Yeah, yeah. You're... I don't know what you do half the time. I was gonna offer to...

Nevermind that. See you tomorrow?

Real helpful.

You're gonna go, what, stalk someone in a bush somewhere, then?

{ Small laugh. }

{ As if on queue, the bell rings. Shift over. Thank Freddy. She stands, stretching her arms up in the air. }

Wasn't too bad.

{ NC }

I'm gonna kiss that bunny one way or another. Might as well be my call.

... grrreat.

{ Yaaawn. }

{ Time's stretching on, for her. Fending off threat after threat. How fun. Howww. Fun. }

{ It's boring, at this point. It feels like things toned down a bit. }

...

{ Giggling a bit at Vanny... }

Are you good, man?

... mhm.

{ Continuing onto her duties. It was a bit of a selfish offer, really. She was thinking to herself. "The costume's probably fluffy, right?"

And, well... she isn't used to guests. Better have extra factors close. }

I'm giving you an offer. If you get scared... just, get close. I'll protect you, even if I... don't-- exactly like you.

I've seen em' a bit. Supposedly, it's something about Luigi's brother.

I dunno. Boss is real... well, he's something.

...

{ Thinking, for a moment. }

You can always just... huddle up close to me if you get scared. }

They get real restless when it's /me/, for whatever reason.

You scared?

I don't know. You seen how the boss looks at him? It's like they got some rivalry.

Fuck, I forgot about him.

... mhm.

{ Back to focusing. She glances up at Vanny every once in awhile, though. Seated in her little chair... }

{ NC }

I came first, so... I did.

...

You alright, over there?

"Nothing but nice". Mhm...

{ Adjusting her hat. Time to get started. Pulling up the cameras. She gets into that rhythm. Check here, handle there... it's like clockwork. }

{ Jesus, this kid'll kill her one day. }

You're being too selfless. I'm telling you "no", Jeremy.

I swear -- ugh. Ok, fine. You can "help". Just... stay out of my way, yeah?

Last thing I need is you "accidentally" leaving the door open.

I'm not letting you get mauled because I have trouble on my nights, Jeremy. I'll be fine. I've worked here long enough to know how to handle myself.

You stick to your candy, ok? I'll take care of it.

You don't want me to answer that.

{ A yawn. She's tired, even more than usual. }

How badly do you want to help ... ?

...

{ Jeez. Partially, she wants to say "yes", but she's also imagining a bunch of robots tearing the poor boy to shreds when they realize he's associated. }

You don't have to.

Don't give me that.

{ She sighs, dragging her feet as she moves towards the console. }

You going to be here all night?

They try to kill me every night. Like REALLY try to kill me. I have to do a juggling act and walk on a tightrope while my eyes are pried open to even get my paycheck in the morning.

Hey.
