Chapter 5

Josh looked through the cameras, flicking back and forth between every single one. The phone rang suddenly, and he nearly dropped the tablet. He caught it with his tail, his fur bristling and goosebumps appearing on his arms. He picked up the phone, growling a little. He didn't like being startled.

"Uh, hello? Hello, hello? Uh, hello and welcome to your new summer job at the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Uh, I'm here to talk you through some of the things you can expect to see during your first week here and to help you get started down this new and exciting career path." The voice on the phone said. Josh snorted, rolling his eyes.

"I was doing fine till you called, moron.." Josh muttered.

"Uh, now, I want you to forget anything you may have heard about the old location, you know. Uh, some people still have a somewhat negative impression of the company." I've heard nothing about any 'old locations'. Wonder what happened... Josh thought curiously. 

"Uh... that old restaurant was kind of left to rot for quite a while, but I want to reassure you, Fazbear Entertainment is committed to family fun and above all, safety." Left to rot. Tch. Why put a good restaurant to waste? I get the feeling he's hiding something.. Josh looked at the camera again. Nobody was moving yet. The voice startled him again, and he nearly slammed the tablet on the desk. He hissed furiously, muttering under his breath. 

"They've spent a small fortune on these new animatronics, uh, facial recognition, advanced mobility, they even let them walk around during the day. Isn't that neat? clears throat But most importantly, they're all tied into some kind of criminal database, so they can detect a predator a mile away. Heck, we should be paying them to guard you." Josh shook his head, smirking slightly at what the phone guy said. GUARD the nightguard? Yea...there would be a lot of major issues if they had done that.

"Uh, now that being said, no new system's without its... kinks. Uh... you're only the second guard to work at that location. Uh, the first guy finished his week, but complained about... conditions. Uh, we switched him over to the day shift, so hey, lucky you, right? Uh mainly he expressed concern that certain characters seemed to move around at night, and even attempted to get into his office. Now, from what we know, that should be impossible." G-getting into the office?! Josh's tail fur fluffed up at the thought. If they did get in by chance, what would they do to him? Would the facial recognition feature save his pelt? Or would something bad happen? AND WOULD THIS IDIOT START EVERY SENTENCE WITH 'UH'?!

"Uh, that restaurant should be the safest place on earth. So while our engineers don't really have an explanation for this, the working theory is that... the robots were never given a proper "night mode". So when it gets quiet, they think they're in the wrong room, so then they go try to find where the people are, and in this case, that's your office." His tail lashed, and the neko was beginning to be afraid. This sounded worse than he had thought.

"So our temporary solution is this: there's a music box over by the Prize Counter, and it's rigged to be wound up remotely. So just, every once in awhile, switch over to the Prize Counter video feed and wind it up for a few seconds. It doesn't seem to affect all of the animatronics, but it does affect... one of them." ONE OF THEM?! ONLY ONE? AND HOW MANY ANIMATRONICS WERE WAITING TO JUST BURST INTO HIS OFFICE WHILE HE WAS ON THE JOB? MORE THAN ONE?! 5? A HUNDRED?!

"clears throat Uh, and as for the rest of them, we have an even easier solution. You see, there may be a minor glitch in the system, something about robots seeing you as an endoskeleton without his costume on, and wanting to stuff you in a suit, so hey, we've given you an empty Freddy Fazbear head, problem solved! You can put it on anytime, and leave it on for as long as you want. Eventually anything that wandered in, will wander back out." Animatronic head? THAT WOULDN'T HELP AT ALL! This is just disastrous.. He looked under the desk, seeing the head immediately. He pulled it out and sniffed it. It smelled of blood... Josh shuddered at the thought of having to put it on. But if it was a life or death situation, he would.

"Uh, something else worth mentioning is kind of the modern design of the building. You may have noticed there are no doors for you to close, heh. But hey, you have a light! And even though your flashlight can run out of power, the building cannot. So, don't worry about the place going dark. Well, I think that's it. Uh, you should be golden. Uh, check the lights, put on the Freddy head if you need to, uh, keep the music box wound up, piece of cake. Have a good night, and I'll talk to you tomorrow." Josh shook his head, facedesking after hanging the phone up. This was scaring him... Then, he remembered to check the cameras. He lifted his head, grabbing the tablet and looking at the stage camera. He flipped to the camera with the music box, seeing it begin to wind down. He shuddered, holding his paw down on the 'wind box' button until the meter was full again. He flipped back to the stage. Toy Chica was gone. He shuddered, looking through all the cameras until he found her in the main hall. Josh swallowed nervously, ready to reach for the Freddy head. He stole a glance at the stage again, seeing Toy Bonnie gone as well. He whimpered, hurriedly looking through the cameras. Toy Bonnie was in Party Room 3, and Freddy was still on stage. He began to sweat due to how nervous he was. Josh looked at the clock. 2:15. I wonder if i'll be dying...wonder what would happen if i quit...or if i left too early... Josh thought in his head. He stood up, winding up the music box before he did so. He opened his mouth to yawn, but a static noise stopped him. His ears immediately were flat against his head as he felt someone breathing down his neck. Josh didn't dare turn, he was too afraid to even breathe. Before he knew what was happening, he was grabbed around his waist and swung upside down, then flipped around. There, holding him was a white and pink fox. At least...he thought it was a fox. It looked so...demented that he guessed it was a fox from the head. He thrashed, trying to escape. The static noise was indeed coming from the fox creature. Josh realized he still had the camera in his paws. He could use it...

"LET ME GO!" He screeched, hitting the fox's head with the camera. It shattered instantly, and Josh was dropped facefirst. As soon as he hit the ground, he rolled to his paws and ran down the hall on all fours, his tail streaming behind him. Josh glanced back, seeing the fox creature following him from above. This can't be good.
