u/JedediahBucklesmith made a post about this recently, so I guess I’ll be repeating a bit of it here.

In his post, he has a picture of Scott Cawthon responding to a statement from a user named Dallows about how too advanced the animatronics were back when the first game came out in 2014.

Scott’s response to this was along the lines of “ keep searching within the game, and you’ll find the answers to why the animatronics are able to move the way they do,” which more than confirms that the only reason the animatronics are able to move off the stage is because the souls of the children are inhabiting the animatronics.

However, I think within the context of FNaF 1 only, Scott’s original intention was that the children were murdered in the kitchen, not only because the camera was busted, but because its the one place where the bodies can be moved out the back door, and disposed of into the killer’s car. The souls began haunting the restaurant, and became stuck in the animatronics.

I don’t think the bodies being stuffed into the animatronics was never Scott’s intention, and if it was, then this would be the very first instance of his poor writing choices, since it makes no sense for the killer to not be caught on camera stuffing the bodies into the suits if it was in parts and services.

I think, after the first game, though, Scott realized how attached the community was to the idea of the bodies being stuffed into the animatronics, so he slowly began retconning the MCI so that the animatronics were already too advanced for the restaurant to even have; he retconned the animatronics to be able to walk around the restaurant on their own before the bodies were even stuffed.

I think this is partly why the toy animatronics exist in FNaF 2, to test the waters to see how people will respond to the advanced technology of the toy animatronics in 1987.

By FNaF 3, he’s full steam ahead with the advanced technology of the springlock suits, and he even goes as far to establish a safe room that the regular animatronics, which are now able to walk around during the day, cannot detect.

In the Save Them minigame, we see five bodies and six blood puddles. One of these blood puddles is underneath one of the two tables in Party Room 4.

Throughout the gameplay of FNaF 2, when we look at the surveillance cameras in Party Room 4, that table and the blood on the floor is gone, implying that the events of Save Them occurred during Purple Guy’s week as a Night Guard.

If we had to guess, it probably occurred on his fifth night on duty. Hell, maybe even his sixth night. If he worked a seventh night, he would’ve been fired and not transferred over to the dayshift. So that leaves us with the dates of November 5th- November 6th, 1987.

There is no speculation or rumors about the events of Save Them at all in this game from here on out.

On November 9th, Phone Guy records a phone call for Jeremy Fitzgerald to listen to an hour or so later for his third night shift.

I wanted to ease your mind about any rumours you might have heard lately. You know how these local stories come and go and seldom mean anything. I can personally assure you, that whatever is going on out there, however tragic it may be, has nothing to do with our establishment. It’s just all rumour and speculation, People trying to make a buck, you know. Uh, our guard during the day has reported nothing unusual, and he’s on watch from opening ’til close.

This phone recording is not talking about the Save Them incident, since that occurred during Purple Guy’s shift as a Night Guard four or five days prior. This phone recording is discussing an incident that occurred recently during Purple Guy’s week on day shift, since he was asked to have seen anything happened, and he conveniently didn’t.

So whatever this incident is occurred on either November 8th during the day (in-between Jeremy’s first and second shift) or November 9th during the day (in-between Jeremy’s second and third shift).

At first, I thought that the incident that occurred would be the Take Cake To The Children minigame, where Purple Guy is seemingly driving up to/away from the restaurant when a birthday party is occurring inside, and spots a child locked outside before killing them and driving away, leading to the possession of the Puppet. And from information gathered in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator, that child’s body was not found; it disappeared after the Puppet exited the restaurant to cradle the child’s corpse.

However, the incident being referred to in the phone recordings by Phone Guy can’t be referring to the murder of the Puppet child outside of the building…because the Puppet sprite in Save Them is the exact same as the one in Give Gifts Give Life, in which we see the possessed Puppet seemingly giving life to the Withered animatronics.

So the order of events would be any one of the following combinations:

* Foxy Go Go Go or TCTTC
* Take Cake To The Children or FGGG
* Give Gifts Give Life
* Save Them

Regardless of the order of events, it’s apparent that Foxy Go Go Go is occurring in an entirely different location since we see Foxy exiting Pirate’s Cove.

We know TCTTC occurred prior to Save Them because the Puppet needs to be possessed in order to lead Withered Freddy around.

We know that the Puppet gives life to the withered animatronics in GGGL, and we know that Save Them occurred during Purple Guy’s week as a night guard.

So…what incident occurred during Jeremy’s work week that Phone Guy was so worried about that he and Fazbear Entered needed assurance from Purple Guy that he saw nothing? An incident that led to rumors circulating around town?

Do we think the Night Watchman job was a thing pre-MCI, or was it created in response to the MCI?
