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!

I don't know but I'm glad it's stopped.

[Coming over to Mr West's side, Keith shot the bear an uneasy glance in case it was somehow just biding its time. It really didn't seem about to move though and he turned his attention to Wally's hand with a concerned frown.]

I'm sorry you got hurt. You were trying to protect me. Thank you. And again, thank you.

[It was worse knowing Mr West hadn't needed to defend him and it was only because Keith had lied that he'd thought he had to be the one to stop the robot.... Although maybe Keith's powers wouldn't have done much against it either. They'd been lucky no matter how he thought about it.]

Did you want me to help you get to a doctor?

Nah, it's not that big a deal. [Wally said quickly, smiling at Keith reassuringly.] I'll heal in no time.

[Worst he'd need was making sure it was set properly if it was broken, and then a couple of large burgers to take care of his metabolism while it healed.]

Though if it's all the same to you, do you think you can keep the powers thing to yourself? I've got a secret identity to maintain and all.
efflations: (good work everyone!)

A secret identity? ...You don't mean like a hero do you?

[Mr West was a hero? But why would a hero be working a job like this?

...oh, right. He could've heard the same stories Keith had and decided to investigate too. Did that mean he was really-]


You can trust me Mr West! I won't tell anyone, I promise! But, if you're a hero, does this mean you're really...?

[Wally laughs, a bit embarrassed to hear it phrased like that. Geez, Keith might even manage to give Captain Marvel a run for the 'boyscout' title.]

Yeah, I'm a superhero. You've probably guessed already, but I'm the Flash, the fastest man alive.

That's amazing! Truly amazing!

[He grins and pats Mr West - the Flash! he's a hero! - on the shoulder.]

So am I! I'm a hero too!
