Eggs did not like where this was going.
Of course Eggs wasn't his real name. It was just a name that was given to him by the stupid handy unit that never seemed to work. The keyboard was cracked, the screen was all glitchy. It even lost him some money when it selected "Exotic Butters". Stupid machine. But back to what was currently happening at the moment.
Eggs recently was hired to Circus Baby's Pizza World. It was said to be one of the best children's entertainment restaurants in town. Home to some of the most iconic mascots like Funtime Freddy, Ballora, and some other animatronics that Eggs didn't really care for. He was just looking for jobs in the work section of the newspaper when an ad for the location popped up. It was looking for technical positions that needed filling.
Luckily he knew some things about engineering through his experience with helping his pops fixing cars during the long hot summers. Man he missed hanging out with his parents and friends. Now he's stuck with an eviction notice and a few thousands worth of debt on his hands. That's what happens when you move out and try to make it on your own. He should've listened to his parents.
Eggs sat on his rickety old couch that he got off the side of the road. He should really clean everything up more he noted. His small apartment was currently not in the best of conditions. The floors were covered with dirty clothes that he had yet to wash, the walls had some type of water damage to it, and the kitchen was just filled with microwavable food plates. Popcorn was also scattered everywhere due to his long nights of binge watching shows and eating greasy popcorn.
He put it off to the back of his mind to clean up later. Well if he had a later. He was currently in a financial crisis at the moment. He was on the last few dollars that he had saved up in hopes it would tide him over until he had a job. He didn't want to ask his parents for money either because they would try to drag him back and tell him "I told you so". But he wouldn't let that happen.
He grabbed his phone from one of his side tables, deciding whether or not he should apply. It seemed like an easy job, working on animatronics. But he was skeptical about the job description. Did that say am or pm? It really didn't matter if it was the witching hours because he was up anyways, but did he really want to take that risk?
"Fuck it," Eggs said to himself while dialing the location number. It sounded like an easy job so what's to lose?
"Hello, Circus Baby's Pizza world how may I help you?" A gruff voice sounded in the phone.
"Hello, I was wondering if I can talk to the manager?"
"You're talking to him."
Eggs became more composed, "Yes, I was wondering if your Technician position was still open?"
The man on the other side sounded like he stiffened. What was that about? "Yes it is." He sounded like this was a bad thing.
"Well I would like to apply for this position." Eggs voiced confidently, unaware of the mild sadness that seemed to hit the manager.
"Show up at the back of the establishment at 11:55 on monday," he voiced quickly. " Go into the elevator and everything should be there for you relevant to the job." The man said sadly, as if he said it to millions of other people hungry for the position that were unaware of its true nature. The man on the phone quickly hung up before Eggs could say anything.
'What not even an interview?' Eggs thought to himself.
Eggs wondered why he didn't have to sign any paperwork or even showing up to confirm his identity. Why did the man sound so sad? Why did the call go so fast? What did he just sign up for?
He was starting to think more to it, but then quickly thought otherwise when he saw the time on his phone. He could think about this later. He needed rest before he started his new job tomorrow night.
