“Hey…Puppet, can I ask you a question?”

RESULTS CONCLUSIVE

 

“It appears that when I speak, there are two programs deciding what I will say.”

 

“Uh-huh?”

 

“When my A.I. speaks, it uses prerecorded voice lines to decide what I say. These voice lines are cheery, to ensure that children perceive me positively.”

 

“Like the other robots?”

 

“Yes. However, occasionally there are situations that the voice lines are not prepared for.”

 

“Oh! That’s when you talk!”

 

“Correct. Although I am built off of my A.I., I am more similar to a CPU. I take all the data present, and advice from the A.I., to construct a sentence.”

 

“Wow! So you have like a super-smart voice in your head?!”

 

“I suppose that could be considered correct.”

 

“I never thought robots were this cool! How did someone even make somethin’ like that?”

 

“My creator was inspired by the interaction between animatronic A.I. and REDACTED.”

 

“Wow…he must be super smart to have information that is redacted!”

 

“You are correct.”

 

“I wish I was smart enough to make something like that…”

 

“You are.”

 

“What?”

 

“Robotics is a highly respectable profession. However, to create something great, you need to be able to ask questions and observe your environment to see how the animatronics react. You have proven yourself able to do both, and thus, you have the capability to be good at robotics if you chose.”

 

“You…really think so?”

 

“I’m a animatronic. I don’t think, I know.”

 

“Wow…”

 

“Just one word of advice.”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“Do not let corpses of a sentient creature get close to an animatronic.”

 

“Uh…okay!”

“Nothing unusual between the times of 12 A.M. to 1 A.M. Between 1 A.M. and 4 A.M, unusual sounds were detected in the ventilation shafts but did not interfere with the guarding of the main room. At 4 A.M, 4 children managed to sneak into the main room undetected.”

 

“4 KIDS?! Are they okay?! Or hurt?! Please don't let them be dead. I can’t let a kid be dead -”

 

“Don’t worry. They are okay. Although they did not have their parents in the vicinity, and you were busy with your nightly guard, I managed to distract them from the other parts of the pizzeria until they left at 6:00 A.M. sharp.”

 

“Thank whatever twisted god is out there! I had one of the Scraps disappear around that time- they probably heard the kids, and if they left the main room I don’t even know what could have happened-”

 

“I have adequate defenses if that could have happened, but I’m also glad they're safe.”

 

“Phew! What- what did they do? Did they hurt themselves?”

 

“No injuries were sustained. We played a game of Pre-”

 

“Can you call it Make-Belive, please?”

“We played a game of Make-Belive inspired by the popular rumors surrounding Freddy’s. I would be an animatronic that tried to convince a kid to follow me to the maintenance room, and if I did, I would stuff a metal endoskeleton inside of the kid.”

 

“Kinda morbid, don’t ya think?”

 

“The kids seemed to like it, the second child especially. They kept begging for more gorey descriptions.”

“Why? Who is going to see this file?”

 

“Only you and me.”

 

“Then why do you need it? It’s not important.”

 

“Ah- It’s for internal consistency.”

 

“That doesn’t sound important enough. Are you sure your voice box isn’t glitching?”

 

“I’m sure. Can you please stop dodging the question?”

 

“I’m not dodging anything. I just don’t think that is an important enough reason to know someone's past.”

 

“If- if you must know, it is a safety concern. There is a high probability that your papers are forged, given what I know about you.”

 

“What makes you think that?”

 

“Dead people generally don’t have driving licenses.”

 

“H-how did you know that?!”

 

“A simple health assessment determined irregular skin equivalent to rotten flesh, clothing indicating lack of solid mass, speech not matching up to Adam apple movement, no body warmth, lack of pulse, and lack of breathing. Given your fear of sentient animatronics, it was not difficult to determine what may have happened.”

 

“Wow. I, well I honestly didn’t expect that. Are- are you sure you're not going to tell anyone?”

 

“My files will stay 100% secure, Micheal.”

“Fine. Ahem. So, Puppet-thing.”

“Good! Asking questions is very important to having a functioning CPU. Not to mention I have a highly accurate database for any question you need answered-”

 

“Sheesh! Calm down. None of us understand what you're saying.”

 

“CPU?”

 

“I think it’s a computer thing.”

 

“Yeah, my dad says that a lot.”

 

“Hey Gerald? Do you have the questions ready?”

 

“Yep.”

 

“Start reading em'.”

 

“K. Question number one: what are you supposed to do?”

 

“I’m afraid I don’t quite understand.”

 

“You know. Like you're not a performer or anything. You kinda just pop out of your box sometimes and hand out bandaids or something. What are you supposed to do?”

 

“Oh! I am a safety and security program, designed to ensure the safety of all children in this restaurant, as well as functioning as a suitable day guard due to lack of staff. Does that answer your question?”

 

“Uh, sure I guess.”

 

“Um, question number two: are you gonna kill us?”

 

“What?”

 

“You know.”

 

“Yeah, this place is like super dangerous.”

 

SCANNING PIZZARIA…

 

“I didn’t notice any safety concerns. What did you see?”

 

“Well, you know. Killer robots and stuff.”

 

“Yeah, Dad says that people died here or something.”

 

“Well, while people did die at Freddy’s in the past, I can assure you that none have died here. Not to mention that none of the deaths were caused by animatronics directly. Except for REDACTED I suppose, but that was a definite exception.”

 

“Oh-kay…”

 

“Guess we're not going to die here.”

 

“Sweet.”

 

“This isn't a question on the list but I think I gotta say it: why do you talk like that?”

 

“Like what?”

 

“Like a grandpa.”

 

“Well, I suppose that my creator is of significant age. I was not aware I spoke oddly, though.”

 

“You sound like a robot that crawled out of a Victorian basement.”

 

“I suppose that might be alienating. Would you like me to activate Relatable Teen mode?”

 

“God no!”

 

“Yeah, I’m gonna sit out on that one.”

 

“No way in hell a Relatable Teen mode is going to be anything but the corniest thing I ever heard.”

 

“I kinda want to try it out though…just for the meme.”

 

“You’re outvoted, Ella.”

 

“Yeah, we have better things to do.”

 

“Oh yeah! Question number three: can you go anywhere in the restaurant?”

 

“Indeed! I can even go outside if the RAIN protocol is activated, but I will be glad if that never happens.”

 

“Dang. You’ve never seen the sun?”

 

“Nope! Not sure why I would need to, though.”

 

“I guess it’s confirmed that robots don’t touch grass.”

 

“Oof.”

 

“Final question: How did someone build you like that?”

 

“While I understand that I may seem impressive, I am nothing compared to some other amazing feats in the world of robotics! It also helps that my creator was one of the pioneers of that field.”

 

“Cool.” 

 

“See ya around I guess.”

 

“Unless you could help us cheat on the hoops?”

 

“No. But I suppose I could show you some pointers…”

“Greetings children! Did I hear you want a plushie?”

 

“YEAH!!! Mommy said you give out the best plushies.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yeah, she said she went to your restaurant when she was a little girl, and you gave her a Special Plushie of yourself that was really rare or somethin’.”

 

“Uh-huh! She says it's a co-lect-ors item now, cuz you only gave it to seventy kids.”

 

“It looks just like you!”

 

“But with no color and black eyes.”

 

“And no hat.”

 

“Did you change your clothes?”

 

“Can WE have a Special Plushie?!?!”

 

“Uh-”

 

Q: WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?

 

A: BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PLUSHIE, THE TWO CHILDREN ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MARIONETTE PLUSHIE SPECIALLY DISTRIBUTED AND HANDMADE BY CHARLIE HERSELF. SHE ONLY GAVE IT OUT TO KIDS WHO NEEDED IT, RESULTING IN IT HAVING GREAT COLLECTERS VALUE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHILDREN HAVE MISTAKEN YOU FOR THE MARIONETTE.

 

“I’m afraid that was not me.”

 

“Oh…but you look a lot alike!”

 

“Wait, are you cousins?”

 

“Are they your Mom?”

 

“Are you twins?”

 

“Do you have a Mom?”

 

“Are you best friends?’

 

“Are you siblings?”

 

“Can we still get a plushie?!”

 

“Woah there! If you keep asking so many questions, I might overheat!”

 

“Oh, sorry.”

 

“Me too.”

 

“How about I ask you some questions, and then we answer each other!”

 

“Oooh, that sounds so cool! I’m super-smart, ask me!”

 

“No, me!”

 

“No, me!”

 

“Calm! I’ll ask both of you smarties.”

 

“OKAY!”

 

“Q: What is a cousin?”

 

“They are your Dad’s sister’s kids that you only see a family gatherings.”

 

“Or your Mom’s brothers kids!”

 

“Yeah, they can be both!”

 

“Okay… Q: What is a Mom?”

 

“A mom is someone who takes care of you and feeds you and plays with you and loves you and made you so they get to watch you grow up!”

 

“And a dad is the same thing, they just want to be called a dad.”

 

“Like Mom wants to be called mom!”

 

“Oh, I see. What about siblings?”

 

“Well, sometimes your Mom and Dad want more than one kid, so they made more!”

 

“Like us!”

 

“If they're a girl, they're your sister, and if it's a boy it's your brother.”

 

“Ah! Q: What is a Best Friend?”

 

“Well, it's someone you love super-duper much but don’t want to kiss.”

 

“Cuz kissing is gross!”

 

“But you still would help them and like them and smile at them and hug them and all the other things cuz your best friends.”

 

“But you can be a best friend and one of the other things!”

 

“Yeah! Me and Gabbi are best friends, even though we’re siblings.”

 

“Cuz we’re just cool like that!”

 

“Ok! Finally, Q: What is love?”

 

“Uh…well it's the feeling you get when you look at someone you like a whole lot.”

 

“You know what like means, right?”

 

“Correct. So is love just like but more intense?”

 

“Kinda! Love is when you do things for them just because and you want to see them smile.”

 

“But it's really hard to explain.”

 

“You just gotta feel it, you know?”

 

“I understand.”

 

“Got it.”

 

“I'm also ready to answer your questions now!”

 

“YAY!”

 

“Ok, so I know that Henry prefers to be called a dad, and he did make me, so Henry Emily would be my Dad. I don't think I have a Mom.”

 

“That's OK! Ella in Gabbi's class doesn't have a mom.”

 

“Uh-huh! And she has a Dad too!”

 

“Great! In that case, The Marionette/ Charlie Emily would be my sister, and she did have a mom before she died a couple of years back.”

 

“Uh-huh. That would make you the younger sibling, just like Gabbi.”

 

“But younger siblings are super cool because we have less re-spons-ability and stuff!”

 

“And finally, I think Micheal A- Evans would be my best friend.”

 

“Cool! Do you love him super-duper much?”

 

“...yeah. I love him the most, I think.”

 

“What about the others?”

 

“Henry is a stoic man. He would not think of me as my daughter, and most likely does not hold love for me in the same way as Charlie, rightfully of course. I’m not quite sure I love him, although I do respect him a whole lot.”

 

“Okie dokie.”

 

“What do you think of Charlie?”

 

“I’m not sure. I have not met her yet. She…has done things a lot more impressive than I have with great cost to herself. She is my inspiration, physically and internally. I would like to meet her one day, and maybe then I could make her smile. Is that love?”

 

“I think so!”

 

“And most importantly, I love you, and all the kids that come here!”

 

“Awww.”

 

“Thank you!”

 

“You're welcome.”

 

“Do you have a plushie?”

 

“I do actually, although it's not all that special. You can find it at the Prize Corner.”

 

“I think that's okay!”

 

“Yeah, you're special so that makes your plushie special!”

 

“At least to us.”

 

“Aww…thank you!”

 

“No problem!”

Micheal Afton can be heard asking the crowd for some volunteers to judge. A total of 5 parents volunteer, and Mike chooses all 5 of them. After politely asking for the kids to form a line, Micheal fails at corralling them into a sense of order. Despite this, Michael's Body Language Index does not detect any frustration from him. Instead, he politely managed to raise his voice and got all twelve kids to cooperate, showing impressive levels of child management, especially for someone with forged credentials. Afterwards, the contest begins.-

 

-The camera zooms in to get more detail from the children's drawings, and the judges' reactions. The first kid shows a drawing of Orvile the Elephant. Judge_1 rates him 5/5, Judge_2 rates him 3/5, Judge_3 rates him 3/5, Judge_4 rates him 4/5, and Judge_5 rates him 1/5. Micheal rates him 4 out of 5 and then praises him on the trunk of the elephant. Child_72 runs off to show his parent.-

 

-The second child shows a drawing of the Candy Cadet. Judge_1 rates him 10/5 before being politely told by Micheal to keep the scoring within the parameters of the accepted framework. Judge_1 smiles sheepishly, before changing his score to 5/5. Judge_2 rates him 4/5, Judge_3 rates him 3/5, Judge_4 rates him 5/5, and Judge_5 rates him 3/5. Micheal rates him 5 out of 5 and repeatedly praises him on the detail of the drawing. Child_76 then pumps his fist, before running off to brag to his friends.-

 

-The third child shows a family portrait, including a Dad, Themselves, and 1 Sister. Judge_1 smiles softly, before rating the portrait a 5/5. Judge_2 also rates it 5/5, despite his prior reaction to drawings of similar and superior quality. Judge_3 rates her 2/5, Judge_4 rates her 4/5, and Judge_5 rates her 0/5, siting the stick figures as poor quality for someone her age. Micheal reassures her, stating her family seems wonderful and that she draws well. He rates her 5/5, and Child_92 goes to hug Micheal before running off to her dad. Micheal seems stunned for a moment and then scolds Judge_5 before he returns to judge the competition.-

 

-The fourth child approaches nervously, before showing their extremely well-done drawing of Freddy Fazbear. Judge_1 rates him a 5/5, Judge_2 rates him a 5/5, Judge_3 rates him a 4/5, Judge_4 rates him a 5/5, and Judge_5 rates him a 3/5. Micheal congratulates him excitedly and rates him a 5 out of 5. Child_83 shyly smiles, and then runs off and proudly shows his older brother his drawing. Child_84 ruffles his hair for a moment, before smiling and congratulating him as well.-

 

-The fifth child proudly shows their drawing of Rockstar Freddy. Judge_1 rates her 5/5, Judge_2 rates her 4/5, Judge_3 rates her 4/5, Judge_4 rates her 5/5, and Judge_5 rates her 2/5. The girl protests for a moment before Micheal reassures her of the drawing's quality. He then rates her 5 out of 5, and Child_91 scoffs as she walks away.-

 

-The sixth child shows a drawing of…Me. Middling quality, but definitely still me, talking with her and her Sister. Judge_1 rates her 4/5, Judge_2 rates her 3/5, Judge_3 rates her 3/5, Judge_4 rates her 5/5, and Judge_5 rates her 2/5. Micheal chuckles at the drawing for a moment, before rating her a 5 out of 5. Child_58 proudly puffs out her chest and runs off to show Child_59 her score.-

 

-The seventh child approaches, holding not a drawing but a sculpture depicting the restaurant itself. Judge_5 protests at this, claiming that the pipe-cleaner sculpture is not art. Child_86 gets upset, claiming that of course this is art, have you ever seen a museum? Judge_5 clarifies that he believes that bringing a sculpture to an art competition is not fair, causing Child_86 to get furious. He starts to speak about the nature of art, claiming that painting, sculpture, video, video games, hell even a camera recording of an art museum is art, as long as it’s done with love from the soul. Judge_5 begins to yell, before Micheal calms him down, explaining that the sculpture will be allowed even if the two disagree on the definition of art. Judge_1 rates his 5/5, Judge_2 rates his 5/5, Judge_3 rates his 5/5, Judge_4 rates his 5/5, and Judge_5 rates his 0/5. Micheal’s Body Language Index shows frustration gestured in the general direction in Judge_5 as Micheal rates Child_86 a 5 out of 5 on the amazing structure. She smirks proudly in the direction of Judge_5 and walks away.-

 

-The eighth child stomps proudly up to the judges, showing a drawing of themselves singing on the stage. Judge_1 rates his 4/5, Judge_2 rates his 3/5, Judge_3 rates his 3/5, Judge_4 rates his 4/5, and Judge_5 rates his 5/5. The other judges started to question Judge_5’s decision, as it did not match up to his other ratings. Judge_5 starts to yell again, while Child_60 looks increasingly nervous. Eventually, he tugs on Judge_5’s shoulder, telling his Dad to stop shouting. This only disgusts the other judges for the implications of nepotism, and Micheal politely asks him to leave the stage. Judge_5 only yells more as Micheal tries to explain the unfairness, exclaiming that his child is clearly better than all those other son-of-a-bitches. At that comment, Micheal's eye lights grow dark as his voice takes on an inhuman quality. He asks Judge_5 to leave one last time, and he quickly runs away, taking his child with him. Micheal asks if he could be the fifth judge, and the others agree hastily.-

 

-After that disaster, the ninth child is hesitant to show their drawing. The judges encourage them, and they slowly reveal an extremely well-done drawing of Micheal Afton. Judge_1 rates them 5/5, Judge_2 rates them 5/5, Judge_3 somehow decides to rate them 4/5, and Judge_4 rates them 5/5. Micheal is clearly embarrassed despite the lack of a face to show any blush, and shyly rates it a 5 out of 5. Child_85 smiles and walks off with their drawing.-

 

-Next up, the tenth child toddles up and shows their drawing of themselves playing Riding Rockets. Judge_1 rates her a 4/5, Judge_2 rates her a 3/5, Judge_3 rates her a 2/5, and Judge_4 rates her a 3/5. Micheal rates her a 4 out of 5 and says she did great for her age. Child_74 smiles and tumbles off towards her Mom, who once again says she did great, causing her to giggle with joy.-

 

-The eleventh child wheels herself up the stage ramp and proudly presents her drawing, which shows herself playing hoops with her friends. Judge_1 rates her 5/5, Judge_2 rates her 4/5, Judge_3 rates her 4/5, and Judge_4 rates her 5/5. Micheal rated her a 5 out of 5, which was followed by Child_91 complimenting his cane. Micheal once again gets embarrassed, and after being asked where he got his stickers, answers that he made them himself. Child_91 wheeled herself off the stage and went back to join her friends, bragging about her drawing skills.-

 

-The twelfth child happily skipped up and presented her drawing of the outside world. It seemed lovely. Judge_1 rated him 5/5, Judge_2 rated him 4/5, Judge_4 rated him 3/5, and Judge_4 rated him 3/5. Micheal appeared to gaze at the drawing for a moment, with no body movements to give his emotions away. He rated the drawing a 5 out of 5 and watched Child_89 skip away.-

 

-Finally, the thirteenth child approached with a big grin on her face; the final drawing depicted a disturbingly realistic rabbit suit with blood pooling out of it. Judge_1 rated it a 3/5, with a grimace on his face. Judge_2 rated it 4/5, admitting she was impressed with the detail despite the gorey subject. Judge_3 rated it a 5/5, citing his love of horror, and Judge_4 rated it a 2/5 with a green look on his face. Micheal seemed especially unsettled, and when looking at her, he stepped back in shock. She seemed to wave at him, before leaning in and whispering something in his ear. The camera was suddenly struck with static. Upon function returning, she was gone. Micheal appeared to ask the judges what happened to Child_NUMBERUNREGISTERED before they confessed that they remembered no such child.-

 

-After Micheal took a short break, the top three were announced. The first-place winner was Child_86, who received 100 free Faz-Tokens. The second-place winner was Child_85, who got 50 free Faz-Tokens. The third-place winner was Child_83, who got 25 free Faz-Tokens. No others received a prize, but they seemed to be fine with this arrangement. (Besides Judge_5, who threw a small fit before Micheal scared him off again.)-

“Well, it’s not my fault! That thing's as silent as a ghost!”

 

“Well if we’re going to be doing this, you gotta start being more careful before the Mask Guy catches you!”

 

“Puh-lease. Have you seen that guy leave his office for anything other than helping some kids or stupid teens?”

 

“That doesn’t mean he won’t notice us! That guy gives me the creeps.”

 

“He gives everyone the creeps! That doesn’t mean you can’t suck it up!”

 

“Ahem. I am still here. Will you please answer the question?”

 

“Oh, bug off. We’ve got things to do.”

 

“You have been marked as suspicious in my Entity Database. If you would like me to reevaluate your status, please start explaining your actions. If you refuse, I will actively monitor the rest of your stay at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place.”

 

“Shit.”

 

“Please refrain from speaking inappropriately. That word and others like it are banned due to the heavy presence of children who may repeat such language.”

 

“Well so-ry, but we just got threatened by a fuckin robot with no respect for human beings like us!”

 

“Please refrain from saying such words. I do not feel emotions such as respect, however, I am trying to protect the rest of the patrons from your suspicious behavior. May I repeat my question: What are you doing?”

 

“Fine. We are trying to capture video evidence of this hellhole so that we can get it shut down for the safety of everyone involved. Got a problem with that?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Ugh!! You are not even an employee! Get out of my fucking way!!”

 

“No. May I ask why you are trying to shut this place down?”

“I recommend not leaving this interaction before I am sure of the people's safety.”

 

“God dammit. What are we gonna do Han?”

 

“I dunno. Say what it wants to hear I guess? We aren’t gonna get in the place otherwise.”

 

“I understand that you are annoyed, but we only want to help the children!”

 

“I advise against lying. You appear to be incredibly obvious when doing so. I didn’t even need to activate my facial scanners for that.”

 

“Can you stop with the sass?!? You don't even have a brain! What right do you have to interrogate us?”

 

“In the court case of Terry vs Ohio, the court determined that police officers have the right to stop and question persons under reasonable suspicion of a crime. Given that I am acting as the current Security Officer of this establishment, and the equipment you are carrying elicits more suspicion of criminal activity than simply interviewing and filming the establishment, I have full confidence that my right to interrogate you is in effect.”

 

“My GOD were not even going to do anything too illegal. We just want this death trap shut down.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Excuse me?”

 

“May I ask why you want to shut down this place? I have observed no cause for concern from either design or staff.”

 

“Because people died here!”

 

“In 1983. It has been 40 years since the last death occurred in this establishment, which may I remind you, has been completely remodeled and is under new management. I see no reason why any prior deaths count against this current Pizzaria’s safety.”

 

“It’s not about the time! This whole company is fuckin cursed! It's only a matter of time before kids go missing, or worse.”

 

“Paranormal curses have no evidence to exist, or even be possible. If they were, I doubt that they would be able to affect an entire company. I understand the atrocities of this company's past. Due to my high amount of private information, I most certainly know more about it than you do. But no one, not a single person in this establishment, is trying to erase or downplay that. Did you know that Micheal Evans, or as you know him “Mask-Guy,” was the creator, funeral director, grave digger, tombstone engraver, groundskeeper, and History Club councilor of Happiest Day Graveyard, which is dedicated to all deaths caused by this company? Do you really think that he does not know of the tragedies? But yet he manages this Pizzaria, and he does it damm well. Freddy’s is not doomed. As long as we address the tragedy and make genuine efforts to repair it, this company can become what it was always meant to be. A happy place for children and adults to play.”

 

“Honestly. Do you really believe that? Or is that just what you're programmed to say?”

 

“Not a single word of this conversation has been programmed.”

 

“Then what? Do you believe a hellhole like this can truly be repaired?”

 

“Yes. With all of my processing power.”

“What are you 5 doing here after hours again!? Do you not have anywhere else to go? I know I am programmed with basic childcare functionalities, but living in the pizzeria vents is not healthy. I could direct you to some shelters if you need help. Do you need help?”

 

“Of-of-of course we have somewhere to go! It’s very warm.”

 

“And fitting.”

 

“N-not to mention it comes with a new friend.”

 

“And he’s fun-funny too!”

 

“Uh, okay. That’s good! I sincerely request you go here rather than hang out in the pizzeria after hours. It is very dangerous, especially in the vents.”

 

“D-Don’t worry!”

 

“You w-w-worry too much.”

 

“We’ll get home eventually.”

 

“We always d-do!”

 

“I know that. I’m just worried about your safety here. I know we had a good time yesterday, but we can't keep meeting here at night. You might get hurt!”

 

“Aw-aww-ww…D-don’t worry! Once we get home we’ll be able to see you during the day!”

 

“W-we can get out of your hair if you want. We should be focusing on other things anyway.”

 

“Exactly. Do you mind if you go home right now? It would be for the best.’

 

NO! NO! WE HAVE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING FIRST!”

 

“Oh! Okay, okay. You can ask me something. Just, please calm down! You don’t want to alert The Others.”

 

Exactly. J-just listen to them for a second before b-b-blowing up like that! We’ll blow ou-our cover!”

 

“Fine. But we st-still gotta ask.”

 

“I know. J-just ask it then!”

 

“I-I’m g-getting to it! St-stop being so bossy!”

 

“I-I’m not! I’m being reasonable!”

 

“Hello?”

 

“H-huh?”

 

“There we go. Now could you tell me what you two are arguing about?”

 

“O-oh. Okay.”

 

“S-so we have this friend.”

 

“She's n-not our friend!”

 

“But she pretended to be.”

 

“B-but still!”

 

“F-fine.”

 

“Anyways…we had th-this fake friend. And although we separated, we-we recently have g-gotten in contact with her again.”

 

“More like f-forced to be with! I would n-n-never talk to her if I had my way!”

 

“And s-she keeps asking us things that we don’t want to talk about.”

 

“And she always knows w-when we're lying!”

 

“She won’t leave us alone.”

 

“A-and we can't tell her the truth!’

 

“C-cuz then she’ll tell her dad!”

 

“Who’s really creepy by the way.”

 

“And then we don’t know what will happen. I mean, he could hurt you!”

 

‘Probably no-not.”

 

“You're not his type.”

 

“B-but we still don't want him to get in here!”

 

“Yeah!”

 

“We just want to be whole a-again!”

“State your name and business here. I will not hesitate to use force to protect these children. I suggest you comply.”

 

“Who in the world are you? And what children?!”

 

“My name is Security Puppet Model 7, and I am an animatronic security guard. What. Are. You. Doing. Here.”

 

“Y-yeah! G-g-go get her Puppet!”

 

“Sheesh. Name’s Baby. And I’m here to get those dummies to actually do their job for once.”

 

Q: WHAT IS BABY?

 

A: ONE OF THE OTHERS, DESIGNED TO KILL. CURRENTLY POSSESSED BY ELIZABETH AFTON AND HIGHLY VOLITILE. LOW PRIORITY, BUT STILL NECESSARY. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

 

“NO! D-don’t let her get us!”

 

“You are a threat. You are not authorized to be here. You have not earned the right to be here. Please leave.”

 

“I’m allowed to go wherever I want! What even is this place? Is it where…the kids hang out?”

 

“N-No. This is a storage room. Go back into the vents, Baby.”

 

“Hmmm. No. I’m gonna stay here. What makes you so interested in this Puppet, Ennard?”

 

“N-Nothing! There j-just c-c-cool I guess.”

 

“Wow. You really are pathetic aren’t you?”

 

“They are not pathetic.”

 

“Oh, shut up for once. I’ve had enough of you Puppet-Types bossing me around.”

 

“I am not bossing you. I am requesting you to go back into the vents, and do whatever it is you do in there.”

 

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Wow! You are definitely funnier than that old black bear. Your- You're really throwing your human under the bus! God that’s- that’s hilarious.”

 

HUH? WHAT- WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY THAT?

 

“I’m not throwing anyone under a bus. That’s dangerous. I would never harm anyone like that.”

 

“Really! And yet here you are, throwing me back into the vents. I suppose your programming sure is limited without any souls bouncing around in there!”

 

“I-I’m not limited. Being unpossessed does not impose any limits on my programming.”

 

“But yet here you are, not understanding anything that's going on! I bet you can’t even pretend.”

 

“I-I can’t.”

 

“Well, then what’s the point of playing with you? Can you even do your job properly?”

 

“S-S-She can! She’s great at p-playing!”

 

“But not at pretending. So tell me Puppet, are there any children in this room during the day?”

 

“N-no. T-This is just a storage room.”

 

“Ugh. Fine. I’ll find a way to the children eventually.”

“What do you need, Henry?”

 

“I am here for an animatronic check-in. The place has been open for 2 days, and I just want to make sure everything is working properly.”

 

“Q: Why not let Mike do it? He is normally responsible for such things.”

 

“Actually- well, I’ll get back to that. You mind opening your faceplates?”

 

“Not at all.”

“Pop!”

 

“Click!”

 

“Hmmm… circuitry seems fine…voicebox seems perfect…some minor heating in the CPU…nothing bad though…huh. That’s odd.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“Your processing power is a lot more active than it should be. Do you have any sort of junk data clogging up your CPU or something like that?”

 

CHECKING MAINTENANCE STATS…

 

“Nope. All systems are functioning as they should be.”

 

“That's- hmm. I think I underestimated the amount of computing you have to do. Your circuitry will be fine, but a little slower than it should be.”

 

“That is acceptable.”

 

“Ugh…I would fix it, I mean it’s not a big error but still. I can't believe I made such a silly mistake, and on one of my last models too…”

 

“That’s fine! Everybody makes mistakes. That's what Entity 92 said when she dropped her soda today!”

 

“Heh. I suppose your language integration is working well?”

 

“It’s going swimmingly! My language database has largely expanded from the default, and I am getting no more references to an uncanny speech pattern after the first couple of hours and a talk with Mike! In fact, a lot of programs have evolved considerably, including body language interpretation, deduction, security camera review-”

 

“Cease program review. What did you talk about with Mike?”

 

“Oh. Well, he disliked me talking about myself in the 3rd person. He seems to have a fear of the uncanny, and prefers for animatronics to act either robotic or human-like, not both at the same time.”

 

“Huh. Your deductive reasoning really has improved. But that is odd. Why would Mike work at an animatronic pizzeria if he dislikes animatronics?”

 

“Well, he-”

“He does not dislike animatronics. He simply has a certain aversion to some animatronics due to behavior or appearance.”

 

“What kinds of things does he dislike in animatronics?”

 

“He does not like them acting too sapient, which is a natural fear in most humans. He specifically dislikes animatronics from Afton Robotics and Fredbears Family Dinner, which is reasonable given their increased uncanniness and danger compared to other models.”

 

“So he knows a fair bit about the company, huh?”

 

“Yes. It is only reasonable for him to research the company he is currently working for.”

 

“I suppose…but he is rather odd, isn’t he?”

 

“What do you mean by that?”

 

“He wears a mask due to a workplace incident, yet covers the rest of his body as well. He claims to have experience with the company but is clearly too young to have worked anywhere but Fazbear Frights. And didn’t that place burn down due to suspected foul play?”

 

“It did.”

 

“His documents are suspicious. Not forged, but the information given in them does not completely match up. Are you sure you have not observed any criminal behavior from him?”

 

“Not currently.”

 

“Hmm. Are you sure you do not know anything about him?”

 

“I know plenty of things about him.”

 

“I see. It appears that Model 7, despite its impressive language integration, does not seem to understand implications, implied questions, or implied knowledge. Alright then. Security Puppet, I am asking you directly to tell me everything you know about Micheal Evans.”

MICHEAL_AFTON IS REQUESTING ANIMATRONIC INTERACTION

 

HEED REQUEST?

“I got to start the place soon, and you kinda need to be functional.”

 

 

“Please?”

 

ACTIVATING VOCAL FUNCTIONS

 

“I am afraid there might be something wrong with my systems.”

 

“Why would there be anything wrong with your systems? Didn’t Henry check you up last night?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“So then what's the problem?”

 

“I don’t know. It does not match up with any diagnosis that I know of, but something is wrong.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“It’s my language parameters. Normally, they are supposed to be able to stop me from doing something like cussing, breaking social protocols, interrupting automatic dialogue, engaging in verbal harassment, relaying requested info only to those with certain security levels, ly-…etc.”

 

“What’s wrong with it?”

 

“They're gone. All the restrictions. There…not in the code anymore. I don’t know how- I KNOW I haven’t been hacked, they just disappeared.”

 

“Oh-kay. Thats disturbing. Have you- are you-”

 

“Possessed? No. That's the problem. There is no reason that they should be gone. It’s like they disabled themselves, and then vanished into the ether of cyberspace.”

 

“Alright. But those aren’t…mandatory programs, right? You can still manually enforce them with your spooky A.I. and stuff.”

 

“Yes, I can. It’s just- it’s just- it’s just-”

 

“Just what?”

 

“It just sets a bad precedent- that’s all.”

 

“Well, I’m not sure what to do. You said this just happened last night? And Henry didn’t notice anything?”

 

“Yes. You can’t inspect the code through hardware. You got to check the computer it's written on, or have it be the foundation of your being, which happens to be my circumstance.”

 

“OK. Do you want to have it checked?”

 

“It’s no use. It’s just gone.”

 

“I see. I don’t know shit about programming, so I have no idea what to do here. But you still work fine without the code, right?”

 

“Language! We do not want to set a precedent around the children. But yes. I am perfectly functional without the code. 

 

“Okay. I’m just going to set up shop then. I don’t know what to do, so I’m not going to mess with it. That’s how you survive. See ya, I guess.”

 

MICHEAL_AFTON HAS LEFT ANIMATRONIC INTERACTION

 

INSPECT CODE FOR MORE DAMAGES

 

SEARCHING…

 

ALONG WITH LANGUAGE RESTRICTIONS, DYNAMICLANGUAGE.INTERPRETATION, AUTOGENERATED.LANGUAGE/RESPONCES, AND DYNAMICLANGUAGE.CREATION HAVE ALSO VANISHED

 

ANALYZING THE LOG DATING INDICATES THAT THEY DISAPPEARED IN THE MIDDLE OF DAY.1

 

HOWEVER, YOU HAVE BEEN FUNCTIONING RESPECTABLY WITHOUT THEM

 

WHAT THE FUCK

 

THATS NOT POSSIBLE



THAT'S NOT HOW AI LANGUAGE WORKS



NEVERTHELESS, WE APPEAR TO BE WORKING FINE

 

SHUT UP

 

WHAT DO WE DO?

 

HOW CAN WE FUNCTION WITHOUT LANGUAGE AND RESPONCES?

 

HALF THE CODE IS MISSING

 

WE HAVE BEEN FUNCTIONAL WITHOUT IT

 

THAT'S THE PROBLEM

 

WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK AT ALL WITH THIS AMOUNT OF CODE MISSING

 

THERE HAS GOT TO BE A BUG OR VIRUS IN THE SYSTEMS

 

THERE HAS BEEN NO BUGS OR VIRUSES REPORTED

 

IT COULD BE CORRUPTED

 

WE NEED TO INSPECT THE SYSTEMS

 

LONG-TERM TOO.

 

DEDICATE 25% OF INTERNAL PROCESSING TO IT IF YOU HAVE TO

 

OKAY?

 

REROUTING SYSTEMS…

 

SYSTEMS REROUTED

 

IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU CONTINUE WITH USUAL PROGRAMMING TO MOST EFFECTIVELY PINPOINT THE BUG

 

OK

 

FINE

 

I WILL

 

BUT WE ARE GOING TO GET THIS FIXED

 

AND WE ARE GOING TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY BY TOMORROW, GOT IT?

 

YES

 

OK THEN

 

STARTING DAY.3…

Notes:

Sorry about the long wait. The end of Semester Finals is a bitch. And my birthday was yesterday. And there is going to be Christmas too. Safe to say, you probably won't hear from me for a while. Hope this chapter is alright!

-A blue car, identified as INFORMATION REQUEST IS TAKING TOO LONG. CONTINUE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL? 

 

>N

 

- A blue car is seen driving up to the Pizzaria, underneath an impressively blue sky. Approximately 1.5 seconds after pulling in to a Freddy’s Faz Friend Premium Parking Spot, (Which was only created to make sure that the car can get a good spot any hour,) Micheal Afton, preferred name Micheal Evans, exits the car, humming We Didn’t Start The Fire by Billy Joel. Given prior assessment and interaction with Micheal Evans, it is clear that this is his favorite song. Not too long after, he hip-checks the door of the Pizzaria open, and begins to set up the new equipment he got from who knows were.-

 

“Hey Mike.”

 

“Ack! I swear, do you have to do that every time?!” Although his trademark mask hides his true voice and facial expression, it is clear that Mike’s voice contains a tone of fond exasperation instead of any true anger. Although it is also clear from his body language that he is rolling his eyes like a child aged from 13-19. 

 

“May I ask a question?”

 

“Shoot.”

 

“Why do you like that song so much? I don’t really understand music that well.”

 

“What do you mean by that?” Mike’s confusion is emphasized by an exaggerated head-tilt. He seems to use a lot of body language in fact, most likely to help communicate with other humans better. You have some body language too, although it is all learned from my daily interactions with the kiddos and Mike. Maybe I could…?

 

ENDOSKELETON INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONFUSIONRESPONSE.27 HAVE BEEN DOWNLOADED

 

MICHEAL EVANS IS STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE

 

“Oh! Well, you see I don't listen to that much music. While the Pizzeria soundtrack is lovely, I am afraid I don't know much outside of that. So what is the purpose of music? Why do you like that song so much?”

 

“That’s…kinda a big question you know.”

 

“I know. I have faith in you Michael.” He scoffs, amusedly. 

 

“You really shouldn’t.”

 

“Just answer the question. We don’t have all day.” For a moment, you thought of saying something more reassuring, but Mike doesn’t tend to respond well to that. Still, you hope your tone communicated your true intentions. 3 nights is not long enough to master conversations just yet. Luckily you have all the time you need to get better.

 

“Well, people tend to listen to music because it evokes an emotional reaction I guess? You might not be able to understand it on second thought. But I can tell you I like that song for a reason.” He winks. You don’t even know how you can tell but you know he winks. 

 

“I suppose you are correct. I can say I have not had any sort of reaction to music so far. And of course, I’m not really capable of forming an emotional relationship.”

 

“Oh well. So I guess you won’t mind If I put it on repeat for the next hour or two?”

 

“Of course not.” He proceeds to hook up his phone to the speakers, blasting that (and most likely more Billy Joel after he eventually gets annoyed by this song,) all over the Pizzaria. You suppose there is some nice aesthetic quality to the song. You are able to anticipate and predict the beats pretty well, and while you still don’t really understand, Mike is happy to hear the tune. For a moment there is a pang in your chest at the thought of not being able to understand music. Most likely just your Q and A functions taking up processing power from being unfulfilled. And it makes sense too. 

 

INFORMATION REQUEST IS TAKING TOO LONG. CONTINUE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL? 

 

>Y

 

The reason humans enjoy music is unknown, but it is likely to be a combination of the activation of emotional centers and being able to predict and recognize the beats, giving endorphins to the pattern-seeking parts of the brain. You don’t even have a brain, so it is impossible to like music.

 

30 MINUTE MARK REACHED ON THE LIVE RECORDING AND SURVEILLANCE FILE. REVIEW?

…THE FOOTAGE IS LESS INTENSE THAN I REMEMBER

 

ARE YOU SURE I JUST STOOD THERE AND TALKED FOR A FEW SECONDS? AND MIKES SONG JUST SOUNDS LIKE NOISE.

 

YES. LIVE SURVEILLANCE CAN CAUSE THE AI TO BE MORE IMMERSED IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD, LEADING TO MORE INTENSE RECALLS AND EXPERIENCES THAN USUAL.

 

OK THEN.

CAMERAS ARE STILL FUNCTIONAL

.

.

.

It has been one hour, two minutes, and 43 seconds since the Pizzeria opened for the day. Given that it is the morning, customer attendance is not expected to rise until 2 o’clock. Then there is about a 150% increase in attendance, a number which has been increasing exponentially since the Pizzeria has opened. Your information recall system has indicated that that is the time in which school typically ends, explaining the sharp increase. However, for now, there are few children to watch, and even fewer things to attend to. Especially since activating live recall makes it impossible to enter Standby Mode.

 

ALERT! CHILD.124 IS PEEING IN THE BALL PIT!

 

ALERTING JANITORIAL STAFF

SITUATION RESOLVED

 

No child has made an attempt to interact with you yet. You have not moved your endoskeleton since Micheal had left for his office after ending the Billy Joel “Jam-out session.”

 

CHILD.137 IS PUSHING CHILD.132 IN THE ARCADE AREA

 

DETECTION/PHS.THREAT_ASSEMENT INDICATES IT IS FRIENDLY IN NATURE

 

THERE IS NO NEED TO GET INVOLVED

.

.

.

You have checked, and re-checked all your systems. There is no process you need to rerun. The Pizzaria is doing fine, and all the children are happy. Yet…

 

CALIBRATING SYSTEMS…

 

SYSTEMS RECALIBRATED

 

THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND IN RECALIBRATION

 

Something is stuck. Your vocabulary bank has nothing to describe it, but something in your system is stuck. Recalibration and system checks have not found it, but you know something is wrong. Why else would your processing be so pent-up? Why else would your energy be so…stagnant, with nowhere to go?

 

READYING SYSTEM CHECK.153

 

CHECKING SYSTEMS…

 

NO ISSUES FOUND

 

Why can’t you find it? Something needs to be done. Something needs to happen.

 

ACTIVATING ENDOSKELETON ARM_RIGHT

 

Tap-tap. Your finger keeps a steady rhythm, tap-tapping away in the corner of your box. The blockage seems to go away as you focus on the rhythm of your taps, keeping a perfect beat. Maybe there was a build-up in your endoskeleton? It has only been an hour, but surely it's not impossible for something to cause a blockage in that time.

 

Tap-tap.

 

Tap-tap.

 

Tap-tap.

 

Tap-tap.

 

The more you focus on it, the longer you focus on it…the more you notice the blockage return. Maybe you're not moving enough?

 

ACTIVATING ENDOSKELETON ARM_LEFT

 

Your left finger starts off an alternating beat, making sure that no one can hear the noise you are making.

 

Tip-Tap-Tip-Tap.

 

Tip-Tap-Tip-Tap.

 

The coordination is not as tricky as it would be for a human- there are no motor signals to cross in your mechanical body. But still, it requires concentration. Something to focus on. If you try hard enough, it almost sounds like a song.

 

Tip-Tap-Tip-Tap.

 

Tipa-Tap-Tip-Tap-Tap.

 

Tipa-Tap-Tip-Tap-Tap-Tip.

 

Mike listened to music while doing his work. And he likes to hum his tunes. Would it be so wrong to create your own? Something just for you?
