âRichieâ you muttered as you turned over and reached over for your fluffy partner.
Only to hear a lightly squeak. You sat up and looked down having accidentally hitted the small Bobby Bearhug doll who looked up at you, annoyed at being squish.
âWhat the-â you started and lifted up the blankets only to find the rest of the Critter gang snuggling against her legs and , no wonder you felt warm.
âOk-no you guys know the rules no surprise cuddlesâ you said shaking your legs to get them away and you swing your legs over to the side of your bed, you reach for your clock only to find it gone and your blink before turning your head to the 6 smiling critters looking at you as they sat on the bed.
âOk which of you little brats ate my alarm clock? Iâm looking at you pigâ you said looking at PickyPig who burp a bit which cause the Clock inside the ring a bit.
You took in a deep breath still trying to figure out why you let Rich and Theo convince you to bring these 6 back home.
You open your drawer and got out your wristwatch and blink seeing it was almost 9. You had your alarm normally set for 6 to get started on your day.
You got up and looked over at the plushies still on your bed and made a shooing motion âgo, go find your leaderâ you spoke you didnât say which one exactly though.
You went to the bathroom to get your morning started and was more confuse when you came back out and the dolls were still there.
Usually by more they would be off looking for one if the larger crittersâŠunless someone told them to stay in the room.
You were proven right when you tried to head out only to get tackle back.
For tiny things they were stronger together.
âDonât make me get the lighter!â You threaten and that was enough to cause them to back up.
You sat up and frown seeing their sad faces, you didnât like useing threats but sometimes it was needed.
You stood up, making sure they werenât going to try and tackle you again before heading out, you heard them fallow right behind you.
You walked threw the formally two story home (formally since you had the second floor and attic removed to make room for your taller friends and husband).
You step to the side as a boogie bot rolled by fallowed by a Cat-Bee chasing after it.
You waved hi to Kissy and Catnap who were watching cartoons on a tv set to their eye height and you headed to the kitchen. You stop and sniff.
Smelling pancakes and eggs andâŠdonuts?
You moved more quicker since you made it clear none of the toys were allowed near the stove for safety reasons.
You came in and clear your throat upon seeing poppy on the counter. Her dress covered by a homemade pink apron.
She was useing her body to carry a spatula with a pancake over to a plate of them.
âWhat did I say about useing the kitchenâ you spoke as you came over and turn the stove off.
âDonât worry Angel she was just helping meâ a voice spoke.
You sigh softly and turned around and look up at your 15 feet tall husband.
âWanted to get your little surprise readyâ
You rose a brow confuse âsurprise?â You asked.
You heard poppy clear her throat and use the spatial to point at the calander.
You froze.
âWait-our anniversaryâ you slap your forehead mentally yelling at yourself. You took today off and had completely forgotten about it.
âI-Iâm sorryâ you began gently taking your husband paw and pressed it to your cheek lightly.
You been working later nights the past month due to some employees quitting.
You been so busy that you had forgotten about it.
Rich kneeled down and gently pressed his head against yours in a form of a forehead kiss.
âItâs alright Angel, weâre not doing anything special, just giving you the breakfast I promise youâ he said softly.
You took in a deep breath trying not to break down in tears.
âAnd donutsâ You chuckled looking over at the box surprised that Randyâs donuts was still in buisness âhow you even get these?â You asked as you pulled one out and threw it down the hall letting the little critters chase after it, you grabbed another one took a bite of it.
âThey expanded a lot and due deliveries now, had to argue with the guy about how I couldnât come out and grab the box and to just leave it on the porchâ Rich grumbled a bit before pulling a chair out for you.
You smiled happily and another bite out of your donut.
Might have took 13 years but you finally celebrated your first wedding anniversary.
âRichie?â You muttered lightly still between the realms of being awake and sleep, though you were starting to wake up more when you moved your hand and didnât feel the warm body of your husband Rich, You blinked your eyes a few times to get the sleep out before turning over and turn the lamp on,
Rich came out of the bathroom at the same time, dressed in his work blues and you couldnât help but make a face.
âYour supposed to be off todayâ
âI know Angelâ Rich spoke as he came over making sure his shirt look presentable âI got a call, a surprise load came in and the night crew needs a managerâ
You crossed your arms lightly âcanât they get someone else to watch over them?â You asked, You been waiting a whole year to celebrate your first wedding anniversary and may have bother Rich a bit to always make sure he had that day off.
âIt will only be for a few hours, when you wake up, Iâll be here with breakfast and those donuts from Randyâs you like so muchâ Rich spoke smiling softly, leaning down giving you a gentle kiss on the lips then on the forehead before turning off the lamp next to you.
âYou get some sleep angle and Iâll see you soonâ
***
Present day.
13 years after Richard was killed, 10 years after everyone went missing.
-
âHow the fuck were these things even approved!â You couldnât help but yell annoyed as you shot another flare when a small unicorn and chicken plushy started craving you way. Like what was cute about blank eyes and big grinning smiles that would be like nightmare fuel!
You sigh and gently rubbed your eyes to try and get them from being blurry having not slept in about what a day if you could remember correctly.
You let out a frustrated sigh as you heard more of those tiny animal squeaks as they came closer again. You could understand why Ollie found this place terrifying but to you it was starting to get annoying with all of the critters. You saw the wires you been fallowing lead to a button and you hope that
It would open it a door thus leading to a exist.
Ok so you were half right it did lead you somewhere, when you went down the stairs beyond the door and into a indoor swimming pool(they seriously had one?) You fallowed another pair of doors into something that definitely didnât look like a childâs place, your eyes gazed over the cell block area, a frown appearing on your lips as you remembered this was where Catnap-Theo was kept.
You took in a deep breath and slowly walked in, looking around as you went and frown as the inside of the cells, your nose twitching, smelling blood.
You walked by a door and almost jump out of your skin when you heard a voice spoke, a familiar voice.
âYouâŠYour Poppyâs Angelâ
You glance that way, eyes widening slowly as they looked over what appeared to be half of a Dogday costume, but knowing this place it was anything but that.
Your nose twitch a bit at the smell of blood coming from what was left of the Dogâs lower half.
âCome to save usâ The costume wheeze a bit ânothing left to save, not hereâŠâ
You frown upon hearing that and step a bit closer, eyes trailing over the mix of belts holding the character up.
âYour in catnapâs home,Angelâ
And there it was again, the nagging feeling in the back of your head, it been years since someone had called your Angel, the last one to do so was RichâŠ
You slowly felt your face stiffen and eyes slowly widening in horror a bit.
You could be wrong you really wish you were wrong but from the evidence you seen here and the videos you saw everything was singing a different tune.
You didnât have a open casket for Richâs funeral nore did you ever saw his body, you were only told that it was best for you to not see it, to remember Rich the way he was.
Your mind wander franticly trying to remember the last few days before Richâs death.
You remember being excited about your anniversary, double checking with Rich to make sure he gotten the day off even though he had assured you a millions time that he had.
You made dinner reservations for that day and you had went over to the calendar to write it down so neither of you could forget.
You remember seeing in red pen âPlayCare interviewâ written the day before Richâs death.
Oh sweet god.
You made a noise and step back away from the cell before bending over and promptly lost your lunch.
You tried to take in a few deep breaths only to end up coughing a bit.
âListen to me,you need to get out-â
âSay that againâ
His head move a bit, blank eyes covered by ears, now looking annoyingly (you pretty sure he was annoyed cause you were having a bit of a crisis during his speech). âYou need to leaveâ he spoke again, emphasize on the word leave.
You took in a deep breath and rubbed your temples âTrust me Iâve been trying since the moment I got here, IâŠI need you to say Angel againâ you spoke, a bit embarrassed upon the request, but you did have to make sure.
You heard him wheeze again, you were sure it was a chuckle,he looked at you annoyed(this time you were sure).
âAngelâ
You recognize that tone, the same tone Rich would you when you stared to get on his annoyed side.
âRich?â
Dogdayâs eyes widen (as much as they could since their eyes were already big )
And saw a peice of fabric start to move bring him, wagging like a tail.
âAngel?â He ask softly.
You took in a deep breath.
âFuckâ
(Hope you enjoy part 1, it might be a two or three parter)
These will definitely help for the next fic Iâm writting đ
To Save A DogDay
I couldn't help but write this after seeing the constant dedication of saving the giant toy doggo. So here's something to assist you guys in the effort. I've done some research(even though Google was being an ass) and took a look at this particular post by @dafloof
First off, DogDay is surprisingly big despite being cut in half. If I have to compare his size then think of those giant plushies you win from a theme park or carnival game. Thus the only possible carry for the average person to safely escort him is bridal or hanging off like a koala on the side due to the grab pack. He might be able to shrink himself to a more manageable size if DogDay is similar to CatNap in body structure.
Although that doesn't mean the task is impossible outside of adrenaline. DogDay may be big you got to think about his possible weight. Bigger Bodies are still toys with the Smiling Critters being plushies. How much of him is stuffing and not organs?
The necessary body parts for him to still be alive are the lungs, heart, brain, stomach, and some sort of skeletal structure. Here's a weight chart for the average human. (Although these might be smaller if harvested back as a child than an adult.)
Stomach: 2-4 pounds/lbs
Brain- 2.5 pounds/lbs
Heart- 0.25 pounds/lbs
Lungs- 1.8 pounds/lbs
Human Skeleton- 15-25 pounds/lbs
Average weight here 21.05 - 31.05 lbs. His arm bones might be reinforced similar to the Prototype but they still wouldn't be that heavy. For carrying in your arms, 35- 55 lbs is what the the untrained person can hold. Body weight contributes to how much someone can carry with a 139 lbs untrained woman being able to deadlift around 74 lbs. For men it is 125 lbs for 148 lbs.
Adrenaline can help contribute to this as there have been feats done by people in dangerous situations. One example being a human mother fighting off a polar bear to protect her kids or someone moving a car by themselves to get free. We can do insane things when it comes to survival.
There's also the mental side to this. Our brains actually diminish the perception of how strong we are by 40%. If you carry something you love or cherish like a person, then they can weigh less just from that viewpoint. Sometimes thinking like the Little Engine That Could will make a difference.
Now I am not forgetting the dangerous little critters. There are ways to deal with them and have enough time to bring DogDay along. In his cell, there are two ports they can crawl out of. Blocking these whether by flares or stuffing them with nearby items can do the trick.
Second is bribery. We aren't restricted to the environment like in the game and throughout the facility there are intact vending machines. The toys obviously need to eat but seem unable get into the machines. YOU CAN.
Break the glass and stockpile as much snacks as possible. Finding bags or boxes to carry them wouldn't be hard. Offer these to the little Critters in exchange for DogDay. You can open one bag for further incentive as the chance to get a special treat is something no one will be able to resist.
DogDay might be able to drag himself so breaking the chains with the Grab Pack or a different tool is possible. They are probably rusty thus easier to break. It will obviously hurt for DogDay to drag his body so stealing something like a cushion from CatNap's hideyhole could ease the pain.
Should that not be the case then other options are available. Considering Playcare is a fun house, you might be able to find scooterboards or a platform cart to carry him. If not then a makeshift sled to pull DogDay about is the next best move.
Now there's actually another escape route. A duck ride that you couldn't access in the game due to bugs. I think Mob was planning for a chase down there as it is fully fleshed out with puzzles and an environment.
DogDay can hold onto the boat while you solve the puzzles to get out. For those who hadn't chosen bribery then flares will keep pursuing Little Critters away. Maybe set a fire as you escape since there's plenty of items to make a molotov cocktail if crafty enough.
I suggest finding some walkie talkies as someone needs to look after DogDay. The area under the statue can be a possible safe spot but being able to contact Kissy Missy and Poppy will better the chances of his recovery than just survival. Both know the factory's inner works enough to remain hidden so they might know where to find supplies. A possible ally with valuable info can sway them to help.
There is also the option of coming back to Playcare. DogDay might still be alive as you can hear his muffled cries during the chase. He might be worse for wear due to the little menaces piloting him like a bootleg Megazord. Walkie talkies can help you page Kissy Missy to help with escorting the Bigger Body safely.
It is possible to save DogDay if you are smart or crafty enough to use the environment. The factory offers a lot of potential options to help with that. Do know that you can turn a simple water gun into a flamethrower.
Why follow the rules of the game when there are ways to break them?
