You try to flit your eyes away from the strange onlooker for anything that could be defined as Stardust. It's clearly not the stars themselves, you're outdoors and nothing happened. You don't see anything glowing that would fit the vague description...

It can't be something as simple as glitter or ribbons, even in the Hallway outside your Office, bits of the stuff is scattered everywhere.

For now, the immediate issue.

The strange waving monster behind the tree. You take a deep breath, and flick it with the flashlight. Massive bowl-like eyes flicker as its jaw goes slack. Rows and rows of block-shaped white teeth... This thing is small but could easily tear an arm off.

...

No response--

>GRRGG--LLRRLLGGLL

Most of the Hive jumps in unison as the Vacuum starts vomiting loud enough to echo through the open windows, rocking the foundations of the Pizzeria.

As if on cue, the sound of shredding fabric-- a voice screaming in panic at what's likely acid splashing against its stage followed by the sound of splintering wood...

At the blast of noise, the strange monster flits into the woods, leaving little more than a brownish-gold blur.

The Shadow is active.

The Vacuum is active.

The Canine is active.

>>5032096
get glitter IMMEDIATELY

>>5032102
You already came into contact with glitter in the Hallway, it's not glitter/streamers or general party supplies

Also I have it back up and will try to be adding new posts on the daily, but I realize this was opened WAY TOO LATE tonight, I'll be around to pick things up as time goes on.

Sorry again for the massive hiatus.

>>5032096
tell shadow if she wants that glitter she better point us in the direction
or else killing us won't satisfy her
honestly fuck this shit right now

>>5032214
oh. yeah, i skimmed over that part. It was late.

Yeah I have no idea what t o do besides telling the Shadow to stop being a coy fuck and tell us what direction it is, at least.

Might be a good idea to check out the playground while we’re here, maybe? There could be something buried around here that we could dig up.

>>5032712
Maybe it would be better to ask where it can be found, something direct enough that it can't be misconstrue.

>>5032805
Last time we asked it something, it didnt reply at all. It’ll probably just ignore us if we try talking to it again.

I say we go into the kitchen and try using shit like pepper and salt at this point, literally anything that is dust like.

I'm telling y'all, the answer is going to be "YOU!" or some variation of that. We should try to get rid of the bitch while we still have time.

>>5032906
Let’s not be hasty here; it’d probably be smart to at least try to find some of this “stardust” stuff. We already know that what happens at night also applies to the daytime animatronics, and the Shadow said that stardust is its “essence”. What if making the Shadow go without it for an entire night causes damage to Starbon?

>>5032970
I'm still convinced that the "stardust" it's talking about is going to turn out to be our collective souls or something, but that gave me a thought: if stardust is it's "essence", which I presume is both incorporeal and within most sentient beings, does this mean we'll have to kill something in order to get it?
If that turns out to be the case, maybe we /should/ venture out further into the woods so we can kill an inevitable random monster or something.
That, and if for no other reason than because I doubt we have anything that matches that description in our pizzeria, disregarding the possibility of cracking open one of our bots for some.
That, or "stardust" is just a very obscure slang term for cocaine, since Starbon does have that whole rockstar thing going on.
But that's just a theory.

>>5033006
How did the Fazbear goons smuggle COCAINE into our pizzeria? Does ordering a Starbon come with secret free cocaine? Is it in a baggy we missed somewhere?

>>5033332
Judging by how Fazbear locations are usually run, I wouldn’t be surprised if drugs were regularly issued to franchisees as a “sign-on bonus”. Maybe if we check out office drawers?

But in all seriousness, I think we should try investigating Starbon’s stage; barring any hints from the Shadow itself, looking around Starbon’s area is probably our best bet to find out what this shit actually is.
>>5033006
I doubt it’s something we have in us right now - if it was, wouldn’t the Shadow have tried to take it from us by now? I think we should try pursuing other leads before jumping straight to “the souls of the innocent”.
If I’m wrong and it does end up being souls, don’t worry - I’ll volunteer myself as a sacrifice so that you guys can live.

>>5033412
>I think we should try investigating Starbon’s stage; barring any hints from the Shadow itself
This will be risky considering both how long it takes us to move and the roaming animatronics inside the pizzeria, but if the rest of you want to do this non-lethally this might be your best option. I admit that if stardust is a physical substance, that would probably be the best place to look unless we already tried that and came up with nothing in an earlier session that I forgot about.

This voice still gravitates towards exploring the woods and hunting, but your suggestion is a strong second.

Question: How many animatronics does the hive know in-universe? We probably know about the main gang, as well as the derivative versions of the main ones at the least, but I'm not certain applying our knowledge on anything else would be meta-gaming.

>>5032096
Well. It's scared by loud noises, that's nice, let's bring some big-ass party poppers the next time we try this.

+1 for going back inside and seeing if Starbon's body has anything useful or even still exists while this thing is active.

>>5033416
Honestly, I feel like going out and trying to kill something in the woods is the riskier play; remember, this body isn’t exactly combat-ready, and thanks to the nature of the Hive, we can’t really fight things off very effectively. If we go out there and fail to kill whatever we encounter, we’ll run out of time for sure - and that’s assuming we aren’t outright killed by some horrific creature of the night.
I think it’s safer to stick to the building’s interior for now and try to gather more intel about the Shadow; at least in there, we can barricade ourselves in a room and pray that the Shadow doesn’t instakill us if/when the timer runs out.

That being said, however, I do think that exploring the Woods should be a high priority from here on out - preferably during the day, but exploring during nighttime excursions /could/ reveal new clues. If investigating the pizzeria doesn’t turn up any clues and we’re stuck in the same situation tomorrow night, I’d be on board to go monster hunting - I just think that should be a last resort due to the severe risk of bodily harm it carries. At the very least, I’d like to be able to do it without this fucking ghost hanging over our shoulder.

>>5033442
I hope this doesn't count as metagaming, but I'm relatively sure the woods monster is some version of Music Man.
>short
>giant eyes
>block teeth
Just ignore this post if the Hive doesn't know about that animatronic.

>>5032096
>>5033412
>should try investigating Starbon’sstage
Honestly we should at least try doing that, that or heading into the woods proper. We're just burning night time at the current moment.

Also OP don't die on us.

>>5033867
I think barricading ourselves and hoping were fine isn't an option, remember about the shadow last thread? We tried to back away from it, and it didn't give a ****. If it can do that, I think when time runs out it'll just *be there* ready to end us whether or not were inside. Also apart from the shadow we haven't seen many "monsters". Lastly we also have the SHOVEL!!! I believe in our power if that is true :3

<Demand>I cannot help you if you're not willing to help me. What is Stardust?

You try to get the words out quickly, sidling to the left against the wall. The Shadow is practically paper thin, but isn't detected to have any weight, practically a ghost.

A bunch of branches crackle in the Woods... That Thing is running behind the Pizzeria. Hopefully far away, it’s hard to get an exact estimate on how far it is.

The Shadow does not respond to you.

Feeling slightly safer out here than inside, you decide to examine the Playground. The chain is still missing from where you dismantled this Tetanus hub.

The metal slide is cold, grass pushes through the slightly moist dirt in patches. There's nothing here you as far as you can-

!!!

Glass shatters--and you realize how smart you were to move away from the wall. Being a few feet away from the Pizzeria saves your life as the Kitchen window erupts in your direction, a wild hook shooting out and whipping back and forth--

And back, and forth-- jerking wildly, metallic joints cracking and popping with each gruesome movement.

You watch in shock as a child screams before the arm slowly drags its way back inside...

>"Mommy!? Where did you go!? He... hurt me..."

Whatever you're searching for is not in the Playground.

(This is my first time at a computer with Internet since >>5032096, BUT I should have it basically indefinitely now. Moving sucks.)

>>5035649

...Okay so it isn't in the playground, at least we can scratch that off the list.

Let's just do a general patrol of the wooded area surronding the pizzeria to nock it off the list. Not too deep but a quick skim, from that post the far as the animatronics stay inside. And like us I don't think they can see in the dark. I don't think anyone will try to hurt us at the moment in the woods unless we fuck up the stardust thing.
However during our patrol and if we can't find jack squat, then its probably going to be in Rockbun's area.
While were at it lets try to stay away from any doors or windows.

>>5035651
Also nice op, hope your doing okay.

>>5035649
Tell foxy to fuck off and go look around the woods since going inside probably isn't a good idea right now.

The Canine is in the Kitchen and the Vacuum will do what damage it will. At this rate the Pizzeria is more dangerous than you'd prefer, and most of the Hive agrees to steer clear for a bit, while keeping an eye out for the thing with the blocky teeth earlier.

That smile... the portion of you that uses distraction to keep anxiety at bay get to work at nicknaming the creature... The Smiler?

Maybe.

The Canine is sobbing in the Kitchen now, occasionally smashing something in the pantry in fits of panic.

You wonder if the beast is actually possessed or if Fazbear is just emulating it to seem that way.

Some of the conspiracy nuts in the Hive insist that Fazbear isn't above such things...

Holding your shovel tight, you move past the Playground, hoping to use it as a Landmark...

And venture into the Wood...

Moving between two trees on the outskirts of your Pizzeria, you find yourself walled in by rows and rows of massive trees and thorny shrubbery. There are footprints all through grassy patches. Be it by day or night, there must be multiple bipedal creatures running around in here.

Some as small as a doll, some as large as a gorilla...

You're... likely in their running grounds now. Both for the Smiler and the White Thing. The Shadow gives a low rasp as you enter the Wood, but gives nothing else as it clings to your shadow.

Less than a minute's walk in you find a split in the Wood. Looking back with your flashlight you can just barely see a glint off the Playground from what little metal is left without rust.

>>5035747
Well you know what they say, left is best.

>>5035752
+1 for left

>>5035747

+1 to left

>>5035747

Yeah they are.
5 6 3 5 # 8 5 (Left to right)
Thats what it looks like but I can't identify the # it looks like a six, but I can't tell for sure.

>>5035747
Looks like there is some dragging on the ground going left but the things that look like numbers are going right, I say we go right and avoid whatever the hell that dragging is.

>>5036406
Footprints, maybe?

File: PSQ092.png (31 KB, 700x700)

There are multiple tiny indentations in the grass that could have been left by a variety of creature. Shovel in hand, you hang left.

The sound of the wind is muted slightly as the trees get thicker, being replaced quickly by the scream of cicada. If your flashlight were to die now...

Best not to think about that.
--

As you move forward, you notice to the left of the narrow path there's a small incline, hiding what appears to be a small cavity in the dirt.

You shine your light into the pitch, as soon as you do, you see a familiar white smile lurking at the back of the small pit about eight feet away.

<Inquiry>You're the one from earlier?

The creature opens its maw, dripping some strange black substance, and what comes out sounds like a heavily warped walkie talkie, though not incredibly loud.

Realizing you cannot understand it, it instead raises a long-tendril hand again in a slow wave.

After a moment of hesitation, you wave back slowly, taking your shovel in one hand.

The creature takes a moment to study this, before slowly clapping its hands together twice and turning away. Before you can ask what it's doing, it extends to you an open gift box.

Inside of it is...

100 USD and a Cat Plush.

TwO hoUrs.

The Shadow whispers from behind you.

This voice of the Hivemind is saying "It's either in Starbon's zone or we're fucking screwed. It was nice working with you 99 morons."

>>5036660
Honestly we might have time to check the other neck of the woods, and bumrush our way back to rockbun's stage.
It took an hour to get here, and it'll probably take an hour to get back so if we rush over towards the other neck of the woods we'll probably have enough time to head back.
>>5036580
My vote is towards checking the other part of the woods, we may just have *barely enough* time to do it.

>>5036580
Also OP, if we kick the bucket due to this mind revealing what stardust is?

>>5036580
I really hope this doesn't end up being a thing where we get loansharked.

>>5036660
Agreement.

>>5036580
Thank the White Thing, check the plush by feeling it. Does it feel like there's anything inside, or is it /just/ a cute little keepsake?

While this one would prefer to stay out hunting, due to the amount of time left, I suspect going further into the woods is unlikely to be fruitful. Turning back may be our only viable choice.

<Acknowledgement>You have our gratitude. Thank you.

The White Thing responds with a blast of garbled radio noise you assume to be positive reception. It hasn't jumped at you yet so this is a good sign.

<Apology> My time is running out, I have to leave. Goodbye.

On saying this, the White Thing's head tilts ninety degrees with a wet pop, pausing before easing back into the darkness with another slow wave. It makes no attempt to stop you from walking away.

You look at the doll, it's a blue plush cat with red blush and brown eyes. It gives a small squeak when you squeeze it.

A kid must have left it behind, you figure.

---

Hoping to use time wisely, you rush back to the Pizzeria, thankfully not getting lost. You make sure to take note that taking the first left into the Wood leads to the White Thing's 'home'.

Entering by the Playground, you can see the Canine has its back against the shattered window in the Kitchen, apparently in some weird napping state. The gurgling noise has stopped, you hope the Pizzeria may have calmed down in your absence.

At least, it'd be nice if that were the case.

>>5038541
Ya know I bet we could use the plushy on foxy to make him calm the fuck down when he tries to attack us, he looks calm right now so it'd be a waste to try it now so let's save it for the next night. Also looks like we didn't take an hour coming back so we're not fucked just yet, I got no ideas right now so gonna let you other guys and gals do shit.

>>5038541
Assuming that the rest of the hivemind wants to go through with checking Rockstar Bonnie's stage, the route back in that will most likely avoid confrontation with The Canine will involve crawling through the windows in the hallways north of the kitchen and entering the main hallway through the side door, avoiding direct line of sight with it (even if it is asleep).
We could also enter through the window to the west end of the main hall, and it would he nearly equidistant in travel, but it would give the canine a direct line of sight of us if it were to wake up, which for all we know might only require a single creaking floorboard, which considering the amount of acid damage to it at this point, is more than likely.
The only variable I'm not sure of is the current location of The Vacuum, hoping that it isn't blocking the entrances or has left an acid puddle at our intended location.

I included a quick map to illustrate what I mean.

Delete it if it clutters the thread with non-OP imagines.

>>5038549
I suggest letting sleeping dogs lie for now. Interesting idea though, we should keep that in mind for later.

>>5038751
I say we take the west side window, time is NOT on our side and we are excruciatingly slow. maybe we can snag some “stardust” for ourselves and “overclock” some systems to make us go faster

>>5038856
You're slow, but the only reason movement took that long is because it was your first time navigating the Wood. As you explore new sections of the Wood, it'll take longer to progress forward, but less time to head back as you learn the labyrinth. Speaking of which;

>>5038751
Maps aren't just accepted, they are encouraged. If you decide to explore the Wood especially, I strongly recommend mapping it as you go. I like creating mazes.

Taking advantage of the seeming quiet, you sneak to the open window on the west-back side of the Hallway, leaning in and glancing left, then right.

All clear...

Faint breathing comes from the Kitchen to your south, possibly the childlike side of the Canine trying to emulate sleeping. The lack of gurgling eases some of the Hive's anxiety, but also makes you painfully aware of every noise you make as you struggle to crawl through the window.

The floorboards creak violently under your weight, and you grip your shovel tighter. You hear a rattle from the Kitchen, but it subsides as quickly as it starts.

So far so good.

You didn't find any 'Stardust' in the Wood, and time is of the essence.

You figure Starbon's stage is the obvious choice to check. You pray you're right as you move down the Hallway and slowly open the remaining splinters of the door to the Party Room.

The Canine is still in the Kitchen, though that's little comfort given the door is still blown off the hinges... Hopefully it stays in place, it doesn't sound too panicked or aggressive.

Acid continues burning through the floor of the Party Room. The Vacuum is atop its stage, dribbling black goo from its 'mouth', but otherwise non-functional. Looks like it's done for tonight, you assume.

The massive pool of acid would make trying to fight anything off in this room very difficult, your body is already clumsy and slow enough as it is.

Keeping that in mind, head low, you move in front of Rockbon's stage.

...

The only strange thing here is how gross the mauve ribbons are. No strange lights or paranormal activity here, aside from the growing Shadow behind you.

The Hive, aside from one confused member, all practically try and jerk your body to the Restroom. You seize enough control to at least close the door behind you quietly.

At least that way if the Canine starts hunting, it won't have line of sight with you.

Awe falls over you as you witness your first indisputable proof of the paranormal.

The Canine could have been built with illusory discs to create that nightmarish image. The White Thing could just be automated. The Vacuum could have piping run from the walls to dispense that liquid.

Fazbear has a history of doing very erratic, nightmarish things to its employees and managers. It's practically a part of the appeal for some people, the risk that comes with the association.

Theorycrafting as to how Fazbear managed to make the newest supposed freak incident happen is a passion for half the Hive.

However, it's hard to justify or explain the various floating balls of sheer light. You get the feeling that were it not through mechanical eyes, a normal Human's retinas would burn away staring into it. Multiple contained balls of pure star matter gently floating through the air.

Stardust.

... SatiAted.

Your Shadow pulls apart from you, the break causing you to lose balance, collapsing to the floor as it allows itself to touch the cloud of Stardust before collapsing into the air itself. Crumpling away like pitch black origami amidst the shimmering lights.

All traces of the Shadow and Stardust are gone, leaving just dust to float through the air.

Well, do we have anything else we need to do? I guess we can check the shed but aside from that, I'm content just chilling out.

>>5040077
While I suppose I'll be interested in seeing how the in-house animatronics react to a Woods creature inside their pizzeria, I admit that we might potentially be in a pickle here:
We are surrounded by two killer robots; one exit - the window at the west end of the party room - would require us to sneak past the Vacuum and the Canine, assuming the bear-thing comes through the north windows and down the east hall.

While hiding would likely be the "safest" idea at the moment, it means that if this thing is hostile and if it can somehow sense our location, we may be in a very bad spot to be cornered. Noise from the fight might alert the other bots, trapping us in a very small room with no exit.

TLDR; my two cents is that we hunker here for a few minutes, and if it enters the building, we take the risk and move towards the west window. We should either avoid this thing, and if we have to fight it it would probably be best to do so outside.

You hear something scampering, frightfully fast, from behind the Pizzeria.

You move away from the door, preparing to defend yourself. The expected splintering of wood doesn't crack out, instead a rather soft little 'paff' noise.

Like a roll of carpet more than some kind of heavy machinery hitting the wall just north of you. Dust scatters from the roof and various cracks in the wood onto the toilet seat...

Immediately, the scampering continues, moving to the West. Whatever this thing is, it's extremely fast. Faster than the Canine.

You hear clicking, like wooden blocks being smashed together at a rapid pace, matching every footstep.

There is nothing movable in the restroom to barricade the door with.

"Is someone else here?" the Canine stirs...

<Whispering>You are... my fire...

You grip your shovel tighter, until the metallic joints of your knuckles dig into each other.

>>5040820
NOBODY SAY IT, NOBODY SAY IT I KNOW SOME OF YOU WANT TO, BUT NOBODY SAY IT!!!!

>>5040820
We should probably be facing towards the door and not the toilet! Hold the shovel like a spear and get ready to shove it through any fuck that tries to come through that door.

>>5040865
Agreed. Having our backs turned to the door is frankly stupid.

If we can get out, though, to a place with a barricade? That would be more preferable, however. Like our office. Or just outside.

>>5040867
The bear thing is speeding down the hallway right now and likely going to get to the main area so it's best to hide in here right now rather than go out there and get spotted by it, we don't know what it's capable of yet besides insane speeds and being in the cramped and small bathroom should hopefully mitigate its speed advantage if it comes for us in here.

Facing the door, you brace yourself as best you can as you hear the pitter patter of what must be small feet racing into the Party Room.

The noise stops. Most of the Hive stops singing to themselves. Dread runs through all one hundred souls, meeting into one focal point.

You.

"A... toy? Are you my friend?"

The Canine's childlike voice isn't answered aside from a few loud clicks.

"I... I don't know... where anyone is? Who are you?"

...

"Why are there so many scary strangers here? I just want to go home..."

Clicks.

Loud clicks.

>rrk--rrrrk

The doorknob starts to rotate. Slowly to the left. You brace yourself, ready to stab whatever it is as soon as it comes in.

...

The door is pushed open, slowly. Standing in front of you, is the Smiler from the Wood.

Shock seizes your movement briefly, just briefly enough for the Smiler to lunge forward, jaw unhinging as it does. It catches a few feet of airtime before clamping vicious jaws down onto your shoulder. You hear something crack and spark.

Luckily, you can give as much as you can take.

The Smiler latched firmly into your ruined shoulder, you throw yourself sideways, smashing the little monster against the wall--

Once-

Twice-!!

It unlatches and falls to the floor, rattling. You raise your shovel over your head and drive it down!

>Shrkk!

It stabs into the ‘skull’ of the demonic plush, splitting seams. It chirps-- clacking those jaws together once... twice...

You slam the shovel down again. More seams split, the rusty metal drives past its wide eye sockets-- nearly to its ‘gum line’.

Black blood soaks your shovel, the floor... The clattering slows as the thing bleeds out.

With one final swing, you split the fucker in two.

You kill the Smiler.

>>5040904
We rest now. I don't want to risk anything at the moment. We should probably try covering up our shoulder with something as well, if only to hide it for the day shift.

>>5040904
....Just in case, lets tear that thing to pieces, and perhaps take the jaw as a trophy. If it somehow comes back it can't attack us with its bite anymore.
While I think we can use the Tarp as a cover for our shoulder, we need to clean up IMMEDIATLY.. There's blood on the floor and remember we run a pizzeria. People will freak out if they find black blood where there wasn't.

Thank fuck that chucklefuck is dead… probably. We should first make sure the Canine isn’t en route to investigate the plushie murder, then we should systematically tear that thing to shreds, flushing it down the toilet as we do. Also first thing when the pizzeria opens is clean up that god awful mess.

Let's get the fuck outta here, this shit was probably loud enough for others to come here and investigate so I say we go straight to our office and barricade the fucking door, cleaning can wait for later.

>Carry the body to office ASAP, dump it there for the time being. Take it to pieces and keep it as a trophy later on.
>Once in office, try to think of ways to cover our wound, if possible.
>Clean the bathroom up once the morning comes.

ghost holy shit I didn't even realize you were running again, fuck me how long has it been? can't wait to read the backlog and catch up

>How long has it been
That's a good question. GQ itself ended officially on February 2016, so five years, going on six.

If you mean FNAF Quests in general, I ran a FNAF World themed quest called 2-Bytes back when the general was on /trash in 2019.

You know, I was thinking about how to prevent the vacuum from damaging the facility anymore, and realized there is a simple solution. The damage is being caused by acid, so by applying a base, like baking soda or bleach should neutralize the issue.

>>5042017
That sucks, sorry to hear that. We'll be waiting.

>>5042412
That's great, but do we have any extra detergent lying around?

>>5042764
I mean there should be some wherever we keep our cleaning supplies.
Worst comes to worst we can just order the 40$ cleaning kit and it should have some.

>>5042842
There is also Baking soda, which we might have in the kitchen, along with Calcium hydroxide, otherwise known as slaked lime. Sodium hydroxide, otherwise known as Lye, sodium carbonate, aka soda ash. We could also use Ethanol, aka alcohol but that is a weak base.

You waste no time making sure to 'pulp' the Smiler, as one of the Hive put it. Using the blade of your shovel and your boot, you split the creature up into progressively smaller pieces, flushing most of it down the toilet.

Curiously, aside from moldy fluff and burlap, the creatures seems to have what appears to be a rudimentary brain, heart, lungs... All about the size you'd expect to see in an infant.

No intestines or stomach however, instead there are multiple pink, almond shaped organs where those should be leading under the lungs and through the legs like a series of tumors on two strings.

There's also no proper spinal cord or bones whatsoever.

...

You'll have to clean the mess up later, time is still not on your side. You need to leave the restroom now, feeling very unsafe and desperately wanting to cover your shoulder.

You turn off your flashlight and quietly move to the Hallway, you don't see or hear the Canine and the Vacuum is still 'dead'. Hopefully it stays that way.

It's been a long night.

You recall some towels being kept in the Office drawer. While dirty, they might be able to cover and support your shoulder while it hopefully heals.

>>5045739
Go back to the office. We don't have time for anything else.

>>5045739
backing >>5045934
this voice has no idea what the fuck those weird almond organs are in that shitty animatronic fuck; I bet Fazbear made them in some lab and that enables supernatural powers or whatever. I hope we didn't taint our water supply or septic tank with that hasty decision, you retards

>>5046186
As if. The kids who drink that water all probably have tetanus, lead poisoning and AIDS already, some good ole’ actual poisoning would probably get them carted to the hospital sooner. Let’s just hope it’s not so soon they aren’t still here when they need to go

>>5046186
>taint our septic tank
Its a fucking septic tank(if we even have one and it doesn't go directly into groundwater anyway, in which case shits already fucked), whats the worst thing that can even happen?
Something grows in there and one day crawls up one of our guests ass? What are the chances of that?

>>5046214
58%. Didn't you hear about the Ass Muncher incident of 1975?

>>5046215
Thats 42% chance that its NOT going to happen, and with a number like that, its all but assured.

>>5046215
>>5046229

>>5046229
Hey man if it can happen once it can happen again. I don't want this to end up the next incident of someone's ass getting bitten. If a creature crawls up from there and bites someone's ass it'll probably give them tetanus or something.

>>5046186
Water in a toilet goes to the septic tank; there should be no effect on our water supply.
Besides, how would you have disposed of it on such short notice? We couldn't leave a smashed-up corpse in the bathroom, after all.
Besides +1: It was a vicious little piece of shit, and pieces of shit go down the toilet. It is where they belong.

Taking advantage of the lull, you make your way into your Office. If not for the wind and crickets, it'd be dead silent. Almost enough to incite worry.

You ponder if flushing down the remains of that gross little imp may have been a bad idea. Then again, it's not like you have a proper dumping ground, and you damn sure weren't going to bury it.

Enough of the Hive have seen Evil Dead to know how that ends.

You collapse into your chair. Your shoulder is severely damaged and sparking sporadically. You consider setting your shovel down but the tension of the evening has you decide to be ready for anything to bust in.

Just one hour left, your internal clock reminds you.

The same routine...

Blacking out and waking just as the truck finishes its work. You hear its engine rev as it begins to depart, the Workers not speaking a word to you.

There's still that damn hole where the acid burnt into the Party Room. Again.

In addition to that, the 'incident' last night has the Bathroom filthy and in need of re-cleaning. The Kitchen Window is shattered where the Canine destroyed it.

Nothing you can really do about that...

On the upside, the Truck Workers fixed the Hallway Door while you were out. In addition, they installed your Hallway Gate and left the remote for it on your desk. The metal is sturdy, it could take a fair bit of abuse before breaking.

A receipt is also on your desk:

>Hallway Gate installation + Shipping, Door Repair (Hallway) , Total Costs for Shipping and Repair: 91 USD.

Half the Hive winces... That’s almost three times higher than yesterday!

Subtracting these funds, you now have 235 USD.

Well, today is a New Day.

>Clean bathroom first
>Starbon talk after
>CHECK THEM DEALS
>>5047888
>buy some boards, a hammer, and some nails if we can
I would like that, some materials at hand to patch things up at moments notice
Boarding doors/windows, boarding the acid hole, braining something with a hammer, possibilities are endless

And speaking about the acid hole, maybe order some kind of a hatch to be made there so we can just open it at the end of a day and close in the morning, pretend that the hole is not even there?
That is if we won't go with 'just put him outside' plan for our favorite vaccum

>>5048039
If there’s no foundation and this building is just on stilts (I wouldn’t be surprised) then couldn’t we just chuck the vacuum down there at night? We’d just have to remember to pull him out when day comes

>>5048039
I like the hatch idea, we should totally get that so we don't have to constantly deal with the damn acid.

>>5048189
Glad to know our best solution at the moment is throwing out vacuum into time out in the basement

>>5049158
Well it’s not like we can prop him over the toilet and hope our piping doesn’t break down. Although, I don’t think we’ve tried the acid with anything metallic, have we?

>>5049173
Honestly I was going to suggest just stuffing the fucker into a bucket at night but from seeing the amount of acid that comes out it'd likely overfill.

Why dig a hole when using our cleaning supplies to neutralize the acid would be so much cheaper and less work-extensive?
>>5042842
>>5044309

>>5049715
Yeah but if we use all of our cleaning supplies on the acid then we have none left to clean in the morning the rest of the stuff, and that means having to daily use the computer to buy more supplies along with the daily repairs we obviously are going to still have

>>5049715
I'd rather the permanent solution of a hatch we can just open right before night for the acid to drain into than having to constantly spend money on cleaning solutions, along with the fact that we have to put ourselves into danger by going into the main room to actually use it rather than just opening a hatch before night time and hanging out in the office.

>>5050469
But what if the acid starts eating away at the foundation? Assuming there is any, of course

>>5050920
Don't worry we just got to use the power of never mentioning it and hoping the QM forgets.
Or like installing piping or some shit so it drains further off.

(As last time, Quest isn't abandoned! Just getting more dental work done, hard to allocate the amount of time to it I want to.)

First thing's first.

Cleaning.

The chore that seems universal to all vocations, and extremely so in this one.

The oily bloody specks in particular call for attention more than typical mold and grime, so it's best to tackle it before Guests show up.

You want to board up the Kitchen window that the Canine destroyed, but all the Wood and Nails are in the Shed.

Ordering them Online is a joke, given the multiple hours it takes to boot the Corporate PC that only gives access to Cleaning Supplies, Party Supplies, Animatronics, and of course the Daily Special.

You can't spit on the Daily Special too hard though, the new Gate is likely to be a lifesaver...

The only Tarp you have access to is currently serving as a part of your roof, so covering the Kitchen Window doesn't seem an option with what you have immediately available.

Instead you spend hours working at the miserable task of stuffing fluff and pitch viscera into the toilet.

Then flushing it.

Then using the plunger to unclog it.

Then repeating, bit by bit, until all traces of that disgusting Smiler are gone for good.

It's tedious labor but... your Pizzeria is now far, far cleaner.

Thank god for that. We don’t need those brain damaged guests of ours to drudge up even more health and safety violations. Let’s try talking to either Bon or Foxy before days end, want to make them feel appreciated at least

File: PSQ105.png (41 KB, 700x700)

41 KB PNG

....

You consider various methods of dealing with the recurring acid issue...

A hatched door would work wonders, but... are you able to build it? The Hive has some carpenters in it, and you have a fair amount of Wood in the Shed... But that's almost a full Day's worth of labor...

And Sunlight is extremely valuable.

Very few of you are chemists, and the idea of using your cleaning supplies to neutralize it frightens the bulk of the Hive...

A mistake could wind up making the place toxic or worse, setting it on fire.

Beyond that, to lay the solution down to mix with said acid, you'd need a rebuilt floor in the first place. Something the Truck Workers are being annoyingly slow at fixing...

What a mess.

>>5053021
I'll go with whats been suggested.
>Talk with foxy for a bit and see how he is.
>if we can figure out how the gate works, a gate won't do jack if we don't know what to do with it.
>After that get down to the slow and monotonous task of building that hatch

>>5053021
We should also clean the stove, the quantity of grease on it must be enough to be considered a biohazard.

>>5053021
Talk with Starbon first

>>5053378
>>5053374
We absolutely need to check the computer for deals. I figure we should always
>talk to 1 animatronic
>check computer deals
>clean up 1 area
>free space
For all our workday slots here on out. That's the balanced way, though nothing is stopping us from cleaning more or even heading out into the dark woods.

>>5053492
I say that we should use that free space to check outside when it's not pitch dark and utter horrifying.

>>5053374
+1 but talk to starbon first about her stardust addiction

After some consideration, you decide to speak with Starbon. She seems more in-the-know about how this “system” works than Foxy or Mr. Hugs. Guests are going to be entering soon, so you keep your back away from anyone entering as best you can.

Starbon is already active, and seems to be waiting for you. It simulates a whistle as its eyes flick across your damaged features.

>"I'm glad to see we didn't murderize the lotta you overnight, but dang that's a nasty slice. Was it Foxy? Seems like a Foxy thing."

<Deadpan>It wasn't any of you. It was a creature from the Wood.

>"... Huh. So they have cryptids here too, Corporate must really have it out for you, Harvey. That stinks."

<Demand>No more Batman references.

>"Sure thing Boss. You really should look into a cloak or something, maybe tear off a bit of curtain. You'd darn sure stir up a panic looking like well... that."

Rockbon gestures up and down basically... all of you. You try to shrug but with one arm attached by what feels like strings, settle for a half-shrug.

>”So Chief, what’s on your mind? Just aching for company? Well... I guess that wouldn’t make sense.”

Starbon taps a knuckle across its forehead.

>”You’re a party in there as it is.”

Four guests file in, netting you 80 USD.

>>5056190
Simply checking up on you. Also what the fuck is stardust? Rings a bell at all?

Either that or just call her cute and go to the kitchen. Either or.

Tell Bon about not just the stardust incident, but everything weird about that night, including one of the hive threatening to invoke “robo-diarrhea” to take control

<Statement>It's less a party and more a never ending argument.

The Hive evidently took the injuries last night poorly, and are arguing intently about having some form of romantic attraction towards the robots.

Something Starbon ironically enough, warned about just yesterday.

>"Oh? What'cha fighting about? Boring business stuff?"

<Deadpan>Some of the Hive apparently think you are cute.

Starbon doesn't so much as startle, shrugging off the comment with a tinny yawn before putting its hands on its hips.

>"Well duh. Half the people that take the risk of Assimilation just do so because they're lonely or have some sort of special interest in robots or animals. 'Special interest' because my built in censorship module won't allow me to say the proper word. It starts with an 'f' and rhymes with 'flurry'"

A part of the Hive is shocked that this subject evidently isn't taboo. Or that it's being discussed so brazenly.

>"Keep in mind that interest is also how most wind up dead. There have been cases of Human and Robot attraction in the past, and it even worked out a few times..."

>"But."

She stops casually drawling its words, picking its next words carefully and harshly.

>"No amount of love for your Entertainers, or the other way around, will help you at Night."

<Inquiry>You're really not disturbed by this topic?

>"The older models would be, I was built world savvy. Key-word being built. Before some of the knuckleheads and weirdos in there go gaga for any of us, remember that our emotions are not real. We're not anatomically compatible, and since you are all Assimilated, neither are you."

>"I really don't care what you do, and it's cute some of you have a crush I guess. Don't get carried away, or it will hurt you. Keep the naughtier ones in your head in check, kay?"

<Statement>.... Duly noted.

>"Well! That was intense, but I'm glad it came from me before you did something truly stupid. Will that be all for now, Boss?"

<Inquiry>Is the land cursed? Does Corporate make it like that on purpose?

To spare time and an unneeded post, you guys have used the PC enough to know that the categories to buy from are:
>Cleaning Supplies
>Party Supplies
>Animatronics (Changes Daily)
>Expansion (1000 USD)
>Daily Special (Changes Daily)

You'll need to specify what you'll be looking for, and you can check one of those per Shopping shift.

>>5059805
For those that prefer not knowing the numbers to keep the mystery going, do not read below this:

Anything that exerts or taxes the Hive-mind's vessel physically or mentally doesn't allow healing protocol to occur, healing requires you to be 100% stationary and in standby mode. Defenseless.

>Are Higher Grade supplies upgrades or do they actually run out
The quality of your goods determines two things:
>The percent it raises the relevant value (Entertainment Value for Party, H/S for Cleaning)
>How long it lasts (1d4+1 Days for lowest quality supplies, the +x raising as quality raises), this applies to each individual room, though incidents like the Smiler last night soaking the Restroom in 'blood' can end the use of the material prematurely.

As for when your Cleaning Supplies themselves run out, for now, and this may change, it's permanent. Paying the sum and given the amount of time needed to cover each room, that was a mercy I felt you guys were owed.

It hasn't came up yet, but Party Supplies last the 1d4+X days as well, but if you throw a Party for big immediate money, it will lower the 'life expectancy' of your Party Supplies by 1.

>>5059823
Coolio!

Voting on
>Daily Special (Changes Daily)
Then, this seems like the only way to reliably upgrade our pizzeria without spending 1000 USD or having to deal with another animatronic.

Though i am also willing to go heal first, then daily deal, so we can possibly have more money for this.

On another note how do you actually decide what the daily special will be? Do you have some dice and a table that the dice number chooses from, or do you just make something up for it?

Sorry for slow responses, not just tonight but in general. That dental work may have done more harm than good, been having migraines almost daily.

>>5060034
I have four different lists, I select which one with a 1d4. Each list has 10 possibilities, I roll a 1d10 to decide. I keep the statistics of each item very vague though, since this is the first ever run of this engine, I have to balance it by "As of what they are earning/losing now, is this too good/bad?"

Same for the random Animatronics pulled for the 5 selection every day. And like the Daily Special, I have very vague concepts for what they do by Day and Night, and tweak them to what seems challenging but fair.

>>5060072
Nice, so we must've gotten pretty lucky with that security gate, are prices for the daily specials and animatronics prewritten, or is it decided with how good we are doing at the moment, or something else?

Full transparency: It turns out my whole immediate family has APS syndrome and it seems very likely my long term illnesses stem from it as well.

It takes your joints a worrying while to respond to the Hive's orders, as though some sort of schism in the connection stilled your consciousness for a very, very long time.

Luckily, you finally jerk back, and decide to make up for the time lost by checking Ol' Unreliable the garbage PC.

Name pending, that's for the Hive to decide on.

You have some Cleaning Supplies left, and decide to forego the Animatronics and Party Decor to check the Daily Special.

The dying PC screams as usual in protest, the fan jetting out occasional bursts of dust...

Two hours later.

>Jungle Gym,replaces broken Playground equipment, +5 Capacity, +10% Entertainment Value, -10% Healthy/Safety, 110 USD

Well, for the Hive that tolerates profanity, the Playground looks like shit, but you're already paying off too many medical bills for patrons as it is...

11 more Guests file in, netting you 220 more USD, bringing your total to 535 USD.

>>5072317
I say go for it, might help in the long run. Also keep the name, if only to dodge a potential BSOD

>>5072317
eh, safety is something we need to be higher, but it is not -40% at least, we can manage, go for it

>>5072317
Pfft who cares about some little thing like "health and safety" this will raise our capacity meaning more money, as long as no inspectors show up we can just keep paying off the fines, we also don't have any living workers here so OSHA can go fuck themselves.

>>5072317
backing this voice >>5072432
hope one of these days we get something that boosts H&S by a serious margin

>>5072317
Go for it, the kids spend more time outside instead of making the inside filty.

>>5072317
Yeah, that jungle gym looks nice

And for the computer name, I nominate sonic, for their lightning fast internet speed

We should at least make sure to keep on our health and safety. Don't want to let it get too low.

You decide to put the money down on the Jungle Gym. Your Pizzeria is already a death trap, may as well embrace it for revenue.

That sounds Fazbear appropriate.

You spend the 110 USD.

The Jungle Gym should be sent in tomorrow along with the inevitable Shipping costs... After the sharp incline this morning, that isn't a fun topic to dwell on...

3 more Guests file in as you finish up with the order, netting you 60 USD, bringing your total to 485 USD.

You have enough time to handle one more piece of business.

Then the Night will come.

>>5073074
Rest here in the office. While we rest, we need to plan on what to do during the night

>>5073074
>Check out the gumball machine laying on its side near the entrance and right it if neccessary.

>>5073074
I say we talk to Mr. Hugs.

>>5073203
(That was my first major fuckup, I had it on the wrong layer and at some point it got deleted, it was always there, and if I ever publish the Quest wholesale that'll have to be fixed for x amount of images, it was the first Daily Special you guys got)

>>5073074
You guys seeing this?

>>5073074
I say we order party supplies to raise our revenue even more.

>>5073074
Well while it's day let's explore the woods a bit, make sure to get back to the office before night though. We should also eventually board up the two back windows of the pizzaria, it's not as if any customers ever go back there so there isn't really a point for it not to be boarded up.

>>5073438
The problem there is boarding them up not only denies us their use as emergency exit points north, but denies us using them to look outside for threats. We have our one backdoor down the hall leading to the west wall and the playground, nothing else. Our office, cozy and "safe" as it is, is a dead end- which can easily gain an emphasis on DEAD if we accidentally sabotage ourselves without thinking things through. Am I wrong or forgetting something here?

Holy heck, literally every response is an opposite to the one prior. I may just have to roll a dice on this one after work.

>>5073234
It was a mistake on my end, I wiped the layer with it without realizing it. You guys bought that on Day 2. It adds a small amount of bonus revenue to every day, no strings attached.

I say survey the woods while we still have light. If push comes to shove we have that security door for a reason. Also, there’s not much better we can do with our time

>>5073618
>literally every response is an opposite to the one prior
A lot of things we can do, with a last slot of free daylight in which to do them. Such is life. Naturally, the Hive will end up divided and forced to delay certain actions to a later time.

Honestly, I'd say we should rest. Having less than 9 HP before the night time fucking spoops me.

…I think this is the first time the hive has been truly gripped by indecision

>>5073074
>Lets rest in the office.

sorry, didn't see your post about the gumball machine. lol.

>>5073466
Alright that's fair, gonna go with resting in the office or exploring the woods then.

>>5073074
Rest in the office, plan to explore the woods some other day

Temptation builds to use some daylight to explore the Wood, assuming it's any safer by day that is...

But you're still pretty beat up, and decide to Rest in the Office instead. Your system goes dark, and you wake up relieved to find over the couple hour 'nap' your shoulder has repaired itself.

The last thing you need is a literal handicap on top of all else that's to come.

Well, in your last moments, the normal routine awaits...

Even down to the Medical costs on your desk.

5 more Guests fall in for the evening, netting you a total of 23 Guests today.

You gain 100 additional USD, plus an additional 10 in Gumball revenue, and for keeping all three Animatronics in line, another bonus of 50 USD, bringing your total to 645 USD!

Except... a Child lost his eyes today, some sort of freak incident with the broken glass outside. The settled price is 110 USD taken from your metaphorical wallet.

Your final total for the day is 535 USD.

Despite all of the Shipping and Medical costs, you still made a Net Profit of 300 USD as you approach the End of Day.

>A Child lost his eyes today
I guess he won't be seeing us again. Oh well.
On that note, we should probably keep in mind to clean up collateral damages such as that from the nights before to keep our health and safety costs from inflating further.

With your Hallway Gate shut, and the Hall window open if you need to bolt outside...

Crickets chip, the aged wood of your Pizzeria rattles. The wind will likely be brutal tonight.

If a tree were to fall... well, best to focus on the more likely issues you'll be dealing with.

Likely to 'wake up' any minute now.

Night falls.

>>5079998
daily....specil....time....

>>5080041
ONE DAILY SPECIAL A DAY. >:C

>>5080046
Sorry. Been a while so I've forgotten. I guess we can check the forest again? Or at least go outside and gather that shattered glass.

>>5079998
Will we have to hunt for star dust again? Other than that, perhaps we should explore outside, there doesn't seem to be much we can do indoors anyhow.

>>5079998
gather that shattered glass, walk around the perimeter to inspect the area

Almost at page 10, here's the archive for this thread when it's needed:

We might as well venture outside.
