Yuuna was leading Lunar and Earth towards the daycare. It was still early morning, but the human seemed chipper as can be, honestly, it a mystery how she could be so sweet so early. "Okay, so, we're probably not gonna have a lot of kids this morning, but hopefully this will help ease you guys into it!" She beamed as she pushed open the doors.

The lobby entrance was mostly sparse and empty. Teal-ish walls and the orangish couches and metal chairs scattered about. The tvs mounted high on the walls were currently turned off. The carpet was dark with flecks of colors meant to mimic stars or something. There were a gray oval platform in the middle, sectioned off by posts.

Earth blinked. "Oh, my is this where we're going to be working for now on?" She asked. Yuuna shook her head. "No, this is just the drop off area, but you can slightly see the daycare from here!" She reassured, pointing over the railing nearby where the reddish-orange netting hanging from the ceiling was, before heading ahead of them a bit. Lunar could see that stars on the ceiling and what looked like a mockup of a tower on the wall.

But the gray oval drew his attention a bit more. It felt like something should've been there. "Why is there like this empty space right there?" He wondered aloud, running his hands over the fabric cables connecting each pole. Earth tilted her head. "Um, I'm not sure?"

Lunar hummed. "Maybe like an animal? We could put that gator in there." He joked, snickering. Earth looked surprised before trying to hold back a laugh. "Oh, that's a nice thought." She replied, before noticing a poster nearby. "Hm?"

It was a standard video surveillance warning poster. Alerting anyone that this place probably had enough cameras to make a photographer jealous. "This area is under 24 hour surveillance. Oh, well isn't that nice to know, I bet that helps parents feel secure!" The taller daycare attendant remarked, but Lunar kept looking around. This place felt...

"This place doesn't really look done, does it?" He commented. Earth started to talk but a familiar voice interrupted. "It ain't done!"

The two daycare bots turned the heads to see Roxas and Bonnie standing by a check in desk with Yuuna, who was behind the desk scanning in her badge. Bonnie nodded, sat on the desk with one leg crossed over the other. "Yeah, far from it actually."

The other two walked over to the rockstars, though Lunar paused to squint at the carpet. "Is that... water damage?" He wondered. The rabbit shook her head. "No, it's burn damage." She clarified, to which Roxas nodded.

Earth let out a small 'oh', but Lunar narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean burn damage? What?" He questioned. Roxas raised a brow. "I mean, I think it's self explanatory, unless you just slow-"

Yuuna looked up from signing in, gasping. "Roxas!" She scolded with a pout. "That is not little star friendly language! You know the rules when in the daycare area!" She reminded him. Roxas chuckled and rolled his eyes playfully. "Yes, Miss Navens, I know. I'm so sorry." He responded back in a placating tone.

Bonnie nodded. "Yeaaah. Well, a lot of stuff in here got scorched-" She was cut off by Earth and Lunar asking very fair questions. Like was it safe to be there, was it even safe for children to be there. The wolf sighed after a moment of the overlapping voices, pushing off the desk to straighten out his jacket.

"It's safe enough for the little pups." He assured, adjusting his belt. Bonnie nodded, leaning over the desk to see whatever Yuuna was doing, though it didn't seem to be interesting as she kept up with the conversation. "Yeah, everything's structurally sound." She chimed in.

Earth frowned. "I don't like operating under 'safe enough', I'd prefer it to be top of the line safe." She stated, to which Roxas chuffed and shrugged. "Well, kid ain't gonna die... Not this time at least." He said it like he thought it would be reassuring, but judging by the way Yuuna tensed and Bonnie kicked his shin, it definitely came off the wrong way.

Yuuna got up from the desk, done signing in. "Oh, goodness. I get why we take tech security so seriously, but I should not have to do a five-step verification just to clock into an area." She muttered, dusting off her vest before coming around. "Okay, enough of gloomy talk. We have work!" She reminded them.

Lunar glanced behind her desk, noticing a couple plushies. A blue moon character and a yellow sun. "Oh, it's those guys again-" He didn't get to fully finish his sentence or look at the dolls as Bonnie was shoving him forward. "Keep up with Yuuna, Lunar, she's faster than she looks!"

Which was true, since Yuuna was already walking down the pathway, with Roxas and Earth not far behind. Lunar jogged a bit to catch up with them while Bonnie lagged behind to make sure he wasn't the last one. "Now, over here we have a couple of party rooms. These ones are typically booked for the younger kids parties or smaller events," The human was explaining, Lunar was only half listening.

The smaller unit ran his hand along the sky patterned wall, peering into the party room. A bunch of tables and chairs and a small stage. Basic, but definitely smaller than the party rooms in the other areas. The lights were turned off and when Lunar tried to the doorknob, it didn't open. "We're never gonna find out what happened here, are we?" The smaller daycare bot remarked to Earth.

Yuuna visibly tensed, her grip on her clipboard a little tighter, exhaling a shaky breath, but Bonnie butted in before she could say anything. "No! Hopefully not!" Her tone was a lot harsher than someone just trying to avoid a tragedy. It was awkwardly quiet for a moment.

Yuuna cleared her throat, turning around smiling again. Though Lunar could tell it was a little more forced. "How about we just get downstairs?" She suggested.

Roxas and Bonnie pushed open the big wooden, medieval-style doors to the daycare, letting the others in. The daycare itself was... Rough looking in Lunar's opinion. Sure, the padded floors and mats where fine, and the security desk actually looked brand new. But the jungle gyms were unlit and there was barely any toys or play houses. The ball pit was overflowing with the colorful spheres, fenced off with castle wall themed half walls and two towers on either side. The whole place smelled like disinfectant over smoke.

The kids, there were maybe about five, were sat in middle, criss-cross applesauce style, around a staff or. Well, not a regular staffbots. This one's torso was painted to look like a suit and had a bowler hat on.... And he was telling God awful jokes.

"What rhymes with word? Bird. Ha. Ha. Ha." It's voice was more echo-y and staccato compared to the other animatronic. The children were quietly whispering amongst themselves like they'd rather be anywhere else.

Bonnie sighed and shook her head silently as she crossed her arms under her chest. "Oh, those poor kids." She murmured. Lunar blinked slowly. "That... Wasn't even a joke. What- what was that?" He questioned, gesturing with his arms as he looked at the two band members.

Even Yuuna was struggling to keep a smile as Roxas' ears twitched. "That was, um,... Comedy Bot." The animatronic handler eventually said, her tone a bit more pitying. "Management lost the comedian we usually hire for one of the restaurants so they... Reprogrammed a staff bot." She explained awkwardly.

"Humanity. More like, boring my nanny." Lunar gestured wildly to it, looking at the pastel haired woman. "That thing's name is Comedy Bot?" Yuuna shrugged awkwardly. "I didn't say they programmed it well." She replied, rubbing the back of her neck.

Earth cleared her throat. "Okay, maybe we should... go in?" She suggested, to which Yuuna nodded, stepping towards the group of kids with the animatronics trailing behind her.

"Quiet coyotes!" She chimed. The children all turned to look at her, like rats fleeing water. "Okay, little stars, today, we have a super special announcement!" Yuuna began as upbeat as she seemed to do everything. "I'd like you to meet your new daycare attendants, Lunar and Earth! Now, remember, show them just as much respect as you would your main caregivers!" She announced, doing a fanfare noise and stepping to the side so the kids could better see the two.

Earth nodded and stepped closer, crouching to not be as overwhelmingly tall. "Hello, little explorers!" She greeted. Lunar gave a mock salute, making sure to move just enough so his hat made the jingling noise. "Sup?" That got a slight giggle from the kids. Earth smiled. "How's everyone doing today?" She asked, to various degrees of 'ehhhh' and 'suffering'.

Lunar crouched next to one, maybe 4 at most, wearing a mask of some sort. Clearly probably not of a Fazbear character. "Oh, whatcha got there, wearing a mask?" He asked in a whisper, to which the kid nodded. "Yah!" They replied.

The taller daycare attendant tilted her head. "Oh, that's super neat!" She stood up again, clapping her hands together. "Are you guys excited to have some fun today?" She questioned. The staff bot spoke up again. "They are having fun. With me."

Earth awkwardly didn't know how to respond glancing back at Yuuna, Roxas and Bonnie, who were by the security desk. Yuuna smiled and gave two thumbs up, encouraging her to keep going. "Well, how about instead of, uh, listening to jokes... How about we have some fun?" She said. Lunar nodded. "We got some games you could play, like the jungle gym-"

"Oh, uh, not the jungle gym!" Roxas warned. Earth paused, walking over to him and lowering her voice. "Why did we open with a jungle gym that's not functional?" She whispered. Bonnie raised her hands in a 'don't look at me' gesture.

While they were hashing that out, Yuuna was mostly distracted with getting the computer systems on at the security desk. She'd gotten a task to set everything up for that morning. She vaguely caught the tail end of the conversation of Lunar saying. "I-I'm sorry, like why is this place open right now?"

The human looked up from her task, sighing. "Because sadly, the higher ups in the Fazbear family prefer, um, profits? And our daycare makes a lot of cash." She explained, she clearly didn't like it either. "Although, I am a bit peeved as well, I was under the impression it was in better shape." She huffed under her breath as she went back to typing.

Earth frowned. "Kids are going to try to go in thst jungle gym, even though we've told them not to. In fact it might encourage them more!" She pointed out. Lunar scratched his cheek before snapping his fingers. "I got it!" He turned back to where the kids were.

"HEY!"

Five little faces turned to look over at Lunar, puzzled. "If you don't go in that jungle gym, I'll give you guys suckers at the end of the day!" He shouted, to which they all lit up and nodded excitedly. Earth looked down at him. "Do you have lollipops?" She asked, the smaller bot shrugged. "I'll find 'em somewhere."

"Not in this area, I'll see what I can do." Yuuna chimed, trying to ignore Roxas practically leaning over her, snout on her head. Earth sighed deeply and turned back to Roxas and Bonnie. "Okay, did their parents not see this when they dropped them off?"

Roxas snorted, content to use their handler as a head rest. "Oh, no, they probably did. But this is like.... well, put it this way. Your morning rush is usually like 30 plus kids. You got five here. So, a lot aren't here." He remarked as Yuuna grumbled something under her breath about 'Fazbear employee portal systems '.

Earth frowned, hands on her hips, tips of her hair turning a more storm cloud like color as she got agitated. "Well, I'm not sure what to do with the kids with the facility not safe yet!" She pointed out. There was a moment of silence before Bonnie spoke up. "I mean.... The ball pit's fine."

"What's funnier than Fazbear's OSHA violations? Nothing. Ha. Ha. Ha." Lunar had to hold back a laugh. Not from the joke. But from how Yuuna was trying so hard to keep that smile still and not visibly cringe, and failing. "You good?" He asked quietly. "Mhm, peachy keen!... Just get the kids away from him."

Earth nodded and walked back over, hair settling back to a softer cloudy white, Roxas muttered something about 'is it me or is she hot when angry' only to end up with Yuuna gasping and gently bopping his snout. "Alright, kids! How about we have a fun deep sea adventure in the ballpit?" She asked energetically.

Lunar nodded. "Yeah, we can play shark!" He chimed in. The kids all exchanged excited looks and grins, already eager to get up. Some complaining about sitting there for thirty minutes listening to those awful jokes. Oh these poor kids. "You guys can get in the ballpit, and then I'm gonna hunt you as a shark. Rrrrah!" He made a movement with his hands in front of his face like chomping jaws. He heard the kids giggle, and even a giggle from the desk where Yuuna was.

Yuuna moved to go help supervise at the ballpit while the other four animatronics talked. Mostly to make sure one kid didn't slip out and try to make it to the jungle gym. And to help some of the smaller kids in.

Earth sighed once the doors closed behind Comedy Bot. "So, what... is broken here that we have to be worried about?" She questioned, clearly upset she had not been properly informed of the state of things. Lunar hopped up onto the desk to be more at eye level with the others.

Bonnie thought for a moment, thumping her foot against the ground. "Uh...." Roxas thankfully spoke first. "Most of the jungle gyms. Uhh,... Floor's fine." He said. The rabbit nodded. "Yeah, floor is still a tad burnt some spots, but not awful." She added.

Earth nodded slowly. "I can see that. Are the toys safe to play with?" She questioned. Bonnie and Roxas both nodded. "Oh, yeah, they're- they're just plushies." The singer confirmed. "Uh, you shouldn't let the kids get behind the desk, cause that's where... typically you guys are gonna be working." Roxas informed, to which Earth nodded again. They had both gathered that. "Anything else?"

"The little castles on the side." Roxas said, pointing in the general direction. Lunar blinked, pointing a thumb in the same direction. "You mean the towers?" "Yeah, yeah, those."

Earth mentally catalogued what they were saying away, especially when they got to the lights. She adjusted her bow in her hair. "How long are these kids gonna be here?" She asked. "About six hours."...

"Six hours. Of small children playing in the ballpit? Is there a printer anywhere?" The green daycare attendant asked. Roxas gestured to the side. "There's plenty of paper in the gift shop." "Crayons and markers?" "Should also be in the gift shop, sugs."

"What about glue-" "No!" The swiftness in which the two bots said it almost made Lunar fall back. It was panicked. Bonnie sighed. "Glue is not allowed in here... not after last time." She explained. Earth nodded her head. "Okay, well, we should go get the supplies for the kids. Is Yuuna watching them?"

Lunar made his way over to the ballpit a bit to observe. "Hey, Yuuna!" The human looked over. "Hm?" "Tagging in, cupcake!" He said as he got into the foam castle wall, patting her shoulder. Yuuna blinked, stunned by the nickname, but nodded. "O-kay then!"

Lunar started playing shark with the kids, diving under the balls the chase them. While he was doing the gasping thing despite not needing to, part of it was an excuse to come up so he didn't sink down too much. How deep was this ballpit?!

Roxas snorted. "Hey yo, kids, remember you can gang up on the shark!" He reminded the kids. Who all suddenly paused and grinned mischievously before also diving under the sea of colorful spheres one by one. Lunar blinked. "Wha-"

Yuuna had to cover her mouth to stop a laugh as he suddenly shrieked like a little girl and was yanked under the colorful sea. Occasionally struggling and trying to come up. Bonnie was grinning, holding in snorts and chortles. "Can y'all like... Do this every day? And I come and I sit here and watch this go for... At least an hour?" She asked, clearly enjoying the show.

Earth shrugged, watching from the sidelines as well. "They look like they're having fun... I don't know if they'll do it for a whole hour though." She responded, as Lunar's hand rose from where he was being held down in the spheres by the children. "Ghk- Help! These kids are stronger than they look!" He blurted out.

Yuuna sighed. "I'll help him." She pushed off the foam wall and into the ballpit, making a slight ruckus as she did so. She walked over to where Lunar was, the kids scrambling away with laughter. The daycare bot was laying there on his back, catching his non existent breath. "I give up... They win."

Yuuna giggled, leaning over him. "Ah, I guess even the mighty shark was overcome by little remoras." She joked. Lunar made a 'huh' noise. Yuuna looked a little embarrassed. "Ya know, remoras? They like- they hang out with sharks- symbiotic relationship stuff- um, forget it, it's stupid." She held out her hand. "Let me help you up."

They climbed back onto the foam wall, Lunar laying on his stomach between two of her raised portions. "Those kids are vicious!" He announced, the end of his hat falling in his face. Earth smiled. "Yeah, they're working together to overcome any problem!" Yuuna raised a brow. "I don't think Lunar is really a problem per se." She joked.

Earth stepped forward and clasped her hands together. "Oh, wow! The shark is gone! That means it's time for some deep sea exploring! Let's see what things you can find!" She suggested. Lunar leaned over. "Want me to throw toys in there?" He asked, to which she nodded and he went to do so.

Yuuna leaned back over to Roxas and Bonnie. "They got everything out of the ballpit from last time right?" She asked, rubbing her wrists. She was still wearing her purple work gloves. Bonnie nodded. "Of course, of course, sugar. It's fine." She reassured. "You and Chico need to stop worrying about this ballpit so much. No one's gonna drown or anythin'."

Lunar soon rejoined the other three animatronics to get things from the gift shop while Yuuna supervised the ballpit. Along with Comedy Bot, who had come back for some reason they couldn't figure out.

There were a few plushies that definitely shouldn't be there soon, and a rogue cardboard cutout of such familiar people to the two. It made them grimace even looking at the visages. Bitter and sad.

The gift shop was mostly sparse, as if the merch had been taken down in a hurry. Lunar and Earth went towards the back to get supplies. But Bonnie hesitated and looked around.

Roxas glanced over from the door. "Bon?" He called over, noticing her crouched from behind one of the displays. The rabbit sighed, picking something up and dusting it off. "I'm fine. Just found somethin' Chico might want." She held it up.

A simple plushie. Blue two toned skin and soft yellowish orange ombre hair, with pink eyes and a big smile, in a simplified dress. The halo accessory seemingly unattached of flimsy as it was half falling off.

Roxas looked it over as Bonnie walked over. "Shoot, I thought they got rid of these months ago." The rabbit nodded, before quickly stuffing it into Roxas' chest cavity to hide it when she heard the daycare attendants returning.

"Okay, we got some supplies. Let's head back to the daycare." Earth said, walking past them. Roxas, still recovering from the aggressive way Bonnie had practically spiked that plushie into his chest cavity, waved his hand dismissively. "Uh, yeah, yeah, we uh... Have to call Fazbear actually."

The two daycare attendants exchanged a look and looked back at the other two. "Oh, what for?" "The uh," "Their merch." Bonnie gritted out, pointing to the cardboard cutout.

"Oh, they're not allowed here anymore? If kids ask about them what should I say?" Earth asked, while Lunar was squinting suspiciously. What the hell happened here? The two band mates struggled to come up with an excuse before sighing. "Uh, just... Ask Yuuna. She'll probably have the approved answer. Or say they're on vacation!" Bonnie suggested, waving them to go back to the daycare.

Once they left eyesight, Bonnie got the plushie back out, making sure it wasn't damaged more. Roxas rubbed her chestplate. "God, damn, woman, you could warn a wolf next time." He grumbled as they walked back in to call some higher ups.

Bonnie shrugged, already thinking of giving this to Chico. "Oh, hush, you know this thing'll make Chico's eyes lit up like some fireworks in July. It's worth it. I hate seein' 'im all mopey."
