Chapter 2: Night 1

I was in a elevator and someone was talking to me.

"Welcome to the first day of your exciting new career! Whether you were approached at a job fair, read our ad in Screws, bolts, and hairpins, or if this is the result of a dare, we welcome you. I will be your personal guide to help you get started. I'm a model 5 of the Handyman's Robotics and Unit Repair System. But, you can call me "Hand-Unit". Your new career promises challenge, intrigue, and endless janitorial opportunities. Please enter your name as seen above the keypad. This cannot be changed later, so, please be careful." said the voice. I tried to type my 1st name.

"This is hard." I said.

"It seems that you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type, and I will autocorrect it for you. One moment. Welcome Eggs Benedict!" said the Head-Unit.

"What happened?" I asked. "That is not my name."

"You can now open the elevator using that bright, red, and obvious button. Let's get to work!" said the Head-Unit.

"Whatever. I want to be done now." I said. I push the red button and went out of the elevator.

"Allow me to fill this somewhat frightening silence with some lighthearted banter. Due to the massive success, and, even more so, the unfortunate closing of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, it was clear that the stage was set for another contender in children's entertainment. Unlike most entertainment venues, our robotic entertainers are rented out for private parties during the day, and it's your job to get the robots back in proper working order before the following morning." said the Head-Unit.

"My dad used to work there and he died doing that job." I said.

"You are now in the primary Control Module; it's actually a crawlspace between the two front showrooms. Now, let's get started with your daily tasks. View the window to your left. This is the Ballora Gallery: Party Room and Dance Studio, encouraging kids to get fit and enjoy pizza! Let's turn on the light and see if Ballora is onstage. Press the blue button on the elevated keypad to your left." said the Head-Unit.

"Ballora?" I asked. "Who is that?" I push the blue button. She was not there.

"Uh oh! It looks like Ballora doesn't feel like dancing. Let's give her some motivation. Press the red button now to administer a controlled shock. Maybe that will put the spring back in her step." said the Head-Unit.

"Shock her? I don't think so. But, I have to." I said. I push the red button.

"Let's check the light again" said the Head-Unit. I push the blue button. She was there.

"OK. She is there." I said.

"Excellent. Ballora's feeling like her old self again and will be ready to perform again tomorrow. Now, view the window to your right. This is the funtime auditorium where Funtime Foxy encourages kids to play and share. Try the light! Let's see what Funtime Foxy is up to." said the Head-Unit.

"I have to hurt this one too?" I asked. I push the blue button. He was not there. "I do have to hurt him too."

"Looks like Funtime Foxy is taking the day off. Let's motivate Funtime Foxy with a controlled shock" said the Head-Unit. I push the red button and I push the blue button. He was not there.

"Come on!" I said.

"Let's try another controlled shock" said the Head-Unit.

"Really? What did they do?" I asked. I push the red button and the blue button. He was there. "Good, he is there."

"Looks like Funtime Foxy is in perfect working order. Great job! In front of you is another vent shaft. Crawl through it to reach the Circus Gallery Control Module" said the Head-Unit. I saw the vent and I went through. I was in a room.

"Wow! This is big." I said.

"On the other side of the glass is Circus Baby's auditorium. Let's check the light and see what Baby is up to." said the Head-Unit.

"Oh-boy." I said. I push the blue button and she was not there. Also, there are a few lost lights.

"Looks like a few of lights are out, but we can fix that later. Let's encourage Baby to cheer up with a controlled shock." said the Head-Unit.

"Right." I said. I push the red button and push the blue button. She was not there.

"Let's try another controlled shock." said the Head-Unit.

"What! More controlled shocks?" I asked. I push the red button and the blue button. She was not there. "Are you kidding me!?"

"Great job, Circus Baby. We knew we could count on you! That concludes your duties for your first night on the job. We don't want you to leave overwhelmed; otherwise, you might not come back. Please leave using the vent behind you, and we'll see you again tomorrow." said the Head-Unit.

"Right. See you." I said. I crawl back out. I heard something. I went faster. I went in the elevator. I went up and went back home.
