Nurse Joann, for some odd reason, was given another chance to prove herself and was to be at dinner on her best behavior. You already didn't like her and were hoping she would've been let go after her fiasco during lunch, but it seems management figured she deserved a second chance. You wondered how many people deserved a second chance and didn't get it.

"I promise I am not happy about this outcome, but there was only so much I could've done. I was told to give her one more chance, and they would be watching and listening in as well, but they didn't tell me who they were sending or when." You understood what he was trying to tell you without telling you. He wanted you to be on your best behavior, which you always were, but better safe than sorry. 

"I am not worried. I will continue to give the best care I can provide and as much as they would allow me to." He nodded at you with a small, sincere smile and left you to your own devices. You had your dinner packed since dinner was going to be an extra 20 minutes today. That meant you were going to have time to crochet in between meals and watch out for the others. You were informed to still do your job but to allow nurse Joann to take over more of your responsibilities. She was under the assumption that she was keeping the job, whereas the rest of you knew this was her last chance or else she was out and would have to find employment elsewhere. You were making notes about your patients as well as sketching out ideas on how to make crochet dolls out of them when you heard the bell signaling it was dinner time. You grabbed all of your stuff, including your food, and left your room locking the door behind you and heading towards the hall so you could have dinner with them. As soon as you entered the hall, Freddy looked directly at you speaking.

"Please tell me that bitch left Toots. I hate her." That was code for he would haunt her dreams and gut her like the pig she is but clearly, he is not allowed to say that out loud, especially with all the guards around. You were about to answer that she, in fact, was here but her loud voice answered for you.

"It seems I got the job after all. You're going to have to start listening to me." You turn to Joann with a blank face.

"That is not how it works here and you know that. As of, right now, I have seniority considering I am the only nurse who has stayed this long. You are still being assessed so please do not look a gift horse in the mouth." You turned away from her and made your way to the center table. You normally wouldn't sit there you would normally sit with one of the patients but at the center table, you had eyes on everyone. That is what you wanted. You had your phone set up as if you were watching videos, but you were recording everything she said and did, just in case she did or said something she wasn't supposed to and you had proof as to why she should or shouldn't be employed here anymore.

"Why you're sitting over there princess?" You turned to Danny who sidled up next to you glancing at your phone before focusing back on your face. You gave him a smirk and he grinned wildly at that, throwing his head back in laughter as he hugged you tightly around the waist leaning to whisper in your ear "You're a clever little fox." Just as fast as he was there, he left to go sit by himself at a corner table. You looked over all of them and couldn't help but, notice they were grumpier than usual but, behaving at the same time. They were going to make it hell for the new nurse while entertaining you at the same time. 

"What are you over there smiling at?" You glanced over at Joann with the same light smile on your face.

"It's not a crime to smile. I am observing the patients just as I am told to do." You looked over and saw that Pyramid Head had not moved from his spot of staring at you. He was the least happy about this arrangement than anyone in here. You were going to have to hold out a little longer though just to see what would Joann do when greeted with grumpiness. 

"Well, while you're sitting there doing nothing, I took the liberty to make sure they get their food." You blinked and couldn't help the sarcastic answer escaping.

"You want a cookie for doing your job?" She looked at you as if she wanted to cuss you out but, she huffed and left you to sit there at the table. Good, she could leave you alone and you could start recording for real now. You won't put it past anyone in here but, you had a feeling that no one in here will 'tattle tell' on here. If anything they'll make sure that Joann looks bad and can leave expeditiously which you're hoping for. You disliked her character. You decided to leave your phone there and walk around like you usually do, might as well do something and make yourself look extra good.

"Can you sit with us please Y/N?" The only reason you didn't jump in surprise was because of the camera, but you couldn't hide the look of surprise on your face when Susie asked you to sit with her and the rest of the legion. You never saw their full faces, but you could see their mouths, and they all had the most smug grins.

"Of course." You had your lunch already with you so you sat at the round table between Joey and Susie across from Julie and Frank. This was unexpected but, you had a suspicion they were planning something so you weren't going to try to dissuade them. They started talking about random things making sure to add you to the equation. Joann figured you were too busy talking to pay her any mind but, you still had your attention on her. You were a good multi-tasker. She was near your phone but, the screen had a privacy cover so unless she got directly in front of it, it would look like it's off. She was by Norman, Brahms, Bubba, and the Sinclair brothers. You were hoping she wouldn't rile them up or make Norma pop up. Bo and Norma can be very violent when provoked.

"It would make sense the freakiest of the group would band together." She turned to Norman who was glancing between his food and her. 

"M-Miss Joann, h-how are you?" He was trying to be nice and was going to keep talking but, was rudely cut off. She was pressing buttons she had no business pressing.

"Speak to me when you don't stutter. Ask your mommy nicely if she could teach you. The least she could do." Your eyes widened to saucers as you swiveled to stare at her and back at Norman. You never thought you would witness the change from Norman to Norma but, you did in his facial features and the way he grinned ear to ear with a chuckle. 

"It seems your mother failed to teach you manners." You stood up from the table with one leg in and one leg out just in case you had to intervene but, it seemed Norma had more self-control than you thought as she stared at you with a more genuine smile.

"Don't worry Y/N. I'm alright." You nodded in relief at that, your eyes going back to Joann who you think is unaware of how close she was to death's door. She needs to stop flirting before he flirts back. She turned her glare to you and was smirking as if she had the upper hand.

"Oh, what you're going to do about it Y/N? No one gives a fuck about anyone in here but, you. Besides, it's my word against yours and no one is going to believe the sickos in here. Who knows, they might add you to their bunch and I'll be the one taking over and running it the way it's supposed to be run." You weren't aware of just how delusional she was, but it was getting to a level you weren't prepared for. It was a good thing that you had self-control and that you were recording all of the interactions so you could show management why she is not a good candidate to stay in this facility and to be able to perform her duties. It has also taken everything in you to remain in a professional setting around her. You wanted to knock her head between the stove and the refrigerator, but you digress.

"You are behaving erratically and unprofessionally and you know that. I believe you should take a minute to gather yourself. I will take over until you come back and be able to perform your needed duties." She let out a screech that made you wince and stare at her in disbelief. You knew she was going to act out but, you weren't expecting this much. She had to have taken theater and failed with how dramatic she was being.

"YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! FUCK YOU AND THIS FUCKING JOB, I QUIT!!" You frog-blinked in disbelief as she grabbed her things and while cussing out everyone and everything left with a slam of the cafeteria doors. It was silent as you walked to your phone, turned off the video, and looked around at everyone who looked at each other or you.

"Well...the trash took itself out. I'm still keeping this video just in case she denies she quit after she calms down after her episode." You hummed and decided that you were going to enjoy the rest of your time at lunch with them before shit possibly hits the fan...again.
