TW: death, gore/blood, minor swearing

————————————

You were three hours into your shift, and so far, working the day shift has been a nightmare.

Kids jumping on the stage, throwing stuff on the animatronics, going into pirates cove, and you actually saw two 10 year olds nearly get in a fist fight, but obviously you had to stop them, no matter how entertaining it would've been.

Dave, the guy who works day shift with you, you have noticed is strangely familiar, but you couldn't quite pin down from where you have seen his face from. You also picked up on his mood. His form was always slouched, bags under his eyes and always grouchy when speaking to you, or just anyone. You didn't blame him though, small kids had that effect on you too.

You tried introducing yourself earlier. It was a bit..odd.

A few hours earlier...

Scott had left about 15 minutes ago, and you had done jack-all so far. You had quite little patience and was getting a bit bored already.

Your eyes locked onto Dave. He had the exact demeanour as you; leant against the wall with arms crossed, scowling at every kid that wanders by. Except he was on the other side of the room,

Maybe I should introduce myself, you thought.

You nodded once to yourself, before lifting yourself up off the wall and heading towards him.

He didn't even notice your presence as you stopped at the side of him, until you said "Hey there"

He turned his head over to you and your smiling face. His frown never faltered once as he looked you up and down. You opened your mouth to speak, though he did before you could. "You the new recruit?"

You paused, a little taken aback by his bluntness. "Uh, yeah" you nodded. "I'm Y/N"

He scoffed, before looking away from you. You frowned at him; you weren't gonna take his sass when you were trying to be nice. "You scoffing for?" you snapped. You weren't afraid to be a bitch if you had to.

He quirked a brow as he looked over at you, not expecting that reaction. "Sorry..just who would wanna work at this place? With its reputation and all" he looked away from you again.

You softened a bit, mentally accepting his apology even if it wasn't genuine. You sighed "Yeah, true...it was either this, or I get evicted"

There was a moment of silence as he processed your words.

"Wait" he said suddenly. "What did you say your name was again?" he locked eyes with you.

You blinked. "Y/N"

"Last name?"

"L/N..?" you quirked a brow.

He paused, processing your words. "Oh"

"Why? What's up?" you questioned, now intrigued.

He seemed to hesitate before he spoke again. "Were you..involved in that accident in '85?"

Now, you weren't expecting that.

Your breath seemed to hitch in your throat; that was the first time somebody had ever asked you that.

"Uh...yeah"

"Oh" he ever so slightly widened his eyes. "Shit, sorry"

You forced a small smile, waving him off. "It's whatever"
