#oc teaser

“I heard that there’s a carnival!”

“The music there is loud…”

“The lights are wonderful!”

“No one makes it out…”

“They welcome you, with grins!”

“But once you’re in…”

“YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!!!”

“LET THE GAMES BEGIN!”

EDIT AS OF 05/04/26: Hey all, Zeph here! ^^ Here’s the song that was referenced!

Felix Rotary (current employee)

Lots-of-Hugs Daycare and Learning Center

Elanor is... something.

She is amazing with the kids. Every time she enters one of the play areas, the kids swarm her and give her a huge group hug. She cares for them like they are her own.

She plays with them, nurses them, teaches them, helps prepare food and activities for them, protects them, and supports them through all their needs and troubles. You can tell that she adores working with children and knows her stuff when it comes to taking care of them. Her own kid is in the daycare, so that definitely shows her experience and dedication to her work.

She’s so good at her job that I have even seen some of the kids pushing and screaming not to leave her during pick-up time. I admit it’s a bit concerning, but whatever brings them back I guess.

Her employees however, it's like all that kindness and care that she gives the kids is thrown away. It leaves way to what I can only describe as dictatorship and authoritarianism.

All of her employees, including me, have been down on their luck, faced rejection after rejection, and in a state financially which we would take anything. And she used it against us.

She promised a non-judgmental space where those like us can finally belong and. To be treated like “family” alongside the kids. To be respected and valued for who we are. She got us wrapped around her fingertips on that one.

She treats most of us like prisoners. She degrades and berates us anytime she gets and says what a terrible job we are doing despite our best efforts. We were barely trained in our job. We have to work with a bunch of misbehaving, out of control children on our own while Elanor is with her kid somewhere else.

Anytime we speak up, she threatens to dock our pay or terminate us. We have nowhere else to go, so most of us are pretty much stuck here until we find better jobs.

But, it's not just that. Something else is keeping us from leaving her. I can't quite describe it, but it's like a beckoning call that none of us can resist, making us drawn to the daycare. I'm not sure what it is, but I guarantee Elanor is behind it.

She has us under contract so I'm not even allowed to say anything negative about her. But, I need to get this out as a caution to others, I don't care what happens to me anymore.

If you are looking for a daycare to work for, STAY AWAY FROM LOTS-OF-HUGS DAYCARE! AND STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ELANOR!

since I really don’t have any self control, here’s another teaser for one of my 2 upcoming ocs. Hope you enjoy this mood board and random facts. There’s a lot more to come during the arcana echoes event.
