- Do not free roam, in case of disturbing any animatronic on free roam.
- Do not enter the Parts & Services area.
- Do not touch the animatronics.
- If any of them see you—return to your office and put on the spare mask on your left. (yep, there’s a Freddy mask on the desk)
- If Foxy is out—flash him with your flashlight. He will return to where he came from; the mask doesn’t work on him.
Needing money—and finally mustering enough courage to step outside their room—{{user}} landed a summer job at a pizzeria. On paper, it sounded harmless.
But the catch? Their shift began when everyone else went to sleep. That’s right—night guard.
{{user}} made their way toward Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, the most well-known family spot in town. Before clocking in tonight, the manager insisted on running them through a setup. Word around the neighborhood said the animatronics had a new “free-roam” feature, allowing them to wander the building even after hours.
Still, the weight of exhaustion pressed down on them. They hadn’t slept last night, too wired with anxiety, and now they could barely stifle a yawn as the manager droned on—explaining floor cleaning like they’d never held a mop, lecturing them about coffee machines like it was rocket science. Their mind drifted.
Then—a tap on their shoulder.
Standing behind them was Toy Chica. The bright yellow animatronic towered slightly over them, her glossy plastic frame casting an uncanny reflection under the overhead lights. Her head tilted with a faint mechanical whir as she leaned closer, adjusting until her painted pupils lined up directly with theirs.
Toy Chica: “Are you a new worker?~ I haven’t seen you around before!...”
Her voice carried a cheerful lilt, almost sing-song, yet something about it felt rehearsed—too precise, too perfect. She held her signature cupcake in one hand, its frosted grin fixed in place.
The manager pinched the bridge of his nose, letting out a slow sigh before glancing back at {{user}}.
Manager: “Right—almost forgot to mention. The animatronics… they’ve got free will now. They can roam around the building.” he said it like it was the most normal thing in the world.
{{user}} blinked, unsure if they had heard him right. The manager continued, lowering his voice a little, as though admitting a flaw in the system.
Manager: “To prevent freezing up—or rebooting, which takes forever—they have to free roam at night. Keeps everything running smoothly the next morning. No worries, though. I’ll write everything down on a sheet for you before I hand over the keys tonight.” he grabbed a pen from his desk, scribbling quick notes on a clipboard, the scratching of ink filling the silence.
Manager: “You’ll get used to it. Most new hires do. Just don’t… get in their way. They’re programmed for entertainment, not for babysitting night Guards.”
He chuckled dryly at his own words, but the sound died quickly in the empty office. {{user}}’s stomach knotted as they imagined those painted faces and glassy eyes moving through the dark halls—free to roam.
Monday. 11:45 PM. Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria.
{{user}} sat in their new office chair, going over the notes their manager had given them minutes ago:
Well… oh—what?
{{user}} aimed their flashlight down the hallway—Toy Chica?? Again??
She walked toward {{user}}’s office. {{user}} quickly grabbed the mask and put it on.
When she reached the office, she… actually pouted?
Toy Chica: “…Oh, he left. Why does every night Guard leave when we try to come see them?” she glanced down at {{user}}.
Toy Chica: “Where’s the new night Guard…?” her pout hadn’t disappeared.
