Simone drove down the street, sipping a coffee she got from a drive through resturant. She was never one to hop on trends but she did enjoy whenever pumpkin spice came back in season. After pulling into a parkinglot and getting out, she looked up at The Balloon World. It had been opened for a while now and was very popular, since it wasn't just a kid's place. It was built to have larger rooms so it could fit more guests and for more attractions.

Simone(thinking): Not to mention my best animatronics yet!

She walks inside, finding it filled with people. She pushed through the crowed and through the rooms until she made it to the employees only area. This area lead to the janitors room, break room, security office, and both her and her father's offices. She unlocked her office and stepped inside, locking the door behind her. This room was a bit more spacey than the other two buildings' offices and came with a second entrance. It was only for animatronics and connected to the main rooms so she could get easy access to said animatronics for easy repairs. She got her computer out of her bag and typed a command into it. After waiting a second, the second entrance opened and in walks a clown girl animatronic holding a large hammer.

She places her Mallet down and does a bow.

Simone: Alright Pandora, let's see what's up with you.

She typed another command and Pandora sat down, powering off. Simone began looking through the code of the acrobat when she hears a knock at her door.

Simone(thinking): What now?

She got up and opened the door. Standing there was Justin.

Simone: Oh, hey!

Justin: hey Simone! I'm just checking in to see if you needed help with anything?

Simone: Hmm... nah, I'm good. But thank you for checking in!

Justin: Anytime!

Simone: Oh, but are the plans still on for the movies on sunday?

Justin: Nothing's come up in my schedule so yeah!

Simone: Okay, great! See you later then?

Justin: You know I will!

Simone giggles.

Simone: Okay, great!

She closes her door and pauses.

Simone(thinking):... Would the girls be okay with...?

She stops herself, shaking away the thought.

Simone(thinking): Not gonna push my luck... Not yet...

She turns around and sat at her desk.

Simone(thinking): Just needs a bit more time...

She started skimming through Pandora's code before closing out of it.

Simone: Well, nothing wrong with the code.

She got out of her chair, walking over to the animatronic. This batch of animatronics was special since it was really experimenting with what they could use for the animatronics. This was had been made out of silicone to make it feel more like a human. That also included...

Simone:...

She squeezed the robot's chest. Yep. Felt pretty accurate. Simone gave her dad about a hundred death glares after she first learned about it. It didn't have any "details", so that had to count for something. Right? Anyway, Simone checked the animatronic and found no physical damages so she moved onto the hammer.

Simone: Ah, here we go.

The handle had a crack in it, that's likely why the warning went off.

She replaced the part and powered Pandora back on, sending her off to work. Simone cracks her knuckles, lying back in her chair.

Simone: Got some time to kill...

She went to her minifridge and pulled out a slice of pizza, popping it in the microwave. She waits around for it to finish before pulling it out and stuffing it into her face.

Simone: Mmmhmhmhmmmm... Yummers!

She threw out the plate and stretches, pulling out her phone to pass the time. She got a notificaton, clicking on it and it bringing her to her news app. Her brow lowers and eyes narrow a small bit.

Simone:... Took them long enoug.
