Dr. A turns a corner, and out of nowhere, there’s a Funtime Foxy variant in front of him.

“You… rehabilitate versions of William Afton, yes?” They ask hesitantly.

@ghost-inthe-machine

Ah, I cannae get a break. How did you get in here?

“Why, the same way anyone travels between universes, I imagine!” They reply cheerfully.

There’s a beat of silence, and he’s not sure if they’re waiting for him to reply, or…?

.... Okay. Yes, we rehabilitate them.

"To be completely honest with you, I don't know if my universe's William can be rehabilitated, but someone has to try something, or more people are going to get hurt."

There's an odd sound from somewhere in The Ringleader's chest, and suddenly, there's a black liquid dripping between the gaps in their faceplates. Dr. A recognizes it as Agony.

They wipe it away as quickly as it appears.

*Dr. A's expressions changes from annoyed to serious.*

Right. Are you able to take me to your universe?

Foxy nods, and suddenly, they arrive appear somewhere dark. “Shhh,” they warn quietly.

He hears a soft shifting from below, and he looks down to see something that looks more like a specter than an animatronic, a creature dripping with so much Agony, it's hard to make out much else about it.

What... is that?

“That’s him,” they reply. “Another universe’s William came down here with me last time, and he believes that the man who created me is still in there.”

*Dr. A sighs then presses a button clipped to his shirt.*

This is Dr. A requesting backup at my location, over.

“If something happens, I want you to get behind me,” Foxy tells him.

Suddenly, he’s aware of a quiet, high-pitched ringing sound.

*He winces and covers one ear*

Foxy’s eyes flicker purple for a fraction of a second, before switching back to yellow.

*He furrows his eyebrows, confused.*

"...What?"

Nothing.

"So... what now?"

We wait for my colleagues.

*Two men teleport next to Dr. A*

And here they are.

"Hello," Foxy greets, quiet as to not attract the William's attention.

1: What are we doing?

Retrieving a new Afton.

2: And you need backup for it? Isn't that, like, your job?

Will you shush? This Foxy seems to think the danger level is high, and I'm taking their word for it.

The specter turns, slowly, staring at them. He's covered in so much Agony that just making eye contact with him for too long causes a dull pain to blossom in a person's skull.

2: Ow- What the fuck is that?

Agony.

He starts approaching, slowly. Foxy goes tense.

Shit.

[Billie taps his glasses and then glows blue for a moment.]

Stay behind me, lads.

He gets closer, and the decrease in distance makes the pain worse.

Foxy, ya got any clue how to deal with this?

"Hold on... I can get you an opening or two, at least," they practically whisper.

"Hello," Balloon Boy's voice calls from somewhere behind William. Perhaps more out of instinct than anything, he turns.

Here goes nothing.

*Dr. A shoots a rope gun at the Agony-covered William, the rope then magically coiling around him in an attempt to tie him.*

2: How come you get all the magic?

*Dr. A groans in annoyance.*

He struggles, letting out an inhuman screech. The Agony seems to weaken the ropes, but not enough for William to escape just yet.

Hold this.

*Dr. A hands the end of rope to his colleague.*

I'm going in.

*He makes his way to William, then quickly presses a button on a small device, opening a portal below his and William's feet. They fall through, landing in AIM headquarters.*

2: Well then. What now?

1: *Shrugs*

"I doubt just tying him up will be enough to stop him for long," Foxy says quietly.

1: I imagine he took him to a sealed room. The rope was just to take him there.

Foxy nods.

"...I might go back to your headquarters, myself," they say after a moment. "Just to check in, maybe see if Dr. A needs any help."

1: We could take you there!

“That’s very kind of you,” Foxy replies warmly.

*1 opens up a portal.*

Dr. A turns a corner, and out of nowhere, there’s a Funtime Foxy variant in front of him.

“You… rehabilitate versions of William Afton, yes?” They ask hesitantly.

AIM means well but at the end of the day the very premise of it does not work. sure there are some cases where it helps aftons but not the majority. the evil aftons are put in A wing, usually against their will (ba-dum-tshh); they've been institutionalized. contained. the ones deemed not evil are put in B wing and have way more freedom, but the moment they slip up they're put in A wing for "safety."

raindropssys

for context AIM is a thing I made up, Afton Institute of the Multiverse. basically they try to rehabilitate William Aftons across the multiverse but they kinda suck at it and there's lots of toxic positivity and it's just kinda weird. I have an rp blog for it @afton-institute-multiverse

*Dr. A groans in annoyance.*

(Here’s the ask for the new thread I think-)

*When it’s time, he hears to the room where he needs to be.*

*Dr. Jasmine sits in the room along with three others: A human William dressed in a fabulous purple suit, a Glitchtrap, and a Springtrap.*

*He nods and goes to take his seat*

(Ignore my most recent ask lol- internet’s been being weird so wanted to be sure lol)

J: Lovely! We're all here. Now, since this is our first group session, I thought we'd use this time to get to know a little bit about each other. Yes, we're all the same person, but we're still all unique in our own ways. How about we go around the circle introducing ourselves and giving a little fun fact?

*Springtrap rolls his eyes. The other human William checks his wristwatch.*

*He watches for a bit quietly, then decides to bite cause he can*

I don’t think too much is different other than different au’s and slightly different personalities. Though we all done want to be here.

J: The multiverse is infinite, William. Meaning, infinite possibilities. Whether you like it or not, you are all here for a reason, hm?

I’m here because my au’s creator wants me to be; not because I want to be.

*The other human William chuckles.* So you're religious?

No- my au’s creator just shares her au with a friend of hers and they are incredibly annoying. In fact- they are technically doing me being here at the moment so in the roleplay, her friend is sitting right next to me. And I’m starting to break the fourth wall so I’ll shut up before any consequences that are too negative happen.

*Everyone falls silent, staring at him.*

J: Haha, well, anyways! How about we discuss the people in our lives—or who were in our lives—that we all share? Maybe we can talk about Henry Emily first.

*He looks away for a moment to not laugh then turns his attention back*

What about him? Not too much to talk about with him.

(At work now but will respond when I can)

J: Well, what's your relationship to him?

He hates me. He sticks around to keep an eye on me and we’re both dead anyways, but otherwise he hates me.

Glitchtrap: Mine is gooooone, gone, gone.

*He looks at him curiously at that*

G: He's dead.

Ah- makes sense.

Springtrap: I have no idea where Henry is now.

… Hmm- who knows.

*He looks over at the other human William there*

*He is looking at his fingernails absentmindedly.*

Hm? Oh. Henry still works at Fazbear. He and I had a little.. scuffle.

*He raises an eyebrow at that*

He's not very happy with me after everything that happened at Freddy's, so I made my own business, Afton Robotics.

*He nods at that*

*He looks at Jasmine curiously*

What about yours? Just curious.

J: Oh, I think he moved to another state... Heh. Well, that was good! I'm glad everybody shared. Is there something on any of your minds that you wish to talk about?

Anything else you want to ask about him?

J: Hmm.. Do you have any nice memories about him?

Oh plenty- us working at Fredbear’s.

J: And how do those memories make you feel?

*He shrugs*

Eh- it was nice. Nice when he wasn’t reminding me every two seconds I killed his kids and wife 🙄

*The other human William goes into a giggle fit at that*

*He just smirks slightly at that reaction*

J: Now,. let's keep it civil.

It still is- just saying.

J: What I mean is, let's not laugh about that.

Buzzkill.

*He looks amused at that*

J: Would you be laughing if it were about Elizabeth?

*He thinks about it for a moment*

…………… Eh- probably.

*She sighs.*

J: Well, it looks like it's time. I'd like to send you all out with some homework. Do something kind for someone else—doesn't have to be extravagant or anything, just something simple. And then when we come back here next time we'll talk about it.

(Here’s the ask for the new thread I think-)

Dr. A turns a corner, and out of nowhere, there’s a Funtime Foxy variant in front of him.

“You… rehabilitate versions of William Afton, yes?” They ask hesitantly.

@ghost-inthe-machine

Ah, I cannae get a break. How did you get in here?

“Why, the same way anyone travels between universes, I imagine!” They reply cheerfully.

There’s a beat of silence, and he’s not sure if they’re waiting for him to reply, or…?

.... Okay. Yes, we rehabilitate them.

"To be completely honest with you, I don't know if my universe's William can be rehabilitated, but someone has to try something, or more people are going to get hurt."

There's an odd sound from somewhere in The Ringleader's chest, and suddenly, there's a black liquid dripping between the gaps in their faceplates. Dr. A recognizes it as Agony.

They wipe it away as quickly as it appears.

*Dr. A's expressions changes from annoyed to serious.*

Right. Are you able to take me to your universe?

Foxy nods, and suddenly, they arrive appear somewhere dark. “Shhh,” they warn quietly.

He hears a soft shifting from below, and he looks down to see something that looks more like a specter than an animatronic, a creature dripping with so much Agony, it's hard to make out much else about it.

What... is that?

“That’s him,” they reply. “Another universe’s William came down here with me last time, and he believes that the man who created me is still in there.”

*Dr. A sighs then presses a button clipped to his shirt.*

This is Dr. A requesting backup at my location, over.

“If something happens, I want you to get behind me,” Foxy tells him.

Suddenly, he’s aware of a quiet, high-pitched ringing sound.

*He winces and covers one ear*

Foxy’s eyes flicker purple for a fraction of a second, before switching back to yellow.

*He furrows his eyebrows, confused.*

"...What?"

Nothing.

"So... what now?"

We wait for my colleagues.

*Two men teleport next to Dr. A*

And here they are.

"Hello," Foxy greets, quiet as to not attract the William's attention.

1: What are we doing?

Retrieving a new Afton.

2: And you need backup for it? Isn't that, like, your job?

Will you shush? This Foxy seems to think the danger level is high, and I'm taking their word for it.

The specter turns, slowly, staring at them. He's covered in so much Agony that just making eye contact with him for too long causes a dull pain to blossom in a person's skull.

2: Ow- What the fuck is that?

Agony.

He starts approaching, slowly. Foxy goes tense.

Shit.

[Billie taps his glasses and then glows blue for a moment.]

Stay behind me, lads.

He gets closer, and the decrease in distance makes the pain worse.

*Springtrap rolls his eyes. The other human William checks his wristwatch.*

*He watches for a bit quietly, then decides to bite cause he can*

I don’t think too much is different other than different au’s and slightly different personalities. Though we all done want to be here.

J: The multiverse is infinite, William. Meaning, infinite possibilities. Whether you like it or not, you are all here for a reason, hm?

I’m here because my au’s creator wants me to be; not because I want to be.

*The other human William chuckles.* So you're religious?

No- my au’s creator just shares her au with a friend of hers and they are incredibly annoying. In fact- they are technically doing me being here at the moment so in the roleplay, her friend is sitting right next to me. And I’m starting to break the fourth wall so I’ll shut up before any consequences that are too negative happen.

*Everyone falls silent, staring at him.*

J: Haha, well, anyways! How about we discuss the people in our lives—or who were in our lives—that we all share? Maybe we can talk about Henry Emily first.

*He looks away for a moment to not laugh then turns his attention back*

What about him? Not too much to talk about with him.

(At work now but will respond when I can)

J: Well, what's your relationship to him?

He hates me. He sticks around to keep an eye on me and we’re both dead anyways, but otherwise he hates me.

Glitchtrap: Mine is gooooone, gone, gone.

*He looks at him curiously at that*

G: He's dead.

Ah- makes sense.

Springtrap: I have no idea where Henry is now.

… Hmm- who knows.

*He looks over at the other human William there*

*He is looking at his fingernails absentmindedly.*

Hm? Oh. Henry still works at Fazbear. He and I had a little.. scuffle.

*He raises an eyebrow at that*

He's not very happy with me after everything that happened at Freddy's, so I made my own business, Afton Robotics.

*He nods at that*

*He looks at Jasmine curiously*

What about yours? Just curious.

J: Oh, I think he moved to another state... Heh. Well, that was good! I'm glad everybody shared. Is there something on any of your minds that you wish to talk about?

Anything else you want to ask about him?

J: Hmm.. Do you have any nice memories about him?

Oh plenty- us working at Fredbear’s.

J: And how do those memories make you feel?

*He shrugs*

Eh- it was nice. Nice when he wasn’t reminding me every two seconds I killed his kids and wife 🙄

*The other human William goes into a giggle fit at that*

*He just smirks slightly at that reaction*

J: Now,. let's keep it civil.

It still is- just saying.

J: What I mean is, let's not laugh about that.

Buzzkill.

(Here’s the ask for the new thread I think-)

*When it’s time, he hears to the room where he needs to be.*

*Dr. Jasmine sits in the room along with three others: A human William dressed in a fabulous purple suit, a Glitchtrap, and a Springtrap.*

*He nods and goes to take his seat*

(Ignore my most recent ask lol- internet’s been being weird so wanted to be sure lol)

Dr. A turns a corner, and out of nowhere, there’s a Funtime Foxy variant in front of him.

“You… rehabilitate versions of William Afton, yes?” They ask hesitantly.

@ghost-inthe-machine

Ah, I cannae get a break. How did you get in here?

“Why, the same way anyone travels between universes, I imagine!” They reply cheerfully.

There’s a beat of silence, and he’s not sure if they’re waiting for him to reply, or…?

.... Okay. Yes, we rehabilitate them.

"To be completely honest with you, I don't know if my universe's William can be rehabilitated, but someone has to try something, or more people are going to get hurt."

There's an odd sound from somewhere in The Ringleader's chest, and suddenly, there's a black liquid dripping between the gaps in their faceplates. Dr. A recognizes it as Agony.

They wipe it away as quickly as it appears.

*Dr. A's expressions changes from annoyed to serious.*

Right. Are you able to take me to your universe?

Foxy nods, and suddenly, they arrive appear somewhere dark. “Shhh,” they warn quietly.

He hears a soft shifting from below, and he looks down to see something that looks more like a specter than an animatronic, a creature dripping with so much Agony, it's hard to make out much else about it.

What... is that?

“That’s him,” they reply. “Another universe’s William came down here with me last time, and he believes that the man who created me is still in there.”

*Dr. A sighs then presses a button clipped to his shirt.*

This is Dr. A requesting backup at my location, over.

“If something happens, I want you to get behind me,” Foxy tells him.

Suddenly, he’s aware of a quiet, high-pitched ringing sound.

*He winces and covers one ear*

Foxy’s eyes flicker purple for a fraction of a second, before switching back to yellow.

*He furrows his eyebrows, confused.*

"...What?"

Nothing.

"So... what now?"

We wait for my colleagues.

*Two men teleport next to Dr. A*

And here they are.

"Hello," Foxy greets, quiet as to not attract the William's attention.

1: What are we doing?

Retrieving a new Afton.

2: And you need backup for it? Isn't that, like, your job?

Will you shush? This Foxy seems to think the danger level is high, and I'm taking their word for it.

The specter turns, slowly, staring at them. He's covered in so much Agony that just making eye contact with him for too long causes a dull pain to blossom in a person's skull.

2: Ow- What the fuck is that?

Agony.

He starts approaching, slowly. Foxy goes tense.

Shit.

[Billie taps his glasses and then glows blue for a moment.]

Stay behind me, lads.
