---------------------------------------------------------

The chattering ambiance of children screaming and cheering loudly was deafened behind the tough glass and closed curtains as the royal animatronic heard the door shut close behind him. He let out a nonexistent sigh as he sat down on his lounge.

Today was a rough day, to say the least. He had a bad start-up and apparently, there was a tiny bug going on that couldn't be fixed before the shows started. Now he kept seeing an annoying icon of low battery flickering in the right-down corner. The dangerous thing about it was that he now couldn't see whether his battery actually was down to a low level or if it was just the bug pestering him. He could power down at any moment which could cause great problems for the pizzeria. Because it did not look exactly child friendly when his eyes go dark and he just stands there.

Yet, Prince John knew how many hours he could last before needing a recharge. Recharging only took around 30 minutes so that wasn't such a big deal if he had to go during an attraction. There were enough other animatronics who could fill in for him, like Marian or Richard.

He could last at least three hours maximum before needing to find a recharge station. Two hours went by for sure, so he decided to recharge before his croquet attraction came to a starting point. He was on duty to stick around the kids and keep an eye out for trouble. Perhaps even sign an autograph or two if the kids were that eager.

Although he was a simple animatronic, those needed breaks too. Especially after that play with Robin that took longer than usual due to a fight breaking out between four kids who were arguing about which one of the two animatronics is better. It caused a scene and other kids started to join in too. At least two employees had to come between the two rival groups to ease it down.

The animatronic silicone frown was replaced with a smirk as he looked at the papers in his hand; fan mail. He loved opening those. He knew he was a favorite. The best even! He went through a few and sorted the drawing and letters apart from each other to look at them when he had more time.

Now he had to recharge fast before that one annoying employee came into his room to snap at him to hurry up. Way to treat your money-makers.

He never understood why he got the most despicable ones to work under him. They would snap at him like he was their dog and call him hateful names just to piss him off and hurry up with preparing.

After throwing the now sorted paper stacks on his desk, he made his way backstage where his own personal recharge was. Only his form and charging points could fit in there and he didn't mind it one bit.

Prince John saw the door of the cylinder slide shut before shifting his status to recharge mode, making him almost black out fully, his eyes going dark.

A humming sound from the machine was heard as the plexes music was heard in the distance. It actually was quite relaxing without all those screams and chattering of all the customers around him.

Suddenly, through all the humming noise, an itching flickering sound was heard inside his endo skull. He felt his eyes twitch as the bugged recharging icon finally disappeared. That wasn't the problem though as his hand began to tweak and curl at the twitchiness.

Prince John's eyes wandered around the capsule as random numbers in red went by without leaving a second for him to register what exactly the codes said. The glitching stopped and so did the twitching. He didn't dare to move in case it would cause another glitch attack.
