UNPROMPTED || ALWAYS ACCEPTING! || @glambytes
glambytes asked: They may be used to the constant wear-and-tear, but the fox never liked seeing Balloon Boy kicked over! They scoop the poor lad into a mass of limbs — propping him up, checking the child for dents on his casing, then smoothing out a propeller wing. Once all straightened out, Mangle curls around him in a tight, parental hug. (mango wanted to seek out the son <3)
[Getting kicked over was never fun. Of all the kids' torments around here, it was the one BB hated the most -- not only did they seem to enjoy the violence in the act, but they always got a kick out of his efforts to get back up. His design was unfortunate in that, once he was down, he was rendered as helpless as a turtle; he was unable to get back on his own two feet, not without outside help. At least he could roll around enough to hit one of those brats with his sign, even if he was sure he'd get in trouble for that later. They deserved it!]
[Still, that left the matter of standing. He couldn't do it alone. Which was right around when...]
[Mangle! His absolute favorite of all the toy animatronics, come to save the day again. His eyes shined with newfound hope at her approach -- he doubted an employee would help him, but Mangle would.]
[As predicted, they propped him back up and inspected him for any "injuries," then smoothed out a propeller wing he hadn't noticed was bent. Good thing Mangle had a better eye than him. After all was said and done, the fox curled around him in a tight embrace, which Balloon Boy happily returned. He loved his fox family.]
❝ Ha ha ha! -- Hi! ❞ [It was always a struggle to express affection with his prerecorded noises, so he tended to avoid it. Still, he felt that Mangle deserved at least some acknowledgement for his heroism.]
