TRAGIC: best person you know made a terrible point

[monty-glasses-roxy]

AU where management for whatever reason decide to just say “fuck it” and hand over management of the pizzaplex to the animatronics. It’s free management after all since they don’t get paid but how I think this would go is...

Freddy is probs the one everyone was like “yeah he’s in charge right” but all that really happened is he gets the final vote on everything because he waited till last to make a decision. He’s in charge of health and safety and he’s very good at it! Too good! They had to stop him from baby proofing everything with bubblewrap! He takes his job incredibly seriously. The amount of first aid stations has at least doubled and they’ve never been more stocked before than they are now. He ensures more staff than ever have first aid training and there’s now things like defibrillators and what not around the place. The changes have greatly improved how parents see the place and he couldn’t be more thrilled. Sunny and Moon have absolutely had to chase him out of the daycare a few times though. It’s already safe in there, what does he mean he’s doing a safety inspection?

Chica created and now runs their social media. She absolutely loves it but has had to learn the rules of consent and when to put the camera down the hard way. Their media presence is great once she gets the hang of it and they all have fun coming up with random shit to do on it. She runs monthly popularity polls and commentates on it like its a sports game and shows off new merch - mainly her own - a lot as well. With a little help from the others, she also hosts little competitions with merch, food and other such prizes, and has a jokey mini series where she hides and films the others, commentating over it like its a nature documentary. She actually learns that she loves photography and film making through this job and maybe she starts experimenting with little short films and photo scrap books as a hobby.

Roxy is put in charge of maintenance and upgrades. She understands all that stuff and she’s pretty damn good at her job too. At first there’s a lot of upgrades to be done and she’s learned just how fun it is to invent said upgrades but has had to be reigned in a few times. Rockets on their feet would be cool and all but they’re animatronic mascots, not Transformers. She sulks about this for a bit but once the initial upgrading is done and she’s satisfied they’re not going to keep breaking every night, she calls it a day and ends up the local handy man and focuses on being a go-kart mechanic instead until someone needs a late night repair. She actually loves this job and the human staff members of her area very quickly learn to treat her with the utmost respect. Within a couple of months of things breaking here, there and everywhere constantly, she loses her patience and is like “Fuck this” and requests the Plex close for maintenance for a little bit. She then fixes up as much as she physically possibly can in every single area of the Plex with her team and once the place reopens again, problems become a lot less frequent.

Monty is in charge of security. He takes his job very seriously but also sometimes has a bit of fun with it like barring people from specific places for funsies. He likes bossing the night guards - mainly Vanessa - around and he works pretty closely with Freddy with first aid station stuff. He doesn’t actually have a lot to do all the time but he prefers it this way and likes to help out the others when he can. He’s actually pretty good with the money side of things as well and so mostly helps out there when he can. He dabbles in a bunch of the other areas as well but finance and security are his best categories.

Sunny and Moon just gained extra authority when it came to the daycare. They can now do more stuff with the kids and have more control over what and when things get repaired. They mostly get things like a new projector for movies and stuff and then some things for neurodivergent kids like sound cancelling headphones and fidget toys and what have you. They also invest in braille books and start teaching sign language and what not. They get more toys, more games, more everything! And after they know there’s extra money in the budget, they request a few little additions to the centre like a proper place for nap times and more slides and swings and stuff. Moon just wants a sticker machine and fairy lights. They’re overjoyed at getting these things almost immediately.

DJ Music Man gets put in charge of music production. The others have an idea for a new song, they go to him and he helps make it happen. He insist the invest in a studio which they were going to do anyway but now they know how much DJ wants it, they make it big enough for him too. He also asks if it would be possible to have tunnels for him all throughout the Plex and while they’re a little wary on what the reception to that might be considering he’s pretty scary, they at least say they’ll try. This is a pretty slow and gradual thing to implement, the first place he gets access to being Roxy Raceway since that was having to go through construction anyway.

And of course they would bring Bonnie and Foxy back! And give them work to do as well!

So Bonnie would be in charge of merchandising. He has an eye for this sort of stuff and the first thing he creates with everyone is a set of themed playing cards. He is super proud of them and has very high standards as to what gets made and what doesn’t. The quality of their merch gets so much higher with him in charge and merch sales improve quite a bit as a result. The plushies no longer look awful and he helps everyone create unique merch for themselves. He turns out quite the savy businessman and does pretty damn well in this role. He also likes to help with the design of the Plex itself. Like the decorations and overall feel of the place. He’s the one that thought of a way to make DJ’s tunnels into other places look like they belonged and not like a space invasion.

Foxy, believe it or not, gets control of the finances. He is so incredibly good at money and money management and no one really knows exactly why. The best theory they have is something about distributing treasure among crewmates in stories or whatever but they’ve learned to just stop questioning it. He loves that he has the power to make his friends’ ideas come to life but he also hates that this means he has to be the voice of reason. He’s the one making sure people don’t go overboard in their respective areas and often has to be the one to teach these lessons to them, despite only just learning them himself. He has learned to seperate his feelings from some matters from having to be the one to tell DJ Music Man that making the entire Pizzaplex available for him to easily navigate is going to cost more than they have and the funds have to go elsewhere for now. He felt awful doing it, but it had to be done.

I think that’s everyone! They’d all definitely have trouble with burnout and would all have to learn the hardway when to stop working with all their new responsibilities. They’d all probably take up more hobbies or start incorperating regular days where the plex isn’t open at all to be able to help with that.

They’d all absolutely love getting to write their own songs too. I imagine they were all settled again they would make one hell of an album and the showtimes would get way more excitng very quickly.
