Chapter 1 - [Hello?!]

Hey guys! This is in no way cannon to the lore at all lmao, it's just for fun!
Hope you enjoy😁!

Also side note-Catnap isn't Theo in this story.

All the smiling critters and bigger bodies were originally grown ups.

(At the labs)

Catnap woke up from a deep sleep.

He didnt know it yet but he had just woken up from a strong anaesthetic. His body wouldn't stop shivering causing it to ach.

Catnap: I am so.. Cold..What is happening? Hello? I can't move.

Lab technician:
"I think he is waking up.."

Catnap: Who? Who said that?
Ow my head! I have the worst headache, what is going on?

Catnap forced his eyes open, they felt dry and painful as if he hadn't slept in weeks.

Squinting through his blurry vision he looked up and saw was a man. He had a gas mask on and a white lab coat stained with.. red?

Catnap: He looks so scary..
What was he doing?
What am I doing here..?
Who even am I?!

Someone else appeared behind the scientist, a lady. She was also dressed in a freaky gas mask and the same lab coat.. At least hers was clean.

"Can you hear us?" She asked in a gentle tone.

It took a lot of energy but Catnap managed to nod his head.

Catnap: After a moment I registered what was going on.. Leather buckles pinning me to a cold, metal table.

"You can not speak, not yet anyway. Give it time and you will find your voice." She turned to hide something out of my sight.

Catnap: I tried to respond, opened my mouth but nothing came out. Just a stabbing pain in my throat, like it had been sliced by a thousand knives.

Lab technician: "It appears to have worked. His brain has reset. Rewired. He has forgotten. This is excellent news, wait until we tell the doctor it's been a success." The Scientist whispered.

Catnap didn't hear him, for better or worse.

Catnap: The room is spinning around me, all I want to do is to make it.. Stop spinning.. Someone help. Please..

The lab technician continued asking
questions.

Was Catnap aware where he was? No.

Did he know who he was? No.

Was he aware of what had happened to him? No.

He explained that he had jumped from a high hight and hit his head, bad. That's why he can't remember anything.

They had to perform life saving surgeries on him.

Lab technician:
"You had a concussion. Don't you worry though, we saved you.
Let me catch you up."

Catnap: It's hard to connect with someone hiding behind a gas mask. What was the gas mask even for? I know he's saying they saved me but something just doesn't feel right.

Catnap wanted out of this dreadful place.. But where would he go?
He had no where to go.

Catnap desperately tried to think. To remember who he was, what was he doing here? How did he even get here? His head pounded in his skull.

The man put his hand on Catnaps chin and tiled his head to up face him. It seemed like he was admiring him, like he was alien.

...

The eerie silence was finally broken.

"You are Catnap. One of the Smiling Critters. This is the Playtime Co factory. You will work in our onsite orphanage. Listen closely. Your job is to put the orphans to sleep when they aren't able too themselves. I repeat, you are to put the orphans to sleep. Understand?"

Even behind the gasmask his stare burned into Catnaps soul, hypnotising him.

Catnap nodded trying to follow his every word.

Catnap: I am Catnap..? I put the orphans to sleep.. Catnap? Orphans?

The man turned round to face a Playtime Co poster for the Playcare.

He cleared his throat catching Catnaps attention.

"You are a vital part of the Playcare and you must obey the rules. We will go through them thoroughly with you until you fully understand them."

Catnap watched nervously as he paced around the room.

"You will make sure the children are asleep at naptime and especially bedtime. You must ensure every child is asleep."

He turned to face Catnap, his eyes hidden behind the glass goggles. "Most importantly, you must not scare the children. This is integral to your very exsistance."

Catnap: Scare the children?
I wouldn't want to scare anyone, let alone a child.. What does he mean my exsistance?

Well, it didn't take long for Catnap to understand what he meant.
The man went into great detail.

Lab Technician: "You are a creation.
A toy. Not human like us. No..
You are very special."

Catnap: A toy?

The man continued to explain everything, well.. Mostly everything.

There are others like him, the Smiling Critters and Bigger bodies.

They also have their own job roles at the factory.

They were created to look after the orphans.

Lastly, if he didn't do as Playtime Co says, they would have no choice but to get rid of him.

For now Catnap is quite gullible.

He wanted desperately to trust these humans. After all, what else could he do?

The threat of being let go terrified him to the core. Where would he go?

They could easily manipulate him and they knew it.

Catnap had to accept his situation,
he had no choice.

The lady pushed the man aside and gently petted Catnap trying to comfort him. "Okay, that's enough. Poor guy must be exhausted. Let's get him to Playcare."

Lab tech: "Alright, you behave yourself. Do you hear? Don't make this harder then it has to be."

Catnaps body felt so heavy thay he couldn't fight back even if he needed too. He felt very vulnerable.

They lifted Catnap off the table and placed him into a metal cage.

Then they transported him onto the train to head to the playcare.

Catnaps pov:
Why have they put me in a cage like a deranged animal..? I hope they won't keep me locked up like this forever.
