Chapter One: The Job
Hello all! It's me again and the 'no pun intended' has been cut for reasons! This is my second fic and a sort of… experiment? I would have made it into a game but unfortunately I have no idea how. Since some want me to continue writing, I might as well do this instead. Since it is an experiment feedback is needed so I know if this is a good idea or not. If it turns out to be good, then expect another two. But anyway, lets get this thing going. Enjoy!
Why did I take this job? It was obviously a bad idea… Especially since it's beside its own grave. Too much cameras gone and not enough time to reboot them, motion going insane and I'm losing my mind. I can hear them closing in and the light is almost out. This place should have stayed dead, but it looks like I'm the dead one this time…
FIVE DAYS EARLIER
"Yea… Yea I know… I'm looking mom…I know that… Look jobs are a lot harder to find these days...I don't know… I DON'T KNOW…Right…Ok I'm hanging up now… Yes I am… Goodbye."
Seventh time this week she has called me asking if I have a job or not, always saying the same thing. I pick up the newspaper for some sort entertainment, since my ex threw the TV out the window. Tragic story… Tragic story… Drug bust… Ads… Nothing new. I flick threw the pages until something catches my eye.
Fazbear n' Friends: Staff needed.
New restaurant looking for night guards.
12AM-6AM
$200 a week
1-800-FAZ-FAZBEAR
Night guard? Sounds easy, but why would… Ah screw it. I call the number, expecting an instant 'Sorry the job's taken'. Someone picks up.
?: "Uh, hello? This is Fazbear n' Friends how can I uh… how can I help you?"
Me: "Yea hi I'm calling about the guard job, I was wondering if you were still hiring.
?: "Oh…Uh… Yea just come on over and talk to the boss. Don't worry, a member of staff will help you find him."
Me: "Oh ok tha…Hello? Are you still there? Rude."
A SHORT DRIVE LATER
I step out of my car and notice two buildings next to each other. They look exactly the same, except on looks a little worn out. I walk to the not so depressing one and sure enough it was the right one. It seemed empty until I hear a voice.
Boss: "Hey, I guess you're the one who was looking the job?"
Me: "Yea, I'm looking for the boss."
Boss: "Well look no further! Question, do you know the history of this place?"
Me: "Uh no."
Boss: "Ah, you're hired! You start tonight at twelve."
Me: "Wait, that's it? Don't you need… I though… What?"
Boss: "Hey hey, no need to panic. You got the job! Your office is down the stairs, over near the entrance. Your uniform will be there and a recorded message will guide you. See you sometime champ!
I exit the building dumbfounded. That was a little… suspicious. Oh what the hell, at least I have a job. I call my Mom so she can stop bugging me, then drive home.
A FEW HOURS LATER
I enter the building. Looks a lot more sinister at night. I take a look around since I haven't fully explored the place. Holy shit, this place has animatronics? Neither the paper ad or my own boss told me that. They looked like they were barely made, like some things didn't belong to them. They all were different shades of colors like they were made from random parts. The bear was dark and bright brown, the rabbit was blue and purple and the chicken was bright yellow and a not-so-dark yellow. I decide to forget about them and go to my office.
I enter the underground office, but there was another entrance. It looked like it connected to the other building that looked exactly like this one. I put the uniform on and sit down. There was two tablets in front of me, one in perfect condition, the other was heavily damaged. The phone starts to ring.
Phone guy: "Hello sir/madam. Welcome to your new job as a night guard at the improved Fazbear n' Friends. Now I am supposed to read out the bullshit rules but I much rather tell you the truth. You, my friend, are going to die. Now, how you can avoid this. You can see that there are two monitors, one for cameras and the other is the system management. If you turn on your cameras, which is the damaged one, you can see that there is an option to 'switch zones', that will switch over to the other building. We call that area the 'Dark Zone' and for good reason, I won't get into that now but anyway. The dark zone is, well, dark so that is where the SM monitor comes in, there you can do four things:
Reboot cameras
Play music
Turn on DZ lights
Activate emergency strobe lights
Now some things my look like a joke but trust me, they will all be extremely important. Note the emergency lights will only work once and has a small chance of cutting the power, we tried to fix this but it has proved to be impossible. Also the music, listen the DZ has a very bad history of supernatural incidents and if you look at it for too long you may begin to start freaking out, so we have given you some relaxation music but it won't stay on for long. It will frequently cut out and we think it attracts the unwanted guests even more but it gets the job done and can be turned back on whenever you want. The DZ light thing is quite obvious so not much explaining needed there. Oh yea the reboot camera thing, listen something keeps running around and deactivating some of the cameras which isn't only annoying, it is extremely bad. So if one gets shut down you can reactivate it with this but it will take a while and you can only do one at a time. Oh don't worry, we have taken the liberality of giving you a sort of warning for when this may happen. If you look beside you there is a button, if pressed that will revel the motion tracker for the cameras. If the lights on that monitor start blinking that means that the camera shutdown is imminent, so that means you can prepare. One more things is the flashlight on your desk, it has been designed to only be a strobe light and is pretty much useless for anything apart from one thing… If anything, not going to specify what, appears in the two entrances you MUST activate it and wait until whatever is there is gone. Ok that's all I can tell you tonight. Trust me, this is as easy as it will get.
The recording stops and I'm left alone. Why did I think this was going to be easy?
Trying out new dialogue styles, just so it is easier to read. Well until the over long instructions from phone guy kinda took up a page. More things will be introduced in later chapters like a vent more info on the DZ. Yes, that is why I called it 'In the zone'. Yes, I will headbutt a table for that. Well, what do you guys think? Was this a good idea? Oh and about my other fic (The first one) I left massive plot holes intentionally… Good luck trying to piece that together ;). But anyway, thanks for reading and I will see you in the next chapter!
