End of note}

{playing around with some bois. No real timeline placement except far far future}

Bugz had come into the room in a panic. He was screeching incomprehensibly and running in circles. Quills managed to calm him down enough that now he was huddled in the corner squeezing a pillow tight enough that Marie thought it might burst. The commotion was loud enough that even Malhare, someone who prided himself on not giving a flying f-ck about what the twisted bots were doing, had formed and was leaning into the living room.

"Okay, what's got the bunny worked up this time?" Malhare asked, despite living here for about a month now, he had yet to learn whatever strange language the twisted bunny spoke, to the virtual rabbit, it sounded like insect Drabble.

"Something freaked him out, I don't know what, he won't talk about it, not to me anyway" Walker answered, the twisted fox was leaning against the wall near VRabbit. Malhare blinked and turned his attention back to the shaking bunny, Marie was siting with him now trying to help calm him down, she ended up in one of the robot's tight hugs and malhare knew she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. "Welp, I don't think I can help So... I'll be in the office" the glitchy rabbit excused himself and zapped back into the office that had practically become his bedroom. He leaned back in the office chair and crossed his legs. He told himself he wouldn't care about what the twisted ones were doing, but he found himself thinking about the situation. Sure Bugz was excitable, but for as long as he's been living here he hasn't seen the bunny freak out that bad over anything. And the way everyone was reacting this was new to them too. He ended up lost in thought, slipping into his own memories.

It was cold, and dark, he felt light, to light, floaty. He was scared, shaking, with a loud cry he begged for help. Someone, anyone please HELP ME! He saw a pair of glowing white eyes looking at him, they glowed with sympathy.

Malhare opened his eyes. He realized that he was now gripping the side of the chair tightly and released his hold with a sigh. Why now? There was already one bunny here having a crisis last thing this house needs are two panicking rabbits. He was about to distract himself with hacking the computer and doing... something when the door creaked open. Malhare looked over and spotted Poppet letting himself in, Vrabbits room or not this was the only office in the house, he came to expect people letting themselves in.

"Did you come for the computer? Because I was using it" he said then put on a mischievous smile. "You're gonna have to fight me for it, yogi bear" the twisted bear didn't even give him any response, he simply pushed the office chair with the bunny out of the way and knelt to use the computer. "Wh- hey! I was talking to you!" Malhare's voice cracked in surprise. He tried multiple times to get the bears attention but nothing worked. He soon decided he'd do better just looking over the animatronics shoulder. "Ok so what was so important that you had to shove me aside for it?" His curiosity won over and he had to ask.

"Afton Robotics" Poppet answers smoothly, in his usual gruff voice. He seemed to be looking at news articles. "Looks closed" malhare got the feeling that this wasn't just a one off curiosity search. If the movies he watched and the information he got off these bots was anything to go by, it looked to malhare that this bear was preparing for some kind of mission. He leaned in close with a grin and whispered. "Whatever you're planning... I want in."

Poppet looked back at him and raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious?" He asked, the virtual rabbit nodded. "Come on! Please? I haven't done anything with you guys before. Put me in coach!" He had an excited grin, poppet looked skeptical, so malhare added "I won't tell Marie if you let me join in."

"That's what I expected." The bear sighed "fine, but you have to do as I say. We can't risk getting caught." Malhare agreed to the conditions. So The twisted Freddy started explaining.

"Bugz told me he was remembering something he knows he didn't experience. At least not on duty. I know a bit about the whole ghost thing so I was thinking, maybe if we got a name we could attach a face to the memories." Malhare nodded to show he was listening. But his thoughts wandered back to memories he was getting. "Makes sense... he'd want an explanation for stuff like that" the rabbit mumbles, poppet continued to explain the plan; he, malhare, and Bugz would sneak in that night and look for case files, "when we were working we were always given files on our targets."

"Wow, sounds efficient... hm, any chance we could meet one of these targets?" Malhare half joked, Poppet responded by looking at him grimly.

"Nobody who was on our radar ever lived to tell the tale" he answered with deadly seriousness. VRabbit winced. "Yikes.."

poppet seemed to get the information he needed and stood up. "If you're coming you'll have to hide so we can sneak you out, I can make an excuse for Bugz and I but if you were seen then they might get suspicious." The bear explained. Malhare knew what he was saying and grumbled unhappily. "Don't keep me in your stomach too long" he huffed and faded back into his plush form. It was his only means of escape in the past, and was technically his 'true form' now, it's thanks to the twisted bots illusion technology and his own ability that he was able to manifest as anything other then a dumb plush rabbit. Poppet picked up the plushy and quietly shoved it into his stomach pocket. Then he went to get Bugz and soon the three had left.

————————

Malhare wasn't sure how much time had passed, he was sure they were traveling, but however long it was malhare decided it was too long spent in someone's pocket. So he raised his voice to be heard. "Are we there yet?"

"Almost." The bear answered.

The rabbit grumbles unhappily. "Do I gotta stay in here the whole time or can I walk?"

The bear answered his question by pulling the plush rabbit out of his pocket and tossing him ahead a few feet.

Malhare materialized in a blitz of static and rolled to his feet. "Hey! You didn't have to toss me" he huffed as the bear continued to walk ahead.

"Gave you time to form. Now keep up, if you get lost I'm not coming back for you" the bear stated simply. Malhare dusted off his vest and followed behind.

Bugz was mostly quiet throughout the whole journey, malhare at one point just hopped onto his back and hitched a ride, idly humming as an old building started to peak into view. Bugz's ears turned up and he ran ahead to get a better look, malhare barely had time to hold on as the purple rabbit bound ahead. Poppet quickened his own pace and soon the three were at the doors of the abandoned Afton Robotics building.

"So... do we just walk in or do we gotta break in?" Malhare hoped it was the latter, but Poppet pushed open the door with an unceremonious creak.

"...you guys are no fun" malhare pouted as they all walked inside.

The building was old and covered in spiderwebs. It smelled like rusted iron and oil. Poppet lead the way as he pushed through the old boxes and rusted parts to an innocent looking wall. Malhare tilted his head. "What's this then? Magic wall?"

"You could call it that" poppet answered while digging his claws into a near invincible slit on the wall. With some effort the twisted bear was able to pry the secret door open with a drawn out SCREECH. Once the door was open the bear walked ahead inside, the two rabbits close behind. One of malhare's whiskers buzzed and he looked up spotting a camera. "Watch out Yogi, we're being watched." Poppet followed the rabbits gaze and shook his head. "Those won't be an issue, nobody's going to look at them"

"You sure about that?"

"Would you like to ensure nothing can be found on them then?" Poppet nodded towards the cameras, malhare grinned mischievously.

"Oh absolutely." And in a burst of green and purple static the rabbit was gone, causing Bugz to make a surprised chirp. Poppet looked up at the camera and waited, moments later green and purple static danced around the devise before in a burst of static the camera died, this continued for any other cameras throughout the facility before malhare reappeared next to Poppet In a burst of static. He bounced on his feet. "Woohoo!! That was fun! Let's do that again." The rabbit exclaimed while Poppet rolled his eyes. "Another time, we've still got files to find." The bear responded and the three continued deeper into the building.

——————

Soon enough they found a room that looked like an office. Bugz made a curious skrill as he started poking his head around the room. Poppet, however, zeros right into the large grey filing cabinet against the wall. As the twisted bear pulled open a drawer filled with files Malhare followed and poked his head over the bears shoulder. The rabbit let out a low whistle. "That's a lot of files, are those all people you had to uh... you know.." Poppet quiet, then answers the rabbits silent question by opening the other two shelves. Malhares ears dropped immediately, "well shit."

"We were a very popular option for the job" Malhare stayed quiet as the bear dug through the files. "Ah, good, they're still in order." Poppet mumbles while sectioning off a bunch of files. "Bugs! Come take a look at this" The Twisted bunny's ears swiveled over when called, and soon he was jogging over to the filing cabinet. "Look though these, let me know if anything clicks" poppet instructed while handing the bunny a handful of files.

"So...anything I can do or-" malhare was sitting at the top of the cabinet. Bugz made some clicking noise in response.

"Still have no idea what you're saying Bugzie"

Bugz makes a unsurprised but disappointed expression and looks back to the files.

"You can sit there and not break anything" poppet deadpanned as he sorted through the files still in the cabinet. VRabbit gave a thumbs up and crossed his legs. "Sounds like a plan, Yogi"

It quickly became apparent that this would take a while and the digital rabbit was just as quickly becoming incredibly bored. Both twisted bots were just quietly reading over files, occasionally Bugz would make a noise but it didn't seem to be much since even poppet didn't have much of a reaction. So Malhare was just sitting there, tugging his whiskers, and bored stiff. "Okay you know what!?" Malhare got up and sat next to the pile of files Bugz had discarded, "I'm looking through these."

"You won't like what's in those-"

"Yah yah well if I get nightmares for a week then I've got nobody to blame but myself." Malhare stuck his tongue out at Poppet and opened the file.

Inside the file was a bust picture of someone, a name, age etc basic information, a background on the target, reason for the hit, and the specific hit requirements. This poor sap in particular was supposed to be taken out and made to look like a hunting accident.

And now malhare is trying to imagine Bugz using a gun, he can't decide if that's hilarious or intimidating.

It felt like forever but eventually Bugz seemed to find what he was looking for, he just suddenly stood up and held out a file to Poppet. The bear looks up to the file then Bugz. "Think this is the one?" He asked, the rabbit responded with a nod, he took the file and opened it, malhare soon scittered over to look at it too;

'Name: Oliver Mason

Gender: male

Age: 25

Nationality: Australian

Occupation: Entomologist

Reason for hit: client said he knows information that they don't want exposed, how he found this out I'm not sure, but it's not my job to ask questions

Clients request: make it seem like a tragic accident; attacked and killed by wild animals.

Bot sent out: twisted Bonnie

Status on hit: success'

Attached to the file was a picture of the man, he looked skinny, had bright hair that was spiky, and peach fuzz on his chin.

"This was your first hit wasn't it?" Poppet asked which the rabbit nodded to. The bear is quiet as he closes the file and sticks it into his stomach pocket. "Then we've got what we need, we should clean up and head back home."

"Finally! I'm so done reading about people's messed up murder fantasies." Malhare raises his hand and went to put the files he was looking at back into the cabinet, it didn't take long before everything was put away and they were all ready to leave.

But poppet paused.

"Well, are you coming Yogi?" Malhare asked, already at the door following behind Bugz.

"I'll... I'll be with you in a moment, I want to check something." The bear excused before walking back into the office. Malhare looked back at him for a moment before shrugging and catching up with twisted Bonnie again.

~~~~~~

Twisted freddy went back into the office and pulled open the cabinet door, Bugz said the memories probably came from his first target, and Poppet suspected the rest of them were like Bugz.

They were haunted.

It wouldn't be long before someone else would probably get some memories of whatever ghost was housed in them's past life. And poppet was nothing if not always prepared. He quickly sorted through and pulled out the first hits of each Twisted animatronic, and carefully stored them in his pocket. He paused when pulling out his own, he opened it, wondering if he would recognize the name or face. He didn't, he just had a melancholy feeling of regret wash over him when he looked at the picture, he shook his head and closed the file. Soon it too joined the storage pocket and the bear finally left the room.

~~~~~~~

Bugz and Malhare were waiting outside the building, chatting.

"I'm just saying, bowser is a good fighter but Bowser Jr is way better."

Bugz made a hissing noise.

"Oh don't At me, Jr. is great you just can't play him well." Malhare protested, since apparently defending his smash main was very important to him.

"Apologies for the wait, let's get going" poppet closed the door behind him and malhare gives an exaggerated sigh, "finally! I was worried you got stuck for a minute there. Let's get moving then!" Malhare hopped into Bugz's back, which the rabbit tilted his head to but didn't protest, as Poppet once again took the lead.

"When we get close I'll have to put you back into storage."

"God don't remind me, it smelled like a dentist in there" VRabbit stuck his tongue out and the bear lightly chuckled in response. Bugz made a teasing noise and malhare let out an exaggerated gasp. "Oh you're just rude! You have no pity for my suffering" malhare declared dramatically while putting his hand on his chest.

"Die mad then" poppet laughed as they exited the abandoned lot.

—————————

They had gotten home relatively easily, and nobody seemed to notice they were gone. Malhare slipped back into his office bedroom and rolled back into the chair. He stared at the ceiling for a minute and hummed in frustration. But he didn't get long to settle into the feeling when the office door creaked open, Malhare looked up to find Bugz letting himself in, the purple rabbit closed the door behind him before turning to malhare and waving.

"Oh, hey, need something? The computers free I'm not using it." The digital rabbit stated, but the larger animatronic shook his head. He simply sat in front of Malhare and pointed at him, tilting his head in question. "You're... asking about me?" Bugz shook his head again, then pointed back at malhare than himself.

"Asking about me and you?"

Bugz made a frustrated noise and more gestures.

"You're... asking why I came with you guys?"

A delighted scree and nodding. Malhare shifted in his seat uncomfortably. "I...I just saw Poppet looking up stuff and got curious, so I tagged along. Don't look into it," he excused. But the twisted rabbit seemed unsatisfied, he continued to stare at Malhare, causing the bunny to get more uncomfortable until finally he broke. "Okay okay that's not the only reason! I..." he pulls on his whiskers. "I can get the whole wanting closure thing, for unknown memories. I just... wanted to help I guess" he mumbled. This finally satisfied the twisted bunny and he stood up. Malhare mumbles something nonsensical as the larger rabbit approached the door. But before he left Bugz looked back and made a chittering noise, but unlike the other times the rabbit spoke, Malhare knew exactly what this meant,

"Thank you"

"Uh. You're welcome." Malhare mumbled, slightly embarrassed, as Bugz finally left the room. Malhare sat in silence for a long minute before rolling over to the computer. "Welp! Time to drown out that horrible stuff I read with silly cat videos!" He announced before doing just that.

Luckily he didn't have any nightmares.

And thankfully the rest of the night was quiet.
