Chapter 4: Day 2-Hi and Goodbye, Vincent

The drive was silent and awkward. Sinakumi was frozen to her seat. Sailor was thinking about what she said to her. It was a big punch in the stomach, I know. Thought Sailor as she takes a glance at Sinakumi's pale face. But that's what I think is the truth. What I hope is that this isn't the real truth. There has to be more. Why would Scott be after someone so rookie as Sina? How can she top him? For some reason Sailor couldn't get the fact that Scott's after Sinakumi out of her head.

Sinakumi: "Where you going? The house's that way..."

Sailor: "Hey, y'know for code name...I started thinking of calling it '87."

Sinakumi flinches. Sailor sighs, relieved. This meant that Sinakumi hadn't totally lost it, or she snapped back to her normal self. Sinakumi started talking normal again with Sailor and for some reason, had gotten onto the topic of the letter Sinakumi sent.

Sailor: "But...what DID you write in that letter? What did you do to set Scott off?"

Sinakumi: "I don't know...all I wrote was outta pure confidence that I'd beat him-"

Sailor: "Beat him? Beat him in what?"

Sinakumi: "Not in anything, really, more like I was gonna top him."

Sailor: "And you were so confident."

Sinakumi: "I now have tons of confidence-"

Sailor: "-like you never did in the first place-"

Sinakumi: "-that we're gonna live and get OUT of here."

Sailor: "Maybe that's what up with him..."

Sinakumi: "What?"

Sailor: "Your letter sounded so persuasive to Scott that you had some sort of secret weapon, that he literally thought that you might top him. So he decided to destroy the competition before it became a bigger threat or realizes what a threat she IS."

Sinakumi: "...Was there some sort of Scorpio special story that I missed about terrorist tactics that I apparently missed?"

Sailor: "Oh no, if that was the case you would've quoted it before me. And how interesting that I remind you of a terrorist."

Sinakumi: "Sailor...you're starting to scare me."

Sailor: "Ha...oh, here we are."

Sinakumi: "Coldstone....?!"

Sailor parked outside of a Coldstone ice cream parlor. She glanced at Sinakumi...she saw her drooling a little. They went inside and ordered some ice cream. Sailor couldn't decide between strawberry or cookies and cream...so she bought both with caramel drizzled on top. Sinakumi, completely forgetting about the all the cash in her pocket, had only bought a new cake batter flavored ice cream with Kit Kats.

Sinakumi: "Hey Sailor..."

Sailor: "*slurp* Yas...?"

Sinakumi: "When we get out of here...if we get out of here...maybe one of us should go on Wattpad and write this story up."

Sailor: "Huh...imagine how many viewers will see this..."

Sinakumi: "Might not be as popular as your Star Crossed Myth fanfic, but good enough for us..."

Sailor: "Yeah...I need to make some major updates for that one...where did I leave off...?"

Sinakumi: "Somewhere...like...wait, did you forget?"

Sailor: "Being haunted by moving robots who suddenly morph into model like pop stars sorta seems a bit much for the average human, don't ya think?"

Sinakumi: "But we're not average. At least not anymore."

Sailor: "That's not what Scott thinks..."

They fell silent after that. Sinakumi went up to get a second cake batter and Kit Kat. Sailor sat in the booth they settled in and waited.

???: "Is this seat taken? The rest of the parlor is quite full."

Sailor looked up to see a man in a black suit with the strangest tint of color in his hair. Sailor wondered if it was just her eyes, or the man's hair was slightly...purple? His eyes were pitch black, empty, and seemed to bore into Sailor's soul. His slight purple hair was wrapped in a small ponytail, not even passing the nape of his neck. His smirk instantly reminded Sailor of some version of Leon in Zyglavis' body. (Star Crossed Myth reference)

???: "Hello, miss?"

Sailor: "O-oh, right...uh, sure, have a seat...I'm waiting for a friend..."

???: "Thank you. My, is this place busy, is it not?"

Sailor: "Yeah..."

She spied out Sinakumi in the line, picking out her topping. Sinakumi made eye contact her and her eyes darted to the mystery man who now sat across from Sailor. Sailor quickly looked back at the man, who was now eating his order of plain vanilla ice cream, no toppings.

Sailor: "Is that all you'll be having?"

???: "I am not rich, as I can see you are."

He eyes her two ice cream cups.

Sailor: "It's my money. I can do whatever I want with it."

???: "Very interesting..."

Sailor narrowed her eyes at him. Something about his voice seemed familiar. Something about him seemed dangerous. Also...something about his entire well being made Sailor's mind half register some sort of Anime fight starting up. But she mentally stops herself.

Sailor: "Hello...my name is Sailor Pisces, night guard of the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza."

She holds out her hand for a shake. The man's eyes widen, making Sailor satisfied. Her brain was running fast, one conclusion came to mind. The man slowly shook Sailor's hand, and she gripped it tight. Sinakumi just came back and was thinking the exact same thing. Both girls steeled their expression and returned his smirk.

Sinakumi: "Let me guess, you're Vincent. The second Phone Guy."

Vincent: "So you girls are the night guards. Interesting...very interesting..."

Sailor: "Geez, is everything just interesting to you? Sina, sit down."

Sinakumi sat next to Vincent, blocking his exit. He realizes what they're doing and shakes his head.

Vincent: "I would've never thought that I'd see you girls in the flesh. Nor seeing how suspicious you are of me."

Sinakumi: "Oh, zip it, you know exactly what goes on in the pizzeria."

Vincent: "And what if I do?"

Sailor: "Oh, you do. Why're you doing this to us?"

Vincent: "I think you know why."

Sailor: "WHAT GAVE YOU THE IMPRESSION THAT WE KNOW SOMETHING WHEN YOUR CUT-CLICK, COMMAND BRAIN CAN'T COMPUTE THE FACT THAT WE DON'T!?"

Vincent: "Now, there is no need to yell."

Sinakumi: "...Yell all you want..."

Sailor: "...What?"

Sinakumi: "Look..."

Sailor looks around the ice cream parlor and sees that everyone, despite her outrage, is acting all normal and cheery...totally not matching the extremely tense atmosphere. They both turn back to Vincent and see that he had a smirk on his face.

Vincent: "This, as you can see, is all part of a game. Something we are all part of."

Sailor: "Why do we...why does Scott want us to be part of this?"

Vincent: "He doesn't...he wants you out of it."

Sinakumi: "Why are you here?"

Vincent: "That...is a good question."

Vincent was starting to look glitch-y and made out of static. Sinakumi immediately regretted sitting next to him, as she started feeling her body being sucked to where Vincent started disappearing. But it was all over in a few seconds.

Sailor: "He's...he's gone!"

Sinakumi: "...S-Sailor...? I bet...I bet that he...wasn't supposed to tell us that stuff..."

Sailor: "Are you saying...are you saying that HE...Scott...DELETED him!? That would mean that he's watching us at this very moment...!"

The two girls slowly turned away from the missing Vincent and started at each other in horror.

Sinakumi/Sailor: "...He is."

*****

Sinakumi: "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NONONONONONOOOOOO!!!!!! I'M NOT STEPPING BACK INTO THAT PIZZERIA!"

Sailor: "Well...look, you even can't, it's closed."

Sinakumi: "What? But...why...?"

Sailor squinted at the sign that hanged in front of the door.

Sailor: "'Maintenance check, power outage...reloading pizzeria'...!?"

Sinakumi: "Because Vincent's gone!"

Sailor: "...Maybe we won't do tonight."

Sinakumi: "Not likely. We'll be here until night 5."

Sailor: "Yeah...then we'll get out of here..."

Sinakumi: "I was thinking more like we'll die and never see Shippensburg again."

Sailor: "Ye-no...we're gonna get out alive and finish college. Have a good job with a good boss, eat Pocky, settle down, have a family, and forget that these five days and nights NEVER HAPPENED."

Sinakumi: "And the chances of that happening is 1 to 100,000,000,000,000."

Sailor: "You're over thinking it."

Sinakumi: "Of COURSE I'm over thinking it! I've played horror games before, but I have NO IDEA how to do THIS one! And Vincent got DELETED. WE could've gotten deleted!"

Sailor: "But he could've if he wanted to. But he didn't. Either that means he's 'I-am-doing-this-for-entertainment-purposes' and doing a livestream of us on YouTube..."

Sinakumi: "Uh...what?"

Sailor: "Or...he CAN'T. Think about it. He never made us. We were never originally part of the game. We're actually HUMAN. They AREN'T. We have no data to erase."

Sinakumi: "So, how do we get out?"

Sailor stared back to the glass door of the pizzeria. Sinakumi started at it too. All the animatronics, with Foxy peeking out of his curtain, started at them.

Sailor: "If we want to be saved...we gotta save them."

Sinakumi: "W-what...?! Save them!? How?!"

Sailor: "...Very carefully..."

Sinakumi did not like that smirk stretching across Sailor's face.

Scott didn't either.
