FNAF - Poster Edges

You can't...

My nightmares and hallucinations have been haunted by the angry spirits of those children who went missing. And now, too, by the wrath of these animatronics, who are aggressive at night, as I work. Their violent programming, I believe. The machines are acting stranger and stranger, doing well with kids, but staring daggers at adults. I'm getting uneasy, but I'll wear a calm face... You know, the laughter of the kids used to do something wonderful to me, a sweet sound resonant in my heart. I've always liked kids more than other adults. And how darling was the mannequin left behind, when the laughter went silent.  I have no remorse over those nights, and yet much regret. After hearing that bear's distorted laugh every night, I long for the laughter of children. Is his voice box going? Or is it something I can't fix? What have I done..... Just the other night, I swear I heard a kid laughing, and I saw Freddy out of the corner of my eye as I went to look at the camera feed, but he was gone the moment I looked back at him. I should have panicked, but I didn't. I heard a sweet giggle which sedated my anxiety. I wanted to hear laughter again. I see the phantom children and angry robots in my nightmares, so I've thought up something. I will make these robots laugh. Maybe then I would find some peace around them, plus it would be company for once at night. I don't get much interaction here anymore, working the night shift. I miss working in the day, with all the kids around. But the animatronics, I was the first they began to stare at... First was that creepy puppet... Do they know? ...Things change for the better tonight though, cuz tonight I've invited the kids over. I could get in trouble for this, I am encouraging kids to sneak out of their homes and come here after hours. It's the only time I'd be able to do this. I've assembled a set of stocks, wasn't too hard, only took an afternoon. The hard part was lugging it in and out of the van and into the restaurant. I also managed to access some of the robots programming remotely. I had studied a bit of computer language before dropping out of college. I couldn't do anything about their aggression, kept resulting in syntax errors, and turning them off was limited as admin privileges. But, I did find some interesting unused variables and processes in there, one of which was something designed to mimic tickling. Seemed to already be complete, I guess it was so kids could tickle them, back when the robots roamed around during the day. A simple flip of a Boolean switch, and it was active again. Getting them in the stocks before the kids arrive will be the tricky part, but I tested all this out before sending out the invites. I found that commanding a self-diagnostic process causes the robots to stand still while they examine themselves. I was able to get the main three in place before their night roaming protocol kicked in. I was able to get the three main ones in the stocks before their night-roam protocol kicked in, but I had to use the diagnostic exploit to get Foxy subdued, it was almost midnight and I didn't wanna risk him coming after me. Tied all their arms to their legs with some thick rope for good measure, and then I was all set. Now to wait for the kids. I think I hear someone knocking on the back door....
Ahh, wow,  what a turn out! To believe telling a couple kids to spread the word would get so many here. Gotta be a dozen or so kiddos, at least. Some look a bit confused by the whole thing, but most look like they're having fun with them. One of them told me I made the robots less creepy looking for her. I told her there was nothing to fear from Freddy or his gang and that she should come back and see us sometime. It's funny, as distorted as his laugh may sound when roaming, he almost sounds like when he's singing when he's being tickled. But ya know what the best part of this is? After a while, I almost could swear the robots laughter turned... Child-like. What music to my ears. It makes my blood surge and my mind flex in indescribable ways... I love it. I've missed this. The kids don't seem to notice the change, but I certainly do. And to me, that's all that matters. Excuse me kids, I need to go make a recording, you all be good and have fun, alright? I'll be back in a little bit...
Hello? Hellooo?...


My only regret is choosing to make the robots just as creepy as in the game. Will make cute fanart of them sometime. XP Same as the original in the main section of the gallery, apart from the glaring difference of the "poster edges" effect I slapped on in Photoshop.
