Wilbur followed the Security Guard called Clay but on his nametag was the name Dream on it "Well you probably are asking yourselves why my nametag states the name Dream instead of Clay. The reason you'll understand soon, trust me, there is a reason why this job pays well" Clay said in a lose calmness. They stopped infront of a room "This is where he retreats to rest" Clay said a bit of fear bubbling in the sentence.

He opened the doors with keys and walked in "Crow turns on when he detects lights or noises." Clay said barely above a whisper "Please be silent." he pleaded and got a nod from the trio behind him. The three trailed after Clay who maneuverd around cans or wires.

Once they reached the other side of the room Clay unlocked a door leading to a long hallway for staff. Clay held up his hand as a sign to stop walking while he looked around. The moment he deemed it safe enough he held the door open for three to walk through.

He closed the door and locked it when everybody was through, before Philza or Techno could ask a question Clay answered easily.

"Purpled likes to roam the staff halls, so be careful once you go through them in the night. Now follow me, I think you don't wanna stay here, do you?"

-After the 'shift'-

"That was creepy, that Animatronic, Crow (a.k.a Tommy) the Elytrian, Clay said he was the worst of all, the other three combined are nothing to him." Wilbur asked his brother who nodded "He is the worst one of all."

Phil was listening to the conversation his two sons were having. It was horrible it felt like a eternity had past even though it was only a few hours.

The family went to sleep having one worry in their head.

Do not die.

Little did they know, they would have the worst time of their life.

Crow laughed as a child wanted to be picked up by him, he happily picked the little boy up, booping his nose and causing him to sneeze.

The kid bursted out laughing as he tickled him, his feathered ears twitched as the boy reached for them and touching them.

Another kid played with one of his wings, fiddling with the feathers there while another kid was on his long feathery bird tail.

As the parents of the little boy called he sat down and let him go, ushering him to his parents when he whined he didn't want to leave.

"Have a Cawsome Day!"

Crow said as he waved the little family of three goodbye. He was free of kids now, they were too busy now with Goat.

He looked around, seeing Sam and the new security guards. The man waved him over and he walked over, his long bird legs helping him to be there in a less than six strides.

"Hey Crow, just wanted to let you know these are the new security guards, their shift will start today and I thought you could tour them since Dream didn't. It's fine if you don't want to."

Sam explained, gesturing to the trio who looked terrified of Crow. It makes sense though.

Being in front of an animatronic around 13'0 that can crush you like a useless ant it only tends to make sense.

"I don't mind."

He responded, scanning the three.

"-No he is just scanning you, he is just making himself a bit more knowledgeable about you."

Sam replied, to something Philza asked. Crow blinked before shaking his head, extending his right talons (hand) for a handshake.

"Hello Philza Watson."

Philza snapped his head towards him, looking at the extended talons and shaking them, albeit hesitantly.

"Hello... uhm, Crow?"

It sounded more like a question than a greeting but Crow took it, unlike other people they aren't running away in fear.

He smiled retracting his talons and staring for a moment before he clapped his talons.

"Let's go, I still have children to take care of."

Crow walked forward ushering the three forwards with his left wing, he noticed how Philza looked behind to Sam who waved with a smile.

-Philza's POV-

Phil should have expected this. This was a job about making sure the animatronics don't do something to the guests.

Though he couldn't shake off the feeling of fear and protectiveness the longer he stared at the animatronic.

Now he was walking beside the animatronic, he turned his head to look over his shoulder at Sam who waved with a reassuring smile.

He turned his head again and felt a shiver run down his spine. He glanced up only to see Crow- the animatronic- stare at him, Crow smiled and turned his eyes forward.

Phil was definitely not having a good day.

Crow walked across the pizza plex and explained to them where everything was, map bots ignored them, seemingly wanting to avoid Crow at all cost.

Like a plague.

But it turned out that Crow wasn't actually that bad. He was actually quite calm and laid back.

"And that would be The Antarctica Empire, my place where I usually am in the day."

Crow pointed towards his place, now that Phil was looking more closely he understood why Crow belonged there.

The animatronics plumage was very fluffy and thick. Good for cold weather. Phil nodded to himself.

"If you have any questions or need me, I will be there probably and when not, I am taking rounds."

Crow spoke, Phil didn't question the word 'rounds', it explains itself but he was still a bit confused.

Why would Crow need to make rounds?

Was it a safety protocol or just something to busy him?

Would he even do that after closing?

"Before you question, I make rounds to check on the others, since we aren't in the same room and all."

He added, clearing up Phil's questions before even asking them.

"Alright then. I think that's it for now. If you don't have the layout memorised I am sure the map bots would give you a map."

Crow said, walking towards his place. He waved at them and also wished them something along the line of a 'cawsome' day.

Overall, it wasn't bad but still, Phil would rather be safe than sorry.

Crow stood in the hall.

It was empty, for the most part.

There were some boxes and such.

In midst of it laid a body.

Blood was splattered all around and it was not breathing- it wasn't alive-

Not anymore at least.

It wasn't him who killed the worker, no, no.

It was Ender.

His eyes were a pure purple.

Crow stumbled upon the scene since he wanted to find Sam.

He hid behind a corner and watched how Ender ripped out the guts of the human.

He wanted to help but he just couldn't.

He couldn't move.

There were footsteps approaching, he realised after a while.

A gasp.

"What happened?"

Sams voice.

A shaky tone accompanied it.

Crow turned sideways so he was facing the security guard.

"Ender happened."

He eventually said, his wings fluffing up.

A muttered 'shit' could be heard as Sam rushed over, past him, to the body.

The security guard dialed a number on his phone and hastily spoke to the person on the other side.

Crow blinked as he stared, Sam looking over his shoulder to him.

He smiled, turning away and walking down the hall.

Peculiar.

How does a human look like on the inside?

A day passed and he was making his rounds.

He was entering Alien Invasion when he came across him.

Philza was walking around and bumped into him, literally.

Crow did round a corner.

The blonde man regained his composure quite fast, looking up at him.

"Ah- Crow.. what are you doing here?"

A moment of silence.

"My rounds."

Phil blinked and smiled.

"Ok. Uhm. I will just leave then."

"Oh don't be so nervous! I won't do anything, how about I take you with me?"

The security guard looked dumbfounded.

"I-.. why did you feel the need to specify that you won't do anything?"

Because of Ender.

"Because I want you to feel more comfortable around me."

Philza then nodded, muttering 'makes sense'.

"Ok. Then I will come with you."

"Lovely!"
