Slide Into Fun! (also on ao3)
Monty glanced over his shoulder, making sure none of the staffbots were around. It’d been a pain in the tail trying to avoid them with how big and loud he usually was. Sneaking wasn’t really his forte.
He could feel his tail wagging from excitement. Finally, finally, he'd be able to use the Superstar Daycare slide! Ever since Chica mentioned it a few weeks ago it’d been the only thing on his mind. A slide and a ball pit at the bottom? Sign him up!
Sure Gator Golf had the Hurricane Hole in One, but it wasn’t the same. It was a bitch and a half to get out of if you got stuck, the bucket was pretty deep and you’d need to jump from one of the gator ride carts just to get in. Hypothetically, of course. Monty had never tried it himself (cough he got stuck 16 out of 16 times cough).
Monty quickly took off his shoulder pads and stuffed them into his chest plate, it’s not like he wanted to get stuck or damage the slide. Doing a little wiggle and glad that no one was around to see him like this, Monty gave a shout and dove head first into the slide.
Plastic balls flew out in a huge explosion after the gator made it to the ball pit. A few seconds passed and Monty burst out from the pit, bellowing with laughter. Wading around a bit, he suddenly dove back in, ‘swimming‘ around in an almost calm way. For him at least.
Monty rolled over and made ball pit angels, wriggling deeper under the surface and ‘swimming‘ for a few more minutes until he felt like he’d had enough. It was surprisingly more fun that he thought he’d have, but his battery was on it’s last two charges and the band had an early concert.
The bassist made his way out of the ball pit and was about to walk towards the double doors when- “Hellloooo!“
“Gah!“ Monty jumped back, he didn’t know there’d be an animatronic in the daycare! Jesus this guy was a nightmare and a half to look at. Hopefully he didn’t see him playing around.
“New friend!“ the animatronic clapped its hands, swaying from side to side. “We’re so, so, SO happy you enjoyed the ball pit,“ Damn it. “But we insist on you cleaning up after yourself! I mean, look at this mess!“
Monty looked around, balls were scattered everywhere. in the play structures, on the floor, heck, some had even gotten lodged in the netting at the top of the daycare.
“Uuuhh. Right, listen I actually have to leave ...“
“Oh! Where are our manners?“ the shorter(?) animatronic exclaimed, hitting the palm of it’s hand to it’s forehead before reaching out for a handshake. “My name is Sun, I’m one of the Daycare Attendants! It’s nice to meet you Mr. Montgomery Gator.“
Monty shook his hand. “You can just call me Monty, y’know. How’d ya know my name anyway, Lil Guy?“
Sun clapped his hands again, bouncing in place. “Wowie, nicknames already? How fun! And of course we know the name of the Glamrock’s bassist! We hear your concerts over the daycare music sometimes. You guys sound great!“
Monty puffed out his chest. It was always great to hear from a fan, even if it wasn’t specifically for him. ... Damn, now he’ll feel bad if he doesn’t help clean up. Plus, he hated disappointed his fans. The bassist sighed and started picking up the plastic balls. Sun squealed rushing around to collect the ones in higher places so that Monty’s weight wouldn’t damage the structures.
The two had almost finished putting all the balls away... except for the ones in the netting. He really had to leave soon. His battery was almost empty but the gator didn’t want to just leave the rest of the mess to the other. It’d honestly been kind of fun talking with Sun, and he was getting used to looking at his face, so he wasn’t as weirded out every time he looked at the other. Monty scratched his head.
“I have a collapsible golf club, maybe we could hit them loose?“
Sun just waved that thought away, unperturbed. “Naaaah, it’s fine. Moonie’ll get them after his patrol. You can go charge now, you’re looking a little wobbly, ho ho ho.“
“Who?“
Sun laughed. “Moonie! Or, well, Moon. He’s my other half! You can see what he looks like on the posters outside the daycare.“
Monty wasn’t sure why Moon hadn’t helped them clean up, maybe they were shy? Then again, it’s not like Sun needed to help him either. Ugh, whatever. Thinking was for losers and people who had fully charged batteries. Just as he was about to say something, the lights shut off, leaving the two in darkness. Monty grabbed Sun’s wrist in confusion and blinked, trying to adjust.
“The heck was that??“ he exclaimed. The adjusting was taking a while, his eyes were pretty sensitive after all. Huh, usually Sun would have said something by now. “Sun?“
Monty squinted in the dark, lifting his shades to see better. Oh. That wasn’t Sun. In his new friend’s place was a moon themed animatronic, a night cap jingled where rays used to be. Bright red met magenta as the shorter(?) lightly tried to tug back their arm.
“Right! Sorry, sorry.“ Monty let go and the other rubbed where his claws had been. A beat passed. He watched as their face plate rotated a few times, as if thinking, before they reached out their hand (the opposite one that Sun had extended).
“Hello, Mr. Montgomery Gator. My name is Moon, Naptime Daycare Attendant and Security Guard.“
Monty stared at the hand, back at Moon, and then the hand again. He burst out snickering, catching Moon off guard. “Oh man, you guys are dorks.“
Moon snatched his hand back and crossed his arms, huffing. “That’s not very nice, Mr. Montgomery.“
“No no no no,“ he laughed “I meant it in a good way. Sorry, kinda out of it, Sun said you’d get the rest of the ball pit balls out of the net but I really have to get charged. And seriously, call me Monty.“
Moon uncrossed his arms, looking at the gator with concern. They were surprised to see he was barely hanging on at a dangerous 5%. Darn it, Sun! The celestial animatronic swayed a bit, rotating their faceplate again.
“...I could escort you to your greenroom? It’s on my patrol route, and that way you’ll have someone to carry you back if you collapse before then.”
Monty blinked. Huh, that’d actually be, pretty helpful honestly. “Sure.“
The other looked like they were beaming (somehow), and the bassist almost screeched when they scooped him up and practically yeeted into the air.
“WHOA WHAT THE FUCK!“
“Bad language is banned in the daycare.“ Moon supplied. Monty swore he could hear a mischievous undertone, the bastard.
“WARN ME NEXT TIME!!!“
It took them almost half the time it would have taken if they’d just walked to get to his greenroom. He had to admit, besides the initial shock and the relief that he wasn’t a human or he would have pissed his pants, flying around with Moon was really fun. 20/10 would fly again, with a heads up of course.
Moon glided down to his door. Right before the bassist turned to open the door, the celestial animatronic placed something in his claws.
“We won’t tell anyone about you playing in the ball pit,“ Moon said, Monty sputtered but was cut off “Feel free to come by and play again soon, New friend~“
Monty watched as the other bounced on their feet before springing away, probably hooked to the cable again.
Opening his hand, he found a round candy wrapped in shiny blue foil.

Eldritchrune - Asriel Investigates
Story Setup
Eldritchrune Masterpost
In his quest to find Kris and discover what might have happened in Hometown, Asriel goes digging for some arcane information. But is his canine companion actually helping him with useful knowledge, or just getting him into trouble??
Also, just in case the text is hard to read in his old books, here's a text version of what's in the two books under the read more!
From Denizens of a World of Darkness:
Sealed too in this dark realm are beasts of immense size and terrifying power, said to speak in tongues unknown to man. While varied in size, shape and abilities, these beasts share a similar nature of feeding upon humans and their souls. While impossible to know for sure, it is speculated that the inherent potential within all humans is as nutritional to these monsters as bread and meat is for man. If these beasts were to be released into the world we know, a great roaring calamity would come upon the land. Even the most practiced of magicians would struggle to stop such creatures. It is, therefore, a great relief that these beasts are unable to leave the Dark World of their own accord.
From Comprehension of Greater Demonae:
Most contradictory among the demon monarchs of the Dark World is (Ralsei), a prince of darkness. This entity embodies the shadows cast by the hearth, the loneliness of spaces between the warm comfort of company. Fire and shadow alike are attributed to this demon.
This being is said to quell any enemy, no matter how great a threat they may be. And yet, other tales describe this demon as akin to a pleasant neighbor, delighting in companionship. Much debate has ensued over reconciling these two narratives.
But is this truly a contradiction? The fire that burns pleasantly in the hearth and warms the family home is the same fire that burns down a city and devastates the lives of all who live there. Brotherhood becomes the madness of the mob at the turn of a coin.
No, the true terror of Ralsei is the loneliness said to reside in whatever spaces a demon’s soul would be, if they possessed them. This demon will do all that is asked of it to obtain the ultimate prize: a human soul forever bonded to it in the [cut off]
