Author's Note/Warning: This chapter contains mentions of gore, so if you aren't into that stuff, I'll put a warning on the moment that it happens so you can probably skip it. I'll put the start and the end moment in bold.

A few months into the business, and Joy Joy Land seemed like a success. Friendly animatronics, fun rides that kids seemed to enjoy. They even got an ad and everything.

It's still got that very old but pleasing aesthetic. And things seemed to be on the up side for Joy Joy Land.

However, it didn't take long before things took a turn for the worst.

A few weeks go by, and the animatronic mascots start to act strange.
Penny would greet the guests as per usual, but always give this weird stare to them, giving the guests in question an uncomfortable yet threatening feeling.

After Lucky takes the guests to go to the park, he'd always do a laugh. But this one didn't sound like his usual happy personality. It sounded sinister.

And as for Hangry, he'd always have the tendency to smell the guests

And as for Hangry, he'd always have the tendency to smell the guests. Specifically where the ribs would be in the skeleton. But a lot of the guests took that as a play on words because of his shirt.

But one day, he took one of the guests to a backroom of sorts. Once they were, they asked what Hangry needed.
He started sniffing the guest. After a bit, a wide grin came across his face. It didn't look like a normal smile... he had some other intentions in mind.
"Your ribs smell might delicious! Mind if I have a taste?" His tone sounded a lot more sinister.
He grabbed the guest by the collar as they started to panic. Now, Hangry is on the more heavier side. This means that he'd have a more stronger grip than all of the others. They tried to escape, but to no avail. They then start trying to scream for help, but he shuts them up quickly.

SLIGHT GORE MOMENT, I REPEAT, SLIGHT GORE MOMENT!

"I'M GONNA BE EATING GOOD TONIGHT!" Hangry screamed with twisted delight.
And in the blink of an eye, Hangry punched the poor guest through the stomach. The organs and blood spilled out onto the floor like candy in a piñata. However, Hangry didn't care for any of that. All he cared about were the ribs. As he took the skeleton ribs from the body sack, and was about to take a bite, he suddenly felt a large and painful shock.

Gore moment over
After a while, it was over, and he just stood still. He didn't look like himself anymore. Part of his jaw was melted off, due to the extreme heat of the shock, and one of his eyes fell out of his sockets.

2 of the employees have heard the cries for help, and rushed over to try and save them

2 of the employees have heard the cries for help, and rushed over to try and save them. But it was too late.
All they could do was just stare at the now dead body, and wonder what to do next...

But these twisted mascots had other plans...
