You head on down to the "superstar daycare" with much trouble from your directionally incompetent self.
With much avail, you make it thanks to the help of the complicated map provided by the pestering map bot.
Only to find out that it was LITERALLY next to your Glamrock Gifts giftshop workstation.
And I was pretty obvious too. How did you miss this? Was the obvious "superstar daycare pick-up" colourful sign and colourful arrows pointing down the corridor not obvious?

You have 20 minutes left 'till your shift starts.
You pace down the corridor. Two characters in particular were painted and illuminated on the hard brick wall.
One seemed to be a "sun" thing and the other a "moon".
So there's two of them. That finally answers your question.

You stumble across a duffle bag. Really, you should be reporting this to Lost & Found but your curiosity gets the better of you. What can you say? You're nozy.

Inside was a note. A customer complaint that reads:
"My son never had sleeping problems. But after spending an evening in the daycare, he refuses to sleep with the lights out anymore! He just cries and cries. And when I do let him keep the lights on, he just wets the bed!"

How weird. Why was this in a duffel bag and why was this just sitting here in the middle of this corridor?

As you continue, the place gets more crowded with parents and you arrive at a large open waiting room.

The over-room looked over the daycare with parents gathered around tables.
A 4 meter tall gold-like statue of both daycare attendants centred the room, illuminated.

You approach the fencing and netting that gave you a better view of the daycare.
This seemed to be the pick-up and drop off area.
At the counter there stood a staff bot and you approach it.
"Drop off's for the superstar daycare are available from 9am to 11am. Pick ups are available any time" it stated.
"To pick up your child, you must provide ID. Any child left behind will be handed to authorities and a surcharge will be applied I addition to the daycare fee"
Well, that was harsh. It continued,
"Booking of the daycare must be done prior to dropping off your child" you get bored and start walking way looking for a way in to the daycare before your shift starts.
"Fazbear entertainment is not responsible for..."
Hold up. What did this bot just say?did it just say that Fazbear entertainment wasn't responsible for child engagement?!
Upon approaching the bot again,
"Drop off's at the daycare are available from..."
Yeah you weren't about to listen to this again.
Moving on to look for the daycare entrance, there didn't seem to be one. There was a colourful tube slide with a sign above saying "slide into fun". There were a lot of parents around you staring so it might be a little weird that an employee wanted to use the child's slide.
You don't get to meet the daycare attendants. Disappointing.

You head back to clock in. The shift started in 5 minutes anyway. Better luck next time.

. . .

Your shift starts at 3pm and ends at 9pm before closing. By this time, most people are leaving through your shift and a few stop by for the gift shop.

The Glamrocks Gifts giftshop was pretty cool. There were 2 floors and they both had square pillars of stripped neon pink. The interior had the same neon shiny retro arcade aesthetic as the rest of the building.
Neon stars and glamrock logos lit up the walls and the shelves were standard plushies, mugs, stickers, magnets, shirts a other merchandise.

You had a staff bot helper manning the register for you while you stock up the shelves when it gets quiet. You decided to name it Bobby since you had nothing better to do than to get attached to some staff bot.

"Well Bobby, I gotta go unbox that over there and restock the chica shirts. Let me know if anyone comes in 'kay?" Bobby stares at you blankly. That was probably a stare of approval.

So you've also started talking to the staff bots. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes it gets a little lonely in the gift shop. Bobby has your back, at least, that's what you'd like to think.

. . .

It's about 8pm and you've cleaned the same counters about 4 times and reshuffled the other in alphabetical order and colour coded them.
Some may say you're a little bored.
'1 more hour to go' you remind yourself.

"Shifts going a little slow huh?"
You were startled beyond belief and turn to see Vanessa standing by the shop door.
"There's one more box in the storage closet. Probably has more shirts in it or something. You can finish that off and clock off early" she looks off seeming distant. She seems... distracted.

"I can go early?" You try to confirm.

"Yes I need you out early today. You know what? I just need you to go ASAP. Just leave the box near the counter and clock out. I already have a headache. I'll see you tomorrow." Her distracted demeanour quickly shifted into a hurried tone and she left.

Ok, one more box and you're free to go. You head to the storage closet across from the 2nd floor giftshop exit door.

The lights flicker when you switch it on, but then goes out. Great.

But at least you think you saw the box on second shelf. It was a little out of your reach so you grab the stepladder and ensure its sturdy before using it. Saftey is important and you need to take extra measures since fazbear entertainment won't insure you (crying internally).

You take the first step up and grab the box.
There was a sharp click and the box shifts in your arms. Did... something up there move the box?

In a dark blazed blur, you saw something large.

CLICK!

Falling.

CRASH!

Blur.

Blackout.
