Pizza and Frights [OPEN]

[ #91827364501 ]

Joker was pretty knowledgeable when it came to the Manta Carlos rumour mill, mostly because most of the gossip here was interesting, to say the least. Carl Bateman once got his jimmies rustled by a cheerleader and tried to kill half the school. There was a special torture room in Gomorrah. Girls last seen at the lake went missing. Some douchebags stole a Merry-Go-Round horse (kids these days).

Weird shit happens at night at the local pizzeria.

Now, Joker didn't really get into the whole Five Nights at Freddy's bandwagon. He downloaded the game on his phone and finished it in an hour. He even tried to watch what happens if you lose and apparently you just get attacked by a very menacing hungry, hungry hippo. He thought it was the epitome of lame.

But the rumors were exciting. If he was going to get into this whole Five Nights thing, he'd rather it experience it in real life and get attacked by a real hungry, hungry hippo, you know?

That was why Joker was here now, a little after midnight, carrying a flashlight (he gave Wrath his camera) and wearing a black turtleneck and a black bonnet to give it the feel of a real break-in. For once, he didn't have his sunglasses on. He didn't need them. Joker's eyes absorb so much light that he could see in the goddamn dark.

He invited his good buddy Uncle Clyde to help with the break in, for old time's sake. They were on the roof of the establishment and Joker just finished unscrewed the ceiling vents.

"Ready?"

He removed the vent and went inside. They were in the vents now. They had to crawl for a few moments before they located another vent, and then Joker went to work unscrewing that one. He jumped down and landed squarely on some random dude's desk.

He turned on his flashlight. "I think we're in some kind of office, bro."

When it came to doing stupid things at night, usually his normal shtick was waiting in alleys or on street corners for unsuspecting people to come by so he could heckle and kill them before stuffing their corpse into his maw for safe and efficient disposal. That or playing a lot of Final Fantasy. But tonight, just as he had loaded up a new save for Final Fantasy IX, his phone came alive with a text from Sour Cream, AKA Uncle Bonnie, AKA Dank Meme, AKA Joker, AKA #918-some series of numbers he hadn't quite absorbed from when he'd shouted them at the amusement park.

Apparently he wanted to check out some rumored house of horrors, and when it came to bad decisions and stupid ideas, there was no one he'd rather make them with than Joker. The guy was a natural at keeping things interesting and fast paced.

Plus, if this place as as terrifying as it was rumored to be, he doubted that he would be able to get bored while there.

Wrath had kept his normal day clothes on, but had on a hoodie to protect against the cool night and a camera he fiddled with to figure out how the hell to use it. After a few seconds he managed to get it to start recording.

"Let's go, yo."

Wrath kept the camera up as the crawled through the vents, hopping out of the vent right after Joker disappeared, landing with a crash right on top of him.

"Ow... yo, you are not a soft landing, Bonnie."

Wrath moved off of him and looked at the office. It was small and possessed two vents to either side of them and a long, unlit, ominous as hell hallway behind them.

Well.

"Guess we only have one way to go."

Joker yelped as Wrath's big, fat ass dropped on top of him and knocked him into an uncomfortable position on the desk, sending the flashlight flying across the room. It hit a locker with a loud thump and bounced a couple of times before rolling to the very side of the room. Joker took a closer look. Welp, that thing's busted.

"Dude, if you wanna get down and dirty on a desk you should buy me dinner first —"

He heard a laugh.

He looked at Uncle Clyde with wide eyes.

"Shit's getting real, bruh. Make sure you're recording this." He pushed Wrath enough just so he could roll off from under him and onto the ground, landing perfectly on his feet like a cat. He opened his hand and made a slowly burning torch with the metallic hole in his palm, giving light to the entire room.

"Should we open the lights?" Joker paused. "Nah. The dark makes everything creepier."

He headed to the door and opened it. It was a wide hallway. If he listened closely, he could hear footsteps in the distance.

"Dude, if you wanna get down and dirty on a desk you should buy me dinner first —"

"We're in a pizzeria, how about I find you cold pepperoni and and we'll make out in one of the closets."

The Sin checked the camera. He'd kept a firm grip on it, not to mention it had a nice strap to keep it on his hand. Good, he'd caught the too of them getting down and dirty on the desk together on film.

He lifted the camera to about eye level to get a good look around. "The human torch ladies and gentleman."

Wrath was the first to step out of the door to get a look at the long wide hallways He could see doors to either side of him, labelled Party Rooms 1 through 4, with a fifth door at the very end of the hallway. His ears also caught the sound of footsteps which sent a shiver up his spine.

"Dude, getting killed by an animatronic fursuit is exactly how I wanted to go." He muttered quietly, looking above him to see a line of vents from the room they came out of to the door at the end. "Man, I've played enough Alien: Isolation to know where that's going."

He turned to party room one.

"Sour Cream, if I die... I want sweet-ass pyrotechnics at my funeral." The redhead said. "I'm serious, if the whole area isn't scorched black by fire and smoke my spirit will not rest."

The Sin opened the door.

Kaiser swiftly made his way to the doors of the rumoured haunted pizzeria. He would try to open the door however as suspected it was locked. Kaiser wasn't exactly sure why he was here other than to check out if the place was actually haunted and being a huge fan of paranormal stuff he can use this to put it on his blog. He didn't notice the people entering from above which is smarter than what he was about to do. Kaiser examined a window on the side of the building which he looked into only to see a dark hallway. "Should I break the window or just phase through? Breaking seems more fun." Picking up a large rock he would slowly raise it above his head grinning menacingly. With all his strength he would through it at the window expecting to hear the sound of shattering glass but instead the large rock bounced off it like it was nothing. "Either that was a weak throw or this is bulletproof, I'm going to go with bulletproof." He had thought to himself as he walked around the pizzeria to the back where the kitchen entrance should be. Messing with the door lock for awhile, he was finally able to pick lock it open. Grinning triumphantly he would enter the pizzeria and close the door behind.

He could tell that there was something weird about this place the moment he entered. Getting his phone ready he would use the camera's flash to help guide him through the kitchen. "It seems safe so far." He said to the camera mostly. "Greetings ladies and Gentlemen of The Paranormal Squad blog, tonight I'm investigating a rumoured haunted pizzeria, yes a pizzeria. So all you Five Night's at Freddy's fans better enjoy." Yes Kaiser is seriously documenting this and is enjoying it more than he should. Kaiser wasn't afraid of the whole dying thing in fact he welcomed it if he wasn't exactly already dead, so what's the best way to agitate a probably hostile evil spirit? "HEEEY ANYBODY HOOOOOME?!?!?!" He yelled as he ran out the kitchen and into one of the hallways. "I HEARD THIS PLACE WAS HAUNTED AND I CAN TOTALLY FEEL IT IS" he continued yelling as he walked into one of the rooms labeled Party Room 1. He was still recording and hopefully he would get some good footage. The party room was dead, not much of anything except tables....and chairs. "No point in waiting here." He said as he walked into the hallway saying "PEEKABOO" as he opened the doors. "Well Ladies and Gents seems like we have to play the waiting game." He said to his camera as he was grinning eagerly. His goal for tonight was to get good footage and possibly a selfie if the so called possessed animatronic was nice enough. Kaiser was so wrapped up with his "documentary" that he didn't notice the guy he walked past that was at the door.

"I'll put on the best light show for you, bro. It'll be grander than China's edited fireworks in the last Olympics. Everyone will be getting third degree burns as a party favor. They'll be talking about how the funeral party was so hot, your corpse'll get charged for arson."

Joker was trailing behind Wrath when he heard the footsteps in the hallway.

"Bro," he said softly. He was wondering if Wrath was hearing that.

He walked a few paces back to the hallway. As soon as he saw an animatronic at the corner of his eye, he pointed his palm to it. He waved that hand.

"Hey. Nice to meet you."

And then he circled his wrist with his fingers. He turned the dial, setting his fire to a settling where his fireballs acted like shotgun bursts except with a more powerful shot.

He shot the panda. It sent the animatronic fur suit flying into the air. It smashed onto the wall and burned its funky costume, giving the air a slight scent of cheese. He walked closer to it and shot it again for good measure, sending parts of its face flying around the area.

"UNCLE CLYDE, TELL ME YOU GOT THAT SHIT, YO."

Wrath took a look inside of the Party Room 1. It was empty aside from tables and chairs with perfectly placed party hats and balloons floating innocently over the chairs. At the moment he didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Although,it was weird to him that one bothered to deflate those balloons seemed like a waste of helium to have them just... float there all night.

When he heard Joker's voice he turned around to acknowledge him, moving back towards his voice. His head was sticking out when he noticed the fucking panda that had definitely not been there before oh my fucking god."

"WHAT THE SHIT--"

And then it was burning.

The light from his partner's flames made it hard for his eyes to readjust to the darkness, but he was sure to keep his camera focused on the burning, melting carnage that was the Panda.

Wrath panted out an ecstatic laugh. "Hell yeah Bonnie, I am getting this. Aw man."

Man that had actually surprised him. It was weird, but he wouldn't call it frightening. It was no more frightening than someone jumping out and screaming "Boo!" in your ear, but he was definitely going to be more wary of people jumping in and yelling boo. Damn.

"Yo, you're the human torch why don't you pick the next door."
