'On the other side of the glass is Circus Baby's auditorium. Let's check the light and see what Baby is up to.'
> Presses keypad
The light button on the keypad doesn't work.
'Looks like a few of the lights are out, but we can fix that later. Let's encourage Baby to cheer up with a controlled shock.'
> Press keypad
Baby does not show up.
'Let's try another controlled shock.'
> Presses keypad
Again, Baby is nowhere to be seen.
'Great job, Circus Baby. We knew we could count on you! That concludes your duties for your first night on the job. We don't want you to leave overwhelmed; otherwise, you might not come back. Please leave using the vent behind you, and we'll see you again tomorrow.'
Now I was confused with the Handy-Unit. It said Baby was there...but she wasn't.
I needed to fix her, but was ordered out of the building. I had to wait.
Tomorrow is another day.
Night 2 -
'Daddy, you let the other children go see her, why won't you let me go?'
I went back the next day to try and sort out Baby and fix her properly this time. I was yet again greeted by Handy-Unit.
'Welcome back to another night of intellectual stimulation, pivotal career choices, and self-reflection on past mistakes. We're committed to creating a unique and fulfilling work experience. One part of that commitment is ensuring that you don't get tired of the voice that you're hearing right now. Using the keypad below, please select a new companion voice. For male, press 1. For female, press 2. For text only, press 3. For other options, press 4.'
There weren't any numbers on the keypad so I didn't know how to work the voice system. I actually would have preferred not to change the voice. I was fine with normal Handy-Unit. But nothing would continue until I pressed something so I pressed a random letter.
'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. Thank you for choosing Angsty Teen.'
Just what I needed.
The elevator stopped and the angsty teen began communicating to me...It was unnerving.
'The elevator's stopped. You know the routine. Get out now, or whatever. Stay here if you want.'
I didn't choose to mess with the electrics of Handy-Unit so just crawled into the main vent and got on with it.
'Alright, so, let's start with your nightly chores. You should check on Ballora, and make sure she's on her stage, but, whatever.'
> Presses keypad
'Huh. I guess Ballora has better things to do. Let's zap her! That should be fun.'
> Zaps
'Let's check on Funtime Foxy, make sure he's ready for showtime tomorrow.'
> Presses keypad, questioning why we didn't check on Ballora after the zap.
The teen's voice begins to malfunction a little. Foxy isn't on stage either.
'Great... Great... Great...'
'There seems to have been a problem with the voice synthesizer. Default settings have been restored. Please proceed through the vent ahead of you to Circus Baby's Auditorium.'
> Enters vent. Wondering why Handy-Unit didn't tell me to zap Foxy.
'Circus Baby had a busy day today. Let's check the light and make sure she's in proper working order.'
> Presses keypad
'Oh, Circus Baby! We aren't here to play hide and seek. Let's encourage Baby to come out of hiding with a controlled shock.'
> Shocks. Doesn't work.
'Let's try another controlled shock.'
> Shocks again. Doesn't work still.
'There seems to be a power malfunction that is affecting our ability to properly motivate Baby. Please stand by while I reboot the system. I will be offline momentarily during this process. Various other systems may be offline as well, such as security doors, vent locks, and oxygen. Commencing system restart.'
Everything turned off. I felt something creep behind me. It was her. The one I was looking for.
'I don't recognize you. You are new. I remember this... scenario, however. It's a strange thing to want to do, to come here. I'm curious what events would lead a person to want to spend their nights in a place like this, willingly. Maybe curiosity? Maybe ignorance. There is a space under the desk; someone before you crafted it into a hiding place, and it worked for him. I recommend that you hurry, though. You will be safe there. Just try not to make eye contact. It will be over soon. They will lose interest.'
I did as she said, crawling under the desk. I saw an eye peek through one of the holes left in the desk. They were trying to kill me.
I eventually fought them off somehow.
'When your guide comes back online, he is going to tell you that he was unsuccessful. That you must restart the system manually. He will then tell you to crawl through Ballora Gallery as fast as you can to reach the breaker room. If you follow his instructions, you will die. Ballora will not return to her stage anymore. She will catch you. The power will be restored shortly. When you crawl through Ballora Gallery, go slowly. She cannot see you, and can only listen for your movement. When you hear her music become louder, she is growing near. Listening for you. Wait and be still.'
She left. But I was happy I found her. I could put her back together.

General FictionBasically this is my take on the plot Scott Cawthon has generated the fans for the whole FNAF Series. I will be doing the games in timeline order, not the game order. Will add more if new games are released. I think my take is pretty accurate to how...
