The girl in yellow ran through her distorted world. The floor was dirt then carpet, stone then tile. She ran past gravestones and chairs, trees and boxes. Creatures made of a black, shaped to vaguely resemble bunny's jump after her, desperately trying to so much as touch her.  The Princess swung her sword at one that attempts to catch her by surprise, making it flash red and waver. As the environment around her started to disintegrate into a mess of pixels, a loud clank rings out behind her followed by heavy footsteps. The princess ran, fire kinking up as she ran. A howl rung through her ears but she had to keep running. This was the farthest she had ever been. She ran as fast as her legs would move, ignoring the pain that flowed through them.

Princess: Cone on, come on!

The footsteps behind her were getting closer. They got louder and louder...

...until...

...They went quiet...

The Princess now stood in a black void. Alone. She looks around for some sign of where she was or where to go, and she saw it. A large, green metal door was in front of her. It was covered in what looked like handprints, and there was what looked like purple veins pulsating on the wall(?) behind it. The Princess approached the door carefully, not wanting to risk the possibility of it being a trap. As she got closer, the dot suddenly began to open inward, a loud creak rings through the space as it did, slowly stopping as the door did. The Princess walked inside. Sat before here was a large black mass of sludge, small tabs and lumps sticking out all over, with two longer ones on top.

Princess(thinking): it's asleep.

Her attention was caught by the object just to the side of it. It appeared to be a metallic skeleton, the same black sludge wrapping around it. The Princess looks around before slowly approaching the figure.

She got close to it.

She raises her sword.

And swung.

A week later—

We see Vanessa walking down the sidewalk. She was looking at her phone and drinking some ~NebulaDollars~. Ever since the Pizzaplex burnt down she was left without a job and now was trying to cope with finally having full access to her brain again. So here she was: Jobless, friendless, no more little voice in her head making the hard desicions for her, and had to live in a studio apartment.

However.

Not all was lost.

Right now she was on her way for an interview at one of Freddy's comeditors.

Vanessa(thinking): God I hope they're willing to take in a former Freddy's employee.

Freddy's basically held a monopoly over childrens resturants and attractions so the competitors were almost always clawing at the oppertunity to get a leg up in the competition. So that either meant she would get in the moment she sat down or get absorbed into the company instantly. She came up to the company building. It was pretty tall, lots of windows, nothing special. Only thing unique about it was the big sign reading: "Rowboatics Corp."

Vanessa(Thinking): Well, here we go!

She steps into the building, pushing open the double doors and took in the lobby. The carpet felt old and worn out, a faded yellow, red and green pattern spread across it. The walls were a faded white. On top of all of that the place was practically empty, except for an old janitor cleaning something up, and the person at the front desk. Speaking of, Vanessa walks over to the desk and knocked, the woman behind the desk looking up.

Desk Lady: Can I help you?

Vanessa: Uhh, Hi. I'm here for the interview?

The lady looks to her computer and shoes something.

Desk Lady: Vanessa. Right?

Vanessa: Yes.

Desk Lady: Alright. Go up to the third floor and head down the hall to your right, near the end you'll find a door to the bosses office.

Vanessa: Oh, okay. Thank you!

She turns away and walks towards the elevator.

Vanessa(thinking): It's alright, you've got this Vanny-... Vanessa...

She let out a tired sigh, before pressing the button to the elevator.
