[CYOA] The Third Floor

You approach the controls, and a sticker seems haphazardly slapped above the buttons.
You can barely make out what it says...
"Scalable Creation of Ulterior Presence"
Pressing a button or two, however, doesn't seem to do anything. You can only assume it means power to the panel is out.
There do seems to be blueprints stuck on a small table beside it, so you can get a grasp of what that big arm is for, at least?
Other than that, there's not much else in here... maybe we should just head back out to that middle room with those spare parts?

Well that was anti-climactic.

I guess I have to go back out to the room with the spare parts where I found this little Doom at.

I pat their head gently and usher them along before me, returning to that middle room.

E.K.K. froze as he stepped towards the open doorway and another pony popped up. A very quiet shriek emitted from his mouth and he took a small step back, mostly out of surprise of the sudden appearance. While this pony gave off a silent, threatening energy.... they did seem kind of harmless. Plus they were an aquatic breed... how fast could they be on dry land (never mind the water on the ground which might help them move quickly). E.E.K. decided to try and be brave for once and held his ground. "I.....I-I-I'm not s-s-scare of you!" He stammered/shouted.

[Ballora rolled a 21, figured I'll toss this up real quick and free you. 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 up, 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.​
