Oliver was starting his new job at Ratchet's Frights, a horror attraction that was from Ratchet Entertainment. He entered the building, reading about the other attempts Ratchet Entertainment made to attract customers, and the rumors surrounding them.
He navigated his way through the hallways, seeing different items along the way to the office, like a Skye head, a Marshall head on a wall, a Zuma and Rocky stands with glowing eyes, arcade games (broken, no doubt), among other things.
Oliver entered the office and saw a box with different things in it. Then the phone rang.
"He-hey! Glad you came back for another night! I promise, it'll be a lot more interesting this time!".
Oliver didn't work here before. His job before this one was as a mall night-shift security guard.
"We found som-some great new relics over the weekend, and were out tracking down a new lead right now! So, uhh- let me just update you real quick, then you can get to work. Like, the attraction opens in like a week, so we have to make sure everything works, and nothing catches on fire! Uhm, when the place opens, canines will come in at the opposite end of the building, and works their towards you, and pass you, and out the exit. Uh, yeah you've officially become part of the attraction. Uh, you'll be starring as... The Security Guard! So not only will you be monitoring the people on the camera as they pass through, you know, to make sure no one steals anything or, makes out at the corner, but you'll also be a part of the show! It'll make it feel, really authentic I think.".
Ok, I can deal with that.
"Uh, now let me tell you about what's new. We found another set of drawings, always nice, and a Foxy head! Which we think could be authentic! Then again, it might just be another crappy cosplay. And we found a Desk fan, very old school, metal though, so watch the paws! Uh, heh! Uhm, right now the place is basically just, you know, flashing lights and spooky props. I honestly thought we'd have more by now, uh so if we don't have anything really cool by next week, we may have to suit you up in a Rocky suit, and make you walk around saying: "Booo!" Hehe. Uh, but you know like I said, were trying to track down, a good lead right now. Uh, some guy who helped design one of the buildings, said there was like, an extra room that got boarded up..? Or something like that. So! Were gonna take a peak, and see what we can find.".
Okay, so new stuff may be put in later. Good to know.
"Uh, for now just get comfortable with the new setup. You can check the security cameras over on your right, with a click of that blue button. Uh, you can toggle between the Hall cams and the Vent cams. Uh, then over on your far left, you can flip up your maintenance panel. You know, use this to reboot any systems that may go offline. Uh, in trying to make the place feel more vintage we have overdone it a bit! Heh heh. Some of this equipment is barely functional! Uh, I wasn't joking about the fire, that- that's a real risk. Uhm, but the most important thing, you have to watch for, is the Ventilation. Look, this place will give you the spooks man, and if you let that ventilation go offline, then you'll start seeing some craaazy stuff man, keep that air blowing! Ok, keep an eye on things, and we'll try to have something new for ya' tomorrow night.".
What things do you see?
Oliver kept an eye on things. It was boring, having nothing to do. But then the ventilation turned off.
Really? That's what I get to do all night? Fix things in the office? There's got to be more than this.
As he was fixing the problem, he saw something. A burnt up Rocky was walking in front of the window. He looked at it for a moment, and got jumpscared. It ended, but Oliver was still alive.
He was right. That was crazy.
The ventilation was working, and he kept it working for the entire night.
