((LONGEST CHAPTER IN THE WORLD. BE WARNED.))

"You know that what I'm about to do breaks almost every law of interdimensional travel..." Twitch said, looking at the battered laptop on the desk.

"And what is it that you're about to do?" Scott asked curiously.

"Show you guys your future, and also how I know about you, and how your world appears to us in our dimension," Twitch said. Telling everybody that they were nothing but video game characters probably would have made them flip the flip out, so Twtich chose her words very carefully. "In our dimension, your lives are documented in the form of, uh, video games. Four of them. Based mostly on the animatronics and... well, one of you. You'll see who when we play it. The others appear only as side characters..."

The room was silent as the guards took that in.

"So... somebody got our lives, and turned them into a video game...?" Mike asked.

Twitch bit her lip nervously. "Uhm, something like that..."

"And now we're going to play that game?" Scott asked. "So cool! I wonder what it's like. And how I'm in it. I'd be so interested to see how they represented us."

Twitch coughed. "Well, we're going to play one of the games. Set... well it's 1987 now... and the game is... probably set in 2023... so a fair way into the future."

"Well, at least we know we're all still alive in 2023. Right?" Fritz put in.

"Heh," Twitch grinned sheepishly. "Let's just play the game, shall we?" She picked up the laptop and opened Steam.

"Five Nights at Freddy's?" Mike asked. "That's what they named a game about our lives?"

"More specifically, it's about working the nightshift. As you all know, surviving the nightshift for a week is no easy task." Twitch opened up Five Nights at Freddy's 3.

Springtrap appeared on the screen, twitching violently.

"Alright, who wants to play?" Twitch asked.

"Ooh, can I?" Scott asked.

Twitch moved out of the seat and Scott sat down. The others crowded around, and the game began.

"Fazbear's Fright, the horror attraction? Based on the 'unsolved mysteries' of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria?" Mike asked. "What mysteries? And how are we a horror attraction?"

Vincent, standing behind Scott, tightened his grip on the chair Scott was sitting in, but said nothing.

The first night, as always, was uneventful. It was the minigame, naturally, that caught everybody's attention.

"Woah... we can play as the animatronics?" Scott led Freddy down a corridor.

F O L L O W M E. Purple Freddy appeared in the corner.

Scott frowned slightly, "What's that?" He pressed a key and the little 8-bit avatar followed after the shadow. When it got to the safe room, the ERR came up in big red letters. "Well... I guess I'll just go back to the stage..." The little Freddy started walking off when suddenly there was a loud noise and a purple avatar ran out, dismantling Freddy.

There was only one person who it could have possibly been.

Everybody turned to stare at Vincent.

Vincent looked straight ahead blankly, not saying anything.

Night Two began.

Phone Dude's voice played out of the computer's speakers. "...i-it's in there somewhere, I'm-I'm sure you'll see it. Okay, I'll leave you with some of this great audio that I found! Talk to you later, man!" "

"Uh, hello! Hello, hello!"
