Ahem, now to get to the real stuff. Time to absolutely NOT horrify Lucina with the scariest game in recent public memory, this be subjective, of course. Guest-starring our resident insane psycho knife nut Henry, who just LOVES to bathe in the blood of ba-I mean, loves walking dogs!
Now, to get on with this chapter!

"Luuuuucciiiinnnaaaaa..." Henry whispered into her ear, causing her to jump slightly.
Lucina glared at him, trembling slightly. "Henry! What are you-"
"I'm bored, and nobody wants to play with me." The dark mage whined. Lucina was suddenly made aware of a screaming in the distance- most likely Nah, although she initially mistook it for her mother's- and what sounded like a very worried Libra.
The princess narrowed her eyes. "Henry, what did you do?"
"Nah sounded bored, so I wanted to play with her!" Henry grinned, before sighing. "She didn't like it, sadly."
Lucina glared down at him. "Henry, what did you do?"
Henry winked at her, chuckling ominously. "Hahahaha...you don't need to know. Now, let's do something fun!"
Lucina stood up. "Oh, no. Not with me. I'm getting out of here-"
Suddenly, a loud boom could be heard from the corridor, followed by screaming- definitely Vaike's, judging by the surprisingly high pitch- and what sounded like tentacles slamming into the sides of the corridors. Lucina swallowed briefly, before shutting the door quickly and shaking her head.
"...on second thought, I'll stay in here. I don't want to know what ungodly power Tharja or Miriel invoked this time. Especially if it's Miriel's."
Henry frowned. "Did you have to lock the door? I wanted to see what was going on! It sounds exciting!"
More screaming. Lucina had learned not to question the insanity in the palace anymore. Robin, Kellam and Cordelia probably had it handled, definitely with Sully and Chrom's help- that and there was a voice in the back of her head telling her it was probably a bad idea to leave the room while whatever was going on outside was happening.
She sat back down, sighing. "Well, Henry. It looks like we're stuck in this room until the situation outside has passed."
"Goody!" The dark mage clapped. "Let's use the laptop thing! I've always wanted to use the laptop thing!"
Suddenly, the door opened and shut to admit a very dishevelled Maribelle, who looked absolutely horrified, breathing heavily as she slumped against the door.
"I...do not...know what...manner of insanity that psychotic dark mage has come up with..." The noblewoman spat out, shaking her head and fixing the curls on her head. "...but I will...have you know...that I...disapprove of such disgusting creatures attempting to defile me!"
"Defile?" Lucina raised an eyebrow, not understanding.
"Defile! To ravish-"
"O-okay!" The princess cut her off. "I believe I've had enough information." Lucina inhaled, clearing her throat. "Can you take a seat? You look like you're dying."
"My dignity is dying, at the very least..." Maribelle huffed, before taking a chair and sitting next to her. "And what are we going to do while we're locked in this room?"
"Use the laptop thingy! It looks fun!" Henry cheered.
"Oh, not that dreadful device! I implore you, dear, not to use it!" Maribelle pleaded, remembering the last time she'd ended up using it. "P-please, surely there's something else we can do-"
Lucina examined the room quickly. Apart from a copy of the 'Ribald Tales from the Holy War' Sumia so cherished, there was nothing of note in the room.
She shook her head. "Unless you want to talk about the weather, we've got nothing else to do."
Maribelle blanched as Henry giggled insanely.
"Heeheehee...I wonder what kinds of madness we'll find?"
Lucina sighed.
'...I think I should have taken my chances with the tentacle monster outside.'
"Steam?" Henry tilted his head. "That's a curious name. I don't see any steam on this computer!"
"It's a platform for video games, or so Todd tells me." Lucina explained. "I'm sure this Ushio girl has to have something on her computer to play with."
"Five Nights at Freddy's?" Maribelle rubbed her chin. "That, surely, can't be a game, right? It hardly seems an appropriate title for one!"
Lucina tilted her head at it. "Hm. It seems quite innocent, although the bear- if whatever that strange animal with the hat and grin is- seems somewhat...off."
Maribelle shook her head. "I have a bad feeling about this. Select another game."
"Pick this one!" Henry chirped. "It looks fun!"
"...well, I suppose we'll play this one..." The princess hesitantly clicked on the icon, watching the screen go black and head to the main menu.
"I don't like that bear..." Maribelle muttered as she stared at the titular Freddy, hidden behind flickering static. Henry, on the other hand, smiled.
"He seems nice. Can I keep him as a pet?"
Lucina swallowed. There were other games she could play, but this one looked much more simple- she'd tried to have a go at that 'Valkyria Chronicles' game Gregor had mentioned, and Ushio apparently owned, but the interface, as Todd called it, completely eluded her.
"...I don't like it either, but we should give this game a go. It can't be that bad, even if it seems suspect..."
"It looks like something Tharja would come up with." The noblewoman muttered darkly.
The dark mage nodded. "Which is exactly why it's cool! He looks so cute!"
"I question your definition of cute, Henry." Maribelle muttered. "And possibly your eyesight as well. That bear looks more like a creature out of a nightmare."
...
"So I'm intended to keep an eye on...automatons?" Lucina noted, sighing. "Alright, I can do that, and all I have to do is shut the door and keep an eye on them with this camera device.
Alright. Easier than dealing with the Justice Cabal, I suppose."
"This ought to be fun! All the potential gore!" Henry sighed happily, causing Maribelle to flick him in the ear.
"Gore is hardly a palatable subject! I don't understand how you find it so appealing!"
"It's such a pretty color!"
"Shush!" Lucina snapped. "I can't concentrate on this game. Now...let's see. Well, I should shut this door, to stop that bear from entering, seeing as he's already standing outside it."
"H-he is?!" The noblewoman jumped. "Are you serious?!"
"Calm down." Lucina sighed, clicking out to close the door to her left. "It's just a game. Hardly anything to get horrified about."
"I just don't like that bear." Maribelle intoned, shuddering slightly.
"Hehehe...I'm loving this game! Let me have a go! Let me!" Henry squeed, laughing. Lucina shook her head hurriedly.
"Something tells me that would go horribly wrong."
"But those animatronics look so-"
"W-wait! Shush! I see one of them!" The princess held a finger to her mouth, before looking into the camera again.
"...okay, it's a bunny creature and it doesn't seem to be anywhere near me. That figures. Just keep all the doors closed!" Lucina resolved. "That should do it. All I have to do is wait 'till morning. Seems fair."
Henry frowned. "You're boring!"
Maribelle, in contrast, wiped her brow in relief. "Okay, good to know. Excellent strategy. I approve!"
"I see no reas-" The princess paused, realising something. "Wait."
"Huh?" The dark mage tilted his head. "What are you-"
"Why is that 'Power' meter going down, and why is it at one percen-" Lucina's query was answered as the camera immediately kicked her out, the office went dark and all the doors opened.
Maribelle's eyes widened. "Lucina, what did you do?!"
Henry, however, was simply trembling with excitement. "Oh, this is going to be it! This is going to be amazing! Nyeheheheheh!"
"Q-quit laughing!" The noblewoman snapped irritably. "T-this isn't funny! This is horrifying!"
"Would you two shut up?!" Lucina commanded. "I can't concentrate and figure out what to-wait...what is that song?"
"It sounds like something Virion would sing." Maribelle commented, rubbing her chin. "I wonder if-"
Then the bear, Freddy, appeared on the screen with a piercing scream before sending the screen into static.
...
"LISSA HOLD ME" Maribelle let out a terrified scream, almost clinging to Lucina, while Henry reacted to it with a delighted, almost ecstatic maniacal laugh.
"NYAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!"
Lucina merely blinked. "Huh. So that's how it looks like to fail in this game."
The noblewoman stared at her as if she'd said something far more insane. "H-how is this game not horrifying you?! I-I demand we stop playing it immediately!"
"More!" Henry demanded. "More! I want more!"
"It was only a screaming bear. Hardly something to be horrified about." The princess brushed it off dismissively. "Wait, did you say Lissa, hold you?"
"Y-you need not know what I said, Lucina! Go on, play your stupid game!" She huffed, crossing her arms and blushing slightly. "I-I most certainly did not call for Lissa to hold me! The implications would be indecent!"
Henry grinned. "A case of the bloody Mondays, Maribelle? I know just the hex that'll-"
"S-silence, you imbecile!" She replied with a slap to the back of the head. "H-how disgusting!"
"The back of my head feels all tingly now..." The dark mage noted, rubbing the spot where she'd slapped him.
The princess rubbed her temples, exhaling. "How does Robin put up with this?!"
"Okay." Lucina rubbed her hands. "Now for a second go!"
"H-how are you capable of doing this again?!" Maribelle stared at her. "How?!"
"Because it's only a game!" The princess explained again. "I've had worse anyway, hardly the time to start being horrified of some comical bear with a hat."
"And he just seems so friendly!" Henry announced.
Lucina gave him a deadpan look. "He's comical-looking, not friendly. The last game even ended with that thing eating me! Or stuffing me into one of the suits these automatons supposedly wear.
I don't get the concept, personally."
"Maybe just to look friendlier to children. Although what sort of devious creature would use such an automaton escapes me..." Maribelle muttered, shuddering, and sparing a look towards Henry, who was grinning.
"D-don't you DARE get any ideas!"
"So that power gauge dictates how much I can use each thing without exhausting, well, the power." The princess sighed, mentally kicking herself for not noticing or realising it earlier. "And...okay, understood, I mustn't shut all the doors.
That makes more sense, the game seemed far too easy..."
"Oh, goody!" Henry rubbed his hands together. "Finally! More fun things!"
"...this is troubling..." Lucina sighed as she scanned efficiently between the camera and the doors to make sure she kept the animatronics out. "Okay, this is a good management of power..."
"What kind of establishment keeps such murderous automatons in front of children anyway?!" Maribelle inquired, confused.
Henry raised a finger. "The fun ones! I wish I had one of them as a pet! We'd be best buddies, just like me and Edgar!"
"Oh, please don't tell me you brought him in-" Lucina's inquiry was interrupted by a demonic screech within Henry's robes. He pulled out Edgar, patting him happily.
"Did you think I'd go anywhere without Edgar?"
"J-just keep him quiet!" The princess grumbled, before turning back to the screen. "Here's to hoping I wasn't mauled just...fifty percent power, already?
These things guzzle power...and just what kind of person takes this job anyway?"
"I would!" Henry chimed in.
"Apart from you."
"Tharja!"
"...that...actually makes sense." Maribelle commented. "Wait, when did Henry start making sense?"
Lucina, without missing a second, responded. "Are you implying there's any sense around here?"
"True point."
"...wait, it's nearly six AM!" The princess noted excitedly as she looked on the screen, noting the time on the cameras. "Come on, come on...you can make it, don't fail on me..."
Henry was cheerily waiting for Freddy or any other of the animatronics to assail her. "Come on, come on..."
"SCRAW" Edgar screeched, nuzzling his master comfortingly.
Several seconds passed. Lucina bit her lip nervously.
The screen turned black, and five turned to six, as the sound of children's cheering played, signalling her success.
The princess sighed. "Okay, I made it through one night. Glad to know I'm not a complete failure."
Maribelle also sighed, relieved, before turning to her. "Okay, good, you've proved something now stop playing this game it is terrifying!"
"Do you have any other suggestions? This is one of the few games I can make heads or tails of!"
"I don't know! Something that isn't this!" Maribelle pleaded.
Henry pouted. "D-don't be boring! This game's nice and scary!"
"True, and I don't know how to play any other games without making a complete fool of myself. I'm actually...quite enjoying this." The princess admitted.
"So...I need only make it for one week. Simple. Right?"
...
"...okay, same procedure, check each room, shut doors when necessary..." Lucina noted off to herself with a calm whisper, browsing carefully around the restaurant.
"I have a bad feeling about this one..." The noblewoman muttered. "This game is full of nothing but monsters!"
"You're saying that because you accidentally blurted out Lissa's name when you wanted someone to hold you, right?" Henry inquired, causing Maribelle to glare at him.
"T-that is none of your business! W-what I feel about my dearest Lissa isn't your business! Stop talking about it!"
"Will you two shut up?!" Lucina cried, exasperated. "It's like dealing with a pair of children here!"
Henry and Maribelle both frowned, pointing at the other. "They started it!"
"I'm supposed to be younger than both of you! How is this-" Lucina's rant was suddenly interrupted by Foxy's appearance with a screech.
"AH! ROBIN! HELP!" The princess instinctively cried as the static overtook her screen and she shut down the game, breathing heavily and clutching her chest.
Maribelle raised an eyebrow. "Robin? You called for Robin over your mother and father?"
"N-none of your business!" Lucina retorted, her cheeks red. "W-we're not playing this game anymore! I'm done!"
Henry frowned.
"Awwww..." The dark mage frowned. "...can we at least do something else? Ooh, ooh, Reflet suggested this...she called it an anime, I think.
She wants us to watch...um...it had a long name..." Henry tapped his chin for a second, before raising it, remembering the name. "Puella Magi Madoka Magica!"
"...I really don't want to trust anything Reflet suggests." Lucina responded, exasperated and unwilling to try anything else. "Not after last week."
Sighing, she shut the laptop off, before strolling to the door and checking the mess inevitably left outside with a peek through the door.
"...oh, good Naga, Miriel!"
"I was testing the viscosity of this unknown substance! You need not be alarmed! Stahl will be able to escape as soon as I procure the appropriate anti-adhesive agent!"
"Help...me..."
Needless to say, the venture into horror games merely kicked off an afternoon of insanity in the palace.
