Fazbear Frights (The Fanfiction Chronicles): In Your Dreams... (Ch. 1)

Fazbear Entertainment performs a business collaboration with Bogosoft, who is involved more in the comic and video game industry. The partnership involves a promotion on both ends: Bogosoft makes their latest platformer idea reality, while Fazbear Entertainment agrees to feature animatronics based on Bogosoft's characters. The characters in question are from Bogosoft's latest and retro throwback hit, Corn Kidz 64: the one-horned goats, Seve and Alexis. Two characters that are of great interest to Claire, the current night guard of the lucky location. Even if it’s just as animatronics instead of the real deal, it's always a dream come true to have your favorite characters brought to life! However, it'll always devolve into a nightmare when you become their favorite person...

[Chapter 1: Starting the First Sleepover…]

Claire considers herself blessed, though odd it may be. The factory was supposed to be her safe haven from jobs that'd otherwise force her to face customers, but mass layoffs ensued from diminishing sales. Claire worried she'd have to stick by the idea of choosing more... drastic options, should she have ever been faced with the threat of returning to that Hell. There was a reason it would often follow: "Retail." Of course, it goes double for working through a pandemic, which cemented Claire's dark promise to herself. Luckily, there was that "blessedness" of her situation currently: a job as a night guard, than another hapless soul behind a counter or where else she'd be vulnerable to further abuse-- including physical. Yes, a guard still had physical threats to consider, but she'd be allowed to harm them in return without as much consequence.

Then again, she's "guarding" a pizzeria, not a bank nor museum that'd tempt the eye of many a thief nor other malicious intruder. It was tricky to adjust to a new sleep schedule, having been so used to waking up with the sun, but the moon would soon have her as its companion instead. To make it less of a chore, Claire just pretended she was a werewolf who's ready to face another night of defending her den. Who ever said growing old meant growing up? Fortunately, night became less scary, the more she felt used to its presence as darkness. It honestly wasn't all that different from the vacant and darkened landscape of early factory day mornings.

Claire became used to things, soon enough. However, there was one change that'd come: in addition to the standard Fazbear quartet of Bonnie, Chica, Foxy and Freddy himself, there'd be two new characters. Claire recognized them from that new and retro-styled video game, Corn Kidz 64: Seve and Alexis, the one-horned goats. Apparently, Fazbear Entertainment had decided on a collaboration with Bogosoft, the goats' creator: another "retro" title would be made of Freddy and friends, and that promotion on Bogosoft's part would be met with the promotion of their brand through this new attraction. Why, the in-game "Dreem Soda" had also been added to the menu and “Pizza Nachos” (just cheesy chips with pizza sauce and pepperoni), to further complete the tie-in to one another. Claire felt excited, when she first saw that stage under construction and came across the article on her phone that detailed everything. True, she could have simply satisfied curiosity by means of a simple, "What's gonna be added there?" but human interaction is risky business. Even before all of... that retail stuff, Claire still kept to herself more than anything.

Eventually, the proper stage for the new animatronics would finish, and the unicorn-esque duo arrived. When doing her rounds that night, Claire's heart beat with excitement as she got closer to that area of the building. It was more efficient to take her time during the "on foot" part of her security job, as the cameras couldn't always show everything. Plus, Claire wouldn’t be a very good guard if she just ran to the place that caught her eye over personal interests, rather than reasonable suspicion. But soon enough, she finally arrived at that little stage built just for them: the checkered floor of a square, the painted red background that sat behind a fence painted over it, and the gothic goats themselves that stood front and center. Seve remained frozen in his typical grouchy frown, while Alexis smiled at nothing as a happy statue. They were one of the few times where a character avoids looking terrifying in a realistic and three dimensional plane, even when that appearance is accompanied by the black joint indents and vacant eyes of an animatronic.

Claire steps onto the stage herself, wanting to get a closer look. She always wondered what it’d be like to actually meet some of her favorite fictional characters. It’s a true testament to Claire’s short height, when Mr. 3’ 7 and Ms. 3’ 8 reached the woman’s flatter breasts. Combined with the youthful and round face, it’s no wonder her ID became her best drinking buddy-- or shopping buddy, as bars would never be ideal to her. Claire walks around the duo a few times, taking in every last detail on how they might’ve been if they were real people (animals?). Claire gets the weird idea to hug them, especially Alexis, but that’s both unprofessional and possibly a bit dangerous: they were designed for performance, not physical contact, so Claire’s little but buff arms could bust something. Still, a tiny hand would reach out and satisfy its curiosity of how soft Alexis’ “fur” was. Very, to the point where Claire could imagine herself wanting a blanket made out of the same material.

Claire walks back in front of them, wondering what their show would be like. It’d probably be something akin to Freddy and crew’s, except less about musical numbers and more about the banter. Something about the article claimed “interactiveness,” so Claire imagined AI could be involved to make the characters seem even more lifelike. What kind of conversations would she have with them…? Well, if she could even muster the courage-- even if these weren’t actual beings who could judge her as a creepy or unpleasant fan. Claire even wondered if she would count as a “loser” or “creep” regardless for sharing a child’s level of interest in fictional beings… Claire couldn't help it, though! Seve was just so cool, and Alexis had a friendly and bubbly air that made her a comforting character. If only Claire could follow Alexis' example or be Seve, except a wolf instead of a goat.

Well, Claire couldn't stay on stage with them the whole night, she still has a job to do and more pizzeria to inspect. Once again, nothing seemed out of place and it's time to return to the office cameras. Claire stopped by Seve and Alexis' stage once more. She couldn't help but approach again, just for one final look and slight wonderment of what they'll be like as part of Freddy's. Maybe she could watch their performance and finally get an idea of what they sound like, outside of the in-game baaing? Jeez, all of this obsessiveness on her part made Claire wonder what it would be like for a fictional character to become real in general... How creepy would it be to appear in a world where everyone somehow knows all about you and especially wants to cling to you? Well, at the very least, Claire could convince herself she's not a full-on "loser creep" over those character-based interests: she wouldn't be acting like this if they weren't just lifeless animatronics, for one thing.

Claire looked down at Seve one final time, her tilted head filled with the idea of him trying that new "Pizza Nachos" item-- possibly from personal consolation, after Alexis forced him along to Freddy's to admire the animal band and play the games here. Claire could totally imagine that sort of adventure for them... But what she didn't imagine was Alexis' eyes staring at her. Claire thought something seemed odd in her upper peripheral vision, making her own eyes shift upward on her still-lowered head. Alexis' magenta eyes shift forward again, only barely preventing true eye contact with Claire's big blues; however, Claire didn't need the eye contact to know what she saw, what Alexis just did when she's not supposed to be active...

Claire jumps off the stage and looks back, specifically at the doe. She knows it's not sleep deprivation, she's far too used to working this nightly shift... Alexis was staring at her and tried to act like nothing happened. Claire tries to process the scary event… Was Alexis not fully off and thus has some "detection" mode on for people; but then, why did she look away like she didn't want Claire to notice? And what about Seve: was he secretly staring at Claire, too, just doing a better job of secrecy?

Claire didn't think she was in any actual danger... Seve and Alexis wouldn't be designed for such a thing, especially not when even their horns would be plush more than actual bone. She walks closer again, making sure to not only stay out of arm's reach but any pouncing distance, as well. She repeatedly flicks her flashlight in Alexis' eyes, trying to provoke another response. When she doesn't get a response, Claire gets another idea to absolutely be sure: she pretends to go on her way, but peers around the corner to see if they... Well, could be "shy." Claire couldn't rely on the camera for a secret view, since Seve and Alexis' stage was in one of the blindspots that made periodic patrols necessary. It's not exactly like two animatronics, who aren't even Fazbear characters to begin with, would be high enough priority for their own personal camera.

Claire's heart sank further than she did behind the corner, when Alexis moved again: her head turned slightly, the rest of her robotic body remaining immobile. Claire couldn't hear them, but she saw the moving mouths that indicated speaking...

"I think she saw me, Seve..."

"Why did you need to move anyway...?!"

"I got nervous! She kept circling us like she knew something..."

"She was just curious or somethin'..."

"But it seemed like an 'I'm onto ya!' kind of thing...!"

"How the heck would she know anything...?! Hmph, she probably does now... If we get scrapped, I'm blaming you."

"Seve...! She's watching us..."

The robotic buck snaps his head toward where the other's gaze fell, the rest of his own body not needing to move either-- despite the 180 degree turn. It was faint, but Claire's little blonde bob cut and pale face managed to stick out from the surrounding darker colors.

"Hey, freeze!"

"W-What are you--?!"

"--Something that's better than just hoping she stays quiet!"

The animatronics could walk?!! No, RUN-- SOMETHING CLAIRE NEEDS TO DO!! She can only think of fleeing to the office and shutting the door. Seve was fast, despite his shorter legs, but Claire managed to reach the left doorway and press the button. She barely had seconds to spare... Then, she runs to the other door and shuts it, just for safer measure. She perfectly replicates a scared child hiding under their bed, as she crawls under the desk and hugs herself. Did she fall asleep and this was some nightmare...? After all, there's no way someone would need to worry about animatronics harming them in real life, right? 

"Hey, open up!" Seve's roars accompanied his pounding, "Don't make me break this stuff down-- I'll find some way to!"

Seve might've been a great deal shorter, but Claire worried size wouldn't be everything... For starters, what if he didn't feel pain, unlike her? At the very least, he could still reach and hit her skull... 

"Let me try, Seve..."

"You; the heck are you gonna do?!"

"Well, she's not gonna open up and’ll definitely tell on us, if ya keep scaring her like that!" Alexis then leans against the door, pressing her cloth face on it, "Uh, excuse me, Miss Security Guard...? I know it's really weird and maybe even scary to see us moving and talking... But we're nice, I promise!"

Claire doesn't know if she can trust them... Seve, for one thing, can be quite punch-happy if he's provoked enough, and she’d imagine his robotic twin being similar. Cloth or not, she'd imagine it'd hurt.

"Come out, pretty please...?" Alexis still tries, "Uh... I'll give you some candy?"

"'Candy'?!" Seve repeats, "That's the best you got?!"

"... Everyone likes it?"

Claire looks at the clock: she's got a few more hours to go and she's not sure if she can stay in here for that long. Not just for bathroom-related matters, but also because the office wasn't designed as Fort Knox: the idea was just to make it harder to get inside, not impossible. Maybe she could call the police and claim that someone had broken in and was trying to "leave no witnesses"? She was honestly a bit scared of Seve and Alexis returning to normal when someone arrived, however... That'd be an awkward explanation to give.

"Just keep her in there..." Seve walks away, "I got an idea..."

Claire just remains in her huddled position, as Alexis keeps trying to coax her into opening up. Then, the sound of the ventilation shaft gets Claire's attention: Seve lifts the grate open and enters her office. Claire doubts she'd be able to reach the door Alexis isn't behind in time, plus she doesn't know if the doe actually moved there; so the poor kid just stays hidden behind her chair and under her desk. Seve just looks at her, as he opens both doors and lets Alexis enter through the left one. They approach the chair that Claire believes will save her: Seve has his arms folded, and Alexis more gingerly holds her hooves together and with a friendlier smile.

"Uh, hiyah..." Alexis waves, "Sooo... Uh, yeah, it seems they, er, accidentally made us alive?"

"Accidentally alive"? Claire wasn't sure how someone "accidentally" creates apparent life... Okay, technically it is possible, like when people have too much to drink-- but there's a clear difference between "surprises" and artificial intelligence becoming artificial life! Claire would've been far more comfortable with the notion, actually, if she wasn't afraid about what might be done next to keep things a secret... If Seve would chase her down like that, perhaps even death could be a solution here if desperate enough? Sure, Claire found no reason to be scared of what happens to all eventually, it was more so the likely anguish during the process that terrified her. Claire just stays behind the chair, gripping it with both hands and wondering how effective her flashlight would be for makeshift clubbing.

"I promise we won't take over the world or anything!" Alexis continues, "We can't even leave the pizzeria... So, maybe you could just pinkie promise or something to stay quiet?"

Alexis offers her wiggling one, making Claire shrink back.

"... Okay, this ain't gonna work..." Seve rolls his eyes, fighting Claire for the chair, "Plan B: we just knock her out, now gimme that flashlight and get outta there!"

"Seve, that's not gonna help!"

"You can help by holding her down and helping me realize when she stops moving."

"Shoo, go on, shoo..." Alexis waves him away, "Let Ol’ Lexi take care of everything!"

"After Ol' Lexi caused everything by having to friggin' move?"

Alexis just pouts and points, making the buck roll his eyes and walk off with hunched shoulders. Alexis then kneels down and smiles at Claire again.

"Seve's just silly, we won't actually hurt'cha!" Alexis raises her pinkie again, "See? Pinkie promise! Just like you could make one to...? I'll even let you touch my face again, if ya want!"

Now Claire feels like the creepy one... But how was she to know they were sentient enough to require consent? But anyhow, despite Seve's more aggressive demeanor, the animatronics were acting pretty much in character... So, maybe Alexis wouldn't hurt her? It's not like she's exactly able to escape right now anyhow-- and she doesn't dare risk Seve's wrath with some immediate flashlight-clubbing! Claire reaches a shaky pinky out, careful to prevent her wrist from suddenly being grabbed and herself yanked by it. Soft, fleshy digit wraps around hard, plastic digit. 

"See? It's a promise!" Alexis giggles, "We won't hurt you, and you can't tell anyone!"

Claire just nods, wondering what to do now. She didn't trust Seve to stick by that promise-- even though she didn't dare squeal about this. Claire then perks up, as Alexis' pinkie-promising hoof gently moves up her tiny hand and holds it, rubbing the palm with a thumb.

"You're so soft," Alexis giggled, "... Can I hug ya?"

Claire didn't fully trust her yet, but she suddenly found herself pulled out by just that gentle hoof. Alexis catches her, Claire now standing evenly at the other’s height by being on her knees. It felt more like being enveloped by a stuffed animal than a robot. Alexis giggles again and squeezes Claire.

"You really are soft..." the doe wags her tail, "I could hold you forever."

Claire looks at Seve, who growls and presses a plastic finger into her nose. Yeah, Claire definitely wouldn't say anything... Alexis then presses Claire's head against hers, her plastic grin wide as it possibly could be.

"I like ya..." she giggles, "Say, why don't we be friends? You know we're alive, sooo..."

"Why?" Seve asks, "I doubt she even likes ya herself..."

"Come on, Seve, you can never have too many friends!" Alexis then leans into his ear, "Plus, she might be less likely to tell on us if we're friends..."

Claire could still hear that, since her head was still against Alexis'... Seve just rolled his eyes at the notion, but he didn't seem too interested in arguing. Alexis finally releases Claire, who's past the point of running and just accepting things, as they all sit together in the office. Alexis wanted Claire to tell her everything: what it's like to be made of flesh and bone instead, what it's like outside the pizzeria... Claire gave the smallest and simplest answers she could, avoiding eye contact and trying to work up the courage for her own questions. Luckily, Alexis already had that base covered.

"So, I guess it's only fair to say some stuff about us, too, huh?"

Claire lifts her head, finally making direct eye contact.

"I bet you were curious," Alexis giggles, "So, wanna know anything about us? I can start by telling you I love animals, like how it'd be super cool to have those adorable little stuffed animals of Freddy and everyone!"

“... When did you become sentient…?”

“Hmmm?” Alexis leans closer, aiming an ear at her and holding a hoof beside it, “Speak up, I can’t hear ya.”

Claire repeats it, making Alexis lean back and tap her chin.

“You mean: ‘When did Seve and I start being alive’? Umm… I guess the first time we opened our eyes.”

It was a rather strange experience for the two… Just endoskeletons with functional eyes, taking in their surroundings and the beings within it. Neither had any idea that the identical, metallic frame of a face sitting across them would become their friend. Their ONLY friend… The two always had a feeling that if they made their “advanced technology” a bit too obvious, they’d probably be in some deep trouble. Not all people would just follow Claire’s example of simply running away… Though, everyone behaving more terrifiedly than hostilely would still be quite lonesome, even if the goats remained with each other.

They were curious as to what they are and what they’re apparently meant to become: whenever alone, they’d examine and test their latest parts-- from new voice boxes, to their new and operable hooved hands. Of course, Alexis couldn’t resist playfully booping Seve’s snout, prompting the other incomplete endoskeleton and body to smack her hand away. Eventually, they’d be finished and take in the full extent of their given identities: no longer were they simply the replicated minds of Seve and Alexis, but the actual goats in the flesh-- or cloth. 

Unfortunately, they never had much to do when finally left alone. Sure, they could make what little conversation they could or Alexis would amuse herself with Seve’s annoyance; but they couldn’t risk doing too much nor get too engrossed overall, lest they risk being walked in on and face who-knows-what. However, there was one way they could frolic together and amuse themselves safely: the dreams they managed to share. Claire guessed she could see it: if Seve and Alexis had enough sentience to form memories and engage with her like this, then it wouldn’t be too farfetched to imagine their artificial intelligence as advanced enough to replicate a brain’s dreaming projections. But what does an animatronic dream of…?

“We have lots of adventures when we dream!” Alexis explains, “We can go to all sorts of places and do all sorts of things! I even got to be a cumulonim-bush: it’s a big, fluffy cloud, but it’s made of leaves instead!” she then widens her eyes, before smooshing Claire’s face in between her hands, “Wait, if Seve and I can dream together, maybe you can join us, too! We can be ‘dream buddies,’ on top of friends!”

Claire blinks in response, trying to comprehend that. She knew it was possible to dream about other people, but could you really share a dream with someone? Not to mention, sharing a dream with two “someone’s” like them.

“Oh, let’s try it right now!”

Claire’s eyes widened at the suggestion.

“I don’t wanna…” she whimpered, “I’ll get in trouble ‘cause I slept while working…”

“Not if Seve and I can help it,” Alexis giggles, “Come on, let’s try it!”

“I can’t sleep, even if I wanted to…”

“Just leave it to me! Um, let’s see…”

Alexis lies her horn against Claire’s forehead, shutting her eyes tightly and straining to have some manner of effect. Perhaps the real Alexis could’ve had some effect with that horn, but not some robotic copy.

“Uh, I don’t think it’s working…” Seve points out, “Besides, do we really need to include her?”

“It’ll be fun, Seve!” Alexis assures, then looks at Claire, “So, is there anything that helps get ya sleepy?”

“No, I can’t…” Claire whimpers, “I gotta stay awake…”

In all honesty, even if she was allowed to sleep, Claire didn’t trust these two enough with her semi-conscious body.

“Aww, but I wanna see if we can…” Alexis pouts, then grins, "Oh, maybe we could get you a glass of warm milk or get you your own stuffed toy to sleep with!"

Claire bites her lip, realizing "No," meant: "I just need help making it a 'yes' instead!" She just shakes her head at the robot, who kept spouting off various ideas on how they could become "dream buddies."

"Oh, I've got it!" Alexis finally gasps and pulls Claire from chair to knees, "Sometimes, people get sleepy when they're rocked, right?"

Seve rolls his eyes, "You gonna sing her a lullaby, too, Mom?"

Claire grimaces at the thought, uncomfortable of being treated like an actual infant... It doesn't matter what makes her uncomfortable, as long as it makes her sleepy, however. In that stuffed animal's hug again, Claire sways back and forth, while Alexis hums and rocks on her heels. She's careful not to do it too quickly, thus sickening the other or making them fall onto each other. The tune she hums sounded familiar, reminding Claire of their originating game's music: specifically, it was a tune that felt better suited for climbing a certain anxiety-inducing tower whose fitting name contrasted with the gentler and soothing melody. Seve facepalms, disbelieving of how Alexis is actually going through with his sarcastic suggestion-- more or less. He'd better keep his yap shut, or this poor lady might actually find herself set in a crib afterwards... But then, his eyes widened at quite the surprise: Claire's own eyes actually grew heavier with each soothing sway. Soon, reality became a fleeting memory...

When Claire opened her eyes again, she stood in a strange new area: it seemed like a giant playground of sorts, with playful equipment and the surrounding fencing on the upper cliffside. However, this area was far from the innocent nature of most ones: the sky was a reddish purple, there was a desolateness outside the fencing, and there was a giant pair of dentures with a top hat and eyeballs. That last one especially creeped Claire out...

"Wow, it worked, you're really here!"

Claire turned around, facing the caprine duo; however, despite still standing no taller than before, there's a clear difference to them now… and herself, as well.

Topics: Wrestling/Savings/Phone/Shopping/Weed/Racism/Work/Housemate Hostility/More Work/“Love”(Lust) Interests/Meet-Cutes/“Love” Triangles [Ending “In shorts”]

I forgot to mention, Saturday, I got home and WOW (Women Of Wrestling) was on the CW. I was so excited. Not only because I haven’t watched professional wrestling (or is it considered amateur?) in YEARS, but because some of these girls were really HOT! It was good though.

Savings: $135 > $140

I have acquired service. I had to leave the store and walk like 30+ blocks back to my house and go into my monthly expenses (more than I thought it would be). There’s a store closer to me, but I told her I’d be back and nearly 3 and a half hours later, there I was. I received almost 2 months of service for the price of one. I was watching Instagram stories with the sound on and my housemate walked into the kitchen looking confused. I locked my phone and spent the rest of the night watching stories and tik toks with the volume lowered. I don’t want to tell her I have service, I considered not giving a fuck, but I don’t want her to further keep track of my expenses. I’ll wait a bit longer.

I stopped at the clothing store. I just wanted to look around. I wanted to get a Chicago White Sox shirt, but I hate white people and the color white was in the shirt. I DID stumble upon this Ralph Lauren Polo sweater. Haven’t seen one I liked since about 2015, it was my favorite color and about $330. I almost bought it too. This one only had a medium and an XL (or 2XL, I forgot). I estimated $80 - $150 before I checked the tag…$138.00. That is almost as much as my savings. I left the store immediately after. I previously said I wouldn’t make any unnecessary clothing purchases, as I haven’t totally debuted my other clothes. I said to myself, “I may get this later. In the coming weeks or months, I want to make sure I will have enough to be ahead in my monthly expenses.”. It may not be there in a month. I’ve decided to get it after my next pay. A Christmas gift to myself. I haven’t gotten many in the past 6 years. Maybe a couple in 2020. This will affect being ahead in December’s monthly expenses, so I will be having mostly (or only) ramen noodles in the coming weeks. It has all the colors of my new color theme, but it has a small bit of orange (which indirectly relates). I hate it still, but something told me, “One of your bitches will think it’s cute…”.

This may also halt my return to smoking weed, unfortunately.

My managers and some coworkers keep asking what I spend my money on. I think my head coach keeps wondering since I told her I never leave home really. I also lost a lot of weight in June/July when I started dieting because I quit my daily 120+ push ups a few months earlier. I think they thought my increase in pay at the time meant I was doing drugs. ONLY reason I dislike the job, the subtle racism of my head and assistant coach. I started being scheduled less after. NOW, I bring it up because every time a shift I try to pick up gets denied, someone asks about what I spend my money on. I think they think I’m a drug dealer, but I’m not clearing up SHIT! Fuck that.

I made some nachos (with Doritos) last night. After I made Bowl 3/3, my housemate said, “Mmm, what’s that? It smell gooood!”. I was thinking, “Bet it do smell good bitch, but it don’t smell like the Wi-Fi back on. Seeing as though I had to get cell phone service today.”. I just let it go. I may not be cooking again soon though. Nothing major. Ground turkey mixed with jarred salsa con queso. Looked like chili, pissed. Maybe I needed more cheese so it was more yellow and thicker, but at least the queso was warm. Still responding to the hostility.

Worst day of my life was Friday. I found out my favorite coworker smokes cigarettes. My next favorite coworker, who I said I could never fuck because her attitude sucks, asked me if she should quit today. I told her I would come to her house everyday and make her come back…I don’t even know where she lives, but I’m serious.

The manager, who I said I could never fuck ALSO, looked thick today. First time her ass has caught my attention in a while. I noticed her eyeing me when I was “interviewed”, but caught her flirting with this other guy (now fired) after my 2nd week. Probably because I wasn’t paying her attention. I have deflected compliments for almost a year now (and played dumb). I may throw her a bone (fuck up her life) now.

When I left, I passed this girl who I see every few weeks or so, who works for a non profit organization. She usually asks about my salad (which discontinued one of my favorite ingredients today) that I’m demolishing or makes the quickest 6 second conversation because I don’t stop. She almost starts “flirting”, but I don’t think she has much interracial dating experience (and she’s at work). It almost seems like she doesn’t think her pick up lines will work and gets discouraged. She’s oddly cute though.

I want to talk on the Phone/FaceTime someone(‘s girlfriend), so we can talk about how she hates him and I can leave her on paused while I watch Tik Toks. Or FaceTime me when she’s drunk (I stopped drinking entirely over a year ago). It would be nice if my other phone had service so I don’t have to, but she’ll be fine. I do have a hotspot, but how long would we be on the phone? Preferably long distance, but I don’t drive, so it’s all long distance since almost anyone would be over an hour away. I would do it with my new “favorite” coworker (TBD), D is for “Destroyed”, because every other one has pissed me off, so far, but we’re not close like that.

There’s this other girl (far fetched), but I don’t know her like that and her and her boyfriend are “in love”…my least favorite thing about her. I know she’s interested, but her attachment to him disgusts me. I know it will never end. In the end, I’m not mad. It’s just fucking and I know we click more, but I don’t interfere with those kinds of attachments.

In short, this was supposed to be 4 to 5 paragraphs and I wasn’t even going to post a chronicle today, but I felt that today could provide a great story.

CLEM: ...Not that I'm knocking the nacho cheese ones - I like the taste. It's just the texture I can't deal with. So gritty. Kinda hurts my tongue, so I'd give 'em... a seven. *Maybe* a seven-five and you think this is dumb, don't you? DAWN: No! No, as taste tests go, this is definitely one of the better ones I've been to. CLEM: I get it. No biggie. You wanna play cards? DAWN: Clem... CLEM: I can be a real boredom-buster, if you just give me half a chance.

Nickelodeon All Star Brawl

... Is a game I am definitely excited for.

And I'm actually going to do a very big post to talk about things I am hoping to see in seeing in the game.

Characters I want to see in the game

Starting off, I want to say that so far the roster is looking good especially on the Nick Toon side of things, but one thing I'm going to talk about is that the game is called Nickelodeon (not Nick Toon) All-Star Brawl, meaning that we're going to see representation from throughout the Nickelodeon line up of properties.

Characters I would like to see include

Ed from Good Burger

A live-action sit com charecter

Miko and Hector

The Game Shakers team (this will make sense later)

Rocko

Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, And Dawn

Marc Summers

A music artist/group

Po

Tigress

Skipper + The penguins of Madagascar

Otto

Timmy Turner

jimmy neutron

Henry Hart/Kid Danger and Captain Man

Harvey beaks

Nacho Libre

Rango

Otis

Tak

Dudley and Kitty

Making Fiends leads

Harriet the spy (maybe, it was the first Nickelodeon movie, so I feel obligated to put it on here)

George Lopez (also obligated because I can't remember any other original shows on Nick at night that could fit on this list.)

A Nick Jr character, probably Dora or Diego due to the movie coming out (also obligated because I feel like I should put in a Nick Jr character here)

The Thundermans or The X Family

The Supah Ninjas or Three Delivery

Kappa Mikey

Hugh neutron

Dib

Sway Sway & Beduce or Sanjay & Craig

Brendan and Evan

Adam Conover

CatDog

Squidward

Garfield

The musical versions of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy

Stages

Now, well I do know that characters are definitely a big part of a game, where they're fighting is also a big part as well

The hotel from "Hotel For Dogs"

The Irkin ship

The town from Rango

The city from Albert the Christmas tree

The Stage from the SpongeBob musical

Fairy world

The location from Rocket Power

A stage from a music concert

A location from at least one Nickelodeon licensed game

Either Retroville or the location where the climax set on Jimmy neutron the movie

The Wayne

Wayside School

A location from the Spiderwick Chronicles (I don't really know that much about the books but I do remember that the locations from the movie will be cool)

Either Double Dare, Nickelodeon arcade, Legends Of The Hidden Temple, The Crystal Maze, or Guts as a stage.

Nickelodeon animation studios

A Nickelodeon hotel or resort

Other stuff

In this game, I feel like we should have other stuff aside from the main fighting game, like mini-games and such

Things that should be included in the game, an obstacle course mode, a tournament mode, an arcade mode, a museum mode, clips from the cartoon, and lastly...

A story mode

A story mode is what I hope most for this game, something akin to the Timmy Jimmy power hour or subspace emissary. With cutscenes, a good story, and an epic villain.

Here's what I think a story should be

Throughout the Nickelodeon version of Earth, great chaos is happening, The world is slowly breaking apart due to an unknown force. It turns out this is being caused by the collector, a being who is obsessed with Nickelodeon so much in fact that he wants to take it over. Now it's up to the Nickelodeon characters to save their world before it can be put on The collector's shelf.

Now the collector is the villain I made up for this, but don't worry there will still be villains from throughout the shows but some of them will be willing to put their villainous actions decide to not be put on a shelf. I wasn't kidding when I said that the big plan is to be put on a collector's shelf.

One major part of the story is everything takes place in the same world for this game. That means that there are aliens fairies ninjas talking animals, glitched video games, and all that jazz.

A couple of examples of the world crossing over since the game has one big connected world are...

Professor membrane finally having to come to terms that the supernatural exists

Da Rules being broken causing fairy world to be revealed

The Glitch Techs in the Game Shakers forming a partnership due to the common ground of games (I said it would make sense later)

Callbacks to previous crossover events

Time travel and alternate universe shenanigans causing multiple versions of characters to coexist

How does Nickeloden exist as a Cartoon channel in Universe

In acknowledgment of how Eliza Thornberry's powers work, due to the question of whether or not you can talk to characters like SpongeBob, Garfield, the Tuff Agency or CatDog

And a solid timeline of events that happen within the show.

I hope this is pretty accurate but I don't mind some alterations to my ideas that I will happen for the final game and its possible DLC.

And that is all I have to say

Good day
