#The Daycare's Janitor

The Daycare's Janitor | Part 61 | Finale

We have come to the end of this story.

What a crazy and long ride this has been. What started as a small idea blossomed into this story. I never thought that I would be doing my own comic, but the experience is irreplaceable.

Thank you all for all the support, love, and understanding. Thank you for sticking around.

I will see you all in a wordless epilogue!

(Do not repost, steal, sell, or trace!)

Previous | Epilogue

[tmuse-ac]

oh my goodness.

I originally took on this project as an appreciation project for the end of the comic, but then I thought I could turn it into a christmas/new years gift for, @salty-rey !!!

I loved this comic so much and originally found it on Tiktok (I believe the first one I saw was the singing one with the nose nuzzles at the end. I fell in love with the style and Rudi and had to find more!) when I had it but then it just wouldn't let me log in one day. I was slightly sad because I knew that many of those artists didn't have Tumblr so I couldn't see their stories, but I didn't bother to make a new account because, well, Tiktok sucks o-o

But when I found you, rey, on here I was so happy that I could continue the story because it was (and still is) my favorite dca "fanfic" with beautiful art. To be honest, you're one of the few artists that I would continue to follow even after they've moved onto something else and like everything you make because your art-style is just so AMAZING! I honestly didn't do my favorite panels (I reread the comic and picked out my favorites for this project/gift) justice in how beautiful the originals are!!!

Taking on this made me realize really how much work you put into each page because I started this back in the very beginning of November! Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us this comic rey, it's very special to me!

You're number one, twice :)

IF YOU LOVE THIS COMIC TOO YOU BETTER REBLOG IT LIKE A MILLION TIMES!

THE ART IS AMAZING! THE STORY IS AMAZING! AND I HOPE TO SEE MORE OF THE RUDINATOR IN THE FUTURE!

edit: imma dummy, I didn't even link it. click here for the masterlist :D

Got caught trying to talk to the clown fish again.

Prompt: aquarium

Unedited version:

Bonus:

(click for quality)

Just me talking (rambling) hhh-

(Y/n working as a janitor at a large 'exotic animals aquarium' and is drawn to this specific fish at first arrival, later down into the night after the aquarium is closed, y/n comes upon the same fish again while cleaning and tries to talk/communicate with it in some way

but then the night security guard stumbled upon their weird ass c: ) that's why their blushing, because their kinda embarrassed about getting caught..first day on the job.. y'know.. talking to a fish-

Extra: ( later on down the line, fishy fren kinda gets the memo and draws on a little area if sand that's infront of the glass to communicate and y/n started fogging the glass and writing on it to communicate, sun doesn't understand words so they do little drawings instead)

(He's half blind on the side of his face that's white, that's why that eye is fazed out)

(the lil heart water bubble thingy is something he usually does for visitors :D he does shows and tricks for people when they walk up to his case, the clown fish must perform :] )

[redtoondevils]

It's been a while, since I drew these characters, such as the DCA (Daycare attendant.) And the Janitor from Little Nightmares. I've been slowing down on them, but I still think about them occasionally. I've been missing them. Especially Roger.

Even the Granny too. She is an underrated enemy.

[dandyshucks]

brain is so silly bc I'm thinking "i wish Guz had cold hands so when I'm stressed he could cup my face and it'd soothe the itchiness I get when I start scratching at myself from the stress" and then I realized wait he's a fictional character. I could just say he has cold hands if I wanted. but he DOESN'T, i just KNOW that man is a heater !!! he will get me overheated so easily and that is simply something i am happy to put up with because i love him !!!!

[italiantea]

mindblown to learn that it's apparently common for japanese schools to ban kids from buying snacks between meals. bro when i was a kid $5 ntd mystery ice pops from the corner store were my childhood. if we got food poisoning that was on us lmao we knew what we were getting into

[salty-rey]

Ruin | Reunion

In celebration of the dlc Ruin release, I decided to draw some angst!!

No, this is not part of my story. No, this is not my Eclipse. No, Rudi will not be part of the game story.

This is merely a "What if" scenario. Like, what if Rudi didn't wake up on time? What if the game events DID happen at Rudi's location?

just them

a sketch of them

i love them

@salty-rey :)

[summonsunmoon]

A fic for you today! Red Sky.

What it’s about: You’ve gotten a job at the Pizzaplex, but there isn’t much to do considering it’s not open yet. When you end up in Parts and Service by accident, you find out why...

Why you should read it: A generally well-written fic with an interesting premise and great takes on all of the characters! The fic spends just enough time with the Glamrocks that you’ll come to love them without ever feeling like we’re away from Sun and Moon time for too long. Every moment with Sun is so sweet and precious, and while I won’t spoil too much the Moon scenes are great as well.

[whipped-cheese]

FINALLY FINISHED THEM!!

Grrrgrgr it has been a wip for decades-

My fish babies!! Aaaa :D

Esmeray!!

Aaaaaaaaand Sulien!! :]

[click for quality]

Fish Duty au

EEEEEEEE!!! *Confetti!!*

Ramblings of a madman underneath-

-So, originally- just going to make sun- since I drew him in the little comic I made a while back, but then I decided , why not make a moon too

because-

you know-

no sun is complete without their Moon /silly

So rambling rambling rambling time, info dumping mmm

Wanted to distinct them with their own names-

Esmeray! (or just Ray) -(Sun)

Sulien! (or just sully/sul) -(Moon)

Esmeray means dark moon and Sulien means sun born c:

Sometimes I'll forget so if a say sun and moon at some point it translates to Ray or Sul-

-So the same logic as last time applies,

the lighter size of their face and body is damaged/very sensitive, so the eye that's on the lighter side of their face is very very foggy so essentially, they're blind on that side of the face, soooo half blind. Often causing them to bump into fish or other random things in their enclosure sometimes.

-Usually you only see ONE at a time, but NEVER BOTH.

Often leading visitors to assume that there is only one clownfish in the enclosure that transforms or something when it's night, but really, when it's daytime Esmeray is out y'knoww, entertaining, doing tricks, swimming around while Sulien sleeps and when it's night time, Esmeray sleeps and then Sulien is entertaining, or just glowing around, looking pretty.

You never see them both out at the same time, rarely.

Really unless it's something important or it's something special.

Sometimes they'll both cuddle together in their little cove..🥺 on their sea anemone bed

usually in the late evenings 4-5pm before Sulien gets to go out and roam for the night.

(ray can't fall asleep comfortably, without being close to his brother [happening since they were young] so sulien snuggles with ray until ray falls asleep)

-as I said before- later on down the line, when y/n begins working at a janitor at the exotic fish aquarium, our lil fishy frens kinda gets the memo after a while and starts to draw on a little area of sand that's infront of the glass to communicate and y/n started fogging the glass and writing on it to communicate, Ray (sun) doesn't understand words so they both do little drawings instead.

No one really knows where he learnt it from- but Sulien (moon) knows a bit of English, only a few simple words (hello,bye, mad, you, me, us, angry, food, help, feel,etc.) he also uses the sand.

Performance wise, esmeray does lil heart water bubbles, (or really just any shape, kinda like how clowns do balloon animals and other items) it's something he usually does for visitors, kids mostly. He'll wave, bow, press his face against the glass to be funny, do silly faces that makes the kids laugh, even some regulars that really want to become marine biologist, etc. that often visit the aquarium on weekends that he's very very fond of. He does loads of shows and tricks for people when they walk up to his case, very very active lil fella

the clown fish must perform!! :]

Sulien on the other hand, usually comes out when it's night time, so it's quite rare to see him considering he's mostly active during practically closing time- up until opening hours.

When people do have the rare chance of seeing him at the front of one side of their enclosure, he's not really that active in terms of show BUT he will put on a very pretty light show.

It's absolutely mesmerizing.

Those who get to stay and finish watching it atleast-

The guards are pretty avid on getting everyone out of the aquarium at the designated time.

He also sings sometimes, which is extremely extremely rare-

Guards working there for years have probably only ever heard it twice-

I'll be drawing (mostly sketches) more of them for a little<3

Also- before, I'd prefer posting stuff about my other au 'A Bad Teaser au /lust au' somewhere separate because it's slightly,eeeehhh just a touch suggestive- BUT

I'm gonna redraw and start posting stuff about it here.

Sooner or later (very soon- like I have loads of drawings of them but no where to put it, and I wanna share my suggestive whore men /pos /silly )

☀️Solar Lunacy by BamSara (AO3 account required)

Same body!Sun/Moon/Eclipse x Staff!Reader

~~ [Designs by: @bamsara]

You weren't a technician, you weren't a security guard, you weren't a daycare assistant. You're just an employee. Staff. The ‘jack-of-all-trades’ employee with mediocre at best skills and specialty in none, tasked with doing miscellaneous jobs that robots couldn't do and human staff couldn't care to. The job is unpredictable, but it pays good and it's relatively easy.

Except for the part where all the animatronics are more sentient than you thought, and you're roped into a mystery surrounding the Daycare Attendants, who are bit too curious about you for your liking.

You don't think this was in your employee contact.

But when staying after hours one day, despite being strictly instructed not to, you find out a terrible secret that changes everything you knew about Sun, Moon and Crescent City forever.

~~ [Designs by: @pillowspace]

There was something slumped beneath a tree, and you had no idea what it was. The sunlight shone brighter where it laid, despite the leaves above not differing from any of the other foliage.

It was such a small thing to notice in comparison to everything else, but it brought a small hysterical giggle out past the lump in your throat as it finally clicked in place what you were seeing.

It was a god.

You are a peasant living in the middle of the woods, Sun is the god of day you brought back home with you, and Moon is the god of night tucked away in the Celestial Realm.

Mermaid!Eclipse x Human!Reader

~~ [Designs by: Me & @naffeclipse]

You see a fish, but the fish isn’t really a fish, because he looks up at you with big yellow eyes, wide with fright. Large black pupils dart around frantically. He’s small, less than half your size, which surprises you. You know mers are supposed to be big sea monsters that sink boats or cause storms, but you don’t see a monster. You think of a baby while staring at his chubby round face, creased with fear, and his small tail.

When you are ten years old, you find two creatures, bloodied and injured, trapped a net on the beach near your home. You save them, make friends with them, and return them to the sea, leaving you to wonder later if your friends with the Sun colored scales and fins that shone like the full Moon were real or imagined up by a childhood of loneliess.

Time passes. You hear stories of monsters, Sirens in the water, one that is a good omen if spotted, promising your safe voyage as long as you respect the rules of the ocean, and one that sinks ships and eats people for fun. Just folktales meant to scare children.

A decade later, they return the favor, though they don't plan on leaving you so easily this time.

🔞We Can Serve You Better, Than They Can by Bearitt

RoyalGuard!Sun x RoyalGuard!Moon x Princess!Y/N

~~ [Designs by: @flusteredfools]

It wasn’t your fault, none of it was but you were the one who was punished and both Sir Sun and Sir Moon hated that. It was the King’s affair with the Sorcerer that caused your unfortunate fate. He played with the wrong heart, made too many promises with no intent to keep them; and you, kind, sensitive, beautiful, youngest of seven royal children, last in line to the throne, originally the King’s favorite child, you took the punishment. A curse of lust, only to be cured by someone who truly loves you for more than what lies skin deep filling you up entirely; true love, they scoff.

Every day as the sun sets, your body lights with an inner fire, every touch you feel feels hundreds times more sensitive to you and you yearn and beg for someone to hold you, fill you and ease the flames you feel burning inside. In the King’s attempt to keep his secret and your curse hidden, he built you your own annex; a few trusted servants, staff and just you, furthest away from everyone else until you were able to find your true love and lift the curse.

Fnaf fic

[It's not the one I said i'd post, (I gave up on that one I'm so sorry) but I finally posted on Ao3 like i've been meaning to for a few months. It's Oc content that probably nobody cares about but I thought I'd let ya'll know.] Janitor Apollo finds the new hire, ASL interpreter Oliver, stuck in the building after hours. Nighttime security Moon shows up, Apollo shows off, hijinks ensue. Link to Ao3

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

(From Apollo’s point of view)

Moon had been following me all night, the light jingling of the bells on his wrists haunting me from the rafters as I mopped up stains and picked up trash. I had been ignoring him all night and as a result I’d been hit with quite a few small items and wadded napkins. I was pulling the stupid little cleaning cart around the Pizzaplex, doing my job “janitoring” and watching out for any stragglers before the Plex closed. The final announcement that the doors had been locked echoed over the loudspeakers and as I passed the doors a few minutes later I noticed the figure of a person sitting on the floor, leaning against the metal shutters, curled in on themselves, arms wrapped around their legs, head resting on their knees. “Yo, th’ Plex is closed man, what’re you still doing here?” I joke, approaching the poor unfortunate soul lucky enough to get locked in. I almost stop dead in my tracks as I recognize his curly brown hair and the rims of his round glasses. ‘Oh shit it’s the new guy. That’s the first thing you’ve said to him ever, you’re such a dumbass oh my god.’ I think to myself continuing forward and crouching down so we’re on the same level. “I’ve seen you around a few times, you’re the new guy right? You doin’ okay?” I ask him, immediately adopting a quiet gentle tone, debating putting my hand on his shoulder but deciding against it, already feeling like crouching to talk to him like a lost child was a stupid decision.

“Oh uh, yeah, well, physically yes, I’m okay. But I did manage to get myself locked in as you can tell, so I’m a little bit stressed about that if I’m being completely honest.” He replies, looking me in the eye. ‘Woah his eyes are really pretty, I’ve only ever seen him from across the room.’ “Right yeah, I can see why you’d be nervous about that.” I say, standing up and holding out my hand without thinking about it. “Sorry about the baby talk, lost kids generally take better to me when I'm quiet and gentle about wanting to help them.” I say with a chuckle, feeling my ears heat up as I apologize. “I’m Apollo, by the way, the janitor. Let’s get’cha out of here huh? I know a back way out of the building.” I try to keep a straight face, smiling slightly as he takes my hand, allowing me to help pull him to his feet. ‘His hand is really warm oh my fuck.’ “I’m Oliver, and yeah, I’m new. An ASL interpreter for the main shows.” He replies, straightening his back before freezing in place, looking over my shoulder. “Apollo…. The Moon-” He finally whisper-yells, eyes wide as he grips my hand tighter. I can see the slight refraction of Moon’s glowing eyes on Oliver's face. “He’s right behind me isn’t he?” I ask, grinning stupidly as I start to get a terrible idea. Oliver makes a sort of small squeaking noise, nodding in response, looking like he’s about to faint.

Without a word, I wink at him, spinning around on my heel and taking a few steps towards Moon, who thankfully doesn’t move, watching me as I approach him. “Don’t worry newbie, he’s practically harmless.” I say, patting the side of Moon’s arm dismissively, getting another stupid idea as Moon tilts his head in what looks like slight confusion. “Watch.” I say nonchalantly, reaching up to pat Moon’s faceplate, “So sorry about this dude.” I whisper to the tall animatronic, before gently cupping his “cheek” in one hand, and spinning his faceplate like a goddamn prize wheel. “Okay shit- run-“ I exclaim, grabbing Oliver’s hand and taking off through the empty lobby, slightly dragging him with me.

Apollo, you’re a moron. I think to myself as soon as my brain catches up.

‘You’re a moron and an idiot. Fucking with Moon? Just to show off??? Stupid asshole.’ My mind swirls as I pull Oliver with me through the empty Pizzaplex, his hand still gripped tightly in mine as we run together. Hopefully Moon doesn’t throttle me later, I know it’s only a matter of time before he finds me after I lead Oliver to the exit.’My mind is muddled with self-aimed insults and obscenities as I pull the new guy with me, running “for our lives” down the hallways together. “Sorry, that was super stupid.” I breathe, looking over my shoulder at him as we run. “It’s okay, it was kind of funny.” He replies and I notice as his eyes glance down at our interlocked hands before quickly looking me in the face. “What’s the plan??” He asks, and I can’t help but notice the slight flush in his cheeks, feeling him squeeze my hand tighter. “Uh, well, I hadn’t thought that far. There’s a closet up around the corner though, we have a decent enough head start, we can probably hide in there for a little bit.” I reply, immediately cursing myself for suggesting what was probably the smallest supply closet in the building to hide in. “Okay- sure yeah.” Oliver pants out as I loosen my grip on him, letting go of his hand as I nearly swing myself around the corner, quickly shoving my keys in the lock and opening the door. Oliver stumbles around the corner, slightly slower than I was, but definitely the more worried out of the two of us. “You go in first, he’s gunning for me anywa-“ I’m cut off as he grabs the front of my shirt and drags me into the small space with him, scattering my brain and leaving me with barely enough sense to grab the handle and pull the door shut behind us. “He’s not gonna like, get you right?” Oliver asks, avoiding eye contact; I feel one of his legs brush against mine as my thoughts re-focus, suddenly becoming very aware of our proximity. When he pulled me into the closet I had bumped into him slightly. I notice that one of my legs had somehow ended up between his and I feel my ears get hot. I have to stop myself from saying something stupid about our positioning. ‘You already fucked up by messing with Moon, don’t make it worse by being a useless stupid flirt too.’ I think to myself, tearing my eyes away from his lips, and looking off to the side. ‘His glasses are cute.’ “Apollo?” I’m pulled out of my thoughts by the feeling of a warm hand on my forearm. “Sorry, what were you sayin’?” I respond dumbly, blinking a few times, I can feel my cheeks start to get warm as I find myself glancing at his lips again without thinking. “I was just wondering how long you think we should keep hiding in here?” He repeats, moving his arm to the wall next to me, trying to keep his balance in the small space. “I think we should be okay to leave in a couple of minutes.” I pull out my phone to check the time “Twelve thirty...” I mumble aloud before looking back up at Oliver, my stomach doing a flip as our eyes meet. ‘Was his face always this close?’ “I think we should be okay now actually, Moon’s probably looking near the gang’s rooms since that was in the other direction, I can lead you to the back way out and you can leave from there.” I lean sideways slightly, using the wall to keep myself upright as I crack the door open and look out into the empty hallway. “There’s a few other places we could duck into on the way if he gets close or something, we can probably head out now.” I say,  pushing the door further open and extracting myself from the small space as Oliver nods, following me out a second or two later.

’ It would’ve been stupid to make any kind of move right? We technically just met, it probably would’ve been in poor taste, even though I’ve seen him around for weeks.’ I think to myself as I look around, waving for him to come forward as I start off towards the kitchen where the back door is. “The back leads out to the dumpsters behind the building, hope that’s alright.” I say quietly, refraining from purposefully brushing my hand against his as we walk. “That’s fine, as long as I get out alive.” Oliver jokes nervously, still avoiding looking at me directly. 

‘ Hiding in the closet was such a stupid idea, he probably thinks I’m some kind of creep now. ’

I nod, continuing on “Y’know Moon isn’t actually as bad as everyone’s been saying, I’ve been on the night shift for a few weeks and all he really does is mess with me. He just throws stuff sometimes, balled up napkins, plushies. He steals my hat sometimes, pens, keys, pulls my hair on occasion too, nothing too malicious though.” “What happened when you first met? Was he worse then since he didn’t know you?” Oliver asks, I watch him readjust his glasses on his face, getting distracted for a second before answering him. “Uh, yeah actually.” I chuckle, grinning to myself recalling the night I first ran into the half of the daycare attendant that was the Moon. “It was the first week I got put on the night shift. I actually think they forgot to tell him I’d be there because he thought I was an intruder. Pretty sure he wanted t’ kill me that night. I obviously ran away, which I think made it worse because he was giggling to himself the entire time he chased me, like it was some kind of game we were playing and he was “it” He caught me of course, ‘cause the motherfucker can “fly”. He cornered me and grabbed me, holding me like a struggling toddler, which I guess makes sense because he used to be the nap time attendant, and he’s freaky tall compared to everyone. I’m pretty sure he would have killed me, or at least crushed my ribs and seriously injured me, but I got the super smart idea of calling a timeout and he kind of loosened up. He let me explain that I was the janitor and I just got put on the night shift and stuff. I don’t really know if he believed me or not, but I did have my badge so he must’ve found some validity in my statement, even still he stared at me for a long time before letting me go. He followed me around for the rest of the night, ‘been following me around ever since actually.” I explain, inwardly cringing at myself for rambling on so much. “Yikes, heh, that sounds like it was definitely an experience.” Oliver replies thoughtfully with a small laugh. “Well, I mean, yeah, it was kind of scary, I was “running for my life” but in hindsight he was just doing his job, it wasn’t his fault management didn’t tell him I’d be there, I think he probably would’ve avoided me if they did, so I’m kind of glad it happened actually.” We’re almost at the kitchen by now and I sigh quietly, knowing I probably won’t get another chance to talk with Oliver after tonight.

‘ He probably doesn’t really want to talk to you that much anyway though. ’

I find myself getting lost in my thoughts again as we continue walking, finding myself mentally running through the list of tasks I have to get done before the end of the week.

‘What am I doing after I let him out through the back? I think I’m supposed to order a new couch for Monty at some point. Management mentioned something about him ripping it up, again. I’ll have to put in the order for that sometime this week.’

My gaze drifts to Oliver’s shorter form, watching his curls bounce slightly with each of his steps, I’ve accidentally shifted closer to him while we walked and our hands are close together again and I could swear I see his face get redder. ‘ Probably the reflection from all the bright ass neon lights everywhere though. Don’t look into it too much.’ I’m starting to wish I could turn off my inner monologue. “So uh, we all know you’re the new guy, how’s the job treating you so far?” I ask, ignoring my train wreck of thoughts in favor of attempting to socialize; we are coworkers so I might as well try to get to know the guy even if we probably wouldn’t be interacting much. “Yeah, It’s pretty okay so far.” Oliver responds with a small smile. “I don’t have very much interaction with the animatronics, but they’ve been very nice when I have gotten the little opportunity to say hi after shows.” I nod, humming in response, he’s right, the animatronics are the face of the company, they’re always busy with something, especially Freddy. “You got a favorite crew member?” I ask as we round the corner, almost to the kitchen. “Crew member?” Oliver asks, I can hear the confusion in his voice and I can’t help but grin to myself. “Yeah, crew member. Employees, specific staff bots, a member of the main gang, even the wet floor bots count as part of the crew.” I explain, counting on my fingers as I name the various other personnel and robots who work to help keep the pizzaplex up and running. “Oh! Freddy, definitely Freddy.” He responds happily, I hum again, looking at the floor as we walk, shoving my hands in my pockets. 

“I feel bad about it, but I’m hopelessly awkward around him.” I laugh, rubbing the back of my neck with slight embarrassment. “Really? Why?” “Well, he’s kind of like a father figure, to everyone really. But it makes it hard for me to ever actually talk to the guy. I’m not great at talking to authority figures, bosses, parents, “adults” even though I am technically an adult, I don’t feel very grown-up so there’s a bit of a disconnect between me and everyone else.” I say with a shrug, listening to the sound of our almost-in-sync footsteps on the plush carpet, the kitchen door in sight as we continue forward. “Is that the kitchen?” Oliver asks, pointing to the door in front of us, the font of the gold plaque on the door nearly unreadable. “Yep.” I respond simply, quickening my pace a bit to get to the door before him, pulling it towards me and holding it open. “After you.” I say, jokingly bowing before letting him pass “Why thank you. What a gentleman.” He replies, going along with my joke and bowing back before entering the empty kitchen. The two of us walk silently through the room, I get distracted by his hair again and before I know it we’ve reached the back door. Holding in a sigh I push the door open, leaning into it and holding it open for him yet again with a small smile. “Your chariot awaits, good sir.” I say with a grin and a flourish of my arm, gesturing in the direction of the parking lot where I assume he has some mode of transportation waiting for him. “Thanks for walking me out.” He chuckles, stepping through the doorway and outside. “S’no big deal, hopefully next time we meet the circumstances are different.” I say with a light chuckle. “Yeah...” Oliver responds, nodding awkwardly, clearly wanting to say more.

“What’s up? Forget something?” I ask, raising an eyebrow at him and shifting my weight slightly against the door. “No, not quite, I just- Would you like to come with me? I mean, if Moon is mad at you because of me I don’t want you going back in there and getting hurt or anything.” He says, fiddling with his sleeves and looking at his shoes. “Nah man, it’s fine, I can handle him.” I say, waving my hand nonchalantly, dismissing the thought. “Besides, I still have my job to do, you’re off-shift. Go do something fun, or go home and sleep, the rest of the night is yours. If I get hurt it’s more likely to be from personal error than from raging animatronic.” I joke, absently running a hand through my hair and looking back at him. “If you say so.” He mumbles, looking at me for a second before returning his gaze to the concrete, I can almost see the conflict in his eyes. “I promise it’ll be fine. I’ll see you around.” I reassure him, stepping back inside and grabbing the door, giving him a small wave before closing it.

‘I hope that wasn’t rude, I really do have a job to do though.’

The echo of the light tapping of my shoes on the linoleum is louder than it should be as I walk back across the empty kitchen, trying not to let myself feel bad for declining Oliver’s offer and shutting the door. I take a deep breath and let out a heavy sigh as I push the kitchen door back open, cringing at the squeal of the hinges as they protest the movement.

I exit the kitchen, so caught up in my thoughts that I nearly miss the sound of bells above me. “Finally found me, did you? Took you long enough. The other guy’s gone by the way.” I say smugly, crossing my arms and turning to face the tall animatronic crouched in the guts of the ceiling, looking up at him with a grin.

“Wrong.” He replies, red LED eyes full of impossible humor, expression mirroring mine.

“Wrong?" I repeat, narrowing my eyes as slight confusion crosses my face. Moon lets out a quiet, haunting chuckle, his faceplate spins once before snapping back into position. There is the quiet zipping sound of a cable’s slack letting out and suddenly he’s on the floor in front of me. He leans forward, his face close to mine as his grin widens, I can hear the faint sound of his inner workings as he looms over me, staring. “Never lost you.”

[Extra] ⬇️ “Epilogue” (not really though)

The next morning when Oliver shows up bright and early to work he’s greeted by Apollo in the main lobby. “Morning new guy, did’ja come to hang out too?” Apollo says, a sheepish grin on his face as he looks down at the shorter man. “That was terrible. Why are you hanging from the ceiling?” Oliver replied flatly, doing his best to keep the unimpressed expression on his face. Apollo was, in fact, hanging from the ceiling. Suspended in the air by the back of his belt and Moon’s cable, which had been wrapped around his belt a few times, and tied with a bow. “Apollo, I asked you a question.” Oliver says, shifting his weight to one foot and staring up at Apollo, fighting the small smile threatening his lips. “Oh yeah, sorry, spaced out.” “Pun intended?” “Definitely.” Oliver sighs, running a hand through his hair as he tries to straighten out his thoughts. “So, why are you up there?” he repeats, looking up at Apollo expectantly. “Moon.” Apollo replies nonchalantly, shrugging slightly, like it wasn’t that big a deal. “I told you, you should’ve left with me last night.” “Yeah maybe, but I've only been up here for about five-ish minutes, we were pretty chill for most of the night after I let you out.” Oliver shakes his head, resisting the urge to sigh again at Apollo’s aloof attitude. “I’ll just skip over what you did to make him string you up there, and ask how exactly you plan to get down.” “Oh that’s easy, I’ve got two options, One, the fast option, I undo my belt and you catch me when I plummet to the floor, or two, the the longer but safer option, I radio the DJ on my walkie, and get saved by the giant spider boom-box.” Apollo says, slowly starting to spin as he talks, his hands animating his words. “You shouldn’t need me to tell you that your first option is stupid.” Oliver replies, rolling his eyes at what he hoped was another joke from Apollo. “Yeah, I was pretty sure your skinny self would fold in half if you tried to catch the corpse falling from the sky.” Apollo continues to spin at a snail’s pace while he furthers the conversation with Oliver. “Well if you’re going to radio the Dj, you should probably do it now right? People are going to start showing up in like half an hour.” Oliver comments, starting to walk towards the employee break room to drop off his things before making himself available for the morning show. “Aww, come on man, don’t leave me hanging.” Apollo complains, watching him go. “Yep, I think you deserve it.” Oliver calls over his shoulder, biting lip and finally letting himself crack a smile out of view.

ART OF APOLLO (blonde - mine) AND OLIVER (glasses - theirs) BY MY SUPER TALENTED BEST FRIEND.

[meo-eiru]

There HAS to be a flaw in Micah. He's human. There has to.

He's got to hate onions and leave them in his bowl at mealtimes or leave a lot of hair in the shower for the church janitor to clean up or accidentally leave a sock in the dryer.

I bet his thick-ass hair snaps hair ties and the church has to have a designated budget for his hair. I bet someone has walked in on him with his hair untied. I bet he stains his clothes when he eats spaghetti.

I hope the little babies he has to kiss pull his hair. I hope he gets stuck with crying widows and has to console them for hours. I hope he gets stuck leading toddler music hour. I hope he has to run the church daycare at snacktime on Grape Juice Day.

I am a certified Micah hater and Elias lover.

I'm crying lmao this ask is so funny

Micah likes spicy food and I doubt he'd hate onions but I can see him disliking baked carrots. I bet he dislikes the soft texture and bland taste of it and would just immediately start separating it from his food. I also think he wouldn't like stuff that are too sweet, if you made him consume the stuff Lavi eats on a daily basis you'd get to see a very interesting expression.

Speaking of him liking spicy food, when I shared that info for the first time someone called him Kotomine Kirei and it was not intentional on my part but I LOVE IT lmao that's so funny. I want them to have a mapo tofu eating competition

For the rest tho I absolutely love them lmao I might just make them canon

Wayne Tower yelp reviews pls (wrong answers ofc)

★★★☆☆ Disappointed but not surprised

Was invited to the Wayne Gala held at the Tower this year to accommodate special guests from the Justice League. Was photographed by reporter Clark Kent. Wanted to meet Superman but he didn't show up. Food and atmosphere was good. Got told off for swinging from the chandelier. Why have a chandelier if not for swinging?

★☆☆☆☆ Not even gonna dignify it with a title

I'd give zero stars if I could. The CEO is a massive fucking asshole. He's full of nothing but smooth-brained takes. He claims he'll be there when you need him but never shows up. And when you RIGHTFULLY resent him, he'll turn around and pretend YOU are the bad guy. That isn't even touching on his AUDACITY to replace you so soon after you leave. You think you know this man, you think you've grown to trust him, and then he goes and stabs you in the back. Believe me when I say RUN. Get as FAR away from this company and that bastard Bruce Wayne as you possibly can.

★★☆☆☆ SOS

I work here. Too many emails. Half the execs are Boomers who can't export a PDF. The break room is out of coffee. My dad won't stop visiting the office. When will the nightmare end???

★★★★☆ Imperfect but respectable

I had the opportunity to visit Wayne Tower on Bring Your Child To Work Day. The building is up to code and I was able to view all the health code certifications. I admire that Wayne Enterprises takes care of its employees by allowing ample vacation time, in-house daycare, and well-maintained recreation spaces. The cafeteria did not have as many vegetarian options as I would have preferred, but I have been informed that they operate on a rotating menu, so I shall revisit again next week and possibly amend my review. I would leave five stars but I ran into Tim Drake on the way out and that brought the whole experience down a notch.

★☆☆☆☆ No Chipotle

Was told there was a Chipotle here. Did not find Chipotle.

★★★☆☆ Badge entry didn't work

I'm on the night shift at the company's call center. One time I was already running late but for some reason I couldn't badge in. The janitor wouldn't let me through even though I had proof I was supposed to be here. Had to escalate to the CEO. Still better than working the Batburger drive-thru though.

★★★★★ Hi Dad

Hi Dad.

★★★★☆ Good but...

I love the bathrooms. They're easy to find and very accessible for a wheelchair user like myself. There's plenty of space for me to navigate and the products are top-notch, especially the hot towels. The toaster oven under the sink also doesn't make sense, but then again, my lockscreen is Nightwing so I can't judge.

★★☆☆☆ No cats allowed

I got written permission from the CEO himself to bring my cat to the office, but the doorman turned me away. Next time, there should be better communication between the employees.

★★★★☆ Rooftop makes for good date

I brought my girlfriend up here for our anniversary date. The building has a beautiful view of the city and the restaurant was great. The bread was a little dry, but nothing that a little butter couldn't fix. Unfortunately, she's an on-call detective and we had to cut our evening short, but that's not the staff's fault.

★☆☆☆☆ Got called Bri'ish

Someone called me Bri'ish.
