Despair

Puppet

- Daniel

I sit alone in the office, the calmness and silence relaxing. After Sprocket came by, I begin to wonder if everyone truly acts like her...or they have their own quirks. Who knows? Certainly not me. Oh well...hopefully, I get to meet Bonnie or Foxy, and we can continue to talk...and get that video back from Bonnie.

I hear a faint sound, musical, but prerecorded. And by the sound, a wind up. From my previous mistake, I learned that cameras are a safer alternative in not getting jumped or surprised by anyone.

I think.

I check the cameras, searching for any nearby animetronics. No one was in the right hallway, nor the left. I check the closet in the right hallway, and nothing to be accounted for...

As a double check, I check the cameras all over again, the hallways, Pirate's Cove (Where Foxy and the white and pink lookalike were playing cards, then I got noticed by Foxy. Foxy waved while the lookalike hid from the camera view), and Main Stage (Bonnie messing with her guitar, playing a few recognizable riffs).

"You know if you pay that much attention into the cameras, then it isn't a surprise Springtrap got you." a voice said, surprising, and slightly worrying me.

I put down the tablet, and come face to face to a mask. It has visable thick tear lines coming from the eyes to the bottom of the mask, and red blush on the seemingly cheeks. She was floating, laying in mid-air.

"I apologize, didn't mean to ignore you. You did probably come in very quietly. I thought you were going to be like Sprocket, and just come in once I got out of the room."

She looked at me in surprise and curiosity.

"Who is Sprocket?"

"Springtrap. Just a nickname I made up. So that I remember some part of your name."

She laughed for a good while.

"That would make sense. My name is the Marionette, got a nickname for that?"

I thought for a long while. I then spoke in a soft british accent. "If I remember correctly, Marionette means puppet master. So...how about Poppet?"

"Poppet? Sounds good to me, but I am a puppet myself, not the master of puppets. Kind of you to think so."

"Thank you. I suppose you were the one I was supposed to meet in the first place, right?"

"You got that part right. But your 'Sprocket' got me into a dare, and like Johnny acted with the devil, I didn't stand down from the challenge. Too bad that I didn't meet you first...you are so kind, and not frightened at me."

"Well...after the inital shock of...Sprocket coming in and all kinds of things, you start to steel yourself against such things. If you came in first, I probably would have started to run, and something would happen."

"True. So good thing I lost right?"

"Right. Nice to meet you Poppet."

She then realized something important.

"Hey! I never asked what your name was."

I smile at the reminder.

"My name is Daniel, but you can make up a nickname for me."

"No, I like your name. Stay here longer, this is the first time Freddie has been wrong, and she is getting more furious at you still here."

I shiver from the tension of that last sentence.

"Yeah...don't remind me. Actually...how many others do I have to meet?"

"Everyone minus five." She replied with a smirk.

I gave a nervous laugh, then looked at the clock.

5:54

"Hey Poppet, time for me to leave, it is the end of my shift."

"Awww..I wanted more time. Bye Danny, see you sometime soon alright? It would be nice to see you before your shift started too~"

I blush at what she could be thinking. I then leave it be. I wave bye at Poppet as she floated out of the office, and I walk into the main stage area.

Bonnie, Freddie, and Chica were up on stage. Bonnie gave me 'Yay! You are still here!' look while Freddie gave me a look that I believe meant 'How the hell are you here?'

I smile at them, and wave goodbye. I walk out, to the sun rising above.
