FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S MEME

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S



During the day, it's a place of joy. But you aren't here during the day. Maybe you've desperate for a bit of cash, and ignored the ominous warning on the newspaper ad. Maybe you've eaten at the pizzaria since you were a child, and thought that taking up a job here can't possibly go wrong. Or maybe you're just playing the game under your bed covers at 2am.

Because seriously, who the fuck would work here for more than one day.

This is a meme based of the new horror game, Five Nights at Freddy's. As you would expect, this is a horror meme. Therefore, warnings for blood, gore, mutilation, and if you're really fucking scared of living dolls and the like you might want to think twice before posting here. A playthrough for the brave, and a small snippet for the faint of heart:

You've been hired as the night guard at a pizzaria called 'Freddy Fazbear's Pizza', and it seems that the animatronics seem to get a bit... quirky at night. On your first day, a phone recording from the previous guards starts to play, and it explains that you can't let the animatronics see you, or they will force you into an animatronic suit. And with all those wires and cogs in an animatronic suit? Yeah, that isn't going to end well.

Unfortunately, you can't just close the doors and pray to whatever deity you believe in. You've got limited power (you know, budget cuts) to make it through from 12am to 6am. Checking security cameras to see where each animatronic is, turning on the hallway lights outside your guardpost, closing the doors- all of these take up power. Use it all up? Black out, and you're left exposed. Good luck surviving that.

The guy on the phone is good at giving you tips, at least-- but these robots don't just seem to be... robots. They only move when you're not looking, and when you are looking, they have a tendency to look straight at the screen. (People who've seen Bonnie at Cam 5 will know how batshit terrifying this is.) And they seem to be... rather intelligent. Wait, did that one just talk?

There's 4 animatronics- Bonnie the purple bunny, Chica the chicken, Foxy the fox and Freddy the bear. Foxy's special, in the sense that it's got a whole area to itself and if you don't watch it enough, it will run down the fucking hallway. Freddy rarely leaves the stage... but he will if you run out of power. Oops.

You've got to balance limited power, limited view and trust that lady luck is on your side-- just to survive to 6am.

Good luck, sport.


Options:

1. FIRST DAY: You and your new co-worker take the job as night security. Maybe you're childhood friends, maybe you're strangers to each other. But when the phone recording starts playing and you both realize this isn't exactly what you two signed up for, you'd better start working together. Fast.

2. OVERTIME: Maybe you're a sucker for the paranormal or you seriously have a death wish, but you haven't quit the job yet. Quite the contrary, in fact. You're working doubly hard. Except tonight, it seems that they're getting more... lively. Hey, did the rabbit just speak--

3. FUCK THIS SHIT: Hell no are you staying cooped up in the guard room. You're going out of there. Maybe you're gonna investigate the back rooms, maybe you're going to find someplace else to hide, or maybe, if you're actually sane, you're going to try finding a way to escape. Still, is that a the music box theme song you hear nearby? Maybe leaving wasn't the best idea...

4. THEY GOT YOU: Uh oh. Well, they're here. Time to say your last words before you get brutally slaughtered by walking talking animatronics.

5. CHECK PIRATE COVE GODDAMMIT: Hiring more than one guard was a mistake, because in the heat of the moment, you're arguing over what to do. Maybe they want you to close the door, but you've only got 20% left and 3 hours to go. Maybe they want to look at another camera. In any case, try to settle this dispute fast, or something else is going to do it for you.

6. WHY IS IT DARK: Oops, out of power. Quick, play dead!

7. JUST PLAYING THE GAME: You're not actually stuck in a life-or-death situation. You're just playing it on your computer. It's still fucking terrifying, though.

8. YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME: Or make your own prompts!

[Thank you for following his orders so well, Zhang Liao. Chen Gong can't possibly be doing this without you.

And really, all his 'freaking out' in the past is the effect of not having to actually fight tooth and nail for his life. Knowing him, he's probably gotten into pretty deep trouble before, maybe out of being too smart or out of trying to stay away from trouble too hard.

He still has a dream to accomplish, dammit. He's going to be an A-list celebrity, and there is no fucking way these goddamn animatronics are going to stop that. In fact, he'll use them to give himself (and Zhang Liao as a sideproduct) attention. That's what he'll do.]

For a few seconds, all the cameras flickered to darkness. ...That chicken. ['Chicken', what a comical word. But when he switches on the light temporarily and sees the fucking thing planted to the goddamn window he feels shivers everywhere on his body.]

It was looking straight at the camera.

Do you really believe they're just harmlessly wandering animatronics?

[800isenough]

[They make a pretty good pair. This is actually the first time he's been stuck just with Chen Gong; most of the time they were with Lu Bu to the point where all the campus staff knew them as Lu Bu's posse.

He scowls at the bird; and grimaces when it cracks its head a little, just enough to meet his glare head-on. God damn it.]

So it can disable the cameras? We'll have to be more careful then...

I don't know what they are, but they're definitely making an effort to get into this room. We should probably look for something to fight them off with. Hopefully it won't have to come to that but...seriously Chen Gong, have you heard of this Bite of '87? I haven't.

[He's casting his eyes about. Maybe he can use that broom stick at the corner; the head's left with just a couple of stray twigs and the handle feels dusty and grimy, but it's solid and should do well for an impromptu weapon.]

[failednamesake]

[He nods at that- they can disable the cameras, alright. And you can go arming yourself, Zhang Liao. Chen Gong's puny arms probably can't put a single dent in them, let's be real here.]

I haven't heard of it. Perhaps that part was a joke. [Pause.] Or it was covered-up.

[That is also an unfortunately distinct possibility. With how they covered up crazy robots? Yeah. He's not considering this a prank anymore, because this- this is too real. He can almost... sniff the blood and mucus off them, as if he knew how they both smelled of together.]

Perhaps it's a vengeful spirit. [That's something of a joke, but he doesn't look too amused with himself. He opens up the right door as Chica disappears.]

[800isenough]

[One stick doesn't feel good enough. Maybe he needs a second one...Zhang Liao checks out the jumble of junk strewn around the room, hoping to find something else to make into an impromptu weapon if needed.]

Probably covered up. [He calls out over his back, as he pushes an old electric fan out of the way.] Though I wonder how the guy on the phone knew about it then.

[For some strange reason there's part of an old pipe here. Zhang Liao picks it up and tests its weight with his hands; should be good enough for their purpose.]

A vengeful spirit? Come on Chen Gong, ghosts aren't real. [He's never been a believer in the supernatural.] It's probably just the circuits gone crazy. We'll get out of her in the morning and tell the management to fix the damn things before we get a bite of '14 or something.

[He offers the broomstick to Chen Gong.]

Here. You might need this.

[failednamesake]

[Yeah, this is... this is quite something. Chen Gong's good at playing this game multitasking and learning things quickly, at least-- his intelligence and adaptability is only shadowed by his pride and rather unlikeable buttering-up behavior.]

Well, it was probably easier to cover things up in 1987. [He'll... take the broomstick. What. What good will these be for, jamming the animatronics in the face??? Chen Gong doesn't believe the animatronics accidentally murderers (yet), but at the same time, he doesn't think this piece of wood will help him curb off a huge metallic robot.

Sob.] And I'd think ghosts are quite real, just much less reliable than most account them for.

Hey, Zhang Liao, did you look up the turnover rate for this job? [He would expect it to be pretty high, with that dumbass pay- but at the same time, it was an easy job. Just sit there for 6 hours, probably have time to do your homework at the same time. Or sleep.]

[800isenough]

[This really isn't the time for him to be debating about the supernatural with Chen Gong, but he's really having to suppress the urge to eye-roll. He's never gotten along very well with his roomie despite having known him for quite some time; their personality just clash too much and Chen Gong tends to rub him the wrong way. His fuse just gets a little shorter when he's around the skinny boy's presence...and it continues to eaten away bit by bit by his temper.]

The women I spoke to said that most people take this job for about three to four days. They were in here only for a quick buck. That made sense to me at the time [because ah ha ha ha ha FOUR DOLLARS AN HOUR you have to be desperate...just like he was...] so I didn't ask any further.
