**11:50 A.M**
I'm here. I was given a key yesterday, I forgot to mention. I unlock and open the door. An old friend is with me. Kastro. My pet dog. I figured I'd bring him with since I'd be here all night without any entertainment. We settle in the office. I sit in my chair and kick my legs up on the desk. Kastro lays underneath my legs, resting.
**12:00 A.M**
My shift has just begun. It's quiet. I feel like I'm gonna fall asleep. I've never worked during the night before. I start to doze off. The phone rings, snapping me out of my sleep. I answer. "Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you.I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?
Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life.4 Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced."

Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about.4 Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too.8 So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay.

So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?

Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh.

Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night". "What"? I began to think. "What could he be talking about"? I was confused. How could the animatronics stuff me in a suit? How could they have that force? I put my legs down on the floor, moving Kastro. I sit up in my chair, staring at the camera feed. I see no strange activity. Until I looked at pirates cove. The curtain was halfway open. Whatever animatronic was in there, was staring into the camera. I got out of my seat, with my hands pressed on the desk, studying the thing. I switched the camera feed, viewing the stage where the rest of the animatronics stood. They were all present. "Hm". I thought to myself. I didn't notice the curtain open when I walked in. But maybe it was. Oh well.
**5 Hours Later**
My shift ends in 5 minutes. I must be paranoid. I could've sworn I heard foot steps. I pull up the camera feed and go to the stage. But the screen was all fuzzy for some reason. "Gosh, broken already"? *alarm goes off.* I close the camera feed. My shift is over. I collect my dog and things and close up the place. "Gee, can't wait to come back tomorrow". I said sarcastically. I lock the main door and was on my way home.
