You look at your computer, see the rooms, and them... You quickly change the camera to an empty room.

Suddenly, you hear a phone ringing. You answer and you hear someone on the other line, he begins to speak.

"Uh, hello? Hello, hello? Uh, hello and welcome to your new 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,"

Oh god here we go

while the phone guy was talking you were checking the cameras, no movement...yet

" 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. 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. 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?" He cleares his 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,"

That reassures you a bit, not fully, a little bit.

I wouldn't let them guard me, never. Ever.

He continued "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"

Great, just BRILLIANT

"Uh, we switched him over to the day shift, so hey, lucky you, right?"

Yea totally, LUCKY ME HOW LUCKY AM I

You began to panic, something had moved.

"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. Uh, that restaurant should be the safest place on earth."

You panic even more. Oh no, ALSO YEAH So SAFE

"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"."

Strange

"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. 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."

Oh, You change to the prize counter and wind up the music box, just in time.

"So just, every once in a while, 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"

He clears his throat again

" 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 exoskeleton 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 look down and see it, you place it over your head. It's hard to breathe. You quickly take it off and check the cameras.

Oh no, you see that the bunny, you think he is called Bonnie, has moved.

"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. 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."

No doors.

"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."

Good, I dislike the dark.

"Well, I think that's it. Uh, you should be golden. Uh, check the cameras, put on the Freddy head if you need to, uh, keep the music box wound up, a piece of cake. Have a good night, and I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Now I'm alone, You keep checking the cameras, then close it...NO... Bonnie was infrount of you. You put the mask on and hold the light out, shaking, trying not to drop it.
