'There's no doubting what you've achieved on a technical level. These are clearly state-of-the-art. There are just certain... "design choices" that were made for these robots that we don't fully understand. We were hoping that you could shed some light on those.'

'She can dance. She can sing. She's equipped with a built-in helium tank, inflating balloons right at her fingertips. She can take song requests. She can even dispense ice cream.'

'With all due respect, those were the design choices we were curious about, Mr. Afton.'


'Daddy, why won't you let me play with them?' 

I remember visiting the Sister Location long ago with my sister. I was always aloud to run around and play with the animatronics there. My sister was 'too young' to do so according to our father. She never truly understood the real reason why she couldn't play with them. 

I decided to work at the Sister Location to Fredbear's diner because it was way more appealing to the family. I wanted to keep the place running for as long as I could in honour of them. 

Stepping into the elevator, I was greeted by Handy-Unit!

'Welcome to the first day of your exciting new career! Whether you were approached at a job fair, read our ad in Screws, bolts, and hairpins, or if this is the result of a dare, we welcome you. I will be your personal guide to help you get started. I'm a model 5 of the Handyman's Robotics and Unit Repair System. But, you can call me "Handy-Unit". Your new career promises challenge, intrigue, and endless janitorial opportunities. Please enter your name as seen above the keypad. This cannot be changed later, so, please be careful.'

It was fairly difficult to type my name into the keypad as it moved around a lot. So I just wrote my name on a sticky note and stuck it to the keypad. It made it look better. 

'It seems that you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type, and I will autocorrect it for you. One moment. Welcome...Eggs Benedict!'  

What a name for it to give me on my first day. Seems like I have a lot of work to do.

'You can now open the elevator using that bright, red, and obvious button. Let's get to work!'

This handy-unit did have an odd sense of humour, but at least it was company. I saw only a vent ahead of me so decided to go through that way. It felt a little off putting...

'Allow me to fill this somewhat frightening silence with some lighthearted banter. Due to the massive success, and, even more so, the unfortunate closing of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, it was clear that the stage was set (no pun intended) for another contender in children's entertainment. Unlike most entertainment venues, our robotic entertainers are rented out for private parties during the day, and it's your job to get the robots back in proper working order before the following morning.

So I knew exactly what I had to do now. But I was only here for one of them, however, it was best to just get the others out of the way first. I entered the control module.

'You are now in the primary Control Module; it's actually a crawlspace between the two front showrooms. Now, let's get started with your daily tasks. View the window to your left. This is the Ballora Gallery: Party Room and Dance Studio, encouraging kids to get fit and enjoy pizza! Let's turn on the light and see if Ballora is onstage. Press the blue button on the elevated keypad to your left.'   

> Presses keypad.

'Uh oh! It looks like Ballora doesn't feel like dancing. Let's give her some motivation. Press the red button now to administer a controlled shock. Maybe that will put the spring back in her step.'

At first I felt off about this whole 'shocking' technique. I began to question the company as well as my safety, but I administered the shock anyway, wanting to do my job and progress.

'Let's check the light again.'

> Presses keypad

'Excellent. Ballora's feeling like her old self again and will be ready to perform again tomorrow. Now, view the window to your right. This is the funtime auditorium where Funtime Foxy encourages kids to play and share. Try the light! Let's see what Funtime Foxy is up to.'

> Presses keypad again

'Looks like Funtime Foxy is taking the day off. Let's motivate Funtime Foxy with a controlled shock.'

>Shocks Funtime Foxy

She doesn't appear.

'Let's try another controlled shock.'

> Press keypad

She finally appears onstage.

'Looks like Funtime Foxy is in perfect working order. Great job! In front of you is another vent shaft. Crawl through it to reach the Circus Gallery Control Module.'

Finally, the main event.
