-Night 2-
Daniel looks around in wonder as he steps into a new location. This location was run down with streamers and debris everywhere. Looking around, he notices that he appeared to be in the entrance. There was a reception and check-in desk to his right, the door to the rest of the building in front of him.
"Ugh. This place."
Daniel's eyebrows shoot up in surprise. "You know this place?"
"Regrettably. Some kid and his friends decided to start dabbing into Freddy's mysteries and I had to punish them. This is a nightmare location."
One of Daniel's eyebrows lower in confusion. "Nightmare location?"
"Ugh. You ask too many questions. A nightmare location is an illusion we nightmares use to scare. Now no more questions. I ain't answering anymore."
Daniel nods, knowing that Nightmare is already being lenient. He know looks around the room he entered. Due to a haze, no doubt made by Nightmarionne, he couldn't see more than about 30 ft in front of himself.
Despite this restriction, he knew the room was large. There was the edges of what he assumes is a stage to his left and another doorway to his right. The whole room is littered with tables, chairs, party items and equipment. He also notices a sign in front of him. "Fredbear and Friends Dining"
Daniel looks around a few more times before going into the area to his right, not wanting to venture into the mist just yet.
After passing the doorway he finds himself in a long hallway. The mist once again impares his vision, and there was a vent on the ceiling around the same area where the mist starts. Glancing to his right he notices two doors. One was labeled "Maintenance" and the other "Janitor".
After looking around he decides to make his way down the hallway. He is about 7 ft from the vent when suddenly…
"Stop!"
Daniel freezes in his tracks as Nightmare suddenly yells in his mind. "What's wrong?"
"Those wires in the vent. You see them?"
Daniel glances up at the vent he was about to pass under. Interestingly enough, there were wires hanging from the vent. "Yeah, I see them. But what's the big deal?"
"Don't be daft. Wires don't just hang from vents like that, even in run down places."
Daniel's face stares blankly ahead, when he suddenly realizes the problem. "Wait. So if they aren't there 'cause of the building, then why are they there?"
"This is what I need to tell you. Avoid vents with wires. Mangle will be inside."
Daniel's eyes widen exponentially. "W-What?! What do you mean Mangle will be inside?!" When Daniel doesn't receive a response, he knows that Nightmare is done talking.
Taking what Nightmare said to heart, Daniel cautiously maneuvers around the vent opening. As he is passing by, he notices that the tip of a jaw could be seen in the vent, pointed in the direction he was passing. Daniel grimaces at what he just avoided.
After making his way past the vent, Daniel continues along the hallway. Once he reaches the end he finds a security office. The office had two sliding doors, just like his office. He notices grimly though, that the door he entered appears to be jammed. He also finds a closed vent behind the security desk. He takes a mental note to keep an eye on that.
Suddenly, a loud ringing is heard throughout the diner. Daniel jumps in surprise, but quickly locates the source. An old style phone, just like the one at his office, is ringing. Cautious at first, he decides to answer it.
"Hello?" Daniel says slowly.
"Hello. My name is Fredrick Fazbear, owner of Fredbear and Friends Family Diner. I sent this recording as help for your first night."
Daniel's eyebrows furrow as he listens to the recording. He knew this place was made by nightmares, so why did it have rules?
"So. My first tip is this. There is a tablet next to this phone that holds all of your essentials. This tablet will hold the time, camera system, and any ranged operations that can't be done physically."
Daniel looks down and does indeed find a tablet next to the phone. He picks it up and tries to turn in on, but he can't find a power button. He keeps searching, his frustration growing.
"Now an important thing about this tablet. Due to the company not wanting access to security and mechanical devices to be stolen, we made a special boot up process. Around the diner you will find special wall devices, like the one to your right."
Daniel glances over, confirming the device's existence.
"To use the tablet, you'll need to put it on top of the 'shelf'. This will power up the tablet and allow you to use all of its features."
Daniel does as was told and puts the tablet on the "shelf". The second the tablet is in place, its screen lights up and shows a camera system.
"Now the camera system should be obvious. The more complicated things are the ranged mechanical devices installed into certain cameras. The first one is the automatic repair system. This can be used if the place loses power or any wiring is damaged in the maintenance room."
Daniel switches over to the maintenance camera. He notices that room is a small rectangle, switch boxes on the right side of the room. However, the most important feature, was the large door with EXIT on the top.
Daniel's eyes widen as he sees the door. "That's the exit! That must be where I need to go!." However, the next few words of the call dampen his spirits."
"Now, if the automatic system doesn't work, you'll need to repair it. In order to do this you'll need to head to my office on the other side of the pizzeria. There, you will find the maintenance room key on my desk."
Daniel grimly remembers the mist filled room he avoided. Now it seemed that he'll have to traverse it.
"And that should do it. Oh! Before I go you should know something. Two of the animatronics have been acting strangely. There have even been reports of them roaming the place at night. If this happens, you should be fine if you stay out of sight. Alright, good luck."
The recording shuts off after that. Daniel stares at the phone a little longer. After a few short moments he grabs the tablet and turns to leave.
Right as he is about to leave though, he notices something that chills his blood. A dull, yellow light was leaking into the room, getting stronger every second. Daniel looks around frantically, trying to find somewhere to hide. He turns around and sees the desk. He looks again and sees a tarp. He knows what to do.
Ten minutes. Ten minutes he's been under this desk. Ten minutes and that light has yet to leave. Daniel peeks around the little cove he made under the desk. Turns out there was a little outcrop in the back of the desk so the desk completely blocked him from sight. The tarp is still illuminated by that ominous gold glow. He frowns, his annoyance growing with each passing minute.
After a few more minutes he checks again. It's still there! Almost crying out in frustration, his features soften when he considers a possibility. He has Nightmare's abilities, and he should be able to run away. Maybe if he… yeah. He knows what to do.
Daniel crawls forward out of his little cove slowly. He is now directly under the desk, the glowing tarp in front of him. He takes a deep breath, preparing himself for what he is about to do. His eyes narrow in determination, ready to take Jack O' Bonnie head on.
He pulls back the tarp and lunges at the glow. He kicks and punches, hoping to get the glowing nightmare down quickly.
"Kid!"
Daniel stops punching instinctively. "Um. Yes?"
"What are you doing."
Daniel raises an eyebrow "I am fighting Jack O' Bo-"
Daniel's words are caught in his mouth as he looks down. Jack O' Bonnie wasn't underneath him. It was a lamp. He attacked a lamp.
Blushing wildly in embarrassment, Daniel quickly gets up. He coughs few times as Nightmare laughs loudly in his head.
"BWA HA HA HA! Y-You attacked a lamp! A f-fucking lamp!"
Daniel's eyebrows furrow at that last part. "Language."
"Oh shut it." Despite Daniel's obvious annoying of Nightmare, he could still hear the monstrous bear laughing wildly in his head.
Shaking his head, Daniel steps over the lamp and looks down the hallway. The mist is still there, but the hallway seemed clear. He begins walking down, taking note that the wires in the vent are gone.
Right before he reaches the dining hall, Daniel sees a shelf. Deciding to do a quick check, Daniel takes the tablet and puts it on the wall device. After it powers up, Daniel looks around the diner.
He doesn't see anyone just yet, but he could see a faint yellow glow in the back most room. He decides to check that room frequently.
After doing his check, Daniel takes down the tablet and continues into the dining hall. He walks forward, watching the mist carefully for any surprises. He passes by the stage, but he doesn't look inside. He wants to get done as soon as possible so he won't be exploring.
After a few, agonizingly short moments Daniel sees a doorway. He notices another to his right, but the security cams showed that the door in front of him is the door he needs to enter. He also notices a shelf right next to the door.
Putting the tablet down, he checks once again. He switches cameras until he reaches the back room. What he sees, however chills him to the bone. Or more like, what he doesn't see.
The glow that was present previously is now gone. Panicking slightly, Daniel rapidly begins checking the cameras. Once he reaches what is dubbed the "East Hall", he finds his target. Jack O' Bonnie and Jack O' Chica are present in the location. Jack O' Chica is heading to the office, while Jack O' Bonnie is… heading straight into the dining room.
His panic rising, Daniel quickly turns around. He could see a faint glow in the mist, gradually getting larger and stronger. Knowing what will come this time, he quickly picks up the tablet and runs into the next room.
He enters another large room, but narrower. There is a dining area to his right, along with a stage. That direction also brought him to the back room.
Ignoring that direction for now, Daniel takes a left into another doorway. He heads down the hallway, running as fast as he can. He reaches the end and sees the manager office. Taking a glance back, Daniel sees the glow again. His eyes widen and he quickly opens the door, heading inside.
And closes the door behind, breathing out a sigh of relief. He moves forward and reaches the desk. He sees the key and is about to grab it, when he hears a horrific noise.
*Clank* *Clank*
He heard that noise too many times to know what is coming. He looks around, and decides to hide in the large cabinet on the left wall. He opens the cabinet doors and gets inside, right as the manager office door slams open.
Daniel watches kneels down, knowing that looking would only serve to get him caught. He instead watches the intensity of the bright glow in the office. He can see it getting duller and brighter, signifying that Jack O' Bonnie is moving around the room.
He almost got caught once when the glow seemed to intensify immensely. Thinking that a Jack O' Bonnie was right outside the door, he stilled completely. This saved his life as a few seconds later he hear…
"Hm. I-I thought I-I saw s-someone moving i-in there. G-Guess not."
He stays motionless as Jack O' Bonnie moves out the room, his metallic feet making soft clanks as he walks. Daniel waits a few more minutes before moving again. Satisfied that Jack O' Bonnie was truly gone, Daniel slowly gets out of the cabinet.
Daniel cautiously moves around, careful not to make any noise. Deciding that he wasted enough time, he quickly grabs the key and blends into the shadows. He makes it into the dining hall when he sees his next challenge. A previously closed vent over the entrance to the hall was now open. What's worse is that he could see wires hanging out, and even Mangle's deformed snout. This meant that Nightmare Mangle could see anyone trying to sneak around her. He curses lightly under his breath, ignoring Nightmare's "language." He needs another way around
Daniel looks around, wondering how he would get to the maintenance room now. That was when he remembers that the office had a second door, leading to a hallway. Now if that hallway connected to the dining hall, then he could get back.
Goal in mind, Daniel quickly back tracks to the other door he saw. He looks inside and is happy to see a short hallway, a corner turn going right. He quickly moves down the hall and turns the corner, the office at the end. Deciding to forget stealth in favor of speed, Daniel shoots off.
Using his enhanced speed, he quickly reaches the maintenance door without anymore trouble. Quickly pulling out the key, he puts it in the lock and turns. Right as he opens the door though, a loud "T-T-There he i-i-is!"
Daniel jumps in surprise and looks behind him. He could make out the silhouette of the Jack O's in the mist. His eyes widen when he sees the moving rapidly towards him. Deciding not to gawk, Daniel quickly opens the door and goes inside.
He slams the door behind him, locking it in the process. He steps back in relief, and slumps against the wall. He slides his hand down his face, his eyes showing his exhaustion. "I didn't expect this to be so tiring."
Suddenly, a loud bang is heard in the room. Daniel jumps as the maintenance door begins to shake, something banging it from outside. Knowing that his time is running out, Daniel quickly makes his way to the exit door. He takes one glance behind, not knowing why. He then turns back and enters through the door, ending the night. For now.
