Yesterday on Twitter I bore witness to something amazing — nine hours of Twitter-based Five Nights At Freddy‘s role-playing. It was horrible. I was riveted.
It began with Twitter user @Bad123Hoover peaking out of the music box.

@Bad123Hoover is playing as The Puppet, one of the more insidious antagonists of Five Nights At Freddy’s 2, who would attack the player of the hit horror sequel should they fail to keep a music box wound.
His call to roleplay is quickly answered by @buddy651, playing the part of Golden Freddy,
@Bad123Hoover *push the puppet back in* Nope

First they establish the initial conflict. The Puppet wants out of its music box, but Golden Freddy does not want him out. After a brief back-and-forth, The Puppet exercises its supernatural gifts.
@buddy651 fine *teleports out* too bad I’m out

Golden attempts to steal The Puppet’s powers, but The Puppet claims he has the same powers as Golden — in fact, he’s the one who transported Golden’s soul — that of one of the murdered children that started this whole macabre mess — into his animatronic suit in the first place.
It’s a questionable claim, one quickly forgotten as Golden drops a bombshell.
@Bad123Hoover *takes suit off* I’m not dead pic.twitter.com/tIsZ5Ydk6B

How can this be? According to Golden, killing the Purple Guy — the child murderer who set the series in motion — caused the victim within Golden Freddy to come back to life. The Puppet posits that such an action would have brought all of the victims of the Purple Guy back to life if that were the case. Golden says he chose to keep the gift of new life to himself.
Golden is kind of a dick.
What follows is a whirlwind of action and accusation. The Puppet teleports and tells Golden he’s dead. Golden begins channeling the spirit of the Purple Guy, united with his golden-haired victim in their hatred for The Puppet.
Hold on, trying to comprehend all of this.
OK, I think I’ve got it. The Puppet is the one who stuffed the murdered souls into the animatronic animal things. Purple, the murderer, has convinced Golden, the victim, that The Puppet trapped them out of spite, so they unite against The Puppet.
@buddy651 stop messing up his mind because I didn’t stuff them for u I did it so I could get my friends back and I didn’t want them dead
— BenDrowned (@Bad123Hoover) March 21, 2015
@buddy651 that’s it hahaha *calls withered animatronics and tells them to attack he watches them attack u*
— BenDrowned (@Bad123Hoover) March 21, 2015
Oh shit. It’s on.
Or it was on, Golden immediately takes control of the animatronics, causing The Puppet to flee. The animatronics close in, The Puppets powers are draining, the music box stuck to his back. Is this the end for The Puppet?
@buddy651 *the puppet vanishes and spring trap walks over* golden cmon stop! pic.twitter.com/yu3YwQCotn

Surprise! Just like a jump scare from the hit games, Spring Trap appears. For those of you playing along at home, Spring Trap is the main antagonist from Five Nights At Freddy’s 3, the only physical animatronic left, the rest rendered phantoms.
Wait, does this mean this is taking place in the third game’s time period? But… I am so confused.
To be completely honest, I have no idea what happens next. I just know it’s pretty awesome.
@buddy651 I WAS MADE BEFORE U AND EVERYONE INSTANTLY FORGOT ME WENT TO U LOVED U AS I GOT TO BARELY PLAY GUITAR U TRADER

@Bad123Hoover *disappears and appears behind you* sorry my friend *puts hand through the gut and crys a bit*
— Golden Freddy(v2) (@buddy651) March 22, 2015
@Bad123Hoover im sorry pic.twitter.com/ng1nMIzuUv
— Golden Freddy(v2) (@buddy651) March 22, 2015
Oh god, what happened? How can they possibly reconcile this?
Two hours later…
@Bad123Hoover welcome to fredbears and springtrap dinner
— Golden Freddy(v2) (@buddy651) March 22, 2015
At this point the pair have been at this for hours. Here they have opened a new children’s party restaurant, and they’re having some trouble not wanting to kill. Luckily a new player arrives, just in time.
@buddy651 @Bad123Hoover *becomes visible* here’s a wrench goldy . The hard drives in his back pull the lever to erase the memories

Who the hell is Rocky the Raccoon? According to some hastily assembled roleplaying, he’s the mascot of the restaurant Golden purchased to convert into the new place. Also…
@buddy651 @Bad123Hoover I’m rocky, video game expert and repairman (and an animatronic raccoon)
— rocky the raccoon (@rockyacadefnaf) March 22, 2015
They’re all getting along famously, until Rocky starts asking about someone named Penny.
@buddy651 @Bad123Hoover when you bought Rocky’s arcade what did you do with penny
— rocky the raccoon (@rockyacadefnaf) March 22, 2015
Hopefully nothing too horrible.
@rockyacadefnaf @Bad123Hoover nothing she ran i out with a knife so I crushed her
— Golden Freddy(v2) (@buddy651) March 22, 2015
Well that seems like a sane reaction to someone ran i out with a knife.
@buddy651 @rockyacadefnaf nah u watch it I listen hear it enjoy it to watch her get crushed into prices hahahahah it was hilarious
— BenDrowned (@Bad123Hoover) March 22, 2015
You are not helping, Spring Trap. No one wants to hear about a friend getting crushed to prices.
@buddy651 @Bad123Hoover *pulls out my sword* I knew it. Ur all insane *rises in the sky as my eyes turn red and my sword bursts into flames*
— rocky the raccoon (@rockyacadefnaf) March 22, 2015
Then battle happens. Amazing battle. Molten sword battle. An epic battle for the ages that rages on for nearly two hours, until…
@Bad123Hoover @penny_panda0 @cheastercheata welcome to Rocky’s arcade meet my girlfriend penny and my bestfriend chester
— rocky the raccoon (@rockyacadefnaf) March 22, 2015
I won’t spoil any more of this grand tale for you. Rest assured that nine hours after the epic roleplaying session began, it ended with a heh and a yeahhh.
@Bad123Hoover yeaahhhh
— Golden Freddy(v2) (@buddy651) March 22, 2015
Thanks to our players for their inspiring performance, which can be seen in its entirety here. Bravo. You have truly elevated the developers original work and made it your own.
