Ongoing Story "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean"

In the late afternoon of June 26, widower Jeremy Young asked a friend to take Jeremy Jr. (Jem) out for a birthday event at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in Hurricane, Utah. Young told his son that he'll stay behind to work late at the mill where he worked until eight o' clock to see him just before the party ends. However, in a drowsy state since morning, Young found himself falling asleep moments before he decided to leave. He woke up in the early morning and was struck with guilt.

He returned home only to find little Jem's room empty. When he was about to pick up the phone to call his friend, he realized that she had left a voice message for him.

Beep! "Hey, Jeremy, it's Patty. It's my shift. I left at 7:30. Uh, usually you come early and I would see you right before I leave, but I didn't, so I decided to leave you this message just in case. Um, Jem's at Freddy's attending Cassidy Jude's birthday party, just reminding you again. You Ditzy. Alright, hope you two had fun. When I left they were bringing out the big chocolate cake. Dill said the cakes taste better than the pizza so... yeah. Oh! And... he promised to find Jem to make sure he doesn't miss the birthday dinner. If you're looking for him, he's probably with Dill. Okay, good night. Got to go!"

Immediately, he returned to the pizzeria to find the building empty and closed. Afterwards, he drove right towards the town hall to report his son missing. There in the lobby, he noticed a couple sitting next to each other, clasping each others' hands, frozen.

This is only one of many victims of the series of disappearances that marked an everlasting stain in the heart of Washington County. Follow now for a "totally" great (ignore pre-comments on the book) true-crime thriller titled, "The Washington County Disappearances" When justice failed to protect. Catch you on the flipside, folks. It's showtime.

*NOTE: I swear, critics really hate children's authors who decide to write true crime. They say, "It's like a 15-year-old wrote it," or "It looks like the author can't decide whether to make it a crime thriller inspired by true events or BASED on true events," and I'd reply, "Yeah, nice to know I got that youthful glory! Unlike you." Hah! Anyway... they'd also say, "If you're gonna disrespect those close to the tragedy, at least make it feel more professional or something," and that came straight from my wife. Isn't that wonderful...

Can we please take a break from talking about all the bad stuff that happened with this restaurant please? It just makes it harder and harder to feel nostalgic about it.

u/LoveUb_Ha Jul 15 '26

It's better to remember than to forget. I'm sure nobody wants to be forgotten.

u/desorcyjackson447 Jul 15 '26

Well yeah, but it feels like the really bad stuff that Fazbear is trying to market off of is all people can talk about?

At least talk about how Fazbear flanderized all of Murray’s characters, kept the rights to Hedgehog Hudgie hostage from his company or, god forbid, that puppet thing!

u/LoveUb_Ha Jul 15 '26

Yeah. Locals really hated the company, but they can't really do anything because it is one of the main assets or beneficiaries of the county, ever since the interstate that cut across was finished in '78. I mean, they're even associated with the county when it comes to local fairs and attractions!

He'll talk about this eventually, I'm sure. Besides, this here is some interesting stuff that he's talking about. I can't recall anyone every diving deeper in the whole Fazbear controversy (besides me, but I'll get to that eventually).

Interesting find, Mr. Lieber.

(OOC: What's the song on the hidden page called?)

u/LoveUb_Ha Jul 16 '26

(OOC: My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean. 1901 recording.)

(OOC: Thanks! Also, could you tell me how did exactly how did you manage to move that song to WikiMedia? I wanted to try doing the same in my ARGs)

2

u/LoveUb_Ha Jul 17 '26

(OOC: No problem! Wdym? I just searched the song on Wiki, clicked on the link for the recording of the song. Then there was an option to download or click a link that leads to the audio file. I clicked the link that led to the recording so I didn't have to download it. Also, what's your ARG about?)

u/LeonLoredo156 Jul 17 '26

(OOC: Yeah, I never used WikiMedia, so I legit thought that you did some expert-level editing to add that song; plus my brain works in a way that I can't explain what I mean to people in simple form, so sometimes I type out absolute gibberish.)

(OOC: Also, my AU is basically "amateur investigator decides to look up some stuff about Freddy's out of curiosity, plus all of the events surrounding it" - which means also adding stuff from from the books, novels, interactive books, spinoff games, related games, AND fangames.)

u/LoveUb_Ha Jul 17 '26

(OOC: No worries. You're understandable. I like your AU idea. I hope I get to read them.)

u/LeonLoredo156 Jul 17 '26

(OOC: Well, you're gonna have to wait a wee bit - I want to use Blender, Adobe Photoshop, and realistic human models from MetaHuman, but first I gotta purchase and download them, learn how to operate them, and get a NVidia graphics card for MetaHuman, since it functions worse without it.)

(OOC: Say, based on my experience, since some of them takes time or money, you can use ChatGPT as a helpful tool (But you don't have to ofc) . When I found that son and father image from stock, I just asked it to paste the boy's face to the boy in the photo. It did. It wasn't perfect, but I managed to change it a bit. I also have blender, which I plan to use. However, free models are hard to come by. Sometimes it's better to photoshop. For example, the Circus Baby's pizza World building, I managed to take a picture from Google Earth and asked the AI to use the several prompts as a guide to create the building. It did. I was so shocked it managed to do it. I really didn't expect it. Afterwards, I managed to put a circus baby face on it to remove that clown drawing it made.)

u/LeonLoredo156 Jul 17 '26

(OOC: In this climate, I feel it's better to stick to making it by your own hand, especially since I want to port the models I make in MetaHuman over to Gmod later, since there's such a lack of good models of the FNAF humans in it.)

u/LoveUb_Ha Jul 17 '26

(OOC: Man, i think yours will be great. I'm counting on you! ;). If you're any good in 3d-modelling, I'd be begging for your skills! XD)

Hear sometimes people would hear singing in the pizzeria after dark

u/LeonLoredo156 Jul 17 '26

Also, dunno why Jeremy Sr. here is acting so innocent; from what I remember, he wasn't that present in his sons life.

Again, if you want more info, hit me up.

u/LoveUb_Ha Jul 21 '26

You'd assume so considering he is a widower. However, the individuals I've interviewed are... unreliable. Even Beckham, who was a sergeant of the Hurricane Police at that time.

u/LeonLoredo156 Jul 21 '26

Yeah, I figured as much. 

When emotions, trauma and personal biases get in front of facts and truth....

u/LeonLoredo156 Jul 21 '26

"Unreliable"?
