Prologue
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Ninjago or FNAF
It was chilly.
The grey clouds above gathered together. The wind swept through her brown coat and black hair as she approached the somewhat daunting building. It was aged, with vines already able to be seen appearing from the sides, and bricks shown from the krusty paint.
She adjusted her red scarf around her neck with her left hand as she looked ahead. Slamming the car door shut, she walked rather quickly to the pizzeria.
The closer she got, the more she noticed the details of the building. The pizzeria was rather old, being between two tall and modern buildings. That was the huge difference she first noticed when she got to the restaurant a couple of days ago to apply for the job.
Nya looked both ways before quickly rushing across the street, nearly getting run over by a blue car. She quickly yelled a "sorry" to the driver as they continually shouted at her for being in the middle of the road.
She went up to the doors, and brought her hand to the handle. Nya opened it, and walked inside, again fidgeting with her scarf. Her milky brown eyes scanned around the inside. She walked down the rows of long party tables. She noticed that the pizzeria was empty, and gave herself a mental facepalm.
It was Sunday. The only hours the pizzeria was open was from 1pm to 5pm, and it was currently 6:35pm.
Suddenly, Nya noticed the stage from the corner of her eye, which led her to notice the animatronics. The first one she saw was a giant chicken. Wrapped around its neck was a white bib with light blue lacing. On it, a cursive writing wrote "Let's Cook!", along with tiny snowflakes placed all around randomly.
Oh, this must be the chicken. Doesn't it teach how to cook…? Oh, and spew out random facts.
Nya walked along the stage and stared at the next animatronic. The next one featured a brown bear with a top hat. For dancing? She thought. She also noticed that the hat had a golden medallion the size of a quarter. Etched into the medallion was an image of the Earth. She guessed the bear's job was to teach kids the importance for taking care of the planet. Nya looked down and into its left paw, which held a microphone. And to sing, apparently, she thought.
The last animatronic on the stage was a blue rabbit. It had a yellow tie on its neck, and held a blue guitar that had lightning streaks patterned all around.
Oh, I heard about this one. The rabbit is supposed to teach about having creative and innovative ideas, and to build things and never give up on whatever you're building.
She knew more about the rabbit than the other animatronics since it was one of her favorites when she was around five, since she loved building things. At the time, she had always loved going to the pizzeria. She would vaguely even remember playing with her brother and his friends.
Until they disappeared, whispered a dark corner of her mind.
Nya shook her head.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. She scrunched up her face and bit her lip as she tried to keep herself from remembering, and bawling like a baby. Nya distracted herself by walking over to one of the well known places she remembered from when she was a child: Ninja's Cove.
Ninja's cove was hidden by a red curtain that was covered with tiny faces of golden dragons. She couldn't see of what laid behind the curtains, but she remembered that the animatronic was a red fox. Another favorite of hers. The red fox was the one who told the history of Ninjago from top to bottom. Of course that was 16 years ago, and a lot could've, and has, changed.
Nya turned around in a circle, and put on a confused expression. She remembered another animatronic was supposed to be there. A grey wolf, she supposed. Where was it? In another room?
At that point, she heard a door open, and then close.
"Hello", the voice said. It sounded like an old man. "If you're here to schedule another party, I'm afraid you're going to have to schedule one tomorrow, as the restaurant is currently closed." The owner of the voice walked around the corner.
"Ah. Nya."
It was Mr. Wu, the manager of Ninjago's Pizzeria.
Nya started with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Wu. I'm here for my uniform."
Mr. Wu walked down between the narrow tables with a gentle look to his wise face. "Please. I know you, Nya. You used to come here nearly everyday! You don't have to say hello to me. How is the city? Did you move in and get all acquainted?"
After Nya turned eight, she and her caretaker had moved out of the city and into a more quiet and serene place to live after deciding that Ninjago may have been too much for them. Later, a month after her 21st birthday, Nya decided it would had been a good opportunity to move back in.
She smiled brighter.
"Yeah. Though 'lucky' me got some pretty noisy neighbors next door," she sighed, "It was pretty tough to get all settled in. It'll be even more difficult since I don't really know anybody in Ninjago." She placed her small purse onto one of the party tables and walked up to the old man.
Mr. Wu turned but still faced her as he said, "Well, if you ever need help or anything else, I'm right over here in my musty and suffocating office."
They both chuckled.
"Don't worry," she laughed a bit, "I'll make sure I do, and get you out of there."
They both entered said office, and Nya immediately understood why he made a joke about the small room.
The office area was all cluttered. Ninjago Pizzeria merchandise was scattered everywhere, plushies hanging off of shelves and nearly falling. There were also posters hung on the walls along with crude drawings of the animatronics made by little children. Papers were also scattered everywhere, and the paint of the office walls were peeling off a bit.
Nya stood there, face shocked, before saying, "And if you ever need my help with cleaning your office, I will definitely be here in the next minute with a duster and broom."
"Heh heh. I will not hesitate to ask." He sat down in the desk chair and gestured to a seat in the corner. Nya dragged it over in front of the desk, and sat down neatly before putting a stray hair strand behind her ear.
"Alright then," Wu started out, taking out a couple of papers on her. "Everything seems to be in working order." He threw the papers behind him. Wu then took a teapot that was sitting on the right of his desk, and poured it into a china cup in front of him. He took a quick sip before talking.
"I just need to ask a few questions."
"Um, alright, " Nya replied with a weird look, still trying to process why he just threw her papers behind into the growing pile of more, and crumpled, papers.
"Are you a good team player?"
"Um, yes?"
"Mmm Hmm. Do you love kids?"
"Yup."
"Great. Now the most important question. Do you like tea."
"Huh?"
"You heard me," Mr. Wu smiled mischievously.
"I suppose," Nya scratched her head.
"Congratulations. You passed the test. Here is your attire, and the restaurant keys. Don't lose them." He gave the security guard clothes folded into Nya's hands which he pulled out of from a drawer. Mr. Wu gave her the keys on top of the clothes right after. "Ah, and here's your ID. I already put in the photo from your resume." He handed the ID over.
Nya was exasperated. "W-why are you giving me the job? You didn't even look through my resume!"
"Because," Wu stood up from the chair and started leaving the office, Nya following, "I trust you."
Nya stuttered, trying to find a reply but to no avail.
"Don't worry, Nya. Just get some rest for tomorrow. Your going to have to get ready for your first night. Oh, I almost forgot," he pulled out a piece of paper, "Here's your time schedule. Remember to get here precisely before 12pm. Your shift ends at 6pm."
Nya took the paper and folded it into her pocket, along with grabbing her purse from the party table.
"Alright," she sighed, "I'll be there. Thanks again, Mr. Wu." With that, she stepped outside of the pizzeria, and waved back to the old, wise man. She headed back towards her parked car, prepared for what lied on Monday.
