jtta newspaper club assemble!! 🗞️

designs updated! note: while mephisto is the shortest (standing) member, i also accidentally drew him a bit too small in proportion with the others. i would've resized him but it pixelates the hell out of the poor boy

#newspaper club #art #if you look closely you can see that they all wear matching earrings in their respective colours #also wiz and alecto have matching chokers that have ornaments on the back that make a heart when you put them together #obey me oc #jtta mephisto #jtta astaroth #jtta wiz #jtta alecto #the stickers on astaroth's wheelchair were picked out by the others #cat's from wiz / shooting star's from mephisto / monocle creature's from alecto #(last one's probably obvious since it's also on her shirt) #the monocle creature is like a merch mascot in the devildom. sorta like hello kitty #it originates from a game of monopoly that somehow got down into the devildom ages ago #the monopoly guy's design proved popular and over time it evolved into monocle creature #the monocle creature's name is monogoblin #mephisto specifically added the ribbons to his outfit so that he'd be coordinated with his camera btw #wiz's cloak sparkles and astaroth's bracelet glows in the dark #sorry just adding all my extra little thoughts on Them #aalso important note that alecto embroidered the flowers on her trousers herself

I don't know if I have posted abt this before but I really hate this "pre-order now and we will never produce this again" merch stuff going on with Youtooz and Makeship. Like, I don't know why it's an issue with them in particular cuz I'm always fine when a Youtuber produces their own limited-release merch but the second it's by Youtooz or Makeship I feel gross. Anyways all this to say the fact that Tumblr partnered with Youtooz has me hysterical this is such an L.

#ramblings #i have. a lot of hatred for this `limited release preorder` shit specifically because of how prevalent it is at the moment #limited release merch preys on the fear of missing out so it makes me feel real scummy when it feels more prevalent than ever #like. if wiz can repeatedly work with makeship for plush preorders why can they not like. sell non-limited release merch #SPECIFICALLY plush and figure stuff. like they *do* already have a store you can buy pins and shirts n shit from #how hard is it to like. have SOME alternative up. idk maybe im spoiled by the prevalence of like. funko merch being everywhere #it just. it feels a way you know. idk how to describe it any better than this

✶ ┄ I LIKE YOUR FACE !

summary: eddie and his cynical eyes have a confession to make pairing: eddie munson / f!reader word count: 0.7k a short and sweet lil thing warnings: just tooth rotting fluff <3 a/n: i need this man like i need to breathe at this point ..

( MASTERLIST )

“I like your face,” Eddie confesses in the faintest, gentlest murmur a loudmouth like him can muster.

It hangs in the humid air of both your breaths and lingers beneath the thin sheet looming over the two of you. He smells faintly of beer and weed and the mint gum he chewed in attempts to get rid of it all, and you of the chocolate chip cookies you scavenged from his pantry like a person starved.

It’s getting hot and harder to breathe beneath the covers, in this impenetrable fortress you’d made out of blankets as old as the both of you. From where your legs are twisted together like pretzels, you can feel skin going sticky with a fine sheen of sweat. But neither of you are eager to leave; to pierce the bubble of peace surrounding his stained mattress like a summer cloud, with the both of you upon it.

You want this moment to last as long as the universe will allow it to.

You grow somehow warmer at the compliment. You tuck your face into the pillow beneath your head in a fruitless attempt to run away from his words.

Eddie’s hand rises from where it was twisted in the thin cotton of your t-shirt — an oversized piece of Blondie merch from a few years back he picked up for you at a thrift store; “Made me think of you,” he shrugged like it was normal for him to exist and see bits of you all around him.

His fingers crawl into your hair and settle at the roots, resting between the strands like they were made to do it. It sends a soft tingle down your spine.

You fear if you close your eyes for too long, you’ll fall asleep. That frightens you. It means, when you wake up, that this nirvana will be a memory.

You shift your head on the cushion to peek one eye over at him, all shy and cheeks pink with it.

“Do you think I’m pretty?” you wonder aloud. It sounds more pathetic leaving your mouth that it did jumbling around in your head.

You can’t help it, though. You need to hear it more than you need to breathe. Of course, I do. You’re the prettiest thing these cynical eyes have ever seen.

Eddie doesn’t say that. Not any of it. Not even close.

He only shrugs and juts his lip out like he’d never thought about it once. “I guess so,” he concludes. “If you want me to.”

Maybe he feels you stiffen from next to him. Or maybe he hears the way your breath catches in your throat. Perhaps it’s all of those things and the flash of hurt that strikes across your features like lightning. Because Eddie goes lax with a sigh, realizing how it sounded coming out of his mouth — more pathetic than yours. 

He was never a wiz with words. That’s probably why he can’t seem to pass Ms. O’Donnell’s. Give him a D&D board, a beat up journal, and a campaign idea and he’s golden. But put a pretty girl in front of him and a heart so full he’s scared it might burst and he’s done for.

“It’s more than that, though,” he whispers. The breath of his admission brushes featherlight across your cheek. “It’s more than beauty... There’s a— I don’t know— like, a kindness to your face, you know? You look at me so soft sometimes, and no one’s… No one’s ever looked at me that way before. 'S nice.”

You feel your throat run dry like a barren creek at his honesty.

You’re not sure how he can say any of this with the way he’s looking at you.

His got this lopsided smile on his lips, pink and wet from where his tongue darted out to wet the chapped skin. His cheeks are splotched with red from the heat of the trailer and the blanket that nurses the two of you into the warmth of its velvet arms. Bathed in an amber light that seeps from his lamp and through the thin sheets, his gaze twinkles like that of a glimmering moon.

The entire universe swims in his eyes, and he’s looking at you with them. You're grateful for the chance to float in their infinity.

A kind face, you think to yourself. Hmm.

You’d never thought about it like that before. Albeit, you were never the kindest to yourself. That’s why you so often sought affirmation from the boy beside you, who held all his love in his hands and so-called cynical eyes.

Sometimes you didn’t think you were pretty, let alone beautiful. But kind? Soft? That’s so much better.

tbe fact that wiz barely has good merch other than the plushies is crazy to me but im actually a bit grateful for it because autism hungry and I'd never be able to handle it if they had actually compelling merch options

#w101 #wizard101

[that-wizard-oki]

Just wanted to respond to a comment i got on my recent art post. Not gonna @ the person cause I don’t want them to get any bad attention, but they brought up some concerns that I wanted to debunk/explain a bit.

As far as I know, we unfortunately can’t change/get rid if the gender binary because wiz is almost 15 years old- it runs on very, very old tech. Player Gender is kind of hard wired into the game (a decision made by someone wayyy back in 2005-2008). Same goes for the color (like boys not being able to wear pink). It’s not that we don’t want to make these changes, it’s because the tech literally inhibits us from doing so, and to change that would be an absolutely monumental task that would require a looot of time, from my understanding.

However, i do believe that a name change feature is coming sometime soon (i think this was talked about on KI live not too long ago). Our more recent gear sets for players also feature less “apparent” differences between the female and male players, which i feel help close the binary gap a bit compared to the game’s early years. Girls can wear pants, boys can wear dresses.

Despite our tech keeping us from being as representative as we’d like to with our players, I think we do a decent job of adding representation elsewhere in the game. Some examples- Phileas Dogg in Novus is canonically nonbinary, and uses they/them pronouns. Duck Savage outwardly flirts with Wilma Deering in Lemuria as well.

Secondly, sales on our pride merchandise is donated to Outright International (its either 50% or all proceeds, I can’t remember which)- KI has done this for the past several years. So by having this merch, we’re able to provide rep for players to show off on their characters, in their houses, and also put it towards an organization that actively supports the queer community. We also will be hosting a charity livestream in June to donate as well.

I understand this person’s concern, but game development is NOT that straightforward, especially with such an old game like Wizard101 that was initially built in a decade were queer voices were not as visible as they are today. While we can always learn and grow, it is my opinion that KI does a pretty decent job with supporting their queer players and the community.

Also, as far as my art of Ambrose wearing rainbow suspenders and a trans youth support shirt- it was just for fun. I’m a queer lesbian who’s been playing this game for 14 years and found comfort in it during my own dark times as a queer kid. I didn’t draw it to pander to anyone, I drew it for me, and for the other queer fans who like this game. That is all.

Hope this clears up some confusion for others who might have had similar concerns.

#oki says a thing #being 100% transparent btw I’m not mad at the person that left this comment. i am only providing some context and explination #anywhos- happy pride month y’all! be gay do magic

ryan ross iceberg (tier 4)

tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, tier 5, tier 6, tier 7, tier 8

the middle of the iceberg:

crankthatfrank interview:

crankthatfrank is a youtuber who had his peak of popularity in 2015-2017 making what was described as “bandom crack” content. a lot of yeemo, cheez wiz, frerard, etc. i personally wasn’t a fan of his content (i think i was just too old to be in his demographic (and i thought it was cringey)), but he was fairly successful within that community. i don’t really know how else to describe his content other than you had to be there.

in 2019, he interviewed ryan, which was actually a really good interview! it was very lighthearted without being too silly and off the wall, like bryan stars interviews were. it was such a pleasant surprise, especially considering the way ryan stans are starved for content. throughout the interview, ryan holds z in his arms the whole time while she cosplays as a corpse so that was interesting. also, ryan revealed his favorite song off of afycso is i constantly thank god for esteban. he said 2020 was going to be the year for the comeback.

that was a lie.

frank sadly deleted the original video, but there is a reupload, thankfully. i highly recommend watching the interview if you haven’t yet!

hair in cupcakes:

so it’s unclear if the hair was in cookies or cupcakes because sources differ, but the sentiment is the same either way. in an interview from 2013, brendon said that in the early days of the band, some fans baked them cookies, and brendon and their merch guy ate them [i]. brendon saw a hair in the first cookie, but kept eating them anyway. he says, “i kept pulling hairs out of my mouth and after no.10 i asked the merch guy if he was pulling hairs out of his mouth and he was” [i]. there turned out to be hairs in every single cookie. ryan also talked about in the paige and friends podcast, which is the next entry [ii].

paige and friends podcast:

also in 2019, ryan featured on the paige and friends podcast, run by paige elkington (ryan really had us fooled for a minute there that 2020 WOULD be his year). they talked some about the panic! and the young veins days, dekc, his sobriety, his absence from the internet, hockey, politics, amongst other things. this was another great “interview” and a fun look into some slice of life things from ryan, so i also recommend giving it a listen here [ii].

chuck palahniuk:

this is one of ryan’s favorite authors – definitely his favorite in the early days of panic! (he is also my favorite author, as is the natural course of being a ryan ross stan). some of his works include: invisible monsters, fight club, choke, and survivor. his writing is primarily satirical with a very distinct voice.

his works were referenced a lot in afysco. time to dance is about invisible monsters, and the song title “the only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage” is a quote from survivor. some of ryan’s other songwriting on that album is evidently inspired by palahniuk’s style of writing.

pet salamander:

this was one of ryan’s bands before panic!. spencer and brent were also in this band, along with another member named trevor. they were often called a blink 182 cover band, but spencer stated that this actually isn't true. they just practiced a lot of blink 182 songs when learning how to play [iii].

their website is still up, and it includes some pictures of the band and each member. it also even contains ryan's old email, discussed in tier 3, at the bottom.

since the member bios aren’t on the site anymore, they are documented here [iv].

his other band isn't on the iceberg, but it was called the summer league. it was basically panic! before panic! actually existed. their sound wasn't similar to what panic!'s was, but it was essentially all the same members.

kanye west stan:

stan is a very loosely used term here, but ryan has said that he likes kanye’s music, and he owns some stuff from his clothing line.

taxidermy:

as you can see in some of ryan’s Instagram posts, he has a lot of taxidermy in his house.

hooters:

in 2010, ryan and brendon ran into each other at a hooters. if i’m not mistaken, i think this is the the last picture we have of them together.

rydan:

this refers to ryan and his friend, dan keyes. ryan posted about him a lot in the 2010s, and he was a member of dead end kids as well. i think the mashup of their names mostly refers to their friendship, but there are people who think they genuinely dated. this tweet here, as well as the replies, references that [v]. it’s also discussed in this tumblr post [vi].

club hockey:

ryan plays club hockey. he actually started playing hockey as a child, and he talks about his love for hockey in the paige and friends podcast.

alex greenwald:

i’ve already mentioned him before in this iceberg, but alex is one of ryan’s good friends and the frontman of phantom planet (you may know this band from the OC theme song). he played with the young veins sometimes, and he played with z’s former band, phases. we’ll talk about him some more in later entries as well.

helena vestergaard:

this is another one of ryan’s ex girlfriends. they dated in 2015, and he first posted about her on instagram in july. his last post of her was in december that year. i don’t really have much to say about this relationship besides she seemed like a really nice girl. these days she has 2 kids. she also used to date anthony kiedis from red hot chili peppers, which is very interesting.

coke picture:

so not too long after ryan left panic!, a picture came out of him with cocaine on a tray in front of him. this was very controversial, and he even commented on it explaining himself here [vii]. i don’t really understand why he had to explain himself though. i am no means a drug apologist (i’m literally straight edge) and i know drugs are bad, but i don’t think he did anything wrong. in the post i linked above, he says he didn’t realize the coke was in the picture, which may or not be true, but if it is, then he might not have even done it.

all he did was be surrounded by beautiful women and do cocaine. what is so wrong with that.

myrtle beach:

this is a ryden entry and basically a theory that ryan and brendon hooked up.

on june 24th, 2006 panic! played the house of blues in myrtle beach, south carolina (and i have been to this venue because i’m from sc…). after the show, panic!, the supporting acts, and crew went skinny dipping at the beach.

greta said this in an interview about it [viii]:

Q: Tell us about your craziest touring experience.

On the 2006 Panic Tour, we played the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach [JUNE 24TH]. After the show, most of the bands and crew walked a mile to the beach and, having not brought our swimsuits, decided to swim in underwear or totally nude. Bob and I opted to skinny dip and, at one point, he was trying to get back to the shore but the waves were crashing over him and he was gasping for breath. I yelled to him, 'Bob, are you going to live? As much as I want to help you, we are both naked so I can't.' (Would have been far too awkward). Thankfully, he survived in one glorious piece.

the thing that really led to rydennies thinking that something happened between ryan and brendon was what ryan posted on lj about it [viii]:

6-25-06 01:21:28 PDT - (No Subject)

The moon bred new Atlantic life tonight.the salt burned you right out of my eyes.and secrets we’re not proud of were taken with the tide. We were all newborns with blurred vision and no sense of direction.

Today I saw cancer, cigarettes and shortness of breath.

this is why I walk to the ocean.swim with jellyfish.I may never get this chance again.

this is why if you want to kiss you should kiss.

If you want to cry you should cry, and

if you want to live you should live.

You don’t have to love me. You already did. At least enough to keep me smiling from South Carolina to Virginia.it's for lovers (orjustfriends)

This is why I do it.

this also lead to the idea that summer was a very important motif for ryden; any references to the season in their lyrics or other postings meant they were talking about each other.

another part that people often cite as proof in that in this interview, the interviewer says they claim brendon is a virgin on stage every night, and ryan says “not anymore” at 01:36. so people think brendon lost his virginity to ryan.

and then the night of the show of the dancers on tour with them, dream, posted this on her lj [viii]:

June 24th, 2006

It’s our last night in Florida and let me tell you… this finally turned into a crazy rock tour… lots of shenanigans happened tonight… but I’ll save this story for the memoirs! Every night I stand on stage and tell the crowd that Brendon is a virgin… let’s just put it this way… it ain’t true!!!!

since this was posted the night of the mb show, she was talking about the florida show, which would already debunk that brendon could’ve lost it to ryan after the mb show. she also said in another post the next night that they met some spirited girls at the show and more than 20 of them went to the beach that night [viii].

honestly, there is no true supporting evidence to prove that anything sexual or romantic happened between them. both of them were probably talking about the girls they met at the show, or one of the other 20 people who were there.

seattle:

another ryden theory i fear.

so the story goes that on the night of ryan’s 21st birthday, keltie threw him a party at pete wentz’s bar. brendon couldn’t attend because he was in seattle (people theorized it was because he was too young to drink). after the party was over, ryan left keltie alone in their hotel in the middle of the night to fly out to see brendon. they went to eat at a diner together, and a fan spotted them, giving us this picture.

this was allegedly what ryan wrote northern downpour about, such as the lines, “i missed your skin when you were east. you clicked your heels and wished for me.” also, rainy seattle is in the north.

when i was a ryden truther, i always said that this was the one ryden incident there was not a no homo explanation for. however, that is not true.

panic! was playing a festival in seattle a couple of days later. in fact, there is an interview from august 31, the day after ryan’s birthday and the day before the show, in which they’re wearing the same outfits from that picture.

the northern downpour theory also doesn’t make sense because ryan was in the east, not brendon. and ryan wrote the song.

if you’re interested in a further debunking of this, prettyoddfever details it here [ix].

halsey ryden truther:

when i say that halsey and i are spiritually connected, i mean it.

in 2013, halsey tweeted that ryden is still her otp.

and then in 2015, they responded to a fan saying that she used to write ryden fic.

also in 2015, ryan tweeted at them saying that they should work together. oh what could have been…

slow dance to the killers:

yet another ryden entry.

in a kerrang! article from 2006, it says this [x]:

all i really have to say about this is that automatically assuming this must mean ryden is real plays into why men think they can’t be affectionate with one another without seeming “gay.”

cheated on keltie:

in her book, which we discussed earlier, keltie revealed that ryan cheated on her with a waitress. she found out about it the day after valentine’s day when she was looking through his phone.

she says [xi}:

I honestly can’t and don’t want to remember what I saw that day, but the dates registered with me. I saw the date of my birthday two weeks before, the day I received two huge bundles of flowers while spending time with my family in Canada. He was with her on my birthday. I scrolled back farther and realized he texted her while we were on vacation in Hawaii. He sang me love songs on the beach while also thinking about some girl.

he wrote about his infidelity in the young veins song, the other girl [xii].

this isn’t particularly relevant, but i did want to include one of my favorite tweets about this just because it lives in my head rent free.

next we move on to some of the darker entries.

[alphagodith]

over 20 years after the show aired i finally have some official? merch to show my love...

the big resin statue was the last i could find ANYWHERE online, and it came with a card saying it was 13 out of 70... definitely the fanciest collectible thing i own. one of his zippers was broken when it arrived, but i did my best to reattach it and it’s mostly hidden by his staff so, for a last-minute purchase i still consider it a win.

the smaller statue was a LOT smaller than expected after getting the big one, but it’s still great quality and i love having such different vibes! it didn’t want to stay on its stand so i did have to scrape out the holes in the bottom a bit with an exacto knife and then glue it in place, but it works.

i still want to try making a better gatomon plushie to go with the wizardmon one- i prefer more detail than the one i got has but it was the only one i could find that was close to the right size to match wizardmon, and his design is way too complex for me to make myself.  

now i just need to get an actual gatomon from the og card set to go with my wizardmon, and maybe a new wiz and gato from the newer sets.

Back again with another unused headcanon for Detective AU: Shiver originally applied to Ancho-V games as a concept artist for Tableturf. They were rejected but another employee at Ancho-V stole their designs and used it for card art. In a fit of spite, they made a bunch of counterfeit cards and sold them for a maximum profit. Because it was impossible to tell legitimate copies from counterfeit ones the company had to discontinue the card. Thus the beginning of their Criminal Career.

Anon, anon ur brain, im,,, thank u,,, ughdhdb i love it,

ok ok, second criminal act

shiver also sees how many "giveaways" and other stolen art turned merch without the public's knowledge. they end up, with the help of tech wiz big man, end up hacking into their database and end up taking over the social media accounts posting the documents leaking how much they made and how its stolen udhdh

I just got my Yuri photobook today she looks so cute

Do you collect any albums or merch?

u know I've been DMing the shop I bought from like every day since the announcement first came out 😭😭😭 they did say NETA but like it's been a couple weeks since the units actually got to my country they just weren't shipping them

I make it a point to at least collect one album each of Yuri's! I got into iz*one merch too late so I only have the POBs from One Reeler and a wiz*bong, and my favorite photo card is Yuri's album pc from Oneiric Diary (the one with the cake)

Aside from that I also have woo!ah!'s latest album Pit-a-Pat bc I just discovered them at the time and found out they were so damn nugu I couldn't help but fall in love too 😭😭

*Cracks knuckles*

I was given permission to ramble by ggladiolus, so brace yourselves for a rambling.

Alrighty so Squid House AU. Set obviously in Splatoon's Inkopolis where most of our beloved cast of characters are Inklings. Fashion and trends are all the rage; being fresh is king/queen and Turf Wars are where it's at. And Luz Noseada (not sure how I feel about that one, I'll be honest) is a recently escaped Octoling under the care of resident "unfresh" street merchant Eda Flowthrone (going to quit while I'm ahead here with these last names).

Luz: Definitely an octoling and is very impressed by the surface world. She is incredibly inventive and was probably getting in trouble because she kept building "useless" things like music players, disco balls, and other oddities instead of weapons. Almost escaped Octovalley by herself but got caught by Eda during the last part of her escape. Obsessed with the Squid Sisters and any piece of the Good Squid Azura merch she can get her claws on.

Eda: The most "unfresh" inkling adult around due to her weird "Authentic" human and Octoling artifacts she sells just off the corner of the Square...also because a couple of kids caught her dumpster diving behind the Square and that time she fist fought an old man and nearly lost. Despite her reputation somehow she is super popular with a certain crowd. She lives outside of Inkopolis in her own house with her "apprentice" Luz and King. Her curse comes in the form of an unnaturally large squid form and incredible bouts of hunger.

King: Seemingly a smallfry salmonid who has no idea he is a salmonid. Nor the fact that he is going to get much, Much, bigger. He is still a child and views Eda as his mother. She actually "Rescued" him from a Grizco ship, one she totally wasn't robbing. Still has delusions of grandeur with him leading armies of loyal fanatics against any and all opposition...which is only slightly worrying considering what he will eventually grow into. Eda tries to shield him from Grizco and Inkopolis in general. Becomes terrified of other salmonids after he follows Luz and her friends on a Salmon Run, and none of them have a good time.

Willow: A inkling who was bullied relentlessly for being bad at turf war mostly due to outdated gear. Her Dads are also not the best off so she can't stay "fresh" with Inkopolis's rapidly changing fashion trends. Luz tries to help her earn a lot of G's by cheating (Luz didn't realize at the time that modding sanctioned turf gear was illegal) and to get back at the bullies she saw mocking her. Bump saw Willow's potential and got her a roller, which she excelled with, and agrees to form a team with Luz after Luz's suspension gets lifted. Willow helps out in the community gardens and is actually trying to breed her own sea kelp. Possibly into cooking, maybe a vegetarian?

Gus: Human and Octoling eccentric and prodigy special effects artist also a wiz in his general studies. Course he is also 12 and doubts if he even wants to be in film anymore. Almost a staple customer at Eda’s stall, he got into film/editing by making Squidtube (inktube?) videos about Octoling conspiracy theories, his most popular being that Octolings had venomous beaks (Luz confirmed it and he freaked). Might be moving onto Grizco and Belos Ink. conspiracies after some influence of Eda. He doesn't have the best control over his transformations but he tries to main Duelies when he is allowed to Turf. *Edit He mains sloshers because it's like a human bucket

Amity: Is a rising star by her Mother's design. Heiress of Blight Industries (If anyone can make Blight a sea pun I'm all ears because Saltspite is my best one and it's two words not one) Odalia plans on having Amity become a pop star to promote the family's ink weapons on a grander scale. Amity absolutely hates it. The photo shoots, the commercials, the company jiggle, she hates it all but she especially hates the turf war team her mother forces her to play on and the constant pressure to keep her image up. It makes school miserable too since everyone knows who she is and she has to avoid bad rumors and disasters constantly. She'd much rather be inventing things like she does in her very limited free time in her father's workshop. So when Luz crashes into her life, has no idea who she is supposed to be, challenges her to a duel, cheats with an ingenious mod she's never seen before, stops a public disaster, and gifts her the newest Good Squid Azura, all the while not caring if she was "fresh" or not? Well, consider Amity "hooked"

 When Gregory woke up he was laying on a sleep mat, a pillow under his head. He was in the maintenance hatch space with the still offline dj, Sun and Monty who was trying to help Sun get the gunk off him from the garbage basement. They seem to be using cleaning supplies. Gregory sat up. Sun spotted him and waved.

“ Oh hello Gregory! Are you feeling better?” Monty handed Sun the rag he was using and moved to the boy.

“ We thought you were Dead when Moon Came out of the service lift,” he sat down next to him, “ you think you’re up for a shower? We snagged you some clothes from the Lost n found, no one will miss em,” Monty jerked a thumb back at Sun who held up a shopping bag they had nearby. Gregory nodded, slowly getting to his feet. Monty stood.

“ Yo! Roxy you’re up,” Monty calls, Gregory froze and then followed Monty's gaze to see Roxanne wolf leaning against the wall. She pushed off it and made her way to him.

“ Hey,” She greeted awkwardly. Gregory swallowed.

“ hi,” he shrunk in on himself. Monty paused.

“ would you rather I take you to the showers?” Monty asked, Gregory shook his head.

“ no this… is is okay,” Gregory nodded, taking the shopping bag from Sun.This awkward transition was normal at this point. Roxy nodded, and gestured for him to follow, “ So… what happened?” he asked Roxy hesitated before she responded.

“ PSOS chip,” Roxy answered. Gregory gulped, guilt filling him again, “ I know it was an accident,” Roxy assured him, Mappy passed them as they walked towards the locker rooms, arms full of cables and pieces.

“ Take a map,” he said in greeting. Gregory watched Mappy wiz towards the hide away.

“ What’s he doing?” Gregory asked, Roxy shrugged.

“ Probably irritating Moon, he keeps messing with Dj, and Moon Gets ticked every time,” Gregory hummed. After a pause Gregory heard Sun shouting at  Mappy.

“ Moon said stop!!!” Gregory stifled a giggle. Roxy snickered.

“ It is kinda funny, anyway Freddy is trying to help Bonnie get the Fox parts up here,” Gregory nodded.

“ How did Freddy take seeing Bonnie,” he asked Roxy scoffed.

“ Well I suppose? He cried and hugged him for like twenty minutes, oh and Monty went ahead and won you a new watch with the leftover tokens,” Gregory tried to imagine the gator playing the drop ball game.

“ Did the game survive,” Gregory asked. Roxy smirked at him.

“ No. You’ve got a stockpile of like ten by the way,”  she gestured to the bag, Gregory peeked in and saw about ten prize balls sitting on top of clothes. 

“ Rip drop ball machine,” Gregory said, examining the cartoon faces.

“ yep it's so sad and Dj can’t play despacito,” Roxy responded.

“ F in chat,” Gregory picked up a gold one and saw a Foxy sticker on it, “ Oh cool, Sun wasn’t kidding,” Roxy leaned over.

“ oh that IS cool,” They reached the showers where Gregory got the gunk from the night's mishaps off and changed into a Freddy shirt, A Superstar Daycare varsity style jacket, and a pair of Monty tan scale pattern pants. Gregory was also given Roxy socks, Chica sunglasses, Bonnie fingerless gloves and Djmm themed headphones. Gregory stared at the Merch. 

“ Roxy? “ He called.

“ Yea,” 

“ Was all of this really in lost and found or did you guys just want me to wear something with all your faces on it,” Roxy laughed.

“ Little of both, personally I think my merch looks cooler,” Gregory scoffed in response, putting on the gloves and the Foxy Faz-watch and let Roxy lead him back to Parts and Service   where they found Chica, Bonnie, Freddy and a still very offline and broken Foxy. Freddy smiled when he saw them.

“ Gregory! Are you feeling alright, “ He asked, “Moon said you were in pain,” Gregory flushed at the realization that all of these guys fussed over him while he was out. 

“ Yeah Freddy I’m fine,” he turned to Chica and Bonnie, “ need me to fix you guys? “ He asked. Chica nodded while Bonnie looked uncertain. 

“ Gregory is quite the little technician!” Freddy assured, Bonnie  shifted nervously but nodded. It didn’t take long to patch Chica up, Bonnie took a bit because Freddy had to find Bonnie’s spare arm and ear which was another hassle.

“ I should make Monty come find it,” He exclaimed in frustration. As he, Roxy and Chica all looked around on the floor, “ He’s the one that kicked the box!” Roxy pointed to a large toolbox/workspace 

“ There! “ Chica stood and lifted the box so Roxy could reach under it and retrieve the ear while Gregory finished patching the arm. 

Once Bonnie was fixed Bonnie announced that he had to go back to the trash basement. 

“ Vanny is doing something down there Fred I can’t just leave it,” he said, Freddy hummed, a sad expression on his face.

“ Is there any way we can help?” Freddy asked Bonnie hummed.

“ Maybe I dunno,” Freddy took Bonnie’s hand.

“ Come back to the others with me, and we can brainstorm! She won’t get away with this- “ a loud sound of someone clearing their throat cut Freddy off. They all turned to see Vanessa standing there. Bags under her purple eyes, and a bruise forming on the left side of her face,though Gregory couldn’t remember if it had always been there or if she had gotten it during the night. Her blond hair a mess.

“ somehow. I’m not surprised.” She grabbed Gregory’s arm before he could get out of her reach, “ you four,” Vanessa stated pointing at them, her eyes narrowed, “ are in so much trouble.”

“ WAIT officer Vanessa you can't- “ She turned sharply, dragging Gregory with her.

“ Now wait you can't!” Bonnie grabbed Gregory’s arm to stop her, and she turned back like she expected this and stabbed her taser right into Bonnie’s shoulder. Bonnie stiffened and went off line and fell over. Chica and Roxy knelt down to help Bonnie while Freddy followed Vanessa.

“ Officer Vanessa be reasonable “ Gregory pulled on his trapped arm. Managing to press his call button on his watch. Every call button. Vanessa got to the main stage before Monty and Sun came sprinting towards them. Bonnie, Roxy Freddy and Chica on the other side of them. Sun stopped, his blue pupils shrank as he stared at her.

“ you…” Sun stated, Vanessa glared at him.

“ What?” she snapped, “ look all of you are getting on my nerves,” Vanessa warned. Sun stepped closer pointing at the bruise still forming on her cheek. 

“ It was you! '' Gregory gaped. The bruise was on the same side Sun had slapped Vanny hours before. Gregory tried to pull himself free.

“ Let me go you psycho!” Gregory growled, punching her hand, Freddy stepped closer.

“ look officer Vanessa-'' She turned on him, taser in hand.

“ you save it, and you,” she turned on Sun who didn’t flinch. His eyes were filled with rage, “ Better start making sense or I’ll-,” Sun growled, a sound no one expected  from the sunshine character. 

“ You hacked my brother.” Sun snarled, “ you hurt my kids, you hacked my friends! You hacked my boyfriend,” Sun was visibly shaking  “ You tried to dismantle me,” Vanessa stared at him.

“ I have no idea what you are talking about.” She stated. Sun stood there shaking, then he laughed in an almost menacing way. “Hickory...  Dickery.” Sun tilted his head more to the side with each word, his pupils halved as if bottom lids were up. 

The Atrium plummeted into darkness as the lights went out. Gregory looked at his watch. Five am.

“ Dock.” Moon snarled before he lunged for her, knocking her into the stage, Gregory’s arm was released, half of the other animatronics were trying to tie her up whole,while the other half were trying to colm the first half down. Gregory felt hands pick him up and quickly realized it was Freddy. The lights came back on, Vanessa was tied up screaming at them.

“ Let me go you stupid bots! I can have all of you scrapped!” Vanessa  shouted at them, struggling against the binds. Sun was still shaking with rage.

“ No! No! You put this child!” he pointed at Gregory, “ and others in danger! You lied to Moon! You said you were upgrading him but you corrupted him!“ Vanessa gaped at him.

“ Sun, I literally have no idea what you are talking about!” Vanessa shouted at him. Sun’s eye twitched.

“ LIAR! RULE BREAKER! FILTHY LIAR!” He screamed at her, he even made to attack her but Monty wrapped his arms around Sun’s middle and lifted him up.

“ woah firebug, let’s not,” Monty soothed. Sun tried to squirm out of his grip.

“ SHE DESERVES IT!” he snapped, Monty adjusted his grip so Sun was more over his shoulder.

“ Yeah, yeah she does but I know you, and YOU will regret it, and beat yourself up and I won’t have it,”  Monty said evenly holding Sun there who continued to struggle in Monty’s hold.  Vanessa swallowed hard.

“Now hold on! Sun, your scanner has a lie detector in it! Scan me! I’m not lying. “Sun stopped, and after a pause Monty set him down, Sun glared at her.

“ Fine. Tell your lie.” Sun snarled, Monty kept his hands on Sun’s shoulders. Vanessa spoke slowly while Sun scanned her.

“ I. Do not. Know what. You are talking. About.” She stated. There was a pause, and then Sun screamed in rage pulling at his rays. 

“NONONONONO! MOON SAW YOU!” Sun shouted, Monty made to pull Sun’s hands away from his own rays then thought against it. Instead he placed his hand on Sun’s back.

“ Sugarcane easy on your rays,” he said softly, Sun released his rays. 

“ I know what Moon saw and Moon saw YOU!” Sun snarled, “How?! How are you telling the truth!?” Sun demanded, Vanessa shrugged, her eyes wide. Gregory looked over at Freddy who held him closer to him.

“ What if she was hacked,” Gregory asked, they all looked at  him.

“ She's a human sweetie,” Chica said softly. Gregory nodded.

“ yeah, but humans can be brainwashed. Think about it, Monty, do you remember nearly sending Sun off of the third floor railing,” Gregory asked pointed to the third floor of the Atrium. Monty’s eyes went wide.

“ What? I didn’t- I wouldn’t-“ he glanced at Sun who was sheepishly tapping his fingers together, “ oh my god….” He lifted his glasses to look at him, “ I’m so sorry…”

“ You weren’t you,” Sun said with a  shrug.

“ EXACTLY! “ Gregory exclaimed.“ none of you remember! The only one who even remotely seems to remember being hacked was Moon!” Gregory gestured to Sun, “ so maybe she’s the same way,” Freddy hummed and looked down at Vanessa.

“ Well if that’s true then how do you debug a human,” Roxy asked, Vanessa’s gaze jumped between each of the animatronics.

“ Guys this isn’t funny, this isn’t a joke, untie me. Let me get this kid out of here and get everything back to how it SHOULD be,” she ordered. They all stared at her, and then they ignored her. 

“ So debugging a human,” Monty said, Sun brought his non-existent nails to his teeth.

“ but if she was hacked… then who hacked her?” Sun asked, everyone fell silent. Bonnie moved in front of Vanessa.

“ I say we wait til Vanny comes out to chat,” Bonnie said evenly. Vanessa scoffed.

“ See this is why you got tossed, you’re nuts,” she snapped, Gregory heard Freddy growl, then felt himself get stuffed into Sun’s arms who was started but recovered quickly and held him. Freddy gently pushed Bonnie to the side.

“ apologize,” Freddy ordered his nose inches from her own. She remained silent. Freddy straightened up, “ I say we keep her upstarts so we can watch her while we figure out what’s going on here,” Freddy suggested. Sun shifted nervously.

“I have to object on Moon’s behalf, he doesn’t want her near Dj,” Sun looked over at Monty who hummed. 

“ What if we stuff her in a locker?” he suggested,

“ the green rooms?” Roxy suggested.

“ a maintenance closet!” Bonnie suggested. 

“ The pan closet in the kitchen?” Chica suggested.

“ Moon we can’t hang her from the rafters!” Sun muttered under his breath, Gregory snickered. 

Freddy shook his head. 

“ She’s going upstairs. Like I said Mappy is already up there doing who knows what,” Freddy put his foot down, Sun told Moon to shut up under his breath. “ I’ll take her upstairs, the rest of you check the security offices for information on the situation, “ Freddy lifted Vanessa over his shoulder, she looked absolutely bullshitted. 

“ Chica you hit the kitchen, Roxy, the arcade, “ Freddy ordered pointing to each of them,” Monty, Gator golf, Bonnie, Bonnie bowl-“

“ That’s still here?!” he grinned, Freddy smiled softly before moving on.

“ I’ll hit the one in the faz-cade. Monty, Do you remember how to get to the one by Parts and Service?” Monty shrugged.

“ Kinda I think we left the doors open so I should be able to go right through but shouldn’t Moon-“ Freddy cut him off.

“ I need Sun, or Moon to watch Gregory in the daycare,” Freddy said Gregory blinked.

“ WHAT?! No! I wanna help-“ Gregory insisted, Freddy shook his head.

“ No, no, Gregory every time you disappear to help something happens, first you got chased by these three, “ he gestured to Monty, Chica and Roxy, who sheepishly looked away. “ then you locked locked in the Daycare with a hacked Moon THEN you got locked in lost in found, THEN you and Sun were attacked by staff bots, Then you were attacked by Endos, you didn’t come back with Moon and Monty in the best shape, You fell down the trash chute and came back unconscious because and I quote,” Freddy added a slight scratch to his voice, and dropped an octave in a perfect imitation of Moon, “ I had to put him to sleep the pain was too much for him,” Gregory winced ,” so no. No. I don’t want you getting hurt, you are staying with Sun and Moon in the daycare.”

“ BUT Freddy those things only happened because of Vanny and she’s right there,” he pointed to the woman on Freddy’s shoulder. Freddy thought for a moment, then sighed. 

“ Fine, Moon, take the parts and service office,” Sun paused a beat then nodded, “Gregory you are staying with me. Got it,” Gregory nodded, “ Alright, then,�� Monty clapped his hands as Freddy wrapped up.

“ Break! GO TEAM!” He fist pumped the air Sun giggled before everyone split off. Freddy dropped Vanessa off with Mappy who was pulling out Wires from Dj’s neck. Gregory blinked at the mess.

“ Moon is going to kill you,” He informed the staff bot. 

“ Take a map,” was the response but Mappy nervously pulled at the collar painted of the painted on t-shirt as if he was sweating. Freddy paused to observe the situation.

“ I think if Mappy is doing what I think he’s doing,” He said, picking Gregory up, “ Moon will need to get over himself, and apologize to Mappy as well as thank him, C’mon “ he carried Gregory to the faz-cade security office. The stage where Dj normally resided looked big, empty and cold. Gregory looked anywhere but at it as they made their way to the security office. Where they found nothing except some back and forth emails from an old coworker of Vanessa, asking her out a bunch and asking how the Vr game test was going. 

Once it was determined that they would not get more from the office they headed back to the hideaway where Mappy was still messing with Dj’s wires. Sun was already back nervously drumming his fingers on his knees from where he sat criss cross on the floor and pointedly not looking at Mappy. 

“ Hi Freddy! Did you find anything? We didn’t! Except this,” He held up the white rabbit mask, “ and some notes on, well, Moon, I guess he was a trial run for the virus that bugged everyone else,” Sun laughed anxiously, gripping his ankles and rocking slightly. “ Makes you think huh? If Moon or I had gone to Parts and Service on day one…” Freddy hummed.

“ Hindsight is twenty twenty Sun, you two don’t beat yourself up over it, and sort of….Something about a Vr game she demoed, that is all,” Gregory moved over to Mappy who moved to dj’s systems and flipped them on. Dj didn’t jolt, he didn’t move at all. Sun's head did a 180 to see what was happening.  

Then Dj’s eyes came online. His colored pupils blinked a couple times, then he hesitantly pushed himself upright.

“ Ulg my head,” he boom, it had been so long since Gregory heard him talk he forgot how loud Dj was. 

“ Dj!” Gregory exclaimed, “ You're okay!” Gregory looked over at Sun who was on his feet staring. He reached over and turned the single lamp in the room off. Moon blinked a couple times, seemingly in shock. 

“ Dj,” he stepped closer, placing a hand on his cheek. Dj blinked at him. 

“ Hey Moonpie,” Dj  greeted looking at his surroundings, “ what did I miss? Are you back now?” Moon stared at him then he started smacking his headphones lightly with his hands.

“ AM I BACK NOW?! YOU’VE BEEN OFFLINE FOR HOURS! HOURS DJ!” Moon shouted, “ I thought…” he stopped and then hugged the side of Dj’s head, his eyes closed. “ Don’t scare me like that again,” he said softly. Dj looked over at Gregory and Freddy. 

“ I’m sorry. . .  Did the Antenna get fixed? Did we call Gregory’s parents?” Moon’s Pupils lit up the size of pinhead, Gregory grimaced and Freddy rubbed the back of his neck. Thankfully they were spared from answering when Monty came back.

“ Oh! Hey! “ Monty lightly punched Dj’s hand, “ look who's back. How you feeling, big guy,” Dj eyed Monty with confusion.

“ Good?” Roxy and Chica came back.

“ Dj!!!” Chica rushed forward, and hugged his face, “ You’re awake!”

“ Dj’s awake? Good cuz Moon’s been an emotional mess,” Bonnie said as he approached them earning him a weak punch from said animatronic. Dj gaped.

“ Bonnie?! You're alive?!” Bonnie blinked.

“ oh yeah I keep forgetting,” Bonnie gave Freddy a sad look, chuckling. Freddy nodded. 

“ Alright, is everyone here?” Freddy did a headcount, “ Good, did we find anything,” he asked.

“ There’s construction going on in the basement, something about a sinkhole but sounds sus,” Monty said, Moon rolled his eyes.

“ There's no timer, use real words,” he said, Monty snorted.

“ Awe but Sun loves it when I use meme slang,” Monty teased, Moon raised an eyebrow but he definitely muttered “ stop giggling” under his breath. 

“ We found out she’s not qualified for her job, “ Roxy stated curtly, Chica nodded. Freddy hummed, thinking, he turned to Vanessa who was calmly watching them from her spot on the floor. 

“ Anything you’d like to add,” He asked. She said nothing,  watching them. Gregory hesitated then took a step closer to her, Freddy reached out to stop him but Gregory ignored him.

“ What’s the matter,” He snapped, feeling bold with her bound and seven to eight animatronics behind him, “ can’t you talk?” She watched him with a blank look. Gregory saw her gaze move, and he followed it. His own landed on Moon, then the rabbit mask as his feet, Sun had dropped it when he stood up. Gregory hesitated looking back at her, then moved to the mask, picking it up. He then turned back to her. 

“ Starlight,” Moon warned, Gregory paused and gave him a confused look, Moon’s eyes shrunk and he cleared his throat in embarrassment, “ Gregory, “ He corrected, “ Do you know what you are doing?” Gregory blinked at him, then looked down at the mask.

“ I. . . I think so,” He said weakly, then moved to Vanessa. He faintly heard Monty whisper.

“ Starlight?” 

“ Shut Up!” Moon hissed back, and a faint chuckle from Dj. Gregory pulled the mask over Vanessa’s face. The red eyes on him made Gregory second guess everything he was doing. 

“ What about now? Anything to say?” She snickered. Gregory stumbled back, and Freddy placed a hand on Gregory’s shoulder.

“ No,” She tilted her head to the side, it sent shivers down Gregory’s spine. Moon noticed. He wordlessly stepped closer and  placed a hand atop his head. Gregory stepped closer to him, “ She giggled at that.

“ So you are hacked, “ Moon stated, she giggled.

“ Hacked? No no no, not hacked,” She chuckled, “ Think. . . sharing, sharing is caring right?” She giggled, Roxy stepped forwards so she was on Freddy’s right, Gregory still between him and Moon on Freddy’s left. Roxy teeth bared. 

“ Explain,” She snarled. Dj shifted so he was casually leaning his chin on his left palm, but his bouncy ball sized pupils gave away the anger behind the casual stance. 

“ Nah, you wouldn’t get it. . .” She cocked her head suddenly to the other side, the stitched grin seemed to be  growing. “ Moon gets it though,” Gregory looked up at Moon intime to see his stance stiffen.

“ What are you up to,” Bonnie snapped, stepping closer on Vanny’s left. Vanny turned to him.

“ Stuff!” She giggled, “ Stuff and things!” Bonnie glared at her.

“ What’s in the sink hole,” Freddy asked. She turned to him.

“ Hmmm? Nothing for you to know about Nosey bear.” she practically sang. Gregory swallowed hard, reaching up to hold on to Moon’s arm ( Much to the bot's surprise) to find the courage before speaking.

“ What about the VR game, what was that about? Are you, I mean, is Vanessa  not a security guard?” he asked, Vanny turned her head to him, her eyes narrowed.

“ No she’s not, “ She stated, “ Game Developer,” She cocked her head again.

“ How’d she get the job,” Gregory asked, she grinned, her gaze sharpened and Gregory swallowed hard, Moon and Freddy shifted so he was more behind them. 

“ How’d she get you,” Moon asked, Vanny stared at her, “ How do we get rid of you.” Vanny giggled at him, then laughed. 

“ SECRET SECRET NEVER TELL!” She sang. Moon growled, Gregory squeezed his arm a little, and Moon seemed to reluctantly relax. 

“ What’s downstairs. “ Freddy demanded again.

“ What have you been doing in the trash room!” Bonnie snapped. 

“ HOW. Did you get this stupid job!” Roxy snarled. Vanny laughed again, Moon knelt down and carefully wrapped an arm around Gregory, letting the boy lean into his chest. Gently rubbing his thumb back and forth on Gregory’s shoulder. 

“ If you must knoooow~” She giggled, “ Not like you’ll find her, buuut her consciousnesses is still in here, just way way waywaywyayway, “ She swung her head making her ears flop with each motion, “ Deep down in here,” she giggled.

“ How do we save her,” Gregory asked, Vanny laughed.

“ Save her? You can’t,” She said simply. Freddy huffed in frustration.

“ Alright this is getting us nowhere,” He huffed, “ It’s almost six am, so we can get Gregory outside then-”

“ Then what?!” Moon snapped, standing up, Gregory still in his hold, “ He has nowhere to go! You’re just gonna shove him onto the streets to fend for himself?!” Moon tightened his hold.

“ What? Didn’t we call his parents?” Dj asked, confused. Moon sighed looking up at Dj.

“ He doesn’t have parents,” He finally said, Gregory didn’t meet Dj’s eyes, though he felt the spider's gaze on him.

“ We did call the police,” Freddy assured. Monty scoffed.

“ But they laughed at our faces,” He countered.

“ They didn’t laugh,” Freddy replied sheepishly. 

“ But they didn’t come,” Dj said evenly. No one responded, Gregory gulped and peeked up at Dj who seemed in thought, then his gaze snapped to Gregory. His gaze softened a bit.“ Hey I’m not mad at you okay,” Dj assured him, Gregory hesitated before nodding.

“ Freddy, you can’t seriously want to send this kid onto the streets!” Bonnie exclaimed, Freddy turned his eyes wide.

“ Of course I don’t seriously- I just, Look anywhere is better than here Right now,” Moon turned Gregory away from the bear, “ Moon, it is for his own good!

“ HIS OWN GOOD?!” Gregory could swear he heard Sun’s voice at the same time he heard Moon’s shout, Sun rays started to poke through but then retracted. Monty and Dj exchanged looks. 

“ You think for-forcing this child to fend for himself AGAIN is for his own good?!” Moon glitched, then the sun rays poked out again. “ No! Not on OUR WATCH” Moon snarled, practically hiding Gregory from Freddy. Monty stepped closer to Freddy.

“ I heard, ‘Our’. That means Both of them are on the same page.” Monty said evenly, crossing his arms, “ And I think these guys have some sense  when it comes to Child care,” Monty quoted Freddy’s own line back at him. Freddy stared at them.

“ It’s not safe here!” Freddy exclaimed, “ Not with her here,” He jerked a thumb at Vanny who was watching them, “ We may have caught her this time but if we can’t get that THING out of her head then in the morning who is management going to believe?! HER or us?!” He asked. Moon didn’t loosen his hold on Gregory.

“So we fix her, and then get rid of whatever started all this a year ago with him!” Monty jerked his thumb at Bonnie. Freddy looked exasperated, and held his head in his hands.

“ How?!” He asked, “ How, we have nothing, we know she worked on a VR game for Fazbear Entertainment, and  we know she was somehow hacked, or replaced, or. . “ He glared at her, “ Sharing,” He rolled his eyes, “ but we still don’t know how, she’s not talking, and we don’t know what to do!” Freddy exclaimed, “ I don’t want to send him out there! I’d rather tear my own circuits out of my endo than send him out there but this WILL just keep happening, he is in danger if he stays!” Everyone exchanged looks except Moon who didn’t move. 

“ Do you want to leave,” Moon asked quietly, Gregory looked over at him, Moon's white pupil's still on Freddy.

“ No,”  Gregory whispered back, “ I want to stay, I want to help!” Moon nodded.

“ He’s not going,” Moon snapped at Freddy who put his head in his hands, sighing heavily. Dj held up a finger as if he had a thought, grabbing everyone's attention, taking a second too long to start speaking.

“ Okay, what if,” He trailed off, his voice slower than usual, “ THere was a thing, A thing they used to have at,” He snapped his fingers in thought, He sounded groggy for some reason. “ Different Locations, a toy.”

“ You okay big guy?” Chica asked, Dj blinked.

“ Yeah!  Yeah . . .” He blinked, then made a motion like rolling his head, “ I think my battery is just low,” He mumbled, then he blinked, “ Yep, there's my notice,” His eyes lidded to half moons as if his top lid had dropped. Moon placed a hand on his own.

“ Maybe you should head back to the Faz-cade and charge,” Moon suggested. Dj nodded.

“ I will but. . . the thing," he closed his eyes, “ LONELY FREDDY!” He snapped his fingers.

 “ The toys that were specifically designed to track down and play with lonely children,” Bonnie asked, Dj nodded.

“ There were rumors,” He explained, “ like horror stories really, of kids trading places with those things, what if, she,” He gestured with his pupils to Vanny, “ Is like that, what if Vanessa is IN the VR game just like the kids in those rumors were IN the Freddy toys.” 

“ First off, that never happened,” Freddy remarked, “ Lonely Freddy’s did not trade places with kids; those were just stories like how Fazgoo stole your body or how Plushtrap tried to eat your fingers,” he finished. Dj nodded.

“ I know, I KNOW but that’s not my point, how else does a HUMAN get glitched? I am just saying it’s an idea." Freddy huffed.

“ Okay then fine,” He turned to Vanny, “ IS that what happened?” He asked, Vanny grinned.

“ No.” She answered all too quickly, Moon chuckled in a way that made Gregory’s skin crawl.

“ Naughty Naughty, Liar Liar,” He teased, then realized he was scaring Gregory and set the boy down with a soft apology. 

 “ Wait so she’s. . . she’s in the game?” Freddy sounded in shock, Vanny didn’t answer, “ What the - Nevermind, fine, okay so where's the game?”

“ Gone! Broken!” Roxy scoffed.

“ They didn’t trash it,” The wolf snapped, “ They would have repurposed it,” Roxy looked over at Chica who was in thought.

“ The company did just install some new arcade games, really weird since they have nothing to do with Fazbears,” Dj mused, “ Princess quest I think, maybe, I dunno.” his eyes seemed dimmer.

“ Dj,” Moon started evenly, “ You need to go back to the Faz-cade and charge, we won’t be able to get you there if your battery dies,” Dj sighed.

“ Yeah, yeah, okay I’m going,” He sluggishly picked himself up. Gregory moved to him.

“ I’ll go with you! If Princess Quest is part of the VR game maybe I can play it and get some answers. The response was across the board. 

“ Absolutely not,” Freddy stated.

“ Sounds like a plan,” Bonnie responded.

“ Oooh! Helpful and fun!” Chica grinned, Roxy nodded from her spot.

“ Keep the kid busy at least,” Monty stated.

“ I’ll go with,” Moon stepped closer to the boy.

“ No!” Freddy snapped, “ No, Hold on,” 

“ Alright fine, then you go with him,” Moon snapped, “ What else can we do you’ve established that YOU do not have a plan.” Moon crossed his arms. After a pause Freddy sighed.

“ FIne.  you guys see if you can find other games that are new, maybe. . . I don’t know,” Monty lightly punched Moon’s shoulder, sending him a smug grin before heading to the exit.

“ There's a new golf game in Monty Golf I’ll check out, Chica nodded.

“ I think they stuck one in my bakery,” She headed off, and Roxy followed.

“ I haven’t seen Monty golf in a while, I think I’ll go with Monty,” the gater paused at that to wait for him, then they continued.

“ There's one they stored in the daycare,” Moon huffed, “ Will you be alright?” He asked Dj who nodded.

“ Don’t worry about me Moonbeam I’ll be fine,” Moon narrowed his eyes at him. But chose to say nothing as he headed off. Freddy huffed.

“ Shall we go then,” He said with a defeated tone, Gregory nodded.
