Japan.
Essie's pizza place is closed at the moment after a private birthday party which was thrown. You see a similarity right? Well you see, after the bite of 87, the Fazbears franchise was going down the toilet with the last one to close next year. Fortunately, a corporation known as Jaeger bought the remnants of the old franchise and rebuilt it from scratch, all animatronics were installed with up to date security programming but still the kept the joy inside them. Of course they still kept the old ones like Bonnie, Chica and Freddy but there region exclusives. As for the Japan branch, there's Essie the rabbit, Chelsea the fox, Lubbock the puppet, Leone the lion, and many more to come. Walking towards the store is day guard Mine and new worker Tatsumi, the two are high school friends and ever since summer vacation started, Tatsumi needed a job. So Mine, the typical best friend she is, offered her position as the night guard while she's day. Mine pulls out the keys and opens the door.
"Okay then, its a pleasure working with you Tatsumi. Lets go to the party hall. Though you know where it is already as we've been here when were kids." Mine said while walking towards the party hall. Of course the place is organized to prepare for incoming guests and arrivals. The tables are set horizontally while the party hats are on the tables.
"This place hasn't changed at all..." Tatsumi whistled at the sight. On the stage is a pair of instruments which include a guitar and drums alongside a microphone. He remembered the main the singers. The Jaeger corporation decided to make the animatronics human after taking influence from Fazbear's balloon boy but added animal features to them like for example, Essie has rabbit ears while Leone has lion ears and Chelsea has fox ears and tail excepted for Lubbock who is human.
"Yep, the children love this place a lot. Also the animatronics seem to like to walk here to keep there gears from rusting. Don't know if the programmers decided to designate there location her though but they sometimes walk in the halls." Mine observed.
"Say, didn't Ieyasu write Mine loves Tatsumi on Essie's boobs?" The boy mischievously asks Mine causing her to blush wildly.
"S-Shut up, Idiot...now lets go to the animatronic room." The two head to the animatronic room where, obviously, the animatronics are kept in. They enter the room. There's only one light on the ceiling and some parts are seen on the tables. It appears a new one is being made called Kurome the wolf evidenced by the head with an endoskeleton exposed though half of its covered and having long hair and wolf ears. She appears to belong to the body with a black school-girl like outfit.
"I always wanted to go to this place...now I regret it. Its creepy..." Tatsumi looked at the incomplete Kurome.
"Yep. Behind the scenes. Anyway, your room is nearby." Mine and Tatsumi walk to the room where the worker observes the cameras. Its desk with a laptop and an electric fan alongside a music box. There's drawings posted on the wall.
"And here's where you'll work. You have a laptop and automatic doors to ward off any intruders though the power is limited." Mine introduced.
"Got it...but what's with the music box?" Tatsumi asks.
"Its to keep the animatronics from acting up, they say you here Leone singing to it but I never heard her sing in the night before." She replied.
"So, your good?" Mine asks Tatsumi.
"Yep! You count on me!" He replied while Mine leaves for the night as she is the day guard. She turns around to Tatsumi who smiles, Mine smiles in response to him and pulls up her hood with her face turning into sorrow with tears coming out of her eyes.
"I'm sorry Tatsumi..." Mine tearfully apologized then wipes away her tears. Tatsumi puts on his night guard hat and activates his laptop as he looks at the animatronics.
"I guess its just you and I for tonight." Tatsumi goes to his room as Mine will tell him what to do in his first night. He spots Leone, out of all the animatronics, she seems to have a sad look on her for some reason. The guard sits comfortably on his seat while reading his magazine.
Meanwhile in the animatronic room is Essie's eyes glow blue as she looks up to the camera smiling. Lubbock's eyes glow green as he is inside some kind of present box and smiles too alongside Chelsea's who's eyes are red now. They all look at the camera while smiling except for Leone who eyes are glowing yellow but a tear comes out of it.
"Its been so long since I seen my son..." A voice similar to Leone sang causing Tatsumi to be caught by surprise and checks the cameras but the animatronics are still there.
