Greetings and Salutations! I tried a story like this on my old account, and I kept the name for the most part, but I think this version of it may be much better than that first attempt.

Hope you guys enjoy, and... I don't know, listen to some FNAF songs or something.

I recommend Will Ryan or DAGames he's really good

"A mechanic? What for?" Jason asked.

Recap; Leo, Piper, and Jason were camping out in Half-Blood hill for a picnic, and a random dude with a purple security guard outfit walked up to them and asked for a mechanic, or technician, or whatever they were after. Piper and Jason being Piper and Jason went immediately into overprotective mode.

Leo mentally facepalmed. He was the one with the fire powers, yet his best friends insisted on protecting him from every little threat. That was probably his own fault, though. Going down in a fiery explosion, dying, then coming back to life two months later tends to do that to people.

"That's classified information. We just need a mechanic," said the guard.

"I'm the guy," Leo said. Piper and Jason looked at him funny, but he ignored them.

"Come to this location. The hand unit will tell you what to do," the guard said. Leo nodded and took the card he was being offered.

The guard walked off, and Jason and Piper wheeled on Leo.

"What was that, Valdez?!" Piper demanded. Leo just shrugged.

"You guys can come too, if you're so worried," he said.

Wassup? Imma linebreak

"You know, I really just meant Jason and Piper," Leo said, annoyance in his voice. Percy and Annabeth had decided to tag along as well.

"Just making sure there are no more fiery explosions," Percy said, patting his pocket.

"So you're gonna bust out Riptide and slice off some heads if I die?" Leo asked. Percy opened and closed his mouth like a hungry fish, which he is. Just don't tell him Leo thought that, and we're good.

"I'll take that as a yes," Leo said, stepping into the elevator.

Once everyone was inside, the doors closed and they started descending. There were posters on the walls, but Leo didn't pay much attention to them.

Then a voice came out of nowhere, causing the demigods to jump.

"Welcome to the first day of your exciting new career. Whether you were approached at a job fair, read our ad in Screws, Bolts, and Hairpins, or if this is the result of a dare, we welcome you. I will be your personal guide to help you get started. I'm a model 5 of the Handyman's Robotics and Unit-Repair System, but you can call me Hand-Unit. Your new career promises challenge, intrigue and endless janitorial opportunities."

A yellow screen with the name "Mike" popped up right in front of Leo's face, but he didn't even blink. Piper, who was beside him, jumped when it appeared.

"Please enter your name as seen above the keypad. This cannot be changed later so please be careful," said the Hand Unit. Leo shrugged and tried to type in "Bad Boy Supreme," but the elevator was shaking too hard and he didn't press all the right letters.

"It seems that you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type, and I will auto-correct it for you. One moment. Welcome: Eggs Benedict."

Leo laughed hard at the name, as did Percy. Jason, Piper, and Annabeth seemed to be getting bad vibes from this one elevator ride.

They rode the rest of the way down, Leo and Percy cracking the occasional joke. Finally they reached the bottom, where a tiny bent sat in front of them.

"You can now open the elevator using that bright, red and obvious button. Let's get to work!"

Leo pressed it, and the vent opened up for them.

"See guys? This isn't so bad!" Leo said, crawling through the vent. It reminded him of working on Festus's body again, right before he-

No, no, no. No thoughts about your explosion. Bad Valdez, he chided himself. Despite his easygoing nature about it, Leo was a little unnerved about his death. He expected Hades to show up any minute and drag him back to the underworld. He needed something to take his mind off Hades and his death.

Thankfully, Hand Unit came back online.

"Allow me to fill this somewhat frightening silence with some light-hearted banter. Due to the massive success and even more-so the unfortunate closing of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, it was clear that the stage was set – no pun intended – for another contender in children's entertainment. Unlike most entertainment venues, our robotic entertainers are rented out for private parties during the day, and it's your job to get the robots back in proper working order before the following morning."

"Wait, did he just say Freddy Fazbear's?" Percy asked. Leo nodded ahead of him.

"Yeah, why?"

"My mom said she went there once," Percy said. "She mentioned something strange about the animatronics there, that they smelled like decaying bodies or something, and they were moldy and glitchy."

Leo's stomach did a backflip. Bodies?

"She also mentioned something about 1983, but I can't remember what it was," Percy said.

Leo emerged into a small room with buttons on the left and right sides, plus two windows. The others followed him out.

"Whoa, What is this?" Annabeth asked. Piper was inspecting the buttons, and Jason poked the nose of one of the clown faces in there. It squeaked.

"You are now in the Primary Control Module. It's actually a crawlspace between the two front showrooms. Now, let's get started with your daily tasks. View the window to your left. This is the Ballora Gallery Party Room and Dance Studio, encouraging kids to get fit and enjoy pizza. Let's turn on the light and see if Ballora is on stage. Press the blue button on the elevated keypad to your left."

Piper pressed it, and a lift cane on in the room to their left. It looked like a stage, and there was something on it-an animatronic dressed as a ballerina.

"Uh-oh, it looks like Ballora doesn't feel like dancing. Let's give her some motivation. Press the red button now to administer a controlled shock. Maybe that will put a spring back in her step."

"Did he say 'shock'?" Jason asked. Leo nodded and pressed the red button. An electrical shock went through the room, startling them all.

"Let's check the light again," suggested the Hand Unit. Piper pressed the blue button again, but this time the figure on stage was twirling.

"Guys, the robot is moving!" Percy squeaked.

"So she is…" Leo muttered.

"Excellent. Ballora is feeling like her old self again and will be ready to perform again tomorrow. Now, view the window to your right. This is the Funtime Auditorium, where Funtime Foxy encourages kids to play and share. Try the light, let's see what Funtime Foxy is up to."

Piper pressed the button on the right side of the entrance. There was another stage, with another animatronic. Except this one resembled a fox or a wolf.

"Looks like Funtime Foxy is taking the day off. Let's motivate Funtime Foxy with a controlled shock."

"I don't like the idea of a 'controlled shock', and I don't think the animatronics would, too," Jason said nervously. Leo pushes the red button, and watched as an electric blue current flowed through the room.

When the handunit didn't say anything, Piper pushes the blue button again, but Funtime Doxy was still not moving.

"Let's try another controlled shock."

Leo ignored Jason's muttering as he shocked Foxy yet again. Piper checked the light, and sure enough, Foxy was moving.

"Looks like Funtime Foxy is in perfect working order, great job! In front of you is another vent shaft. Crawl through it to reach the Circus Gallery Control Module."

"I-I wanna stay here," Jason said. Leo gave him a quizzical look. "Sorry, it's just… I'm getting bad vibes from that room."

Leo nodded and headed in alone. He didn't want to leave Jason all by himself, especially if he was this freaked out.

Now that Leo thought about it, it was unlike Jason to freak like this. Unnatural, even.

He crawled through the small vent shaft, finally reaching the other side. He stood up in a tiny room, barely bigger than a janitor's closet. There was a giant glass window in front of him, and a blue and red button to either side. A control panel of some sort tested against the glass.

"On the other side of the glass is Circus Baby's Auditorium. Let's check the light, and see what Baby is up to."

Leo pressed the blue button on his right, but no lights came on inside the room, which made his heart skip a beat.

"Looks like a few of the lights are out, but we can fix that later."

Why not now? Leo thought.

"Let's encourage Baby to cheer up with a controlled shock."

Leo pressed the red button, which sent an electrical current more powerful than the others into the room. There was no sound from inside, and the lights still didn't work.

"Let's try another controlled shock."

Leo pressed the button again, but there still was no sound. Leo's heart started pounding.

"Let's try another controlled shock."

Was it just him, or did the Hand Unit's voice… change?

Leo pressed it again, heart hammering against his ribs as though Hephaestus himself were pounding a shield in his chest. There still was no sound.

"Great job Circus Baby, we knew we could count on you! That concludes your duties for your first night on the job. We don't want you to leave overwhelmed, otherwise you might not come back. Please leave using the vent behind you, and we'll see you again tomorrow."

Now Leo knew what Jason was talking about. Something didn't feel right about this janitor's closet… and the fact that there was absolutely no sound coming from the room… that freaked him out.

Leo turned around, grabbed his friends, and they headed back to camp. One thought came back to him, though, of earlier…

Why did they need a technician? And if the handunit knew exactly what Leo needed to do, and these messages were prerecorded for technicians…

What happened to the others?
