Pipp Petals is many things. A princess. A drama queen. A fan of anything paranormal. But most of all, she is an entertainer, and after she and her friends had a spooky adventure renovating the abandoned Canterlogic building in Maretime Bay, she had an idea. Why not livestream a full-scale paranormal investigation? More than that, since they now know where it is, why not hold said investigation in the ruins of Canterlot Castle? It's rumored to be haunted, after all! Oh yeah, this livestream will blow the Pippsqueaks away!
If only Pipp knew the true nature of Canterlot Castle, or the things that still dwell within.
Sometimes, history is better left alone.

very cool idea... I'm thinking dungeon first
NO WAYYYYYY
alright, best for last, 9 now
And here i was thinking that everyone, including everyone that relies on the sun to survive, was dead
This story had me engaged the whole time
A next one, and the next one, and etc.

No, NOT "it's"--"its" IS the proper form to use, as it's being used as a possessive pronoun, not as a contraction of "it is" or "it has."
Its vs. It's
Is there a reference to that?
Oh good, everyone survived

Yes. As I suspected the whole time I was reading the story inspiration was taken from the FNAF series, the first three games of which have you playing as a night guard who’s shift is through the early hours of the morning and who switches between different camera feeds to monitor the building you’re in. ‘Purple Guy’ was the fan name for the killer in the series until his identity was revealed as William Afton, who later became Spring Trap. The bite of ‘87 was an important incident in the timeline as it caused Fazbear Entertainment (the company that built the animatronics) to decide that the animatronics could no longer roam around during the day, so they were instead allowed to wonder around the (mostly) empty building at night, placing the life of the night guard you’re playing as in mortal danger. Most information surrounding the bite is inconsistent though, such as whether the victim survived or not, the animatronic involved in the attack and even the year it happened (I’ve seen it also referred to as the bite of ‘83 or ‘85) though most sources seem to agree it took place in ‘87

The Bite of 83 is a separate event from the Bite of 87.

Thx. I'm a noob to these games(even being updating)
Quite a few questions left unanswered, but am interesting story nonetheless. Thank you for the story.

You’re welcome.

Thanks for the correction. I haven’t actually played any of the games (and I have no desire to, since I’m not a horror fan) but I have been researching the FNAF lore for a multi book G5 FNAF inspired story I’m planning. Most of said research has been through MatPat’s videos on the timeline, but two close friends of mine who are as big FNAF fans as I am an MLP fan disagree on whether his videos are an accurate source. One of them recommended his videos to me while the other said they were inaccurate
Ooh, encouraging the readers to read out of order, interesting.
Pipp...
Sweetie...
Your friends are going to die now...
Well now, this was a rather haunting read.
The unanswered questions, the suspence, the eeriness of it all.
I especially enjoyed the non linear reading feature, which really lets the reader feel like they're watching the livestream themselves.
The ending however... left something to be desired.
The "everything is suddenly okay" reveal felt rather forced, and the team recap was rather clunky feeling, with rushed explanations.
That's not to say it's a bad story, quite the opposite in fact, it just feels like the ending was an afterthought.
Overall though, quite an enjoyable read.
I sincerely apologize is I sound overly critical, as that's not my intention.
I just wanted to share my honest opinion on this story.
Cheers, and keep up the good work.

I'm guessing Nightmare Moon's spirit was the one screwing with everyone?
Anyways, awesome story!
I love everything about this story, the originally high spirits live stream of a paranormal investigation at a spooky abandoned venue, the nonlinear storytelling, accidentally causing eternal night, knocking out all the cameras and leaving 9 isolated for last, not really showing anything, the creepy animals, the unmanned camera standing as an indifferent witness, the successful horror with an E rating. The only thing I'm sad about is that it didn't just end after chapter 10. The name of the story makes me think that was your original intent but then you pulled your punch at the last second.
There seems to be a lot of talk about FNAF in the comments so at the risk of dating myself, I'm going to set the record straight and tell everyone that this story is actually MTV's Fear.
I like the conclusion and how this story ended, though it got repetitive quite fast. Most chapters have the same build up and way of descriptions.
Overall an okay story with promising start and good ending though alsowith quite some skippable scenes.
My GOODNESS-
Okay...… Seems that there's some really weird sh*{ guarding the castle. Ruling out anything paranormal that doesn't quite fit with Equestria's magic, there's definitely at least two sets of illusion spells (one on the kitchen, one on the Throne Room & the Chamber leading to it), some sort of transmogrification if the sticky stuff in the library is anything to go by, & some extra kooky space-time-warping magics occurring if the hallways, Sunny finding three-or-four stained glass windows of Twilight's Coronation followed by one depicting her own!!!!
Minor nitpick: If the castle is really in such a state of disarray, it's probably been longer than decades. Centuries, maybe.

I agree, but until we're given a canon number of years between G4 and G5, I'm playing it safe with the terminology I'm using, haha!
Wait, what?!
Wait a min...
Ah!
It seems they forgot to unloop this part
...no wait THATS REAL!
