Lost Souls [Paradox]

@"Paradox"

Snow just looked at the boy with a gentle animatronic smile, listening to his words “Don’t worry about that, Sky, If I were-e-e needed somewhere else I would know it a-a-almost immediately and I would say it to-to you” The good part of the busiest part of the day was that all the animatronics were active and working, entertaining the kids of the pizzeria, so she wasn’t that needed around after all. And if any employee needed help with their own tables or by greeting anyone like she did with Sky she would notice it almost immediately.

“I spend almost all the day wi-wi-with children, yes. I love playing with the-em and their parents, as we-e-ell as making a grown-up day a bit better if I can. So-So-Sometimes people can be a bit mean-an to you when you work in my-y-y position, but I don’t really mind, I’m willing to-o endure a whole day of mean treatment if I ma-make only one kid smile” She was extremely careful to avoid mentioning the nights at the pizzeria and her terrible actions during those dark hours, the only secret that she would keep forever hidden from Sky if possible.

@"Paradox"

Snow couldn’t help but chuckle a bit, feeling sincerely happy and proud of herself with Sky’s words. She was always happy when somebody smiled because of her, regardless of the reason.

She carefully picked him up, lifting him to her height, before hugging him, moving her ears in a rather cute way. She wasn’t completely sure if he actually meant that he knew what she was or if he was meaning something else, so she decided to not say anything that could ruin the friendship that she was slowly building with him.

She hesitated a bit before placing him down once more, she got hugged every day by kids, yes, but hugs like that one were extremely rare and were of the kind that she couldn’t help but wish that lasted a bit longer “You have no idea o-o-of how happy makes me to know tha-a-at I made your day a bit better”.

She was hoping to see him frequently around the pizzeria, but decided to keep that to herself, she didn’t want him to make him feel forced to come here every day, no matter how much you love pizza, there are always times that you want to eat other things after all.

Snow chuckled and raised her hand in a ‘Just wait a minute’ way before walking towards the counter. She quickly introduced the data from Sky’s order to the system via Bluetooth and it did the rest of the work, giving a ticket at her. She walked back with it to Sky’s table and gave it to him “Here you go” She smiled in a friendly way “I hope to see you again around here someday, Sky”.

After the small goodbye she walked with him towards the exit, a bit sad to know that Sky had to leave, but there is always a tomorrow, and maybe she would see him again in one of those tomorrows.

~Time Skip~​

Snow was chilling on the stage, letting her default programming to do almost all the work. Today the pizzeria was almost completely empty, thing that didn’t surprised her that much, especially at this hour.

She listened the door open and as a default action she raised her head and looked towards it. She widened her eyes as the face of the newcomer was scanned, Sky was back! She jumped off the stage and walked towards him “Hey Sky! Is nice to see you again!” She greeted cheerfully.

@"Paradox"

Snow smiled in her own mechanical way, Sky came here just to see her? That was so cute and nice from him! She guided him to the stage and sat on the border with him on her lap, since there were only a couple of clients around the pizzeria the employees obviously wouldn’t mind her to be talking with Sky at all.

“As long as we-e-e don’t start getting busy again, we can spend a-a-as much time talking as you want, Sky-y” She couldn’t help but wonder what he had in mind, and though she was a but suspicious about it already, given the small talk they had only some days ago, she wouldn’t rush anything and let him ask whatever he was comfortable with.

She obviously wouldn’t mind answering any of his questions, as long as none of these were related to the weird stuff happening around the pizzeria at night. That was a touchy subject for her and she would be a lot more comfortable if they didn’t touched it.

@"Paradox"

Snow just chuckled a bit, ruffling Sky’s hair a bit “I’m always here to talk with you if you want, Sky” She said calmly, already expecting the next question.

“If you mean my mechanical self, just as the rest of my friends here” She said pointing at the other animatronics “But I guess that you’re asking about my other side, right? If that’s the case…it can be a long story, and maybe not exactly pleasant. Are you sure that you want to hear it, Sky?” She really wouldn’t want to scare her friend with the story of her death.

She looked around the pizzeria, just to make sure that nobody was looking at them. The few customers were too busy eating or chatting between them and out of one employee that was playing on his phone when he obviously had to be supervising the tables, everyone else was chilling somewhere out of sight.
