The Prize At the End of the Haunted House

30 October 2018

07:31 < Lupine> I'm thinking that she's going to set up a haunted house, with plenty of candy at the end. He rgoal is to get as many nice, lovely snacks in her as possible.

07:36 < Ruzeth> Mmm fun fun ~ well I'm good for playing multiple snacks if it comes to it!

07:37 < Lupine> Sounds like a plan

07:39 < Ruzeth> Anything else to discuss? Should I start us off or should you?

07:40 < Lupine> I'll start us off.

07:44 LupineGM It's a festive time of year in the port city of Seaddle. Nightmare Night was meant to be a time of fun, games, costumes, but most importantly, the spooks. While (thankfully) the Princess of the Night was in the city of Manehattan this time around, it didn't mean that the scares wont come. Quite a few generous ponies were eager to give any unsuspecting party goers soem frightful jumps, and one was even kind enough to

07:44 < Lupine> set up...a real, bona fide haunted mansion!

07:44 < Lupine> Lupine was all giggles as she had pulled quite a few strings to set up her lovely home into a veritable place of delightful scares! Everything from enchanting random objects to move about, to calling upon some of her servants to give any brave enough to enter a guided tour. There was even the offer of candy and quite a spread of lovely foods and refreshments at the end. All in good fun, of course! But it also meant

07:44 < Lupine> plenty of chances to steal away the hapless pony for her own treat.

07:46 < Ruzeth> (I'll be at my desk in about 10,so first post will be delayed

08:03 Ruzeth found himself giddy with excitement as he stroll through the streets this lovely eavening of nightmare night. The short zebra found himself adorned in a black tophat with a red ribon and a skull and crossbones in it. He wore a dark red vest and carried around a walking staff that generated little green whisps of smoke, and wore a set of aligator teeth around his neck. (Dr Facliier)
As he strolls through with a small sack of candy drapped on his back, he sees a very large looking house decked to the brim with decoroations and a large sign becconing him inwards. There's a very enticing poster featuring a fantastic plethera of treats awaiting at the end of anyone brave enough to venture forth though the haunted house. With glee, he steps past the threshold of the mansion into the foyer where no doubt, one of the shaperones was waiting for him._

08:03 < Ruzeth> (sorry about that ^^ will be around better now)

08:20 < Ruzeth> (booop)

08:25 < Lupine> With the striped lad heading right into the front, past the ominous, creaky wrought iron gates, Ruzeth is soon greeted by a rather morose looking butler, of all ponies. His head had an exe sticking out of his cranium, a nice touch to this macabre display. "Ahhh...welcome...to the Wingate Manor. I hope you find your stay to be...absolute...ly riveting. So much so...you may not want to leave..." At that, the butler

08:25 < Lupine> starts to chuckle a bit eerily, no doubt to let that sink in.

08:25 < Lupine> "Right this way, guest. And mind your step." He doesn't even look back, leading Ruzeth into the main hallway, but as soon as the zebra step onto the cold, maeble floor, he finds himsel flurching down a few feet, the floor suddenly dropping, but thankfully, his hooves never left the floor. Definitely a ncie little trick!

08:34 Ruzeth gazes around the room, soaking in the scene once he's past those iron gates, finally with his eyes settling upon the butlers face, and then following it up along his head towards the bloodied ax handle sticking out. "Z-z-zombie!" He cries out at the butler and shudders before following the eerie guide deeper inside. His hooves click against the stony tile as he walks followed by that jump in the floor. Its at that point that the zebra screams, and as the floor comes to its stop only a moment later, he breaks out into a laughter as the moment of exhilerating terror passes. Ooooh this was definitely a good one!
Dusting hismelf off, he then procedes further along the hallway, keeping his eyes peeled in the dim candlighting for the entrance towards the next turn, while taking in the eerie decorations that line the walls and ceilings, from cobwebs to blood splatters._

08:38 DuskGM Even with the guide mysteriously vanishing, it was quite easy for Ruzeth to make his way through the dimly lit, creepy hallways. An ominous, slow playing organ is playing a melancholy tune, soething reminiscent of those old school scare flicks. He can see out the corner of his eye that...maybe those portraits were...moving? It certainly felt like a lot of eyes were on him, and...ack!
A bunch of spinly little legs brush his snout, a spider langing on his muzzle briefly, before ynaking itself back up into the pitch black of the cieling. Whatever this mystery pony had set up, it's quite convincing!

08:43 Ruzeth 's pale blue eyes examine the paintings along the hallways as they seem to follow him..and...did those eyes just change color on that one? It felt like he certainly was being watched here...And that music....everything worked to send a creepy chill down his spine as he moves further along. He hears a rustling noise and starts, feelign that pump of adreniline coursing though his veins once more, before he realizes that that's the sound of his robe brushing past something, silly him. He creeps along further when those legs alight on his nose, and he cries out again as it vanishes, wich he then follows up towards the ceiling with his gaze. Chuckling to himself, he shakes his head at his own sillyness, and then in good spirits turns into the room at the end of this long hallway. This pony sure knew how to set one of these things up.

08:49 DuskGM With Ruzeth feeling quite good about this, the costumed stallion moves along, now going by a row of perhaps half a dozen armored sets of ponies. A flash of lightning lights up the windows, thunder heard in the distance, which was odd, considering eveyrthing was clear tonight. The flash of lightning lights up the glinting, ploshed aromor, that brief moment of blindness revealing that all their heads turned to face the brave soul!
With that little bit of fun out of the way, he would no doubt think that part was over, but he was sorely mistaken! An axe wielded by a set behind him swings down hard with a sickening thud on the wooden flooring. Thankfully, it was more than a few feet away from him, but still! That's enought o get the blood pumping!

08:55 Ruzeth trots through the armory at a steady pace, looking at the swords and axes lining the wall, gleaming in the light. This room was lit only by a high solitary window which casts a full moon in the sky, bathing the room in an eyestrainingly dim pale glow. The shadows along the floor are long and dim and this room feels colder than the others, like there's a draft coming in from one of the walls. That brief flash of lightning so close by deafens him with the burst of thunder and leaves him half blind, but in that momentary illumination the sight of all those watching suits turned towards him was burned into his eyes. He sucks in a deep breath and then lets it come out softly, before slowly letting it out to calm his nerves. Slowly he steps forward until there's a creak of armor and a slap of an ax embedding itsself in the wood. The zebra yelps and darts forward, hurtling past the rest of the suits of armor to clear the next room before the rest can come alive

09:03 DuskGM At last, the scent of food wafts through the air. It seems like that Ruzeth was finally making it to the prized lounge! All he has to do is make it past this last hallways, which was lined with red velvet, and...an odd looking, thick fog that was wafting threoguh said room. It smelled a tad sweet, even a bit warm, as he makes his way through the enchanting place. He felt...relaxed, as if those past frights were all behind him. Eventuallly, he makes it through some intircately made, golden dorway, which opened up to reveal...a massive room, where Ruzeth found literal mountains of sweets to choose from! Gum balls the size of his head, bon bons meant to feed dragons, even a huge swimming pool of what looked to be...punch! It was like this whole place was just a massive table for those who made it! What was more...the floor under him felt like a nice, thick carpet, a sort of fabric that was soft to the touch. Nice details!

09:09 Ruzeth breathes deep of the fog as he wanders through, feeling himself steadily relax from the whole adventure. The party room was just ahead and he coudl hear the bustle of a couple other ponies milling about within it, letting him know that he was hardly the first pony to make the journey into the depths of the mansion.
Once the warm firelight bathes him, he feels almost like he's stepping into another plane as he joins the rest of the party. As he looks around, he's excited to find that the table even has those ropelike sweets made from a salty sugary vine native to Zebrica that were all too rare to find out here away form his native lands. Seems the ponies here werent too fond of the bittery sweet salty concoction. That's his first stop as he mills past the others, pulling off a strand of the rope and nibbling upon it, before making his way over to the strange swimming pool, wehre he dips a hoof in._

09:14 DuskGM Upon taking a taste of it, this stuff was indeed a very nice punch! Very fruity, tangy and with a bit of fizz, this was the good stuff! They really got themselves a lovely spread, whoever made this. Everything tasted freshly made, something from a proper shop, or a boutique!
The other party goers didn't seem to mind that everything was bigger, with one managing to get a jawbreaker into his gob, sucking on it comically with one cheek bulged out.

09:23 Ruzeth scoops up some of it in the cup of his hoof and takes a sip, and upon finding the flavor absolutely delightful, the zebra leans his head down to get a full muzzle of the sweet fruity liquid. Its about this point that another one of the party goers who was none too careful, bumps into the zebra's rump and sends him tumbling forward into the liquid wiht a heavy splash. The cool red liquid instantly soaks into his outfit and his fur, drenching him in its sweet fruity flavor while his hooves splash around inside of the juice.
Fortunately, that same pony was kind enough to catch Ruzeth's hoof and hurriedly pull him from the juice, leaving a damp mess on the red carpet...at least the colors matched so their wouldnt be a stain. He appologizes profusely and the accepts, before getting directed further along to the bathrooms where he could freshen up. His outfit leaves a wet trail as it drips its oversaturated liquid back out upon the absorbent fibers._

09:24 < Lupine> (Need a nap

09:24 < Ruzeth> (Aww alas... Well poke me when you wake. I hope you're enjoying yourself? )

09:25 < Lupine> (Yup

09:25 < Ruzeth> (I've been working on my descriptions to get them back up to what they once were >.<

09:26 < Ruzeth> (I was at one point a much better Rper I think... About a year and a half ago. FLIST and less good players has made me lazy

09:26 < Lupine> (I hear you

14:55 < Ruzeth> (sleep well?

15:10 DuskGM Even as Ruzeth is directed towards a restroom to get himself...clean up...he find that this place was massive! More like a detailed model of a table than anything. Still, he's led to a cubical looking structure at one end, but before the zebra can make himself presentable, or even close to the bathroom, something wraps about his legs, a big, thick looking tendril! It didn't hurt or...even feel odd, more like a warm, slightly moist thing, pulling him gently up in the air...

15:15 Ruzeth doesnt even notice the tendril at first as it wraps around his hind legs, so wet was he already from his plunge into the punch, but, when it catches enough of him that he's forced to a halt, his eyes glance down to see long pink thing having wrapped him up tightly back there, before he's jerked into the air, drawing out another loud cry from the zebra, though, he was sure he was safe regardless of the fear. The rest of the house hadnt gotten to him yet after all, so what else could this be. Regardless, he begins to move about and try and pull himself free from the warm snake, seeking to clean off, while his sugary coating drips down onto it.

15:21 DuskGM It was hard to tell through all this mist, but...he felt something warm wash over him, warm and...steamy! Thankfully, this snake like appendage was keeping him secure, hoisting him through the air until...he lands on something soft...and pink! It was springy to the touch, almost like a bouncy house, and...oh, my...!
He finds himself in this huge, model room of a huge set of teeth, fangs clacking behind as those immense jaws shut around him. Wherever he was, it was certainly humid, and...very realistic! A sign with a magical light was hanging from the uvula, indicating there was more food up ahead!

15:29 Ruzeth lands all of a sudden on the ground a short distance upwards, which his hooves sink into, the surface feeling rather wet and slippery beneath his hooves. He jumps up and down on it, hearing it making wet squelching noises when he lands. All around him he could see intense ridges along the roof of the mouth ending in sharp teeth along the edges, and, he wanders over to one of them. His hoof traces along the edge towards the sharp point, which he finds is like a needle, accidentally pricking himself on it, and welling up a little blood. With a groan, he wipes it on the floor and starts to make his way deeper. The air smells strange and musty, an unpleasantness along with the humidity, but it seemed like forward was the only way to go as he crosses the threshold to her Uvula.

15:43 < Ruzeth> {boop?

15:47 DuskGM That bit of blood on the floor makes this whole place rumble a bit, soemthing emanating from that huge chasm below. But before Ruzeth can really react, he felt the whole floor tilt, sloping for that gullet and...**ULP!!!**
He finds himself tumbling down a huge, quivering tunnel, the hot air rushing past him as he bounces off those slick walls! It felt like an eternity before he falls into something...bouncy! It felt much more ripply in thsi chamber, but the musty smell was masked by...the various sweets soaking in what looked like...more punch? Wow, they really put attention to detail, even the walls were quivering and such!

15:57 Ruzeth screams in terror as the floor shifts and he loses his footing, splatting, zebra, outfit, and all onto the slippery wet ground which feels inordinately hot like the air around him. And then, as he's thrusted backwards, he falls down a long water slide to then plop down into a large open chamber. The ground curves beneath him to redirect his fall and instead he's slide face first into a pool of strange liquid before him. The air in here was strange, like something sickly masked heavily by the fresh smells of fruits and treats such that he put it out of his mind. Each step caused the floor to move beneath him, and he could swear he could hear a steady thumping thoing all around. "Hello?!" The zebra calls out, confused as to where he's ended up, this time, apart from anypony else.

15:59 Lupine reveals herself. "Mmmmph~" As Ruzeth gets his bearings, a voice can be heard all around him, almost...like it was in his head. "Well, well! Looks like you've made it to the final room! Dont worry, I've got all the treats you can ever want, as promised~" A heavy thud tumps around the room, followed by an odd sounding groan from all about. "Happy Nightmare Night, my friend! And remember, if you didn't have enough candy...you get gobbled up~"

16:08 Ruzeth can hear the loud rumble all around him of a deep booming voice, though he's not sure where its coming from. It seem sto be everywhere at once, and it vibrates teh very floor. When the hoof thumps against the stomach, he's sent tumbling across the room, splashing into the strange pool in the center again, and this time getting some in his mouth, only to find it a bittersweet sour that makes him pucker his face as he pulls out of it. Gross..."The...last room?" He asks, in confusion, "But...what about the feast...what was that then?"

16:12 Lupine rumbles, "Ohhh, that was for me, silly! I was hungry and...hmmm~" Another rumble in her gut, as a big mound of food spills out from the top, a few whole apples plopping into this huge room. "Of course, the feast is just starting! I just LOVE the taste of treas like yourself!" As she speaks up, tendrils were already wrapping about Ruzeth, wrapping him up tight as...they felt like they were sucking the life out of him. "Ohhh, a spiritual life! I would get a lot from you~"

16:21 Ruzeth raises his brow as he hears the response from the chamber, not that he'd expected to hear one at all. It takes a moment for those words to sink in to his being. But whne it finally does, he feels his legs go weak as he quivers and then falls flat with a splat into the bottom of what he now realizes is a stomach. An apple lands next to him, sending a tidal wave of liquid crashing over his form, followed by other bits of candy, each of them bigger than his own size, and quickly filling the chamber. "N-no! What? I thought this was a haunted house! Begone spirit!" he calls back, trying to summon his inner shamanistic powers to bannish Lupine...though of course she was not really a spirit of nightmare night was she? So instead his magic would have no effect, even as the sudden new protrusions in the stomach cling tightly to him and hold him flat against the walls.

16:24 Lupine chuckes. "Spirit? Ohh, more like...a Child of Luna. You see, I get to have some nice pickings from those who wander into my humble abode. Of course, my Matron doesn't mind, so long as I get enough candy for her..." Outside, Lupine giggles as she rubs over her belly, lounging as tendril pluck another pony from the dining table , letting fall into her mouth and suckling on it, swallowing with gusto. "Now...mmmph~ Just enjoy yourselves. I'm sure ther'es plenty more where that came from!"

16:31 Ruzeth Squeaks in a mixture of surprise and fear upon the revelation of her true nature, and then gulps, struggling fiercly against the flesh that boudn him, holding him up against the slimy walls. Pony after pony tumbles in to join him, landing with a splat amongst the myriad of different treats that lay inside of there. Powerful muscles squeeze the mass of food, crushing apples and candy against each other with cracks, and breaking any poor unfortunate pony who happened to be caught between the objects like stones in a bird's gizzard. From his vantage point, he got to watch it all unfold. "B-but...how...you're so big!" He calls out, feeling himself weaken as more of his energy leaves his body.

16:37 < Ruzeth> (so... How do we wanna take things?

16:42 < Lupine> (Not sure. Need to think. And eat

16:43 < Ruzeth> (have a good lunch/dinner

18:30 < Ruzeth> Boop?

23:04 Lupine explains, "It's more liek...how you all got so small! A bit of a tough thing to do, but...a bit of magic and the power of perception, and..." She burps a bit loudly, having already eaten half a dozen ponies from said table, all of them falling into her gut, soem already broken or succumbing to the now churning gut, tendrils wrapping about all of them. "Candy is sweet, but there's something...lively about ponies! Mmmm...I could snack on THOSE all day!" She smiles impishly, rubbing over the lumps in her gut. "Now...why dont you be a good little meal, and become a part of me~?"

23:11 Ruzeth groans and feels himself start to weaken further, finding it increasingly difficult to struggle as the tendrils work to suck the life out of him. And...all around him the liquid and muck continues to rise up higher and higher towards his body. WIth the loud rumbling of the belch, even more air leaves the chamber, causing the warm wiggling walls to compress tighter around the muck, working to shove everything beneath the churning sea of treats. THe Zebra calls out and complains severla more times, but he, along with the rest of the meals in there are starting to fade and succumb to her belly.

23:14 Lupine feasted. With the last of those ponies safe in her stomach, Lupine sighs in delight, taking a big swig of punch as her stomach walls were busy chruning and kneading over those poor souls. She felt a wamrth creeping through her body, as the life for os a good several equines start to seep through her body, making her a bit thicker, taller...her mane shimmering from their energies. She licks her lips and brushes over her traditional cloak, fashioned to look like from one of those old school vampony films...

23:18 Ruzeth finally ends up merging his essence with the batpony in that pot of her stomach as her stomach churns around the poor zebra inside. He gives a couple last struggles and finally starts to succumb to the stomach in its entireity. The poor little zebra passes out, becoming nothing more than a meal for the mare, as his life force is stolen in its entireity.

23:18 < GyroFeather> (Hmmm a talller mare...better for consuming a full size pone mid way through the huatned house? :B

23:18 < Lupine> (Indeed~)

23:27 < GyroFeather> (hmmm should I start my next entry? Or are you gonna setup?

23:27 < Lupine> (Up to you

23:28 < GyroFeather> (Hmm why dont you give us the next then~ I bet her mansion changes up after all~
