Ol' Big Ears

Day 2x3 - Take A Deep Breath, Just Think

You really needed to get back to work. Finding Freddy and sorting this out would just have to wait. Knowing the plex he could be all over still looking for you. If he finds you then you'll deal with him. You shrug and head back to the parts and services area.

The trip back is uneventful. There was no sign of Freddy or any of the main animatronics. The manager was still MIA as well. You didn't have a way out. That was the least of your concerns however. The issue of 'Moon' was still out there. He said he was "filling in for the manager" and that the "manager was out for the moment". It occurs to you that it could mean he was just sleeping or busy elsewhere but you had no idea what Moon was capable of. You also knew nothing about this Moon. Best just avoid him for now, you think.

There was also the matter of your watch which you left in the corridor. You decided to leave it there and go for it later. One of the janitor bots probably picked it up you think. Either that or Freddy got it. It was the least of your concerns now. It's not like it had much of a use anyways. The manager was MIA.

You return to parts and services and unlock the door. The room had been untouched since you last were in here. With a lock and a chair blocking the door you secure the room and get back to work.

"Now, where was I?" You ponder aloud. You take a seat and slump in your chair. Sitting next to Bonnie and begin working away at the wires. Your stunt from earlier messed up a bit of the circuitry. But not any worse than it already was. You get to untangling, replacing and fixing the wires and gears. You get lost in your work as time passes, a newfound fervor taking over.

Upstairs Freddy was in his room waiting for Moon. Had he not found the guard? Maybe he found him but didn't tell? Maybe Moon is in on it? Moon always was the mysterious one. Maybe he made Bonnie disappear? Freddy's thoughts swirled in his head. He had so many questions but nobody to answer them. He was calmer now but anxiety had just replaced his desperation and rage.

He had been sitting on his couch hunched over thinking about all the possible scenarios and events that transpired over the past night. His mind was looping as he already spent the day thinking constantly about the bow and past memories with Bonnie. It even affected his performance. He was a wreck and he knew it. He let out a deep sigh.

It helped relax his servos.

He knew he couldn't just stay here. Moon wasn't coming and he felt it. Taking his fazwatch and yours he left his room. There was one place he wanted to visit.

He half considered asking his bandmates for help but Chica was nowhere to be found, Roxanne was busy styling her hair and Monty hated to be bothered at this time of the night. They wouldn't understand anyways. They had already all pretty much given up on consoling him. This was something he, himself needed to face.

The only person he knew he would be able to help him was...Gregory. Of course, he thought. Gregory was always good at finding things and getting into unusual places. Freddy couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it sooner. He quietly cursed himself for not being able to think straight.

Freddy's eyes flicked briefly. He refreshed himself, the animatronic equivalent of splashing cold water on his face. He figured he would spend the rest of the night looking and then tomorrow finally get some answers. Before he did that there was one place he needed to stop at.

The janitor bots had finished cleaning up the plex leaving a dimly lit empty mall in their wake. As if on autopilot Freddy walked from his room to the bowling alley. He had some thinking to do.

He took a seat on the stage, looking out at the scene in front of him. Videos of playing shows here played back in his mind. Memories of him hanging out and playing bowling flashed through his head. He sighed.
