You wake up feeling refreshed and overall good, nothing aching too much or threatening to screw up the day immediately presenting itself.

(You)"I could get used to things being like this. If all I have to do is sit with one of them every night to keep them happy and keep getting paid, I'd take it."

You yawn and go about making some breakfast, looking out the window at the setting sun, smiling for a moment

(You)"I cant remember the last time I properly slept at night and was awake during the day. Wonder if my neighbors even realize I live here"

After you eat, you get dressed in a hoodie and some sweatpants, the night breeze just a bit cool against your skin as you start a jog

Your breathing begins to get difficult, you slow your pace to relax a bit as you pass a person reading a newspaper at the bus stop

'Prisoners released! Jail warden moves forward with accepting parole on numerous infamous criminals!'

You stop and look at the paper with a sinking feeling in your gut, something that just plain feels off that you can't place. You guess that the feeling is just how it feels to go running right after eating. Jogging back off you eventually round back to your apartment, heading inside to kill what little time was left before it was time to go and work. 

The time eventually comes after you take a shower and run a comb through your hair, rolling your neck back and forth to crack it in the humid bathroom air. Grabbing a uniform out of the dryer you spend a few moments just wiping at the wrinkles before getting everything around and heading out.

Getting to the convention you see that it's nearly pitch black inside, the darkness inside usually illuminated by a kitchen light or something like that. The sight is just odd enough to put you a bit on edge, but not enough to where you are truly nervous. You creak the door open and slip inside the building, keeping your ears and eyes open as best you can as your eyes adapt to the darkness. Suddenly everything goes bright and your eyes burn for a moment, the lights all having been turned on at once

(Everyone)"Surprise!"

They all yell, startling you even more as you finally get a chance to grasp the sight before you

All of the animatronics were standing in the central room, even Mairusu was sitting at one of the tables giving a small wave

(Mairusu)"They said they wanted to thank you. I talked them down to it just being a small party"

(Foxy)"Aye, a bit of a killjoy he be but alas"

She says, Mairusu putting his hands up 

(You)"Well this is quite nice of all of you. Really, I don't have the words to express my gratitude"

You say as everyone runs towards you and hugs you, way too hard at first but after a moment they loosen up and let you breathe a little. The sudden contact is a bit overwhelming, but you hold together pretty well as the hug eventually breaks away and everyone starts to disperse to various parts of the building, talking, eating, and drinking sodas-only Foxy complaining about the drink choice-as you go about socializing a little as well.

(Bonnie)"You know, I'm glad we didn't scare you off"

(You)"I can agree. Timings turned out...better than I was expecting with a first week like that"

(BB)"I've already had some pretty fun memories due to you, so I guess I gotta thank you for being such a dork sometimes"

(You)"Thanks? I think?"
