Chapter 2: night one
12:00 am
We were set up in the monitor room, drinking the various beverages that I had gotten to stay awake during the night. I had asked Mike what he thought about this place. He was just about to answer when the phone rang loudly, making us both jump. It was the previous security guard we saw walk out of the store at 11:00.
Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?
Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grownups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced."-Blah blah blah,- now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay.
So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?
1987. I remembered.
Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh.
At this point me and Mike were both looking at each other in shock. Dumb shock.
Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good, have a good night.
"WAIT WHAT THE FUCK THOSE...THINGS OUT THERE ARE GOING TO KILL US AND- Mike was cut short by a demonic sounding laugh coming from the stage area. Mike had a look on his face that looked like a baby that had just seen someone make a scary face playing peek-a-boo. He rushed to the doors and clicked them on, shutting them. "Wait, Mike hang on! Did you hear the manager? We need to conserve power!" I said. "SCREW THE GODDAMN POWER! I'M NOT DYING TONIGHT!" "Mike, calm down! Just 5 more hours. Think about it!" Those words calmed Mike down and he sat down heavily in his chair.
After a minute or so of camera watching, I noticed that Chica was gone from her spot on the stage."Uhhh...Mike?" Mike saw it too. There was only a brief moment of panic between me and Make until I finally found Chica. She was in the kitchen, giving a stare that seemed to reach for my soul. I kept a close eye on her for a few moments before my camera went black.
I put my tablet down. It wasn't dead, but it had gone blank. Mike was still on his, so he must've not been paying attention to Chica. I pressed the LIGHT button to check the left hall. Chica was in the hall. She had her neck in a broken position, and she made a noise. It sounded like someone moaning, so I was guessing her voice box was broken. I kept close watch on the camera until she decided to go into the kitchen. I breathed a heavy sigh of relief and went back to my camera.
4:00 am
We had gotten bored from our job since the animatronics had not moved from their spots in a while. We had started playing pretend games and watching ESPN on the tiny T.V in the office. Soon we decided to see what the animatronics were doing
