NIGHT 2
Bev was there to let Roman in before she left to go home and probably take a nap. Mystic Hippo was waiting for Roman, just standing there in the doorway to the rest of the location, and the fact that the mediocre melodies are all 4 ft tall actually made it creepier, "please give me your right hand mr Cannon" this was an interesting first interaction to be sure, "uhh sure ma'am" she spent a few moments circling her fingertips on Romans hand until she started speaking. "A home is a sacred place, a place where families grow. Someone will violate the sanctity of your home soon, you will try to hold them off, and when they succeed in forcing you out, run into the hedge maze and at the center of said maze you will find access to safety." That's one way to start a shift, but he'll process that shit later.
He took the first right to check on the Rockstars, and they immediately picked him up and took him down the elevator that connected the stage room to the kitchen. And that's how he wound up taste testing for El Chip while Rockstar Freddy, Rockstar Bonnie, and Rockstar Chica practiced performing, and Rockstar Foxy's just kinda there being Foxy. El Chip spoke, "one chicken taco, one beef taco, and one goat meat taco, plus a cheese quasida and a beef quasida, tell me what you think" Roman was confused on the goat meat, but why not. "More cheese on everything, and I'm reasonably certain the chicken was undercooked" Roman grabbed the goat meat taco and went up the elevator to check on the others.
Roman walked in on the toys playing go fish, but no Mangle. "Where's Mangle? It was Toy Freddy who answered "they locked themselves in the family restroom in one of their moods and Bev will get angry if we break the door, so we'll waiting for them to leave so we can comfort them" ok that's not good, but thankfully Roman knows how to pick locks. It only took 2 minutes for Roman to pick the lock, now comes the hard part of dealing with a depressed mangled animatronic. Roman opened the door and rushed to the other side so Mangle couldn't force him out the door. "Go outside and feel the love of your friends" Mangle did not respond and just kinda stared at him in bewilderment, "ok then ill just force you out" he then decided to pick up the 7 ft tall mass of a metal skeleton and rush them outside the bathroom, then quickly dropped them into their friends. While the others hugged Mangle and made them feel valid, Roman mused on how Mangle even looked like that. Like three legs that are actually arms, two arms plus a third with a hook sticking out of their spine, plus the two heads each with their own neck. After about 5 minutes Mangle started playing go fish with the others and Roman went on to the other animatronics.
Ballora and Lolbit were practicing dancing, while Funtime Freddy and Funtime Bonnie were playing uno. Roman then realized the funtimes are the smallest group of animatronics in this establishment at 4 total members. Ballora then noticed Roman and immediately ran over and dragged him to the stage. "Ok so Lolbit will be your partner for this dance, who's gonna be leading the dance?" So most of the animatronics are 7 ft tall, except the mediocre melodies who are 4 ft, Ballora who's 8 ft, and Security who's 9 ft tall. Roman is 6 ft 5 thanks to the 3 inch lifts he wears in his shoes. Both Roman and Lolbit decided Lolbit would lead due simply to the height difference, this was a mistake. "Ahhhhhhh" Lolbit stepped on Roman's foot, a 500+ pound animatronic stepped on his human dance partner's foot. Roman quickly fell to the ground and took his shoe off to check his foot, "ok doesn't look like it's broken, and I don't feel any blood" Lolbit looked incredibly concerned. Roman was the next to speak funnily enough "Enough dance lessons, all of us are playing a game of hide and seek". His tone made it clear this was not for debate. "Lolbit you seek, ok." Roman had Ballora pick him up and raise him up so he could climb into one of the ceiling vents. Lolbit found Funtime Freddy hiding behind a curtain, and immediately found Funtime Bonnie on Funtime Freddy's head. Ballora and Roman managed to avoid being found at all. "It's ok Lolbit I still love you" Roman said as he left to go to the office.
"You know they were purposefully messing with you right." That was the first thing security said when Roman walked into the office. "Bullshit, why the hell would Mangle fake a mental breakdown, or Lolbit purposely step on my foot?" Security took a moment before responding "the owner commanded them to do it" "why the fuck would he do that" was Romans obvious followup question. "He wants to make you the manager of this location." "why the fuck" Security cut him off before he could finish "You look like his dead son, well you would if you washed that hair dye out your head" all this left one last question to be asked. "Don't laugh, just believe me, I'm his son. I died and am possessing the security puppet" Roman literally fell out of his chair at that. Roman decided to ask a few questions, "question one, does your father know you are possessing Security? Question two, I look like you? Question three, can you possess other things or just the security puppet?" not the questions Security was expecting, but that's to be expected at this point. "Yes, yes, I'm stuck in the security puppet, I can move things inside the restaurant but that's about it." After that Roman and Security just sat there in silence until 6AM.
Roman went to get his coins from Toy Chica, "here you go handsome, 50 coins as apology for what we put you through, and we are sorry about that." Roman didn't bother responding, but he did go to check on the prizes. Rockstar Chica was sitting behind the prize booth waiting, "hello night guard, what do you want" there were lots of prizes, including a cut down pump action shotgun, a cattle prod, and weed of all things. Where in god's name did she get this stuff. After a moment of looking at the merchandise, Romans mind turned to Mystic Hippo's warning "how much for the cattle prod and the charging cord?" Rockstar Chica thought for a moment "25 coins for the cattle prod, 3 for the cord" Roman handed the coins over and got the cattle prod and cord. "How much for the pre-rolled joints?" Rockstar Chica reached under and grabbed a few metal boxes "20 coins for a pack of 12" Roman bought 3 packs, and Rockstar Chica threw in a free zippo lighter as a treat.
