Glitched Memories [FNAF AU | Story 1]

~+[ Chapter 4 | Late/The Replacement ]+~

Terence paced slightly back and forth in their office while checking the time. "Daniel's fucking late-" Terence said as they kept pacing.

Nate entered the room concerned a bit. "Terence, you alright?" He asked. "Oh I'm fine just a little ticked off Dad hasn't come back yet-" Terence replied in a harsh tone. "O-oh.." Nate replied while looking down a bit but then would look back up.

"Wh-well I just came in to check up on you to make sure you didn't pass out again like usual since I know you don't sleep..." Said he. "Oh, well thanks for checking up on me but I haven't passed out.." said he. "Well ok then..b-by the way...one of those weird circus animatronics you and dad found deep in the woods in an abandoned indoor stadium building moved sort of, I don't know all I know is that ringleader looking one moved their hand slightly..." Said Nate.

"Don't worry about it it's probably just old wiring..Those dumb things are as old, if not older, and somehow more advanced, than Dad's stupid Funtime animatronics he made...tho I'll check it out myself..." Said Terence as Nate sighed a bit.

"Alright then..I'll be in the break room i-if you need me since you know I don't like the Dayshift...nor the n-nightshift..." Said he. "Alright" Terence replied as he just gave Nate a small hug then left and walked away towards the Generator room.

Once Terence reached the Generator room he unlocked the door to the room and went inside as he looked around noticing how dark it was. He flipped a nearby switch making all the lights turn on even in the underground warehouse under below the Pizzeria.

"Alrighty let's see what's wrong with you...and how the hell you're more advanced-tech than my dad's Animatronics...these things already have their own personalities and self-aware AI chips and systems..." Terence said out loud mostly to himself as he walked over to a tall 7'8"ft ringleader animatronic that wore a red top hat, red and gold coat, and dark red pants with light faded lines on them making the pants have a sort of pinstripe design to them and then black boots and had a cane sword that seemed to fold up easily to become a whip by using the wire attached to the cane-sword that created slight volts of electricity than another mode so that it worked as a Microphone.

"Hm, interesting, your weird 3-in-1 operating Canesword microphone whip thing works fine...tho what's specifically wrong with you..." He quietly said as Terence noticed one of the animatronics' face plates was slightly open. "Hm?"

Terence opened the face plate a bit more surprised not to see any sort of springlocks inside of the suit. "Weird...but cool" said he while slightly smiling a bit and opening up the animatronics' face completely and just admiring all the wiring and all the mechanical parts just wondering how each one worked or what operated what in slight awe as the man noticed a tube inside of the animatronics mouth that went down there neck.

"The hell? Did someone honestly try and make these things be able to eat food?...hm wait no it's probably for those freaky sword tricks where they're able to eat the blade of the sword- also I honestly shouldn't judge since Chica exists- fat dumb bird-" Terence said as he closed up the animatronics face plates then opened up their chest-stomach plates curious a bit and noticed more Mechanical parts and some gears plus a built-in music box and a small compartment which was probably to put their cane sword away considering it's able to be easily folded up into a Microphone to place inside the small compartment.

"I think imma have to just steal that little Idea right there since ClawStar needs a place to put her notepad and pen beside her mouth or in the break room.." said he as Terence then took out the music box and looked at it in awe a small bit and clicked a small button on the side as a small little circus-like melody played before then shortly after ending since it was only a small portion of the music played as Terence put the music box back in place while then continuing to check the wiring only to find nothing wrong other than a huge open hole like the area around there chest that looked like something was meant to be placed there.
