FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S MEME
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!

A flashlight? That's your master plan?
You sure you're not taking this whole security guard thing a bit too literally?
[Of course he can't help but tease his brother, even if there's a part of him that's a little glad he seems to prefer at least Rebellion. The guns, not so much, but that's just Dante being Dante.
Under any other circumstances, the comment about dying would have crossed the line for Vergil, but as it stands, it's...actually pretty justified. There's a moment where the elder twin gives a look of warning, signaling that he's giving his brother a pass on this one, but it's not going to be a habit.
As soon as he's sure the tacit idea is understood, that look fades seamlessly as though it had never been there at all.]
You kill a guy one time and he never lets you live it down.
[He says casually, checking the screens again.
In truth, he hated that he had to kill his brother, but it had been necessary to awaken his Devil Trigger. He knows all too well how difficult that moment is, and he wanted to be absolutely sure that Dante had the motivation of their rivalry to see him through it. If there's one thing Vergil knows, it's that Dante's desire to kick his ass when he's wrong is something that can surpass even death itself. Which is why he had to keep being a jerk -- the whole way up the tower, he had to keep Dante fighting in earnest.
Of course, he realizes now that the lasting effects of that plan far outweighed the use it had at the time, but the demon world is kind of a bullshit place to grow up, in that it makes you forget how any emotion other than anger works. All Vergil had counted on was Dante being mad at him -- what he didn't expect was that desperate look he gave to watch his brother choose to return to the demon world.
He's regretted that decision since that very instant.
Returning his attention to the question, he responds.]
Necessary, in this case, means "Don't attack them unless they move to attack you first".

[And he happily teases his brother right back.]
Just making sure.
[If Virgil is upset about the whole incident, then he's the only one. Truth be told, there are much more upsetting things that happened during Virgil's attempt to gain power. Killing Dante is at the bottom of the list of his problems with his brother's actions that day. Most of his best friends have tried to kill him at least once. Still, he can tell Virgil doesn't like the fact that he brought it up, and lets it drop.
Dante was furious at Virgil during the entire ordeal, and he even shocked himself when he tried to encourage Virgil to give up his plans. Maybe it was seeing Lady's devotion to her own family, or maybe it was the realization that Virgil was the only family he had left. Either way, in the end, he found out how hard it was to truly hate his own brother.
That being said, his first impulse when he heard that Virgil planned on returning to the demon world was still to kick his ass for it. They say the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. By that logic, his brother clearly belonged on the funny farm. However, unless it puts the rest of humanity at danger, Dante knows he can't stop Virgil, and the best he can do is try to talk him out of it every chance he gets.]
I'd say that's what they're moving to do right now, but I can wait. Just let me know when your little study is done so I can take care of them and get paid for this gig.
[Speaking of, what were those critters doing now? He peers over to the cameras.]
And if you want to be able to do that, you better open the door. The thing's just sucking up power.
