Shrugg is a gang member of the Penny Dreadfuls, a child gang back in the late 1800's. They are all abandoned or orphans, working for the Professor, Dorthea Sprockett, and Bethesda Nightspoil, at their pawnshop. If they come "home" empty handed, they aren't given food or a place to sleep. When the Professor brings a new kid in, all havoc breaks loose.
Will they be able to hold it together, or is there greater evil at work here?

Or will they come back after he's already moved on? **This is the original version, I am currently working on rewriting the entire story**Complete
TPI FNAF AU: We Want Out
It's been over a week since the missing children's incident had happened at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, with no bodies to be found and charges yet to be pressed. Being an OG fan of Fredbear's Family Diner, Damon Kotowski takes it upon himself to do some amateur detective work of his own, offering to work as the nightshift security guard at the location as it continues renovations from the Fredbear's he once grew up with into it's uncertain future as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. However, Damon is about to find out he's bit off more than he can chew, not only getting dangerously close to the incidents' lead suspect over the next week, but also experiencing bizarre phenomena at night ranging from break-in attempts to moving objects and even a possessed plush toy... ...and it all ties back to a single, mysterious yellow bear. Something that's NOT the Fredbear Damon grew up with... Disclaimer: This is a fanfic modelled after the canon events of original 4 FNAF games, with every book and game released since then being grafted onto the main story rather than perfectly followed like today's lore. In an attempt to replicate the feel of officially canon FNAF media, I made sure this story emulated FNAF's edgy (but ultimately PG-13) cratings standard as much as possible, and only included the kinds of things that I'm convinced Scott would've personally approved of.). However, you can still expect the same level of violence, gore, death and disturbing subject matter like abuse and mental health as any other piece of Cawthon-approved FNAF media, so viewer discretion is still advised.
