... i'm sorry. i really am, i thought... i thought i could handle it, i thought it'd just be done, but.

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

yeah. and the rest of day shift too. ralph and john are both gone. [ she swallows harshly. ] i tried to get out of the office to warn them. couldn't. ... it's. worse than i thought, somehow. cassidy, the, uh. the kid in the fredbear plush. he's... ... stronger. than i thought.

... i, uh. you might not wanna come to the store for a bit. or... at all. actually. i pissed off the kid. bad. the robots learned magic. ... they. they got carolynn. [ there's none of her usual charm or energy in her voice. she's bleeding still, from the shoulder. ]

[ speaking of... knock knock. it's a different cadence than usual. ]

[ ...her fault. she sits in the parking lot and mourns. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ she hasn't had much time to grieve. that's the fun thing about such an onslaught. when you have no time to think, you have no time to miss the people you've lost yet. ... she really liked caroline. er, carolynn, then. she was sweet. kind. a bright light in this dark place. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ ...okay. well. she's going to go sleep in her car. already she's learning that any reprieve is something to be taken up immediately. ...but she won't go far. only a few hours, and that's just to make sure he doesn't turn things back again. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ it's not as if she has time for much else. the tsunami of metal and trapped souls comes back down on her again, and it's right back to the rhythm. ...this time, though, there's things behind her just as quickly. she truly is fighting for her life. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ she winces as claws dig into her shoulder. it isn't much, not yet, but it's an omen of things to come. already, she's starting to bleed. deep breaths, as she wraps her hoodie around it as a makeshift stop for now. enough to stem the bleeding, but not much else. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ without fear, without hesitation. ...but even still. ] i'm sorry. i don't want to hurt you. [ she turns up the voltage. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ she blinks. of course. something new, just for her. perhaps an early preview of things to come, or... perhaps just a new tool to play with. but she's not going down that easy. even keeping the rally going, she lurches forward and jabs the taser into the neck of the bear, holding it there. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ then in the vents, in the game menu, in everything. sure, she's still playing pong and all, coffee is never much an issue, but... what the fuck is going on? slowly, she picks the taser up in her hand and keeps it held, while keeping the rally up. ] ...

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ she's trying so, so hard just to... help. it's a thankless job. it always has been. people don't particularly like acknowledging what they need from her. but this... ... where did everybody go? she squints, checking over the cameras. and then again. then around the room. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ grade school bully. ... really? after all this, that's what she's reduced down to? she knows it's just a child, accusing her of all this, but it still gets a frustrated huff from her. she's trying to help. she's trying to get everything pinned under the paw of the bear free. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ a flashlight to the face of withered foxy. toy freddy's game was long beaten. ] this isn't eternal life. this is torment.

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

what happens when the game ends, huh?! what happens when you kill enough people that there's nobody else willing to keep it afloat? what happens when the game stops forever? i'm trying to HELP you. i want to make this work, i want to make everyone happy.

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

people aren't REPLACEABLE! we're not just fucking... playthings! [ mashing the hell out of the door again, whipping her flashlight across the room in a desperate attempt to find the fucking cupcake- there you are, bastard. just in time, too. she heard toy chica sprinting. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

well, actually that's fair. imagine putting on "cassandra" as my name on the schedule. i'd kill myself.

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ salvage. that was dewlap's eventual plan, she assumes? she didn't go through with her plan, and she was the only other one she had to deal with. the bunker and the child... those were enough. ] you try to smother it all, and all you get is more death. more pain. more hurt. you know that.

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

there's always going to be someone who digs past the lies. you can't keep a cover on things no matter how hard you try. eventually... somebody gets sloppy. [ speaking of which, she catches a door a little late. ...she isn't punished. ] even you.

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ she actually reads the registry to check in on her. ] ... wait, she spells it differently than-

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

what happens when you play too hard? you kill jeremy, vanessa, mel, caroline. the souls you puppet around are too tired to play anymore. you're alone. you held on too tight to what you loved. and you crushed it all. [ open doors. clear vents. keep lefty back. check cams. ]

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ flashlight on william to push him back a camera. shock baby. keep the light on william until he's back with baby. flashlight on the small fredbears, all four. ] and what happens when you kill everyone left, huh? what then? you want to keep your friends in one place?

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ ...it's a little funny, honestly. if nothing else, at least this isn't dull. ] they won't care about you. they'll just care about what you leave in your wake. you have to know that. if you become enough of a monster... you stop being a person to everyone else.

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

do you think people care that little about the people they love? ... do you think they cared so little for you? [ mask on. breathe. ] people aren't replaceable, man. we aren't robots.

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

and what's your end here, exactly. get the whole place condemned? get all your "friends" thrown into storage again? ... why try to be just like him?

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

not the first day. they didn't. the rest, well... [ through grit teeth, she opens the door back up once she hears bonnie's knock. so far so good. ] is it cliche to say killing people is wrong?

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ she rolls her eye, mashing the button as fast as she can manage. it's... pretty fuckin' fast, actually. she's got experience with her hands. cough. ] you didn't have to kill day shift, man.

101

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

[ she's silent, closing doors back and forth and trying her heart out to keep her room clear if possible. ]

jesus. poor grike. [ slipping under a shot of boiling cheese. ] he was just green.

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

well, maybe stop trying to throw fucking magic pizzas at me and i'd stop slamming the door in your face.

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

...'s a good thing i come prepared.

001

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

heh heh... is it wrong to say i've been waiting for this? finally, the bear shows his claws. and finally, FINALLY... i can put this whole thing to rest. get ready for the LONGEST night of your afterlife!!

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

[ and that's where he's wrong. the show is just beginning. but in the meantime... it's a whirlwind. questions and answers and tricks and trials. she's observant. she's smart. she knows what needs to be done. so she pushes through regardless, teeth grit. ]

000

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

[ she stands tall, unshaken. ] try me, cassidy.

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

i didn't know the man personally. but waiting that long...? [ she straightens her stance. ] it doesn't matter what kind of will i've got. i have a responsibility to the people you're keeping trapped in these walls. so why don't you show me yours, and we go from there?

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

maybe monument to sin is putting it a little... heavy-handed. but there's been a lot of grief here. there's a lot still left behind. ...henry had a lot to answer for, but the biggest was negligence. if anything would get him killed, it's that.

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

you're locking innocent children down here with you. kids that did nothing wrong but exist, and you're dragging them into your games without a choice. ... i can't stand by that. you know i can't.

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

this isn't about being a hero. i'm not doing this because i want to feel good about myself. or to be wanted. i'm doing this because nobody else can. and if i can help, and i don't... i become just as culpable. ...what i am, is someone who made a promise.

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

...or, would you prefer if i called you...

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

you call this happiness? you call dragging everyone else down with you /better/? [ she grimaces, leaning in just a touch. ] this is torture. you have to know that, fredbear.

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

you could say i've been doing this my whole life. ... that's where you're wrong, though. none of us have all the time in the world. as much as we wish we did... eventually, we reach closing time. it's yours, now.

100

cass saito. @frickinghosthunter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

...yeah. it is. i've given you time. not necessarily by choice, but it was time nonetheless. was it enough?
