Summer, July 5th 2035, Thursday – Fredbear Lux Hotel - 1F

2:10 PM

-WARNING: Some heavy and suggestive themes during the serious conversation towards the end of the chapter.-

Roxanne and Chica made it to a large lavish hotel complex, the buildings exterior modeled after a castle, but the inside completely modernized and expansive. The building held 40 floors. It was one of Fazbear Entertainment's first hotels they have opened shortly before the PizzaPlex was built in Hurricane. While most Fazbear facilities were geared towards children and families, the Fredbear Lux was dedicated to their slightly older clientele seeking the night life and entertainment.

This location mostly catered to college kids, young wealthy businessmen, traveling celebrities, couples seeking getaways and honeymoons.

Roxanne knew some animatronics that formally worked under Fazbear and recently left but were still around. Since Freddy became CEO, he no longer would de-commission a robot just because it didn't serve a purpose for Fazbear anymore. Robots formally retiring from the company were now offered up a chance to go work elsewhere much like humans switching jobs. A country wide job board existed for sentient robots leaving their companies. Of course their owner had to grant them permission to leave first, and that could vary if they could even do that based on their companies policies, then they could apply on the job board for offers from rival tech, robotic, or entertainment companies.

Recently a new rival company, Silver Parasol Robotics, a new subsidiary of Silver Parasol Games, spun up taking in former Fazbear animatronics to work for them…providing services for some clients in a business sector that Fazbear would not touch with a 10 foot pole, no matter how lucrative it has become in 2035.

Freddy and the Glamrocks were disappointed to see some of their favorite fellow robots getting into the business that they decided to get involved in after leaving them, but they could understand why it was an appeal to those individuals. Most of those animatronics had grown tired of the "kid-friendly" environments they started their life as robots at.

Aside from the human staff, Fazbear had their own animatronics at the Fredbear Hotel just like any other Fazbear location. The ones stationed at the hotel consisted of bartenders, singers for the nightly entertainment at the in house bar, waiters and waitresses for the restaurant named after Helpy, Helpy's Wings. Dealers for the casino, arcade, housekeeping, and for those that did bring children, daycare and babysitting services. It was one of the few Fazbear locations that had animatronics in more dedicated roles then just entertainment. If you were a robotics nerd, and were a fan of anthropomorphic characters come to life, this was the 2nd place to be at next to the PizzaPlex.

Occasionally some high rollers, both men and women, would walk in with animatronics from Silver Parasol as their "plus one". It gets many awkward looks by both the humans and animatronics at the hotel but in 2035 given some services involving other humans are still illegal, the rent a sentient robotic companion for a night market has taken off for those into that sort of thing…

Roxanne and Chica didn't agree with taking it that far in terms of robot-human relations, but the law allowed it, and if it made both consenting parties happy then oh well was their thought on the subject. Fazbear didn't care if their rivals ended up being brought in by clients, as long as they didn't harass Fazbear animatronics, staff or Fazbear customers trying to enjoy their stay, the company allowed them to come in as if they were any other guest.

Fazbear in a show of good will would even still offer Parts or Services assistance for emergency repairs to their guest animatronics that no longer worked for them. That said however, many technicians did not like working on the Silver Parasol animatronics that would show up as guests with their client for the night, mostly because they didn't see them for emergency repairs but instead would come asking if they could get some body "upgrades" because their client thought it was a good idea.

Fazbear techs would not hesitate to send them back to their own Silver Parasol techs for some of the "upgrades" they wanted. It wasn't a business Fazbear wanted a part of.

"We've made it pup-cup." Roxanne said pulling her car into the parking lot. She put the manual shifter in neutral, put the parking brake and shut off the car.

"This is a hotel? Wow this place is huge Roxy. It's almost the size of the PizzaPlex." Gregory said in awe.

"It's also our hotel, Fazbear Entertainment owns and operates it. Anddd, we don't have to pay a dime." Roxanne said proudly.

"Sound like we're about to be treated like royalty. Haha." Gregory said laughing.

"Oh we absolutely are, racingstar. We are the best." Roxanne said.

"It's got plenty to do inside Gregory. But we are mostly just staying here, we're going to be checking out the city." Chica said getting out of the car. Roxanne popped the trunk and then went behind the car with Chica to unload, while Gregory got out of the car.

They grabbed their bags and started walking to the large entrance.

They made their way into the expansive carpeted lobby. The ladies calmly walked up to the reception desk in the lobby. There was a young man, fresh out of college, working the desk, who reminded the ladies of Sun in terms of mannerisms. Roxanne set her Fazbear Silver ID down on the table getting the mans attention.

"Hello welcome to the Frebear Lux…and oh my! Ms. Wolf! Ms. Chicken! What a pleasure to have you both here today!" The man said immediately recognizing the glamrock animatronics.

"Hey don't forget about me!" Gregory spoke up behind them getting the mans attention.

"Oh Mr. Afton! Yes, we will make sure you three only have the best! Now let's take a look at the room you booked online." The man said.

"Thank you…Tom." Roxanne said reading his name tag.

"It's a pleasure, I can't believe the Roxanne Wolf and Glamrock Chica from the PizzaPlex have come to our location, big fan of course. This is my first day here? Am I doing okay? I wouldn't want to disappoint the big bear at the top." Tom said.

Roxanne laughed.

"Kid, your doing fine for your first day. And call me Rox. No need for the Ms. Wolf greetings." Roxanne said.

A fit looking male rooster animatronic wearing a business suit came out from the back.

"Tom what are you on about out there…" He said until he noticed the girls.

"Chi chi!" The rooster said walking up to Chica.

"Jerry!" Chica walked up to him hugging him.

Roxanne and Gregory looked at each other and then back at Chica before asking "Jerry?"

"Oh! Sorry guys, this is Jerry Rooster, he worked at the Fredbear's Chicken Hut in San Francisco, when we were guest performers there. Remember Rox?" Chica asked.

"Oh right! You were the one who threw a full deluxe pizza at that kid who kept complaining about you not serving all you can eat pancakes during dinner. I remember while we were guests on your stage doing a show, Freddy and Monty had to jump off stage mid song to hold you back from tossing the kid threw a window." Roxanne said chuckling.

"Yeah…we don't talk about that night." Jerry said while Chica laughed.

"You almost tossed a kid threw a window? And didn't get decommissioned?" Tom said to his animatronic supervisor.

"Look man, I tried to be nice to that fat kid, but there's only so much my processor could take that night after he tossed his chocolate shake at me, spit in my face, and worst of all poured FazSyrup on my head. Do you know how long it takes to clean that shit off of your synthetic hair feathers? Days. It also left a stain on my shell. I sent an email to corporate's food division that night asking what they put in that shit. I swear it could double as glue." Jerry said with an annoyed look.

"Annnd that is why he doesn't work with kids anymore and he was transferred to the hotel a year ago." Chica said.

"How the heck did you still end up working for Fazbear after that?" Gregory piped up.

"Because kid I was good at customer service when it came to adults. Regarded as one of the best. Former CEO Jason Tyler at the time was able to convince the board to not scrap me back then, paid the family for any inconveniences under the condition that I only would be allowed to work at their non-child oriented facilities. So Jason found the hotel as the perfect place for me. Freddy hasn't bothered to try scrapping me since he took over as CEO, since he wanted to give me a fair chance and well here I am. So far, so good. Although I do admit, I feel bad for what happened looking back on it now." Jerry said.

"I see…." Gregory said with skepticism.

"Anyway. What brings you three here? Vacation getaway?" Jerry asked.

"Well yes, but we also wanted to spend more time with our favorite kid here, Gregory." Roxanne said playfully ruffling Gregory's hair.

"We wanted to show him around Salt Lake City. He never got to see much since he used to be homeless." Chica said.

Jerry now sort of felt bad for Gregory. Although he couldn't stand serving some of the more difficult kids, and one really pushed his buttons at his old restaurant location, that never meant he hated them for just being a kid. He admits he made a mistake that night and let his emotions get the best of him, he didn't want to repeat it ever again.

Jerry kneeled to Gregory's level.

"Gregory, I remember now. I heard your story about what happened at the PizzaPlex champ. You were really brave. It takes guts to make it through what you went through. If you need anything while you're here, just ask, I'll take care of it okay?" Jerry asked softly offering a hand to Gregory.

"Um, sure, thank you." Gregory said accepting his hand shake.

Jerry got back up and turned to his worker.

"Tom, take their existing room booking and upgrade these 3 the FazBear Superstar Deluxe suite on the 40th floor. For starters, we do have the Roxanne Wolf and Glamrock Chica as guests, and we technically work for them, two this kid deserves the superstar treatment during his stay." Jerry said.

Tom already started typing up the booking on his computer.

"Right on it. Okay Roxy, you gave me your Fazbear Silver Membership ID already, it sees you're a Fazbear employee, and done. 40th floor, Room 4002." Tom said handing her Fazbear ID card back to her, she puts in back in her purse. He also handed her two keycards for the room.

"Thank you Tom. You did great." Roxanne said with a smile she then turned to Jerry.

"Thank you Jerry old buddy!" Roxanne said hugging Jerry.

"Not a problem for my two favorite Glamrocks and their uh…little brother." Jerry said with a smile.

"Thanks again!" Chica said picking up the bags again.

"And Gregory nice meeting you. If any of you need anything, dial my extension from your room, extension 209. I'm usually here 24/7, with my own suite on this floor. If not, Tom can step in too. Got it?" Jerry said.

"Got it." The two robot ladies and Gregory said.

The 3 were about to step on the elevator until a young well dressed attractive man and another wolf animatronic stepped out. She had darker greys then Roxanne for the color of her shell, wearing a low cut form fitting black dress and heels. Her hair was a black color but just as long as Roxanne's. Same with her tail.

Roxanne recognized her immediately.

"Tina?" Roxanne asked.

Both groups stopped in each others tracks. While Roxanne and her group were headed in, Tina and her male companion where leaving the hotel about to check out.

"Roxy poo?" Tina said walking up to her old friend while her partner stood silent.

Tina hugged Roxanne while Roxanne was kind of surprised to see her here. Nonetheless Roxanne returned the hug. She met Tina at a Fazbear bar in New York during a tour with the band.

"What..what are you doing here? I thought you were still working at our bar in New York? Did you leave us?" Roxanne asked.

"Unfortunately yes, there was a once in a lifetime opportunity I couldn't pass up and I was kind of getting tired of working that bar location…but you guys are always in my heart. And well…" Tina said gesturing at her male companion who turned to the side and tried to hide a grin.

Roxanne also looked at Tina's appearance again and right away knew. She sighed.

"Your working for Silver Parasol now aren't you?" Roxanne asked.

"Yeah…I couldn't pass it up. And I met some really cool people there…like this stud." Tina said to her human partner.

"Tina honey c'mon now, your not that kind of wolf. Do you really want this kind of life for as long as your systems are online? I mean...to be used as a play thing for all kinds of freaks out there?" Roxanne said with a serious tone. Chica could see what's happening, and she didn't want Gregory to have to hear this conversation.

"Rox give me one of the keycards, Gregory and I will take this stuff upstairs. Right Gregory?" Chica said dropping him the hint.

"Um, yeah…" Gregory said with his head down.

"One sec." Roxanne said handing Chica the card and signaling she would be up there with them soon.

"C'mon hatchling, let's go." Chica said carrying whatever bags she could, while Gregory handed the rest. They took the elevator to the 40th floor while Tina and Roxanne continued their conversation.

"You know what Roxanne. Yeah. Yeah I do want those freaks out there to use me. In every way they want. As long as their paying me, and giving me free upgrades to make it possible, why should I judge? I got tired of just serving drinks to guests. Even if that's what I was originally built for. I know some of the guests looked at me a certain way, and I won't deny it, I got curious about what it could be like..." Tina said.

"If you slept with a human? Right?" Roxanne finished.

"Yeah...and after my first night...after my first upgrade for that function...I liked it." Tina asked.

"Tina, I don't know what happened to you after you left us, but this doesn't seem like your kind of thing. Are you sure you want this?" Roxanne asked.

"Yes. Because at least I get some attention like you get from all your fans. I...always envied you Rox. That beautiful wolf everyone wants. I've seen how some of the human men, even animatronic men, look at you and Chica. You get everyone's attention with no effort, meanwhile, I was just the bar maid wolf that knew how to smile and converse when serving food or drinks to patrons, otherwise not much attention, unless it was to touch me or call me names. Unlike my so called fans, your fans will bend over backwards for you but still treat you like a queen with the respect you deserve, I never got that. The human guys I've met doing this, have been so kind and sweet to me. Like someone actually appreciates me and respects me." Tina said

Her client still waiting, just walked over to a nearby lobby seat and played on his smartphone for now.

"Tina, Chica and I went through that too with some rather crude guests, and it sucks, like really fucking sucks. Men, be it human, or animatronic, can really fucking suck sometimes. I should know since what had happened to me once during dance night at the PizzaPlex, when we had a drunk guest that wouldn't leave...But what you dealt with, no one should have to deal with, but it also shouldn't be the reason you chose to go in this line of work no animatronic should be in. I don't care if it's legal, it's just a scummy industry. You're a good person Tina, one of the sweetest wolf models we had built. You don't want to be affiliated with a company like Silver Parasol. They have a shady history. I don't trust them, and Freddy doesn't trust them. And if that sweet bear doesn't trust them, that should tell you something." Roxanne said.

"Like Fazbear didn't have it's own fair share of skeletons in the closet. Don't act like your company didn't do some shady shit in the past." Tina said harshly.

"I never said my company was always an angel ether, we have our own skeletons left over from the past, but Freddy has really turned things around since he took over from Jason as CEO. Believe me, we're not the Fazbear we used to be these days. But I will say, I know Silver Parasol is into some shady things because they used to work on some shady projects with us, while Jason was running the company. I wasn't built yet at the time, none of us Glamrock models were yet, but I know they helped play a central role in what happened at the PizzaPlex a few months ago, an incident 5 years in the making before our time. I'm lucky my friends and I are still here to tell people about it. And that young boy you saw, is the reason I'm still here. I owe him everything. You can still change your mind Tina, come back to Fazbear, you don't need to go around screwing people with your fake you know what you had installed by Silver Parasol...to feel like someone cares about you." Roxanne said.

"Says the wolf girl who can't get enough attention from the guys and almost made an OnlyFans account a few months ago. Also, there's that rumor you were putting your pictures in all of the security offices around the PizzaPlex..." Tina said dryly.

"I..." Roxanne said.

"Your just mad because they know how to do business in the animatronic industry these days, and you guys can't keep up. Besides, it's 2035 Rox. Time's are changing, people don't just want life like animatronics at their kid's birthday parties anymore. They want something more then that. What about the recently divorced dad, that takes his kids to see Freddy and the gang, he's probably lonely and could use someone to keep him company. Why not spend time with the lady bot that just made his kid's night and can make his night too? Especally if he hasn't had any action in awhile since his divorce. If i'm not mistaken Fazbear had an VIP area in the PizzaPlex, that is still there. You can't tell me the company wasn't thinking what I was just thinking right?" Tina said raising an eyebrow.

"That's a leftover from the Jason Tyler days of leadership, and he told us it was just for the parents, older siblings and college kids to get together and relax while their children or little brothers and sisters enjoyed their time with us." Roxanne said.

"Or so you thought. There was a document that leaked a year ago that showed there was plans for Jason to give you all some extra upgrades for a special attraction at the PizzaPlex. And I'm not talking about the realistic silicone shells with realistic curves and physiques we all now have these days. I'm talking about some parts that we're a little more um, physically functional in nature down under, if you know what I'm saying. Technology has come a long way..." Tina said.

"Jason was a pig and piece of shit that only wanted to use us as giant toys, so it's not a shock to me that was something he was planning. He's gone now, time's are different. Also..the only fans thing...that was a side effect of the glitch I was dealing with when I was infected with a virus during the PizzaPlex incident. I..had some confidence issues in my head at the time...I don't want to talk about it...but this isn't about me. It's about making you realize, you don't know what your getting into. Please Tina, stay away from that company...Come back to us, will help you find something you truly enjoy doing, and you'll be loved and cared for. I promise." Roxanne said extending a hand.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to go back. Roxanne, this is who I am now. And really, I am happier doing this. I just wanted to make people happy, because that makes me happy. So..it's a win. Besides what's so bad about OnlyFans or getting an artifical you know what installed? It's all just harmless fun right?" Tina said forcing a smile.

"Look for starters I'm not against my fellow robo ladies that do work like OnlyFans, or the animatronic escort scene...I'm just personally not into it. Second, I don't trust Silver Parasol, especially with some of the history I know they have. Think about my shitty former CEO and the PizzaPlex incident. You know what I went through. You know what the whole band went through. Just, think about it. We know Silver Parasol played a role in it, but legally there is nothing we can do about it for the moment. There's other ways to enjoy your life as an animatronic. Think about coming back to us, we can find something else you like doing. I love you Tina, and I don't want to see you taken advantage of, let us help." Roxanne pleaded.

"I don't need your help and I don't need that bear's help. I like the money and fame I'm getting online. I get the same attention you always got on stage with the band. And now I have fame I never had as just a pretty wolf bartender...Look I gotta go, but if you wanna keep talking, here. Have fun with that human child or whatever you call a brother…" Tina said handing Roxanne a business card.

She then turned around and walked away, her client getting up to join her.

"Tina…why?" Roxanne said as her ears went down in sadness.

Jerry Rooster and Tom at the desk witnessed the whole scene and came walking up to her after.

"Hey Roxanne, everything okay girl?" Jerry asked with concern.

"I'm fine. But I don't think she is." Roxanne said watching her former friend walk out the door with her client.
