Five Nights In Anime: Reborn - Crimson Mystery

The Start

-Emerald's Home-

It was a solid evening in [REDACTED], [REDACTED]. The weather looked lovely but was slowly darkening up by the clouds. Those clouds in fact were also beginning to grow much more darker. That leads to one possible thing: Rain. Those small water droplets were a perfect part towards the end of the day, especially if all it did was provide an ambiance by hitting a window. It was basically one of Emerald's ways of meditation.

Emerald enjoyed the rain as much as anybody and was currently sitting on his bed, reading a newspaper that his father just so happened to get him. What could that reason be, though? Well, he had to get a new job because he got himself and Adonis fired after getting caught stealing. Emerald felt sorry for getting both himself and Adonis fired and just thinking about it made him sigh all the more. Nevertheless, there was another person in his room as well. It was Adonis, who was on his phone looking at other places around the area, but to no avail. There was just nothing of interest on his phone, as he used his thumb to power off his cellular device before looking up at Emerald, looking very bored.

"You find anything yet, bro?" Adonis said to Emerald as he would lean back into the chair a little more awaiting Emerald's response.

Emerald would lick his index finger to easily flip the page, only for his eyes to widen. He would then take his focus on reading something. "Hmm..." Emerald looked up at Adonis before looking back down at the newspaper. "Frederika's Anime Convention... You ever heard of that place, Adonis?" Emerald asked, before getting a head shake from Adonis. Emerald would only raise an eyebrow before looking back down at the hiring page of the newspaper. 

"Well, it seems here that this place is... Relatively interesting. It's in [REDACTED], which is basically in the middle of nowhere." Emerald said, before adding on. "It's actually very close by. A 5-minute drive towards the place couldn't hurt, either! After all, we'd be saving some money on gas." 

Adonis would shake his head in disbelief, before crossing his arms. "You... Do realize that you have a car, and I don't, right? That means you drive and I don't." Adonis said before Emerald sighed, feeling like an idiot for a minute there. "Whoops, I'm sorry. I guess I got too carried away." Emerald let out a chuckle before getting back to the reading. "It says here that Frederika's Anime Convention is hiring 2 security guards and the pay is about $300 a week." He says, before looking at the phone number. "I think we should call the number on this newspaper right now," Emerald said while taking his right hand towards his pocket to grab the cellular device of his own before he turns his phone on and gets straight to the number pad.

"Hmm... You wouldn't think that they would answer at this time of day, right? I mean, it's only 6:30 PM." Adonis said, getting up on his feet only to jump onto Emerald's bed and look over towards the newspaper. Emerald would give off a shrug as he dialed up the number. Before hitting the "call" button, he says "Well, there's only one way to find out. It's not too late yet." Emerald would then hit the "call" button and awaits for a pickup on the receiving end.

 -Frederika's Anime Convention-

Sitting in a wheelie chair in the office room is Emily. She's been with the company for about a year now, and she was getting a little impatient with nothing to do. All she hears in the background is the songs of Frederika's band and a bunch of families chatting and enjoying their time. She was dozing out for a minute before some sort of weird ringer was entering her ear. She would slap herself awake before she realizes that it's the phone on her desk. Being a little annoyed, she would take a deep breath before exhaling it all out. She then reaches over for the phone and picks it up, holding it right on her ear.
