Bot boy Idea 10/scenario: Expansion of a thought, Vanessa encounters a childÂ
I wanted to expand on a thought brought up in idea 6. An encounter that Vanessa has during her last 2 weeks as a security guard. This is kinda a mashup of previous ideas as well.
Here's the set up:
It's been around a day or 2 since the 3 star ending.
Gregory now "lives" with Vanessa because she refuses to let him live in a box, he expresses fear at being sent to an orphanage and the pizzaplex is too much of a safety hazard for him to live there. She brings him to work with her and lets him just run around doing kid stuff. She also talks to her boss before he leaves and puts in her 2 week notice. Meanwhile Freddy is down in maintenance getting rebuilt after being destroyed by the staff bots, as well as all the other bots.
So Vanessa would just be walking around trying to do a job she has no idea how to do, unable to use any of the various security devices. This is on account of the fact that Vanny left her with no memories of how to do "her" job and use most of the equipment (as talked about in idea 1)
So she's just wandering around and eventually winds up in the main atrium. Then she sees some movement in the distance. At first she thinks it's a staffbot just on patrol. Wait no, it's a person, she can tell by the way they are moving. Vanessa would be a bit concerned because she has no clue on how to deal with an intruder because "she" was never trained for this. Vanessa chances getting a bit closer to see if this person looks dangerous or is just lost. It is then she realizes that this isn't just a person, actually it's a…
child.
Everything goes still, suddenly Vanessa is no longer there. She's back in that…thing, that costume (no she left it back at home, right?) Back in that state of being an observer in her own body, forced to watch as she…no, as VANNY lures a different child with false promises of wonder and joy, leading them down into a hidden room, locking the door, pulling out her knife, watching their joy filled expression turn to one of pure fear and… well, you know what happens next.
After the memory ends Vanessa would then find herself back, still watching the child, who hasn't noticed her yet. She would panic, terrified of the child getting closer to her or staying within eyesight for any longer. This is for multiple reasons, every child (except Gregory) that has come near her in the last 6 months has died at her (Vannys) hand, a trend she does not want to continue.Â
  Â
She also doesn't know if Vanny can, just, come back. She doesn't know if there is some sort of trigger, such as being near children, and she doesn't want to find out now.
So she runs away as fast as she can into the nearest security room, locks the doors, gets into a corner and curls into a ball as the memories of all of her (VANNYS) victims' slow deaths come back in full force. In the midst of her panic attack she realizes that she is going to have to figure out a way to get this kid out of the pizzaplex before they get hurt.Â
So she manages to calm herself down enough to contact Gregory on her fazwatch and asks him to take care of it. Gregory can tell that Vanessa is having a bad time by the fear in her voice. He knows it well, hearing it a lot in that…orphanage…
So he goes to her location using the fazwatch trackers, and opens the door using the security pass that Vanessa managed to get him. There he finds her taking in shuddering breaths in a corner of the room.
Gregory is unsure of what to do, he is still a bit wary around Vanessa for obvious reasons and doesn't want to get too close. However, he can see that she isn't faking her panic attack, and decides to settle on awkwardly patting Vanessa on her back until she eventually calms down. (Again, she is ok around Gregory because she knows he can defend himself. I mean the menace threw a go-kart at a robot)
After calming down, Gregory would suggest to Vanessa that they should go and get the child to safety together. Vanessa would object strongly to this, saying that she, "Doesn't want to have another child's death on her conscious ". But ya boi Greglin would look her in the eye and tell her with total conviction that he will "make sure that nothing bad happens". Vanessa would close her eyes, take a deep breath in, and reluctantly agree.
They would walk together, Vanessa would be holding Gregory's hand for support (technically Gregory would be holding her hand, just in case something happens and he needs to make a quick getaway). Upon getting to the child, things get a lot better. They would contact the kid's parents with a phone number that the kid remembers.Â
Turns out the kid was accidentally left behind by a REALLY forgetful uncle or something idk. The parents would make a late night trip out, and retrieve their kid. They would thank Vanessa and Gregory (his presence is explained by some excuse about a "junior guard program") and give their sincere gratitude.
After they leave, Vanessa would then just kinda stand there in a combination of disbelief and pure joy that she was near a child, and nothing bad happened! The 2 of them have just taken a single step. For Vanessa it's getting over the time she spent under Vanny and GlitchTrap. For Gregory it's getting more comfortable around Vanessa.
*Aggressively monches on popcorn* WOO ALRIGHTY SO Va ne s sa ch i ld ksjdhafkjashdkf I love that this indicates that Vanessa can actually gain memories from Vanny and if Vanny is actually a separate uhhh mind? sentient? possessy thing now not just a regular virus then there are chances that Vanny would come back at Vanessa's lowest low. (I wonder if she was even fully t h e re when Vanny took over). She's finally taking the steps towards healingggg y e s s s!!!
