The Job
"Well, you three seem legit." The manager said. He called Riku back to schedule a meeting with them and so far, things went pretty smoothly. "Definitely what we're looking for, the perfect night guards. Sadly, it's hard to find good help nowadays."
"How come?" Kairi asked curiously.
"Well… There might have been some… accidents."
"Accidents?" Riku asked.
"Yes, regarding the animatronics. They're not allowed to roam around during the day because of an incident back a long time ago, ever heard of the Bite of '87?"
The trio shook their heads. Neither of them were aware of the incident that took place here, but they also didn't want to know.
"Well, it involved one of the animatronics biting out a customer's frontal lobe. Poor kid…"
The trio felt a sudden shiver down their spines at the thought. An animatronic was able to do that?
"Well, enough drama. C'mon." The manager gestured them to come with him. They were feeling slightly uncertain about this. The manager took the three of them to the stage where the animatronics stood. "I believe you, considering that you used to come here, should recognize who these guys are." He pointed to the three animatronics on the stage, a brown bear with black top hat and bow tie, a yellow chicken with a bib that said,"Let's Eat!", and a purple bunny with a red bow tie.
Sora looked closely at them, "Oh, yeah! Now I remember! Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie."
"They're just like how we remembered them." Kairi added.
Riku furrowed his brow, "So, they're always stuck here in one place 24/7?"
"No, we prefer to let them roam at night. If we keep them off for too long, their servo motors would lock up and they can't operate."
"I see… So, what exactly happens when they're roaming around at night?"
The manager went stiff. "Uh… perhaps you should listen to the recordings left by the last night guard, since he knows from experience about what they do during the night."
The trio glanced at each other with uncertainty.
Hasty to change the subject, the manager gestured them to come with him again. "Here, let me lead you to your office." The manager led them to the office where they were supposed to be during their night shifts. He handed them a tablet, "You can monitor the cameras from here. Show up in your uniforms, you start at 12 to 6. Never leave the office."
"Why?" Kairi questioned.
"Erm, no reason. Just don't leave during your shift."
Sora and Kairi looked at Riku who shrugged.
"Also this place has a limited power supply so whatever you do, don't waste it. Close the doors if you need to." The manager scratched his chin in thought, "I think that's everything, you three start tomorrow."
They nodded and the manager smiled, "Welcome to the Fazbear Family."
