[CYOA] The Fourth Floor

[ChexaRain]

@Natty-chan

You hardly expect a reaction when you drop a coin in the bot, but you're pleasantly surprised when the scrappy metal body springs to life, if a bit wonky.
“I am a Candy Cadet. Come get your candy here. I have candy all day. Every day. Candy. Candy. Candy. Candy.”
A few sparks fly from the neck, and the poor little bot is silent again. Alas, even entering another token doesn't seem to give him life again.
However, something creeps around from behind the bot, and it nearly makes you jump out of your skin...

Oh. Well I suppose this is your uhm... prize?
It's coming with you either way...
[Hold the link for the end of the game, this isn't your official link just yet!]

Now that the bot is no longer running, it seems like the fun is over, and now you're left with a couple choices to make: Continue down this path and see where it leads, or do you want to turn back and try a different tunnel?
[Roll 1 d100 with your choice!]​

@Zakiax

The building seemed like the only real option to take, considering everything else is just a lot of dirt... probably mold...
ANYWAY.
You grab the handle... and there's singing coming from behind you.
"Mary had a little lamb..."

You turn your head and are met with a bright pair of red eyes mere inches from your face.
"Are we lost, little lamb?"
Oh dear, it seems you've encountered a strange individual.

Would you like to confront them? Or maybe you can get inside fast enough and barricade the door?

[You only had to beat a 3, RNG says so... XD]

YOU DID IT! The figure makes a made lunge for you, and you swerve out of the way just in time, and the pony collapses on the floor.
And moans. You blink a few times, and they sit up to look you in the eyes, "Relax, it's just a game, you don't have to run THAT badly..."
Oh. Huh. You help them to their feet, dust off some dirt, and make a face when realization hits.
This whole thing was an elaborate experiment, and as the pony in front of you hands you a 30% off coupon for their next haunted attraction, and you can't help but feel a little suckered into it.
Eh, at least they still promised to pay you for the night...

CONGRATS! You've bested the scare actor and they will follow you home, a completely normal thing for strangers to do! Yippee!
You can head over to the 'Game Over' thread and make a post there for a chance at ponies from other floors & a freebie companion.​

@Tea

You open the door soundlessly, which in itself is nerve-wracking.
Almost instantly, you're greeted by a tiny little beast.

Are there more of these things down here?
Ah well, it'll keep you company.
[Hold the link for the end of the game, this isn't your official link just yet!]

Signs of a fire are all over this place, but it doesn't look like you'll fall through the floor anywhere.
Despite the burns, you can make out that you're in the dining area, and a rather intimidating main stage is just to the left of you.
further in the building, you can make out an 'Out Of Order' sign sitting in front of another smaller stage curtain, which could be of some interest...
Two doors seem to be labelled East Hallway and West Hallway as well, maybe those lead to something more interesting in the building?

Which will you choose?
[Roll 1d100 with your choice!]

Bon hesitantly pats the creature on the head before turning and continuing down the path.

Tea proxy--

Smaller stage curtain! ​

“Woah, it works?! Itto questioned, eyebrows lifted in surprise as he watched the little bot start to move. Hearing the words candy, he instantly perks up. Candy?! Alright! I can totally share that with the boys, then we won’t have to bet for snacks for awhile. He thought to himself, waiting in anticipation for the bot to dispense the sweet treats. Then disappointment. The bot fizzles, and then… nothing. “That’s it? But… where’s the candy?” He asked the bot, as if it would answer. Desperate for candy, he started to look around the little animatronic for where the candy may have fallen out. “C’mon you said you had can- WAAAAH!!!” He screamed out, stumbling back some steps at a pair of googly eyes looking up at him. Realizing what it was, he felt rather embarrassed- looking around and hoping no one saw that… forgetting that the place was abandoned for a moment. Calming himself down, he looked back to the Possesstry that was there. Errr… not candy, but I guess I can’t leave it behind. Just have to hope that Yamato won’t try to take a bite out of it or anything like that. Scooping the little ‘cupcake’ up, Itto tucks it away safely and continues down the path when he remembered that he was looking for someone.

If a slime could pale, that is exactly what match would have done. Though his face held no expression the flames on his back flickered, the control he had built up on them slipping. As fast as he could Match went to the door trying his fastest to get inside and barricade the door to prevent this frightening pony from getting inside.

Continuing forward, the path ahead gets more and more rugged as soon as you are free of the bots, the walls closing in on both sides until you're just shimmying along towards a small flicker of light at the end.
Just when you think it's too much, you fall out of the crack and find yourself looking at an old, burned out building.... and something staring you right in the face?

Oh good, a friend for the trip.
[Hold the link for the end of the game, this isn't your official link just yet!]

But hey, you made it to wherever this was headed, right?

The creepy little ramshackle of a building, or maybe you want to go poke around that far right or middle tunnel entrances?

@Zakiax

You decide fleeing is the best option, and the creepy bunny makes no effort to follow you, so you can only assume you're safe...

@Tea

You draw back the curtain and are instantly met with a glowing pair of eyes....
Oh, and they're attached to someone.

Well this wasn't quite what you thought would be behind a small stage curtain, and they advance on you very slowly.
Uhhh... should you run? Or maybe you want to confront them head on?

[Nym]

Tea proxy--

We are confronting. ​

Match looked around and decided to check out the smaller stage curtain

Yep, nope. Match turns around and runs.

Sometimes being a large stallion had its weaknesses, and Itto was finding this out the hard way while squeezing his bulk through the tight passage. Was all this really worth it? For all he knew, the ‘intruder’ he saw could have just been the shadows playing tricks on him when he pointed the flashlight down this tunnel. He couldn’t wait until all this was over. Until then though, he was going to remain diligent and find out whoever that was he thought he saw.

There was a brief moment he thought he would genuinely get stuck, but with a final pull of his hefty body, he finally frees himself… with a stumble from the momentum. Catching his footing, he lets out a breath and “Euggh!” He grunted in surprise, eyes blinking at some ‘eyes’ staring back. It took a moment, but he did realize it was just a Pixie. Where are all these little guys coming from? He asked himself, but he couldn’t leave the little thing alone in here- so like the Possesstry, he scoops it up and tucks it carefully into one of his coat’s pockets.

With that out of the way, he looks around the opening. Spotting the building, he figured the trespasser was probably hiding in there and made his way to it.
