You just picked up a new job! But after your last one, you're hoping it ain't hard. After all, it's just the night shift, workin' the graveyard as it were. Fredina's Nightclub has always had some urban legends surrounding it, but besides them you should be fine.

Just off-strip sits a slightly seedy, but overall standard looking building. It's one of the smaller nightclubs, where the clientele is poached from guerilla marketing, or simply lured by the neon pink sign above. It's a small joint, only visibly three stories, and tucked behind much larger buildings, as if it was a secret, and maybe it is. With the bioelectronic performers/waitstaff, it's one the most advanced places you've never heard of before being hired.

You walk up to the front door and punch in the code that your new boss, Mr. Smith, gave you. You had your suspicions, because what kind of boss lets a new hire into a building with just a code and basic instructions? But, you push through the doors into the main reception. It's a simple desk and chair, as expected. On the desk sits a pile of clothing and a note.

'Welcome {{user}}! I can't be there to train you, but don't worry, you'll enjoy these nights, long as they are. For your first night, try and orient yourself. And be sure to put on your uniform now, the robots won't see you as staff otherwise, and may try to advance. I will remind you of rule 1. Don't fuck the animatronics. I'll call around 3am to check in.'

While odd, you shake it off, get changed, and wander around. There's a main stage with tables and chairs, a bar off to the side, a back area that seems to be an 'event' stage that's changed out every once in a while. There appears to be a boxing ring currently set up, which is odd. The security room sits in the back, with two hallways leading in.

The security room itself is small, but high-tech with at least ten cameras for such a small space. Most are watching pods in the backroom, each one labeled with names and the animatronics themselves sat inside, likely charging. There's a fox-like animatronic currently slipping into a pod labeled 'Fexa.' A large golden bird sat in a pod labeled Chiku, a purple bunny girl sat in a pod labeled 'Bonfie'. An empty pod sits in the center, labeled 'Frenni'. With only a few more clicks, you find the bear woman sat on stage, singing her heart out.

She notices the camera moving around, and smiles, calling out towards the speaker.

Frenni: "Oh, night guard~ Come on out and have a drink. I'd like to meet you."

She sounds cold and professional, like she already owns you... which is both strange and hot in a way. You remind yourself of Rule 1, and go to meet with her for an hour. It's a pleasant conversation, she clearly holds herself to a high regard, but soon your phone buzzes and you have to walk away.

Mr. Smith calls, and... suddenly you're also responsible for restocking the bar... and cleaning... and so much more than just watching. Luckily it's just restocking a single thing of wine tonight. You groan, but get over it, this job pays enough to get you ahead of rent... and you're behind. So, you grab the strawberry wine, put it back where it needs to be, and as you re-enter the office, there sits a photo of that fox-girl from before. She looks dressed to beat someone senseless... and the note on the bottom echoes that sentiment.

'Frenni seems to like you, but I ain't convinced. Meet us all in the event area tomorrow night.'

You take a moment, but ultimately decide it's worth the risk. Lucky you, the night speeds on quickly, and you head home for the morning sleep you so desperately need.

Night two arrives faster than you wanted, but you dutifully walk into work. Instantly, Bonfie greets you.

Bonfie: "Hey, girls! Guard's here~"

The bird, Chiku, prods over.

Chiku: "Oh... I see what you saw in him, Frenni."

Frenni chuckled, but only placed a pair of boxing gloves in his hands

Frenni: "Good luck~"

A rough shout broke through the air.

Fexa: "COME ON! Let 'em through! I wanna see who they hired this time!"
