"A DARK PLACE WITH DARKER SECRETS" - AU plot/story reveal

"WELCOME BACK TO THE FREAKSHOW, MY GOOD FRIEND!~ PLEASE, ENJOY YOUR STAY!~"

-------------------------------

Howdy fellas, welcome to YET ANOTHER POST about Francois' Freakshow! Unfortunately, still no refs to show off yet, BUT, I have STORY!~ AND PLOT!!

And maybe a project idea for it??? Mwhahahahaha~

Now, let's get into things, why don't we?~

-------------------------------

Francois' Freakshow was opened by a man named William Afton at some point in the late 1980s. William had always loved carnivals and clowns, so he opened up a circus of his own, using his best skill! And what was that skill, you may ask?

Making robots. William always had a knack for building and deg complex and amazing animatronics. And so, he made a cast of amimatronic entertainers, those being Francois Fox, Cammy Clown, Bailey Ballerina, Anthony Acrobat, Lyric Lynx, Brenard Bear (and his puppet, Bobby Bunny), Harrison Hare, and Cyra Chicken! All of these animatronics were to work at his amazing little carnival.

Of course, being a bit of a horror fanatic, he made these animatronics and their skills a little bit... scary. A tad bit horrifying. And, unfortunately, this made them a bit.. dangerous.

Eventually, something.. happened. An accident with a mechanic. The mechanic was fixing up one of the animatronics, making sure all the mechanisms were working correctly for the show the next day. The animatronic malfunctioned, one of their more dangerous tricks activating, which proved fatal for the mechanic.

William tried to cover it up best he could, but when that didn't work.. he thought of a better way to hide it. He made up a bit of a lie, saying that the mechanic was fine in reality, and that the whole stunt was just to boost the scare factor. Since the mechanic had no family go speak of, most people just.. believed it, and it boosted the popularity of the carnival.

William absolutely LOVED this rush of fame, and how easily he was able to get away with it, and so? He began hiring people who had no family or loved ones to speak of, letting, no, MAKING the animatronics kill them, adding on and on to the horror of it, and adding onto the fame.

You (yes you, reading this) are the newest mechanic/janitor at the circus, a close friend of one of the more recent mechanics that went missing at the establishment. You came to investigate the disappearance of your friend. Will you find out what happened, or will you die trying? Only time will tell~

-------------------------------

And THAT, my friends, is the story of Francois' Freakshow! I hope you enjoyed reading all this, and I hope you like the idea! Next thing for me to post about this AU is the character wikis-
