Interview of A Night Guard

AUTHORS NOTES: For the sercuity room, I've decided to keep with the room from the first game, but with vents...I figured it'd be silly having a room with no doors. Though in the game, I'll admit it's effective.

DECEMBER 2013

MONDAY. 1ST NIGHT.

You have no idea how excited I was to start my new job at Freddy's, I was like a little kid in a sweet shop, I just wanted to go in and never come out. I arrived at the place and it was eerily dark, like it had been closed down again...a few lights flickering on the outside and maybe a few dim litted inside but I wasn't worried, I mean...when you've seen what I've seen, you just get used to the idea...darkness became my new light I suppose, it sounds crazy but that's how I saw it...

I walked up to the door and it was locked, figures as the place closes at 10pm...of course, I saw this as a problem as I had no ket to get inside and start my shift.

"Bollocks...", I remember cursing, you can understand why, I didn't want to be a let down on my first shift, oh sure, the pay was shit but it was better than nothing and I knew this would be the best job ever, I just didn't want to lose that because of some idiot not waiting for me to pass the keys over...as an impulse, I decided to go down the alley way, around the the building, I figured there would be a back door, fire exit maybe...or even an open window...After a few seconds I saw a shadow down the back, clearly smoking as it shone through a beam of light coming from a street lamp... I wasn't fazed by this shadow, I mean, he was there for a reason...of course it never accured to me that he could've been a drug dealer, a weirdo or some sort of loonetic...I just wanted to get in the building.

"Excuse me..." I cried out. "Excuse me, sir..."

The figure quickly acknowleged my voice and came into the light...I remember him so clearly. He was wearing a black bowler hat, a neatly pressed brown jacket, white shirt underneath, black bow tie and brown trousers matching his jacket...fat, well slighty fat, not overweight but fat and a bushy mustache...like he was almost stuck in the 60's, in fact...he looked like a humanized Freddy...yeah, it was quite uncanny...though he was only in his late fourties but looked much older. Anyway, he came into the light, like I said...

"Can I help you, sir?" asked the man

"Yes, I suppose you can! I'm suppose to be starting my shift soon, you see I'm the new night guard-"

"Ah, the new Night Guard?"

"Yes and...well, it's stupid but...I haven't got a key to get in and-"

"Not to worry" He interrupted with a smile. "I've got a key, I work here..."

"Oh right..."

"I'm sorry, I was going to wait out the front for you as I'm guessing no one told you the place closes at 10pm" He was still smiling and pulled a key out of his pocket and passed it onto me.

"Oh, no worries" I had to admit, I giggled in my head when I recieved the key, the start of a magical evening. "What was you doing down here anyway?"

This question seemed to stop the man in his tracks, as it were. His smile dissapeared and just stared at me for a few seconds but felt like long minutes. He sort of sighed and put out his cigarette, that puzzled me as he was only half way through, I don't smoke but if I was a smoker I'd certainly not waste a fag like that.

"I better go..." he said, like I ruined his day. He started walking off.

"Wait!" I said. "I...don't know where the office is..."

"You'll find it, I'm sure..." No emotion in his voice.

"Well...hey, wait...I haven't even introduced myself yet! My names Mi-"

"Please!" He turned around with a stern look on his face. "No names. I don't want to know your name!" he said honestly. "To be honest, it'd be pointless getting to know you...and frankly I don't expect to see you in the morning...unless it's in a body bag...or a suit..."

"Why's that?" I said, with a cheeky smile...I had a hunch on what he was going on about. He looked at me angrily, he obviously didn't like my confident attitute, though I thought it'd be interesting what his answer would be. He then had a wide smile, a little chuckle and shook his head, maybe in disbelief.

"Check the phone in the office, there's a message on there. Everything will be explained then" he said, turned and just walk away, into the night. I watched him for a while untill I couldn't see him, I was trying to figure him out...a strange man, it was odd that he didn't tell me his name...or what his job role was at the parlour, I figured he was some sort of manager of some type...then again, a boring guy like him could never be a manager here, not at a place where it's full of fun and wonder. Well, within seconds I forgot all about it...I had the key, the key to a new life by then, money didn't matter...I wanted to suprise my friends...I couldn't wait to see their faces...and Chica's face... I put the key in the lock, turned, click...unlocked, the sound echoing in my ears...it was really happening. My first night.

It didn't take me long to find the office, considering there were signs everywhere. When I found it, I thought it was a bit odd having two doors opposite each other but then again it made sense in case of a fire, both lead to corridors that would lead to the main room, some accessing different rooms, though it was easy to find rooms. I took my jacket off, remembering I didn't have a uniform...I figured they'd give me one after my first day but I noticed one hanging on a coat rack, I took it and checked the size, M, medium...what d'ya know, my size and a perfect fit...it was just a simple grey shirt with the Freddy Fazbear's logo...I was already wearing black trousers, so but the utility belt instead...a baton, torch, a chain of keys and a...gun? I never held a gun before, it took me a while to pull the clip out...it was a full clip and I pushed it back in, click. I loved that sound and I'll admit..I felt like a badass but I didn't think I'll need it...at least not yet anyway. I was ready to start...I wanted to meet my friends and suprise them. But first, I wanted a little kip, I didn't get much sleep during the day, so I needed a few hours to catch up, my friends can wait...so I sat in the chair, moved the fan and put my feet up...that fan was noisey so I turned it off. Within seconds I was out like a light...

11.57pm...That was a good nap, I felt better for it but when I woke up, the first thing I remembered was the fat chap wanted me to listen to the message on the phone. The phone was showing a digital "1" in its red lighting...I shrugged and pushed the speaker button...some static at first and then a voice...

"Hello, hello...hello?" That voice...? I swear the phone guy was the voice of the man I spoke earier outside the back but the phone guy is somewhat nonchalant, charming almost and had a strange positive attitute and there is absolutely no explanation as to why...again I shrugged it off and listen to the voice.

"Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um...I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact" That explained alot...wait...didn't Freddy mention that the night guard was the murderer, I thought... "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?"

Intriged, I carried on listening.

The phone guy continued: "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. 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, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. 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". Haha, I guess I'd be annoyed too. "So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay"

Fair enough, I thought.

"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. 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. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?"

I already knew this of course...I witness the 1987 incident as I mentioned before but didn't know about the servo's locking up...this made sense about the free roam mode though.

"Uh...now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. 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. 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. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. 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"

Hmm, I thought again...I'm guessing that my friends were gonna use the same treatment to the murderer what he did to them...almost like justice.

"Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night"

I'm also guessing that not many people have gone for this job but again Freddy mentioned it was the same night guard that's been here for years...why he's decided to quit more is beyond me...had I been...talking to the murderer...? But I'd find those answers sooner or later, first...I wanted to see my friends...maybe they had the answers...

I walked down the corridor and found the main stage easily, the door was closed and I could hear movement...I chuckled, thinking that their "free roaming" had started. I turned the knob slowly and opened it slightly, just enough to get a peek of the room, I smiled when I saw the four huddled together, chatting about something...but my first sight was their faces...full of anger...near rage, I eventrally managed to eavesdrop...

"He's here, it's time" snarled Freddy.

"It's been too long...he can't keep out smarting us!" said Bonnie angrily. "We have to teach him a lesson"

"We'll get him this time!" said Chica, menacingly

"Arr...he'll pay for what he did!" snarled Foxy

I felt nervous in a good way, I'd just pop in and tell them the good news but then...their eyes turned black, replaced with...red dots, then turning white...they smiled evily, the eyes seemed to suck into their heads...Chica took her beak off...unnervingly cute, like a yellow smooth pumpkin but creepy at the sametime, then they jolted their heads towards me.

"Oh fuck!" I whispered, panic sinking in.

"LET'S EAT!" Shouted Chica, her weird grining mouth not moving.

"LET'S STUFF HIM" Shouted Bonnie

"ARRR! LET'S RIP HIS FLESH" Shouted Foxy.

"LET'S END THIS!" Finished Freddy and within seconds they all ran to the door.

"SHIT" I screamed, weather they heard me or not wasn't my concern, I needed to get back to the office as quick as I could, lock the doors and explain the situtation and hopfully tell them their making a mistake...I guess they were never told or heard anything about a new night guard. They still thought they were hunting the murderer. I was in deep shit, if I didn't do anything.

I managed to get to the office and closed the doors, both of them. I was still in a panic...I grabbed the tablet which had surveillance to all rooms...I checked all of them...nothing...I repeated this pattern and still none...I clicked on the corridor camera...Foxy was running towards the office. "Fuck"

BANG BANG.

I dropped the tablet, lucky it didn't smash but I was frozen to the spot...they were still banging at the door.

"OPEN THE DOOR!" Said a female voice. "OPEN UP" said another voice, I was to fucking scared to tell you who said them... "YOU MUST MEET WITH JUSTICE, YOU BASTARD!"

I didn't know what to do, I had to do something and quick...even if I still had 6 hours to go...they weren't gonna wait nor stop.
