Work Text:
I don't think 4 hours of sleep is a good way to start your new job but I suppose it's something. The smart idea of having gone to bed earlier could have helped your day,,
You sit up as my alarm blares, seriously it cant be 6 already. you stretch and get up out of bed, maybe leaving the alarm going will help wake you up for this job. I mean freaky animatronics will wake you up I'm sure, you really hope you don't need to get too close.. trudging to the kitchen you make myself breakfast before going to get ready.
'Do i really need to wear purple, i don't even think I'm gonna be seeing many people cant i just wear my own shit' 'but seriously,,,, PURPLE?'
Eventually you stop moping around and get ready.
do you even know how to tie a tie? i don't think that's how its supposed to look...
Putting on your shoes you leave, locking the door behind you. Sluggishly making your way to the bus stop, hopefully the drive won't be that long but its not like you have any other choice...it took about 10 minutes for the bus to arrive but that's the least of your worries. Slipping on your headphones you sit out the rest of the journey debating if your partially joking application was a bad idea, but you do need a job and its not that far though the rumours can be quite misleading. Do you really want to work at a place with circus animatronics and mysteriously disappearing children? I doubt the pays that good now is it? With the bus coming to a stop your thoughts of abandoning the job disappear as you leave the bus, walking the front of a building not quite resembling a children's play or birthday centre, 'this seriously cant be where I'm fucking working' you mumble as the door creaks open. a simple note on the door of the next room welcomes you briefly before telling you where to go.
' a lift? there's no way I'm going underground for this shit.'
A ping rings through the room as the elevator doors open, it cant be that bad you think making your way inside. slowly you descend, it feels like hours you're standing there with that.....elevator music (I'm not pretending to be hand unit. he fucks me off so keep your exotic butters Michael you fat FUCK), can you even call it elevator music 'who puts casual bongos in a fucking ELEVATOR' you think as the minutes drag on finally the elevator comes to a stop you contemplate hitting the big red button before the doors slide open. 'A fucking vent. are you kidding me? this shit cant be safe' mumbling and moaning about the vent you crawl through as a.....voice? echoes around you telling you where you are (i forgor.)
Are you even flexible enough to fit through a vent? i mean how did Michael even fit if ykwim.....
Arriving into the main room you glance around taking a look at all the ugly ass figures, clowns clowns and clowns thats all their is 'this shits creepy as fuck I dont even known what I'm supposed to be doing' a vent creaks behind you before you turn around a hand is placed on your shoulder
"Maybe if you read the email you'd have known...."
'i didn't get an email about shit actually smartass...who are you?'
"well surely you'd have gotten an email you knew where to go didn't you?"
'i got a text telling me where to go. Who are you.....?'
"If you got a text you'd have an email you're not dense are you?"
The two of you bicker back n forth, and you still don't know his name. Clearly, he isnt going to tell you anytimes soon much to your dismay.
'Are you going to keep avoiding my question or actually tell me your name??'
"Maybe if you start doing what your'e going to be paid to do i might."
'Are you going to tell me how to do that then? Because you've clearly got enough of a life to have expeirience here.'
He describes each vent animatronic and job to you, where you'll need to go for what who youll need to see and what you might deal with, theres definately no way youd have applied to this job if youd knew how much stuff there actuslly was to do. But thats your fault and what you have to deal with now. Seriously who applies to the job without reading the full description?
'Thats....alot.'
"No shit, anyways have fun with baby! Shes the vent right infront of you"
'Wait. what-'
Before you can ask anymore questions he's already gone back through the vent he came from. You think for a moment, youre here now so theres no point going back, crawling through the vent you're greeted with a col, quiet dark room, earie as fuck. A voice starts up from somehwere telling you how to handle baby (i aint writing ts) before it cuts out then the lights.
'oh for fuck sake.'
"Stop being a baby the power just cut out i forgot to tell you this rooms cables are shit"
You scream. Where did he even come from?? Surely youd have heard him come through the vent he isnt exactly small hes a grown man....you turn around getting a look from mr mysterious before rubbing your hands down your face, you really regret this now.
"If you're that jumpy why'd you come work with animatronics?"
'Shut up. please.' He hums before opening a box on the wall and fixing the lights, the voice starts up again halfway through telling you the mechanics will be coming tomorrow to do maitinence needed on baby for her next birthday party. Reluctantly yo click the lights button to see if shes there, to no ones surprise she isn't
"Babys barely ever in here shes usually at parties or getting fixed, i dont know why they make us come in here to check when shes clearly never in here. Its a waste of time and energy"
'Why are you still here dont you have other jobs to do?' You scowl at him, the last thing you needed was him annoying you all the time i mean he fixed the power does he really neer to be here?
"Ive finnished all i have to do. You still dont know what else you need to do bevause you cant read emails so follow me...."
You tap youre foot impatiently waiting for him to leave the vent, theres not much room and you wouldnt wanna go in straight after him that'd mean stairing at his ass untill he got out. Not that youre opposed to that he isnt...terrible looking but now isnt the time nor place, plus hes annoying as fuck. Eventually you cant hear him in the vents anymore so you go though, eventually getting to the main room again the dust and dirt clinging to you as you try brush yourself off.
'You seriously do that all day almost all week?'
"Its not thst bad when you get used to it. Plus i just havent cleaned that vent in a while we dont need to go into babys room alot so i just leave it"
'So you let me be the rag to clean it? Thanks alot jackass.'
He laughs at you before mentioning theres no other work to do, there was mechanics coming to servis the animatronics but thats it he hasnt had another person to work with for a while so hes leaent to do it all, thats a plus he isnt incompitant atleast. You both talk for a while, still needing to wait for the mechanics and make sure they know where to go. Eventually they turn up meaning its finally time for you to go home. The two of you get in the elavator
'So are you finally gonna tell me youre name?'
"No but im sure this will help"
He gives you a small peice of paper before leaving maybe the two of you will get along and your lame acts of flirting might have worked, its his name and number.
'Micheal huh? didnt need to make it this difficult.'
You mumble before putting the paper in your pocket and leaving.
