Hello once again. I don't have much to say since this has only really started but I can at least express how much I actually missed doing this. Although I have to write with my phone which does make it a little harder but it gets the job done. Anyway, enjoy the next chapter!
I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest, though I wasn't 100% sure why I was this scared. I atmosphere and situation combined created a crushing tension, but I pressed on trying not to think of the worst. I stopped just outside the office, out of view from the door. I remembered the glove I kept in the pocket of my jacket. I had always kept it on when in public or around people I didn't know. I was always self-conscious about my prosthetic hand, even in a time like this. I slip on the glove, take a deep breath and decide to call out one more time. "Hello? Anyone there? I mean no harm, just looking for my sister Elise... Hello?" I heard nothing but the echo of my own voice. Well shit, there goes taking things easy.
Suddenly, I hear movement in the office. Rather than call out again, I slowly creep my head around the corner of the doorframe. It's... empty? Breathing a short sigh of relief, I step inside the office. Maybe a little investigation wouldn't hurt. The office looked the same as the rest of the building; messy, dark and rather creepy. There were drawings stuck on the wall, most likely by the kids, and a poster of the animatronic cast. Brown bear, purple bunny and yellow chicken. Don't know their names, don't plan on learning them. There are some newspaper articles scattered around the floor, they seem to be from random dates and feature stories that centre around this place. I decide not to read them as I have better things to do. Besides, in my opinion...
The less I know about this place, the better...
Looking at the layout of the cramped office, it looks like it was meant to protect someone from pretty serious trouble. The doors looked like they'd be better off at a high security prison. I see a monitor of some sort on the ground, upon picking it up and inspecting further, it looks like a pretty advanced camera system. I didn't think a place like this would need this much advanced security. It's a god damn pizza place for kids featuring singing, anthropomorphic animatronics. Speaking of which, the cameras seem to be focused on them on their stage. "Christ, the three sinister furries." I chuckle to myself in an attempt to make light of the situation. I try to switch cameras as their faces began to creep me out, but the monitor kept glitching out and stayed at the same camera. Maybe it wasn't so advanced after all.
I prepare to walk out of the room when something catches my eye. Looking at the back wall, I see literally nothing. No drawings or anything. The light flickers and just for a split second, I could swear I saw words sprawled on the wall. 'ALIVE?' I think it read. I jump back slightly, my heart beating frantically again. "What the f... What am I, crazy?" Cautiously, I step backwards and begin to turn around. Elise. That's all that matters right now.
Walking down the right hallway, I begin to grow frustrated. Where the hell could she be. "Wait, she worked in the kitchen!" I smile on the outside while eating myself on the inside for not thinking about that sooner. I powerwalk back to the dining area to try and get my bearings, trying to ignore the terrifying trio that was on stage. I see two doors at saying 'staff only' one two opposite ends of the room. One of those had to be the kitchen, right? Walking to the one to the left of the stage, I find that it's already slightly ajar. Opening it further, I discover a room full of disembodied costume heads and random spare parts. There also seems to be some sort of weird skeletal robot sitting on the bench that was in the centre of the room. It seemed to be inactive, fortunately for me.
The only thing I got from that room was nightmares, moving on to door number two. This one was closed, I try to open it only to find that it was also locked. Figures. With nothing better to do, I begin to hammer on it. "Elise! Elise are you in there! Fucking hell, come on!" My frustration grows and I begin ramming into the door harder and harder. "AH GOD FUCKING DAMMIT JUST OPEN!" I was shouting at the top of my lungs at this point, I also began to actually feel the pain from repeatedly ramming into the door so many times.
Although it wasn't all for nothing. Behind me, I heard something. The sounds of something... starting up. I turn around and hide behind a table, peeking over it slightly. The purple rabbit was moving. He was fucking moving. I watch as he lifts his head and opens his eyes. I crouch down and silently whisper to myself.
"Shit..."
And there ya have it, chapter 2. Was it good? Was it bad? Well in my opinion... eh. Of course it's your opinion that really matters. We're gonna be getting into some fun stuff now, believe me. I've been playing a lot of bloodborne recently, my mind is quite fucked up. But anyway, hope you enjoyed!
