"Say hello to the Faz-mobile!"
Though Charlie tried to sound loud and grandiose, her relaxed posture and the disinterest in her face ruined the effect.
It was strange. When Mike first arrived, his boss seemed a little eager to show him something job-related in the garage. It may have been a gesture to keep him from being in the dark however... There was the pressing fact didn't even know the building had a garage, so that was already something new he learned about his job.
"'Faz-mobile'?" Mike stared at vehicle in front of them.
It was a simple white van with the girls painted on the sides; not at all deserving of such a cartoony name.
"I didn't come up with the name..."
Charlie shrugged then dug into her jacket pocket. She pulled out small stack of cards and read aloud, "'The Faz-mobile is the company's precious go to for transit. If you ordered the gang for a party, all you need to do is look out for this vehicle and you know the once-in-a-lifetime fun is about to begin.'"
Mike simply stared at his boss. He didn't really know if he should comment or not.
Charlie nonchalantly tossed the first card over her shoulder and cleared her throat. "'To schedule an appearance at your party, be sure to call insert number here and our local manager will be there to answer your interested call.'"
Mike scratched the back of his head as Charlie moved on to the next card. "'Please be aware that the ordering all the girls at once is an extremely rare opportunity. We need to keep at least one to entertain the children that come here on a daily basis.'"
She tossed that card over her shoulder and held up the final card. "'Remember to smile, you are the face of Fazbear Inc.' Oh wait, that one's for me."
"You?"
"Naturally, I have to be the one to drive the girls around, lest we have rumors of animatronics talking after show time again."
"I see..."
"So, anyway, this is the company vehicle."
"You say the others can be rented?"
"For parties, events and anime conventions that aren't held here. But the reason I'm showing you it is just so you know it's here. If anything comes up and you need and the girls need to make a Hollywood escape... Here you are."
Mike turned his attention back to the van.
Faz-mobile...
"Anywhoo..." Charlie pulled a pair of shades out of her pocket and put them on. "I'm going to go home, watch the Terminator and go sleep."
Mike watched his boss walk out of the garage while whistling the main medley to said movie. Once she was gone, he turned back to the van.
Faz-mobile...
...
Mike walked through the halls of the establishment until one of the doors open. Mangle stepped through and the two instantly met eyes.
"Oh. Hi, Night Guard." The white fox slowly waved at Mike.
Though she still seemed a bit timid before him, she also seemed more relaxed. Thinking back on what Chica told him the night before, Mike could see why she was instinctively designated the "baby of the bunch".
Just by looking in her eyes he could see an innocence that some would instinctively want to protect. Recalling their first meeting, it was for that very reason that he calmed down when he was scared out of his mind on his first night.
