Kat and the Attendant

Captain's Final Show

Fiddling with the outfit, Kathrine panicked and huffed, her hands both smoothing down the ratty blouse while continuing to tear as the trousers. An outfit she had specially pieced together to match the animatronic she worked closely with.

Captain Foxy.
An animatronic that was introduced when Fazbear Entertaunment had been rebranded to try and cover old incidents, and since then, Fans have screamed and raved over the pirate
...
Even if his lineage had issues as well...

And that's what the problem was...
Many of the Foxy animatronic variants had caused damage, but not her captain. It wasn't fair. It wasn't-

"Lass? Ye ready fer-" the animatronic paused, looking over to his handler that was nearly in tears, "Oh- lass no-" with careful intention, Foxy manovered clover, cupping her face with his paw, wiping a tear from her face, "Ye have no need Fer the water works-"

"I know..." The animatronic purred, "but every show has tah end lass..."

The two had worked together for three years, while technically illegal, Kathrine had watched this Foxy be put together. She walked him around and trained him herself for fun. He refused to work with anyone else. And what? We're you going to say no to one of the owner's kids?

Foxy had watched the frail 13 year old, still adjusting to her prosthetic leg, and grow from shy and afraid, to with a 16 year old with a fire, a spirit, rage behind mechanical eyes that matched the show animatronics on the stage.

Kathrine took a deep breath, shaking her head of the depressing emotions. She new after the show she'd be with the Captain till she was ready, her dad had already given her the okay to stay the night with him, and it wasn't like they didn't have sleep overs on the weekend.

"Okay!" She smiled to him.

"Thars that bright and shinin' grin!" He playfully pinched her cheek, earning a giggle from the teen.

"Let's go!" His first mate threw her hands into the air before rushing past him, still giggling. With a launch, he followed her but kept a slightly slower pace to keep from overtaking her.

The performance was a finale. Every past animatronic that had seen that stage was allowed a monologue and a farewell to the captain.

From Marine the Security cat, or Captain Marine, head of the Navy. To the Jesters, Dawn, Dust, and Eclipse, including Montgomery Gator, who would give the Captain and Kathrine a hiding place from Marine.

When the show ended, Kathrine sat at the edge of the stage, watching the pathetically small crowd leave the theater hall. Slowly, Monty's handler walked over, sitting next to her.

"So, where you off to now?" She asked, looking to Kathrine.

Monty's handler, Vanessa, just from her words alone, sent a shot of warmth through the younger handler, "Oh- ah- I'm gonna spend the night with Foxy then... after he gets-" she paused, her words choking for a moment, "I'll go meet Bonnie in the morning..."

"Look at you~" Vanessa gently punched her arm, laughing softly, "You really are the Super Star Handler!"

"Hehe~ yeah~" Kathrine purred as she rubbed the spot Vanessa punched.

Vanessa hummed, leaning closer, "What do you say I get the other Handlers to agree to staying the night too?"
The smile Vanessa had was infectious. It sent a shock of warmth through the younger Handler who happily nodded, "y-Yeah! Sure!"

Vanessa laughed softly, getting up before walling over to the other handlers. Kathrine paid no mind as they whispered and muttered, knowing all too well that most wouldn't agree to staying the night...

Though Foxy, the Jesters, even Marine and Monty joined Kathrine on the edge of the stage. For some reason, this felt safer than the Handlers, like these massive works of specially designed wires and gears wouldn't insult her behind their backs.

Vanessa walked back over with Lilith, Marine's handler, Cyana, Dusk's handler, and Jason, Dawn's handler.
Kathrine looked up, "Ceyan and Monica tap put?"
"No actually, they went off to go get snacks and stuff set up for us!" Vanessa chimed.

Kathrine gained a wide smile as she launched herself up, turning to the other handlers, "REALLY!" the sudden boom of her voice caught Monty off guard, knocking the minor mainstage animatronic off the stage.

The other animatronics turned, laughing and snickering as Monty got back up, grumbling to himself as he brushed his hair back, "Jeez Mon Cher, you don' use tha kind' voice u'less stage runin-"

"Sorry-" Kathrine turned to him, surprised by her own voice.

Once by one, the animatronics got off the stage, Kathrine hopped down as well, only to stagger before Foxy caught her.
"Land with yer left leg lass, ya won't lose balance that way-" he chuckled as she stood.

"Okay, captain!" She smiled to him.

Holding Foxy's hook as she led him down the hall, the two pirates softly their shanties, from time to time the other theater animatronics would chime in, offering their voices to their songs. The Handlers, on the other hand didn't give much to the song, only really joining in to help with the chorus, but otherwise, they spoke amongst themselves.

Once the group made it to the group made it to RockStar row, Foxy found himself swarmed by the Glamrocks themselves, Freddy and Bonnie were the first two over, though Chica quickly rushed in, trapping Foxy in a hug.

"WE'RE GONNA MISS YOU!" She cried into the Fox's hair, hugging him tightly.

"Ya got nothin ta worry 'bout lass-" he hugged her back, careful to not nick her with his hook, "Aye'm sure my replacement'll be a fan favorite fer sure-"

"BUT SHE ISNT YOU!!" Chica wailed, keeping herself close to the Captain.

Freddy sighed before looking to Kathrine, "Are you holding up alright, Superstar?" He gently pat her head.

"I'm alright, Freddy, just-" she looked to Foxy, "I'll be okay-" she smiled up to him.

"You're strong, but you don't have to hide everything..." Freddy spoke with caution that confused Kathrine, but she couldn't ask about it before she was poked in the side.

"Hm-" before she could turn, Bonnie picked her up, placing her on his shoulder.

"And how's my future Roadie doing!?" Bonnie chimed, making sure she didn't fall.

Kathrine gasped, holding onto Bonnie, "I'm okay!" Her sound of panic caused Foxy to perk up, looking around for his first mate before he saw her...

"Why ye taller than me!" he huffed, looking up at her.

"Not my choice captain-"

Letting out a chuckle, Foxy looked to Bonnie, "Alright now Lad, ye can put her down-"

Humming, Bonnie took a tighter hold of Kathrine, "Nah- don't think i-"

Before Bonnie could finish his sentence, Eclipse carefully took Kathrine from Bonnie's shoulder.

"Now friends, we shouldn't fight over the lovely little star, she's afraid of heights, you know," he carefully placed her down, making sure she was stable on her feet before letting go.

"Thank you, Eclipse-" Kathrine bowed her head to the tall animatronic, though she knew he was designed to be that way, Eclipse, while always kind and considerate, careful and aware of its size, always intimidated her. His job as giving warning of certain doom for Foxy and herself while on stage never helped.

Dawn bounced in place, ribbons swirled around him as he did so before he bound over, "Ohhh- I love sleep overs!"

"Yeah- this'll be fun!" Monty chimed in, happily reciprocating Dawn's excitement.

While the animatronics joked and laughed, gathering bedding to bring to the main atrium, Kathrine watched, fidgeting with her clothes. This was the last night with Foxy...
