Pure gulps nervously, having trouble winding the heavy handle on the music box. It's already dragged her across the floor a couple times and the phone probably hasn't even picked up yet.

And her assumption was correct, the phone was just beginning to ring as the boys watched her worryingly. Well, except for Mark, who was unable to see the camera, since Anthony was taller and Felix was the same height.

"Ah...hello, hello! Uh, see, I told you your first night wouldn't be a problem. You're a natural! Uh, by now I'm sure you've noticed the older models sitting in the back room. Uh, those are from the previous location. We just use them for parts now. The idea at first was to repair them...uh, they even started retrofitting them with some of the newer technology, but they were just so ugly, you know? The smell...uh, so the company decided to go in a whole new direction and make them super kid-friendly. Uh, those older ones shouldn't be able to walk around, but if they do, the whole Freddy head trick shoud work on them too, so, whatever."

Fe shder she thought of the old animatronics, looking at their broken down images through the camera. Anthony tried comforting his friend, a little creeper out himself.

"Uh...heh...I love those old characters. Did you ever see Foxy the pirate? Oh wait, hold on...oh yeah, Foxy. Uh, hey listen, that one was always a bit twitchy, uh...I'm not sure the Freddy head trick will work on Foxy, uh. If for some reason he activates during the night and you see him standing at the far end of the hall, just flash your light at him from time to time. Those older models would always get disoriented with bright lights. It would cause a system restart, or something. Uh, come to think of it, you might want to try that on any room where something undesirable might be. It might hold them in place for a few seconds. That glitch might be in some of the newer models too."

Chilled gasped suddenly, quickly looking through all the drawers of the desk. "We didn't give Pure a flashlight or a mask!" He whispered, looking at the flashlight he dug out, holding her mask in his hands.

"I'll bring them to her." Mark said from where he was leaning against the wall, his voice deep and sinister. "You guys obviously have your hands full with the camera and vents." Felix quickly checked down the hall for Foxy, then sighed.

​ Chilled and Pewds shared a look, then Chilled handed the items to Mark. "Just be careful....and stop looking at us in suck a creepy way!"

"One more thing - don't forget the music box. I'll be honest, I never liked that puppet thing. It was always...thinking, and it can go anywhere...I don't think a Freddy mask will fool it, so just don't forget the music box. Anyway, I'm sure it won't be a problem. Uh, have a good night, and talk to you tomorrow."

A wide smile stretched across Mark's lips, making Chilled rethink his decision to let Mark go. "Don't worry, Pure won't be able to see my face unless I get close anyway..." With a last chuckle, he made his way towards the prize room.
