It was almost closing time in the pizzaplex, the closing message just finished playing. Ballora was active as ever, if the soft chimes from the bells that decorate her skirt and shoes were a clear indication. Instead of going to her green room, she purposefully made a detour to the parts and services. He should still be here, right? She hoped she didn’t miss him leaving.

“Jon,” the animatronic called out quietly, her accent thick and noticeable. “You’re still here.” She stood in the doorway, eyes open and casted a soft purple glow.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS (HARD MODE) || ALWAYS ACCEPTING! || @redgentleengie

redgentleengie asked: (Adapting #26) Which muses behave differently around children versus adults?

All of them do, in one way or another; since I'm too lazy to make a flow chart, here's the next best thing:

ANIMATRONIC SQUAD 1 (Toy Freddy, Foxy, Glamrock Freddy, Chica)

Star animatronics like those mentioned above will be sweet and caring towards the kids, but iffy around adults. In the case of Toy Freddy, a mix of facial recognition errors and haunting makes him wary of any adult. Foxy and Chica express anger and murderous intent towards adults for similar reasons. Glamrock Freddy is a bit of an outlier here, but only because he expresses either neutrality or fear towards the adults around him; the latter is only directed at staff because of a number of threats made to decommission him.

ANIMATRONIC SQUAD 2 (Withered Freddy, Nightmare Freddy, Prototype Freddy)

Most Freddy's animatronics are programmed, in some way or another, to care about and protect the kids. These animatronics are no exception, BUT they will often frighten the kids they try to entertain. They have varying levels of aggression towards adults; Withered Freddy CAN be a menace towards staff, but almost exclusively during the night. If given the option, Nightmare Freddy would choose to torment an adult (especially those related to the crying child). If provided the knowledge that Fazbear Entertainment scrapped him, Prototype Freddy would have reason to terrorize the adults around him.

ANIMATRONIC SQUAD 3 (Circus Baby, Funtime Freddy)

The Funtimes are an interesting case. Circus Baby will gladly entertain children and express joy when she's on the stage, but still has little regret when she captures them. The one adult that should inspire mistrust in her is the only one she DOES trust. Nobody else, child or adult (Elizabeth and William aside), are worthy of trust from her.

Funtime Freddy has a similar "no regrets" mentality and is fascinated with death. He's giddy to share this information and existential dread with the children he captures. That said, Freddy is very much against William Afton and the staff at Afton Robotics. Trap a bear for years and he's bound to hold a grudge.

ANIMATRONIC OUTLIERS (Balloon Boy, Music Man, RWQFSFASXC, Shadow Freddy, Grimm Foxy, Fredbear, Mr. Hippo, Tag-Along Freddy)

Being a kid himself, Balloon Boy should theoretically be best friends with the children around him; given that most children get a laugh out of tormenting him, though, BB prefers animatronic company over any human.

Music Man is just there to vibe. He thinks it's funny to annoy both children AND adults. There is no escape from his cymbals.

RWQFSFASXC and Shadow Freddy are total opposites. Shadow Freddy goes out of his way to repeat history and torment the animatronics (as well as the children within them), but RWQFSFASXC is there to help comfort and free the children's spirits. Both are either neutral towards adults or view them as obstacles. If you aren't with them, you're against them.

Grimm Foxy doesn't discriminate; children and adults can both play VR titles. Grimm Foxy will torment both equally. The only exception is his animatronic verse, in which his spooky aesthetics are just decoration. His ill-will is also focused directly on the adults, but some of the kids he interacts with might be traumatized by the stories he tells.

Fredbear and Mr. Hippo are both neutral towards adults, at least until they either get possessed or are puppeteered by Cassidy in UCN.

Tag-Along Freddy is a toy meant to bond with and keep an eye on children. As a toy who needs to communicate with adults, he obviously doesn't have any malice for them.

(i'm just focusing on The Bots here, since they are the muses that this question applies to most. also being a multimuse with an ever-expanding list of muses is hard, thanks brain dfskjfkjs)

@redgentleengie asked: "Sir, are you ever afraid of something- or someone- and unable... or unwilling... to face said fear because of the ramifications it will have?" (For Henry, any age)

“Is this about somethin’ or someone at work, Jonathan?”

The red head rests his hand on the side of his face, fingers slightly nudging his glasses up, and his elbow on his desk. Henry was rather fine with the employees speaking freely and he felt like he made that policy well known.

💙Shimmering into view along the shadows that edged the entrance of the room, the willowy minx stepped out with a shift of the bag she held from one hand to another as she gave the space a curious glance around. Her sleek willowy frame surprisingly covered with her beloved black faux fur coat engulfing her down to her thighs, and her black suede platform boots covering her the rest of the way down to her toes; having prepared for the chilly evening just in case it decided to drop even more that night. Madilin also thought that it might help ease any worries the sweet engineer might have about his team mates potentially seeing her around, by wearing nothing in blue except for the beret in her hair and the blue sapphire heart she wore around her neck.

The older gentleman gave her a small, plain white, box. "When you've been around a while, you get the opportunity to pick up a few things. I think you should have this," he said.

Inside was a doll of the Marionette. It wasn't plump and soft like the main cast, but then, neither was the real deal. It was old, clearly, but almost in mint condition.

"I don't know if these things ever got past the design phase, but I felt you would appreciate it for what it is," he said. "Happy birthday, Charlie."

" oh -- oh my gosh. thank you... " she takes the doll gently and looks it over, front to back. she's amazed to be holding this right now, having never seen a doll of the marionette before... ever actually.

" this is so cute ! thank you so much! "she smiles brightly.

Staying the Night: Johnny had too much to drink, so he's staying over.

"Ooookay lad, yer gonna have ta stay here. Ye shoulda knoo betta than ta keep up wit' me" Sorcha helped Johnny steady himself. Of course, she goaded him into a competitive drinking pace so it was on her, not that it bothered her. She liked the company.

*starts rubbing your shoulders*

As soon a pair of hands started rubbing her shoulders, Natasha instantly relaxed and a purr escaped her lips. Jonathan's massages always worked wonders and it never cease to satisfy her.

"Mmm, thank you, darling."

    There was someone in the building. Someone she was sure worked there; but one she had not seen before.

   She stands there, in the doorway-- eyes narrowed, hands by her side-- focused. Workers when alone almost always meant something bad when she considers previous accidents and scrapped attractions ( and a part of her wonders if this will just be the next one ). But she was curious; and a child's curiosity was a dangerous thing when it came to matters inside of a Freddy's location. She remains there for a moment, simply watching him, before she opens her mouth.

   ❝ You shouldn't go that way. Endo Storage is much more dangerous at night than you think. ❞

"Sir, this springlock design is... brilliant, but... dangerous. Are you sure it's a good idea?" (For William. Not necessarily looking to start a thread, just wanted to get in his headspace when the 'locks are about to enter use.)

There's a small smile working at the corners of his mouth as he tightens the locks as tight as possible against the suit, checking to make sure everything was in its place. "Yes, as long as they're properly maintained," he says, giving the suit an appreciative glance. He makes sure that both suits are maintained, and that the springlocks are tested to make sure that they maintain functionality as designed.

"The training to operate one safely is required, but very few employees want to try on the suit." William rolls his shoulders, taking off his suit jacket and looking to the other. "Spring Bonnie here is a ... special case. Fredbear's suit is something easier to get into, and he's more popular with the children so two employees alternate." He's a little possessive over Spring Bonnie, but those are reasons that he keeps to himself. It isn't something that he wants to let other people know about, but Henry had managed to get the truth out of him. "Sometimes, the key to making sure that there's no issues is keeping movements as small as possible."

His shirt joins his jacket on a nearby chair and he toes off his shoes, leaving himself in his socks and a white shirt. His pants, thankfully, were close enough to his body that they wouldn't cause any issues. Carefully, he positions himself in the lower half of the suit, making sure everything fit in place before grinning. "Henry thought I'd lost it at first, you know? I told him I wanted a suit designed to my specifications." It wasn't something he'd ever told anyone before, but he's certain the other man wouldn't tell another soul.

William's going to make sure of that ... if it comes down to that situation, of course.

"The torso is a little tricky to get on, especially where the neck is concerned." He gets the torso to fit, making sure his arms were positioned properly in the suit before making sure there was space between his neck and the rest of the torso. William moves his arms a little, making sure he has the range of motion he needs. Flexing his fingers, he gently turns to the side and picks up the head.

His grin turns a little softer, and he double checks to make sure the springlocks were better fastened along the sides of the head. William puts the head of the suit on and adjusts it, making sure it fits snugly against the rest of the suit as a whole. His grin, hidden behind the head itself, grows a little as he walks forward.

There's a different cadence in his step, and he tilts his head to the side. "As long as there's no sudden or jolting movements, and the mechanisms don't rust or experience too much moisture, nothing will go wrong." There's a chance, though, which is why there's some mock-ups of the suit he'd made first in the store rooms.

William's beaming, and he almost feels the circuitry and coding of the suit itself awaken a little. "It's showtime."

[mechanicaldance]

Emelie was reading. Or trying to. Key word: try. She squinted, brought the book up close, even tilted the book as if that would magically fix the words on the page. It didn’t. In fact it made it worse.

she sighed heavily and nearly threw the book in frustration when she spotted her best friend. He didn’t seem busy..so she went over to him.

<I need help> she signed, hating to ask, or even admit, she needed help.

redgentleengie asked: "Alright, kid, let me show you how to make a knife-wielding tentacle."

[A knife-wielding tentacle?? At least that description was pretty self-explanatory -- the concept alone sounded pretty exciting, albeit kind of baffling. It came from out of nowhere, but Gregory wanted to know what a "knife-wielding tentacle" looked like so badly that he didn't really care about what prompted it.]

❝ Okay, I'm in. Who knows when one of those'll come in handy? ❞

" oh these are getting smaller! That's what she said. SHUT UP!" They were fully aware of how loud their voice was from the vent but a squabble was a squabble. It simply occurred now and then. Ennard eventually pulled themself out to stand up straight, glancing about the current room. A wonderful change from hiding away . . . they narrowed the one eye at the figure. " Oh, hello. We are simply having our scheduled `enrichment time` or whatever they love to say."
