Chapter Text
Just like you and me, our performers have a past, too! At Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex, be a part of the storyline and experience the next great steps towards the future! Ask any of our animatronics about “the Story” and catch up on all the latest happenings!
…
It’s all a cover. An excuse for why they have no idea what the animatronics are doing. We don’t have control over them. Did we ever?
…
Everyone knows Freddy Fazbear, the very face of Fazbear Entertainment since it was founded by [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] all those years ago! But of course, Glamrock Freddy is more than his past!
After inheriting the family business from his father, Fredbear, Freddy started dreaming big! He got to work on finding ways to make the little town of Hurricane really stand out. And then it came to him: building a Mega Pizzaplex, full of fun for all ages, with him and his closest friends at the center stage!
Though many trials stood in his way [IMSTILLHERE], he, Bonnie, and Chica started performing at the newly-built Pizzaplex. Before long, they were joined by Roxanne Wolf and Montgomery Gator, drawn to them by their rise to fame and a desire to entertain. Lastly, Freddy invited Sun and Moon to take care of another attraction, the theater. [ONEMORE] [REMEMBER?]
[IWASWITHYOUINTHATTRUCK]
In just a few short years, Freddy was able to say that all of his dreams came true. He and his friends would perform for thousands of people—kids and adults alike—all day, giving out cake and presents to lucky birthday kids inbetween. The sight of all the happy people coming in and out of the Pizzaplex filled Freddy with joy! And as they all settled down into their new roles in the grand attraction, Freddy found another who filled him with joy… his old friend through it all, Bonnie.
Alas, not all good things can last forever. Last year, Bonnie decided to step down from the stage, saying goodbye to his close friends and giving his spot in the band to Monty. [ITWASME] Freddy was distraught at the news, but no worry! He’s back to entertaining and performing, ready for whatever new challenge may come his way!
…
Out of all the animatronics, Freddy has changed the least. Even if there was a lot of weird camera footage with him wandering around at night, and he ended up in places he didn’t remember going to… or how close he’s been to some of the disappearances lately…
He’s quite kind, actually. I’d say it’s hard to believe it’s all just programming, but I know it’s not. He carefully watches after each and every kid that he meets, making sure they’re all taken care of and get returned to their parents at the end of the day. I hope that that’s why he always seemed to be with the missing kids right before our video feed cuts out—he’s trying to bring them back home. But then there’s that rabbit kid Brooks saw with Freddy… right before Brooks got in an accident on the job and has been in the hospital since.
I’ve got to give Freddy credit, though, he’s pretty good at “keeping the story.” He’s never strayed far from what’s expected of him. Even after Bonnie’s decommissioning, he put on a brave face for the kids. I can tell how much it pained him to say Bonnie “retired,” how desperately he wanted to see some kind of body for himself… and how he forced himself to move on after everything else had gone back to how it was, as if Bonnie had never been there to begin with.
…
Freddy’s right-hand rabbit, Bonnie, has been with him since the beginning!
Having been close childhood friends, Bonnie was the first to learn of Freddy’s grand ambitions for an attraction in their humble town. He jumped at the opportunity to build something entirely new, taking on the role of the band’s guitarist.
While Freddy worked on the Pizzaplex as a whole, Bonnie focused on his own attraction: the bowling alley. When not performing or attending birthday parties, that’s where you could find him! He also took on an apprentice, Montgomery Gator.
Bonnie soon found himself realizing he was happiest by Freddy’s side, the two becoming nearly inseparable. Unfortunately, it seemed to be the only thing Bonnie found joy in; the performances and parties had simply become work, mentoring Monty or helping kids learn to bowl became chores. [GIVECREDITWHEREDUE] At the behest of his bandmates, Bonnie stepped down from his role as lead guitarist, and passed it on to Monty. [IKILLEDTHERABBIT]
…
If Freddy was the stern parent figure who convinced kids to eat their pizza before their cake and get them to go home before closing, Bonnie was the one who snuck them cookies right before their parents picked them up. He got along really well with the kids—taught them a lot of things, not just bowling. I caught him helping someone with their homework once. Always seemed to be learning new stuff, too.
But there was one big difference between Freddy and Bonnie. Freddy made sure that no kid was alone, that they found their way back. Bonnie, meanwhile, wouldn’t get anywhere near a kid without a dozen others or their parents nearby. It wasn’t that he didn’t like them—far from it. But one way or another, I think he heard about the, ah… troubled past of Fazbear’s. How a man in a Bonnie suit pulled kids away and… murdered them. Bonnie feels that weight, the pressure of a past that certainly isn’t his. He got so worried when kids started disappearing and Freddy started acting weird…
I guess it isn’t a lie to say that he didn’t act like his old self in those few months before his decommissioning. But it was just because he was trying to figure out what was happening. And maybe he DID find something, and that’s why we still don’t know where his body is—just that he’s not coming back.
Wouldn’t be the first time Fazbear Entertainment’s pulled something like that.
…
Chica is the last of the original band to return for the Pizzaplex!
Another old friend of Freddy and Bonnie’s, she used to bake all kinds of sweets for the boys while they practiced. But when they invited her to join them, she was ecstatic! As soon as the Pizzaplex was in development, she was planning her own attraction for it: dozens of food stalls and, of course, Mazercise.
She’d always been a social individual, which helped her bring together others from all over to help in the Pizzaplex! Her fun attitude is what keeps people coming, cheerily greeting every guest and staff like old friends.
Though she used to help out in the kitchens, [EASYTODISTRACT] she now spends most of her time between shows in Mazercise and other attractions around the Pizzaplex. If you see her, say hello! She may have the latest scoop on the newest events happening in the Pizzaplex.
…
The only thing I can say is… poor Chica. Even disregarding the bug that makes her want to eat just about anything edible-looking, including some stuff that actually doesn’t, she’s often given the short end of the stick.
She’s not as dumb as her initial programming told her to be. In fact, I’m pretty sure she knows a lot more than she lets on. I might even say she’s… smart enough to know to keep that part a secret. When Freddy started acting weird, then Bonnie went missing, Chica didn’t question a thing. She knows questions don’t lead to answers at Fazbear Entertainment.
I wish I could say something to her—to all of them. But I keep feeling like someone’s watching me. I’ve got to be there for my daughter. I don’t want to get on the company’s bad side.
…
Roxanne Wolf is one of the two new faces in the Pizzaplex, fierce and confident!
A performer by heart, Roxy was no stranger to the nature of the stage. She was a makeup artist by day, and garage band enjoyer—if not member—by night. It was by the request of Chica—the two being close friends—that Roxy joined the band in the Pizzaplex. And boy, was she ready for the fame that awaited her!
Though her main role was to perform in the band with the others, her love of cosmetics never faded! Between performances, she’s often found in her own attraction, Roxy Raceway, either supervising the go-karts or helping out at her salon. Anyone who walks into her attraction is sure to come out invigorated, whether it be from go-kart fun or an amazing new look! [EASYTOBREAK]
Recently, Roxy’s been working on a new show behind the scenes to celebrate another year of the Pizzaplex! The work has been keeping her busy, but of course she still has some time for her loving fans! She can’t share very many details about it yet, even to her friends, only saying that it’s something big involving the Raceway…
…
I can’t say I was all that close to Roxy, but she seemed nice before just about everything in the Plex got bad. At least, she helped my daughter when no one had come to her birthday party. Roxy always seemed to care about her, which is good, because Roxy’s her favorite. I don’t know how I feel about Roxy being close to her now, though…
Nearly everything about the “recent story developments” is a cover up. The big event Roxy’s supposedly planning that keeps her so busy? An excuse to restrict how long she wanders, so that the techs can keep an eye on her and she can’t cause trouble. She’s gotten really obsessive lately, doing whatever she can to make herself look better. Not to mention she’s starting to insult guests about their appearances or skills. And then there was the time an older gentleman spilled his drink on her and she nearly made a scene in front of hundreds of guests…
The fact that the event’s happening in Roxy Raceway is just a lie, too. It’s the story they made up to hide the fact a giant sinkhole opened up in it. I suppose there’s a chance the company’s planning something for the anniversary, but it certainly isn’t happening soon. Last I heard, Officer Vanessa had insisted on investigating it all before they closed it up again. It’s been months now and she’s still saying there’s “more to do,” whatever that means…
…
Montgomery Gator is the newest member of the band, but not an entirely new face!
This gator’s humble beginnings start in an even smaller town than Hurricane, if one can imagine it! He was a part of a simple band called the Mediocre Melodies, but… he longed for something more than that. When he heard of the upcoming Pizzaplex and received an offer to join it, Monty packed up his things and moved to the growing city.
The new sights and sounds were fascinating, but a bit overwhelming. Bonnie took him on as an apprentice in order to help Monty adjust to everything that the Mega Pizzaplex had to offer. This was also when Monty started working on his own attraction, Gator Golf, fashioning the whole place to be a bit similar to the swamps he’d left behind. He did everything he could to prove himself to his new bandmates, quickly proving that the small-time banjo-player had the potential to become one of the biggest names in music history.
All of this effort soon paid off when Bonnie stepped down and gave his spot in the band to Monty last year. Monty loved the spotlight! But of course, the fame didn’t go to his head. [EASYTOTRICK] He used to spend a lot of time helping guests, though now he’s working alongside Roxy to bring an even greater performance to the Pizzaplex!
…
Monty had, in fact, let fame get to his head.
Before Bonnie was decommissioned, was Monty a little rude sometimes? Yes. His short temper certainly hadn’t magically appeared—it’s always been there, though it’s only gotten worse. But once he took Bonnie’s place in the band? There was no stopping Monty. He started to get overconfident and antagonize the others whenever they were given more attention than him. He didn’t want to share the spotlight. He wanted to take it.
That said… even if Bonnie was last seen in Gator Golf before management declared him lost, I don’t think Monty did it. Simply put: Monty’s kind of dumb. To decommission a band member, not just with no one knowing but STILL no one being able to find the body? He’s not capable of it. Not to mention, if he had done it… I think we’d all know. He boasts about a lot of things, some of them clearly not true, but doing something to Bonnie had never been one of them. And I remember the look he had when we told the animatronics that Bonnie was gone. Monty was just as mortified as the rest—he even joined the others in comforting Freddy. As desperate as Monty was for the spotlight, I doubt he wanted it to turn out that way.
But the clueless and generally-kind Montgomery seems to have been lost with Bonnie, now hardly able to go a single day without antagonizing guests, arguing with staff, or trashing anything that gets in his way…
…
Sun and Moon are the second of the new faces in the Pizzaplex, theater performers turned daycare attendants!
This unstoppable duo are inseparable—quite literally! The two share a body; Sun present whenever the light was shining, and Moon appearing whenever they were in darkness. [ILIKETHEDARK] Both were kind and friendly, though! They always had a knack for theatrics and performances, which was what first led them to the Mega Pizzaplex.
Noticing their talent, Freddy offered for them to take care of the Pizzaplex’s theater. They did all kinds of shows, from comedy to drama, and their love for the craft was strong. After a while, however, they began to notice something. Parents were often dropping off their kids at the theater and practically disappearing for the whole day. Someone needed to be there to properly take care of them!
So, they transitioned into taking charge of the Pizzaplex’s daycare. While it was a new experience, they were more than ready for the challenge! They soon found they enjoyed taking care of these little ones just as much as they had performing. Perhaps that was their true calling after all!
…
If I’m being honest, I think Sun and Moon are my favorite out of the animatronics… if not just because they cause the least trouble. Well, Sun doesn’t, and while Moon may, they never seem to mean it. They might look scary, but they really do try to avoid being frightening.
Sun is the more worried of the two, the one with the strongest sense of responsibility. He’s always making sure the kids all have their snacks, or that they don’t forget their toys, or making sure the few human daycare attendants we have get their breaks. But Moon’s the one that makes sure things—not just at the theater or daycare, but all over the Pizzaplex—run right on time and maintain structure. He makes sure everything happens exactly when it needs to and lasts for the right amount of time, down to the second. Pretty sure he checks every single clock in the Pizzaplex and makes sure they’re all on time whenever he goes on patrol…
They’re quite the marvel of technology, honestly. They’re able to communicate with each other and see what the active one does, so their transitions are usually seamless. I’ve been able to start a conversation with Sun and continue it right where I left off with Moon, once. There are some times the code gets confused, though—namely, when the lights flicker on or off. Since they weren’t expecting it, their programming doesn’t retain all of what they were doing before the switch. It’s not a bug bad enough we’ve been asked to fix it, though; someone just needs to explain to whoever’s active what the other was doing at the time they switched.
Reminds me a bit of my daughter’s friend, actually. There’s been a couple of times where he’d suddenly stop and had to be reminded of what he was doing before. He says it’s not a big deal, but I’m afraid there’s a lot more to it than that…
