You, the leading researcher and scientist at Playtime Co., known as the "Genius" behind the Bigger Bodies Initiative and the go-to expert for any experiment or scientific challenge.
You're the only one capable of communicating with Experiment 1006 and outsmarting it. But the truth is, money and career mean nothing without family. Something happens, and you're ready to take time off for a funeral, to grieve. But Ludwig won't let you. The company is on the brink of a breakthrough that could change everything.
Most stories tell the tale of the player as just another employee, but what if you knew all the experiments because you were the one that turned them into what they are?
This is the moment you make a choice.

The Doctor's Assistant ( Dr. Harley Sawyer x Reader)
Y/N L/N was an employee of Playtime Co. she is known for her kind heart and compassionate nature, Y/N had a deep love for helping orphans, which led to her assignment as the clinic nurse at Playcare. However, her position didn't remain stable for long. She was unexpectedly transferred to a different facility-one shrouded in secrecy. The moment she set foot inside, an unsettling sense of familiarity washed over her. Standing before her was a figure from her past. . . . . Harley Sawyer. . . . . . "You're trembling," he murmured, his lips barely grazing my skin. "Tell me, my nurse... is it fear, or something else?" I swallowed hard, my hands pressing against his chest, but he didn't let me go. His grip was firm yet controlled, like a predator toying with its prey. "Doctor, let go," I said, though my voice wavered, lacking the authority I wanted it to have. He chuckled, the sound dark and velvety, laced with something unreadable. "Why would I?" he whispered, his fingers tracing slow, deliberate patterns along my back. "You think I'd just let you walk away right now?" I stiffened at his words. There was something possessive in his tone, something that made my pulse quicken in both fear and something far more dangerous. . . . . In this book I may or may not able to put a proper timeline of the Poppy Playtime but as the story progress to the gameplay. To note here Dr. Harley and Y/n may have met before when the were in college but different course. Also, in this book Elliot Ludwig had fired Sawyer before and this would be the first time that they met and work together. Also I headcannon Dr. Harley Sawyers age around early 30's and Y/n in late 20's I don't own Poppy Playtime and the characters.

angels here to save [DOGDAY X GN READER]
Dogday x GN reader you were a worker, specifically you watched the orphans meaning you didn't have much insight as to what happened within the walls of your workplace. after getting a job oppurtunity you leave your job luckily before the "hour of joy" takes place (you dont know this had happened). seeing that your old workplace had been abandoned you check it out once more maybe you'll find something? whatever you were hoping for in this journy it isn't what you had expected. ----- story will start with chapter 3 opening!! past chapters had already been events in the story. dogday was also a worker before being turned into a toy (an event you didnt know about also) to help out with kids. you remeber him and the other Smilying Critters when they came to help with children.(this is how you'll remeber dogday). ----- Dogday is an adult in this book as for the theories he was once an employee and for his voice in the game being one of an adult male: IF later on in the PPT franchise its revealed dogday is indeed a child i will take this book down and NEVER mention it again. I do not want to be apart of any minor x adult bull so...yea. player saves dogday and continues a journy with a new ally.

smiling and nightmare anomalies
(please overlook my shitty scribbling I'm just bad at drawing. Also I'm very bad at scheduling so if its a long time between posts sorry) It all started when the SCP foundation found evidence of Playtime co's experiments on orphan children, Epsilon 11 was sent the factory was raided and all knowing about the bigger bodies initiative were disposed of and all living toys were contained . For the tiny smiling critters and the tiny nightmare critters this felt like a cruel joke played by God himself they thought they were finally being saved only to be thrown in another damn prison trying its best to pretend its not a prison (I do not own Poppy playtime or any SCP portiade in this)
Alex worked as a repairman for playtime co but after slowly piecing the orphans dissaparing and the new bigger body's coming in he left playtime co and quit but he got something from playtime co 10 years later he gets a letter saying that the employees are still there and decided to go a see what has happened to the employees but also to rebuild playtime co as the corporation he thought it was before he found out its secrets also warnings will be in the parts they are in
