Ki saw Cleo "One moment guys" He said before walking over to her "Hey Cleo, you look upset buddy, what's wrong?" He asked

Virtu heard Crystal "Crystal, I know you're above us, please come down here, I need to tell you something anyway" She yelled up

Golden Freddy led me to where Foxy was "Hi guys" He said

I hugged Foxy "Hi buddy! I haven't seen you in ages!" I said

Crystal took off her headset. "For goodness sake, Virtu, you couldn't wait until I was done?!" she growled.

Peyton opened the door to the now-familiar security guard rooms. "Hey guys, what's up?" she asked.

"Just come down here Crystal" Virtu said

Cleo froze. Kigali had spotted her, and would probably think less of her if he knew what she was doing. "It's nothing" she hastily dismissed the fox's question. "Just a rough day, is all." She spoke evasively, waiting for a good moment to flee.

"I'm sorry to hear that, can I come with you wherever you're going? I think you could use a friend" Ki said with a smile

Cleo started nervously inching backwards. "Um, I'm not sure that's the best idea..." she began. "I mean, you must be really busy, and have a lot work to attend to. I'll be fine on my own, really."

"Its ok, I'm not doing anything actually, I just want to come with, there's no way you would do something bad" Ki said "I could help you"

Fang's ears twitched as he looked upward. "Hey, Crystal! What're you doing up there? Come on down here!" he called upward.

Gabe sighed from right beside him, though. "You still don't remember? I had to spend all night scrubbing that red stuff from your fur last time, and you looked pink for a couple days after that."

"Really, it's fine, you don't have to come with me..." she politely insisted. Cleo was getting disturbed by Kigali's persistence, and was doing her best to keep her composure together...

OOC: Hey, Wolfgang? Lavendark just swooped down in front of you two.

((Fang did ask who Lavendark is))

"Ok, but if you ever need a friend, I'll be here for you buddy" Ki said before walking away, he went to the Frozen Forest where he saw Gabe, Fang, his sister, and someone new "Hello! Who are you stranger?" He asked

OOC: switching to 3rd person view since everyone is doing 1st lol

Alex stood up from where she was sitting and decided to walk around the room.

"In the vents, its Bonnie! AHH,"I screamed as I was getting shoved into a suit but quickly ripped Bonnie's eyes out

(OOC: Don't worry, dinorang67, I posted here, before the page jump)

Foxy embraced Austin in a hug as soon as he saw him. "Now, if it isn't me best human matey! How 'arr' you tonight, Austin?"

"I'm good Foxy, so have has everyone been?" I asked

"Have you seen Gabe anywhere?" Golden Freddy asked

"What in the world are those sounds that sound like people talking?"

Foxy flashed a smile at Austin. "Everyone's been fine, from what I can tell. Cleo still keeps to herself, Gabe visits Fang a lot in the Forest, and my trusty crew and I tend to stay in Pirate Cove. I still haven't gotten to know the newcomers well enough yet, though."

"That's good" I said "How's Virtu?" I asked

Golden Freddy nodded and walked over to the Frozen Forest and saw Gabe "Hi Gabe, it's me" He said with a smile as he hugged Gabe

"Oh, Virtu? She's as beautiful as ever... I still think back to that night sometimes, and wonder what would have happened if I'd been able to ask first meself."

Gabe embraced Golden Freddy in a hug, enjoying the familiar embrace. "It's you, all right. How've you been, big guy?"

Crystal looked down and saw Fang. Growling about "how her plans never worked", she scampered off through the tangled mess of cords.

"Aww, that's sweet" I said

"I've been good, I'm glad to see you're here" Golden Freddy said

I hold Snake close to me. My tail wraps around hers. My golden eyes gleam brilliantly in the dark.

"Thank you, my love," I say managing a small smile.

A sigh of relief escaped Cleo's lips as she continued on, leaving Kigali in the Frozen Forest. She did appreciate his kindness, but she feared for his safety if he were to hang around her for too long...

By chance, she passed by Pirate Cove on her rounds as well. She had heard the rumors. The Bite of '87. The assault that ended with an innocent human's frontal lobe getting unwillingly lobotomized. She also caught word that, while it was uncertain who the culprit was, the vulpine pirate captain was a prime suspect. Due to this accusation, and the fact that she was disgusted and terrified by the thought of any human coming into harm- let alone suffering brain damage -her image of Foxy was stained, and the poor cat princess made certain to avoid him at all costs.

Meanwhile, I was tracking Cleo's progress, curiously observing her behavior, her interactions with the other characters. Being sort of the ignorant type, I hardly knew anything about the origins of this place or the animatronics that inhabited it. What was she up to?

Virtu and Ki both smiled at the site of Gabe and Golden Freddy hugging "Crystal was trying to prank us, I tried to tell her about you" Virtu said

"Thanks sis, but I don't think I have a chance with her, she always ignores me when I tell her how I feel" Ki said

OOC: Ah, I see. Sorry!
Lavendark bows in honor. "Lavendark, King of Hawks. Wolfy's tests are nearly done. The kids love me, you should have seen me earlier!" He said in his flat, deep tone. A tinge of Japanese was on his voice, darkening the deepness. His lavender feathers ruffled as he grinned, dry red painted across his fangs. There was something... off about him.

Fang's ears drooped a bit slightly, but he shrugged. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Lavendark."

Gabe loosened his grip on Golden Freddy, as well. "I'm glad to see you, too."

"I'm Ki, and this is my sister Virtu" Ki said to Lavendark

"So, how have you been?" Golden Freddy asked

Gabe shrugged. "Oh, pretty well. I've been doing pretty well in my college classes. We're working on competing in a robotics competition, actually, and our team happens to have someone experienced in animatronic repair." He punctuated this point with a bit of a wink.

Rex started to bite on golden freddys ear.

"Please stop" Golden Freddy said to Rex calmly "That's great to hear Gabe"

"What is that?!" Emile says in a whisper voice and runs and tears up golden freddy with his Knife

Please can I be BB?

"Ah! Stop! I'm just talking to Gabe!" Golden Freddy cried "We don't hurt people! We're misunderstood..." He said as he passed out

Gabe swatted the knife out of Emile's hand after the first cut, knocking it to the other side of the room. His fierce, golden eyes locked onto Emile's, exuding an intimidating aura."What the hell do you think you're doing!? Our job is to watch over these animatronics, to make sure they aren't damaged."

"Wait till I tell the manager!" Peyton accused. "You've got to stop hurting them!"

"It's for the best!" He says as he runs back to the security office.

I remain in the darkness, hidden from sight. I am not safe yet, so I must remain hidden. My golden eyes glow in the dark.

Ki and Virtu picked up Golden Freddy "We need to get him to Parts and Service" Ki said

"Great now I need to go get my knife."

At last, Cleo had reached the Parts and Service room, and she took a quick glance around to make certain there were no witnesses. She didn't want anyone to see, didn't want anyone to know. After she felt the coast was clear and that she was safe, with a sigh, the Egyptian cat shambled past broken clockworks, over twisted metal, to a pile of spare parts. Here, she swept them away to reveal a sort of large container, similar to a sarcophagus used in ancient Egyptian burial ceremonies. Pushing the heavy lid off of the coffin, what laid within came into view. A mangled, twisted, mutilated mess of wires and electrical doodads, a horribly disfigured metal endoskeleton. What little remained of the character inside bore a striking resemblance to Cleo herself, but on a smaller scale, designed to look notably younger. It was on this night, once a year, that Cleo would migrate to this room to gaze upon these remains in guilt and regret...

She remembered the incident well. It was a day like any other, with the human children exploring her ruins, tugging at her dress, spilling their food all over her home, and all around just being troublesome. How any of the other animatronics could withstand this, and to that extent, enjoy it, was an enigma beyond her grasp. The only thing keeping her from lashing out at the children was the presence of her younger sister, Anna. Cleo loved Anna with all of her... uh... "heart", and would have been willing to do anything for her. After all the annoyance and monotony of her everyday life, the time she spent with her younger sibling made it all worth it. And at night, when her fellow mascots roamed about, Cleo was there to comfort Anna whenever she was frightened by them. They were both happy, and it seemed like everything was in a bliss, a wonderful dream...

Then all of that was dashed away like dust in the wind. It all happened so fast, she didn't even know what happened. All she could recall was a high-pitched screech, and before she knew it, Anna was in a pile, with a severed mechanical limb dangling from Cleo's jaws. As the terrified patrons all fled screaming from the ruins, Cleo just stood in shock, dumbfounded, trying to piece together what just happened. During the aftermath, the Desert Ruins were closed off for a few months, and Cleo was put on probation for that time. But even after the incident- "The Smiting", she called it -Cleo elected to stay locked away whenever possible, denying anyone or anything access to her room after hours, out of fear of doing any harm again.

Anna was so damaged, the management didn't think it to be possible to ever repair her. She was left in Parts and Service, but at Cleo's request, was not to be used for scrap, and given a proper burial to boot. And on the anniversary of The Smiting every year, Cleo would come to visit her deceased sister. As the poor cat gazed upon Anna's remains, cradling her lifeless head in her arms, the surrounding hallways echoed with her sobs of grief.

As Emile went back to get his knife he heard..metal scraping around either In the main hall,prize corner, or parts and service so he checked all three but in the parts and service room he saw Cleo this is the first time he's ever felt sorry for someone, the only reason he was sorry was because he could read what was going through Cleo's mind, pain. just like his childhood thats all he ever felt pain pain pain and a serving of pain.

Ki and Virtu carried Golden Freddy to Parts and Service "Ok, lets put him on the table" Virtu said

Ki did as his sister instructed, that's when he saw Cleo, he walked over to her "Are you ok Cleo?" He asked

Virtu picked up a nearby walkie-talkie "Hello, this is Virtu, Golden Freddy was stabbed by a co-worker, can someone please come over here and fix him up" She said into the walkie-talkie

As Emile hears them talking he slips out of the door and waits out side so they don't see him.

Gabe followed Ki and Virtu, worried about Golden Freddy for reasons... reasons he wouldn't really share with the others. "Hey, Austin, please come down to the Parts and Service room immediately, and be careful. One of our new guards is a stabber." he followed up with on his own radio.

"Sorry Foxy, but I have to go and see what's going on" I said before running off to Parts and Service "Hey gu... What happened to Golden Freddy?!" I asked

Cleo flinched at the sound of Ki's voice. Scrambling to shove Anna's remains back into their coffin and seal the lid on top, she whipped around, trying to hide the sarcophagus behind her. In a quick, panicked tone, she exclaimed, "You didn't see anything!"

"The crazy guard stabbed him" Virtu said

"Its ok, I heard what happened, maybe Austin can rebuild her Cleo" Ki said

"I'll fix him up" I said as I opened up Golden Freddy

"Take care, matey." Foxy said to Austin, as he ran off.

"Kid, you know how much I care about him, so I'm leaving him in your capable hands." Gabe said, watching Austin repair Golden Freddy closely.

Lavendark spread his wings and looked around alertly, soon with one forceful brush of his wings taking off after the Spartan as he fled the scene. Soon arriving in the Main Hall, he took position, cloaking himself with his wings and staring right at the skull mask. The calm-colored bird scanned Emile and looked into his past for anything he could exploit.
"Nearly died a few times. Noble 6 Team..." He read the data to himself, soon grinning at some info.
"Gotcha." He stayed in position, using his broad wings as a cloak and hood.

"Hey, Cleo." Peyton said. "Are you thinking of putting her back together? Might be possible, if you har enough time."
