New Job, New Life

Disclaimer: I do not own Five Nights at Freddy's. Also I may not follow some plot points of the series, I may consider this a different location to the murders.

Alister was flipping through a newspaper trying to find a job. He was 18, recently out of school. His apartment was under furnished as it was and the money he'd saved wouldn't last for more than a month. He was reasonably tall, skinny, with pale skin and black hair that almost covered his eyes. He figured he would cut it eventually. Finally there was one that seemed to match his abilities. A night shift security job for some children's pizza establishment. He was never good at getting to sleep anyway.

As he arrived at the pizzeria, he was greeted by the manager. Some instructions and a welcome to the Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria was all he got before moving inside to get a small tour. As he entered the building he realized he had been here before. During his childhood he loved coming to this place. It didn't quite look the same as back then so he asked the manager about it.

"Oh yes, we have made some renovations over the past few weeks. There might be more in the future but we need someone watching the place in the meantime."

Alister nodded looking around. The animatronics definitely looked different. A bit more… life-like than before. Technology must have advanced a bit. Finally he walked up to pirate cove and looked up at the curtains. As he could recall, Foxy was always his favorite part of the placed. He glanced over to the manager before reaching an arm out. "May I?"

The manager nodded and he slid the curtain back a bit to look inside. From what he could see, Foxy was sat at the very back of the stage. There were some pirate-esc items around, clearly they did some work here to. He remembered the times he had here before shaking his head of the nostalgia, heading to the security office.

"This is where you'll be working, 10pm to 6am. Just watch the monitors so no one comes in and steals anything. We leave the animatronics on free roam at night so they might pester you. If they get annoying just press the buttons by the doors to close them." The manager said pointing to the locations of the buttons. "If you need anything, feel free to contact me in the morning."

Alister nodded and with that, the manager left. Turning most of the lights off, there was still enough light to see around well enough. He sat down and lazily flicked through the monitors to see the camera locations. As he went through them a bunny-like character moved off stage and headed for his office. Not long after did the bunny make it to his office.

"Hey there new guy! I'm Bonnie, nice to meet you!" The animatronic said extending a hand. From this distance Alister was able to tell they were in fact improved in design.

"Oh well… My name is Alister…?" He said a bit confused. He didn't expect them to greet him. None the less he extended a hand and shook the animatronics.

"Nice to meet you Alister! We hope you have a good time working here! Oh and we might drop in every now and then to make sure you're not lonely!" Bonnie said before leaving.

He seemed very energetic, Alister thought. Either way, having company might be nice. Even if it's a robot. God knows he didn't get much social interaction in outside of a hangout with friends every now and then. He let out a deep sigh and flipped through the camera's. It seemed like the animatronics were sitting around talking now. It didn't matter he supposed. Leaning back, he tilted his head up and staring at the ceiling. For almost an hour he didn't move until he heard a pitter patter down the hall to his left.

"Ey, you want to play some cards with us…?" Came a voice from his doorway.

Alister really considered turning down the offer. Being antisocial was what he did in school but then again, no one came up to him for anything. With another deep sigh he nodded and stood up. He noticed the one in his doorway was Foxy. "Oh, Foxy. Yeah I think I have time to spare." He said following the fox down the hall.

"You seem familiar to me, have we met before…?" Foxy asked him.

"Well I did come here as a kid. Maybe that was it." He replied as they made it to the main area and sat at a table with the others.

"I suppose that could be it but we have been through some changes. Our main bodies were all but scrapped for these new ones. Makes it hard to remember the past. I guess it doesn't matter." The fox said looking to Freddy.

"Nice to see you joining us Mr. Alister, ready to lose to the papa bear?" Freddy said with a bellowing laugh as he dealt the hands.

This was a bit weird in retrospect. He was playing poker with these things meant to entertain children. They were not using actual poker chips though, as he would figure. They were using the weird Freddy Fazbear tokens that were usually given to children for the arcade. Either way it was a fun game of poker that took up over an hour of his shift. He thanked them for inviting him to play before heading back to his office. As he headed down the hall he felt like one of them was watching him but ignored it.

Flicking through the cameras was pretty boring but at least it wasn't unbearable. Thinking about it, this was a cushy job for him. Better then some crappy fast food restaurant. There was a friendly atmosphere from the animatronics to. This was going to be better than expected. A perfect job for him.
