    Summary

    How could you forget the Plex closed early today?
    The doors are locked. There's no way out until morning.
    At least you know your favorite solar bot will happily keep you company.

    How could you know how eager his lunar counterpart was to meet you too?
    And the darkness that lurks inside of both of them, threatening to break out every time emotions run high...

    Summary

    There was something slumped beneath a tree, and you had no idea what it was.

    The sunlight shone brighter where it laid, despite the leaves above not differing from any of the other foliage.

    It was such a small thing to notice in comparison to everything else, but it brought a small hysterical giggle out past the lump in your throat as it finally clicked in place what you were seeing.

    It was a god.

    ────

    You are a peasant living in the middle of the woods, Sun is the god of day you brought back home with you, and Moon is the god of night tucked away in the Celestial Realm.

    Summary

    You get hired as the new daycare assistant and are no different from all the ones before you, unknowing of Sun and Moon's sentience, uncaring of your own words, and frustratingly wary. It's the same song and dance with every new hire, except... they just can't get you to leave.

    You've never wanted to hurt anyone, though. Someday, you're gonna have a lot to apologize for, and Sun and Moon deserve a lot of care.

    Summary

    You weren't a technician, you weren't a security guard, you weren't a daycare assistant. You're just an employee. Staff. The ‘jack-of-all-trades’ employee with mediocre at best skills and specialty in none, tasked with doing miscellaneous jobs that robots couldn't do and human staff couldn't care to. The job is unpredictable, but it pays good and it's relatively easy.

    Except for the part where all the animatronics are more sentient than you thought, and you're roped into a mystery surrounding the Daycare Attendants, who are bit too curious about you for your liking.

    You don't think this was in your employee contact.

    Summary

    When you are ten years old, you find two creatures, bloodied and injured, trapped a net on the beach near your home. You save them, make friends with them, and return them to the sea, leaving you to wonder later if your friends with the Sun colored scales and fins that shone like the full Moon were real or imagined up by a childhood of loneliess.

    Time passes. You hear stories of monsters, Sirens in the water, one that is a good omen if spotted, promising your safe voyage as long as you respect the rules of the ocean, and one that sinks ships and eats people for fun. Just folktales meant to scare children.

    A decade later, they return the favor, though they don't plan on leaving you so easily this time.
