If i were to guess, this Abnormality would be considered one of the threats to our main protagonist in here.... Maybe?

Dark Deception characters with Laetitia

Curious about the child and her friend: Dread Duckies, Agatha, Reaper Nurses

•Dread Duckies do not seem to care about our Wee Little Witch's friends. But they do like Laetitia! Maybe they will even dance a little if she plays them a tune or if her friends feel like dancing

•Agatha being Agatha is always happy to have another kid to play with. She isnt even slightly bothered by how her spider friends look like and even shows her own ... "collection of friends"! Agatha does find the fact that Laetitia makes this music veeery curious

•Reaper Nurses will always welcome a woman into their circle! No matter the age. Although some may suspect that friends are "filthy males", they can't really prove it. Nor can they deny that they are made out of women either. They may try to run harmless check-ups on the kid to find out why Laetitia plays music and moves so strangely

Neutral about it: Mama Bear, Joy Joy Gang, Clown Gremlins

•Mama Bear does not seem to care as long as Malak is pleased. But genuinely, i would not trust her to handle the child. Like nuh-uh. Good thing she wont attack either of them unless Laetitia does something that upsets Malak

•the Joy Joy Gang are always pleased to have kids to entertain, but they quickly catch on that this isnt some mortal soul. Perhaps even becoming wary and suspicious over why Laetitia is here, why is she like that and what is the purpose of those creatures around her. Though, the friendship opportunity is not impossible

•okay, but i wouldnt trust Gremlins with the kid either. They would do all kinds of their usual things to her: from scares to genuine playtime. But the spider-friends of hers may cause an issue if they actually DO end up making one of them disappear

Does not like the spider-friends: Golden Watchers, Murder Monkeys

•okay, look. They are monsters of STATUS, covered in gold, living in the mansion, one that they keep clean and pristine. SPIDERS are not something they need. And unfortunately, Laetitia's friends so happend to resemble one. They can keep the child company, but god forbid she brings her friends

New AU time

This is a Dark Deception AU, but instead of the usual monsters there, it's replaced by the Fnaf 4 animatronics.

These are two designs for Nightmare Chica replacing the Murder Monkeys, and Nightmare Foxy replacing the Gold Watchers

Chica in fnaf has been kitchen and cooking themed, so I decided to make her the Murder Monkeys.

In Fnaf Curse of Dreadbear, Grimm foxy has a scythe rather than a hook, and chases you around the maze. Since part of the Goldwatchers level takes place in a maze, I decided Nightmare Foxy would fit the role.

She's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Ellie because... I said so ok? Sorry this one took longer than I expected. I kept getting writer's block partially due to having constant brain fog/distractibility for the past week or two, for no obvious reason :/ it was going to be way longer but I just can't..

Quite some time ago, Ellie lived with the Reaper Nurses. A sweet little thing, standing at a total 5,2"/160cm, she'd always been so excited to be useful. Her cute, friendly temperament helped lower the guards of mortals seeking the soul shards and made patients feel better. Sadly, she had a crucial flaw; she was just too tiny and fragile for the work.

Ellie was easily knocked over by fleeing mortals. She wasn't strong enough to wield a syringe or carry supplies around the hospital. She was too light to tackle and easily shoved off, too excitable to be stealthy. All in all, she made for a wonderful companion, but an unfortunate Reaper Nurse.

Upsetting as it was for everyone, Ellie eventually found a new place with the Murder Monkeys. This way, she had plenty of friends her own size to teach her how to take advantage of the strengths she had. There was plenty of room to run around in her spare time and play. Everything would be fine. Even though Ellie and the nurses were heartbroken, everything would be fine. This was the best solution for everyone.

She hated it at first. She hated the unfamiliar location and smells, without the company of her nurses with her to make it worth it. She had to get used to brushing out her own curls, instead of having someone else to pamper her, like before. The Murder Monkeys were too busy for the snuggles she missed so badly and weren't particularly interested anyway. Ellie didn't like having knives so close, and besides, it didn't mean much. They weren't the people she wanted in the first place.

Adjusting was hard. She'd gone from having her favourite people never more than an arm's length away, to having them ripped away and having to go cold turkey. Lord Malak strictly forbade her from returning for any reason other than receiving medical attention. Even he seemed to find the situation regrettable, with pity somehow visible in his dark eyes. It had been the one and only time Ellie had seem a soft side of him, giving her a brief, awkward side hug before leaving after dropping her off at the hotel. Deep down, she knew he was right to separate her from the Reaper Nurses. Here, she could learn how to properly serve her Lord and not get in the way.

Malak

He sees this Mortal venture through each realm, collecting the shards and ring pieces.

Yet what baffles him is not their progress but rather they don't seem scared or even the least bit worried about their predicament.

They're just running around and laughing, like the realms are some playground.

It feels insulting and he decides to show up early on in his phantom form, determined to make them shut up for good.

But not even he scares the Mortal, as they just turn around like "woah..are you supposed to be a jack o'lantern?"

He's so perplexed it takes him a moment to realize they ran off with the ring piece and bellows in rage before chasing them.

Back in the ballroom, Bierce is having quite the laugh.

Dread Duckies

The Mortal decides to go on a "side-mission" of smacking as many traffic cones off the Duckies as possible.

Obviously this earns some of their ire as they spring up and chase after them.

But this Mortal just laughs at their silly dances, even stopping to mimic them (quacking included), which confuses the Duckies further bc it's meant to intimidate/mock them if anything.

Still though, they carry on in their deceitfulness in attempts to corner the Mortal, especially when they're running away from Doom Ducky.

They just stop once to say "oh were ya'll roadworkers in your past lives? sure hope you were" and laugh (until the roar of the giant duck reminds them of the peril they're in).

Clown Gremlins

Of course, in a carnival-setting this Mortal's not gonna take anything seriously. They're having a lot of fun, actually!

Even the clowns are in on it.

They wanna see their victims die laughing before they realize they're being cornered.

Yet this Mortal evades their swarms and traps with no problems.

Once they used Primal Fear to stun a Gremlin and they just honked the red nose before grinning and taking off (and proceed to do this for all the ones they've stunned).

Even the massive Goliaths don't terrify them as they just swing the hammer around and kill them.

Ngl the surviving clowns are disappointed when they leave. This Mortal was quite fun.

Murder Monkeys

In the first realm, this Mortal clearly doesn't (or refuses to) acknowledge the deadly situation they're in.

"Get shards, get the ring piece, avoid the--wait are those monkeys?????"

They see a monkey coming around the corner and act like they're a lost guest. "What kind of services do you offer here?"

It just...sorta stops in confusion. They're not running or screaming like all its other victims?

They sometimes annoyingly ring the bell on the reception desk, attracting a few monkeys.

"If my wish is to give you all bananas will you let me take the ring piece?" The Mortal asks, and the monkeys actually stop to consider this question.
