Ah, Nightmare Night. A time when ponies dress up as monsters and Mare-do-wells, when candy is consumed en masse, and, of course, campfire-lit descriptions of ghosts and ghoulies, meant to frighten and delight young and old alike. There are many reasons that the average equine loves scary stories, but the main one is that it reminds us of how safe we are. After all, no matter how terrifying the story gets, everypony can sleep easy, knowing that none of it is real.
But what happens to the stories? Surely, something must happen to them. It wouldn't make sense if something didn't, for in our world where love is a tangible force, where the mere idea of peace is enough to fight our adverseries, surely all that fear and imagination would have to go somewhere.
And go somewhere it does. That somewhere is right here. This is the House of the Nightmares Eternal. Every word warning foals of the creatures under their beds, every creature said to be stalking the roads past midnight, every cautionary tale, and every gruesome murderer end up here. As did you.
You don’t know why you are here. You simply woke up in a room, with no features to speak of. The carpet seems well cleaned, as do the walls, and the only way out is through one door. Outside said door are all the abominations mentioned above and more. So… what do you do? Will you open it?
Warning: This is PG-13. There will be scary things. And there will be blood. If you don't want part of that, this isn't the place for you. However, it's not going to be over the top.
RULES:
Forum rules.
No powerplaying (no controlling other ponies' characters or the NPCs)
No godmodding (no invincibility, no instant-win abilities, no time travel, no unreasonably meta knowledge)
No swearing besides pony swears (buck, horseapples, banish, mule, etc)
No flaming, trolling, personal attacks, or anything else of the matter, you will be reported and banned from the game.
No carrying weapons into the RP. You are defenseless until otherwise armed, and magic is being kept to a minimum until the same happens, for in-game reasons.
No over the top gore
No sex, drugs or anything that would be inappropriate for minors.
Violation of any of the above or any of the Forum Rules will result in being reported and banned from the game.

Mystery woke up in a small room, in a comfortable bed. Looking around, she saw that, oddly enough, it had Saddle Arabian architectural influences. Last she checked, she was staying at her home in Ponyville, which, although decorated with her belongings from home, was decidedly Equestrian in design. Looking around, she could see paintings on the walls, paintings of djinns, rocs, and fire demons, creatures that had long ago plagued her home, before Starswirl went on his peace crusade. They seemed to twist and turn on the edge of her vision, only to stay still when she looked at them straight on. Outside she could hear scraping, and screaming.
