#I translate my stuff mostly with DeepL and using dict.cc to countercheck single words. But yeah there can still be some hickups and stuff.

Part 1 Briefing
Tumblr media
"Keep going. Haven't got all day." It's been like this since you arrived. It's your first day at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaplex. When you spotted the job offer as a security guard on the internet, you didn't hesitate long and sent off an application. Even though you didn't know at the time if it was going to work out. But here you are now, running after your co-worker - who has been a bit grumpy since the beginning and briefly introduced himself as Jeff to you - and receiving a briefing from him, which he seems very reluctant to give. "There are two things you absolutely must remember," he tells you. "Never lose your name tag. Always carry it with you while you're in the building. That thing has a chip with your employee ID. The animatronics and bots have facial recognition, but with that thing, they'll recognize you as an employee even from a good distance away, and they'll leave you alone when you're making your rounds at night." "Okay, got it." Somehow he sounded constantly exasperated. You force yourself to smile and nod politely in order not to upset your future co-worker even more. And yet, his expression only turns grimmer.
"The second thing is this," he reaches for something in his jacket pocket and shoves it into your hand as you both continue to walk through the aisles. It looks like a black tablet. Curious, you hit the power button and the screen comes to life. But what is displayed there isn't too impressive. Just four options are shown to you on the screen, two of those options are just for locking and unlocking the remaining functions. Currently, the remaining symbols are unlocked. "The bell lets you set off silent alarms within the facility. During the day, if there's trouble, a couple of the security bots will come rolling in. Not that the blockheads are any help. Better not rely too much on them. At night, it will also notify the security program. You can just let them do the rest of the work." "That freak," you hear your Jeff mutter under his breath before he continues. "So assess the situation. Sound the alarm if necessary, and in an absolute emergency, call the police on one of the phones. Got it so far?" "Uh. Yes. Yes! Got it. Although… I do have one more question. What's the other symbol for? This… lightning bolt?" At least it looks like the typical symbol that usually warns you about electricity. "Hah! That thing is linked to the nighttime security program. If for some reason it doesn't respond to the alarm or otherwise gives you trouble, just give it a controlled shock with this." Pardon? A shock? Baffled, you stare at your co-worker before asking in utter confusion, "You want me to… shock the system?" that sounded… not like something you should do with technical equipment. Your colleague, however, just waves it off. As if your concerns are just annoying flies he has to deal with. "Not the system itself. When talking about the security program, it means one of the animatronics. From the daycare. The one that looks like a moon. You know." You didn't. You didn't read anything about a moon shaped animatronic on the website. You only know the four band members of the Pizzaplex, who each had their own little profile on the official website. So… the extra guard is an animatronic that resembles a moon? Well that just adds more concerns to your mind about this bizarre function. It feels like you're being told to shock one of your co-workers and not worry about the consequences. Not a good feeling. Jeff is probably just exaggerating… So far, you haven't heard him say a good word about anyone or anything. You want to give him the tablet back, but he just waves you off. "I was supposed to hand it to you anyway. It's my last day in this madhouse here." That surprises you. Somehow you thought you'd run into each other more often. Now to hear that you're basically his replacement for the job is kind of a weird feeling. No wonder he's so disinterested and allows himself a few pointed remarks. "Oh, okay." Guess you will keep it then. Well, at least you won't have to bother with getting along with him by hook or crook. You take a deep breath and lock the functions on the pad first, if only to avoid the risk of a false alarm or an accidental shock, before turning it off and putting it away.
You continue your walk around the facility. Jeff barely pauses. Now that you know he's quitting today, you can already guess that he just wants to get this whole thing over with quickly, and you're not too mad at him for that, either. If you finish earlier, you can at least take a look at the places that seemed interesting to you. Eventually, you end up with him standing inside one of the employee break rooms. It's a pretty small room. An old sofa. A table, three chairs, a few metal lockers that already look a bit battered and scratched. Nothing particularly exciting. Jeff is already digging out his bag from one of the lockers and looks like he's ready to leave any second. "Understood everything so far?" "Oh. Yeah. Yeah I guess," you reply hastily and it seems to be the answer he wants to hear from you. "And… thanks again for the tour and the advice." "Just following my orders," he merely grumbles, giving you a look like he's feeling sorry for you for some reason. "Hope you've got good nerves. Gonna need them here." You don't bother to ask what he is referring to, because he's already out the door and you don't feel like chasing after him. So you just shout a little goodbye after him. It's probably nothing after all. Your eyes wander to the clock on the wall and realize that it can't possibly be three o'clock, which is why you look at your phone instead. It's half an hour before closing time. During the week, the Pizzaplex was only open until 21:30. So slowly the last visitors were surely on their way to the main entrance to leave the building, before in half an hour the doors and shutters were closed automatically. That should give you some more time to look through the documents you got at the beginning. Various safety regulations. Locations of fire extinguishers in the different areas of the complex, where to find the emergency exits, what to do in case of a fire, the usual stuff that new employees are given to read through.
By now it's half past nine and you decide to make your first official round. Even if it makes you a little nervous that you will be on your own. After all, it's the first time you've taken a job as a security guard. … everything will be fine! Think positively! There's not that much that can go wrong! The complex is already pretty well secured with all the technical equipment. Most things run automatically here. In the worst case, there might be a teenager or child wandering around somewhere, trying to hide here for fun. "Wouldn't be surprised if that happened more often at a place like this," you mutter to yourself with a smile. Because hey, what kid wouldn't dream of hanging out with their idols for a night? And that is what the Glamrocks are to the kids, who come here with their parents to just see them. The thought makes you smile a little. Speaking of the Glamrocks… maybe you'll run into your non-human colleagues on your walk and finally get a chance to properly introduce yourself to them! Earlier with Jeff, you only saw some of them when passing by. But the band members had been completely surrounded by their cute, little fans and you had moved past them so quickly that you hadn't even been able to wave to them a hello. By now with a little more confidence, you fish out the map you received with the rest of the documents and leave the break room with it to set off on your big, exciting expedition! Without any nagging, bad vibes or rushing. You grin a little, because you are now somehow looking forward to being allowed to roam around here without worrying about what some grouchy co-worker thinks of you. "So let's see where to go first."

So that's it for the introduction. In part 2 Y/N will meet Sun! I have the part already written down and translated. Just have to reread the translated text once more and put tags on it. Guess I will tag story parts and sketches for this security au with: never forgotten.
Not sure if it will be a full on going story or not. But I want to give my ideas some space in whatever way works best. Be it sketches with short or longer explanations or these story parts (with or without sketches). We will see.
