Team RWBY Plays:
Five Nights at Freddy's Part 1: THE PIZZA WAS A LIE!
AN: Many crossover fics tell the meshing of two respective worlds, creating endless amounts of creativity and possibilities. But this one will be different. What if the Team RWBY that we all know and love got together and played games in their spare time at Beacon? What if they uploaded it to the Internet for all to see? This is the series of shenanigans that follow as they make their debut on the month of Hallows Eve. And what better way to start than with a game that everyone loves/hates/is terrified of. Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Team RWBY Plays. Let us begin.
VIDEO START
Ruby: HI EVERYBODY!
Weiss (From off screen): Ruby! Don't shout you dolt!
Ruby: I can't help it I'm so excited we're doing this!
Blake: Why are we doing this again?
Yang: Cuz we've never done it before, and it's a fun idea.
Weiss: More like a colossal waste of time.
Yang: Ignore the Ice Queen over there guys. She's got no idea how to have fun.
Weiss: That is not true! I'll have you know that I have a refined sense of R&R.
Blake: I don't think doing copious amounts studying counts.
Weiss: It would be even more relaxing if you all would just be quiet and turn the room light back on.
Ruby: But that would take way from scary atmosphere! Ooooohhhh man I love October so much!
Weiss: …I swear you are still five.
Yang: Aaaaaanyways, I'm Yang Xiao Long, the brawling firecracker of our merry little bunch.
Blake: Umm…I'm Blake Belladona…I guess I would be considered the ninja of our group…
[PAUSE]
Yang: Sigh Okay Weiss, please just take a break from that for like, ten minutes at max and come over here. We're a team and we're not doing this without you.
Weiss: We have a test in a week. I'm not wasting my precious time with your tomfoolery.
Yang (Irritated): Ugh.
[Yang walks off screen.]
Weiss: Hey—Yang—ow! Let go of my hair!
Yang: You're joining us even if I have to drag you over here!
[Ruby snickers, and Blake giggles a bit.]
Weiss: Alright, alright fine! If it will get you all off my case then so be it!
[Weiss enters the shot with a disgruntled look on her face.]
Weiss: Sigh I'm Weiss Schnee, heir to the Schnee Dust Company, and strategist of our team if I had to choose.
Ruby: And I'm our team's fearless leader, Ruby Rose!
Yang: And my adorable little sister! Hugs Ruby tightly
Ruby: Yaaaaaanng! Please stop that! I'm not five anymore!
Yang: You'll never grow up in my eyes.
Weiss: Ugh, can we please get on with whatever it is we're doing?
[Yang lets go of Ruby.]
Yang: Still not big on patience, are you Ice Queen?
Weiss: Says the one with a fight or fight response to danger. And for the last time, stop calling me Ice Queen. You know I hate that.
Ruby: Aaaaaaanyways, to satisfy everyone's curiosity, and your frustration Weiss—
Weiss: Rrrgh…
Ruby: We are going to be playing…this!
[Footage of Team RWBY zooms out to the top left of the screen and reveals the title screen for Five Nights at Freddy's.]
Blake: That…looks eerie…
Weiss: A video game? You pried me away from my intellectual brain exercises to play a mere video game?!
Yang: You're saying that like it's a trivial thing.
Weiss: That's because it is! It's a waste of time! All video games are!
Blake: And yet you participated and may or may not have cheated in our team race with your tricycle christened "Stardust."
Weiss: audible gasp Don't bring that up! Not in front of a recording…oh Oum, you're really going to put this on the world wide web aren't you.
Ruby: Yup!
Weiss: Groans and slumps in her chair Why me…
Ruby: Well I am determined to change your mind! Video games are awesome! And since this is the month of Halloween we're going be play what is apparently one of the scariest games out there! The title screen definitely fits the bill for that anyways.
Blake: Out of curiosity, how did you even get the idea to do this?
Ruby: Oh, Andrew Cunningham gave me the idea.
Yang: Who?
Ruby: Y'know. Tech obsessed guy? A bit of a dork? Kind of socially awkward? Especially around girls? Not a lot of self
Yang: Sure you're not talking about Jaune?
Weiss: Jaune likes technology?
Ruby: No, this guy's slightly more awkward. As in he keeps to himself most of the time when he's not with his team.
Weiss: Which team is that?
Ruby: AZRE.
Yang: Oooooooooooohhhhhh, right that guy! Yeah, he is kinda…well…super shy around people.
Ruby: Actually he's a pretty nice guy.
Blake: You talked to him?
Ruby: Yeah, wouldn't get the idea if he didn't speak.
Weiss: Did he come to you or did you come to him.
Ruby: He's actually the kind of guy who stays quiet unless someone talks to him first. But when he's by himself…well his personality kinda does a one eighty.
Yang: Sly smirk Oooohhh? So he's one of those guys.
Blake: With a slight blush on her face Ugh, Yang you have such a dirty mind.
Weiss: Disgusting.
Ruby: Ummm…I don't know what you're talking about…
[PAUSE.]
Yang: Wait, so he's NOT one of those guys?
Ruby: Sis, I don't even know what that means.
Yang: Awkwardly scratches the back of her head Well…I all of a sudden feel like a jerk for assuming things about someone I don't know…
Blake: Well, you know what they say about assuming.
Weiss: Getting bored here.
Ruby: Anyways, I heard a lot of yelling coming from his team's room, so I decided to see if he was okay. I knocked on the door and when he opened the door I said, "Are you okay?" He said he was, he was just recording a Let's Play. I asked him what that was, and he explained it to me. And seeing as how Yang and I played a lot of video games when we were kids with our dad and Uncle Qrow, I figured it would be fun for Yang and I to try it, but then I also thought it would be even more fun for all four of us to share the fun together!
Blake: And possible nightmares, considering what we're looking at looks like it wants to kill us.
Weiss: We live in a world where soulless creatures want kill us. How is this scary?
Ruby: So, Andrew was nice enough to lend us some of his extra recording equipment and then bought us a whole bunch of games on this game buying app called Steam, and then sent them to us as a gift.
Yang: Wait he bought games for us?
Ruby: Well yeah. I didn't ask though, he offered. I tried turning him down, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. He showed me how to do everything with this, the setup, how to record and upload. He really and I mean REALLY knows his stuff when it comes to things like…mul…ti…uhhh…what's the word…
Weiss: Multimedia.
Ruby: Right, that! Thanks BFF!
Weiss: grunts
Blake: Well…I won't lie that was very generous of him.
Yang: Generous? I'd call that a sweet thing to do. He sounds like a completely different guy from what I originally thought.
Ruby: He really is! So! I have…absolutely no idea what this game is about. But, whatever I'm excited anyways! Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Team RWBY plays Five Nights at Freddy's! Let's go!
[Ruby hits new game, as the entire team puts on headphones (reluctantly in Weiss's case). The screen shows a newspaper add.]
Ruby: "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Family pizzeria looking for security guard to work the night shift. 12 am to 6 am. Monitor cameras, ensure safety of equipment and animatronic characters."
Yang: That doesn't sound too bad. A bit boring maybe, but other than that, meh.
Ruby: "Not responsible for injury/…dismemberment…?"
Blake: That sounds…oddly specific.
Weiss: Why would anyone put that in a newspaper add? And for that matter what sort of things could happen at a kids restaurant that could result in dismemberment?
Yang: Probably the thing that makes this a horror game. Whatever that may be.
[ The screen then displays the text, "1st night. 12:00 Am."]
Ruby: Ooooooooo, this is going to be so much fun!
Yang: Easy, sis.
Ruby: I don't wanna be easy, Yang! I'm way too pumped for this!
Weiss: Once again. Five years old.
[Screen shows the all too familiar Freddy Fazbear's night guard office.]
Blake: Well…somebody doesn't really pick up after themselves.
Weiss: What a pigsty.
[Ringing]
Yang: Whoa, okay that startled me a bit.
Blake: Same.
[Ringing]
Weiss: Can't you answer it?
Ruby: I dunno. Andrew just recommended I start with this one. He didn't tell me anything about it.
[Ringing. Click.]
Ruby: Oh okay, there we go.
Phone Guy: Hello, hello?
Ruby: Hi!
Yang: Yo, what's up phone call dude?
Blake: You realize he can't hear you, right?
Yang: Yeah, but it's still fun to play along sometimes.
Phone Guy: Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night.
Ruby: Oh, that's helpful.
Phone Guy: Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?
Yang: Sure thing, boss man! What've you got for us?
Phone Guy: Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know.
Weiss: Of course. Typical company policy rears its ugly head.
Phone Guy: Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced." Blah blah blah.
[The entire team displays looks of disturbance upon hearing their last few details.]
Blake: Uhhh…
Ruby: Wait, what?!
Weiss: Excuse me?!
Yang: What the hell?! Why in the world would THAT be in a job introduction for a kid's place?! That doesn't sound right.
Phone Guy: Now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about.
Blake: Doubtful.
Yang: Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on that.
Weiss: Though not what would personally be my choice of words, I do agree, there were a lot of things in that statement that sounded out of place.
Ruby: Shh! I wanna listen.
Phone Guy: Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit…quirky at night, but do I blame them? No.
Blake: That sounds…ominous.
Yang: Exactly what kind of "quirks" are we talking about here?
Phone Guy: If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too.
Ruby: Who doesn't give people baths? Baths are fun! Why wouldn't anyone want to take one?
Weiss: I don't think that's what he meant Ruby.
Phone Guy: So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay. So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit.
Ruby: Uh oh. I think we found out what one of the quirks are.
Phone Guy: Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long.
Weiss: That's a company lie if I ever heard one.
Phone Guy: Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87.
Yang: Splutters Wh—pl—I'm sorry the what?!
Phone Guy: Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?
Ruby: What?!
Yang: Oh my Oum!
Weiss: How and why?!
Blake: I…don't even know if that's possible…
Phone Guy: Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any…
Blake: So the player's role in this game is a night guard for this…Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria.
Yang: Why would anyone want to work in a place where someone possibly DIED?!
Weiss: And then covered up, paid off and forgotten immediately by the company.
Blake: Well, we're working to be huntresses…there's a good possibility of death from that…
Ruby: Well yeah, but that's under normal circumstances for us. This…none of this is normal…
Phone Guy: …is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person.
Ruby: Uh oh…
Phone Guy: They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on.
Yang: Okay…soooo…
Phone Guy: Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit.
Ruby: …wait that's it?
Blake: That's…not nearly as bad as I thought…
Yang: Yeah, that instantly made me feel a little better. Still don't like this place though.
Phone Guy: Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area.
Weiss: Glares at Yang You were saying?
Yang: Feeling more anxious than I did five seconds ago.
Ruby: Ditto.
Blake: I never dropped my suspicions.
Yang: Is that why you're so "Blakey" with most people?
Blake: Passively aggressively glances at Yang …that's not funny.
Phone Guy: So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death.
Yang: You think?!
Phone Guy: Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh.
Ruby: Ew, ew, ew, ew, eeeeewwww!
Yang: Eeuugh! Gross!
Blake: Ouch.
Weiss: That has got to be one of the most horrifying ways to die!
Yang: I think I'm gonna throw up just by thinking about it!
Ruby: Muffled gargle One step ahead of you sis…
Phone Guy: Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up.
Yang: No shit!
Weiss: I can't believe my hatred for a company that doesn't exist is steadily increasing.
Blake: Getting interested in it now?
Weiss: I am unfortunately finding it very hard to get what I'm hearing out of my head.
Phone Guy: But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow.
Ruby: Please don't hang up…
Phone Guy: Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night.
Weiss: …well that definitely explains why "dismemberment" was in the job ad.
Ruby: Ooooooookaaaaaayyyy…soooo, I'm a little scared now…
Blake: Where are the cameras that we need to check?
Yang: Hey, Rubes, I just noticed that arrow on the bottom. What does that do?
Ruby: Um…
[Ruby moves the cursor over to the arrow and the security camera laptop pops up showing the animatronics on the stage.]
Ruby: Nervous squeak
Weiss: I want to look away…but for whatever reason…I can't.
Blake: Fear tends to do that…
Yang: This is…pure nightmare fuel…
[Ruby flips to the Parts room.]
Ruby: Ooooooohhhhh no…
Yang: I swear I am never going to look at Chuck E. Cheeses the same way ever again.
Blake: I always thought that place was a little on the creepy side.
Weiss: So, we just have to…what keep them from getting inside the office.
Ruby: I think so…
[Ruby goes back to the office and looks around. She clicks on the light for the left door. Then clicks it off. Then she shuts the left door.]
Ruby: Okay, so that's how we keep 'em out.
Weiss: And that's our only means of defense? Keep an eye on the cameras to look for where they are and just slam the doors shut when they get too close?
Yang: Seems like it.
Blake: So, we're essentially just waiting to die.
Yang: Pretty much.
Weiss: And we have to do this for how long?
Ruby: Until the end of our shift…I guess…
Blake: Which is 6 am right?
Ruby: I think so, yeah…
Yang: Well, it's already two am so far…and that call was like…what two minutes?
Blake: About that much. So I guess that means each hour is about a minute and a half.
Weiss: Okay…so this shouldn't be too long…hey look it just turned three.
Ruby: Okay so we just need to- Ruby pulls up the camera again and flips to the stage only to notice that Bonnie and Chica are gone Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Two of them are gone! Two of them are gone!
Blake: Uh oh…
Yang: Shit, shit, where did they go?
Weiss: You can't seriously be scared by this- Ruby then flips to cam 2B to see Bonnie WAY too close to the camera Oh, Oum!
Ruby: Eeeeeeeek!
Blake: Inhales deeply
Yang: Aaaaahhhh, what the hell! Don't you be doing that, you sack of scrap!
Ruby: Well, there's one, where's the other-Ruby flips to Cam 4A to see Chica—MMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGHHHHH!
Yang: Oh Oum, the teeth!
Blake: D-demon duckling…it's a demon duckling…
Weiss: I know it's not real…and yet I never thought I would see something that may be arguably scarier than a Grimm.
[Ruby flips back to where Bonnie is.]
Ruby: Okay…okay, okay, okay… flips back to the stage to see Freddy staring at the camera Eeep…he knows we're watching him…
Yang: It's official…we are NOT ready for Freddy…
Weiss: What I want to know is what exactly went on in this place that caused these animatronics to act this way.
Blake: Horror stories are usually very vague about the origins of these types phenomena.
Weiss: Well, seeing how much of an avid reader you are, I guess it would make sense you have some knowledge of this type of genre in multimedia.
Blake: Well, only in books and a few movies. Horror games and video games in general I know very little about.
Ruby: Oh no! Oh nononononono, I lost sight of the bunny! I can't find him!
Yang: Shit, check the door, check the door!
[Ruby turns off the cameras and looks at the left door first with the light. Bonnie is seen.]
Ruby: Aaaahh!
Weiss: Waaah!
Blake: Ooomphshhhhhhhh!
Yang: Oumdamnit, close the door, close the door!
[Ruby quickly shuts the door.]
Ruby: Ooooohhhhhh, man that was…that was way too close…
Yang: Okay…so…at least…we now have…an idea of how this works…ahh, damn it, I think my heart stopped for a second there…
Blake: I…I…nearly…jumped onto the top bunk…
Weiss: If I have nightmares tonight…it's going to be all of your faults.
Ruby: Okay…is he gone…? Ruby checks the light with the door closed I can't tell if he's gone or not.
Blake: He's still there, I can see his shadow being cast in the light from the window.
Yang: Okay, so we just keep the door shut until he leaves…okay 4 AM…so far so good.
Blake: But…we only have 45% power left…
Yang: Wait, what?! When did that happen?!
Blake: You see the power usage meter down on the bottom left of the screen? I've noticed it goes up every time we take an action, like closing the doors, looking at the cameras, the lights etctera. The higher the usage, the faster percentage decreases. The usage goes back down when we're not using something that drains it more and more. The person on the phone did say that we have to conserve power. So not only to we have to worry about the animatronics coming to get us, we also have to worry about running out of power.
Yang: What do you think happens if we do?
Blake: I'm…not sure I want to know…
Weiss: I certainly don't…in fact I'd be content going on with my life if I remained ignorant of this game's existence.
Ruby: Well…silver lining…it doesn't look like Freddy's moved…so that's good at least…
Weiss: Okay…as soon as we're done this night, we go to bed…or try to at least.
Yang: I'm sleeping with my music on my scroll tonight.
Blake: Same.
[LATER 5:00 AM.]
Yang: Oooooooohhhhh, Oum, we're so close and we only have 5% LEFT!
Ruby: I applied for this job because there would be pizza! The pizza was a lie!
Weiss: Did that duck leave yet?!
[Ruby checks the right door light.]
Ruby: Phew, yeah he's gone… Opens the right door
Yang: I swear out of all the animatronics here, that's the scariest.
Blake: I'm honestly more scared of Freddy.
Weiss: Why?
Blake: Because at this point he's an enigma. He still hasn't budged from the stage and we don't know what he's capable of.
Ruby: 0%! We're out of power!
[The room goes dark.]
Blake: This…does not bode well…
Ruby: Oh Oum. Oh Oum, oh Oum, oh Oum, oh Oum, we're gonna die…
Weiss: It's just a game…It's just a game…ooooohhh but why does the fear have to feel so real?!
Yang: 6 am….pleeeeeaaaase turn to 6…
[Freddy's theme starts to play.]
Weiss:…wh…where is that coming from…?
Ruby: Uuuummmmm… Pans over to the left door to see Freddy's face in the dark Eeeeeee! Hhhhhiiiiiiiii, Freddyyyyyy...!
Yang: Well Blake, I guess we're about to see what he can do…
Blake: Teddy bears are supposed to be cuddly, not creepy…
Ruby: Neither are ice cream truck sounds…
Weiss: It's not real…it's not real…
[Room goes pitch black.]
Weiss: Mmmmmmmgggghhhhh, it's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's no—
[Clock chimes]
Yang: Did…did we make it…
[Clock switches to 6 am.]
Ruby: WE MADE IT! WEMADEITWEMADEITWEMADEIT! Jumps up and hugs Yang tightly
Yang: Oooohhhhh thank Oum that's over…
Blake: Phew…my heart is going a million miles an hour…I never thought that would happen while watching a video game…
Weiss: I have now found something scarier than Grimm. And it's those monstrosities.
[Screen shows text "2nd Night. 12 am."]
Yang: Uh uh. Nope. Done for the night. Exits to the title screen Sigh…okay…so…that was an ordeal.
Ruby: That was sooooooooooo scary…but it WAS SO MUCH FUN! Oh, man I really really wanna do this again! Can we do this again tomorrow guys, huh? Can we can we?
Blake: Well…fear factor aside…the shared experience itself was…rather enjoy able…strangely enough I feel relaxed. So I suppose we could do this again sometime.
Weiss: I will admit…I was…definitely scared…which I never ever thought would be possible through something so mundane…but…I can't deny…that I…feel like a lot of my stress just…vanished…I feel…really, really calm…still a bit anxious of potential bad dreams…but other than that… deep exhale…it was…actually very nice to do this together…I honestly have no idea how else to explain this…so…if this can immediately erase whatever stress I have…then I say it's worth it…
Ruby: Yay! Oh I can't wait to upload this!
Blake: Wait…do you even know how to edit a video.
[PAUSE]
Ruby: Oh…I didn't think about that.
Yang: Well that's another thing Andrew could help you out with.
Ruby: Oh yeah! Oh, which reminds me. Andrew if you're watching this, thank you SO MUCH for giving me this idea! This was so much fun! If I haven't already by the time you see this video, the next time I see you I'm going to give you a GIANT HUG! You are a supper great person, and I hope I can be your friend! And to everyone else, thanks for watching! If you like this and want to see more, please let us know! Until then, this is Team RWBY, signing off! Bye! Waves
[Cue Psycho Mantis battle (Twin Snakes version) at 1:24.]
Yang: See ya 'round! Waves
Blake: Take care Waves
Weiss: Don't dilly dally too much with watching this.
Yang: C'mon, "mom," say bye to the audience.
Weiss: Sigh Thanks for watching everyone. Good night! Waves
[Music volume raises at 1:40 for outro. Fades away at 2:12.]
AN: Sooooo what do ya think? I REALLY LOVE RWBY! And I couldn't get the idea of them playing horror games (or video games in general), so hey, I decided to make a fan fiction of this. Now, the writing is different from my original way of writing for good reasons. I'm writing this as if it were an actual YouTube video, so I thought it would make more sense to write this in a transcript format as opposed to a regular narrative. I had a blast writing this. Should I do more? If you think I should, please leave a review. Just, y'know, be respectful about it.
Also, just to make things more interesting, why not ask the team RWBY something in your review. However, I have three rules for these. Yeah I know, rules suck, but I have reasons.
Rule #1: Any series related questions you ask must be within the parameters of the events that happened in Volumes 1-2. This rule may or may not change as Team RWBY continue to play games until the inevitable events at the end of Volume 3.
Rule #3: The answers you get will reflect my understanding of the character's personalities, as well as personal thoughts on certain events in the series and ships (as in relationship supporters and whatnot). So whatever answer they give, DON'T GET MAD. I'm not bashing your thoughts of events or ships, just giving my thoughts that are reflected in the form of the respective character's personality and speech pattern.
Also, Blake has still not revealed her Faunus identity to the world, and at this point only her close friends know about that, including JNPR, SSSN, and CVFY (I think), so be careful when asking Blake something.
Other than that, I hope you liked what you read.
Ta ta for now!
