Steve exhales heavily in relief, sitting back on his heels to give the poor guy some space.

"Uh... I think you had a run-in with the band."

Steven had known something like this would happen. He had tried to be helpful in the training tapes, but after what had happened to Fitzgerald at the last location... he just hadn't been able to turn his back on the new hire and hope everything worked out for the best.

Thank god he had listened to his conscience.

"Oh! It's just me." Wait, had he ever actually introduced himself in those phonecalls? "Steven Bell? The last guard? ...uh, the guy on all those pre-recorded messages...?"

That's probably not important right now.

"Just sit tight, I have a first-aid kit here. I'll have you fixed up in a jiffy! I just need to--I'm going to put my hands here to see if I can... stop some of the bleeding."

The new guard looks like he needs a hospital more than a few bandages, but Steven hasn't had a chance to call for help yet; it had seemed more important to at least try to stabilize this man first.

Sometimes when Bonnie watches him, he thinks of grabbing at Mike. Not necessarily because he wants to.. well, hurt him, he just feels it in his joints sometimes; something akin to muscle memory. He won’t, because despite the distrust of adults instilled in his core, Mike had proven himself to be a decent man - and frankly, Bonnie is curious about him. Instead of following the urge to maim him, the animatronic will do something else.

This isn't the only area in which Phone Guy sometimes lags behind his fellow animatronics. He mostly understands the events that have unfolded, and has felt the shift in the very air of the pizzeria from before the spirits left to now. But everyone else has had intensely personal dealings with the ghosts. Phone Guy's the only one of his fellow 'bots (to his knowledge) who has never been intertwined with one of the specters, and although he's outwardly interacted with them, his inner programming has never quite caught up to the full awakening experienced by the rest of the cast.

"They loved you!" Phone Guy clasps his hands together in delight, his receiver bouncing with a single, merry ring. Sentient or no, the animatronics still reside within the bounds of the pizzeria, and they still have tasks set out for them. Sam's safety segments are by far Phone Guy's favorite, because it's one of the few times that the information 'bot gets to assist the other characters, as opposed to free-roaming alone in search of patrons who might need assistance. He loves working with humans, of course, but sometimes when he watches the band, he almost wishes he were one of them.

"I have [S_O_Script_013] queued for tomorrow. Does that sound good?"

hello i’m sorry i butchered your boy slightly 😭 😭

“ …That was an accident! Really!! “ Was it though? I think deliberately hitting the security guard with your microphone isn’t an accident.

He is sprawled out on the floor, guitar snapped in half just out of reach, staring vacantly at the ceiling and has been doing so for the past few minutes, because honestly? It’s sort of interesting to see the world from this point of view.. is what he might’ve said ( which is also absolutely not the truth ).
