Team RWBY Plays:
Five Nights at Freddy's Part 2: Well, that's not good.
It had been another long day at Beacon for Andrew Cunningham. Assignments, tests, training, managing his team…he never thought becoming a huntsman would be this tough. And he knew before initiation that it was going to be tough as well. Thankfully he had plenty of experience when he served as a sparing partner for Penny after Geptetto took him in. Still…he didn't really want to stand out. He wasn't one for attention. He just wanted to be normal…well…about as normal you can get when you're a guy that has…a lot of things he doesn't like talking about.
The only people that knew about his past at Beacon was his team, AZRE, of which he was the leader. He didn't know why he was picked as the leader. He didn't really see himself as leader material. But…Ozpin must have had a good reason…what that reason is, he had no clue. But…well…maybe Ozpin saw something in him that that Andrew didn't.
He was walking back with his team from practice for the Vytal Tournament. They felt good about their form and coordination. But they also knew they could be better. After all, when you're a hunter, you never stop finding ways to improve. But while they were walking…
"AAAAAANDREEEEEWWWWWWW!"
Andrew turned his head to the source of the high pitched voice, only to be met with a blur of red, rose petals flying everywhere, and a really REALLY tight hug.
"UAAGH! H-hi…Ruby…" Andrew said, trying to breathe from the lack of oxygen.
"ThankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouTHANKYOUSOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR GIVING ME THAT GREAT IDEA! I HAD SO MUCH FUN LAST NIGHT!" The little rose hyperactively shouted.
"Aaaaaahhh…kid…can't breathe…"
"Oh! Sorry!"
Ruby instantly let go of blue jacket wearing hunter in training.
"Whoa, dude," Zack Evens, the Z in team AZRE, second in command, a close friend of Andrew, and stead fast loyal to his team and leader. "It's about time you got yourself a girlfriend, but uh…dontcha think she's…y'know…kinda on the young side?"
Andrew's eyes widened as he heard that. "Wh-I-no! Nonononono, it's not like that!"
"Oh…um…no, we're not like that at all, I don't really know him that well…and besides he's two years older than me…sooo…yeah…" Ruby said, frantically trying to dismiss any thoughts the rest of the AZRE's might have. The former of which just broke out in laughter.
"C'mon guys we're just joking," Rachel Lunar spoke, the R of the team, and main strategist.
"Yeah, besides, even if she wasn't a minor, she's WAY out of your league," Elton Mills joked, the E of the team, and an expert marksman.
Andrew just flipped Elton the bird and rolled his eyes. Ruby giggled. "Anyways, I was just saying thank you to Andrew for showing me how to do these things called Let's Plays, and we recorded one last night and it was really REALLY fun! I…just need his help with the…editing…" She twiddled her fingers in embarrassment.
"Oh yeah…forgot about that didn't I?" Andrew said.
"Wait you got one of the best teams in the school to start doing your hobby?" Zack asked, surprised.
"Umm…yeah…I guess I kinda did.,,"
"You wouldn't happen to be uploading that to the web, would you kid?" Elton asked.
"That's the idea," Ruby repined cheerfully.
"Awesome!" Elton shouted. "I'd pay to see that!"
"It definitely sounds like it would be fun to watch," Rachel added.
"Ugh, great," Zack joked. "Soon the whole kingdom of Vale is going to be star struck by four of Beacon's strongest femme fatals. Slayers of Grimm, thwarters of criminal activity, and gamers extraordinaire."
"Hey, could inspire a whole bunch of people," Elton remarked.
"I never said it was a bad thing, Elton," replied Zack.
"Sooooo…can you help me again? Please?" Ruby asked Andrew with biggest grin she was capable of.
"Hmmmm," Andrew pondered this for a minute. "Rachel, what's our progression for the project in Ooblek's class?"
"The final draft is done," Rachel replied. "Zack and Elton sent me the power point already. All we need to do is go over it together as a team, and make any last edits as they come up. Once you give us the green light, we'll submit it."
"Okay then. Everyone, take a break for about two hours. We've had a long day. I'll be helping little red riding hood here with some editing shenanigans, and afterwards, we'll meet up in our dorm for one final review and check list. Until then, do as you please. Dismissed."
"Geez," Rachel smirked. "So athorative."
"That happens when you're trained by Iornwood," Andrew replied.
As the rest of team AZRE walked away, Ruby turned to Andrew with a surprised look. "The General trained you?"
"Yup," he replied. "But that's a story for another time. C'mon. I'll show you how to edit like a pro, kiddo."
Ruby giggled and followed after her new friend.
...
The Next Day
"Well, that went pretty well," Zack said after their last class with Professor Ooblek (or Dr. as he prefers) ended for the day.
"That's what happens when we all put in a team effort," Rachel replied.
"The research was still brutal though," Elton commented.
"You guys did great," Andrew complimented.
"Hey, you're Andrew Cunningham, right?" A soft spoken voice asked. AZUR turned to see Blake Belladonna from Team RWBY walking over to them.
"Ummm…maybe?," Andrew said, not really sure why one of the beauties from Ruby's team was talking to him all of a sudden. "Something you need?"
"Just a moment to talk if that's alright,"
"Oooooookay, guys," Zack said with a smirk on his face. "Let's give these two a little private time." The rest of the team snickered in a joking fashion and walked a way.
Andrew groaned. "I swear, one of these days those guys are going to be the death of me."
"Can't always choose your team, huh?" Blake smiled as she made a joke, and she rarely ever did. But somehow, seeing that teasing banter between Andrew and his teamates made her smile. Blake only knew what Ruby had told her team about Andrew, but from how she described him, he sounded like a genuinely friendly person. His team's teasing was proof of that.
"Yeah…" Andrew replied. "But still, they're my team. Wouldn't want it any different."
And Blake smiled a little more at hearing that.
"So, ummm…'sup?" Andrew asked. "I'm guessing this has to do with the video you guys uploaded?"
Blake snapped out of her thoughts, and looked back at Andrew. "You saw it?"
"Yeah. Hell I think the whole school has by this point," Andrew replied. "You guys are a huge hit. Well, then again, you always were a huge hit in this school."
Blake laughed a little at the compliment. "Well, I don't know if we're that good…"
"Oh trust me, you guys are pro material. No doubt about it. Hero material even."
Blake wasn't really sure how to react to the "hero" statement. True the idea of being a hero in Remnant was definitely an idea that made her feel happy inside, even for her. But with her past, she wasn't really sure if she deserved to be seen as that. She had done a lot of things that she still regrets to this day. However…being on Team RWBY…it just made her life seem…brighter. And being called a hero from someone she barely knew…she honestly didn't know what to say…but it definitely wasn't a bad thing. "Ummm…well, thanks…" was all she could think to say.
Andrew noticed the uncertainty in her voice. "Did…I say something I shouldn't have?"
"Hm? Oh, no, no, not at all. I just…have never been seen as…a hero…by someone else…"
Andrew immediately saw were this was going. "I'm guessing you have doubts about yourself…?"
"Sort of…"
"Hey, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask…"
Blake once again smiled at how considerate the leader of team AZRE was being. It was easy to see why Ozpin chose him as a leader. "It's alright…hey, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah?"
"Why did you want to become a hunter? I know I shouldn't judge but…you don't look like the kind of person who would want this sort of life."
Andrew smiled slightly at this. "Well…no I didn't…but…some things happened…and…let's just say I didn't want them to happen again…"
Blake immediately picked up on the fact that Andrew had some things he'd rather not talk about as well. "I see…well, I won't ask if you don't want me to…"
"Nah, you couldn't have known. I might tell you about it one day. And hey, you ever wanna get something off your mind, I'll listen. I don't know if I can do much to help, but I will listen. I can at least promise you that."
Ruby was right. This boy really was nice. And sweet, as Yang guessed. Speaking of whom…"Is that your attempt of a pick up line?" Blake usually doesn't make jokes like that, but she figured the two of them could use transition in tone.
Andrew immediate turned red and started to babble. "Um..I…uh, wait, that's not what I…I mean…it's-it's not that I don't think your pretty, you ARE pretty, like supper pretty and…I...but…well…oh Oumdamnit, I have no idea what I'm doing right now…"
Blake tried fighting the giggle she was getting but to no avail.
"Ha ha, yeah, go ahead and enjoy yourself while I make a fool of myself," Andrew joked.
"Well, heehee, I figured it would be funny to see you get your tongue tied for a moment."
"I thought you didn't make jokes."
"I don't. Well, not that often. But…right now I just felt like it."
"Well, as long as you got a laugh out of it."
The two of them chuckled for a little bit, and then Andrew decided change the subject.
"So, what was it you wanted to ask me about?"
"Oh, right," Blake replied, trying to compose herself. "It's about the game we were playing…Five Night's at Freddy's?"
"Oh yeah, forgot to ask…how was that for you guys? It…didn't give you too many nightmares did it?"
"Well, it did at first. But I followed an idea Yang gave me and just listened to music on my scroll. Ruby had one too, but then she did something that none of us thought about?"
"What's that?"
"She thought about them playing poker for some reason," Blake said, smiling again.
Andrew burst out laughing. "Pfft, what?! Ahahahahahaaaahhh! Oh man, that's the best thing I've heard all day!"
Blake once again started to giggle. She never thought she would laugh this much in a conversation with a stranger. Still, it was a nice feeling. "Yeah, she's got a talent for making things that are scary seem not so scary."
"Yeah, she really is a bouncing ball of happiness. Anyways, what did you want to know?"
"Well…embarrassing as it is to say…I'm kind of interested in the horror of the game, and well…since you seem to have played the game…I was wondering if you could give me any insight to a story…"
Andrew smiled. "You like a lot of horror stuff don't you?"
"Well, I have read a few good horror novels. The unknown of the supernatural has always fascinated me."
"Well, I'll do you one even better. I'll tell you where you can look up all kinds of info on the franchise."
"Franchise?" Blake asked, surprised. "You mean there's more than one?"
"Oh hell yeah, there's a whole community! Do you know what a wiki is?"
"Wiki…as in…what was it called…Wikipedia?"
"Something similar to that. Basically a wiki is like an encyclopedia for a certain franchise series in particular. There are wiki's for books, movies, TV shows, and of course, video games. Now, considering how heavy of a reader you are, I'm guessing you don't like spoilers too much."
"Not at all," Blake said bluntly.
"Thought so. So, I suggest that you only look up the synopsis of the story of the first game and the characters in the first game. And until you beat the first game, don't look up info on any of the other games. It'll spoil the surprise. And if you guys are having trouble on any of the nights, you can look up hints on the wiki too. But…you guys are on the 2nd night, right?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, so there are different strategies for each of the nights, so if you guys are having trouble, look up the night you're on, and you should find some things that are interesting and useful."
"Okay…sounds interesting. Can you send me the link?"
"I'm already working on it…um…I don't think I have your scroll number."
"Here." Blake held up her number on displayed ion the scroll for Andrew to see. He quickly typed it in and then sent the link to the number. A few seconds later Blake's scroll beeped, indicating that she had received a message. She looked at it and saw that there was a hyperlink to a web address. "Got it."
"Okay. So…I guess I'll see you around then?"
"Sure," Blake said. "I'll see you around. It was nice meeting you, Andrew. Ruby was right when she said that you were a really nice guy. Thanks." And with that she walked away.
Andrew just stood there for a few moments before turning to go back to his team. "'Nice guy' huh? I really wish I could convince myself…"
…
Later that night
VIDEO START
Ruby: Hey everyone! I'm Ruby Rose!
Weiss: (Sigh) I still can't believe we're doing this again.
Blake: Well you said you enjoyed it last time.
Weiss: …Well…(sigh)…yes, I did…
Yang: Aren't we in the middle of our introductions?
Weiss: Why do we need to do that? We just did it in the last video.
Ruby: Cuz that's always how Andrew starts out his videos. He said it makes people seem friendly to the audience. So! From the top. Hey everyone! I'm Ruby Rose.
Weiss: I'm Weiss Schnee.
Blake: I'm Blake Belladonna.
Yang: And I'm Yang Xiao Long!
Ruby: Together we're Team RWBY, and welcome back to Five Nights at Freddy's! Now first of all, I want to say a HUGE thank you to Andrew Cunningham once again for showing me how to edit the last video! You are an awesome dude! Seriously guys, he does some really cool stuff. We'll put a link to his channel in the description below. THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANDREW!
Weiss: You are way too hyperactive about this.
Blake: Well, he is an incredibly generous guy.
Yang: How do you know that?
Blake: I talked with him earlier today.
Weiss: Why?
Blake: There were some things I wanted to ask him, but I'll talk about that later.
Ruby: Alright. And second, thank you viewers so much for all of the positive feed back you gave us, it really helps a lot! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! So without further ado, let's get in to night two, and let's see what awaits us in this possibly haunted kids restaurant.
Weiss: Hold on. I'm playing this time.
Ruby: Uh…okay, but…why all of a sudden?
Weiss: If we're doing this as a team, then it wouldn't be fair if nobody got a turn. So whenever someone either advances a night or…dies in a mentally crippling way…the next person in our team's initials goes next, and then we repeat the order.
Ruby: Oh, that's actually a very fair idea. Thanks Weiss!
Weiss: Umm…well…thanks…Ahem, anyways, if you'll excuse me…
Ruby: Absolutely, BFF!
[Ruby scoots over for Weiss to access the mouse clicks continue. The screen shows the text, "12:00 AM. 2nd Night."]
Yang: You know what the controls are?
Weiss: I'm not stupid, Yang, I saw how Ruby was playing. It's just point and click at the things to make them work, right?
Ruby: Yup!
[Screen shows the all too familiar office.]
Blake: Back to the graveyard shift. Literally, considering the story of this game.
Ruby: Wait, there's a story to this game?
Blake: Well, more like lore.
[Ringing.]
Blake: But I think I'll explain that after Phone Guy's done talking.
Weiss: "Phone Guy?"
Blake: It's the name of the person on the phone. Well, unofficially, the game doesn't have an official name for him, so everyone just calls him Phone Guy.
Weiss: Well…I guess that's original?
[Ringing.]
Yang: Wonder if he's going give us any more hints on what how to survive.
Ruby: I hope so. Death by mechanical animals is not how I want to go.
[Ringing. Click.]
Phone Guy: Uhh, Hello? Hello?
Yang: Sup?
Phone Guy: Uh, well, if you're hearing this and you made it to day two, uh, congrats!
Weiss: I'd feel much better about surviving the first night if I didn't have to come back for four more.
Phone Guy: I-I won't talk quite as long this time since Freddy and his friends tend to become more active as the week progresses.
Yang: Ah, Video Game Rule #3: Don't get too comfortable if beginning seems simple; it WILL get harder later on.
Ruby: And we BARELY made it past the first night.
Phone Guy: Uhh, it might be a good idea to peek at those cameras while I talk just to make sure everyone's in their proper place. You know...
Weiss: Oh no. (Quickly flips up the camera to the stage) Okay, they're still in place on the stage.
Yang: They won't be for long.
Phone Guy: Uh... Interestingly enough, Freddy himself doesn't come off stage very often. I heard he becomes a lot more active in the dark though, so, hey, I guess that's one more reason not to run out of power, right?
Ruby: So we only need to worry about Freddy when we run out of power I guess?
Blake: For this night at least. After that…well, like Yang said…it'll get more difficult.
Yang: What do you mean by that?
Phone Guy: I-I also want to emphasize the importance of using your door lights. There are blind spots in your camera views, and those blind spots happen to be right outside of your doors.
Weiss: We figured that part out last time. (Weiss puts down the camera screen to conserve power.)
Phone Guy: So if-if you can't find something, or someone, on your cameras, be sure to check the door lights. Uh, you might only have a few seconds to react... Uh, not that you would be in any danger, of course. I'm not implying that.
Yang (Sarcastically): Suuuuuurrreeeee, it's not like we'll get stuffed into an animatronic suite and get crushed to death, I'm positive that's not what you're implying.
Phone Guy: Also, check on the curtain in Pirate Cove from time to time.
Ruby: The what?
Phone Guy: The character in there seems unique in that he becomes more active if the cameras remain off for long periods of time. I guess he doesn't like being watched. I don't know.
Weiss: There's ANOTHER animatronic coming after us?!
Phone Guy: Anyway, I'm sure you have everything under control!
Yang: No we don't!
Phone Guy: Uh, talk to you soon.
[Phone Guy hangs up.]
Weiss: I swear, if this actually happened in real life, I would sue this company to kingdom come.
Blake: Actually, some people might already be a step ahead of you on that.
Weiss: How do you know—(Weiss flips up the camera to see that Bonnie is gone.)—Aaannnd, the bunny is on the move.
Ruby: Okay, night two has officially started. Let's do this, girls!
[Weiss flips over to Parts and Services to see Bonnie's face right in the camera with pitch black eyes, white dots, and what looks like a devilish grin.]
Ruby: WOAH!
Weiss: EEEK, WHAT IN THE—
Blake: (Hisses)
Yang: MONTY ALMIGHTY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT BUNNY?!
Weiss: Why are his eyes like that?!
Yang: What the hell is that?! Why the hell is that?! What the hell is going on in this freak show?!
[The team then hears the sounds of what may be merry-go-round music in the ambiance.]
Weiss: Wwwwwwhat is that…?
Blake: The designer of this game must have a really good understanding of how fear and paranoia work in the mind.
Ruby: Okay…it's official…this place is haunted.
Blake: It actually is. So, to get to what I was saying earlier, and hopefully to calm us down…maybe…I talked with Andrew Cunningham earlier today, and I told him that I was interested in the story behind the game, and I am, so he directed me to something called a wiki.
Yang: "Wiki?" Like Wikipedia?
Blake: Close. A wiki is basically an encyclopedia that's dedicated to a series of books, movies, TV shows, video games, and various other things.
Ruby: So, you think there would be a wiki for the books you read?
Blake: Possibly. Anyways, so first of all, this is not the only game of Five Nights at Freddy's. There's a total of six. There's The main series of which there has been four games, a cutetsy comedic spin off called "FNAF World," and most recently another spin off that has connections with the main series in some way called "Sister Location." In addition, there's three books that are being written. The first one is supposed to come out sometime this month, the second next year, and the third two years from now. And if that weren't enough there is a live action adaptation being made, and believe it or not, and actual horror attraction based off of the series is being constructed in Atlas called Five Nights at Freddy's: Fright Dome.
Yang: Okay, my mind is officially blown to pieces, that is a really well received series if it's getting that much attention.
Weiss: …Okay…I am officially impressed…And I actually have heard of some horror attraction being made back home, I just never knew what it—(Weis sees Foxy's face in Pirate Cove.) –wwwaaaaaaaaaahhh!
Yang: Ooohhhh, geeze!
Ruby: No, no! Bad animatronic! Bad!
Yang: Demon Animal-tronic!
[RWB groans.]
Blake: "Animal-tronic?"
Ruby: Really, sis?! While we're sweating blood?!
Weiss: Is that the Pirate Cove character the Phone Guy told us about?!
Blake: Yeah, that is. Foxy, I think.
Yang: You think that horror looks sexy?!
Blake: No, I mean that particular animatronics' name is Foxy.
Yang: Oh. Never mind then.
Ruby: How do you know its name?
Blake: The wiki. There's a total of four…well, technically five animatronic characters in this game.
Weiss: Five?!
Blake: Well, we really only have to worry about four of them, the fifth one is a bit…bizarre…I'm not really sure in what way though, I didn't look that part up.
Ruby: Why not?
Blake: According to Andrew, spoilers. And I'm not a fan of that.
Yang: Nobody is.
Blake: Anyways, for the four main animatronics, there's the purple bunny, whose name is Bonnie.
Yang: Who apparently has demon eyes.
Blake: And the duck, who is not a duck, is Chica the chicken. And for those of you out there that care about gender specifics, Chica's a female.
[Weiss flips over to camera to see Chica her head tilted and her jaw hanging open.]
Weiss: Eeeeeeuuugh!
Ruby: And also happens to be the scariest chicken I have ever seen.
Yang: I honestly think Bonnie is creepier.
Blake: The one in Pirate Cove as we've already seen is Foxy. Who is apparently a Fox-pirate. Of all things.
["Da-da dum, dum, doodlie dum…"]
Yang: Are one of the animatronics singing?!
Ruby: That Freddy lullaby is bad enough.
Weiss: I am currently hating every second of this right now, and questioning every point of my existence.
Blake: And speaking of Freddy, apparently he's inactive for the first two nights, save for when we run out of power. So for this night we only need to worry about Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. Come tomorrow, we'll have them all coming after us.
Yang: Including the fifth?
Blake: Well, like I said, the fifth one is a special case. But—[Blake sees a Freddy poster that shows Freddy ripping his head off.] Whhhhhhhaaaaaat?!
Weiss: What, Blake, what is it?!
Blake: That poster, look at the poster there!
Weiss: What po—OH!
Ruby: Why?! Why is he doing that?! Why is that in a kid's place?!
Blake: That poster was not like that before!
Yang: This game is fucking with my mind right now.
Weiss: Yang! Language!
Ruby: I've heard Andrew use that word a few times in his videos. What does it mean?
Blake: When you're older, Ruby.
Ruby: Awwwwww. (Makes a pouty face.)
Weiss: Okay, so the good news is it's 3 AM, and we've got 60% power left, so—(Flips back to Pirate Cove and notices that Foxy is gone. The "Out of order" sign now reads, "Well, that's not good."] Oh no.
Blake: Uh oh.
Ruby: No, no, no! Where did he go?!
Yang: Smart ass sign!
Weiss: Where is he, where—(Flips to see Foxy running down the hall.) EEEK!
Yang: Shit! Shit!
Blake: AAAH!
Ruby: Waah, Weiss get the door, get the door!
Weiss: Um—um—um...!
[Weiss tries to get click on the left door, but is in a panic and fumbles with the controls. Foxy rushes in through the door and screams. The screen goes to static.]
RWBY: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
Ruby: Waaaaahhhh, Bad Foxy, bad Foxy!
Weiss: Ohhhhhhhh, I almost had it!
Yang: FUCKING HELL!
Blake: Agh…agh…I don't…think…I've ever screamed that hard…ow…in my life…
Ruby: My heart is in my throat…
Weiss: If this wasn't a game…I would need some serious therapy after this…
[The team notices the game over scream with two eyeballs dangling out of a Freddy Fazbear suite and a set of human teeth in its jaw.]
Ruby: Eeeeewwwwww…
Weiss: Oh sure, go ahead and show us how we died, why don't you.
Yang: Worst…way…to die…ever…of all time…
Blake: Agreed. Ow…
[Cuts back to the title screen.]
Weiss: (Hands the mouse to Blake.) Your turn…
Blake: Can…I have…a few more seconds…to catch my breath…
Weiss: …I think we all do…
[Crossfade to Blake playing the 2nd night.]
Ruby: Okay, so it's Blake's turn now. We're back at 2 AM and we're doing a little better than before. Our power is at 75%, and so far none of the animatronics have tried to get in the office.
Yang: We also looked a little bit at the wiki with for anything useful, and apparently Bonnie and Chica all have a set path that the follow. Bonnie only appears in the rooms to the left of us, meaning he's always going to show up in the left doorway when he's about to enter the office. The opposite happens with Chica in the fact she'll only appear in the right doorway. There's one little difference with Chica. We didn't notice this before but one of the camera's are broken, and that's the one that's in the kitchen. If we can't find Chica on the cameras and we hear something that sounds like—
[Sounds of pots clanging us heard.]
Blake: …Well that was perfect timing.
Yang: Yeah, really. So if we heard pots in pans clanging around, that usually means that Chica's in the kitchen.
Ruby (Singing): Chica's in the kitchen with Diiiinaaaa!~ Chica's in the kitchen I know-ho-ho-ho!~
(WBY giggles)
Weiss: Alright, admittedly, that was actually a little clever.
Yang: That's my lil' sis for ya. Always finding silver linings.
Blake: Well, when faced with horrors like this, humor is a valued commodity.
Ruby: (Giggles) Anyways, for Foxy we found a little trick to him. When he's completely gone from Pirate Cove, he'll take longer to get here if we don't immediately look up his running animation. So as soon as he's disappeared from Pirates Cove we just need to quickly close the left door, flip the camera to the hallway where he runs in, and bam. Foxy no get in. So with that in mind, we should be able to clear this night with fewer problems now.
[Circus music starts up again.]
Blake: The ambiance of this game is extremely nerve wracking.
Yang: Soooooooooo, Weiss, don't you have something to tell our audience?
Weiss: Why me? Why not Blake? She's the horror enthusiast.
Blake: I'm not an enthusiast, I'm just interested. Also, I'm sort of busy trying to not die.
Weiss: (Sigh) Fine. While Blake was getting some solid footing on this game, the rest of us looked up any clues to a story in the game, and sure enough there are some…vague clues about a story. In one of the rooms, there is a newspaper article that changes from time to time, sort of like that…really horrific Freddy poster…but here's what it says. "Kids vanish at local pizzeria – bodies not found. Two local children were reportedly lured into a back room during the late hours of operation at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza on the night of June 26th. While video surveillance identified the man responsible and lead to his capture the following morning, the children themselves were never found and presumed dead. Police think that the suspect dressed as a mascot to earn the children's trust."
Ruby: What?! That's…that's terrible! Why would someone do something like that?!
Yang: That's sick!
Weiss: It…gets worse…the next one reads, "Five people are now linked to the incident at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where a man dressed as a cartoon mascot lured them into a back room. While the suspect has been charged the bodies themselves were never found. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been fighting an uphill battle ever since to return to the pizzeria." And then there's an anonymous quote that says, "'It's a tragedy.'"
Yang: Okay, so wait a second. I think I'm starting to piece something together here. There's five kids that go missing. And there's five animatronics that are trying to kill us…does….does that mean that…
[PAUSE.]
Weiss: (Slowly inhales and exhales) "Local pizzeria threatened with shutdown over sanitation. Local pizzeria, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been threatened again with shutdown by the health department over reports of foul odor coming from the much loved animal mascots."
Ruby: Wh…what…?
Weiss: …"Police were contacted when parents reportedly noticed what appeared to be…blood…and mucus…around the eyes and mouths of the mascots…"
Yang: Oh…oh Oum…
Weiss: …"One parent alikened them to…'reanimated carcasses.'"
Ruby: So…so the children…that got killed…
Yang: Their bodies were stuffed inside the animatronic suits…and…oh my Oum…
Blake: The animatronics are possessed by the angry spirits of the five dead children. (Quickly shut's the left door when Bonnie shows up.)
Ruby: But…why are they after us…we…we didn't do anything to them!
Weiss: It's just a game, Ruby…
Blake: My guess is because the company keeps sweeping the incidents under the rug to stay in business. So the angered children keep killing the people that work there until somebody takes notice. Weather or not they've been with the company for a while or just started.
Yang: This is so messed up…
Weiss: The last one-and this one is really important-says, "Local pizzeria said to close by years end. After a long struggle to stay in business after the tragedy that struck there many years ago, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has announced that it will close by year's end. Despite a year long search for a buyer, companies seem to be unwilling to be associated with the company." And then there's a quote from the CEO that says, "'These characters will live on. In the hearts of kids, these characters will live on.'"
Yang: Oh they're living on alright. But it's the kids that are living in the characters. Or…after living, at this point I guess.
Weiss: If that's even a phrase.
Yang: If it isn't, then I just invented it!
Blake: 4 AM. And 46% power left. So far so good.
Ruby: Still all those kids…why would someone do something like that…
Blake: Why does anyone do anything? That's the better question. Some people uphold the law because they believe it's the right thing to do. Others break it, just because they can. Whether it be out curiosity, or if it's just their nature.
[PAUSE]
Yang: Dark.
Weiss: You sound like you're saying that from experience.
Ruby: She is.
[PAUSE]
Yang: Oh…right…
Blake: Yeah…
[PAUSE]
Weiss: Ahem…people in the comments…don't ask any questions about what Blake means by that…it's….personal…please respect that…
Yang: Aaaaaaaaaannywaaaaays…so! Blake. Andrew Cunningham. What's he liiiiiiike.~
Blake: …what…?
Yang: Y'know, cute? Handsome? Ripped?
Blake: What, Yang, not now, I'm trying to concentrate. And I just met him, so I don't know how to answer that.
Yang: Okay, fine. I'll just ask him myself them.
Ruby: You'll like him sis! Trust me!
Yang: I think I will.
[LATER]
Blake: Okay…5 PM…10 % power…should be almost…
[Clock dings]
Blake: Done.
[Clock changes to six. Sounds of children cheering are heard.]
Ruby: And another night bites the dust.
Yang: Phew. Horror games are intense.
[Third night cues up.]
Blake: Nope, done for tonight. (Exits to the Title Screen)
Ruby: Okay, so! We're all done with night two of Five Nights at Freddy's, and only three more nights left to go! In the next night, Freddy will finally come off his stage, no doubtedly making things more difficult more difficult for us.
Yang: Freddy's never gone up against me before! Bring it on you scary ass teddy bear!
Ruby: (giggles) If you guys have any other suggestions for scary games this month, please let us know and we'll check them out!
Weiss: And if you have any non-scary games, those are welcome too.
Yang: Wait…Weiss are you…enjoying this…?
Weiss: (Face turns a little pink) …maybe…
Yang: Weiss is enjoying video games!
Ruby: Yay! I knew it would happen!
Weiss: Okay, fine, I am, but I would like to play something that doesn't have the potential to give me nightmares.
[Cue Psycho Mantis battle (Twin Snakes version) at 1:24.]
Blake: She has a point, Ruby. I know how much you like Halloween, but if all we play this month are scary games, we might all be getting frequent nightmares from all of the different scares that happen.
Ruby: Okaaaaayyy…I guess that makes sense. So yeah! What Weiss and Blake said, let us know! Thanks for watching everybody! This is Team RWBY signing off!
Team RWBY: Bye!
