1. The Interview

POV:*?!*

I walked through the rain through the city, it was still around afternoon as I walked to my destination.

The year was...wait what's the year again? Ehh, it doesn't matter, not like myself to keep track anyway, sometime after Covid that's for sure.

My stomach growled from my last meal, or lack thereof. Money was low since I got fired from my last job. But, it's not my fault that I suck at customer service. Giving a shit about most strangers just wasn't my appeal, not that it paid well anyway.

But I didn't let this get me down, I just kept on trucking... through my savings to the point that I had to sacrifice a meal or two to keep my place. I mean, I could always just move back in with my parents if push came to shove or ask one of my pals to be roommates again, but for some reason I felt like being self-sufficient.

8?'s:You say that yet wasn't it because of &%# that you even found this job?

OH YEAH! SELF-SUFFICIENCY!

8?'s:Whatever you say.

I quit talking to the voice in my head as my destination finally shows itself, a large lone building with a packed parking lot and glowing neon lights displaying the establishment's name.

Freddi's Anime Diner. Food, Games, Anime and Fun.

I take a deep breath looking at the sign, the memories of this franchise slowly coming back. Nostalgia of good and bad times fills me with dread about doing this again. But I aint no coward, so time to suck up my dumb trauma and push forwards to destiny, and the double doors leading inside.

Once inside so many sights, sounds, and smells hit me. Flashing lights from the main stage, the sound of anime-like music blaring from the speakers, the smell of soda and pizza fill my nostrils. This is the main dining room, where patrons eat their food and watch the performers... perform.

But I wasn't here to describe the environment in great detail so that I could imagine what is right in front of me. I'll do that tonight once I properly start. By all accounts I've been hired as all the paperwork was done online, personal information, available hours, criminal record, and previous work history, the last two being considerably lacking in any data, which greatly disappoints me. I was sure I would have more felonies and work experience by now.

Anyways, I just need to finish an in-person interview with a manager and get my uniform then I can return here tonight. After all the paperwork I thought there wouldn't be much more to know about myself, but when leaving a complete stranger to guard all your profits, food, arcades and cleaning supplies, I suppose you couldn't be too careful.

8?'s:...And?

Oh, and the hot animetronics as well I suppose.

Finally, I see someone in an employee uniform, carrying some tools and a speaker that was probably broken or just got fixed. She was your height wearing the employee shirt and some pants, had long hair with purple streaks, and seemed to be pretty well endowed, though nowhere near what the performers had, not that it mattered to me she was still smoking in her own way.

*!?*:Excuse me.

She turned to me giving me that tired I'm doing shit right now leave me the fuck alone look. Honestly, same sister.

*!?*:My name is Jake and I'm supposed to meet with the manager about the nightguard interview.

Her face immediately relaxed once I finished. Guess she thought I was another guest that was gonna try and hit on her...I mean I might later but I barely know her.

1011:Oh, yeah I can show y-

6?'s:Hello there hot stuff~

Out of nowhere one of the animetronics had stepped off the stage, their performance apparently finished and she decided that I was her target of seduction despite my conversation with the still unnamed employee, as it had yet to be said aloud.

Jake:Hi?

6?'s:I couldn't help but notice your long face and wanted to know if I could do anything to fix that?~

Ah my resting bitch face, you cause me issues once again. Actually does this count as an issue? It's a bit inconvenient right now but ultimately…

Jake:That's nice of you, but I assure you I'm fine. Also I'm having a conversation with your coworker here, so…

1011:Yeah, Bonnie I need to take him to Mary.

The animetronic named Bonnie took a look at the still unnamed worker and looked confused for half a second, as if she didn't recognize her. But in the matter of milliseconds recovered and went back to her standard expression.

Bonnie:Okay sugar I'll let you get back to it~,(turns to me) and you come to me if you ever need some cheering up~

Sugar eh? They don't discriminate

Bonnie then proceeds to walk off back to the bustling dining room giving us a wink and adding an obvious sway to her admittedly thic hips.

1011:Well... I guess I'll show you the way then.

I proceed to follow her through the crowd in the dining room, the previous smell of pizza and soda more powerful than before, making my lack of a recent meal start to hurt more. As we cut through the crowd I saw glimpses of the other animetronics, the purple rabbit Bonnie, a yellow humanoid, a brown bear, and red fox with pirate gear. A pirate? Really? Personally I think something like a clown would work better as a side attraction.

Clown, clown, clown…

8?'s:Hey, focus on the present!

As the body lacking voice tells me this I bump into the employee I was following, whose abrupt halt went unnoticed by me. We didn't fall but we kind of face-planted each other's face, resulting in what many fanfics would call a first kiss. Except we didn't kiss at all, we just bumped into each other and it kind of hurt.

Jake:Sorry, got lost in thought. You alright?

1011:Yeah I'm good, Mary's office is right here. Good luck Jake.

Jake:Thanks again... what was your name?

1011:My…name is... Lily.

Jake:Well, I look forward to working with you Lily.

Lily:Sure, have a good one.

And with that she just walked off, disappearing behind the crowd likely to continue working on the speaker she left behind.

That felt... off? Was it because of Bonnie or my trip that she seemed hesitant to talk? I mean I'm not one for interaction either, especially with a stranger but…

Pushing those thoughts away I open the door to the manager's office. Greeted with a typical office sight, a computer, papers, filing cabinets. The only stand-out feature being the posters of the animetronic, each displaying them in somewhat flirtatious poses with their names on the bottom of each poster.

However it would be odd to find out their names and faces before even meeting them properly, hell just learning Bonnie's name a chapter or two early is already breaking the rules.

A woman is sitting at the desk wearing a dark blue uniform with the tag security on it and a matching hat. The woman herself had long brunette hair and a somewhat tired stern expression on her face that held even when looking up at you. You assume this is Mary.

(presumably Mary):Hello, how can I help you sir?

Jake:I am here for the night shift job, I did all the paperwork?

She then suddenly slams her hands on the desk and stands up abruptly and turns around to look in the filing cabinet.

(might be Mary):FINALLY, I needed someone to cover for me, I can't do more late nights.

She then pulls out a sheet of paper and grabs a pen getting ready to write.

(could be Mary):Alright Jake I just need a few questions to see if you can do a good Job.

Jake:Okay

(may be Mary):Question One, do you have any experience in self-defense outside of job experiences?

Jake:I am capable of self-defense, yes.

(most likely Mary):Good, Question Two, Are you willing to do additional work at night along with your guard duties, these will be compensated.

Jake:Yes

(better be Mary I swear):Okay, Question Three, what is your sexuality and preferred pronouns?

Jake:Excuse me, why?

(Possibly Mary):Reasons that have to do with the nature of our business. We inform all our workers and performers of such things.

Basically you want to know if I want to fuck them.

Jake:He/Him and I'm straight, nothing special.

(goddamnit just say if you are Mary or not!):Okay that's everything. Welcome to the team Jake, my name is Mary and I'll be your boss.

You both stand up and shake hands.

Jake:It's great to be on a team again, Mary.

(confirmed to be Mary):The only thing I need to do is get your uniform and have you sign this.

She slides a paper and pen forward.

Mary:Make sure you read the paper fully before signing.

She then backs off to grab a uniform from behind you, you notice most of the uniforms are female, so it'll probably take her a minute, so in the meantime you read the paper before you.

As an employee of Fazbear Entertainment you are expected to follow all rules and regulations that any other employee or guest would and to treat all coworkers with respect. In your position you will be compensated with a 9$/hour paycheck working mostly late night hours. But you will also get certain benefits such as free arcade tokens, discounted food and drinks, and uncharged access to all shows and "special features", as long as consent is given from the performer you wish to engage, and any mess is cleaned up. It is also to be noted that you are not allowed to disclose any confidential features of this franchise such as future releases of arcade games, soon to be open locations, upcoming performer models, and any incidents that may occur during your shift or any visit. Fazbear entertainment is not responsible for injury, trauma, sexual harassment, but will cover any hospital or asylum fees if injuries are to occur while on the job or on property.

Asylum? Harassment? All good signs for sure. Whatever worse case scenario I have my ways out, I've been through worse. And without hesitation sign the paper. After Mary takes the paper and hands you a male guard uniform completed with a hat and badge with your name.

Mary:Alright with that out of the way here is your uniform, come back at around 11pm for a proper tour with another one of our employees, and please leave I need to get out of this fucking uniform.

Jake:Uhh.. What?

You turn around as you said that seeing Mary taking off her guard shirt flashing you her bra covered cleavage. You quickly turn back around and leave so as to not invade her personal space, despite the fact she technically started stripping around you first.

The flirting bunny, the evidently tight uniforms, and now this. What kind of establishment is this? As you think this you look at the stage seeing the three main performers spinning and posing on 3 different poles in their revealing outfits you suddenly remember.

Jake:Oh right, this place is half a brothel. Well, guess I should've expected these kinds of events.

You then walk out of the Diner glancing at the stage, Bonnie locking eyes with you and blowing you a kiss. This makes you wonder just how much worse things could get, or even more likely, how better things could get from now on.
