Ruby entered the dorm room at 6:50. Blake sat on her bed reading. Weiss still lay snoozing. Yang rushed out the bathroom, her hair still wet and in curlers.

"Where the heck were you last night?", Yang demanded, hands on her hips.

"I wasn't going to tell you guys until I was hundred percent sure, but….", Ruby said.

"But what?" , asked Blake. She put her book Pirates of Passion down also interested in the previous whereabouts of her team's leader.

"I GOT A JOB!", Ruby squealed excitedly, "So now I don't have to borrow money anymore".

"Oh My Oum! Where at?" asked Yang, proud that her little sister was displaying signs of maturity, she was becoming a better team leader every day.

"Penny's Pizzeria!", explained Ruby while gathering up her books.

"Oh…", Yang's disposition suddenly turned to that of fear, "you know Ruby, you're still only fifteen, you're a little young to be worrying about money, you should just stay focused on classes for now don't you think?"

"Ammon costs lien, especially dust ammo, because stupid Torchwick! Add in the money for oiling and maintaining Crescent Rose, and it adds up. I can't keep mooching on everyone. What's your problem with me getting a job anyway?" She shot back defensively.

"Don't get me wrong I'm glad that you're becoming more of an adult it's just that…",Yang paused unsure of how exactly to explain to Ruby what she wasn't sure she could explain herself, "That place… I used to work there when I was 15, at their old location. It was not a fun experience. You gotta be careful in that restaurant."

"Yang I know what I'm doing, I already had my first night and it went off without a hitch", she lied.

"When do you work next?", asked Weiss, who was now awake and assembling her shower caddy.

"I work every night this week, and maybe Saturday, after that I'll have more leeway to negotiate my schedule, so you don't have to worry about me not being around", assuring her teammates that she would not let her new job interfere with her duties as leader.

After all her classes were ruby took an eight hour nap in before grabbing Crescent Rose and heading off to work. Memories of the previous night rationalized a bad dream, she stopped for a coffee on the way to ensure that she would not be found sleeping on the job.

"You're back", said the manager with a bit of surprise in his voice, almost as if it were meant to be a question.

"Night Guard Ruby, reporting for duty!", she exclaimed, twirling around on her caffeine high.

"What's that on your back?" he asked referring to Crescent Rose.

"It's my scythe/rifle, I built it. I'm a huntress in training", she explained.

"Ah, I see", the man made a concerned expression, "since your job is security I won't discourage you from carrying protection, but I must warn you, sometimes the night can play tricks on you and jumpy guards can get trigger happy. We had to let one of our old guards go, a different Huntsman who ended up freaking out and destroying one of the animatronics, the exact opposite of his job. If anything happens to the robot's that's it. And any suspicious activity is to be called in to the police only, no heroics, corporate policy. Understand?"

"Understood, I won't let you down Sir" she said.

He smiled approvingly and handed her the building key, "You know where the office is, there's another message from the previous night watchman for you, have a nice night!"

She walked into the back office and pressed the button on the voicemail box.

"Err, hello! Helo? Uhh… well, if you're hearing this, you made it to night two. Uhh congrats! I won't talk quite as long this time since, Penny and company tend to become more agressACTIVE, more active as the week progresses. Umm… you might need to go ahead and peek at those cameras while I talk; just to make sure everyone is in their proper place, ya know? Uhh, interestingly enough Penny herself doesn't come off stage very often. I heard she becomes a lot more active in the dark, though, sooo hey, I guess that's another reason not to run out of power. The business really picks up as the week progresses, so they use more power during the daytime, unfortunately they fail to account for this extra business in the budget when they're distributing out power for the night, so you'll find you'll have less and less power each night and that it drains faster as the week progresses. So you'll have to be very careful about rationing it. I've spoken to Junior about this but not much has been done, management, am I right? Now I also want to emphasize the importance of using your door lights: uhh, there are blind-spots in your camera views and the blind spots happen to be right outside your doors so if you can't find someone on your cameras, be sure to check the door-lights. Uhh you might have only a few seconds to react, but.. not that you would be in any danger of course, I'm not implying that. Also: check the curtain in Spanishland from time to time. The character in there is unique in that it becomes more active if the cameras remain off for long periods of time. I don't know. Anyway, I'm sure you have everything under control. Uhh talk to you soon!"

She sighed. Was there ever any good news on these phone calls? Styg was in her opinion a very strange guy. The way he talked about the animatronics made it sound as if they were actually alive in mind. She scrolled through the camera. The three animatronics were all up on stage as she expected. The curtain in Spanishland was opened slightly and she could see a brown helmet peeking out from it. Spanishland was a unique area, the place was decorated with piñatas and salsa dispensers, and perhaps most curious of all were the murals on the walls. They looked like people she knew, but with sombreros and mustaches cheaply photoshopped on. She went back to monitoring the security footage. Kitchen camera was disabled just like last night. Party room one, nothing unusual in that one. Main stage and…Bobbie and Nancy are gone! She quickly checked all over until she found them both. Nancy was in party room number two giving a creepy dead eyed stare straight up at the camera. Bobbie was in one of the back rooms, standing next to a bare endoskeleton on a table. The sound of quick heavy metallic footsteps echoed throughout the building. She looked to the hallway camera and saw that the brown armor clad robot was sprinting at an alarming pace toward the office. Her hand slammed down on the door button out of fear and it slid down just in time. She heard loud banging from the other side accompanied by a voice in Spanish.

"Senorita! Senorita! Este lugar es muy peligroso . Estos otros robots desean hacer daño. Por favor, abro para que pueda protegerte. Este trabajo no es seguro. Me gustaría dejar de fumar , mientras que usted todavía tiene la oportunidad."

She picked up her scythe, but instantly remembered she would be fired if any damage came of the electronics. She was frightened but told herself that everything was fine and that she was overreacting. After all these were just animatronics after all.

"Go away", she shouted at the door. The banging ceased.

"bien, sólo utilizar la cámara everyso menudo para hacerme saber que está bien, señorita, si la cámara permanece apagada durante mucho tiempo vendré a verte , ¿de acuerdo ?"

Ruby waited a few more moments before opening the door, and hit the hall light switch. The hall illuminated to show the robot was now gone. She had twenty percent of power left. Which would be concerning were it not already five in the morning. The rest of her shift passed without much incident. And when the sound of the bells mixed with children cheering, she smiled. The robots might be creepy, but in the end it wasn't anything a huntress like herself couldn't handle. She then left for Beacon to change into non-ruined underwear.
