Chapter 2: Just when thinking the restaurant was innocent...
Jeremy hesitantly approached the restaurant. He needed explaining and he definitely needed it now, there were just so many questions he wanted to ask his boss. What was first a regular night job turned out to be a survival job all proved on the first night. So, now he not only had to get through the nights and make enough money, he also had to survive too? Heck no, he'd need to know what's going on to even continue with his job. He entered the already familiar restaurant and uneasily headed towards his boss's office. Oddly, he felt uncomfortable in the place, but it was the middle of the afternoon and the animatronics were completely harmless. But then he thought, Is the animatronics really all 'harmless'? He shook his head, snapping himself out of his thoughts and continued to make his way towards his boss's office. However, halfway through, he was stopped by a security guard. Poor guy forgot to wear his uniform, but if it wasn't concerning that, then the boss probably forgot to mention who worked the night shift. The guard was...Strangely purple. His uniform, his skin, all purple. What made it even stranger was his lifeless looking eyes, which seemed to scare Jeremy a little. "Hello. I believe we've met already." The purple guard said, holding out his hand to the other with a grin on his face. Jeremy stood motionless and still, confused about what the guard meant until he remembered the unusual call from yesterday. "You." Was all Jeremy could say, he was more surprised to see him right here than when he got that call. Jeremy's reaction just made the guard's grin grow wider. "Surprised? I don't blame you, I did call unexpectedly after all.~" The man said, adding, "I knew we'd meet eventually anyway, Jeremy." Looks like I WAS actually mentioned. That's a relief...Kinda.Jeremy thought as he hesitantly shook the Purple Man's hand. He felt bad for hanging up on a daytime guard that...He never was told about. He did realize that the man wasn't the only daytime guard too. "H-hey...Um...S-sorry about...Well, y-you know..." Jeremy said shyly, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "It's fine. Now Jeremy..." The man replied, walking away and gesturing for Jeremy to follow. "Follow me." Jeremy looked at the man and then at his boss' s office. Didn't he have to ask his boss about the behavior of the animatronics? But, then what about this strange guard? Where'd he want to take him? Jeremy, stuck between decisions, thought it over a bit until he decided to follow the guard. Only for awhile, but after that, I'll go speak to my boss.
The man just kept on walking and walking, stopping to look at the animatronics, then continued to walk, until him and Jeremy were at the parts/service area, which seemed to restrict employees from entering. The man, however, seemed to care less of this as he took out a key and unlocked the door, pushing it open without hesitation. "Stole this key from boss' s office while he wasn't looking." He said, shoving the key back in his pocket. "Don't tell him though." Jeremy took a look around the room, nearly gasping when he spotted some old animatronics in the back. "W-what is this p-place?" The nervous male asked. "An area where they keep no longer used animatronics as spare parts." The Purple Man stated. "W-whoa..." Jeremy said, walking over to a fox animatronic, which was laying on the floor, it's eyes having a faint yellow glow as if it was still on. "I-I know this one!" The man shrugged and shook his head at the fox animatronic. "That's Foxy. He's been disabled for quite some time now, or so it seems like he is.." He said, chuckling. Jeremy took a step back when he thought that Foxy was staring at him. "W-wait- d-do you know about-"
"The animatronics behavior? Yes, I do."
"W-why do they act l-like that..?"
"They can roam during the day, but at night, they can also roam too. Not only that, but you'll have to keep an eye on these guys too." The Purple Man pointed at the old animatronics.
"B-but why?"
"You'll eventually see why..."
Jeremy trembled slightly. "I-if I decide to f-further keep this j-job.."
"Yeah. But, I advise that you keep it a while longer."
"W-why?"
"You'll make discoveries, discoveries that'll keep you wanting to find out more."
"W-wha-"
"Trust me, you're going to want to." The Purple Man walked out of the room with Jeremy following behind. "Besides, you're the first night guard in a long time and you shouldn't back down on special opportunities, especially this one."
Then with a swift movement, the Purple Man silently disappeared, or it seemed like it. Jeremy had noticed something unusual about this 'Purple Man', something he hadn't noticed until now. The man looked transparent...Well, almost. Jeremy shrugged it off as his own imagination acting up and passed by the animatronics, hyper kids, and his boss' s office. He didn't need no more questions answered by anyone else for now; instead he wanted to answer questions on his own. He was going to discover secrets of this odd restaurant, even if it might kill him.
