This means the candy, the animatronics, and anything else considered the property of the owners. Your pay will be the minimum wage for security guards with your experience(50 bits an hour). Your shift will begin at 12am on the dot. Do not clock in late or you will be penalized. Your shift ends at 6am. You will also have the opportunity to receive promotions based on your performance. Please note that any messing around with the property will cause you a fine for the first time and termination the second time.

Thank You for choosing Pinkie's Funland as your employment.

Well, this'll be fun, thought the pony standing outside the building to Pinkie's Funland reading the employee greeting slip. Trapped in a building for six hours for a week. Yippee.

 

It was 11:30 p.m. as the pony walked into the establishment. Dusty, old-fashioned, cobwebs everywhere, no wonder nobody likes this place. It's a dump. Continuing through his new workplace, Frank made mental notes in his mind on what to do in any possible situation. He didn't want the job, but he certainly didn't want to lose it on his first night.

 

Hmm... I can use that to beat anypony who breaks in up; if that doesn't work, I'll fall back to the supply closet and see what I can do there. If all else fails, maybe I can shove that century-old jar of candy down their throats. Frank snickered aloud at his own joke. The noise reflected off of the ancient, faded walls, making it sound more like a dropped set of keys.

 

Staying on the move before his shift started, Frank finally made it to the main dining area. Yeesh, were these party hats ever actually worn by the kids who came here? Navigating through the dark, gridded maze of the party tables, Frank suddenly found himself at the foot of the show stage. Looking up, he saw three of the most ungodly pieces of technology ever built. Good thing I never came here as a kid, Frank thought as he stared into the dead, metallic eyes of what he guessed was the main animatronic. Eventually, Frank moved to his workstation, the guard's office, mumbling to himself, "I'm gonna be seeing those things in my sleep," as three sets of dead, metallic eyes followed his movement down the hallway.

 

Finally making his way to the office, Frank once again noticed how dingy and unkempt the place actually was. Cobwebs in every corner, crumpled up pieces of paper, even a few cups of what Frank assumed to be soda. Deciding not to work in such unsanitary conditions, Frank used the remaining five minutes before his shift to clean up a bit. When he was finally finished, Frank clocked in his work card at the machine in the back of the office, and settled in for a long, long night.

Pinkie's Funland was pristine at one time, but due to parties and employees who thought they deserved a better job, the place was dirty and dull. The owner had made plans to renovate the entire building once certain affairs were in order. 

The phone began to ring on the wall near the employee office. The phone was a retro style, imitating ones found in the old western times. 

[EnderPrince 49]

"Gah!" exclaimed Frank as he heard the ring. Locating the source of the unfarmiliar noise, Frank answered the phone. At least, he tried to. "How do these things work?" he asked himself while trying to get the earpiece off. Then, noticing the speaker button, Frank stopped pulling, sighed, and pushed the button, wondering who in the world would call there, of all places, especially at this hour.

"Hello?" The voice echoed, "You got to use the phone like a can on a string....you know, like in your younger years when you were a foal and played telemarketer? Or was I the only one? Anywho, let me introduce myself. I am the guy whose job you took. Dont be alarmed or anything, I got a promotion and now I work as head of security. I would be there with you tonight, but I needed a week off. Companies orders and all. I won't waste too much of your time for the first night. I dont know if you ever went here as a foal or little one, because I never did; thank you parents. The animatronics...they were just so...creepy. Like, who wants to see that when they are little? Just those eyes looking into yours as if they were staring into your soul." The phone begins to crackle and fill with static. "Hello? Helloooo?"

[EnderPrince 49]

"Sir? Sir! Can you hear me?" Frank practically screamed into the phone. "Aw, buck, I lost him." Jeez, the only orientation for this job is some old guy on a phone and he doesn't even say anything! This is just great. 

 

For the next half hour, Frank spent his time looking around the office and thinking about what the old guy said. "Like, who wants to see them when they are little? Just those eyes looking into yours as if they were staring into your soul." 

 

The first thought in Frank's mind was, I knew I wasn't the only pony who thought those things are creepy! The second though in Frank's mind was, Wait, staring into your soul? Oh, crap, what have I gotten myself into?

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

"W-Wait!" But it was too late; the new employee hung up on him. He was about to reveal more information about the establishment. Without the knowledge he was about to give, the new employee wouldnt survive through the night.

It was now 1am and something was out of place. Something that one pony couldn't move by himself. A lone light flickers in the main dining room.

[EnderPrince 49]

*flick* *flick* *flick*

 

About 5 minutes after Frank lost the man on the phone, he found what looked like a tablet, but bigger and older-looking. The words "Camera" and "On" were written on the back in faded permanent marker. Flicking the switch that was labed "On," a display of the main dining area appeared on the screen.

 

"Oh, so this is like the security camera monitor. And if I tap these,..." Frank said while tapping the icons on the lower right, "...the cameras will switch!" He kept fiddling with the cameras until he saw what looked like a frayed phone cable in the hallway next to his office. "That must be why the call dropped earlier. Maybe I can fix that, if there's some electrical tape around here." Once again, Frank searched the office: every corner, every nook, every cranny until he found what he was looking for. "Yes! I knew there would be some in here!"

 

Frank took the electrical tape and walked into the hallway to the right of his office. Finding the frayed phone wire, Frank efficiently wrapped some electrical tape around the exposed part. When the job was completed, Frank thought he heard... talking. Yes, something was definatly talking, but something was off. Frank knew it. It sounded like it was coming out of a tinny old speaker from the 80's. Standing up, Frank turned around and began to walk back to his office, but stopped. He dropped the electrical tape amd stared at the wall, mouth agape. All over the wall, written in something, was the message, "It's me."

 

Terrified, Frank sprinted back to his office, and checked the cameras on the tablet. What Frank saw on the monitor, no matter which camera it was, scared him more than the message in the hallway.

 

Every single camera display was black.

Tap...tap...tap...Pinkie~
A loud but rapid tapping noise echoed in the room. Soon, all the lights turned off and faint but familiar tune played. The tune was the theme song for one of the animatronics. A large pink pony made of metals and wires suddenly appeared behind the the new employee. Before the pony could react, the pink metal pony knocked him out and dragged him to a room marked 'Maintenance'.

From there, the pink pony stuffed the nightguard into an empty suit the shape of a stallion with a red coat and apple for a cutie mark. This particular suit was a new arrival; ordered by the current owner for a more diverse character line-up. If the pony had survived the blow to the head, the pressure of being forcefully stuffed into the suit would have killed him for in the suit there where sharp edges, poorly wired circuits and little to no room to move.

Japan Cat woke up like any other day.

Checking his E-mail, Making Breakfast and Checking for mail.

He found a letter in his postbox.

He opens it up it had the Pinkie's Funland logo in the corner.

Reading through he finds out that he is starting his Nightguard job tonight.

"Sugoi! Kono jobu wa, kantan ni okane ni narudarou!" He exclaims to himself

(Awesome! This job is going to be easy money!)

 

Time passes...

Japan Cat grabs his jacket and his PSP and starts walking to Pinkie's Funland.

You see the establishment on the horizon. The building was pink with various designs of rainbows, happy pony faces, and flowers. A big brightly coloured logo on top of the building could be seen. It read, Pinkie Pie's Funland in pink letters outlined with purple. 

[EddG 554]

Japan cat looks at the building before entering and exclaims to himself.

"Kiyo-shi wa, do no yona kawaii tatemono!"

(Huh, What a cute building).

He walks inside there were tables with pony figurines on them, Pony animatronics standing in the corner and a desk where most likely the meals were ordered.

"Kon'nichiwa? Koko ni dare?"

(Hello? Anyone there?)

He asks at the desk.

"Watashi wa yakei no shigoto no tame ni koko ni iru."

(I'm here for the Nightwatch job)

@@EddG,

As soon as the new employee enters the building, the phone rings on the wall next to the security office. The office was of course next to the employee's office. The building was clean for the most part. There were some stains on the wall from years of use. The floor was clean where it counted, but the corners were filthy. Some corners were mildewed with fuzzy candy stuck to them. The animatronics were clean on the outside, but there seemed to be a foul odor coming from them. 

[EddG 554]

Japan Cat heared the phone ring inside a lit up room.

The room had a neat desk, a tablet laying on it, A coke vending machine, a candy vending machine and a fairly beat up computer running Windows 2000.

He awnsers the ringing phone with curiousity.

"K-konichiwa? Nihon Neko desu"

(Hello? It is Japan Cat)

"Koni-what? I don't understand the language you are speaking...sheesh, they must really be desperate for workers. I hope you can understand me cause what I have to tell you is important. So welcome to Pinkie Pies Funland, a place of fantasy and fun. You are the night guard and your duties include making sure all of the companies establishment assets are safe....this includes the creepy animatronics. Oh, and no tampering with the animatronics either...any evidence will result in your termination. Uh....lets see....I want to tell you that these animatronics get a little weird at night....either something in their circuits or programming. Whatever it is, it causes them to wander around. Now normally this wouldnt be an issue...but...since you are new here, they don't recognize you...in fact, they think you are one of them...but without a suit. If they catch you, they'll stuff you in one and you dont want that...those suits are tightly fitted over all those wires and metal skeletons. Now I dont know if you know the charactrs, so I'll tell you them before you hang up on me like the last employee. Pinkie Pie is the main animatronic. Shes an odd ball at times, but mostly harmless if you keep an eye on her. Fluttershy...thats the yellow animatronic...shes quite shy so she wont move as much as the others. Rainbow Dash is that one in the Cloudsdale section...shes a wildcard...theres no telling if she'll move or not if you look at her or not. Uh....lets see...Oh, the last one is Applejack....the orange animatronic. She moves around just the same as the others...sooooo yeah, good luck on your first day." The voice on the phone hangs up and the clock now reads 1:30am 

[EddG 554]

Japan Cat puts the phone back not understanding much.

He turns the computer on.

"Kono furui konpyuuta ga kinoo suru nodarou ka."

(I wonder if this old compter works.)

He says to himself waiting for it to load.

He notices the tablet on the table and looks at the screen.

It shows cameras of the areas.

"Korera no robotto wa tashika bukimidesu"

(Those robots sure are creepy)

He says as he watches the Animatronics on the screen.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

One animatronic is gone from its usual spot; it was Pinkie Pie. The rest of the animatronics were still in their places. Suddenly the screen goes black and the words, Help me, flash on the screen before returning back to normal functions.Another thirty minutes pass.

[EddG 554]

Japan cat looks at the screen confused.

"Nani datte?"

(What was that)

He says to himself looking at the screen.

He notices that the Pink Robot has moved.

"Doko pinku no robotto wa aru?"

(Where is the pink robot?)

He asks himself as he watches the screen. Something about watching the cameras was interesting to him.

@@EddG,
The Pinkie Pie animatronic had moved to a room adjacent from the one she was normally in. She looked straight ahead as if to be staring at something. Carousel music was being played in the background followed by a large crash in the kitchen area.  The cameras remained on and all of the other animatronics remained in their places.

[EddG 554]

@Rainbow Dash

Japan Cat jumped hearing the crash.

"Nani!"

(What!)

He scanned the rooms using the cameras and notices the Pinkie Pie robot looking back at his camera.

"Bukimina..."

(Creepy...)

He whispers to himself as he near enough stares back at the robotic pony.

Japan cat starts to feel hungry so he gets up and buys himself a bar of chocolate.

@@EddG,
Three hours in and the only Animatronic to move was Pinkie Pie. As soon as the camera was off her, Pinkie Pie moved closer to the snack bar. The rustling of candy drew her closer to the night guard. Just then a loud crash was heard near the back. Another Animatronic moved
