choice made by someone in a moment where you didn't even exist. And that choice defined your whole life. You are consequence, Perry. And tonight, you are consequential." - "The Masque of Red Death"
Trivia[]
