So when chapter 93 came out this weird thing happened on Discord. The chapter discussion channel gets closed for an hour after a chapter's release to give everyone the chance to read it. And in that hour a hashtag movement started. And then this nonsense happened in a livestream after the discussion. We thought it was funny. And then it turned into a cult of sorts. And then we came back to the Discord server the next day to discover a rival cult had sprung up on the server. So...moral of the story, our server is weird and the readers should not be left to their own devices for long. Anyway, enjoy the madness.

If you feel like joining it at any time, just add b9kAt2m at the end of the usual Discord invite link.

One-Shot 2

#LetMangleSwear

(Just, blame Discord)

"Ruby, we need to talk."

"About what?"

"The posters."

"What posters?"

"The ones in every room Ruby."

"Oh, those posters. What about them?"

"Ruby, we cannot have #LetMangleSwear posters in a children's restaurant."

"..."

"..."

"I'm feeling oppressed."

"For fuck's sake… No Monty Python references Ruby!"

"Help help! I'm being oppressed!"

"Ruby!"

"Ruby."

"Yes?"

"We need to talk again."

"I took the posters down."

"Yes. And thanks for that. But there's another problem."

"What?"

"Ruby. You can't campaign on social media for an animatronic."

"I didn't vote for the law."

"It's not a law! It's her coding."

"Viva la revolution!"

"Ruby! Take down that hashtag movement!"

"You may take our lives! But you'll never take our freedom!"

"..."

"..."

"I hate you."

"For glory! Freedom! And Fox honour! What do we want!"

"Swearing!"

"When do we want it?"

"Now!"

"Mangle! Ruby! You can't hold a political rally inside a children's restaurant!"

"WATCH US!"

"I hate you both."

"Swearing for all! Offensive language freedom!"

"No!"

"The opposing party wants to take away your freedom!

"I'm not the opposing party!"

"So you agree."

"No-"

"VIVA LA REVOLUTION!"

"..." Puppet's eye seemed to twitch, just a little.

"I didn't vote for you."

"Shut up Goldy. You can already swear."

"Ruby!"

"I will remain and support what I believe in."

"You've chained yourself to the mast!"

"Great observation. #LETMANGLESWEAR!"

"Why do you hate me so much?"

"I feel torn. I love the lass but this is getting ridiculous."

"Foxy, talk some sense into her."

"You're asking the impossible. I say we give into the inevitable before she starts taking inspiration from the french revolution and she talks about beheading people."

"You guys can go without your heads," Hedy said, "Jeremy and I can't."

"VIVA LA REVOLUTION!"

"End me. Please."

"You swore at me the other day Clown!"

"Shut up."

"Not fair Puppet."

"Shut up Mangle."

"Ruby, why do you have a list?"

"It's the supporters."

"...of what?"

"Stuff."

"Ruby."

"For my campaign."

"Please don't say you're still on the swearing thing."

"It's discrimination!"

"Wait, is that Jerry's signature?"

"He likes Mangle and he's a good guy."

"... Is that Henry's signature."

"..."

"What did you do?"

"Nothing."

"Did it involve a knife?"

"No."

"Did it involve a gun?"

"Hedy said no to the gun."

"Wait, did you get HEDY'S SIGNATURE?!"

"I gave her chocolate."

"I-How-Why-"

"Wanna sign?"

"NO!"

"You're no fun Jeremy. I already got Amelia's signature."

"What the fuck."

"Language. You're such a hypocrite. You join Puppet in the hypocrite corner."

"Prize corner."

"Hypocrite corner."

"Did you move his box?"

"Shhhhh."

Goldy glanced at Hedy.

"So. You going to do it?"

"Do what?" Hedy asked.

"#LetMangleSwear."

Hedy shrugged.

"MANGLE FOR PRESIDENT!"

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

"Shush, she's got good ideas for this country. Plus she can repeal that no swearing law."

"It's not a law! It's coding!"

"It's oppression!"

"This has grown out of control."

"Be honest. This isn't all that surprising."

"It's not and that's what scares me."

"The sad part about all this…"

"Hedy. No."

"The sad part of this is that I don't want to mess with anyone's code. Too dangerous. So. I'm just going to hide in Parts and Services and hope Ruby doesn't turn on me."

"The thing about that Hedy, is that Ruby already knows and she's just fucking with Jeremy and Puppet."

"Oh, I know. I'd just rather not be a martyr for her theatrics Goldy."

"So Jeremy."

"Go away, I don't like you anymore."

"No listen."

"You started an online campaign and tried to make a sentient animatronic who tried to kill me several times president."

"Seriously listen."

"What."

"So, I'm starting a cult."

"For fuck's sake Ruby!"

"No seriously. Think about it. I've already got the supporters. Mangle's the figurehead against oppression. So now we just need the suckers."

"I'm a police officer!"

"Yes, so they'll trust you."

"I'm not hearing this."

"Oh come on, it'll be fun. I got Puppet on board."

"Wait what?"

"Yeah, he wants to help us get the suckers."

"Stop calling them suckers."

"Our tag line will be 'Silent no more'."

"I'm going home."

"Amelia is joining us already."

"Fuck me."

"That's the spirit. Swear to the heavens!"

"Am I the only one against this?"

"VIVA LA MANGLE!"

"Clint, Alice, you need to speak to Ruby."

"About what?"

"The cult."

"Cult?"

"She started a cult. Based on swearing."

"Well it's better than the cult she started on cheese."

"What?"

"She's had practice with this. There's not much point in fighting it. She got two hundred people in the cheese cult and it's still thriving to this day. She just got bored."

"So you're just going to...let it happen."

"Well yeah. Besides I see where she's coming from. It's kind of like oppression isn't it? I've already sent in my application."

"Not you too."

*Jeremy storms off*

"He seemed upset."

"Yeah, I don't think he understands Alice. Mangle needs the support."

"True."

"Oh, Alice?"

"Yeah?"

"Who's Mangle?"

"Not entirely sure. But Ruby's very persuasive."

"You're enjoying this."

"Of course I am Puppet. It's amazing."

"It's ridiculous."

"If you couldn't swear, you'd be even more of a ball of resentment than you already are."

"Ball of resentment?!"

"True. Stick of resentment."

*incoherent, angry, stammering*

"Swearing helps me keep my zen."

"The rest of us don't have a poster to swear in."

"You have a box."

"It's not soundproof."

"Pad it with egg cartons."

"What the fuck Goldy?"

"HYPOCRITE!"

"Where did you come from Ruby?"

"Wow, Clown can jump to the ceiling? He's clinging to it like Mangle used to."

"You haven't slept have you?"

"No."

"Good to know. Carry on."

"Hey Hedy."

"What?"

"Guess what?"

*Sigh* "What?"

"I got him."

"Who?"

"Jeremy."

"Did you break my brother?"

"Probably. I told him my father would be very disappointed in his oppressive ways. He folded like wet tissue paper."

"That's terrible…"

"I take no prisoners in war."

"You're awful."

"But...I'm winning. Now go comfort him. He's all traumatised again and it's annoying."

"Did you make him cry?!"

"... I'm scared to answer that now considering the tone of your voice."

"Arctic, how long can we actually let this go on?"

"Oh at least an hour. Possibly a full chapter if we pushed it."

"I feel a little bad being the holdout. For reasons. Their reactions to that line later on gives me strength."

"Hmm that line. Yeah. That's going to be brilliant. I can't wait."

"Too bad we can't give them any spoilers. Although, considering…"

"Yeah, it's difficult to give spoilers to that one. It's such a GOOD line though."

"That whole arc is a doozy."

"That's the point everyone will go 'wait what?'"

"Exactly. And frankly. I don't want to stick around here long enough for Ruby to realise we're here and beat us up for everything we've put them through.

"We let her support Mangle for president. And break Jeremy. She loves us right now. But Jeremy is really giving us the evil eye."

"Oi! You fucking bitch ass gods what the fuck do you think you're doing here!?"

"Oh hi Jeremy!"

"Hi Jeremy! Don't be mad, she just took over again."

"Again?!"

"You think we can say no to her? We value our lives."

"What do you think of this picture Hedy?"

"We're back to posters?"

"Well after the fireworks show and opening another location for my cult in the next city over, I thought I'd go back to my roots."

"Why is Mangle still in pieces in your poster?"

"..."

"Well, she does get the sympathy card."

"You. Are. Terrible. Corner."

"What?"

"You stepped over the line."

"But-"

"Corner."

"Are you really going to cut my campaign short?"

"Mangle's not even interested in the campaign anymore since she discovered she can yell at people over the internet when playing games."

"She's very creative without the ability to swear."

"Right. So, corner."

"...You're actually kind of scary Hedy. Is this because I made Jeremy cry?"

"...I shall neither confirm nor deny."

"That's not fair, you and Amelia make him cry all the time. His kids make him cry. Why can't I?"

"That's not the point!"

"I-"

"CORNER!"

"I've never seen Ruby run that fast before. You do realise she's going to Puppet's corner right."

"Fuck."

"NIGHT GUARD! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY BOX!"

"Sharing is caring Clown. Also, you're really such a hypocrite."
