Though they might be the ringmaster, Funfox was a cautious soul once the day was done. They knew what humans could be like if any of the animatronics stepped out of line after closing hours.

(They knew it better than most, but that was a secret never to be told.)

But... This was Ballora. She never wanted to look for more beyond what was allowed. The thrill of being in the presence of a TV was such a small ask, when all was said and done. The fox knew better than to let their uncertainty get in the way of that. In fact, they shouldn't be showing this scared side at all. That was terribly out of character!

"Yes, that's quite correct," he confirmed in a whisper. Then, she continued... And Funfox could feel a tug deep within the internal casing. How could they deny her this? How cruel would it be to let her know something of interest was so close and refuse? It would be dangerous to let her go by herself. That could not happen.

But... Freddy, Bonbon, and Baby were all elsewhere tonight. It was just the two performers. Maybe it could be a moment for them to share.

"Of course I am going with you. I'm not missing out on the chance to experience such a thing! There could be good ideas waiting just over there, and I will be your eyes so you can lose yourself in the magic." Because that was what it had to be, right? They could encourage this. Let her experience the joy she should always be allowed to have. Gently, they took her offered hand and wrapped it around their arm. "Allow me to escort you to the show on this fine evening."

If any of the staff were to catch the pair out, Funfox was designed to be a distraction. They would make sure Ballora did not hear a peep of trouble. It was their duty as the ringmaster.

So I discovered this song exists today and it gives me immense Y.ancy vibes.

To be more precise, it gives me "him covering this song with his ukulele" vibes. It's so playful!

[theauthorlives]

Sometimes I think about how I write Yancy as just a dude. In terms of stories, timelines, loops… He has no idea what’s going on. In fact, he’s completely oblivious to it since he’s in prison. The tattoos change for reasons beyond his control, and he’s just forced to go with it. (He hates the new tattoos with a passion but he can’t change them).

Which means that if he meets others that know a different timeline version of him, he’d be so confused. He doesn’t know it’s a looping mess! He doesn’t know about people creating characters and figuring out plots. He’s just a guy trying to live a quiet prison life!

Yancy stopped talking when the other turned to glare at him. However, if it was intended to intimidate, it did nothing but give him time to note what the response was.

He shrugged.

"Well, you got nothing to lose, right? And while it's all good to stay on youse's own, sometimes it's not a bad thing to know that there's another person out there. And if others realise youse is on youse's own... It does make things a bit harder with the gangs in this place. Best to keep youse's head low, if you asks me."

(The Convict had not asked for his opinion, of course, but it was free advice.)

"At the very least, pretending youse has got someone in youse's corner oughta keep the others outta the way."

You slow on your feet at the other's insistence, especially as the shorter continued to ramble forth god knows what about the place you were transferred into. The truth was, you didn't care what the other had to say, even as he paddled on about about the situation of things, somewhere inside you there comes the realization this guy might've been one of the top dogs. Probably trying to recruit you for whatever gang this place had under its roof.

You had stilled your movements now, staring upon the shorter with a gaze that reads your thoughts well, you want the other to fuck off, brows knit together before you allow yourself to fully turn to face the prisoner, arms crossing over your chest. Hair falling in your face as you take a moment to truly process and piece together what was set before you.

( and why would i be interested in trusting you in anything you've said to me right now, Yancy. )

Without a second thought, Gunther pulled down his hood and yanked off his bandana.

"I thought I'd put out a notice for others not to come this way. I'm testing the motion sensors on the newest turrets. Let me see that." The material was scrunched up and pressed firmly on Mark's shoulder. It didn't matter that it would be stained beyond recognition - he had spares. "It was only the shoulder they hit, was it? Nothing else feels disjointed? We'll be able to get you to the medbay. Just hold this here, okay? Give me a sec to deactivate these two."

[theauthorlives]

a few of these i had lying around. idk

[theauthorlives]

Are you crossover and au friendly ?

OOC: For the most part, yes! I'm fairly open to crossovers, though I'm not very informed about a lot of things. However, if there's a chance for something to happen I can made a verse to help make things a little easier.

(Just be aware that if you're looking at a muse on the 'inactive' part of the list, it might not be a guarantee that anything will happen.)

Yancy sighed, nodding his head slowly in agreement. "Yeah... She definitely ain't the best, but it's all I could get with a tight budget." He continued flapping the page in front of the engine. "We can't do nothing until it cools down first. Pretty sure there's a clog in the fan that I'll need to look into when I get back. If the kid wants to take a look at it to get some practice in, he's more than welcome to."

He leaned back, the flapping slowing to a halt as he turned his attention to the lady. "Eh, sorry again for parking out here. Youse said it ain't too busy, right? What's this place anyway?"

Happy Trails is a public prison. With changes in management, the focus over the years shifted to rehabilitation in an attempt to lessen the local population's reoffending problem. There's access to plenty of classes and workshops to help prisoners upskill or get education certificates they might have missed (for instance; Y.ancy could complete one to get a high school diploma if he wanted). It's strict, but it's fair.

However, it isn't without flaws. The pay is still pittance, and there are some connections with private corporations. In some cases, these can be good (such as training service dogs), but they can be bad (such as road maintenance on the highways).

My main argument for it not being private is that one distinguishing factor of a private prison is a high prisoner population; and Happy Trails seems to be able to afford cells with space, and nice quality spaces. Plus, I feel like a for-profit establishment would not want to focus on rehabilitation.
