Welcome to Popgoes!

Night 2

When the daytime passed once more, Strings felt himself wake up...in the chair once again.

"What?! You gotta be kidding me!!!" Strings exclaimed, once again trying to free himself.

Was he gonna be trapped there? Forever? For all of time?

Strings felt himself begin to panic, and it was only rising. He screamed and tried to use the skills he learned yesterday night, and looked out the window.

At the night sky, the stars, and some kind of crow animatronic standing outside-

Strings' eye widened and he began to panic again. "What is an animatronic doing out there!?! No, no, no, no- Wait...wait! I remember! He can't move!"

He then scratched his head. "Why...why do I have a feeling that he can't move?"

He looked at the animatronic crow outside, waiting for him to move...but after nearly 10 minutes, he didn't move a muscle.

Strings sighed in relief before turning to the stage. All three were still there...but looking at him.

Strings took many deep breaths, despite having no lungs. "Can't...panic! I can't...PANIC!"

He then grabbed the phone at his desk again. "J-Just listen to the call! Yeah! Listen to the call!"

Strings took a deep breath before placing his finger on the phone, starting the message his creator left for him.

Was Fritz even aware that Popgoes was trying to build...something? And why did Fritz build him to...panic?

It wasn't nice and certainly didn't feel nice either. But just then, snapping Strings out of his thoughts, Fritz's message began to speak.

"Right! Hello again! I hope the first night went well. But what am I saying? Your job is just pressing buttons on a phone. Not many jobs require that, y'know. But don't be slacking off on that phone, alright? I'm watching, and I always am-

That sounds really creepy. Sorry bout that, I tend to ramble on and on. But just, focus on your job. Don't start slacking off. At the end of your first week, I'll be reviewing your progress to see if your fit to continue your job or not. If you do your job ESPECIALLY well? Then, I might even give you a bonus! Ah, but I guess there, uhh, actually isn't much for you to do, huh? I know I haven't actually given you much work to do, since this is more of a test run."

"A test run?" Strings asked before looking behind him...and then gasping when he saw Popgoes was missing.

He grabbed the phone and began tapping through the cameras until he found Popgoes at one of the 3D Printers.

And in a flash, he pressed the 'ROOM SHUT-DOWN', turning the room dark as Fritz continued speaking.

"But! There is something for you to do if you get bored. And, well, I'm not gonna treat you like I do the robots behind you. So! We're entering the Winter. Beautiful, isn't it? How the snow just falls from the sky.

Winter does get real cold though. I dunno if you noticed this yesterday, but I've also given you access to the ventilation, which means you should be able to turn on the heating grid. Just once in a while to warm up the place.

They'll stay up for about a minute, but that's enough time to get warm, right?

Bear in mind, the vents go around the building's perimeter- Ah, you'll figure it out. Good luck, kid."

And then, like yesterday, the three questions appeared.

Why can't I keep the heating on the ventilation?
