Synopsis: Luna-Kornelia Crow has been out of luck for a while now. The universe just seems to hate them but finally a light in the tunnel appeared and she was able to get a job at an abandoned theatre as the security guard.

Lets just say that things aren't always the way they seem

Luna sighed as she put on the uniform that they got from their new boss, thinking back on all that has happened to lead her to this. Her life was basically hell, a lot of debt that kept pilling up and up, no one to turn to and everywhere seemed to have a thing against them.

That was when she finally found a job, a security guard position at an abandoned theatre, though she did wonder why that place even needed security. However she didn't pay too much attention to that and even disregarded one of the few duties: KEEP THE PUPPETS FROM MOVING

"Ha, that must be a joke. Puppets can't move on their own. This isn't a video game. Probably only said that to make the place feel more creepy." she thought when she first read the application form. Luckily for her she got it immediately and that's where they are now. In a small and blank security office. This job will be a piece of cake and it pays well enough.

Luna placed her bag down besides the chair and stretched, "Okay lets get stuff done as soon as possible. Puppets check first then cleaning." she said as they grabbed the list of all the puppets before leaving the office and walking down the corridor. "This is horrible theatre design, why are the puppets all the way back there when the stage is the opposite way? That is so inconvenient, unless there's some sort of passage way in the puppet room to the main stage which I highly doubt. Even then that would be stupid." she shock her head just imagining how much time it would take to get the puppets from their rooms to the stage. Especially since there are 20 puppets in this theatre! How in the world did they manage to deal with that many!?

Luna sighed as she opened the door and noticed all of the separate rooms for all of the puppets. Jester, Knight, King, Wizard, Maid, Butler, Priest and Chef. The puppet room looked very creepy and worn down, if anything it looked more like a cell block you would find in a prison than a storage room. "Eugh this is giving me the creeps. Lets get this done quick." she thought as they started with the Jester's room and checked all of the left side first before doing a loop and doing the right side, finishing at the King's room. Luna did notice the writing on it but didn't think too much of it. It was either the name of the king puppet or gibberish.

"Oh great are you kidding already?!" Luna groaned as they were faced with an empty room, the King puppet nowhere to see unlike all of the other ones. She checked each corner of the room, even taking her glasses off and cleaning them just to be sure she was seeing things correctly and still nothing. "This has got to be a joke." they muttered being checking the checklist. The King puppet wasn't on it. "Wait what?" she said, dumbfounded for a second. "So I did all of that for nothing? Okay, whatever. Lets get out of here and clean the stage."

Luna left the puppet room and walked over to the storage but it was pitch black in it. They tried flipping on the lights but of course it didn't work so instead they turned on their flashlight. "Yikes this is in worst state than I thought it would be. That's a future me problem." she said before noticing a T-shirt that seemed to have a large hole it. Like it was cut with a knife. "Ooookay...that is totally not concerning or horror-movie like." she said sarcastically. At least there was a baton in the security office so there's a way for Luna to defend themselves. Though she is definitely going to get a bat and pepper spray just in case.

After quickly grabbing all of the cleaning supplies, Luna went the stage and started sweeping it, the stage was smaller compared to the ones she has performed on but it was still pretty big and spacious. And incredibly dusty, it will definitely take a few days of sweeping and mopping to get the stage looking close to how it did before. Good thing she didn't have to clean the entire theatre and could clean bit by bit. After what felt like hours, Luna was finally satisfied enough to stop cleaning. "Ow, my back is killing me already." she said as they cracked their back to get rid of the tension. "I need to get back in shape, I swear I used to not get tired so quickly before." they thought, putting the supplies back into the storage room and going back to the security office.

"I should probably look into this theatre a bit more. I do remember us learning about it in theatre school but I don't recall much." Luna spoke out loud as they took their phone out and started googling. She didn't really bother to check the cameras, the puppets were not going to move and if a vandal was coming in she would likely hear them. From what Luna read the theatre seemed to be very popular, including the charming characters. Everyone's favourite was the Jester puppet, winning the popularity polls multiple times. "Not surprised, people have a thing for clown or jester characters. Especially if they are crazy in the head." Luna kept scrolling for a bit before deciding that checking the cameras was something she should do so they flicked through them but froze upon seeing something move on one of the cameras.

"I-what the fuck is that? Is that a vandal? No, a vandal would not be that tall nor would they look directly at the fucking camera." Luna quickly picked up the flashlight and baton and went to deal with whoever or whatever that was. This was her first night and she already had to deal with some bulshit like this? Nope, not oh her watch!

First thing they noticed was that the storage room was open. What the hell were they even doing there in the first place? It's not like there is anything valuable in the storage room. Luna quickly turned on the flashlight and what they saw made her blood freeze. The Knight Puppet. It had moved. 'What the fuck is going on?!' she thought in confusing, Puppets aren't supposed to move. This isn't fnaf! The worst part? The puppet was looking straight at her, like a predator locking eyes on their target.

"Who are you?" She called out, putting on a brave façade as she clenched the baton in her hand. "Intruder" The puppet said. 'Welp if I die I die, but I aint' going out on its terms.' Luna thought, already having a bad feeling about this. All of a sudden the Knight puppet had his hand around their throat, causing her to drop the baton. 'How the fuck did he move so fast?' she thought as they tried to push him off to no avail. "Another intruder. It appears that more intruders have been coming to this kingdom lately. How fortunate." the knight said. 'Fuck you mean fortunately!? Do you enjoy killing people?!' Luna thought as she felt her air being cut off, black spots appearing as her head felt dizzy with the lack of oxygen.

Just as things seemed hopeless, a black clawed hand covered Luna's eyes out of nowhere. "What are you doing in here?" the Knight asked the person behind them. 'Who is behind me? Another puppet? How did I not hear it?'

"Knighter, I believe I've mentioned this before. Wouldn't it be better if any visitors who wander into our kingdom be untrusted to me?" The voice behind her spoke. "For what? So you can carry out that absurd plan of yours?" Knighter said clearly unimpressed and not happy. 'You and me both' Luna thought getting slightly more agitated. "My friend you're free to doubt me if you wish. I wouldn't fault you for it. But I do need this visitor. You understand that much, don't you?" the voice said, unaffected and unafraid by Knighter who snorts in irritation before releasing her throat as he leaves. 'Fucking finally!' Luna wanted to say but didn't, not daring to make a sound out of fear, especially since their eyes were still covered and she still had to deal with another puppet.

She felt another hand rest on her shoulder making her flinch and cringe, today one of the days where she didn't want to be touched without her initiating it so this was uncomfortable on so many levels. "Easy now. The danger has passed. You may allow yourself to relax" the voice said gently, trying to calm her down. 'Easier said than done asshole' Luna thought as the voice continued. "Why don't you come with me for the time being? I assure you, I am not someone you need to fear. After all, any guest who sets foot on this kingdom ought to be welcomed properly. Wouldn't you agree?" Luna did not like the sound of that, the voice did sound friendly and they did save her life. Plus they wouldn't want to get into more trouble so she nods in agreement. "Excellent. Now come with me."

The two of them started walking though the figure still didn't uncover her eyes, which did not put her at peace at all. Soon they stop and say, "We've arrived. Now, please take a seat here and make yourself comfortable." the figure spoke before gently lifting their hand of her face. They were at the theatre hall. Luna turned around to see which of the puppets they were dealing with but no one was there. 'Where did it go?'

"Boo!"

Luna jumped up in her seat as the puppet suddenly appeared in front of her. "Fuck!" she screamed before the puppet covered her mouth, as if signalling to stay quiet and he won't harm me. 'Asshole.' Luna thought as he slowly pulled his hand away. Luna was finally able to get a good look at the puppet. They were dressed in a jester outfit in a motif of red, white, yellow and black with multiple hearts. Though the most interesting parts where the black and red crack on his face and the crown on his hat. Why would a jester wear a crown? Isn't that just for royals? 'Well I failed one of my jobs spectacularly. On my first night. Great.'

The puppet then snapped his fingers and disappeared from sight. 'He can teleport?! That's it I am screwed' she thought before feeling something grabbing her hand and started to stroke it gently. It was of course, the Jester Puppet.
