u/VAfton

{Vanny is once again on the run. This time in a hurry to get back. It's likely by now that the cult is more than aware she's no longer in their custody and possibly out hunting her again. Luckily she still has the mask she snagged earlier if needed. A bunny mask, convenient. Hopefully it will be enough. Long enough to get to safety at least. Then they can try to come up with another plan. Before this little side demon quest she also needs to worry about.

She passes by a building and freezes. A familiar sense catches in the far distance. She'd know that non-living individual anywhere. It can only be from one in particular. Do they also have Vanessa and Michael's sister in holding? Are they tormenting her?

Should she veer off and investigate to see if Elizabeth is actually there also? Another risky move? For all she knows it could be a trap. But that's pretty advanced. Unless the demon did share the truth about her and her abilities.

Or just head back now for now and reconvene with everything she's learned?}

Vanny: "Ugh, what can't anything ever be non complicatingly easy?!"

[[OOC: by sense its almost like a unique scent or something that Vanny recognizes from certain ppl, esp one's she's been around for a while lol]]

[[OOC: I was gonna wait and post later but then go bored and wrote it 🤣]]

{Vanny easily makes her way through, almost like she knows the place. In truth, she's far too distracted. This experience didn't go exactly as she thought. She'd figured she'd slip in, go through a weak interrogation, get out, hack further into the system, and run back out. Find out exactly what the therapist knew and how (and why) she was involved. (Maybe find out how to free any others there.)

Instead they just had more concerns none of them would have ever considered. Despite never even making contact with Raelynn she found out the therapist was nothing more than another threat. She still didn't truly know what the cult was really up to or why. And now Afton was (in a way) back again and sharing with a demon who was way too knowledgeable and interested in her former host.

And she obviously trusts him as much as she does Afton. They were in deep. And, unless Michael and Dave were able to learn more, nowhere near even being caught up.

She freezes as she hears a sound and sees a figure come around the corner. Probably some young stupid guard who has no idea what he got himself into. He sees her, eyes widen and hits an alarm in the seconds before she knocks him out.

Turns out it's a little more urgent workout now.}

{Eleanor has been painfully slowly recovering. Whatever that ink demon did it let a real number on her. An ultimate state of weakened she's never experienced, not even when she was attacked and ambushed by that stupid solidier.

(She's dreamed of bringing him back, just in order to inflict her revenge, make him feel her pain. Enternal suffering. Something he managed to escape all too easily.)

She's been able to find enough suffering to feed off of (it's an endless supply here) and even that hasn't been enough. She still doesn't know or understand what exactly happened.

But she's felt Vanessa. Briefly. Not nearly long enough to track her. Just short periods. But something is blocking her more than ever. None of those they've encountered have ever had that ability or been anywhere close to poweful enough.

So what new "friend" managed to stumble upon and is shielding her now?}

{Vanny stares at the screen again reading the coordinates before sitting back in thought. This time she's sure she's got it. That's where the messages are coming from. So whether it's actually Raelynn who ended up falling into a wrong crowd, or someone pretending to be her, they know where to start. But she doubts they'll find exactly what they're looking for. More than likely it's a trap and they'll be waiting there for them also.

In fact, she's counting on it. After making sure that Dave and Michael are gone and will be out for hours she knows what she has to do.}

Vanny: "Hey, MJ?"

{{Vanny, still pretending to be Vanessa, has been communicating for a while with Raelynn, who is pretending to be concerned about reaching out to her. Both women of course lying. During each message, Vanny keeps running an undetectable program trying to track where the messages are coming from. So far each time ends in dead end. The cult is also running their own tracking on Vanny's messages. Of course they don't know that between Vanny and MJ's abilities and Michael's fortified system all they'll keep finding is random locations. Which of course the group isn't at.

These are some of their messages.}

Raelynn: Vanessa, it's really important we meet. I can't risk someone finding out what I know. These messages could hacked and tracked at any time.

Vanny: I understand. But I'm not sure it's safe. For you or me.

Raelynn: Are you being followed? You need to find somewhere safe. Are you with Michael? You both could be in danger.

Vanny: I haven't even talked to him in years. I have no idea where he is or anything. He ignored me when I needed him.

Raelynn: I'm sorry to hear that. If you hear from him let me know. Maybe I can talk to him.

{A few weeks later}

Vanny: Okay I think I'm ready to meet. But it needs to be somewhere safe. And in disguise. We'll make code to recognize each other as safe.

Raelynn: That sounds smart. Do you have anyone who can go with you?

Vanny: No, I don't have anyone. It's just me. I'll send you coordinates and we'll do it on the 15th.

{Days later: Vanny obviously didn't actually go and the cult staked out the meeting spot waiting for her for hours}

Raelynn: Vanessa, what happened? You weren't there. Is everything okay?

Vanny: I'm okay. Sorry I should have told you. I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was following me. I tried to lose them but kept seeing someone after every corner. So I ran until I finally lost them. I didn't even go home just found a new spot.

Raelynn: Oh, no! Are you sure you're safe? Is there someone still following you? You can't be alone, it's not safe.

Vanny: I know but there isn't anyone I can trust. I'm scared to even go out now.

Raelynn: [sends photos of obvious break-in and damage to her house] As you can see I had visitors of my own. I'm staying in a motel under an alias. This is getting serious. We really to talk. Please, Vanessa. It's important.

Vanny: I know and I understand. I just can't. You have to understand.

Raelynn: I do, but this can't go on like this. You need to be somewhere safe. Like I have.

{After Vanny was able to finally track it and made the decision to carry out her plan she sends one more message out.}

Vanny: Okay, I'm ready.

[[OOC: Obviously the women were playing each other. Rae was fishing to find out if Michael was involved and if "Vanessa" would lie about it.]]

{Vanessa hurries along quickly but silently trying to hide her dread. What had she done? Her history of "making deals" never quite went the way intended, especially when someone else's safety was involved.

Which so far had been all of them. Arrangements made with whichever devil haunted them the most at the time. Paul: ending her up tortured and tormented only for everyone to push harder to find and save her. Bradford: leading to the creation of an even worse entity that would torment all of them. Her father: proving just how alone, desperate, and helpless she really was. And the list of names in red caused in her name just grew each time

Now what was going to come of this one? Would more around her lose everything as she watched in guilt? Would she become yet again something else as she always seemed to in these situations?}

[[OOC: I might not be online much due to another busy day and possibly working late. Hit or miss lol]]

Vanny: "YES!!!!! I did it!"

{She suddenly pulls away from the computer desk in excitement and pulls the headset off her head, almost pulling out the two buns her hair has been pulled into. She's been typing away furiously for hours and practically springs out of the chair. Then she realizes that her excitement might have been a bit much for anyone (which would be everyone) who wasn't aware of what she was seeing.}

Vanny: "Oh um sorry."

[[OOC: Apparently I had this in my drafts and not posted like I thought I did 😅 Anyways]]

{As expected Vanessa has felt mostly worry and guilt. She is still unfamiliar with everything (and couldn't fight back the eerie feeling of doom that keeps creeping throughout her body and mind).

It didn't help they still haven't seen or heard anything else from Tom. Plus she isn't entirely sure if the whispering voices are still just haunting her mind or physically harassing her.

She also wonders how things are back home. Is he really gone for good? Is someone working on bringing Malhare back, or something even worse? What about Liz? Seeing as how Michael seemed to have dropped of the face of the earth (or was just straight ignoring her), who would she turn to? And what chaos was Vanny making out there, pretending to be her? Would she even make it back home to ever see?

And there is still the fact she is doing everything she can to avoid Eleanor. And it seems to be working seeing as how she hasn't felt any pain or pull as she had been whenever in the demon's vicinity.

But she's still Vanessa Afton and knows all too well about the calm before the storm.....}

{Vanny is once again up early. For some reason she just doesn't sleep in anymore.

Still no word from Michael but she's not that concerned. If she knows him (and technically as a part of Vanessa she does), he's probably deep into some kind of search. After all the questions he asked the other night (and how fast he disappeared), he probably took the tunnels and went back where she came from digging into everything, watching any footage and who knows what.

Instead of worrying, she sits down at the computer and continues doing her own research. So far whoever was after her hasn't seen to up here or at the pizzeria. So did they just give up? Or did she actually manage to fully get away? Something didn't make sense. Although she never saw any faces (mostly by not letting them get close enough to her), she knows there were at least humans AND pretty sure some animatronics. William was officially gone, Eleanor off to who the hell knows, Jason didn't seem that set on revenge, and barely anyone left knew about "her." Seeing as how the other one would be Paul and he had just up and disappeared before everything even happened.

So who the hell was after Vanessa?

She's about to log off when she notices a new message in Vanessa's email she occasionally checks. She clicks on it curiously and a recording plays.}

*Recording: "*Vanessa, it's me, Raelynn. I know it's been a few years since we last saw each other but I really need to talk to you. I think you're in danger. Someone broke into my office recently and stole only your files. Please reach out to me. I saw something important that you need to know, but I don't trust telling the police You know you can trust me. I've left my contact below."

{Vanny sits back in shock. She recognizes the voice alright. But why would Nessa's former therapist (former until she went into law enforcement) be trying to reach out her? Rae was possibly the only adult Vanessa had growing up to talk to. And if somebody did steal Vanessa's files, who and why? Did what Raelynn see answer who or at least why?}

{In the time they've been trapped here, Eleanor has been quite busy. Once it was obvious that something was seeming to block her from Vanessa, she'd focused on other things. As usual, how to work things on her favor.

And to that meant discovering what powered this place. One thing interesting about that weird substance is how drawn it seemed to her and voice versa. She'd allowed a small bit of agony to interact with the ink and found they bonded together very easily. Almost they were meant to work together. And after absorbing just a sample herself, she could feel it. Something diffent. Powerful. That she needed. It changed her agony. It changed her.

But absorbing it could only do so much.

It wouldn't matter long.

Not anymore.}

{The next morning the school was abuzz with the news of Kelly's unusual disappearance.

The school security officers and student counselors took turns talking to each student that either knew her or possible involvement. Vanessa thought it was questioning for investigation, but instead it was to ensure their mental well being. To calm down their worries and fear.

In all, it didn't seem they were to concerned about it being a real issue. Just another runaway. A freshman who wanted to rebel and would eventually return once she learned she wasn't made for the outer rule.

But something was different about this. Kelly was a scaredy cat. She didn't even like to go to the Fazbear Mall because it was to big. She'd only gone the other night for her best friend's birthday.

The last time anyone saw her was when she left to walk home. Rumors flew among all the students but no real concern in any of the adults. One teacher has suggested a mandatory curfew but had been laughed at since there was no evidence it was needed.

With a sigh, she closed her locker and pulled up her backpack, passing through all the crowds and waves of gossip.

{After Michael sent Vanny off on her own (hidden behind her new mask), she wasn't quite sure what to do. He seems pretty certain that no one concerning would be able to get in.

Well hopefully he's right. Except that Vanny had given herself an extra benefit. By being connected into the network she also has access to all the cameras. So the moment any alert goes off she'll know immediately. On the off chance this new threat is able to override anything. Or even try to send in any outside electronics or devices (including animatronics).

But for now... Well she might as well do what she was told. Where to start?

Michael's claim about the impressive size and quality of the place compared to any of the previous locations seemed to be true.

Why not start from the beginning? So she walks to the entrance, putting herself into the shoes of a customer, new to the world of animatronic attractions and experiences. Walking through the massive walkway, she moves toward the café.

Time to see if the food has really improved that much.

{Vanny wakes up with a start completely confused. Where is she? What happened?

After a few minutes to calm down, she remembers everything from the night before. How she woke up from her nightmare about Malhare and ended up overhearing THE Michael Afton (who she just had to stumble upon, didn’t she?) yelling at someone he seemed to think was his father. She knew better though. She had seen his destruction that he SHOULDN'T be able to come back from.

But listening to his emotionally rage-filled responses was too much like what she remembered from Vanessa. Who (or what) ever was on the end of the phone seemed to be really playing into it. Digging at him and playing the asshole a little too well.

So, instead of sneaking away like she should have, she found herself unable to turn away, and put an end to it. What came next was something she never imagined. Least of all from him of all people. But maybe she'd just had some severely repressed trauma for years and never a moment to really think and let it out. Not when everyone was either too busy chasing her, comparing her to who she'd never be, or just so focused on what she had done, seeing her as nothing more than something to erradicate.

When Paul had disappeared, instead of an easy out she found herself trapped by Malhare. Either directly or through Vanessa during her memory loss and manipulation. And after him came Afton himself. A man she already hated (but never feared) through Vanessa.

And all she had through it was Jason, who eventually turned on and attacked her. And Mike Schmidt, who she couldn't even understand if was willingly with her or just so broken with nowhere else to go. And after everything, it was just her always on the run. No matter how she tried to change her looks, somehow they still knew. Or at least THOUGHT she was Vanessa. And nobody so desperately eager to find that girl was good news.

And now with Michael....

She gets up and moves around the place, starting to explore. Vanessa had always wondered what came of Henry when he never responded to her. And Vanny had always wondered how different things would have been had Vanessa known that Michael was actually looking for her and hadn't abandoned her afterall.

Speaking of which, she finds him typing away furiously at a computer. It's then she personally sees the similarities and differences between him and his father. A striking comparison.}

Vanny: [without thinking] "What are you doing?"

[[OOC: this is a dream sequence Vanny had when she passed out after Malhare Jr jumped out her after running into Michael Afton.]]

{Vanny groans as she stands up. She's in a dark but quiet area. She catches sight of herself in the reflection of a dark window. She's wearing a long gown, exactly like Vanessa originally had inside the PQ game, but in a deep dark violet, with matching tiara. Her hair is jet black and has purple eyes.}

Vanny: [reaches up yanking off the tiara with a growl] "Are you freaking kidding me?!"

{Vanny tries to open the door and finds it locked.}

Vanny: "Of course." [kicks door open in rage and it snaps open] "Now THAT was worth it. Hopefully Henry had the same idea when it comes to security. You did say that's where it led, right?"

I'm gonna be updating the character lists soon. Want to confirm if all these taken are still accurate. If I missed any or got wrong just let me know. :)

​

Note this does NOT include OCs or other fandom characters, just existing FNAF.

​

And, until I delete it, you can also request on here.

So, unless there's any objections, think we'll go with the Afton loyalist cult plot.

​

Details still being worked out. But here's the important part:

​

We need members lol. You can use your existing OCs/claimed characters or make/claim new ones. This can include (willing/brainwashed/controlled/manipulated/tricked) humans, dead/ghosts, animatronics, etc.

​

You can also introduce AU versions or characters from other fandoms. Just make sure in your request you state how they came to this world and their involvement.

​

Ask any questions below and I'll add details as they are determined and such. :)

{After dropping Liz into someone else's responsibilities (who hopefully WON'T mess it up), Vanny took off immediately. She didn't even bother going to find Mike, she just fled. G.R.A.A was hardly her worst concern.

​

She knew there were still remnants of Fazbear around, the dark side others didn't know existed. And worse things out there. That may have been actively looking for her, or would be in they knew she existed. And after the extremely uncoverable event that just occured, they'd be swarming the area soon in interest and looking for answers.

​

So she ran, and blended. Hiding in plain sight just long enough to rest before dipping again. She wouldn't let anyone close enough to really see her.

​

She didn't even give herself time to figure herself out. Vanessa was a survivor and she could be too.

​

Learning a few new tricks and skills along the way couldn't hurt. Not when you were the prey....}

The Fazbear Delivery Service has NOT been officially reactivated. I only wanna be transparent so I'm not hiding behind anything. I know several recipients have reported receiving deliveries they did not request. Unfortunately, no, I do not know how your information was acquired but rest assured you haven't been charged for any of it.

​

If anyone recieves ANYTHING with Fazbear label on it do not open or move it. And definitely don't take it inside! Call Fazbear IMMEDIATELY and choose the option for technician assistance. Stay in your house until the package have been retrieved and removed.

​

Pass this information onto any and everyone. Call if you notice any large suspicious packages outside your neighbor's house. Someone will still investigate.

​

Do NOT call law enforcement. They have already stated they will not respond or pass the information on.

​

Thank you for your timely assistance in this matter.

Although they also said my name was attached to it, I SWEAR I had no knowledge or involvement with this. I wasn't even aware of it until I started getting the calls about it saying my name was in the paperwork signing it off. I never even had anything to do with the service before it was shut down so I don't understand why it would be on there now.}}
