FAZBEAR'S FRIGHT: TEST DRIVE

Welcome to Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction! Interested in the game but not sure if your character would fit in the setting? Then this meme is for you! Hell, bring in anyone you want, even if you don't plan on applying. Everybody's thought at some point what they would do in frightening situations - they just happen to involve murderous robots in this case. When making a top level with your character, make sure to include their full name and canon in the subject line, and whether they are original canon or AU or what have you. Keep the setting in mind for writing prompts, and have fun!

[The rush of adrenaline comes with three responses: fight, flight, freeze. Anise is a soldier, trained for battle. Trained for war. Trained to protect the most important religious figure on Auldrant. There isn't time for 'freeze', there never is. In the heat of the moment, all actions must be decisive and automatic.

At least they get warning with the Mangle. And hey, Dawn, she's not gonna judge you for the plushie - she still has Tokunaga hanging off her shoulders, after all. She knows how much comfort it can be to just have something.]

Do you remember the path you took through the vents? We need to make it to a stairwell...

[withtherisingsun]

I...

[Dawn tries to remember--tracing back the events a little; she was wandering around...she thinks she was in a kitchen before hand, and she'd gone to a floor below--that's when she saw it. Thinking about it...]

Right vent...right, right, left...maybe right...? [Talking to herself, don't mind her.]

Two rights, a left, and...I think a right. I...I'm pretty sure of it. [She doesn't know entirely--her faltering voice might demonstrate that. She was too busy rushing--she wouldn't be surprised if the Mangle heard that, or anything else did.]

[andfightingdirty]

[She keeps running even as she thinks. They've made a left since then, so... The stairs are probably not too far. If they can find some vents, they can cut through them, provided they move quietly - the banging is good for knowing when an animatronic is coming, but also pretty good for telling them where you are.]

Alright. Deep breaths, okay? I think I know where the stairs we took to this floor are. [They just have to keep moving and quietly. The Mangle's buzzing is getting quieter behind them. If they keep up this pace, they should be able to lose it.]

[withtherisingsun]

[Well, she'll at least take Anise's advice--if Anise knows what she's doing, then they're bound to get out of this with everything intact. Dawn's willing to put her faith in her, at the very least.]

Okay...okay. [At least Dawn's voice isn't wavering as bad! Progress. Still, a part of her can't help but feel a little embarrassed...she'll probably need a few moments when they get to a safe spot.]

[andfightingdirty]

[She might be acting stronger and more in control than she actually feels. Just a little. Dawn seems to need someone to follow right now, and maybe if Anise works at it even she will start to believe her own bravado.]

We'll get out of here eventually. These things aren't that scary!

[withtherisingsun]

[...That is very, very true. She couldn't trust herself to lead, after all, so someone far more competent behind the wheel is always welcome.]

Y-yeah. That'll show them, once we're outta here...

[...She doesn't sound completely confident, but she at least believes her words? Somewhat?

Though, it's starting to become a little apparent that one of Dawn's feet might be making more sound than the other--take a guess who lost a boot in the vent? She might try to lose the other one, in the hall, too; it makes a lot less sound...]

[andfightingdirty]

[Whether or not Anise can live up to that remains to be seen, but she'll try. Even if on some level she kind of thinks she shouldn't survive this, she's got a goal to pursue now and she won't just up and die before she gets a chance at it. She'll go down fighting or not at all.]

...Did you lose a shoe?

[Actually, losing her own shoes might be a good idea, she hasn't noticed anything especially dangerous on the ground and stocking feet have to be quieter than bare or shod.]

[withtherisingsun]

In the vent, yes.

[...Technically she didn't do it on purpose; the shoe was loose in the vent itself, and she lost it before she came out and flashed Anise in the face.

Hopefully it doesn't come back just because of that, but maybe it'd be good if she lost her other shoe when it was safe...]
