(do not ship my character)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Edit: sorry, I forgot to add the colorless ver. too)
Probably going to redesign, I didn't have a clear idea of how I wanted them to look like when I made this.
So basically, I had an idea one day for an artwork about Sun in a big dark room like lab with computers, science stuff... and plushies, toys, crayons, childlike drawings everywhere and in the middle of the room Sun was sitting there with cables conected to his head and going so high to the ceiling they desapeared in the dark.
Vague recreation of the idea (I used it as a warm up because artblock)
Tumblr media
And I was like, man what a cool idea.
...
what if it had lore?
And I made the story in two days and forgot about it.
I made THE STORY in two days, the concept art took me several and when it was finished I went 'OH FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT MOON' so I added him to the concept art... and to the story, which didn't change much but helped.
So the story lore whatever frankly idk:
Retrofuturistic world where Fazbear Entertainment is making experiments in animatronics with a sustance that makes inorganic components organic. Basically making the animatronics far more alive than they could ever have been (literally alive, like in a messed up way). Biological machines, for example: in the concept of Sun/Moon those teeth and eyes are pretty much real...
This would be called Biotecnologic, which is illegal to practice without a licence and state permision, and only for human benefit (prostetics for disable people for exsample). Fazbear Entertainment had to drop the project right the moment biotecnologi went illegal or they were going to jail. Which means now there are abandonet facilitys with a ton of disconected rotten animatronics... Except for one that turned back on for some reason...
Some time later, this idiot named Fern (selfinsert because idk how to do y/n so I toke my selfinsert and made a few changes, same name) who illegaly exited the city to illegaly dumspter dive in trash the goverment trows out of the city and into the nature outside (which prevents the world from healing right because they are dumb), went a little fared than they usually go and ended up finding the abandonet facilitys of Fazbear Entertainment. This idiot said 'haha cool :D' and went right inside. And that's how they met Sun (and Moon) who has amnesia and doesn't know why the place is empty or why this new person who knows nothing about is stealing lab equipament while intensely staring at him.
They got to be friends and started investigating the place trying to find out what happened in there before the project got canceled.
And a lot more but my brain is a little fried right now and it took me some effort to write this.
Feel free to ask me about this AU (I'll do my best to give a comprehensible answer).

BIOMáquina: Sense of Living
Chapter 1: Stranger danger.
Ver. [ENGLISH / ESPAÑOL]
The first meeting! In a world where humanity has confined themselves in encapsulated cities to let the outside world heal, our protagonist, Fern, breaks into the forgotten abandoment facility of Fazbear CO. in search for old materials and scrap to sell. But something's very off with this place, like the constant rotting smell that's in the air... (No, it's not Afton, there's no Afton in this AU, this is very DCA centered).
I have to mention, I never had the intention of writing this. But after I finished reading I see you, Sundrop! by @shirajellyfish (Thank you again @/cipher-the-sidhe for recommending it to me! I'm too shy to tag I want to cry EDIT: it's tagged now) I got motivated to write the first chapter of my AU and doing it my way. The early version of my BIOMáquina Sun may have some inspirations from ISYS's Sundrop, but I plan for him to develop by the end of the story into something more close to canon. Sassy, not the mean sassy tho.
I appreciate feedback about the english adaptation. I think I did fine but still, I'm not a native speaker, some parts may be weirdly worded. I'll be posting the Spanish version too, so you can judge my writing in two lenguages.
AU, DCA centered (but Moon doesn't get mentioned in this chapter) ...and mostly Sun centered too, Sun fnaf, OC, Selfinsert, Character & OC, platonic, friendship, slowburn (probably), OC is a potty mouth, Sun has amnesia, nonbinary/pangender Main Character, labs and abandonment facility, retrofuturistic world, steam/dieselpunk themed.
The first post where I showed this AU and Sun and Moon's designs. There's info about the world and characters, not necessary to enjoy the story but maybe you want an idea about this AU.
BIOMáquina AU Tumblr archive, with all the posts and asks.
Youtube Playlist wich has like half of Portal's ost. I have a especific order for the songs but you can put it on mix if you want.
Note: even though I try to keep things light some things may be triggering for some readers so I'm putting here the warnings just in case. Please tell me if it needs any additional tag.

06:23 Thursday, Weather: clear.
It's been a long time since anyone has been here. The place has been reclaimed by nature over time, not completely consumed but enough to assume that it has been around a decade without any humans moving around.
Until today.
A small hovercraft vehicle is approaching in the distance. Today, instead of their usual destination, Fern decided to take another route and explore a little. She heads to the building she has seen in the distance. The abandoned facilities of Fazbear CO. She shouldn't be snooping around an abandoned building, much less one that seems to have been totally forgotten by the world, but Fern already had experience in breaking into dangerous and abandoned places, so it was okay (no, it was not).
She looks at the place for a while before parking their vehicle. A thought of 'Why not?' incites them to enter, and that's what she does. After struggling with the entrance locks she manages to open the doors. It looks like an automatic door but with a manual system for when the power is out, it's a pretty old design. The door stays open.
06:39
Fern enters inside, it's all dark, the only light being the one that comes through the door. She always carries their backpack loaded with all the basics she needs for when he goes out for materials (trash) or exploration (for more trash). She takes out a flashlight and inspects the place. She notices that next to them is an old robot disconnected and degraded by the passage of time, possibly unable to turn back on. It seems that this bot was in charge of guarding the entrance.
Advancing through the abandoned facility, Fern finds more disconnected bots. She's not with the right equipment to dismantle them and take their valuable parts, if there is anything salvageable from these robots. She makes mental notes and keeps going. The place is worse on the inside than the outside, somehow the dirt and weeds have managed to get in and grow in the most random places.
She finds a guide map of the place, it appears to be larger on the inside than it looks from the outside, much larger than one would expect. There are four upper floors and six lower ones, the upper floors makes a circumference leaving an empty space in the center, they are factory and assembly areas for bots/animatronics, tools, electronic devices... all equipment from the Fazbear brand, they have always made their own material. On the ground floor (L0) where Fern is, it seems to be the unloading area, cargo transport vehicles, offices and power generator on the upper floors. The first two lower floors appear to be more offices, boiler room, power generator room for the lower floors, laboratories, and... another animatronic assembly area.
...The last four floors are blurred out but you can read the words 'AI testing'. Did the test rooms have to be that far down? And why 4 entire floors of the building?
There is an annotation:
Authorized personnel only. Any unauthorized personnel who passes from the restricted area will be subject to a dismissal sanction.
Oho... now Fern wanted to go in there. Why would they hide that part? What do they have to hide? Knowing the company Fazbear Entertainment, a lot. It would be cool to be one of the few people to know what's down there, even if it remains as secret as before because Fern doesn't want to be reported or arrested, leaving the city without permission is already a reason for that. But before going to the deeper floors, better take a quick look at the upper ones first, their nature makes them want to keep an order to explore the place in the most efficient way (that she can think of).
As the map said, everything up there is material and assembly, some rooms even have narrow windows that let in some light through their gaps at the top of the wall... where you can't look outside, but at least they had some natural light in their work areas, those who worked up here at least... Fern looks around, it's a mess, there are papers and metals scattered on the floor... It seems that some of them left in a hurry, due to the misplaced chairs and tables... Fern makes a mental note to stop by again and take a better look at the old tools before heading home.
Hm? The central area hasn't been seen. Fern assumed that the part surrounded by the building would be visible from a window or that there would be an entrance to a flat area, but there appears to be none. Why would they waste so much space? Or maybe they weren't wasting it. Maybe there was something else there but it was inaccessible from the surface floors.
Fern didn't waste another moment to get down to the lower levels. The power generators seemed out of order, she wasn't going to be able to use the elevators. She wasn't planning on it either, They may possibly collapse over the time they have been sitting there without maintenance. What she planned was to save flashlight power if the generator could light the way. Oh well. Maybe the other generator on the lower floors is still functional.
...
It's not. Well, she had to try it. Fern would have felt stupid if the generator would had worked and by simply not checking she would have wasted the flashlight battery foolishly. Exploring the floor a bit more before continuing down she finds a small kitchen room. Oh? Was there a kitchen on the map? Fern doesn't remember, she should have taken a photo of the map now that she stops to think about it. There should be at least one map on each floor, she'll take a photo of the next one she sees.
Going down the stairs she finds the assembly rooms and laboratory that seems more advanced than the upper levels. These looks a little less messy than the previous floors. It's still noticeable that people left in a hurry, leaving the chairs and tables in any position and dropping objects along the way, but it seems that at least they cared about storing hazardous materials in the closets, all messy but at least not exposed... some doors aren't even closed properly- look, I'd better shut up and continue.
07:12
She finally reaches the end of the floor. There are no more stairs, just an elevator that takes to the restricted area (floors: L3, L4, L5 and L6), which means she needs the generator running... or... she can force their way through the elevator doors with a crowbar... opening the emergency hatch... and slipping through the gap between the elevator and the wall, which is conveniently one of those old-fashioned designs with bar steps on the wall (Nowadays these spaces are not left unless the elevator is very large and/or has been built with plenty of space). She goes down the wall stairs to the next floor which is also closed, so she has to force the elevator's security doors again. This time it's more complicated, she has to force the door without having a supporting floor since all there is is the circular wall, the beams that support the elevator structure and the void of the pit. Fern hangs from a beam near the door, digs the crowbar between the two doors with their feet, presses against the crowbar using their legs, and pushes their way through. After opening the doors enough, the crowbar slips from between their feet and falls into the pit. Fern watches as it falls, pressing their lips, and waits for the *clinggg* sound it makes when it reaches the bottom, '...hhhhhah, I'll have to go down for it later' she thinks.
After forcing the door a little more with their hands, just enough to pass through, she is finally inside, on level L3. Oh! And the first thing she sees is a complete map, good! She can take a photo with their phone so she won't get lost. From what it seems, this map reveals that there is indeed a central area of the facilities in use. For some reason to access the center of the building you have to go down to the deepest floors and from another elevator go up to the central area... weird. The design of the facility seems made to keep something as far away from the outside as possible, with all these turns and different elevators that they make you take to get to a place that would be so easy to access if only they had put one or two doors in the ground floor or upper. There was definitely something there, Fern had no doubt, maybe she was theorizing too much and it was just a strange design choice, but what a strange design choice, there is something there for sure and Fern was going there.
According to the map, the four lowest floors contain... a good bunch of animatronic storage cells, wow. Wait, now that she stops to take a closer look, that's a lot of cells. There are three or four larger rooms compared to the rest, 'daycare', it says. ...Fern didn't like the implications of that, she didn't like seeing the cells, daycares and laboratories so close to each other. If this is what's in the first restricted floors to the unauthorized, what could be deeper? For God's sake, what did they do with the children?
Fazbear Entertainment's animatronics were made specifically to deal with children despite their questionable AI performance. The daycares could have been to test how the animatronics behave with real children, okay, but why three entire daycares on the same floor? And there are at least two more on the floor above. It would be better understood if there were only assembly and repair rooms next to the cells, but laboratories... right in front of the daycares? Shady, very shady. Don't like it, don't like it a bit.
The lower floors are more littered with broken robots than the ones above. Somehow the place is more in ruins than the surface floors, which are more exposed to the outside. But the doors seem to have higher security with card readers, some broken, not all but they seem to be able to open. Going down the stairs to the L4th floor she began to see a different bot design half-assembled, this could be an animatronic design they were working on. On this floor she only sees half-assembled endoskeleton pieces and blueprints for said robot along with promotional posters of a daycare mascot... with a... Sun...? theme. Orange, yellow and red shades.
Fern approaches one of the blueprints, 'DaCaAtt/ProtoType_Model_N15', the N15 has been underlined several times in red and there are notes all over the blueprints. It's... a clown animatronic- rather a jester, with an astral theme? The head seems to represent a sun with the right half of its face being a crescent moon, as in those representations of the sun and the moon together, the moon looking sideways and the sun facing the front... only that, here it's like they have merged two faces into one, leaving the nose crooked to the side. All the unfinished endoskeletons seem to belong to this model. It is a somewhat extra complicated design, it has a lot of joints, especially in the face, seems like they wanted to go further with this design.
It seemed a little much to Fern for a children's animatronic daycare attendant. She understood that they were trying to make him look like the friendly mascot on the poster, but Fern could come up with a couple of ideas to simplify the design of the face: a screen with facial animations, for example. And why so much complexity in the robots interior? The more she looked at the blueprints, the more it seemed to them that she was looking at a disproportionate recreation of the human skeleton in metal. She continued advancing through the facilities until she found the next stairs to floor L5.
...At the bottom of the flight of stairs is a disconnected animatronic- rather broken, it's the sun. It seemed to be crawling up the stairs... its legs and the back of its head were busted, as if they had tried to stop it from going any further by hitting it with something. Peeking through the hallways, Fern finds more sun animatronics lying on the way or against the wall, damaged, some are whole, others missing chunks or entire limbs. She touches one of the robot bodies with their foot, it doesn't move, as expected. There is a gray cord and a piece of plastic sticking out from under the animatronic's hand, Fern uses their foot again to pull the cord out from under the hand. It's a torn, stained and mauled ID card, the string is broken as if it had been torn from something, neither the photo nor the name of the former owner can be identified. It's Fern's now. She should keep their eyes open in case of seeing more cards in better condition, if she can get the generators working she could open their way to more places. If they were to be useful.
Moving down the hallway she stops to look at the poses in which the animatronics were turned off; some of them have their faces intact enough to see an expression of terror them. None of them seemed to be going in a specific direction, just... running away. They were afraid. How advanced was their AI to simulate fear? Weren't they prototypes? No developed AI is put into robot prototypes, although well, that is a recent norm in robotics, who knows how old this place is.
Now that she realizes, there is a fairly dominant smell in the air since she came down the elevator. Fern thought it came from the labs and assembly rooms, because of the old metals and chemicals, but it has gotten stronger as she goes. Like something rotten mixed with rust and motor oil.
Fern is starting to think that she would like a friend to explore this place with. The deeper she goes, the more uneasy the place gets, and the more noticeable is the lack of fresh air.
She checks out the map, from the path she has taken it seems that she is approaching one of the daycares. Where the entrance should be there is a handful of sun animatronics in a pile blocking the door that's full of scratches and bumps. It seems that they tried to force it open, you can see the desperation in the wear and tear on their hands.
Hopelessness.
It's the word that best fits seeing this situation.
Fern feels a chill run down their spine and their stomach turns. She continues forward. More animatronic bodies disconnected or destroyed, there were almost no animatronics in the storage cells, they had all tried to escape. Upon reaching the floor L6, the number of robot bodies lying around seems to decrease. It seems that they were all already stored in their chambers, or they managed to get them in and disconect them before panic set in... or revealed themselves. No, this didn't look like robot rebellion. Maybe they found out something, a rumor that got out of hand? Maybe they found out that they were going to disconnect them forever and they panicked... Fern wouldn't blame them.
Peeking through the glass of one of the cells she could see a group of sun animatronics, all in their respective cabins on the wall, connected by a head cable. Some are standing leaning against one of the walls of their cabin, have a safety belt holding them in place, others are sitting on a seat in the cabin, and others are directly sitting on the floor. They are disconnected, turned off, obviously. The floor is padded with colorful sections and there are old pillows and stuffed animals on the floor. The rest of the chambers are the same, some with empty spaces. The number of animatronics lying on the floor in panic positions is less, rather they are sitting against the wall or simply lying on the floor in a more peaceful way. They either gave up or were somehow convinced to shut down.
07:38
Finally Fern reaches the elevator that takes you to the center of the facility. This elevator is more hidden than the rest and appears to be more advanced, Fern didn't seem to know if it was going to be as easy to open as the rest... ah- wait- their crowbar. She has forgotten to go look for their crowbar, which is at the bottom of the second elevator's pit... and to go look for it she would have to go back upstairs and down the stairs of the pit because she can't open the doors from the lowest floor as she had planned because she doesn't have their crowbar.
Fern.
You're stupid, man.
“Aaaaaggh...” she groans, looking up to the ceiling. She sighs. Before leaving the room she looks around to see if there is anything that could be used to force the doors and their eyes fall on the elevator again, it has a light. Wait, it has light? It can't be, the generators don't work. Unless there is a third generator for this elevator... She approaches the button panel, indeed, the lights above glow slightly, but how is it functioning? The entire place should be shut down. She decides to press the button just to try it out and a few seconds later the doors open, the light from inside illuminating the room along with Fern's flashlight.
Even though it seems to work, Fern didn't like the idea of using it. The elevator that took her to the lower floors was as dangerous as the others but at least she didn't had to use it to get down (Although it could have perfectly fallen as soon as you stepped foot inside, you idiot), but this one she was going to have to use it to open the doors to the next floor unless she finds something to use as a crowbar. However, this elevator did seem to be in better condition than the other. Maybe if she only made it go up one floor she could access the rest of the place from there.
Fern walks into the elevator. The floors available from bottom to top are: L6, LC2, LC1, C0, C1, C2, C3 and C4, there are no Lows 5, 4 and 3, C it'll be for “Center” just as L is for “Low”. She hesitates before pressing the button for LC2, a few seconds and the doors close, the elevator makes some screeching noises as machinery that hasn't moved for a long time starts working again until it suddenly begins to ascend. It moves non-stop, the noise it makes is worrying but it doesn't stop. As fast as the doors open, Fern crosses them and turns to the elevator, waiting for it to collapse and fall back to the bottom. It doesn't, the doors just close after a few seconds. If while she's at another part of the building she hears a crash noise in the distance, Fern will assume that the elevator has fallen and therefore will have to look for something that can be used as a crowbar.
For some reason there's no map of this part of the facility. There has always been one right out of the elevator or down the stairs, but this place doesn't have one. Weird, maybe all the employees in this area had their own? Or they knew it by heart. No, the first thing makes more sense.
Moving through the hallways, laboratory rooms, assembly rooms, etc, the floors seem to be the same as those already visited, but more advanced? The walls and doors are of higher quality and security, and the laboratory equipment, tools and others seem to be of the good-good ones... and expensive, but good, and quality. The central floors seem to be the only ones with electricity, partially, not all the lights are on and some of the ones that are are blinking. 'I hope none explode-' she thought to themselves. Immediately afterwards, a security door begins to open and close uncontrollably, giving Fern a start “AH-!” After the scare she takes a breath while the door begins to move slower and finally stops halfway open. The doors here must have a sensor or something, it must have been activated by proximity, is the card still functional? She takes it out of their pocket and passes it near the door trying to find the sensor. The door reacts but doesn't close or open completely.
Fern grabs one of the disconnected 'Staff' bots down the hallway and drags it to the door, blocking it in case it moves again and gets locked inside. It's an archive office, there are papers and file cabinets scattered on the floor. A ceiling panel fell on some filing cabinets and knocked everything to the floor. Fern glances vaguely over them, some papers seem to be records of laboratory materials and ingredients. Emphasizes, seems, because Fern doesn't understand the technical and convoluted language in which they are written, whoever worked here the guy's writing was embarrassing, they keep repeating the same elements all over the page in horrible handwriting. She doesn't see anything of value in the office so she leaves to continue moving through the maze of poorly iluminated hallways and malfunctioning doors.
08:10
Fern has been wandering around the facilities for quite a while now. Most of the doors are bolted shut and can't be opened (if a certain someone had gone back a few floors to get their crowbar...), next time Fern comes she'll bring suitable spare tools to open them. Although, is it worth going that far to get some pieces of metal? With what's on the first floors should be enough to renew tools and equipment, and make a good profit in the market. She wasn't into science so she didn't know what valuable objects she could take from the labs. She could look into it later, when she's done looking into what's here first.
The closer she gets to the center, the more the hallways light up, to the point that Fern no longer needs her flashlight and turns it off, for now. There are liquids running down the walls and dripping from cracks in the ceiling. Curiously, there are fewer marks of humidity than one would imagine; the leaks did not form long ago. The doors here seem to be in better condition than the ones before, possibly they are more complicated to open if this area has electricity and they are working better than the one before. She might have to see if she finds any more abandoned cards lying around.
This area is more open... and the wall appears to curve. There is a... castle door?? Like the ones you would see in cartoons or children's tales, with a crown of sunrays as the door frame. It's not made of wood, but it is some kind of hard material that Fern can't identify. There is a card reader panel next to the frame. A light comes out from between the doors crack.
...
Is this the center?
Fern grabs one of the door handles and pulls it. She hears a sound like rails moving inside as she opens the doors. What's on the other side has to be the strangest, largest room she's seen since she entered the building. Most of the floor is padded and colorful except for the entrance and a few more square meters of flooring which is tiled in a checkerboard pattern. Where there floor is tiled, there are security tables with computers, machines of some kind and office supplies. Where the floor is padded there are children's playground structures, jungle gyms, with tubes, slides, ball pits... Above the ball pit there's a fairy-tale like tower on the wall with a balcony, red curtains cover the entrance. No idea how to get there, there must be access from somewhere else. On the floor there're boxes of toys and stuffed animals... broken, but organized by size and color, it seems, some colorful cylindrical boxes are placed in a tower. Only what's on the play area seems tidy, everything beyond the padded floor is noticeably dirty, messy, basically a mess. The ceiling lights seem to come out of beams and are shaped like clouds, not all of them are on, some flicker. At the center of it all is a tower of cables that rises until it's lost above the lights in the darkness of the ceiling.
Fern enters the room, still observing the place. Although the gigantic column of cables and tubes in the center catches their attention, their interest falls on the computers next to them. The screens are on but they don't show anything, just a solid cyan blue color and some horizontal lines crossing the screen every now and then. The computers may be broken but there could be a possibility to repair them or take out the parts and put them to use... or even sell them as antiques.
...
Fern feels watched. She looks up from the machines to the play structures. A screech of moving rails. She sees nothing. She leaves the computers aside and approaches the play area. Another rail sound. Fern turns to look at where the sound came from. Behind the cable tower. Fern takes out a jackknife from their pocket and proceeds to circle the tower. Another screech. Accompanied by another noise coming from the ball pit. Fern approaches. There is a row of cables coming out of the tower and entering the pit. Uuuum, ok...?? weird... She steps on the bridge that comes out of the pit, without entering she leans to looks over it.
It could have just been a rat but Fern tried calling “Is anyone there?” knife in hand “Hello-?”
“HeEEEL-” A tall, disproportionate, slim figure suddenly emerges from the ball pit accompanied by the tinkling of bells, sending several balls flying, creating a rain around it, some balls falling out of the pit. It's arms extended in the air in salutation and a huge smile on it's face with crooked teeth. Some 'sunrays' in the shape of elongated orange triangles stuck out around it's head. “-LO!” A sun animatronic.
“AAAH-!” Fern screamed, backing up. The robot froze in the pose and the noises of a processor running could be heard, smile not leaving it's face, white eyes fixed on Fern, it only made a couple of movements that stopped abruptly halfway through as if it had paused and resumed its animation. It must not have registered their reaction, because it continued talking as if Fern hadn't screamed in shock.
“-N-new friend-? Oh-o-OH- Are you new-?! FRIE-NEW FRI-” *SCRRRR SCRRA SCRRRGGGH KKKKRRR* It froze again while something in his internal system made a noise that sounded like 'something's wrong' and it continued again as if nothing had happened “Who are you-?! I can't find your profile-! -Do you have a profile??? Have you come to play!? Have you come for the manteinence routin-? Are you a new technic-!? Can we play NOW!? We can-! You're not on the employee register-! You need a register-!”
Its arms were stretching out towards Fern trying to reach her. Fern backed away, trying to keep as much space as possible between them and the robot. It kept getting closer, without stopping smiling, without stopping penetrating them with its gaze, without blinking.
“-profile- you need a-! You cannot perform any procedures- or manipulate- any- *srsrsrrsrsrsrsrsrrckrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrk* fromtheFAzbear'sbrand- *krkrkrkrkrkrnnnnnnnnnnrr* Do I make you a profile!? You need a-” Its fan started to sound very loudly “How were you able to enter- without a profile-!??? Do you work here? How did you get in-!? What are you doing here-!?” Fern hit her back against the cable tower and raised their knife to put distance between the damaged robot and them “DETECTED: DANGEROUS OBJECT, IS THAT A WEAPON!? *VRRRRRRRRR*” A panicked expression replaced its smile, its fan getting louder and louder “YOU CAN'T BRING THAT HERE! YOU CA- YOU CAN'T- YOU- *krkrkrkrkrkr* THE RUL- *krkrkrNNNNNNNNNGGGH* AG-AGAINST TH- *NNNNNNNNNGNNGNGGNGN-* DAN-GRROS-” It stopped forming coherent sentences and began to blurt out half-cut words amid the noise of the processor overheating.
Despite the clear problems it was experiencing, its movements didn't stop, getting closer and closer. A robotic hand reached out to grab Fern's arm, planning to take the weapon from her. Fern waved their knife away from its hand and finally broke into a run.
“AH-! eeeh-eh-e...! WAIT” The sun shouted as Fern fled towards the doors “Why are you running!? Where are you going-!? NO- WAIT- waitwaitwaitwait!” It ran after them. Fern left the play area and rushed through the doors. “WAIT-come back- I'm so...” She crossed the hallways like a bullet, ignoring the screams that became progressively quieter. She didn't realize she had left it behind until she could no longer hear it and the hallways were dark again.
Fern finally stopped to catch their breath, looking back to make sure she had left it behind. Vocalizing between pants “What... th...e fuck...? ...what...the fuck? God... what the... shit was... that...?” She sat down against a wall to rest. She hadn't realized that she had been gripping the knife tightly in their hand and now it was a little sore, if it weren't for the gloves she would have seen their knuckles white.
08:48
It's been a while. After calming down and drinking some water, Fern decides to go back to see what is happening with the sun and why it's the only active animatronic (seen so far) in the whole place. Thinking about it, it surely didn't want to scare them, possibly. It has been abandoned here for a long time, it's normal for it to be damaged. If its processor is salvageable and its AI gets a fix or two she could use it for help. But if that were the case, what should she do? She can't leave a robot with autonomy abandoned, much less in these ruins, part of Fern would feel bad but she can't take it with them. Where would she put it? Where would she take it?
That seems like a problem for future Fern.
It will be best to keep the knife, and possibly any type of weapon away. There was a lot of movement and noise at that moment but Fern believes she remembers a slight change in the robot's behavior when it discovered the knife. More erratic, more anxious, it couldn't even formulate complete words. Maybe if she went calmly and manages to calm the robot down, she could talk to it and find out what happened here. And why it is active.
She's arriving at the castle-like doors again. They're open, just like Fern left them. The robot could have gotten out and be hanging around the building, but something was telling Fern that wasn't the case. Slowly, without making a sound, she approaches the doors and peeps from the entrance, their eyes scan the room but don'tt find the sun. Fern decides to go in, thinks about calling it but backs away when she hears the screak and the rails again. If that sound came from it then it was still here.
...
Fern decides to go into the room. She wanted to prove a theory and for that she needed it to appear, and something was telling them that if she stayed at the door it wasn't going to appear. She puts one foot on the padded floor. Nothing's heard. She goes further into the playing area, the loose cables that entered the ball pit are no longer there, possibly they are connected to the robot so the logical thing would be to look for where they've gone. Starting from the central tower, the cables seem to go behind the play structure, Fern approaches to follow the line of cables.
*creeek*
A squeak. Fern turns around. Another screech. It came from the tower. Looking around she notices that the cables comes out of the play structure and disappear behind the tower. Fern approaches, circling the tower slowly, cautiously, following the cables. A metallic hand grabs their shoulder. “You are... here...”
“AACK-!” Fern screamed as she jerked the hand off their shoulder and ran towards the doors.
“No, wait, not again!” Fern leaves the room and turns to look inside holding the doors, ready to close them. But it seems it won't be necessary.
The robot has not moved past the padded floor. It looks at the tiled floor in front of them with concern, its posture is hunched as if it doesn't know what to do from that point or something bad will happen if it steps on a tile. Its arms curled against its chest, it clutches the red ribbons hanging from its wrists. Its eyes alternating between looking at Fern and the ground until it finally decides to speak.
“a...a-...y- You are here!” It says with joy, extending its arms and putting on a smile again, forced... no, genuine? “You are here again! ...a- I-I- was- you- *skrrrrrrrrr kr kr kr* You're back! And you are here and you are back and I thought you wouldn't come back and-!” it gesticulates very widely “-and-and- I'm sorry- sorry I scared you- TWICE!” emphasizes by pulling out two fingers of its hand “I'm sorry... it's just that- I haven't seen anyone in a long time! Or talked to someone! Or touched! And I was SO EXCITED! B-because you were there! And I touched you! And you were there! And I-! *skr...skr...skr...skr...* And I thought you weren't coming back! ...I thought you weren't going to come back.” Its shoulders droop and its body loses all movement, it stares at the ground, muttering. “And then I thought I scared away my new friend and they weren't coming back. But then I heard footsteps! And I felt something! And it was you! And I'm so happy! *sKNNNGNGnnn...*” It stands still again, with a somewhat creepy smile and its gaze fixed on Fern.
Fern remained silent. She doesn't really know how to react after having heard all that. The only thing that was going through their mind was that this robot showed autonomy and clear signs of stress, anxiety and loneliness. She can't leave it here but she also doesn't know if they could be dangerous or if it's just very hyperactive. They are clearly disturbed. Now that Fern noticed, one hand was more skeletal than the other, the entire casing of its left arm was missing and the ribbon was tied poorly with its bell. Parts of its endoskeleton were exposed, their casing was damaged in many places, and their jester's clothes were not much better either. The red and yellow striped pants were torn, the left leg open by a gap that ran from the bottom to top, an adhesive tape near the groin prevented the gap from spreading further, it appeared that the pants were held in place by a belt that didn't belong to the costume. The cables coming from the central tower and scattered across the floor seemed to end at the back of his head.
The sun began to look nervously between Fern and the floor again “H-ey- a- cou... c-could you come closer?” Its posture shrinks again, hands against its chest.
“...What?”
“Could you come closer? P-p-please?”
“...” Fern glances at the floor, at the robot's feet, and then at them “...You can't step on the tiled floor, can you?” The sun lost its smile and looked down at the ground, after a few seconds they nodded its head.
It looked back at Fern “I...can't. I-it's off limits. I can't." The forced smile returned “B-but you can come closer, could you come closer? Please…?”
“No.” Fern truly wasn't planning on doing so.
“Ack-! *knnnnnnnnn skrskrskrskr* W-w-w-why?!?”
“I'm just fine here, I think I'm going to stay at the door.” She said as she let go of the handles and sat on the floor crossing their legs “Besides, I don't want you grabbing me again.”
“I didn't grab you! I didn't!” They made a gesture with its hand, replicating the motion they made when they touched Fern earlier “I only touched your shoulder! I placed my hand on your shoulder!” Did it really only placed its hand on their shoulder? It happened not long ago, Fern remembers feeling more pressure than necessary. She could still feel the metal fingers digging into their right shoulder.
“Yeah... I don't remember it that way.” Fern put their hand on their shoulder “You've been trying to get your hands on me ever since you saw me.” The sun was about to open its mouth to say something but they backed out *kknnnnnnnnnnn* it seemed to be thinking in what to respond, it looked tense. Fern was also thinking about what she could do to calm them down so she could get closer, but it seemed that at the slightest chance she'll have it near it was going to pounce on them (And for your information, Fern, your attitude isn't helping either).
“You shouldn't sit on the floor.” the sun said.
“Eh?”
“*skr skr* I-it's not good *skrrr* that you're sitting on the floor. You're go-o-oing to hurt yourself, why don't you *skrrrrrrrr* sit here in the play area? The floor is softer, that would be better...” Fern frowned at them “O-o-or-” The sun looked around, pointed to the desks where Fern was looking at the computers earlier “-you could use one of the office chairs, where the security desks!” It smiled, its smile seemed more sincere this time “You don't have authorization to be there! But...” It glanced nervously at the chairs, then at Fern “It won't hurt to use it for a bit! Until the security guards come... But I won't tell anyone! Word!” It held up its hand as a promise gesture “Just, don't touch anything... they get really angry when people touch something, and then they yell at me...”
“No, I'm fine, thank you.” That chair was worse than the floor, and Fern didn't want to move away from the door. A *skrrrrrrrrrnnnnnn knnn knnn krkrkrkr* was heard from the robot, she didn't like that. The sun started looking between Fern and the chair again, finally ended up staring at the floor. The way it let its 'rays' fall was reminiscent of the ears of a saddened animal “...” “Hey.”
“Huh?” It raised its 'rays' again expectantly.
“Why don't you sit down? ...so we are both sitting.” Fern said trying to make the situation less awkward. It occurred to them that if they were both at the same height it would ease the atmosphere a little.
“...I don't need to- *Knnnnnnn skrskr* ...-Okay! Yeah, yes, okay...” It slowly knelt on the floor. It looked at Fern and then returned its gaze to the floor. “...” “I'm sorry...” It apologized again “I'm sorry, I know I scared you and that you don't trust me and I'm sorry, I'm very sorry.” It clenched the fabric of the pants where the scuff marks met with its fingers, its shoulders shrinked “...Please don't go.”
“Nah, I'm too lazy to get up now.” She said in another attempt to convince him she was staying to reassure him.
“Please don't go…” It repeated. They sounded like they were about to cry.
“... I'm not going anywhere.” She tried again, leaning back and supporting their weight on their hands. “...Word.” Fern imitated the hand gesture the robot made earlier, as a promise.
*Knnnnnnnnnnn* The sun stared at Fern's hand, then at them. “Are... you're staying?”
“Yes, I'm staying.” Fern looked to the side, thinking. She looked back at the robot “...For a while. Until I have to leave.”
“*knnnnnnn* When will you leave?”
“Eh... possibly within a few hours. So... yeah, we can talk.” (For my mother's love Fern, my child, you sweet summer child, more cheer.)
*skr- skr- skr- knnnnnnn* The sun seemed to be processing the information. Fern looked at them expecting them to start talking at any moment.
...There was silence for a minute. Fern decided to speak.
“So what's your name?”
“What's your name?” They said practically at the same time.
“Ah-”
“Oh- *skr skr skr*.”
Fern gestured for them to start first.
“I- a- *knnnnnn knnnnn knnnnn knnnnn* n-no, you can go first!” The robot said, with a constant *knnnnn* sound.
“Um, okay. My name's Fern, you?”
A *kr kr* interrupted the previous sound and only *knnnnnnn* could be heard again. It was silent for a bit. Then it decided to speak “Fern! Oh, that's a very nice name! It fits you, yes... *sk sk knnnnnn* Hey, hey, Fern...! What do you like to do-? What do you like to play? Your favorite color-?!”
“Hold on, hold on! Are you going to tell me your name or am I going to be left without knowing?”
“Um... *skr skr skr* one... *knnnnnnnn* one moment-” Again that *knnnnn*, another minute in silence “...” “Oh! Hey, hey! Do you like puppet shows? I'm very good at making them! Or I can teach you how to make puppets if you want-!”
“What I would like is knowing what to call you. Don't... you know it's rude to ask someone's name and then not introduce yourself?” She said trying to pressure them into saying its name.
“Oh! *skr skr* My name! *skr* Yes, my name!”
“...”
“...”
“...”
“*skr... skr... skr... skr... skr...*”
“E-”
“Do you like painting?! I can get some paints and papers and we can paint together-!
“Your name! How can I call you?”
“Oh-! ah... You can call me whatever you want!” They said as it adjusted its posture, sitting crossing its legs like Fern “You can use a nickname, or nicknames! If you like, I love nicknames! Do you like nicknames? Do you want a nickname? Do I give you a nickname-?! Okay!” They put its hand on its chin, thinking “Let's see...”
“You don't know your name, do you?”
“ng... *sknnnnnnnnnn*” Its head twitched and it froze in the posture looking to the side. Some fans began to make sound “nn... i...k...kno...i... I-I-I- I know! It's- It's here! Here! In my sys-! *skgghghrghrghrrrr* -TEeem... eh... ah...” It looked confused, its eyes move as if it was reading something in the air “I...” Its shoulders slump in disappointment, whatever it was searching for in its system they couldn't seem to find it “I can't...” murmurs.
“...Can you tell me your code? The name of your model I mean.”
*skgkg-* “...” “I cannot give that type of information to unauthorized personnel or not employed by Fazbear Entertainent.” It said in a monotone voice. “...” “It makes no sense as a name anyways,” it laughed “it's boring and hard to pronounce.”
“Don't you have a name they used to call you by here?”
“Um...” It's fans started up again.
“...” Fern remembers seeing something written on the posters she saw earlier, something about sun...drop? She looked around. Those same posters were here too, on the walls and desks along with others that seemed more outdated. 'Sunnydrop', said the posters, although it seems more like the name of the candy they promote. “Eh.”
“Hm?”
“What if I called you 'Sun'? For short, for the moment. Like a short version of the poster over there.” Fern said, pointing with their head and thumb. “And 'cause, well... it's literally the shape of your head... it's not very original but...” (I'm not pronouncing that whole name every time I want to refer to you.) “I don't know, how about it?”
It looks between Fern and the poster until it smiles and nods its head vividly “Okay, yeah! Call me Sun!” It looks happy with the idea. The fans and noise of its processor have reduced. Fern already has a name for the sun animatronic, Sun, ironically. “I like it! Oh, I like the nickname you gave me!” Its 'rays' make a spin around its head followed by some *clicks* and *tics*, was that to express happiness?
“Hey.”
“Yes, friend!? Uh-Oh! Is it okay if I call you friend?” It seemed nervous again. Fern was going to have to be extremely careful talking to Sun if at the slightest it'll get upset over something like calling them 'friend' instead of using their name.
“Yeah, sure, call me whatever you want. Hey, how long have you been here?” Possibly not the best question to start with but Fern had many questions about this place and especially about Sun.
“For-! Uh... *knnnnnnnn skr skr skr skr* since... *kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr* uhhh...*skr skr skr srk*”
“Okay, stop stop.” After a few moments Sun stopped as instructed, along with the processor's noise, and looked at Fern with curiosity and a feeling of having done something wrong. “Let's see. How long... have you been On? Since the last time you started up again.”
“Oh! I can anwser that! *knnn krkr kr skr...* Four...thousand *skr skr kr-* two...hun...dred ninety...-EIGHT! Days. Since my last reboot... Ah- no- well... since my last hard reboot. I don't really need to shutdown but sometimes I need restarts... Be a few minutes (or hours) 'off '. Oh, but since then I've been fine! Working perf-*skgrah*-ectly! *skr*.” It swung its fist to the side with energy and a smile, ignoring the distress call from its system.
“...Yeah. And those noises that are constantly coming out of you? They don't sound very good, to say the least.” She's right.
“I've already fix-! *skgrr-* I've already fixed it! S-sometimes it happens and I don't realize it, but I always fix it!” “...” “I-I know you were a little scared before! And-and that- And that I acted weird! I...I know! I'm sorry... But that's it! I'm functioning perfectly!” It swung its fist again, this time with less enthusiasm “...Seriously...”
Fern looked at Sun thoughtfully “Back... in the ball pit. The noises were much worse and constant, and you froze with every movement or at mid-word. Does it happen to you often? I am no expert!” Fern held up their hands in excuse “But I wouldn't call that 'functioning perfectly'.”
“I-I- said I already fixed it! *skrgggrggrgr- kr kr*” There it was again.
“It's getting worrying, you know?” If it wasn't already before.
Sun waved its hand in denial “Nothin'nothin'nothin'-! *skrrr* It's nothing, it's nothing! *kr kr*” It repeated over and over between loud processor noises, the more it panicked, the longer the noises became “that that that! Dasit-! That's it! *skr krr-* There! *skrrrrr- kr- kr- kr-* Now, it's-! *sknnnnnnnnn skrGRRRrrAH* IT'S ENOUGH!” Its fans were starting up again along with the noise at an alarming rate. Sun started to make a sound that resembled hyperventilating. By panicking, it was asking too much of the internal system and it became destabilized (Hey Fern, the part about being careful with what you say, no, huh?).
“Okay! Okay, calm down. It's okay.” Fern sat forward raising their hands, still kneeling on the floor. Sun looked at them as it tangled its hands together. “It's okay...” She tried to think quickly what to say “You said that you had been... like four thousand or so days On.”
“*Skr skr* ...Four thousand two hundred and ninety-eight...*skgr*” It frowned at that last noise.
“Four thousand two hundred and ninety-eight days, okay. And in all that time, have you seen anyone else besides me? Have you received maintenance or any messages from them?”
Its expression shifted to a bewildered look at Fern. It started playing with the ribbons on its wrists “No... No, but-” It tried to show a smile again “-but it's okay, I've been taking care of myself a lot-lot-lot-! And I have been very careful! And I've paid attention to the alerts! And then they won't have much work ahead of them...! For... when they come back...” “...” “They're taking their time. They're...-they're taking a long time to come back.” It started rocking on the spot, back and forth “But it's fine! Because when they come back-*skrgrgrhs* when they come back- I'll-! *skrgr* I've been behaving well! I've been behaving very well.” It suddenly lowered its tone of voice. It looked at the floor while its hands still played with the ribbons, tangling them between its fingers. “I have been good. They won't have to worry and will be able to return to their work. I have been very good. I am functioning perfectly. There is no problem. I'm fine. I already fixed it *skrnnnnnnnnn*” Again the noise “I've fixed it, I've fixed it, I've fixed it!”
“Okay! Okay. Alright, I believe you.”
Sun looked up and tensed its shoulders... and its 'rays'. It looked surprised, like it had forgotten Fern was there. “*Skr skr skr skr skr skr skr skr* Oh-! Oh.” It looked at the ribbon tangled between its fingers for a moment, untangled it, and looked back at Fern as its hands continued to play “I- didn- ...I'm sorry.”
“I was- I was just wondering, how... come that-” 'How are you still functioning after all this time?' was what Fern wanted to ask among a thousand things. But seeing Sun's expression, that mix between stress, fear and somehow enthusiasm, just to be there, with someone. Fern decided to put their questions aside “You know what? Why don't you ask me something?”
“*skr skr* Oh! I've already asked you a lot of things earlier! You still haven't answered those~!” It said with a more cheerful tone.
“Sorry, I don't remember them, can you repeat them for me?” Better to start gaining its trust.
Sun's posture tensed as it leaned forward, it clenched its fists with enthusiasm and its 'rays' shrank and extended, making a wave effect around its head, it made an inspiration sound “*GAAAASP* What is your favorite thing to do-?!What do you like to play-? What places do you like going to-?What's your favorite color-?!Your favorite song-?Your favorite food-?Do you like puppet shows-?Would you like me to teach you how to make puppets-?!Do you like nicknames?Would you like me to give you one-?Do you like painting-?Can we do make-?”
“One at a time! I can't keep up with everything.” Fern cut them off before it continued its endless list of questions. Sun had that guilty look again with its 'rays' drooping. Before it could began to apologize Fern continued “What's the first thing you want to ask me?”
“Um- eh-ah- *knnnnnn* What's your favorite thing to do in the world?!”
“Humm...” Fern took a moment to think. She could give a random answer to move forward the conversation faster but she wanted to be honest. And she was having a hard time because she couldn't remember what she liked to do most. “I guess... uuuuuhh... drawing? Although- well I don't really draw much.”
“*kr kr* I like to draw too! And painting! And crafts! What's your favorite game?!” Sun jumped to the next question.
“Uf, uh...” Fern wasn't great at remembering their own interests. It's hard when you don't think about it often, or ever “I don't think I have a favorite game... Mmmm-I like it when the game uses cards... but I don't know.”
“*skr kr kr* Oh! I also like card games. What's your favorite color?!”
“Oran...ge...? No... Well, yes, but maybe pastel yellow... although I also like some shades of green and purples.”
“*skr skr kr*” Sun seemed to be taking note of everything Fern was saying before asking the next question. “You can choose more than one! I like sky blue!” How ironic “What's your favorite food?” If it wasn't for the enthusiasm it gave off when asking and waiting for the answer, Fern would have thought Sun was getting back at them for asking it difficult questions earlier. It could be, but hard to believe with the little bounces it gave in place while smiling with excitement.
“I mean... I don't know- I like salty foods, and some acid ones but... I wouldn't know what to tell you my favourite food is.”
“*skr* Oh, well... I like cupcakes!”
“...How can you have a favorite food?”
“Why wouldn't I have???”
“Can you eat? Are you made with the capacity for it?”
“*kr knn* Ohoho! No, I can't eat them, but I like how they look! I think they are pretty! There are many ways to decorate them...! *skr kr kr* Oh! I also like homemade cookies! You can give them any shape you want and decorate them and you can also make them colorful!” What Sun seemed to like was the process of making them, makes sense.
“Ha.” Fern showed a smile of understanding.
“... *skr krkrkr skr kr*” It took a moment to ask the next question. “Do you like music? Do you have a favorite song?” It seemed more relaxed talking.
“I like it but um... I couldn't tell you... I've never chosen one as 'the favorite' ...you know?”
“*SKRRR* Y-you don't have to choose! Y-you are not obliged *skr kr*” Sun must have noticed Fern upset, but it wasn't because of them. What bothered Fern was not being able to give a confident answer. “Everyone has a hard time choosing sometimes-! *kr* There are a lot- lot of songs and music! How to choose just one... ahaha...” It laughed.
It continued the relentless bombardment of questions. Sun asked the typical basic children's questions when they have just learned how to make friends and chatted about various game topics. Fern tried to slip some 'discreet' question about the Fazbear company and Sun, but it would get nervous when it was unable to respond and would hung up, so they would change the topic again and talk about personal interests.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
It's been a long bit.
“*knnnnnnnnn*... Do you… do you have a favorite place?” Sun asked, showing a bit of shyness.
“...” It took Fern a while to answer “I- guess... My house? I don't know..."
“... D-don't you have... a comfy place? A place where you feel more comfortable than others?”
“Heh, yeah, my bed…” Their answers became more and more vague.
“Oh-! *skr* hehe... Does that mean you're not an early riser?”
“Actually, I usually get up early, but who isn't comfortable in their bed, you know? Besides, I get up early out of obligation. It's not that I can just stay in bed and do nothing.”
“*krkr* Oh...haha, of course...” There were a few seconds of awkward silence until it asked “Uh... a-a-are you bored? A-a-are -y-y-ou getting bored?” Its fans began to be heard.
Fern cut them off before it could start rambling in panic again. “No no! It's not that... it's just that-” She wanted to explain themselves but couldn't find the words. “I don't know. I guess- I'm a little tired, and lost in thoughts. I wasn't expecting...this” She pointed their hand in Sun's general direction.
“...Ah?” Sun tilted its head to the side in confusion.
“I mean... it's just...” I came to steal old material and scraps “I came in here expecting to explore a little and leave and now I'm... sitting here. I didn't expect to be answering questions about me or my personal tastes in craft materials.” She looked at Sun “...Or to have a conversation with a robot” Sun frowned a little at that last bit. “Not to belittle! I didn't expect to find anyone when I came here.”
“No no-! It's not that- ah- Why weren't you expecting anyone??” Sun asked with genuine confusion “There are always a lot of people working here, especially during the day!”
“...” Oh, boy. That “uh... Sun” It's better for them to know it now as soon as possible ...right? “I think... no one comes here anymore.”
“...?” Sun looked at Fern with bewilderment but maintained a light smile.
“...”
“...”
“...a-”
“AHAHA-” Sun suddenly laughed. Its posture and smile had frozen, its gaze fixed somewhere behind Fern.
She knew it wasn't looking at them, she swayed sideways and made various arm gestures and poses to check it. The *knnnnnnnn* that began to sound confirmed to Fern that it was still working and had not suddenly broken, maybe it just gave an error and was processing a response. “...Sun?”
“HA-” *SKRGKRrrgkk...* It looked like it had a spasm for a moment. Its head tilted and a mechanical *click* was heard, shortly after its face made a full rotation followed by more *clicks*. Its smile widened again, maintaining its worried expression, it put its hands on its ankles and began to sway back and forth rhythmically. “Silly-silly-silly-silly-silly-! *sKRKRrrg* OOOOH so silly-! That's so silly-! AHA-ahA ha-! Don't say nonsense!” It said smilingly.
Fern could only look at Sun in bewilderment and pity.
*skr* It stopped its swaying and relaxed its tone “Don't be silly, friend. Of course people still come! They have to come and do their job! Their work is very important! They wouldn't all quit so suddenly!”
“...Has anyone been here in the last years?” Fern asked, worried for the answer.
*skrKR* “You have come!” It responded instantly happily “You are here! -Right now!"
“...Sun,” uff “Have more people come here besides me in the last years?”
“...” *skrkr skr kr kr kr...* Its smile was falling but it didn't disappear completely. “Surely.... they are working in another part of the building. -Y-yes *kr*, they must be very busy! Working! Elsewhere...!” A low *kr kr kr kr* began to be heard “That's why... it must be that... You aren't a new technician! Right!?”
“¿¡!?” That took Fern by surprise. “Um- nope.”
“A-a-a-and- you haven't seen anyone since you came in here! Right!?” *skrskrskr*
“...No-?”
“Of course!” *SKR* The half-joyful-half-nervous tone returned “-Of course you couldn't have seen anyone! You don't work here! You can't have the work schedule or know where they might be-! You can't know- aHAha-!” If Sun noticed the worried looks Fern was sending him, it must have ignored it.
“Y-yeah okay, but- alright... and... haven't you thought... that they haven't stopped by to visit you in a long time?” Fern gave a small worried smile. “-Haven't you seen them in a while time?”
“LIIIke I said before- they're busy- they don't need to come see me now! *krkrkr* It must be that I don't need to be examined at the moment! That must be it haha! You're not from here so naturally you don't know! You don't know what they're working on! Don't worry- don't worry-!”
Fern could only think that this was going to be more complicated than it already seemed at first. The robot continued with its paranoia that this place was still running. Something light up on its face, as if it had remembered something.
“B-besides- they said they would come back tomorrow! So it's fine! They'll be back!”
That got all of Fern's attention. “Wait- holditholditholditholdit-! They told you they would be back, tomorrow???”
Sun nodded its head vividly “Mhm! That's what they said!” It looked more cheerful.
“But- like, tomorrow-tomorrow?”
*Sknnnnnnnnnnnn* Ah, one of the various sounds of thinking “They said they would be back tomorrow!” It drops that and stays chill, with a smile on its face.
“So you're telling me... they talked to you today?”
“Oh, no! I haven't seen them today...”
“They sent you a message then.”
“No no, I haven't received any messages in a while.” *skr*
“...” For the love of my life “They... told you the date they would return, and that date is tomorrow?”
"No, silly!" it said with laughter “I'm telling you, they told me they would be back tomorrow!”
Fern was perplexed. She was finally managing to get even a sliver of information out and she had gotten themselves into a loop with the robot. But wait- “Sun, how long ago did they tell you they would be back tomorrow?”
Sun stayed silent, the only audible sound the long, drawn-out *knnnnnnnnnn* it seemed to do when it thought. It dug its fingers into the fabric of its pants near its ankles and didn't move again. A while passed and it was still motionless, thinking. It began to repeat a sequence of noises as if it had gotten stuck in its thoughts and suddenly the sound stopped. Its smile fell, its body lost all the tension that kept them upright, and it slumped to the side.
Fern startled. “¿Sun?” Didn't seem to respond “Oh, God...” Just as she thought of getting closer to check if it was okay, Sun sat up, making a lot of mechanical *clicks* and *tics* as its limbs settled back into their natural positions. It could be hear the fan running and soon the *skr skr* it had been doing the whole time they were talking.
It finally looked up at Fern. It seemed to function normally again, “...” “...” “...HEEEEL-” or almost “-LOOO... *SKGrkrgr* N-new friend-? Oh-o-OH- Are you new-?! ARE YOU FRIEND!? *kgr*” This sounds familiar... Sun got up from excitement, it couldn't stop bouncing on the spot. “Who are you-?! What's your name!? *skgr* I can't find your profile-! -Do you have a profile??? OH! Are you the new playmate!? Wait, are you here for the routine maintenance? *kr- kr-* Are you a new technician-!?” And we start again “Can we play? Can we play NOW!? Can we-! You're not on the employee registry-! You need a registry to-! *skgrkrkrkr* How could you get in without a profile!??? Do you work here-?” It stopped dead and stared at Fern. Its white pupils scanned them from top to bottom. “*skrgrkrg* *GASP* You don't work here! How did you get in-!? What are you doing here-!? INTRUDER! STRANGER! ¡AAA-!” His rays tensed, Sun began to run in circles screaming “SECURITY ALERT! SECURITY ALERT! WOO WOO WOO WOO!” And imitating alarm sounds. Its screams mixed with the noises of its processor and fans. Fern could only look in amazement and disconsolation at the panorama.
“Sun.” She tried calling them but it kept going 'woo woo' while running and doing pirouettes across the floor. “Sun! Hey!” No case. Eventually it went back to just spinning around in circles while shouting 'DANGER DANGER' over and over again. “Sun! Listen! SUN!” It stopped but not because of Fern. It had frozen in its animation again, its head and hands rotating in place, sparking from the friction. Now it was just repeating 'ERROR ERROR' non-stop with a monotone voice.
Fern panicked, she spun around on themselves looking around, searching for something. She located an old, dusty ball behind a chair and threw it hard at Sun, hitting them in the face. Somehow this made it stop completely. Fern watched silently waiting for something to happen but Sun remained motionless without making a sound. A few seconds later the fan sounded again along with the rest of the usual noises, it took them a while to start up. When it finally did, it returned its gaze to Fern, scanning them up and down.
“...” “*GASP* New frie-!”
“AH- NAH-no-no-no-no-nah-! We are not going through this again!” Fern cut them off before it could start with everything all over again.
“...f-...frie-nd-...” That left them in shock. It lowered its rays and its posture shrank. The *vrrrrrr* of the fans could be hear.
“Y-Yes- yes... friends! We're friends” Saying that seemed to help improve its mood. Sun went to open its mouth to speak but Fern was the one who did it first. “Before you say anything-! Um... No, I don't work here and I don't have a profile. Yes, I've snuck in, uh- don't activate the alarms yet, I don't have any bad intentions...” That last one was partially a lie. Don't get upset, okay? ...We don't want you to suddenly shut down and collapse again.” Sun tensed up upon hearing that but did as instructed and remained calm for the moment. “We've been talking for the last- THREE HOURS.” Fern looked at their watch, it had been over three hours and she was having a hard time assimilating it but she looked back at Sun who was expectant of Fern's words. She took a breath and continued. “Okay, look, we've been talking for a long time and you've already asked me everything about me. Y-you should have that information recorded somewhere in your memory! It happened just now.” She paused to see if Sun had caught everything she said and gave it a moment to search for said information. It could be hear the *skr skr* of thinking and the fans. After a while it stopped making noise, but the nervous fidgeting of its hands let Fern know it hadn't collapsed again. “Do you remember anything of what happened in the last few hours?” She asked.
Sun seemed to have come out of the trance it was in and started looking between its hands, the computer desks, and Fern. “*skr- skr-*...uuh...uh...” The fidgeting passed from its hands to the ribbons “...yyyyyess?? uh- *SKRG* I- *kr* I shouldn't give- *sKRGRRGKRgrrss*” Oh no... It froze again- “Yes! Yes, of course! Ha- How would I forget-?” It had that expression again between happy and on the verge of an attack “I haven't forget anything! I haven't forget anything-! Don't worry! It's all here-!” It raised its arm doing a swing with one finger pointing at its head. “It's here! I forgot nothing- nothing! It only took a lil' bit to load- haha...” Sun smiled awkwardly while Fern looked at them with concern and seriousness. “Yup, a-aALLLl in order! *-skrgr*” It confirmed one last time.
Fern let out a tired sigh. She looked worriedly at the watch on their wrist. 12:11 “Okay... okay look, I- have been here for a long time now, I should go-”
“What-!? No no! *-kgrkgrgr* Please no!” Aaaand Sun panicked again. “Don't go! HahA-! I- Um- Can-! *SKGR* I-I-can-can-can- a-any- thing! I can do anything-! Whatever you want-!” Its voice was cutting off with static and it let out gasps between pleas, its rays were trembling. Fern tried to say something but it was only a murmur between Sun's desperate screams. “Don't leave yet, please! It's still too soon! Don't leave me alone! I don't want to be alone-!”
“I'LL COME BACK!” Fern finally raised their voice.
“...eh?”
"Listen." Fern made sure she had Sun's attention “I cannot stay any longer, I just can't! I've already spent longer than I intended here and I have a lot to do. So...” She sighed and looked at Sun, they maintained eye contact. “...I'm leaving for today, and I'll be back tomorrow, okay?” She saw confusion on Sun's face, from the sound of *Knng* and the way it tilted its head it didn't seem to have understood. She repeated again gesturing with their hands as she spoke making their points clear. “Today: I'm leaving. Tomorrow: I'll be back... Understand?” She let a few seconds pass to see how it'll responded.
It had its hands together, one finger scratching the joint of a knuckle on its exposed hand. Its noises could be heard at a lower volume and the rays from its head shrank and extended in a wave movement. It finally reacted “ah...uh-... o-okay... okay... *skgr* a- Yes! Alright... okay...” It nodded with a shy smile. “*skr... skr...* um- I-... if- If my friend says- *kr* says they're coming back, then they're coming back! Ahaha...” It tried to return to a more cheerful voice. It sounded like it said it more to themselves than to anyone else. “Ri...ght... friend?”
"Sure." Fern nodded, tilting their head to the side.
“...” “...Do you promise...?”
“Yes.”
“...You promise you'll be back here tomorrow?”
“Yes, I'll be back here tomorrow.”
“R-really?”
“Yes, really.”
“Do you really promis-?”
"Yes!" Sun jumped back, its eyes and shoulders hunched and it looked in fear at Fern. “Sorry...” She sighed “I promise. I really, truly, really, truthfully promise that I will be back. Tomorrow morning I promise you I'll be right here.” Sun looked at Fern expectantly. “...” “Word.” Fern held up their hand in promise. Sun imitated the gesture “Okay?”
Its expression brightened, the rays came out again and its posture relaxed. “Okay, y-yeah, okay! W-we'll see each other tomorrow!” It confirmed.
Fern was relieved to hear Sun finally understand and breathed out a sigh of relief. “Okay, then... I'll get going, alright? Bye.” She waved goodbye as she headed towards the doors.
“¡Ah! Uh... Can you close the doors on your way out? The doors have to be closed if no one's here...”
“Yeah.” She grabbed the door handles and pushed them.
“U-um- S-see ya!” It said waving its hand in the air.
"See you tomorrow." Fern confirmed one last time, “Bye, Sun.”
Sun stood there, waving timidly into the air, watching as its new (apparently) friend disappeared after closing the fake castle doors. It stopped waving “...” “Who's Sun?”
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Fern was back on the first elevator, the one that wasn't working and, naturally, she hadn't forgotten their beloved and much missed crowbar. She made a long descent to the bottom of the pit using the stairs on the wall to get it back and climb back up. She sighed, “Next time, I'm bringing two crowbars.” She climbed back up to the roof of the elevator and entered through the emergency hatch to reach floor L2. After coming out of it, she stopped in front of the doors to look at the state of the crowbar more calmly 'Wow, it's pretty good for having fallen from 30 me-' *SKREEEEEENNNNNNGG* Fern flinched at the sound and turned to look at the elevator.
*SKREEENNNGG NNNGG NNNGGGGGGGgggggggggg.......*
*...*
*...*
*...*
*BOOMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............*
“...”
Fern stared with their eyes wide open at the now empty elevator shaft. She looked at the crowbar in their hand. She decides to put it away and return home. We aren't going to think about how she narrowly escaped that, no. If she had taken few more seconds to come out and turns into mush, in an elevator pit, in an abandoned facility, in a building not even its mother knows, in the middle of nowhere. Nope! We aren't going to think about that, better to get out. Down the stairs, straight ahead to the right. Fresh air here she goes.
As soon as she left, Fern felt a pressure release from their head. Just a few meters away from the entrance she felt like she had to sit down and take off their backpack before getting where she had parked their hovercraft, she needed clean air. The fresh air helped them clear their head and thoughts. She hadn't realized until now how overwhelmed she was feeling being in there, apart from the recent scare with the elevator, which has also made them feel anguish.
She looks at the clock, it's past one o'clock in the afternoon. She should eat something if she's driving home after all that walking, climbing, and running. She gets up from the ground and drags the backpack along with their body to collapse in the car so she can eat there. It's a little harder to carry the backpack with the extra weight of the tools she has been collecting on the way back (hey, they were free). She takes off their gloves and digs through their backpack to take out the multipurpose knife, the lunch box containing the chicken with rice she had prepared in the early morning and an apple, some of the rice has stuck to the lid of the lunchbox and she scratches it off with the fork. She spends a few minutes digging into the food until she finally decides to bring a portion to their mouth.
Although she decided not to worry for the moment, Fern can't help but think of the robot trapped and abandoned at the bottom of the building... who's alone again. Should she really come back tomorrow? Yes, she promised, but, what difference would it make if she just pretended nothing happened? What consequences could there be-? In fact- Fern would be suffering consequences for taking responsibility for a defective and damaged robot. Bots themselves are already a pain in the ass to maintain and the lack of bot rights management doesn't help, there is nothing that protects them; there's no way to get good insurance for them, especially for models from 5 years ago. If your bot is older than that you better have a complete manual stuck in your head on how to solve any absolute damage or problem it may suffer, because if not, you're both very screwed.
Speaking of which, how is Fern supposed to repair a robot as broken as Sun is? Especially one made by Fazbear Entertainment, the bastards make their own unique tools and parts of exclusive use for their company. You can't find them anywhere. It would be impossible to repair one of their animatronics unless she made each piece by hand and- um- no. Thank you. Is Sun even in saveable condition? Would it even be worth it? Even in the hypothetical case that she managed to save it, what would she do next? She doesn't have space at home for a robot that's taller than 2 meters. There is the machine refuge, yes, but...
...
Could she even help them? Without compatible or interchangeable parts I highly doubt it. It would end up turning into useless scrap metal. Not much differece from what awaits for it inside. There really wouldn't be any difference between leaving it here or taking it to the city.
Nobody knows it's there.
...
Fern knows.
...
But no one else knows of its existence. Who would care?
...
It's down there suffering and nobody knows.
...
Fern knows.
...
Without realizing it she had stopped eating and was just playing with the fork. Let's see, on one hand we have: a damaged, defective and hyperactive robot in an abandoned facility in very poor condition an... give it an hour and a half by hovercraft away from the city, without much chance of repair or survival in or out of this place, not to mention the lack of knowledge about its model. On the other hand we have: guilt.
On the one hand: Fern wouldn't feel right just leaving it here, Sun has autonomy and in the time they have known each other it has demonstrated enough intelligence to have its own opinions and make decisions for itself, it clearly has a developed AI so it is capable of feeling emotions; in other words, its suffering is real and it is morally wrong to leave it like this. On the other hand: she wouldn't know where to put it, as said before, there is no space at home and Fern has neither the resources nor the time to take care of it, they wouldn't accept it in a job or company because it already belongs to one, on top of it with a bad reputation. The refuge is an option but it wouldn't help much, it could end up becoming a burden and may not end up getting along with the other bots that are already there.
What will win in the end? Rationality or morality? The crushing and tormenting feeling of guilt! Of course! That's why Fern is sitting curled up in a ball, perforating with their gaze at the half-eaten rice and chicken, unable to make up their mind. She could at least try. Try... something. Even if it's just, paying them a visit? She already promised them that she would come back tomorrow. At the very least she should go see them tomorrow, she doesn't have to go every time, she doesn't have to repair it either. Maybe keeping company is enough? From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it has much of its lifespan left... Oh God, she's really considering doing this.
For now, Fern will worry about finishing their meal and driving back to the town. She'll think better about it when she gets home.

Wow, like-
Wow
Don't give me an already depressing story, brain, within the span of 2 boring hours of class (or 2 months) I'll somehow make it more depressing and sad than it actually is
Holy-shit
I almost cried in the middle of class

i have a question about your biomáquina au
those wires on the back of sunnys head, are they what keep him on? I wonder what will happen when Fern fixes him? I imagine he'll be happy to be able to remember stuff. that or he will be a mess that requires therapy lol
In some way they are keeping him functioning, like they are part of his 'brain'.
It will be a long while until Fern is able to help him get fixed. Moon will be an important part of this.
I don't know if it's actually better for his mental state to get back his memories if I'm honest, it will be painful but it's important for him to remember what happened in the past and who he was.

BIOMáquina: Sense of Living
Capítulo 1: Peligro, extraño.
Ver. [ENGLISH / ESPAÑOL]
¡El primer encuentro! En un mundo donde la humanidad se ha confinado en ciudades encapsuladas para permitir que el mundo exterior sane, nuestra protagonista, Fern, irrumpe en las instalaciones abandonadas y olvidadas de Fazbear CO. en busca de materiales viejos y chatarra para vender. Pero algo está muy mal en este lugar, como el constante olor a podredumbre que hay en el aire… (No, no es Afton, no hay Afton en esta AU, esto está mucho más centrado en DCA).
Tengo que mencionar que nunca tuve la intención de escribir esto. ¡Pero cuando terminé de I see you, Sundrop! por @/ shirajellyfish (¡Gracias de nuevo a @/ cipher-the-sidhe por recomendarmelo! Me da vergüenza etiquetar, lloro) me motivé a escribir el primer capítulo de mi AU y hacerlo a mi manera. La versión temprana de mi BIOMáquina Sun puede tener algunas inspiraciones de Sundrop de ISYS, pero planeo que se desarrolle para el final de la historia hasta convertirse en algo más cercano al canon. Sassy, aunque no el sassy malo.
Como dije en la versión en Inglés, agradezco el feedback y comentarios. Es la primera vez que subo algo que he escrito a internet.
AU, centrado en DCA (pero Moon no se menciona en este capítulo) …y también principalmente centrado en Sun, Sun fnaf, OC, Selfinsert, Character & OC, platónico, amistad, slowburn (probablemente), OC es un boca negra , Sun tiene amnesia, personaje principal no binario/pangénero, laboratorios e instalaciones abandonadas, mundo retrofuturista, temática steam/dieselpunk.
El primer post donde enseñé esta AU y los diseños de Sun y Moon. Hay información sobre el mundo y los personajes, no es necesaria para disfrutar la historia, pero quizás quieras tener una idea sobre esta AU.
BIOMáquina AU archivo de Tumblr, con todos los posts y asks.

Recuento de palabras: 12.579
06:23 Jueves Tiempo: despejado.
Hace mucho tiempo que no pasa nadie por aquí. El lugar ha sido reclamado por la naturaleza con el paso del tiempo, no del todo consumido pero si lo suficiente como para asumir que ha pasado alrededor de una década sin ningún humano circulando por ahí.
Hasta hoy.
Un pequeño vehículo aerodeslizador se acerca a lo lejos. Hoy, en lugar de su destino habitual, Fern decidió tomar otra ruta y explorar un poco. Se dirige a la edificación que ha visto en la distancia. Las instalaciones abandonadas de Fazbear CO. No debería husmear en un edificio abandonado, mucho menos uno que parece haber sido totalmente olvidado por el mundo, pero Fern ya tenía experiencia entrando en sitios peligrosos y abandonados, así que estaba bien (no, no lo estaba).
Se queda mirando el sitio por un rato antes de aparcar su vehículo. Un pensamiento de '¿Por qué no?' le incita a entrar, y eso hace. Tras forcejear con los cierres de la entrada consigue abrir las puertas. Parece una puerta automática pero con un sistema manual para cuando no hay energía, es un diseño bastante viejo. La puerta se queda abierta.
06:39
Fern entra dentro, está todo oscuro, la única luz siendo la que entra por la puerta. Siempre lleva su mochila cargada con todo lo básico que necesita para cuando sale a por materiales (basura) o exploración (para más basura). Saca una linterna e inspecciona el lugar. Se percata de que al lado suyo hay un viejo robot desconectado y degradado por el paso del tiempo, posiblemente no pueda volver a encenderse. Parece que este bot era encargado de vigilar la entrada.
Avanzando por las instalaciones abandonadas Fern encuentra más bots desconectados. No está con el equipo adecuado para desmantelarlos y llevarse sus partes de valor, si es que hay algo salvable de estos robots. Toma notas mentales y sigue adelante. El sitio está peor por dentro que por fuera, de alguna forma la suciedad y maleza se las han apañado para entrar y crecer en los sitios más aleatorios.
Encuentra un mapa guía del sitio, parece que es más grande por dentro de lo que se ve desde fuera, bastante más grande de lo que uno esperaría. Hay cuatro plantas superiores y 6 inferiores, las plantas superiores hacen una circunferencia dejando un vacío en el centro, son zonas de fábrica y ensamblaje para bots/animatrónicos, herramientas, aparatos electrónicos... todo equipamiento de la marca Fazbear, siempre han hecho su propio material. En la planta baja (B0) donde está Fern parece que es la zona de descarga, vehículos de transporte de carga, oficinas y generador de energía de los pisos superiores. Los dos primeros pisos inferiores parecen ser más oficinas, caldera, sala del generador de energía para los pisos inferiores, laboratorios y... otra zona de ensamblaje de animatrónicos.
...Los últimos cuatro pisos están emborronados pero se puede leer la palabra 'testeo de IA' ¿Tan abajo tenían que estar las salas de pruebas?¿Y por qué 4 pisos enteros del edificio?
Hay una anotación:
Solo personal autorizado.
Cualquier personal no autorizado que pase de de la zona restringida se le pondrá una sanción de despido.
Ojó... ahora Fern quería entrar ahí ¿Por qué esconderían esa parte?¿Qué tienen que ocultar? Conociendo la empresa Fazbear Entretainent, mucho. Sería guay ser una de las pocas personas en saber que hay ahí abajo, aunque luego se quede igual de secreto que antes porque Fern no quiere que la pongan una denuncia o la arresten, salir de la ciudad sin permiso ya es motivo de ello. Pero antes de ir a los pisos más profundos mejor echar un vistazo rápido a los superiores primero, su naturaleza le hace querer llevar un orden para explorar el lugar de la forma más eficiente (que se le pueda ocurrir).
Como decía el mapa todo lo que hay arriba es material y ensamblaje, algunas salas incluso tienen ventanas estrechas que dejan pasar algo de luz por sus rendijas en lo alto de la pared... donde no se puede mirar a fuera, pero al menos tenían algo de luz natural en sus zonas de trabajo, los que trabajaban aquí arriba al menos... Fern mira a su alrededor, es todo un desorden, hay papeles y metales tirados por el suelo... Parece que algunos salieron con prisa, por las sillas y mesas descolocadas... Fern hace una nota mental de volver a pasarse por aquí y echarle un mejor vistazo a las herramientas viejas antes de volver a casa.
¿Mm? No se ha llegado a ver la zona del centro. Fern asumió que la parte rodeada por el edificio se vería desde alguna ventana o habría alguna entrada a un terreno llano, pero parece no haber ¿Por qué malgastarían tanto espacio? O igual no lo estaban malgastando. A lo mejor había algo más ahí pero era inaccesible desde los pisos de la superficie.
Fern no perdió otro momento para bajar a los niveles inferiores. Los generadores de energía parecían averiados, no iba a poder usar los ascensores. Tampoco lo planeaba, posiblemente se derrumben con el tiempo que llevan ahí parados sin mantenimiento. Lo que planeaba era ahorra energía de la linterna si el generador podía iluminar el camino. Oh, bueno. Igual el otro generador de los pisos inferiores aún es funcional.
...
No lo es. Bueno, había que intentarlo. Fern se hubiera sentido estúpida si el generador si hubiera funcionado y por simplemente no comprobarlo hubiera gastado batería de la linterna a lo tonto. Explorando un poco más el piso antes de seguir bajando encuentra una pequeña habitación de cocina. ¿Oh? ¿Había una cocina en el mapa? Fern no lo recuerda, debería haberle tomado una foto al mapa ahora que se para a pensarlo. Debería haber por lo menos un mapa en todos los pisos, le tomará una foto al próximo que vea.
Bajando por las escaleras encuentra las salas de ensamblaje y el laboratorio que parecen más avanzados que los niveles superiores. Estos parecen un poco menos desorden que los anteriores pisos. Aún se nota que la gente se fue con prisa, dejando las sillas y mesas en cualquier posición y tirando objetos por el camino pero parece que por lo menos se preocuparon de guardar materiales peligrosos en los armarios, todos desordenados pero al menos no expuestos... algunas puertas ni siquiera están bien cerradas- mira mejor me callo y continuamos.
07:12
Finalmente llega al final del piso. No hay más escaleras, solo un ascensor que le lleva a la zona restringida (plantas: B3, B4, B5 y B6), lo cual significa que necesita el generador funcionando... o... puede abrirse camino forzando las puertas del ascensor con una palanca... abriendo la trampilla de emergencia... y colándose por el hueco entre el ascensor y la pared que convenientemente es de esos diseños antiguos con escalones de barra en la pared (Hoy en día no se dejan estos huecos a no ser que el ascensor sea muy grande y/o haya sido construido con espacio de sobra). Baja por las escaleras de pared hasta el siguiente piso que está cerrado también, por lo que tiene que volver a forzar las puertas de seguridad del ascensor. Esta vez es más complicado, tiene que forzar la puerta sin tener un suelo de apoyo ya que todo lo que hay es la pared circular, las vigas que sostienen la estructura del ascensor y el vacío del foso. Fern se cuelga de una viga cerca de la puerta, clava la palanca entre las dos puertas con los pies, hace presión contra la palanca usando las piernas y se abre camino. Tras abrir lo suficiente las puertas la palanca se escurre de entre los pies y se cae al foso. Fern se queda mirando como cae apretando los labios y espera al sonido de *clinggg* que hace al llegar al fondo, '...hhhhhah, trendré que bajar luego a por ella', piensa.
Tras forzar un poco más la puerta con las manos, lo justo para poder pasar, por fin está dentro, en el nivel B3. ¡Oh! Y lo primero que ve es un mapa completo, ¡Bien! Le puede sacar una foto con el móvil y así no se pierde. Por lo que parece este mapa revela que en efecto, si hay una zona central de las instalaciones en uso. Por algún motivo para acceder al centro del edificio hay que bajar a los pisos más profundos y desde otro ascensor subir a la zona central... raro. El diseño de las instalaciones parece hecho para mantener algo lo más alejado posible del exterior, con todas estas vueltas y distintos ascensores que te hacen tomar para llegar a un sitio al que sería tan fácil acceder si tan solo hubieran puesto una o dos puertas en la planta baja o superior. Definitivamente ahí había algo, a Fern no le cabía la menor duda, igual estaba teorizando demasiado y tan solo era una elección rara de diseño, pero que elección más rara de diseño, ahí hay algo seguro y Fern iba para allá.
Según el mapa, los cuatro pisos más bajos contienen... un montón de celdas de almacenamiento de animatrónicos, wuau. Espera, ahora que se para a mirarlo más de cerca, eso son muchas celdas. Hay tres o cuatro salas más grandes en comparación con el resto, 'guardería', pone. ...A Fern no le gustaban las implicaciones de eso, no le gustaba ver las celdas, guarderías y laboratorios tan cerca los unos de los otros. Si esto era lo que había en las primeras plantas restringidas para los no autorizados ¿Qué podría haber más profundo? Por dios ¿Qué hicieron con los niños?
Los animatrónicos de Fazbear Entretainent estaban hechos específicamente para tratar con niños a pesar de su dudable calidad de funcionamiento de IA. Las guarderías podrían haber sido para probar cómo se comportan los animatrónicos con niños de verdad, vale ¿Pero por qué tres guarderías enteras en el mismo piso? Y hay por lo menos dos más en el piso de encima. Se entendería mejor si solo hubiera salas de ensamblaje y reparación al lado de las celdas, pero ¿Laboratorios... justo enfrente de las guarderías? Turbio, muy turbio. No gusta, no gusta nada.
Los pisos inferiores están más llenos de bots rotos que los de arriba. De alguna manera el sitio está más en ruinas de lo que están los pisos de la superficie, que están más expuestos al exterior. Pero las puertas parecen de mayor seguridad con lectores de tarjeta, algunas rotas, no todas pero parece que se puedan abrir. Bajando por las escaleras a la planta B4 empieza a ver un diseño distinto de bot a medio montar, este podría ser un diseño de animatrónico en el que estarían trabajando. En este piso solo ve piezas de endoesqueleto a medio montar y planos de dicho robot junto con pósteres promocionales de una mascota de guardería... con temática de ¿Sol...? Tonos anaranjados, amarillos y rojos.
Fern se acerca a uno de los planos, 'DaCaAtt/ProtoType_Model_N15', el N15 ha sido subrayado varias veces en rojo y hay notas por todos los planos. Es... ¿Un animatrónico payaso- mas bien bufón, con temática ¿Astral? La cabeza parece representar un sol con la mitad derecha de su cara siendo una luna creciente, como en esas representaciones del sol y la luna juntos, la luna mirando de perfil y el sol de frente... solo que aquí es como si hubieran fusionado dos caras en una dejando la nariz torcida hacia el lado. Todos los endoesqueletos a medio hacer parecen pertenecer a este modelo. Es un diseño un tanto extra complicado, tiene un montón de articulaciones, sobretodo en la cara. Parece que querían ir más allá con este diseño.
A Fern le parecía un poco demasiado para un animatrónico infantil encargado de guardería. Entendía que estaban intentando hacer que se pareciera a la mascota simpática del póster pero a Fern se le ocurrían un par de ideas para simplificar el diseño de la cara: una pantalla con animaciones faciales, por ejemplo ¿Y por qué tanta complicación en el interior del robot? Cuanto más miraba los planos, más le parecía estar viendo una recreación desproporcionada del esqueleto humano en metal. Siguió avanzando por las instalaciones hasta encontrar las siguientes escaleras al piso B5.
...Al final del tramo de escaleras hay un animatrónico desconectado- más bien roto, es el sol. Parecía estar reptando escaleras arriba... tiene las piernas y la parte de atrás de la cabeza reventadas, como si hubieran intentado evitar que avanzase mas golpeándolo con algo. Asomándose por los pasillos Fern encuentra más animatrónicos de sol tirados por el camino o contra la pared, dañados, unos enteros otros les faltaban cachos o miembros enteros. Toca uno de los cuerpos de robot con el pie, no se mueve, era de esperar. Hay una cuerda gris y un cacho de plástico asomando por debajo de la mano del animatrónico, Fern usa el pie nuevamente para sacar la cuerda de debajo de la mano. Es una tarjeta de identificación rasgada, manchada y magullada, la cuerda está rota como si hubiese sido arrancada de algo, no se puede identificar ni la foto ni el nombre del antiguo propietario. Ahora es de Fern. Tendría que tener el ojo abierto por si ve más tarjetas en mejor estado, si consigue hacer funcionar los generadores podría abrirse paso a más sitios. Si es que fueran a ser de utilidad.
Avanzando por el pasillo se para a mirar las poses en las que se fueron apagando los animatrónicos, algunos tienen la cara lo suficientemente entera como para ver una expresión de terror en ella. Ninguno parecía estar yendo en una dirección en especifico, solo... huyendo. Tenían miedo ¿Cómo de avanzada era su IA como para simular el miedo? ¿No eran prototipos? No se les pone IAs desarrolladas a prototipos de robot, aunque bueno, eso es una norma reciente de la robótica, a saber cómo de viejo es este sitio.
Ahora que se daba cuenta, hay un olor bastante dominante en el ambiente desde que ha bajado por el ascensor. Fern creyó que era proveniente de los laboratorios y salas de ensamblaje, por el metal y los químicos viejos, pero se ha hecho más fuerte a medida que avanza. Como algo podrido mezclado con óxido y aceite de motor.
Fern empieza a pensar que le gustaría tener un amigo con quien explorar este sitio. A más profundo más le inquieta el lugar, y más se nota la falta aire fresco.
Echa un vistazo al mapa, por el camino que ha tomado parece que se está acercando a una de las guarderías. Donde debería estar la entrada hay un puñado de animatrónicos sol en una pila obstruyendo la puerta que está llena de arañazos y golpes. Parece que intentaron abrirla a la fuerza, se nota la desesperación en el desgaste de sus manos.
Desesperación.
Es la palabra que más encaja al ver esta situación.
Fern siente un escalofrío por la espalda y sus tripas se revuelven. Sigue avanzando. Más cuerpos de animatrónicos desconectados o destrozados, casi no habían animatrónicos en las celdas de almacenaje, todos habían intentado escapar. Al llegar al piso B6 parece disminuir la cantidad de cuerpos de robot tirados. Parece que ya estaban todos almacenados en sus cámaras, o consiguieron meterlos y desconectarlos antes de que cundiera el pánico... o se revelaran. No, esto no tenía pinta de rebelión robot. Tal vez se enteraron de algo ¿Un rumor que se salió de las manos? Igual descubrieron que les iban a desconectar para siempre y entraron en pánico... Fern no les culparía.
Asomándose al cristal de una de las celdas se puede ver un grupo de animatrónicos sol, todos en sus respectivas cabinas en la pared, conectados por un cable de la cabeza. Algunos están de pie apoyándose contra una de las paredes de su cabina, tienen un cinturón de seguridad manteniendolos en el sitio, otros están sentados en un asiento de la cabina y otros sentados directamente en el suelo. Están desconectados, apagados, obviamente. El suelo está acolchado con secciones de colores y hay almohadas y peluches viejos por el suelo. El resto de cámaras son iguales, algunas con espacios vacíos. La cantidad de animatrónicos tirados por el suelo en posición de pánico es menor, mas bien están sentados contra la pared o simplemente tumbados en el suelo de forma más apacible. Se rindieron o bien les convencieron de alguna forma de apagarse.
07:38
Finalmente Fern llega al ascensor que lleva al centro de las instalaciones. Este ascensor está más escondido que el resto y parece ser más avanzado, Fern no parecía saber si iba a ser tan fácil de abrir como el resto... ah- espera- su palanca. Se ha olvidado de ir a buscar su palanca que está al fondo de foso del segundo ascensor... y para ir a buscarla tendría que subir arriba y bajar por las escaleras del foso porque no puede abrir las puertas desde el último piso como había planeado porque no tiene su palanca.
Fern.
Eres tonta tía.
“Aaaaaggh...” se queja levantando su vista al techo. Suspira. Antes de abandonar la sala mira por al rededor a ver si hay algo que le pueda servir para forzar las puertas y vuelve a mirar al ascensor, tiene luz. Espera ¿Tiene luz? No puede ser, los generadores no funcionan. A no ser que haya un tercer generador para este ascensor... Se acerca al panel del botón, efectivamente las luces de encima brillan levemente ¿Pero cómo está funcionando? El sitio entero debería estar apagado. Decide pulsar el botón solo por probar y a los pocos segundos las puertas se abren, la luz del interior iluminando la sala a la par que la linterna de Fern.
Aunque parece funcionar a Fern no le hacía gracia la idea de usarlo. El ascensor que la ha llevado a los pisos bajos era tan peligroso como los otros pero al menos no tubo que usarlo para llegar abajo (Aunque perfectamente se podría haber caído nada más poner un pie dentro so lerda), pero este iba a tener que usarlo si o si para poder abrir las puertas de la siguiente planta a no ser que encontrase algo que usar de palanca. No obstante este ascensor si que parecía en mejor estado que el otro. Igual si solo le pedía subir una planta podía acceder al resto del sitio desde ahí.
Fern entra al ascensor. Los pisos disponibles de abajo arriba son: B6, BC2, BC1, C0, C1, C2, C3 y C4, no hay Bajos 5, 4 y 3, la C será de “Centro” al igual que B es de “Bajo”. Duda antes de apretar el botón para el BC2, unos segundos y las puertas se cierran, el ascensor hace unos chirridos de maquinaria que lleva mucho tiempo sin moverse volviendo a funcionar hasta que empieza a ascender de golpe. Se mueve sin parar, el ruido que hace es preocupante pero no da parones. Tan rápido se abren las puertas Fern las cruza y se gira al ascensor esperando a que se derrumbe y caiga de vuelta al fondo. No lo hace, solo se cierran las puertas tras unos segundos. Si mientras está en otra parte del edificio oye un estruendo a la distancia Fern asumirá que el ascensor ha caído y por ende tendrá que buscar algo que pueda hacer de palanca.
Por algún motivo no hay un mapa de esta parte de las instalaciones. Siempre ha habido uno nada más salir del ascensor o bajar las escaleras pero este sitio no tiene. Raro ¿Igual todos los empleados de esta zona tenían uno propio? O se lo sabían de memoria. No, lo primero tiene más sentido.
Avanzando por los pasillos, salas de laboratorio, ensamblaje etc, los pisos parecen ser iguales a los ya visitados pero ¿Más avanzados? Las paredes y puertas son de mayor calidad y seguridad, y el equipo de laboratorio, herramientas y demás parecen de las buenas-buenas... y caras, pero buenas, y calidad. Los pisos centrales parecen ser los únicos con electricidad, parcialmente, no todas las luces están encendidas y algunas de las que si están parpadean. 'Espero que ninguna explote-' pensó para si misma. Acto seguido una puerta de seguridad comienza a abrirse y cerrarse descontroladamente dándole un sobresalto a Fern “AH-!”. Tras el susto toma un respiro mientras la puerta empieza a moverse más lento y finalmente se detiene a medio abrir. Las puertas de aquí deben tener sensor o algo, debe haberse activado por cercanía, ¿La tarjeta es aún funcional? La saca de su bolsillo y la pasa cerca de la puerta intentando buscar el sensor. La puerta reacciona pero no termina de cerrarse o abrirse.
Fern agarra uno de los 'Staff' bots desconectados que hay por el pasillo y lo arrastra hasta la puerta, bloqueándola en caso de que se vuelva a mover y se quede encerrada dentro. Es una oficina-archivo, hay papeles y archivadores tirados por el suelo. Un panel del techo se cayó sobre unos archivadores y tiró todo por el suelo. Fern los mira vagamente por encima, algunos papeles parecen ser registros de materiales de laboratorio e ingredientes. Recalca parecen porque Fern no entiende el lenguaje técnico y enrevesado en el que están escritos, el tío que trabajaba aquí escribía de pena, no deja de repetir los mismos elementos por toda la hoja con una letra horrible. No ve nada de valor en la oficina así que sale a continuar avanzando por el laberinto de pasillos mal iluminados y puertas malfuncionando.
08:10
Fern ha estado ya un buen rato dando vueltas por las instalaciones. La mayoría de puertas están cerradas a cal y canto y no se pueden abrir (si cierto alguien hubiera vuelto unos pisos a recuperar su palanca...), la próxima vez que venga Fern traerá herramientas adecuadas de repuesto para abrirlas. Aunque ¿Vale la pena adentrarse tanto para conseguir unos pedazos de metal? Con lo que había en los primeros pisos ya debía valerle para renovar herramientas y equipamiento, y sacar un buen pellizco en el mercado. No estaba metida en tema de ciencias así que no sabía que objetos de valor podría sacar de los laboratorios. Podría investigar sobre ello más tarde, cuando termine de investigar que hay aquí primero.
A más se acerca al centro más se iluminan los pasillos, hasta tal punto que Fern no necesita más su linterna y la apaga, de momento. Hay líquidos escurriéndose por las paredes y goteando de las grietas del techo. Curiosamente hay menos marcas de humedad de las que uno se imaginaría, no hará mucho que se hayan formado las goteras. Las puertas de aquí parecen estar en mejor estado que las de antes, posiblemente sean más complicadas de abrir si a esta zona le llega electricidad y están funcionando mejor que la de antes. Igual tendría que ver si encuentra alguna tarjeta más abandonada por ahí.
Esta zona es más abierta... y la pared parece curvarse. Hay una puerta... ¿de castillo?? Como las que verías en dibujos animados o cuentos infantiles, con una corona de rayos de sol a modo de marco de puerta. No es de madera, pero es algún tipo de material duro que Fern no logra identificar. Hay un panel lector para tarjetas al lado del marco. De entre la rendija de las puertas sale una luz.
...
¿Es este el centro?
Fern agarra uno de los pomos de la puerta y tira de el. Oye un sonido como de carriles moviéndose dentro al abrir las puertas. Lo que hay al otro lado debe ser la habitación más rara y grande que ha visto desde que entró al edificio. La mayor parte del suelo es acolchado y colorido excepto por la entrada y unos metros cuadrados más de suelo que está embaldosado en patrón de ajedrez. Donde el suelo embaldosado hay mesas de seguridad con ordenadores, máquinas de algún tipo y material de oficina. Donde el suelo es acolchado hay estructuras de parque de juegos infantiles, con tubos, toboganes, piscinas de bolas... Por encima de la piscina de bolas hay como una torre de cuento en la pared con un balcón, unas cortinas rojas tapan la entrada. Ni idea de cómo se llega hasta ahí, debe haber un acceso desde otra parte. Por el suelo hay cajas de juguetes y peluches... rotos, pero ordenados por tamaño y color, parece, algunas cajas cilíndricas coloridas están colocadas en torre. Solo lo que hay por el área de juego parece ordenado, todo lo que se sale del suelo acolchado está notablemente sucio, desordenado, básicamente un desastre. Las luces del techo parecen salir de vigas y tienen forma de nubes, no todas están encendidas, algunas parpadean. En el centro de todo hay una torre de cables que asciende hasta perderse por encima de las luces en la oscuridad del techo.
Fern entra en la sala, aun observando el sitio. Aunque la columna gigantesca de cables y tubos del centro le llame mucho la atención, su interés cae sobre los ordenadores de al lado. Las pantallas están encendidas pero no enseñan nada, solo un color azul cían solido y unas lineas horizontales atravesando la pantalla de vez en cuando. Los ordenadores pueden estar rotos pero podría haber una posibilidad de repararlos o sacar las piezas y darles uso... o hasta venderlos como antigüedad.
...
Fern se siente observada. Levanta la vista de las máquinas hacia las estructuras de juego. Un chirrido de carriles moviéndose. No ve nada. Deja los ordenadores a un lado y se acerca al área de juego. Otro sonido de carriles. Fern se gira a mirar de dónde ha salido el sonido. Detrás de la torre de cables. Fern saca una navaja extensible del bolsillo y procede a rodear la torre. Otro chirrido. Acompañado de otro ruido proveniente de la piscina de bolas. Fern se acerca. Hay una hilera de cables saliendo de la torre y entrando en la piscina. Aaaam, ¿ok...?? raro... Sube al puente que sale de la piscina, sin entrar se asoma a mirar por encima.
Podría solo haber sido una rata pero Fern probó a llamar “¿Hay alguien?” navaja en mano “¿Hola-?”
“¡HoOOO-” Una figura alta, desproporcionada y delgada emerge de repente de la piscina acompañado por el tintineo de unos cascabeles, mandando varias bolas a volar creando una lluvia al rededor suyo, algunas bolas cayendo fuera de la piscina. Sus brazos extendidos en el aire a modo de saludo y una sonrisa enorme en la cara con dientes desviados. Unos 'rayos de sol' en forma de triángulos alargados asomaban al rededor de su cabeza “-LA!” Un animatrónico sol.
“¡AAAH-!” Fern gritó, echándose a atrás. El robot se congeló en la pose y se empezaron a oír los ruidos de un procesador funcionando, la sonrisa no abandonaba su rostro, ojos blancos fijos en Fern, solo hizo un par de movimientos que paraban a mitad de forma brusca como si se hubiera pausado y resumido su animación. No debió registrar su reacción, porque siguió hablando como si Fern no hubiera gritado del susto.
“¿-N-nuevo amigo-? Oh-o-OH-¡¿Eres nuevo-?! AMIG-NUEVO AMI-” *SCRRRR SCRRA SCRRRGGGH KKKKRRR* Volvió ha congelarse mientras algo de su sistema interno hacía un ruido que sonaba a 'algo va mal' y volvió a continuar como si nada “¡¿Quién eres-?! ¡No encuentro tu perfil-! ¿-Tienes perfil??? ¿¡Has venido a jugar!? ¿Has venido por la rutina de mantenimien-? ¿¡Eres un nuevo técnic-!? ¿¡Podemos jugar AHORA!? ¡Podemos-! ¡No estás en el registro de empleados-! ¡Necesitas un registro-!” Sus brazos se extendían hacia Fern intentando alcanzarla. Fern reculaba, intentando mantener el mayor espacio posible entre ella y el robot. El no dejaba de acercarse, sin parar de sonreír, sin dejar de penetrarla con la mirada, sin parpadear “¡-perfil- necesitas un-! ¡No puedes realizar ningún procedimiento- o manipular- ningún- *srsrsrrsrsrsrsrsrrckrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrk* delamarcaFAzbear- *krkrkrkrkrkrnnnnnnnnnnrr* ¿¡Te hago un perfil-!? Necesitas u-” Su ventilador empezó a sonar muy fuerte “¿¡Cómo has podido entrar- sin un perfil-!??? ¿Trabajas aquí? ¿¡Cómo has entrado-!? ¿¡Qué haces aquí-!?” Fern chocó su espalda con la torre de cables y levantó su navaja para poner distancia entre el robot averiado y ella “DETECTADO: OBJETO PELIGROSO ¿¡ES ESO UN ARMA!? *VRRRRRRRRR*” Una expresión de pánico sustituyó su sonrisa, su ventilador cada vez sonando más fuerte “¡NO PUEDES TRAER ESO AQUÍ! NO PUE- NO PUEDES- NO- *krkrkrkrkrkr* LAS NORM- *krkrkrNNNNNNNNNGGGH* EN CON-CONTR- *NNNNNNNNNGNNGNGGNGN-* PELI- RSSO-” Dejó de formar frases coherentes y empezó a soltar palabras medio cortadas entre ruidos de procesador sobre calentándose.
A pesar de los claros problemas que estaba experimentando sus movimientos no se detenían, cada vez más cerca. Una mano robótica se dispuso a agarrar el brazo de Fern, planeando quitarle el arma. Fern agitó su navaja apartando la mano y por fin rompió a correr.
“¡AH-! eeeh-eh-e...! ESPERA” Gritó el sol mientras Fern huía hacia las puertas “¿¡Por qué corres!? ¿¡A dónde vas-!? NO-ESPERA-¡Esperaesperaesperaespera!” Corrió detrás de ella. Fern salió de la zona de juego y atravesó las puertas. “ESPERA-vuelve- lo sien...” Cruzó los pasillos como una bala ignorando los gritos que cada vez se oían más bajos. No se dio cuenta de que lo había dejado atrás hasta que dejó de oírlo y los pasillos volvían a estar oscuros.
Fern finalmente paró a tomar aliento, mirando atrás asegurándose de que lo había dejado atrás. Vocalizando entre jadeos “¿Qué...co...jones...? ¿...qué...cojones? Dios... ¿qué coño...ha sido... eso...?” Se sienta contra una pared a descansar. No se había dado cuenta de que ha estado apretando fuertemente la navaja en su mano y ahora le molesta un poco, si no fuera por los guantes hubiera visto sus nudillos blancos.
08:48
Ha pasado un rato. Tras calmarse y beber un poco de agua Fern decide volver a ver que pasa con el sol y por qué es el único animatrónico activo (visto hasta el momento) del lugar. Pensando en ello, seguramente no ha querido asustarla, posiblemente. Ha estado mucho tiempo abandonado aquí, normal que esté dañado. Si su procesador es salvable y su IA recibe uno o dos arreglos podría usarlo de ayuda. Pero si ese fuera el caso ¿Qué tendría que hacer? no puede dejar abandonado un robot con autonomía, y mucho menos en estas ruinas, parte de Fern se sentiría mal pero no puede llevárselo ¿Dónde lo metería? ¿A dónde lo llevaría?
Ese parece un problema para la Fern del futuro.
Será mejor mantener la navaja, y posiblemente cualquier tipo de arma guardada. Había mucho movimiento y ruido en el momento pero Fern cree recordar un cambio leve en el comportamiento del robot al descubrir la navaja. Más errático, más ansioso, ni podía formular palabras completas. Igual si iba con calma y consigue ella calmar al robot pueda hablar con el y descubrir que pasó aquí. Y por qué está activo.
Está llegando de nuevo a las puertas de castillo. Están abiertas, como Fern las dejó. El robot podría haber salido y andar rondando el edificio, pero algo le decía a Fern que no era así. Despacio, sin hacer ruido, se acerca a las puertas, se asoma y sus ojos escanean la sala pero no encuentran al sol. Fern decide entrar, piensa en llamarle pero se echa atrás al oír otra vez el chirrido y los raíles. Si ese sonido viene de él entonces seguía aquí.
...
Fern decide adentrarse más en la sala. Quería comprobar una teoría y para eso necesitaba que apareciese, y algo le decía que si se quedaba en la puerta no iba a aparecer. Pone un pie en el suelo acolchado. No se oye nada. Se adentra más en el área de juego, los cables sueltos que entraban en la piscina de bolas ya no están ahí, posiblemente estén conectados al robot así que lo lógico sería buscar hacia dónde han ido. Partiendo desde la torre central los cables parecen dirigirse hacia detrás de la estructura de juego, Fern se acerca a seguir la linea de cables.
*creeek*
Un chirrido. Fern se da la vuelta. Otro chirrido. Vino de la torre. Mirando alrededor se percata de que los cables salen de la estructura de juegos y desaparecen detrás de la torre. Fern se acerca, rodeando la torre despacio, precavida, siguiendo los cables. Una mano metálica agarra su hombro “Estás... aquí...”
“¡AACK-!” Fern gritó mientras apartaba bruscamente la mano de su hombro y echaba a correr hacia las puertas.
“¡No, espera, otra vez no!” Fern sale de la habitación y se vuelve a mirar dentro sosteniendo las puertas, lista para cerrarlas. Pero parece que no hará falta.
El robot no ha pasado del suelo acolchado. Mira el suelo embaldosado en frente suyo con preocupación, su postura está encogida como si no supiera que hacer a partir de ese punto o algo malo fuera a pasar si pisa una baldosa. Sus brazos encogidos contra su pecho, se agarra las cintas rojas que cuelgan de sus muñecas. Sus ojos alternando entre mirar a Fern y el suelo hasta que por fin se decide a hablar.
“a...a-...s- ¡...Estás aquí!” Dice con júbilo extendiendo los brazos y vuelve a poner una sonrisa, forzada... no, ¿Genuina? “¡Estás aquí otra vez! ...a- y-yo- esta- tu- *skrrrrrrrrr kr kr kr* ¡Has vuelto! ¡Y estás aquí y has vuelto y pensé que no volverías y-!” gesticula muy ampliamente “¡-Y-y- lo siento- siento haberte asustado- DOS VECES!” hace énfasis sacando dos dedos de la mano “Lo siento... es solo que- ¡Hacía mucho que no veía a nadie! ¡O hablaba a alguien! ¡O tocaba! ¡Y me EMOCIONÉ MUCHO! ¡P-porque estabas ahí! ¡Y te he tocado! ¡Y si estabas ahí! ¡Y yo-! *skr...skr...skr...skr...* ¡Y pensé que no ibas a volver! ...Pensé que no ibas a volver.” Sus hombros se caen y su cuerpo pierde todo movimiento, se queda mirando el suelo, murmurando. “Y entonces pensé que había espantado a mi nuevo amigo y que no iba volver ¡Pero entonces oí pasos! ¡Y sentí algo! ¡Y eras tú! ¡Y me alegro tantísimo! *sKNNNGNGnnn...*” Vuelve a quedarse quieto, con una sonrisa un tanto espeluznante y la mirada clavada en Fern.
Fern mantenía silencio. No sabe muy bien como reaccionar después de haber escuchado todo eso. Lo único que se le pasaba por la cabeza era que este robot mostraba tener autonomía y claros signos de estrés, ansiedad y soledad. No puede dejarlo aquí pero tampoco sabe si puede ser peligroso o solo es muy hiperactivo. Claramente está alterado. Ahora que Fern se fijaba, una mano era más esquelética que la otra, le falta toda la carcasa del brazo izquierdo y tiene la cinta mal atada con su cascabel. Tenía partes del endoesqueleto expuestas, su carcasa estaba dañada por muchos sitios y sus ropas de bufón tampoco estaban mucho mejor. El pantalón de rayas rojas y amarillas estaba desgarrado, la pierna izquierda abierta por una brecha que atravesaba de abajo a arriba, una cinta adhesiva cerca de la ingle evitaba que se extendiera más la brecha, parecía que los pantalones se mantenían en su sitio por un cinturón que no era parte del traje. Los cables provenientes de la torre central y desperdigados por el suelo parecían acabar en la parte de atrás de su cabeza.
El sol empezó a mirar nervioso entre Fern y el suelo otra vez “H-ey- a- ¿Po...p-podrías acercarte?” Su postura se vuelve a encoger, manos contra su pecho.
“...¿Qué?”
“¿Podrías acercarte? ¿P-p-por favor?”
“...” Fern echa una mirada al suelo, a los pies del robot y luego a él “...No puedes pisar el suelo embaldosado ¿Verdad?” El sol perdió la sonrisa y bajó la mirada al suelo, tras unos segundos asintió con la cabeza.
Volvió a mirar a Fern “No... puedo. E-está fuera de limites. No puedo.” Su sonrisa forzada volvió “P-pero tu puedes acercate ¿Podrías acercarte? ¿Por favor...?”
“No” Verdaderamente Fern no pensaba hacerlo.
“Ack-! *knnnnnnnnn skrskrskrskr* ¿P-p-p-por qué?!?”
“Estoy muy bien aquí, creo que me voy a quedar en la puerta.” Dijo mientras soltaba las manillas y se sentaba en el suelo cruzando las piernas “Además, no quiero que me vuelvas a agarrar.”
“¡No te he agarrado, no lo hice!” Hizo un gesto con la mano, replicando el movimiento que hizo cuando tocó a Fern “¡Solo toqué tu hombro! ¡Posé la mano en tu hombro!” ¿Realmente solo posó la mano en su hombro? Había pasado hace nada, Fern recordaba notar más presión de la necesaria. Aún sentía los dedos de metal clavándose en su hombro derecho.
“Ya... yo no lo recuerdo así.” Fern se llevó la mano al hombro “Me has estado intentando poner las manos encima desde que me has visto.” El sol fue a abrir la boca para decir algo pero se echó atrás *kknnnnnnnnnnn* parecía estar pensando en que responder, se veía tenso. Fern también estaba pensando en que podía hacer para calmarlo y poder acercarse, pero parecía que a la mínima oportunidad que lo tuviese cerca se le iba a echar encima (y para tu información, Fern, tu actitud tampoco está ayudando que digamos).
“No deberías sentarte en el suelo.” dijo el sol.
“¿Eh?”
“*skr skr* N-no es bueno *skrrr* que estés sentado en el suelo. Te vas a-a-hacer daño ¿Por qué no *skrrrrrrrr* te sientas aquí en el área de juego? El suelo es más blando, eso sería mejor...” Fern le frunció el ceño “¡O-o-o-” El sol miró hacia los lados, señaló las mesas donde Fern estuvo mirando los ordenadores antes “-podrías usar una de las sillas de oficina, dónde las mesas de seguridad!” Sonrió, su sonrisa esta vez parecía más sincera “¡No tienes autorización para estar ahí! Pero...” Miró nervioso a las sillas, luego a Fern “¡No pasará nada por usarla un poco! Hasta que vengan los guardias de seguridad... ¡Pero no le diré a nadie! ¡Palabra!” Levantó la mano en gesto de promesa “Solo, no toques nada... se enfadan mucho cuando la gente toca algo, y luego me gritan...”
“No, estoy bien, gracias.” Esa silla estaba peor que el suelo, y Fern no se quería alejar de la puerta. Se oyó un *skrrrrrrrrnnnnnn knnn knnn krkrkrkr* del robot, eso no le había gustado. El sol volvió a mirar entre Fern y la silla, finalmente se quedo mirando el suelo. La forma en la que dejó caer sus 'rayos' recordaban a las orejas de un animal entristecido “...” “Hey”
“¿Huh?” Volvió a levantar los 'rayos' expectante.
“¿Por qué no te sientas tu? ...y así estamos los dos sentados.” Dijo Fern intentando hacer la situación menos incomoda. Se le ocurrió que si estaban los dos a la misma altura se aliviaría un poco el ambiente.
“...No necesito- *Knnnnnnn skrskr* ... ¡-Vale! Si, si, vale...” Se arrodilló lentamente en el suelo. Miró a Fern y luego volvió a fijar su vista en el suelo. “...” “Lo siento...” Volvía a disculparse “Lo siento, se que te he asustado y que no te fías de mi y lo siento, lo siento mucho.” Apretaba la tela del pantalón donde las marcas de desgaste encajaban con sus dedos, sus hombros se encogían “...Por favor no te vayas.”
“Nah, soy muy vaga para levantarme ahora.” Dijo en otro intento de convencerlo de que se iba a quedar para tranquilizarlo.
“Por favor no te vayas...” Repitió. Sonaba como si fuese a llorar.
“... No me voy a ningún lado.” Volvió a intentar, reclinándose hacia atrás y apoyando su peso en las manos “...Palabra.” Fern imitó el gesto con la mano que el robot hizo antes, como promesa.
*Knnnnnnnnnnn* El sol se quedó mirando la mano de Fern, luego a ella “Te...¿Te quedas?”
“Si, me quedo.” Fern desvió la mirada a un lado, pensando. Volvió a mirar al robot “...Por un rato. Hasta que tenga que irme.”
“*knnnnnnn*¿Cuando te irás?”
“Eh... posiblemente dentro de unas horas. Así que... eso, podemos hablar.” (Pero madre mía Fern, hija mía, alma de cántaro, más ánimos.)
*skr- skr- skr- knnnnnnn* El sol parecía estar procesando la información. Fern le miraba expectante de que empezase a hablar en cualquier momento.
...Hubo silencio por un minuto. Fern decidió hablar.
“¿Y cómo te llamas?”
“¿Cuál es tu nombre?” Dijeron prácticamente a la vez.
“Ah-”
“Oh- *skr skr skr*.”
Fern le hizo un gesto de que empezase el.
“Yo- a- *knnnnnn knnnnn knnnnn knnnnn* n-no ¡Puedes empezar tu!” Dijo el robot, con un constante sonido de *knnnnn*.
“Am, vale. Mi nombre es Fern. ¿Tú?”
Un *kr kr* interrumpió el sonido anterior y volvió a oírse únicamente el *knnnnnnn*. Se quedó callado por un rato. Entonces se decidió a hablar “¡Fern! ¡Oh, es un nombre muy bonito! Te pega, si...*sk sk knnnnnn* ¡Oye, oye, Fern...! ¿Qué es lo que te gusta hacer-? ¿A qué te gusta jugar? ¡¿Tú color favorito-?!”
“¡Alto, alto! ¿Vas a decirme tú nombre o me voy a quedar sin saberlo?”
“Am... *skr skr skr* un... *knnnnnnnn* un momento-” otra vez ese *knnnnn*, otro minuto en silencio “...” “¡Oh! ¡Hey, hey! ¿Te gustan los espectáculos de marionetas? ¡Soy muy bueno haciéndolos! ¡O te puedo enseñar a hacer marionetas si quieres-!”
“Lo que me gustaría es saber cómo llamarte ¿No... sabes que es de mala educación preguntarle el nombre de alguien y luego no presentarse?” Dijo intentando presionarle a decir su nombre.
“¡Oh! *skr skr* ¡Mi nombre! *skr* ¡Si, mi nombre!”
“...”
“...”
“...”
“*skr... skr... skr... skr... skr...*”
“E-”
“¡¿Te gusta pintar?! ¡Puedo sacar unas pinturas y papeles podemos pintar juntos-!”
“¡Tú nombre! ¿Cómo puedo llamarte?”
“¡Oh-! ah...¡Puedes llamarme cómo quieras!” Dijo mientras acomodaba su postura, sentado cruzando las piernas como Fern “Puedes usar un mote ¡O motes! Si quieres ¡Me encantan los motes! ¿A ti te gustan los motes? ¿Quieres un mote? ¡¿Te pongo un mote-?! ¡Vale!” Se llevó la mano a la barbilla pensando “Vamos a ver...”
“No sabes tu nombre ¿Verdad?”
“ng... *sknnnnnnnnnn*” Su cabeza hizo un tic y se quedó congelado en la postura mirando hacia un lado. Unos ventiladores empezaron a sonar “nn...m...s...seh...l... L-lo-lo- ¡Lo sé! Está- ¡Está aquí! ¡Aquí! ¡En mi sis-! *skgghghrghrghrrrr* -TEema... eh... ah...” Parece confuso, sus ojos se mueven como si estuviera leyendo algo en el aire “no...” Sus hombros se caen con decepción, lo que sea que estuviera buscando en su sistema no parecía encontrarlo “no puedo...” Murmura.
“¿...Puedes decirme tu código? El nombre de tu modelo me refiero.”
*skgkg-* “...” “No puedo dar ese tipo de información a personal no autorizado o no empleado por Fazbear Entertainent” Dijo con una voz monótona. “...” “No tiene sentido como nombre,” rió “es aburrido y difícil de pronunciar.”
“¿No tienes un nombre por el que te llamaban aquí?”
“Am...” Su ventilador vuelve a sonar.
“...” Fern recuerda haber visto algo escrito en los pósteres que vio antes, algo de sun...¿drop? Miró alrededor. Esos mismos pósteres estaban aquí también, por las paredes y mesas junto a otros que parecían mas desactualizados. 'Sunnydrop', decían los pósteres, aunque parece más bien el nombre del caramelo que promocionan. “Eh.”
“¿Hm?”
“¿Y si te llamo 'Sun'? A secas, por el momento. Como una versión corta del póster ese de ahí.” Dijo Fern señalando con la cabeza a la par que con el pulgar “Y porque, bueno... literalmente es la forma de tu cabeza... no es muy original pero...” (No pienso pronunciar ese nombre entero cada vez que quiera referirme a ti) “no sé ¿Te parece?”
Mira entre Fern y el póster hasta que sonríe y asiente vívidamente con la cabeza “¡Vale, si!¡Llámame Sun!” Parece contento con la idea. El ventilador y el ruido de su procesador se han reducido. Fern ya tiene nombre para el animatrónico sol, Sun, irónicamente. “¡Me gusta! ¡Oh, me gusta el mote que me has dado!” Sus 'rayos' dan una vuelta alrededor de su cabeza seguido de unos *clics* y *tics* ¿Eso era para expresar felicidad?
“Hey.”
“¿¡Si, amigo!? Ah-¡oh! ¿Está bien si te llamo amigo?” Parecía nervioso otra vez. Fern iba a tener que tener el mayor cuidado hablando con Sun si a la mínima se alteraba por algo como llamarla 'amigo' en vez de usar su nombre.
“Si claro, llámame como quieras. Oye ¿Cuánto tiempo llevas aquí?” Posiblemente no la mejor pregunta con la que empezar pero Fern tenía muchas preguntas acerca de este sitio y sobre todo de Sun.
“¡Unos-! Ah... *knnnnnnnn skr skr skr skr* desde...*kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr* ahhh... *skr skr skr srk*”
“Vale, para para.” Tras unos momentos Sun paró como indicado, junto con el ruido del procesador, y miró a Fern con curiosidad y un sentimiento de haber hecho algo mal. “A ver ¿Cuánto tiempo... llevas encendido? Desde la última vez que te volviste a iniciar.”
“¡Oh! ¡Puedo responder a eso! *knnn krkr kr skr...* Cuatro...mil... *skr skr kr-* doscien...tos...noventa y...¡OCHO! Días. Desde mi último reinicio... Ah- no- bueno... Desde mi último reinicio total. No necesito realmente apagarme pero a veces me hacen falta reinicios... Estar unos minutos (u horas) 'apagado' ¡Oh, pero desde entonces he estado bien!¡Funcionando perfec-*skgrah*-tamente! *skr*.” Osciló su puño hacia un lado con energía y una sonrisa, ignorando la llamada de socorro de su sistema.
“...Ya ¿Y esos ruidos que salen constantemente de ti? No suenan muy bien que digamos.” Tiene razón.
“¡Ya lo he arregla-!*skgrr-*¡Ya lo he arreglado! A-a veces pasa y no me doy cuenta ¡Pero siempre lo arreglo!” “...” “¡S-sé que te has asustado antes un poco! Y-y que- ¡Y que he actuado raro! lo...¡lo sé! Lo siento...¡Pero ya está! ¡Estoy funcionando perfectamente!” Volvió a oscilar el puño, esta vez con menos entusiasmo “...En serio...”
Fern miró a Sun pensativa “Antes... En la piscina de bolas. Los ruidos eran mucho peores y constantes, y te congelabas en cada movimiento o a mitad de palabra ¿Te pasa a menudo? ¡No soy una experta!” Fern levantó las manos a modo de excusa “Pero yo no llamaría a eso 'funcionar perfectamente'.”
“¡H-he- dicho que ya lo he arreglado! *skrgggrggrgr- kr kr*” Ahí estaba otra vez.
“Se está volviendo preocupante ¿Sabes?” Si no lo era ya antes.
Sun agitaba la mano en negación “¡Nadanadanada-!*skrrr* ¡No es nada, no es nada! *kr kr*” Repetía una y otra vez entre fuertes ruidos de procesador, a más le entraba el pánico más longevos se volvían los ruidos “¡Ya ya ya! ¡Yastá-!¡Ya está! *skr krr-* ¡Ya! *skrrrrr- kr- kr- kr-* ¡Ahora, ya-! *sknnnnnnnnn skrGRRRrrAH* ¡YA BASTA!” Sus ventiladores estaban volviendo a entrar en marcha junto con el ruido de forma alarmante. Sun empezó a producir un sonido que asemejaba a hiperventilar. Al entrar en pánico le estaba pidiendo mucho al sistema interno y se desestabilizaba (Oye Fern, la parte de tener cuidado con lo que dices, no ¿no?).
“¡Vale! Vale, calma. No pasa nada.” Fern se incorporó hacia delante alzando las manos, aún arrodillada en el suelo. Sun le miraba mientras enredaba las manos entre si. “No pasa nada...” Intentó pensar rápido que decir “Has dicho que llevabas... como cuatro mil y pico días encendido.”
“*Skr skr*...Cuatro mil doscientos noventa y ocho... *skgr*” Frunció el ceño al oír ese último ruido.
“Cuatro mil doscientos noventa y ocho días, vale. Y en todo ese tiempo ¿Has visto a alguien más a parte de mi? ¿Has recibido mantenimiento o algún mensaje de ellos?”
Su expresión pasó a mirar con desconcierto a Fern. Empezó a jugar con las cintas de sus muñecas “No... No, pero-” Intentó volver a mostrar una sonrisa “-pero está bien, ¡He estado cuidándome mucho-mucho-mucho-! ¡Y he tenido mucho cuidado! ¡Y he prestado atención a las alertas! ¡Y así no tendrán mucho trabajo por delante...! Para... cuando vuelvan...” “...” “Están tardando. Es...-tán tardando mucho en volver.” Empieza a balancearse en el sitio, hacia atrás y hacia delante “¡Pero está bien! ¡Porque cuando vuelvan-*skrgrgrhs* cuando vuelvan- yo-! *skrgr* ¡Me he estado portando bien! Me he estado portando muy bien.” De repente bajó el tono de voz. Miraba el suelo mientras sus manos aun jugaban con los lazos, enredándolos entre los dedos “He sido bueno. No tendrán que preocuparse y podrán volver a su trabajo. He sido muy bueno. Estoy funcionando perfectamente. No hay ningún problema. Estoy bien. Ya lo he arreglado *skrnnnnnnnnn*” De nuevo el ruido “Ya lo he arreglado, ya lo he arreglado ¡Ya lo he arreglado!”
“¡Vale! Vale. Muy bien, te creo.”
Sun alzó la vista y tensó hombros... y sus 'rayos'. Se veía sorprendido, como si se hubiese olvidado de que Fern estaba ahí “*Skr skr skr skr skr skr skr skr* ¡Oh-! Oh.” Miró el lazo que tenia enredado entre los dedos por un momento, lo desenredó y volvió a mirar a Fern mientra sus manos seguían jugando “Yo- he- ...lo siento.”
“...Me estaba- solo me estaba preguntando, cómo... es que-” '¿Cómo sigues funcionando después de tanto tiempo?' era lo que quería preguntar Fern entre mil cosas. Pero viendo la expresión de Sun, esa mezcla entre estrés, miedo y de alguna forma entusiasmo, solo por estar ahí presente, con alguien. Fern decidió dejar sus preguntas de lado “¿Sabes qué? ¿Por qué no me preguntas tú algo?”
“*skr skr*¡Oh! ¡Ya te he preguntado un montón de cosas antes! ¡Aún no me has respondido a esas~!” Dijo con un tono más animado.
“Perdón, no las recuerdo ¿Me las repites?” Mejor empezar ganando su confianza.
La postura de Sun se tensó inclinándose hacia delante, apretaba los puños con entusiasmo y sus 'rayos' se encogieron y extendieron haciendo un efecto de ola al rededor de su cabeza, hizo un sonido de inspiración “*GAAAASP* ¡¿Qué es lo que más te gusta hacer-?!¿A qué te gusta jugar-?¿A qué sitios te gusta ir-?¡¿Cuál es tú color favorito-?!¿Tú canción favorita-?¿Tú comida favorita-?¿Te gustan los espectáculos de marionetas-?¡¿Te gustaría qué te enseñase a hacer marionetas-?!¿Te gustan los motes-?¿Te gustaría que te pusiese uno-?¿Te gusta pintar-?¿Podemos maqui-?”
“¡De uno en uno! No puedo quedarme con todo.” Fern le cortó antes de que continuara su lista interminable de preguntas. Sun volvía a tener esa mirada de culpa con sus 'rayos' caídos. Antes de que empezara a disculparse Fern continuó “¿Qué es lo primero que me quieres preguntar?”
“Am- eh-ah- *knnnnnn*¡¿Qué es lo que más te gusta hacer en el mundo?!”
“Humm...” Fern se paró a pensar. Podría dar una respuesta aleatoria para avanzar rápido la conversación pero quería ser sincera. Y le estaba costando porque no se acordaba de qué era lo que más le gustaba hacer. “Supongo que... uuuuuhh... ¿dibujar? Aunque- bueno no dibujo mucho realmente.”
“*kr kr*¡A mi también me gusta dibujar! ¡Y pintar! ¡Y las manualidades! ¡¿Cuál es tu juego favorito?!” Sun saltó a la siguiente pregunta.
“Buff, ah...” Fern no era buena recordando sus propios intereses. Es difícil cuando no piensas en ello a menudo, o nunca “No creo tener un juego favorito... Mmmm-me gusta cuando el juego usa cartas... pero no sé.”
“*skr kr kr* ¡Oh! También me gustan los juegos de cartas ¡¿Cuál es tu color favorito?!”
“Naran...ja...? No... Bueno, si pero igual el amarillo pastel... aunque también me gustan algunos tonos de verdes, y morados.”
“*skr skr kr*” Sun parecía estar tomando nota de todo lo que decía Fern antes de hacer la siguiente pregunta “¡Puedes elegir más de uno! ¡A mi me gusta el azul cielo!” Que irónico “¿Cuál es tu comida favorita?” Si no fuera por el entusiasmo que desprendía al preguntar y esperar a la respuesta, Fern hubiera pensado que Sun se la estaba devolviendo por hacerle a el preguntas difíciles antes. Podría ser, pero difícil de creer con los botecitos que daba en el sitio mientras sonreía de emoción.
“A ver... No sé- me gustan las comidas saladas, y algunas cosas ácidas pero... No sabría decirte cual es mi favorita”
“*skr* Oh, bueno... ¡Me gustan los cupcakes!”
“¿...Cómo puedes tener comida favorita?”
“¿Por qué no tendría???”
“¿Es que puedes comer? ¿Estás hecho con la capacidad para ello?”
“*kr knn* ¡Ojojo! No, no los puedo comer ¡Pero me gusta cómo se ven! ¡Creo que son bonitos! ¡Hay muchas formas de decorarlos...! *skr kr kr* ¡Oh! ¡También me gustan las galletas caseras! ¡Puedes darles la forma que quieras y decorarlas y también las puedes hacer de colores!” Lo que parecía gustarle a Sun era el proceso de hacerlas, tiene sentido.
"Ja.” Fern mostró una sonrisa a modo de entendimiento.
“... *skr krkrkr skr kr*” Le tomó un momento hacer la siguiente pregunta “¿Te gusta la música? ¿Tienes alguna canción favorita?” Cada vez parecía más relajado hablando.
“Me gusta pero am... no sabría decirte... nunca he elegido una como 'la favorita' ¿...sabes?”
“*SKRRR* ¡N-no tienes que elegir! N-no estás obligado *skr kr*” Sun debió notar a Fern molesta, pero no era por él. Lo que a Fern le molestaba era no ser capaz de dar una respuesta segura. “¡A todo el mundo le cuesta elegir a veces-! *kr* ¡Hay un montón- montón de canciones y músicas! Como para elegir solo una... ajaja..” Rió.
Siguió con el bombardeo de preguntas sin descanso. Sun hacía las típicas preguntas básicas de niños cuando recién han aprendido a hacer amigos y parloteaba de diversos temas de juegos. Fern intentaba meter alguna pregunta 'discreta' sobre la empresa Fazbear y Sun, pero se ponía nervioso al ser incapaz de responder y colgarse, así que volvían a cambiar de tema y hablar de intereses personales.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Ha pasado un rato largo.
“*knnnnnnnnn*... ¿Tienes... tienes un lugar favorito?” Sun preguntó mostrando un poco de timidez.
“...” A Fern le tomó un rato contestar “Su-pongo que... ¿Mi casa? No lo sé...”
“... ¿N-no tienes... un sitio cómodo? ¿Un sitio donde te sientas más cómodo que en otros?”
“Je, si, mi cama...” Sus respuestas cada vez eran más vagas.
“¡Oh-! *skr* jeje... ¿Eso quiere decir que no eres muy madrugadora?”
“En verdad si que suelo madrugar pero ¿Quién no está cómodo en su cama ¿Sabes? Además, me levanto temprano por obligación. No es que pueda simplemente quedarme en cama y no hacer nada.”
“*krkr* Oh... jaja, claro...” Hubo unos segundos de silencio incómodo hasta que preguntó “¿Eh... e-e-estás aburrido?¿T-t-te-e-stás aburriendo-?” Se empezó a oír su ventilador.
Fern le cortó antes de que empezase a divagar en pánico otra vez “¡No no! No es eso... es que-” quiso explicarse pero no encontraba palabras “no sé. Supongo que- estoy un poco cansada, y en las nubes. No me esperaba... esto” Señala con la mano en dirección general a Sun.
“¿...Ah?” Sun inclinó a la cabeza a un lado en confusión.
“O sea se... es que...” Vine a robar material y chatarra vieja “Entré aquí esperando explorar un poco e irme y ahora estoy... aquí sentada. No me esperaba que fuera a responder preguntas sobre mi o de mis gustos personales a cerca de material para manualidades.” Miró a Sun “...O a mantener una conversación con un robot” Sun frunció un poco el ceño a eso último “¡No es por menospreciar! No esperaba encontrarme a nadie cuando entré aquí”
“¡No no-! no es eso- ah- ¿Por qué no te esperabas a nadie??” Sun preguntó con genuina confusión “Siempre hay un montón de gente aquí trabajando ¡Sobretodo de día!”
“...” Oh, tío. Eso “ah... Sun” Es mejor que lo sepa ahora cuanto antes ¿...no? “Creo que... ya no viene nadie aquí.”
“¿...?” Sun miraba a Fern con desconcierto pero mantenía una ligera sonrisa.
“...”
“...”
“...a-”
“AJAJA-” Sun se rió de repente. Su postura y sonrisa se habían congelado, su mirada clavada en alguna parte detrás de Fern.
Ella sabía que no le estaba mirando, se tambaleó hacia los lados e hizo varios gestos con los brazos y poses para comprobarlo. El *knnnnnnnn* que empezó a sonar confirmó a Fern que seguía funcionando y no se había roto de repente, quizás solo le dio un error y estaba procesando una respuesta. “¿...Sun?”
“JA-” *SKRGKRrrgkk...* parecía que le había dado un espasmo por un momento. Su cabeza se inclinó y se oyó un *clic* mecánico, al poco su cara hizo una rotación completa seguido de más *clics*. Su sonrisa volvió a agrandarse manteniendo su expresión de preocupación, se llevó las manos a los tobillos y empezó a tambalearse de al ante hacia atrás rítmicamente. “¡Tonto-tonto-tonto-tonto-tonto-! *sKRKRrrg* ¡OOOOH que tonto-! ¡Eso es muy tonto-! ¡AJA-ajA ja-! ¡No digas chorradas!” dijo de forma risueña.
Fern solo podía mirar a Sun con desconcierto y pena.
*skr* Paró su tambaleo y relajó su tono “No seas tonto, amigo ¡Por supuesto que aún viene gente! ¡Tienen que venir y hacer su trabajo! ¡Su trabajo es muy importante! ¡No lo dejarían todos tan de repente!”
“¿...Se ha pasado alguien por aquí en los últimos años?” Fern preguntó, preocupada por la respuesta.
*skrKR* “¡Has venido tú!” respondió alegremente al instante “¡Tú estás aquí! ¡-Ahora mismo!”
“...Sun” uff “¿Ha venido más gente aquí a parte de mi en los últimos años?”
“...” *skrkr skr kr kr kr...* Su sonrisa se iba cayendo pero no desaparecía por completo “Seguramente.... estén trabajando en otra parte del edificio ¡-S-si *kr*, tienen que estar muy ocupados! ¡Trabajando! ¡En otra- parte...!” Se empezó a escuchar un *kr kr kr kr* bajo “Por eso... debe ser que... ¿¡No eres un técnico nuevo verdad!?”
“¿¡!?” Eso pilló a Fern por sorpresa “Am- nop.”
“y-y-y-¡Y- no has visto a nadie desde que has entrado aquí! ¿¡Verdad!?” *skrskrskr*
“¿...no-?”
“¡Por supuesto!” *SKR* El tono medio-alegre-medio-nervioso volvió “¡-Por supuesto que que no has podido ver a nadie! ¡No trabajas aquí! ¡No puedes tener el horario de trabajo ni saber dónde pueden estar-! ¡No puedes saberlo- aJAja-!” Si Sun notaba las miradas de preocupación que le mandaba Fern debía estarlo ignorando.
“Y-ya vale, pero- de acuerdo... y... ¿No has pensado... que llevan mucho tiempo sin pasarse a echarte una visita?” Fern mostró una pequeña sonrisa preocupada. “¿-No llevas mucho tiempo sin verlos?”
“¡CÓOOmo he dicho antes- están ocupados- no necesitan venir a verme ahora! *krkrkr* ¡Debe ser que no necesito que se me examine de momento! ¡Debe ser eso jaja! ¡No eres de aquí así que naturalmente no lo sabes! ¡No sabes en que están trabajando! ¡No te preocupes- no te preocupes-!”
Fern solo podía pensar en que esto iba a ser más complicado de lo que ya parecía en un principio. El robot siguió con su paranoia de que este sitio seguía en marcha. Algo se iluminó en su rostro, como si hubiese recordado algo.
“¡A-además- ellos dijeron que volverían mañana! ¡Así que está bien! ¡Volverán!”
Eso llamó toda la atención de Fern “¡Espera- paraparaparapara-! Te dijeron que volverían ¿Mañana???”
Sun asintió vívidamente con la cabeza “¡Mhm! ¡Eso fue lo que dijeron!” Se mostraba más alegre.
“Pero- en plan ¿Mañana-mañana?”
*Sknnnnnnnnnnnn* Ah, uno de los varios sonidos de pensar “¡Dijeron que volverían mañana!” Suelta eso y se queda tan ancho, con una sonrisa en la cara.
“Entonces ¿Me estás diciendo... que han hablado contigo hoy?”
“¡Oh, no! Hoy no les he visto...”
“Te han mandado un mensaje entonces.”
“No no, no he recibido ningún mensaje en un tiempo.” *skr*
“...” Dios mío de mi vida “Te... dijeron la fecha en la que volverían ¿Y esa fecha es mañana?”
“¡No, tonto!” dijo entre risas “¡Te estoy diciendo que me dijeron que volverían mañana!”
Fern se había quedado perpleja. Por fin estaba consiguiendo sacar aunque fuera una pizca de información y se había metido en un bucle con el robot. Pero espera- “Sun ¿Hace cuánto te dijeron que volverían mañana?”
Sun se quedó cayado, el único sonido audible el *knnnnnnnnnn* largo y tendido que parecía hacer cuando pensaba. Clavó los dedos en la tela del pantalón cerca de sus tobillos y no se movió más. Pasó un rato y aún seguía inmóvil, pensando. Empezó a repetir una secuencia de ruidos como si se hubiera trabado en sus pensamientos y de repente el sonido paró. Se le cayó la sonrisa, su cuerpo perdió toda la tensión que lo mantenía erguido y se desplomó hacia un lado.
Fern se sobresaltó “¿Sun?” No parecía responder “Ay, Dios...” justo cuando pensaba en acercarse a comprobar si estaba bien, Sun se incorporó dejando sonar un montón de *clics* y *tics* mecánicos mientras sus extremidades volvían a colocarse en su posición natural. Se podía oír el ventilador funcionando y al rato los *skr skr* que había estado haciendo todo el tiempo que estuvieron hablando.
Finalmente levantó su vista para mirar a Fern. Parecía volver a funcionar normal. “...” “...” “...HOOOO-” o casi “-LAAA... *SKGrkrgr* ¿-N-nuevo amigo-? Oh-o-OH- ¡¿Eres nuevo-?! ¿¡ERES AMIGO!? *kgr*” Esto me suena... Sun se levantó de la emoción, no dejaba de dar botes en el sitio “¡¿Quién eres-?! ¿¡Cómo te llamas!? *skgr* ¡No encuentro tu perfil-! ¿-Tienes perfil??? ¡OH! ¿¡Eres el nuevo compi de juegos!? Espera ¿Has venido por la rutina de mantenimiento-? *kr- kr-* ¿¡Eres un nuevo técnico-!?” Y volvemos a empezar “¿Podemos jugar? ¿¡Podemos jugar AHORA!? ¡Podemos-! ¡No estás en el registro de empleados-! ¡Necesitas un registro para-! *skgrkrkrkr* ¿¡Cómo has podido entrar sin un perfil!??? ¿trabajas aquí-?” Se paró en seco y miró fijamente a Fern. Sus pupilas blancas la escaneaban de arriba a abajo “*skrgrkrg* *GASP* ¡Tú no trabajas aquí! ¿¡Cómo has entrado-!? ¿¡Qué haces aquí-!? ¡INTRUSO! ¡EXTRAÑO! ¡AAA-!” Sus rayos se tensaron, Sun empezó a correr en círculos gritando “¡ALERTA DE SEGURIDAD! ¡ALERTA DE SEGURIDAD! ¡WOO WOO WOO WOO!” Y a imitar sonidos de alarma. Sus gritos se mezclaban con los ruidos de su procesador y ventilador. Fern solo podía mirar en asombro y desconsuelo el panorama.
“Sun.” Intentó llamarle pero el seguía haciendo 'woo woo' mientras corría y hacía piruetas por el suelo. “¡Sun! ¡Hey!” Ni caso. Eventualmente volvió a solo dar vueltas en circulo mientras se dedicaba a gritar 'PELIGRO PELIGRO' una y otra vez. “¡Sun! ¡Oye! ¡SUN!” Se paró pero no por Fern. Se había vuelto a congelar en su animación, su cabeza y manos rotando en el sitio, soltando chispas de la fricción. Ya solo repetía 'ERROR ERROR' sin parar con una voz monótona.
Fern entró en pánico, dio una vuelta sobre sí misma mirando alrededor, buscando algo. Localizó una pelota vieja y polvorienta detrás de una silla y se la tiró a Sun con fuerza dándole en la cara. De alguna manera esto hizo que parase por completo, Fern observó en silencio esperando a que pasara algo pero Sun se mantenía inmóvil sin emitir sonido. Unos segundos después el ventilador volvió a sonar junto al resto de los ruidos habituales, le tomó un rato iniciarse. Cuando finalmente lo hizo volvió a fijar la vista en Fern escaneándola de arriba abajo.
“...” “*GASP* ¡Nuevo ami-!”
“AH- ¡NAH-no-no-no-no-nah-! ¡No vamos a volver a pasar por esto!” Fern le cortó antes de que volviera ha empezar con todo otra vez.
“...a-...ami-go-...” Eso lo había dejado en shock. Agachó los rayos y su postura se encogió. Se oía el *vrrrrrr* del ventilador.
“¡S-Si- si... amigos! Somos amigos” Decir eso parece que ayudó a mejorar su animo. Sun fue a abrir la boca para hablar pero Fern fue la que lo hizo antes “¡Antes de que digas nada-! Am... No, no trabajo aquí y no tengo perfil. Si, me he colado, ah- no actives las alamas todavía, no tengo ninguna mala intención...” Eso último era parcialmente mentira “No te alteres ¿Vale? ...No queremos que te vuelvas a apagar de golpe y colapsar.” Sun se tensó al oír eso pero hizo como indicado y mantuvo la calma, por el momento “Hemos estado hablando por las ultimás- TRES HORAS.” Fern miró su reloj, habían pasado más de tres horas y le estaba costando un poco asimilarlo, pero volvió a mirar a Sun que estaba expectante de las palabras de Fern. Tomó una inspiración y continuó “Vale, mira, hemos estado hablando mucho tiempo y ya me has preguntado de todo sobre mi ¡D-deberías de tener esa información grabada en algún sitio en tu memoria! Ha pasado hace nada.” Hizo una pausa para ver si Sun había pillado todo lo que dijo y le dio un momento para buscar dicha información. Se oían los *skr skr* de pensar y el ventilador. Al de un rato dejó de hacer ruido pero el jugueteo nervioso de sus manos dejaba a Fern saber que no había colapsado otra vez “¿Recuerdas algo de lo ocurrido en las últimas horas?” Preguntó.
Sun parecía haber salido del trance en el que estaba metido y empezó a mirar entre sus manos, las mesas de ordenador y Fern. “*skr- skr-*...aah...ah...” pasó el jugueteo de sus manos a las cintas “¿...sssssii?? uh- *SKRG* no- *kr* no debería dar- *sKRGRRGKRgrrss*” Oh no... se ha vuelto a congelar- “¡Si! Si ¡Por supuesto! Ja- ¿Cómo iba a olvidar-?” Volvía a tener esa expresión entre feliz y al borde de un ataque “¡No he olvidado nada! ¡No he olvidado nada-! ¡No te preocupes! ¡Todo está aquí-!” Levantó su brazo haciendo una oscilación con un dedo apuntándose a la cabeza “¡Está aquí! ¡No he olvidado nada- nada! Solo ha tardado un poquito en cargar- jaja...” Sun sonreía incómodamente mientras Fern le miraba con preocupación y seriedad “¡Sip, t-toOODo en orden! *-skrgr*” Confirmó una última vez.
Fern dejó escapar un suspiro de cansancio. Miró preocupada el reloj de su muñeca. Las 12:11 “Vale... de acuerdo mira, llevo- ya mucho rato aquí, debería irme-”
“¿¡Qué-!? ¡No no! *-kgrkgrgr* ¡Por favor no!” Yyyy Sun entró en pánico otra vez. “¡No te vayas! ¡jajA-! ¡Yo- Am- Puedo-! *SKGR* ¡P-puedo-puedo-puedo- l-lo- que sea! ¡Puedo hacer lo que sea-! ¡Lo que quieras-!” Su voz se entre cortaba con estática y soltaba jadeos entre súplicas, sus rayos estaban temblando. Fern trató de decir algo pero solo se oía como un murmullo entre los gritos desesperados de Sun “¡No te vayas aún, por favor! ¡Aún es muy pronto! ¡No me dejes solo! ¡No quiero estar solo-!”
“¡VOLVERÉ!” Fern finalmente levantó la voz.
“¿...eh?”
“Escucha.” Fern se aseguró de que tenía la atención de Sun “No puedo quedarme más ¡Simplemente no puedo! Ya he estado más tiempo del que pretendía aquí y tengo mucho que hacer. Así que...” Suspiró y miró a Sun. Mantuvieron contacto visual “...por hoy me voy, y mañana vuelvo ¿De acuerdo?” Vio confusión en la cara de Sun, por el sonido de *Knng* y la forma en que inclinaba su cabeza no parecía haber entendido. Repitió otra vez, gesticulando con las manos a medida que hablaba dejando claros los puntos. “Hoy: me voy. Mañana: vuelvo... ¿Entiendes?” Dejó pasar unos segundos para ver cómo respondía.
Tenía las manos juntas, rascando con un dedo la unión de un nudillo de su mano expuesta. Sus ruidos se oían a un volumen más bajo y los rayos de su cabeza se recogían y salían haciendo un movimiento de ola. Finalmente reaccionó “ah...uh-... v-vale... vale... *skgr* a-¡Si! De acuerdo... vale...” Asintió con una sonrisa tímida “*skr... skr...* am- yo-... si-¡Si mi amigo dice- *kr* dice que va a volver, va a volver-! Ajaja...” Intentó volver a una voz más alegre. Sonaba a que lo decía más para si mismo que para nadie. “¿Ver...da... amigo?”
“Claro.” Fern asintió inclinando la cabeza a un lado.
“...” “¿...Lo prometes...?”
“Si.”
“¿...Prometes que volverás a estar aquí mañana?”
“Si, volveré a estar aquí mañana.”
“¿D-de verdad?”
“Si, de verdad.”
“¿Lo prometes de vera-?”
“¡Que si!” Sun dio un salto a atrás, sus rayos y sus hombros se encogieron y miraba con miedo a Fern. “Perdón...” Suspiró “Lo prometo. Prometo de verdad, de veras, de verdad de la buena que volveré. Mañana por la mañana te prometo que estaré aquí mismo.” Sun miraba a Fern expectante “...” “Palabra.” Fern levantó la mano a modo de promesa. Sun imitó el gesto “¿Vale?”
Su expresión se iluminó, los rayos volvieron a salir y su postura se relajó “Vale ¡S-si, vale! ¡N-nos veremos mañana!” Confirmó.
Fern se tranquilizó al oír a Sun entenderlo por fin y soltó un suspiro de alivio “Vale, pues... voy volviendo ¿De acuerdo? Chao.” Se despidió mientras se dirigía hacia las puertas.
“¡Ah! Eh... ¿Puedes cerrar las puertas al salir? Las puertas tienen que estar cerradas si no hay nadie...”
“Claro.” Agarró las manillas de las puertas y las empujó.
“A-am- ¡-N-nos vemos!” Dijo agitando su mano en el aire.
“Nos vemos mañana.” Fern confirmó por última vez “Adiós, Sun.”
Sun se quedó ahí parado, saludando tímidamente al aire, observando como su nuevo (aparentemente) amigo desaparecía tras entornar las puertas falsas de castillo. Dejó de saludar “...” “¿Quién es Sun?”
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Fern estaba de vuelta en el primer ascensor, el que no funcionaba y, naturalmente, no se había olvidado de su querida y muy extrañada palanca. Hizo una larga bajada hasta el fondo del foso por las escaleras de la pared para recuperarla y volver a subir. Suspiró, “Para la próxima, me traigo dos palancas.” Volvió a subir al techo del ascensor y entró por la trampilla de emergencia para llegar al piso B2. Tras salir se paró delante de las puertas a mirar el estado de la palanca con más calma 'vaya, está bastante bien para haber caído desde 30 me-' *SKREEEEEENNNNNNGG* Fern se encogió al sonido y se dio la vuelta para mirar el ascensor.
*SKREEENNNGG NNNGG NNNGGGGGGGgggggggggg.......*
*...*
*...*
*...*
*BOOMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............*
“...”
Fern miraba ojiplática el hueco del ascensor ahora vacío. Miró la palanca en su mano. Decide guardarla y volver a casa. No vamos a pensar en cómo se a salvado por los pelos, no. Llega a tardar unos segundos en salir y se convierte en puré, en el foso de un ascensor, en unas instalaciones abandonadas, de un edificio que no conoce ni su madre, en mitad de la nada ¡Nop! No vamos a pensar en eso, mejor vamos saliendo. Por las escaleras, todo recto a la derecha. Aire fresco allá va.
Nada más salir Fern sintió una presión liberarse de su cabeza. Apenas alejarse unos metros de la entrada sintió que tenía que sentarse y quitarse la mochila antes de llegar a donde había aparcado su aerodeslizador, necesitaba aire limpio. El aire fresco le ayudaba a despejarse y a aclararse las ideas. No se había dado cuenta hasta ahora del agobio que sentía estando ahí dentro, a parte del susto del ascensor de hace nada, que también la ha hecho sentir angustia.
Mira el reloj, son pasadas la una del medio día, debería comer algo si va a conducir de vuelta a casa después de todo lo que ha caminado, escalado y corrido. Se levanta del suelo y arrastra la mochila junto a su cuerpo para desplomarse en el coche y poder comer ahí. Le cuesta un poco más subir la mochila con el peso extra de las herramientas que ha ido recolectando por el camino de vuelta (hey, han sido gratis). Se quita los guantes y hurga en su mochila para sacar una navaja-multiusos, la lonchera conteniendo el pollo con arroz que se ha preparado de madrugada y una manzana, parte del arroz se ha pegado a la tapa de la caja y lo rasca con el tenedor. Está unos minutos revolviendo la comida hasta que por fin decide llevarse una porción a la boca.
Aunque decidió no preocuparse por el momento, Fern no puede evitar pensar en el robot atrapado y abandonado en el fondo del edificio... que vuelve a estar solo. ¿Debería volver mañana de verdad? Si, lo prometió, pero ¿Qué diferencia habría si simplemente hiciera como si no hubiera pasado nada? ¿Qué consecuencias podría haber-? De hecho- Fern estaría sufriendo consecuencias por hacerse responsable de un robot defectuoso y dañado. Los robots de por si ya son un ojo de la cara de mantener y la falta de gestión de derechos de bots no ayuda, no hay nada que les proteja; no hay forma de conseguirles un buen seguro, sobre todo a modelos de hace 5 años. Si tu bot es más viejo que eso más te vale tener un manual completo metido en la cabeza de cómo solucionar cualquier absoluto daño o problema que pueda sufrir, porque si no, estáis bien jodidos los dos.
Hablando del tema ¿Cómo se supone que iría Fern a reparar un robot tan roto como lo está Sun? Especialmente uno hecho por Fazbear Entertainment, los capullos hacen sus propias herramientas y piezas únicas de uso exclusivo de su empresa. No puedes encontrarlas en ningún sitio. Sería imposible de reparar uno de sus animatrónicos a no ser que hiciera cada pieza a mano y- am- no. Gracias. ¿Está Sun siquiera en condiciones salvables? ¿Valdría siquiera la pena? Incluso en el hipotético caso de que consiguiera salvarlo ¿Qué haría después? No tiene espacio en casa para un robot de más de 2 metros. Está el refugio de máquinas, si, pero...
...
¿Podrían ayudarle siquiera? Sin piezas compatibles o intercambiables lo dudo mucho. Se acabaría convirtiendo en chatarra inservible. No muy distinto de lo que le espera ahí dentro. Realmente no habría ninguna diferencia entre dejarlo aquí o llevarlo a la ciudad.
Nadie sabe que está ahí.
...
Fern lo sabe.
...
Pero nadie más sabe de su existencia. ¿A quién le importaría?
...
Está ahí abajo sufriendo y nadie lo sabe.
...
Fern lo sabe.
...
Sin darse cuenta había dejado de comer y solo jugaba con el tenedor. Vamos a ver, en una mano tenemos: a un robot dañado, defectuoso e hiperactivo en unas instalaciones abandonadas en muy mal estado a... échale hora y media en aerodeslizador de distancia de la ciudad, sin mucha posibilidad de reparación ni supervivencia dentro o fuera del sitio, por no hablar de la falta de conocimientos sobre su modelo. En la otra mano tenemos: culpabilidad.
Por un lado: Fern no se sentiría bien simplemente dejándolo aquí, Sun tiene autonomía y en el tiempo que se han estado conociendo ha demostrado suficiente inteligencia para tener opiniones propias y hacer decisiones por sí mismo, tiene claramente una IA desarrollada por lo que es capaz de sentir emociones; en otras palabras, su sufrimiento es real y es moralmente incorrecto dejarlo así. Por otro lado: no sabría dónde ponerlo, como se ha dicho antes, en casa no hay espacio y Fern no tiene ni los recursos ni el tiempo para encargarse de él, no lo aceptarían en un empleo o empresa porque él ya pertenece a una, además con mala fama. El refugio es una opción pero no ayudaría mucho, podría acabar convirtiéndose en una cargar y puede que no se acabe llevando bien con los otros bots que ya están ahí.
¿Qué ganará al final? ¿La racionalidad o la moral? ¡El aplastante y tormentoso sentimiento de culpa! ¡Por supuesto! Es por eso que Fern está sentada echa una bola perforando con la mirada el arroz con pollo a medio comer sin poder decidirse. Podría aunque sea intentarlo. Intentar... algo. Aunque sea ¿Ir a visitarlo? Ya le prometió que volvería mañana. Como mínimo tendría que ir a verlo mañana, no tiene por qué ir siempre, tampoco tiene por qué repararlo ¿Tal vez hacer compañía sea suficiente? Por las pintas no parece que le quede mucha esperanza de vida... Oh Dios, realmente se está planteando hacer esto.
De momento, Fern va a preocuparse de terminar su comida y conducir de vuelta a la ciudad. Lo pensará mejor cuando haya llegado a casa.

This is so neat! Makes me wonder if theyre eyes are real, how do they glow? How does that work?
Also, will you be continuing this as anything? Or just sharing illustrations right now?
-Eve
Thank you!
Don't think of real as in 'real human eye' but as in 'inorganic animatronic eye converted into organic animatronic eye', the glow is somewhere in between LED and bioluminescent (I see the confusion).
I think of it as an inverted cyborg, instead of a human replacing parts of their body for mechanical ones, a robot having parts of their body replaced for biological ones.
Honestly, idk. I have a story but I'm not good at writing (unless you don't mind a really crude writing and updates every 100 years because I'm slow at everything). I guess for now are probably just going to be drawings and ocasional sketch comics. Maybe I alternate between the forest elves and biomáquina (maybe helps me with the burnout)

for the Biomáquina AU!! I loovee it! so Moon is - like in books- made to be a bit mess up- be a bit of an "evil" one. but due to the whole " deleting many personalities" and him fighting to stay alive, Im guessing ,he is just not happy with the humans in general - no? also! is they are two in one body- do they know the other exist? does Sun know Moon? how do Sun feels about it? and so sorry last one! how mess up is Moon? adoro tus ideas! tus vision del personae en si y tu arte!! sos genial!!
Thank you!
I kind of prefer the idea of Moon being a bastard for no reason lol.
He doesn't hate humans. He almost didn't realize the other personalities were being erased, he just saw how something was pulling him out of existence and said 'no fucking way' and just didn't die. But has no resentment against humans.
They know of the existence of each other but can't interact, due to Moon being push and locked away by the tech and scientists. Sun knows Moon being out is not good. He doesn't remember if he ever at some point was able to talk to him, he can't communicate with him, it hurts. Everything that comes to be Moon Sun feels confused about it, like, they share a body but not quite a mind, Moon is bad, if they are the same that means that he is bad but he's not, everything would be better if Moon wasn't there but he doesn't want him away, thinking about losing Moon feels like losing himself to Sun.
Moon doesn't distinguish stage from reality, in other words he's in a constant state of acting. Since he was originally meant to be the evil personality, the antagonist, the bad guy, he was conditioned to seek peoples negative reaction, the booing, jeer, insults. Kids usually don't like bad guys for being the 'bad ones' so a sign of doing his job right would be the jeer of the public. He likes when people hates him so he mess with people.
Muchas gracias! (^ᴗ^)

Biomáquina AU
I have questions!
-do Sun and Moon have hearts?
-are Sun and Moon separate or one?
-how long have they been alone?
-what were they build for?
Thank you for the new brain worm! I will be thinking about this for a hot minute.
-Yep (I guess everyone saw this coming lol), it didn't completely convert into one but it can be considered a real heart.
-One. No light on/off mechanic but an internal clock. (But they have a LOT of semi-identical clones)
-Around a decade.
-Originally theater/spectacle, an actor who would do every character in the script. The idea was to have several personalities and each personality would do their corresponding role. This ended up pretty bad the moment they gain consiousnes, their "brain" started getting messed up, all confused. They(techs) tryed erasing the personalities leaving just the original (Sun, suposed to be the most estable), Moon somehow stayed (holding on for dear life). Someone from the higher ups decide it was a good idea to make Sun and Moon child care takers and no one could tell them no. They couldn't stop Moon from terrorizing anyone who would interact with him so they set their internal clock to be day time constantly so only Sun would stay out (even though Moon would come out sometimes at night hours).
So they ended up as daycare attendants but never finished their trainings, the main reason being the cancelation of the project.
Glad you liked the AU!

i have a couple questions about your Biomáquina AU bc it’s literally so scrumptious
so when it comes to sun and moons personality’s how close are they to in-game? and just yk how they are in general. like are they still all about rules n stuff? does moon still have a type of virus?
i could’ve just interpreted it wrong but is this story set in like a dystopian world-ish? or just mostly more on a ‘futuristic’ side?? idrk
when it comes to fern and sun first meeting (i think u said fern meets sun first i could be wrong sorry) was either like wary of one or the other? or like we’re they both just like surprise to see someone there lmao
i find this au really cool thank u sm for sharing
-🍎
Thank you!
As close as I can make them with a lil' tiny bit of headcanon. Sun: stressed anxiety bean barely keeping it together, Moon: gremlyn, asshole <3
They do, since Sun's been conditioned to follow the rules, Moon does not care that much but there are a few things that get on his nerves if they are out of place.
Moon does not have a virus but other thing is messed up in his head, it has to do with how they've been conditioned to act like.
The world's not quite dystopian (I imagine something steam/dieselpunk + humanity is living encapsulated in citys with almost no contact with the outside world so nature can heal, except for the part where the government throws the trash outside of the city into the nature), it depends on the city. The higher you are in the city the better life quality. Fern's not at the bottom but lives close.
Yes, Fern meets Sun first. And both, they where both wary and surprised, Fern more wary and a little scared, Sun more surprised, anxious, exited, scared, confused.
Thank you for asking!

I was thinking about my BIOMáquina AU, and it's a DCA centric story, the others animatronics exist in the AU but won't be present (probably).
But I thought about how would be a story about the main band and how would I add Bonnie with the new lore dropped by the dlc and I got some funny ideas if you want to read them
VVV
Ok so, biomáquinas (máquina = machine, I just like more how it sounds in Spanish :P) are these robots with hyper realistic look and feeling, they are machines with real functioning organs made out of actual metal components, converted into organic. They can bleed, eat, but also can modify and replace their parts.
Fazbear Entertainment was looking for the most real feeling they could give to their animatronics and started experimenting with biotechnology.
Well their experiments made the animatronics be TOO real. One day they found a BIOMáquina Bonnie prototype being brutally ripped apart by a BIOMáquina Monty and someone said:
"Who the fuck decided that it was a good idea to experiment with all the animatronics in the same place when we are using real animals DNA?! We literally have predators next to preys! For God's sake-!"
And so they separated the animatronics in different facilities. I imagine a conversation where two employees discuss how to make them meet each other because they are supposed to be a group and friends. Something like:
"Ok- so... Monty needs A LOT of training yet so we can't introduce him to the rest. Roxanne and Freddy are a maybe but- still- we can't be so trustful that another incident won't happen"
"I think Freddy would be good to go and meet Chica and the next Bonnie"
"Why Freddy?"
"I mean... You know that we are using actual animal DNA... And that bears are extinct, well- the specie Freddy is based on is, so... The lab guys discussed about- if using a mix or so of other bear species... And they ended up giving him a mix with dog DNA"
"...What?"
"Yup"
"Really?"
"He barks sometimes, but it turned out great for training! They tryin' to do the same with Roxy... but eeeeehh... she's having an attitude towards it"
This was funny in my head, I'm also sleep deprived (sorry if my English here is bad)
Take this as an explanation of why in the main story there's no glamrocks appearances, haha.

Question, when it comes to your Suns and Moons, do you see/make/prefer them as brothers, lovers, close friends, friends, or anything else? Or is each of your AU’s/versions a bit different like one is brothers while a different one is friends?
(I’m just mildly curious)
It depends if I make them separated or share a body.
In my human and elves version I made them separated so they are brothers.
In the steampunk and biomáquina they are together and are robots so it's a little more complicated what kind of relationship they have. Except for romance, it could be all of the above or something else, it could be a bitter relationship where they don't like each other but need each other company.
Whatever the universe is I only see them as platonic.
I think I've said (or insinuated) on a few occasions that I don't ship any characters. Non-cannon ships in general feels off to me, I'm just unable to see romance unless the characters actually start showing signs of it in cannon.

Gracias! Me alegra haber conseguido tono para el ambiente.
Tengo un poco de conflicto con Fern, porque soy yo pero independiente ...y con estamina ...y echándole huevos a las situaciones. Así que se me hace como raro ver que a la gente le ha caído bien bfdsfsfksrndbswhr. En fin, el auto odio lol.

Ok so this is a question pertaining to your uhh forest elf Audible of sun and moon. Kinda for moon, but also for sun! So if a kid like got lost in the forest and got through the magical rock entrance and got blasted in there, how would they react? Would moon still do his whole naughty naughty thing and attack the kid for being a threat to the forest, or would he be kind and gently? How would he handle the situation of a lost child? I can already imagine sun, lmao, I bet he'd be all over the lil nugget playing with them and hugging, I bet they'd be the best of friends! Btw, uh if ur not taking requests for this is anymore, sorry you can delete this. Hope you're having a good day, drink water :)
Not every human that enters The Forest is a threat to them. There are bad and good people, and The Forest knows that, and knows that a human with bad intentions wouldn't be able to hurt enough The Forest to cause damage. Humans don't live more than a week there anyways.
Having said that, Moon wouldn't attack the kid because he sees it as a threat, but to accelerate a process. He would still act scary and hards with the kid and drag them to The Depths of The Forest, like with everyone else (he's still more gentle with young kids than with adults). He's not very... mentally ok at the point where the story begins.
Sun would be playful and jump excited around the little one, yes. Not every human end ups liking him and sometimes he has to turn down his enthusiasm at first for them. The humans usually, besides lost, are scare and sometimes paranoid. Sun won't make physical contact unless necessary or with permission from the human. And the elves are very tall, humans, kids especially can get easily scared of them and run away.
Thank you for the ask! And don't worry, I respond to anything I can say about my AUs.
With the elves I was very anxious at the beginning because it was my first AU (that I made public), it was very much self indulgent and I didn't know how to talk to people (still don't know), so when it got popular so suddenly I felt very overwhelmed. But I'm good now and it's ok to ask me about them.

So about your forest elves AU, is there an alphabet/language key anywhere because in your first post, it stated that you made a new language purely for that AU and I’m wondering if you have a key for it?
I did made an alphabet but I never posted it.
The idea was that the elves where going to use it every now and then, for private conversations, but the reader would never know what they saying until the story was finished, then BAM I would post the alphabet and people who reread it would be able to decipher it and understand what the elves where saying and maybe see the scenes with other perspective.
It'd be easy to translate and understand, I used real language to make the words.
Sadly, I got artblock after finishing writing the first chapter's script and I'm not so comfortable with how it came out so I don't know if the alphabet will ever see the light.
