daycare.

god knows what got into you when you applied for this job at freddy's pizzaplex, but now you're stuck with it. you're a starving college student desperate for money, so you'll take what you can get.

the first 3 days you spent in training, which was pretty cool, as getting paid to sit and watch explanatory videos was incredibly easy. the rest of your first week you sold drinks because the regular part-timer took vacation. this was extremely odd as you were supposed to be the caretaker of the daycare, but clearly fazbear entertainment valued profit over the safety of young unattended children.

since this establishment was fairly new, its not like growing up with animatronics was your thing. frankly, they were kinda creepy sometimes. the way chica roamed around on her own, occasionally asking for pizza as if she were alive, scared you a tad. you got used to it, though, because this was how you were going to earn a living from now on.

day 8 was your first day in the position you originally designed. walking into the daycare at 6 a.m. was a little more ominous than you anticipated, and holy shit was it huge. you thought to yourself, what kind of toddlers need all of this god damn space?

getting yourself back on track, you quickly look around and find your seat. it over looks the ball pit, like a lifeguard for a sea of whiny toddlers and plastic spheres. there's also a megaphone and a whistle that you're almost positive will be getting more use than your cellphone.

you take another quick glance at everything, figuring you'll learn the place on the job, before getting into your seat. it seems like none of the animatronics ever come into this part of the complex, which is a relief.

7 o'clock rolls around, and just as expected, little kids start piling in. it's as if they're there every day, because they simply ignore your presence and go straight to whatever messy, noisy activity they want.

fortunately, in the first two hours of kids being present, you only had to blow your whistle a few times! it seems this job will be a lot easier than you anticipated.

maybe if you had actually paid attention to those videos you were shown in training, you wouldve been prepared for the animatronic diving into the pit in front of you. being unfocused, this completely startled you, and also made you think.

what a safety hazard!

luckily the kids were already prepared for his appearance, all of them standing off to the side of the pit or sitting at tables. you're not sure how you didn't notice the giant ledge for the lanky animatronic to jump off of, but you wish you had.

this was by far the weirdest animatronic the place had. they were quite tall, maybe even taller than freddy, and thin. they had long arms with four fingers on each hand and some striped balloon pants that just made them look... silly.

after entertaining the kids with a foolish introduction and a 30 minute crafting session full of glitter glue and finger paint, they made their way over to you.

"hi there, new friend!" they exclaimed, sticking their hand into your personal space for a handshake. "you're here to watch the kiddos with me, right?! i've been waiting for you!! its so much fun here, i'm sure you'll love-love-love it!"

you stare at them with a little bit of awe in your eyes and your mouth slightly open. why is this thing so self aware?

"ummm, yea. i'm the new daycare worker." you state blankly, quickly shaking their hand.

"oh that's great!! what's your name? and your favorite color? and- ooh! do you like glitter glue? i love glitter glue. what about finger painting? oh yeah, i'm sun by the way! the daycare attendant!"

you groaned softly, irritated with the bubbly programming of this character. it seemed like their smile somehow fell a little bit when you did, but it was surely your imagination, as animatronics don't have feelings.

"i'm y/n. nice to meet you i guess." you tried to muster a quick smile out of guilt, even though you probably didnt need to.

"and one last thing! the main rule of the daycare is don't turn off the lights!"
