(AN: This mostly abridged transcript of Markiplers' first episode of him playing FNAF 1, I have sprinkled a few changes here and there, but feel free to skip it at the -.-)
"Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and welcome to Five Nights at Freddy's, an indie horror game that you guys suggested, en masse, and I saw that Slim Kirby played it and he said it was really really good... So I'm very eager to see what is up. And that is a terrifying animatronic bear! 'Family pizzeria looking for security guard to work the nightshift.' Oh... 12 a.m. The first night. If I didn't wanna stay the first night, why would I stay any more than... five... Why I stay any more than two- hello? Okay…"
Phone rings
"Hello?... Hello? Oh, oh I can't move. That is a creepy skull, there's creepy things on the wall. Oh, hello." Mark
Phone Guy: Hello?
"Hi!" Mark
Phone Guy: Hello, hello?
"HI!" Mark
Phone Guy: Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night.
"Ugh…" Mark
Phone Guy: Um, I actually worked in that office before you.
"Ah…" Mark
Phone Guy: I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact.
Phone Guy: So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming..
"Ugh! U-hu-hu…" Mark
Phone Guy: ...but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week.
"Okay, sounds g- Okay…" Mark
Phone Guy: Okay? Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
"Okay." Mark
Phone Guy: A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike...where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced.
Phone Guy: Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know…
"Yeah!" Mark
Phone Guy: ...but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No.
"Eh heh gulp." Mark
Phone Guy: If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right?
"Okay!" Mark
Phone Guy: Okay.
"Okay…" Mark
Phone Guy: So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit.
"No they…" Mark
Phone Guy: Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night.
Mark: (Scared laughing)
Phone Guy: Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too, but then there was The Bite of '87.
"The bite?!" Mark
Phone Guy: Yeah.
"What bite!?" Mark
Phone Guy: I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?
"Why?!" Mark
Phone Guy: Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person.
"Oh, OH!" Mark
Phone Guy: They'll p-they'll most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to... forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Unfortunately or fortunately, we don't have the old springlock suits.
"Oh, I get it." Mark
Phone Guy: Um, now, Fazbear suit wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices…
"Uh-huh." Mark
Phone Guy: ...especially around the facial area.
"Uh-huh." Mark
Phone Guy: So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...
"Yeah!" Mark
Phone Guy: ...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh.
"Ugh! Oh, why... What happened?" Mark
Phone Guy: Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary.
"That's not good…" Mark
Phone Guy: Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night.
Call ends
"Good night?! Oh no... Oh that's bad! I understand what I need to do. I need to watch the cams so that they don't come after m- One's missing!" Mark
…
Music starts
"No. You're still there. You're still there. You're still there. You're looking at me now." Mark
Foxy is in Pirate Cove
"Hi, Pirate Cove man! O-oh! Oh my god... Oh, where'd they go? Still there. Still there? Pirate Cove Man! How you doin? Oh man, I love workin' at Didney Worl' (mockup of Disney World), it's ma favorite…" Mark
Foxy enters his pre-sprint phase
"Hi! What are you doing out of your cage?! Please, get back in! I don't want you out of here! Oh, he's coming for me! Oh, he's coming for me! Oh, why do I have to watch three of them? I am like legit freaking out right now. I am not okay with this. Oh god, they moved. Where'd you move to? Oh, you're coming down the hallway, huh? Which one are ya? You've not left Pirate Cove yet... You're still there... You're coming down that hallway... Pirate Cove Man, how you doing Pirate Cove Man?" Mark
Camera goes static
"No! I got 2 hours left! No no no! No! What is that sound?" Mark
Bonnie is in W. Hall Corner
"Oh, he's right there. Well, he's not here just yet. I don't wanna run out of power. Oh, the sounds, I don't like 'em." Mark
Foxy sprints to office
"Ah, fuck! No! Oh god!" Mark
Foxy attacks!
"Ah-hah, fucking fuck! I tried to push it! Ho-Ho my god! Oh... Oh…" Mark
Game Over
"Oh, game over indeed! Oh, are those my eyeballs? Ah... (coughs) Oh hi... Okay. So that was 'Five Nights at Freddy's'. I couldn't even survive two. God dammit! Hah! Oh, god! Oh, I tried to hit the door- I tried so bad... Oh... Okay. Okay, thank you all so much for watching, check out the other scary games that I've played, and if you wanna play this for yourself, you can check it in the description below. If you really want me to play it again and try to beat it, let me know in the comments below. Thanks again everybody, and as always, I will see you in the next video. Bye-Bye!" Mark
Mark ended his recording to start editing out the video to be posted later that day. So far, Mark liked the game it was a little early to call it a good game. But he was having fun. Mark didn't have high hopes of the video doing as well as the SCP game he played last week. For now, he would post and record more videos. How long could it take to get through five nights in-game?
Little did Mark know he had just played a game that would skyrocket his channel up another three million subscribers. A game that one day he would claim to be the King of. Then, try to sell his crown two games later.
-.-
July 29, 2010
I looked at the message from Valve. My game, Five Nights at Freddy's, had just sold over a million copies. I had just earned 3,500,000 USD. I sold each game at 5 USD a pop, and Valve took 30% of all monetary transactions on their platform. Now usually that 3.5 mill would be subjected to tax, but due to my perk of no bills ever, I got to keep the full amount. I had yet to release the game on mobile. I decided to add some paid cheats on mobile if you wanted to make the game easier on yourself. A modder could do the same on PC for free, but mobile was a closed system. Harder to mod.
I had placed a release date of September for Five Nights at Freddy's 2. That would give me all of August to improve my skills and maybe make a suit for Gwen. You may have wondered how I got FNaF to sell so well so quickly. Well to start the indie game making career, you need level 10 in the Nerd influencer social stat. And the fastest way to do that is by using my Lifetime Reward points and when I ran out, I just boosted it further with comic books. On a side note you get an additional trait for getting any of the three Social group stats to level 9. So I decided to get Natural Cook to both improve my meal quality and cut down on the time I spend cooking. I wonder if I hit Food Wars levels of cooking. I'll find out next time I invite Gwen and Jubilee over.
Today I spent my day training in martial arts and finally reached level 7 in the skill. I debated going to the library to max out my logic skill or staying home to work on my art and writing skills. Inventing could wait since it wasn't tied to my work on game making. Athletics was leveling with my martial arts practice, so I decided to only focus on it when I maxed out my martial arts skill. I guess I could dive into Mixology since it does get a boost from the natural cook trait. Nah, to the library, logic is the closest to being maxed out.
August 1, 2010
My red eyes read the final page of Logic Vol. 3: 3.14159265. 38.5 hours of studying the written word of Sim Greek loons.
"Formula equations I can see the numbers that wrote the world around me. I'm a Logic God, and Loki will bow before me-"
"So much for a logic god. Pour girl passed out. To be fair, she has been here way before I got here. Geeze Walker, watch over your charge better. She has been in the library for days now and has had minimal food and water. And she really needs a shower. Guess the least I can do is take her home." Daniel Shaw "Hey Chiaki, wake up." Shaw started to shake Chiaki
"The universe is aaaa lie buy gold buy gold."
"Yeah, she is out of it. Let's try some water that woke me up in boot camp." Shaw
"Agh, Hiya," Chiaki flipped Daniel Shaw over her shoulder. "What are you doing, you Clark Kent looking mother fucker."
"Ow, sorry, but I was trying to wake you up. You really shouldn't fall asleep in the library. It's dangerous for a young woman to sleep in a public area like this. Can I drive you home?" Shaw
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"My name is Daniel Shaw. I'm a coworker of Sarah Walker. Are you okay enough for a drive out of here?" Shaw
Great of another S.H.E.I.L.D agent. I really shouldn't trust him, for all I know, he is a Hydra spy. If he were, he would of just kidnapped me when I fell asleep. God, why does this guy look like Superman Man form Superman Returns? Well, Todd Ingram from Scott Pilgrim would be the more recent example. But with that black hair, he looks closer to the man of steel instead of I get super powers because I'm vegan. Okay, Chiaki just breathe you need to get home and get some proper sleep.
"Okay Shaw, you can take me home. Do you need my address or do you know it from your co-worker?"
"I have your home address, so we're good to go." Shaw
"Okay, I'm in your care."
The trip to my home was uneventful. Well, even if it was eventful, I was so out of it that I doubt I would have noticed anything. I waved goodbye before I stumbled my way to my bed to sleep.
August 2, 2010
Well, I'm awake. Time to make some breakfast. I decided to make some fruit parfait. After that, I trained my martial arts skill till I was fatigued. I slipped into the bath and relaxed. Meicoomon just relaxed on the sink top.
"Okay, let's see what I got for maxing out my Logic skill."
[Logic Skill has been maxed out! Rolling for reward across other videogame worlds]
[Reward: Complete Grimoire of Sorceries (Elden Ring)]
[You can now complete Logic Skill-related challenges for additional pulls from (Elden Ring)]
A thick blue book appeared in my hand, and I placed it in my inventory. I didn't want it to get wet. After I finished my bath, I took a closer look at the magic tomb I just got. That's when I hit my first snag. All of the Sorceries needed a magic focus to cast. I tried to use one of the wands I could buy from Buy Mode. It worked, but after 10 casts of any low-tier spell, the wand would disintegrate. I could only cast 5 mid-tier spells and 3 high-tier.
{Low Tier Spells Int 1-30: Glintstone Pebble, Unseen Blade, Swift Glintstone Shard, Glintstone Stars, Scholar's Armament, Scholar's Shield, Glintstone Arc, Carian Slicer, Magic Glintblade, Night Maiden's Mist, Frozen Armament, Glintstone Icecrag, Magic Downpour, Lucidity, Shatter Earth, Starlight, Great Glintstone Shard, Unseen Form, Carian Retaliation, Gravity Well, Glintstone Nail, Crystal Burst, Night Shard, Rock Sling, Thops's Barrier, Terra Magica, Freezing Mist, Rock Blaster, Glintblade Phalanx, Ambush Shard, Crystal Barrage, Carian Greatsword, Star Shower, Cannon of Haima, Gavel of Haima, Miriam's Vanishing, Loretta's Greatbow, Carian Piercer, Shard Spiral, Glintblade Trio, Greatblade Phalanx, and Meteorite}
{Mid Tier Spells Int 31-59: Glintstone Nails, Adula's Moonblade, Carian Phalanx, Eternal Darkness, Gravitational Missile, Cherishing Fingers, Collapsing Stars, Glintstone Cometshard, Zamor Ice Storm, Night Comet, Shattering Crystal, Crystal Release, Fleeting Microcosm, Stars of Ruin, Loretta's Mastery, Crystal Torrent, Blades of Stone, Comet, Founding Rain of Stars, and Meteorite of Astel}
{High Tier Spells Int 60-99: Comet Azur, Ranni's Dark Moon, Rennala's Full Moon, and Rellana's Twin Moons}
Each wand cost me §1080. Which isn't much to me now, but it's not sustainable in the long term. I would need a better magical focus in the long run. Maybe one of the challenges would give me a better magical focus.

[Reward: Flask of Wondrous Physick with all Tears (Elden Ring)]
(AN: I'm not going to copy out all the tears out just look it up for yourself.)
"Well, that's useful, but not a magic focus. Know what, I'll just work on my painting skill. I'm just going to spend my lifetime happiness points. I got 80K stockpiled after releasing FNaF 1 and maxing out logic.
Honorary Degree: Pick a degree of your choice without attending University! 50,000LPH.

"Okay, time to finally start reading the recipe for Ambrosia. It only costed me §12000."
I decided to read the book at home. It's not like I'm trying to stay away from the library to keep away from Shaw or anything. No, no, I'm just going to dive straight into painting right after this, so there is no point in leaving the house.
[7 days, and 14 large paintings later.]
[Painting Skill has been maxed out! Rolling for reward across other videogame worlds]
[Reward: Professor E Gadd's Magic Paintbrush (Mario)]
[You can now complete Painting Skill-related challenges for additional pulls from (Mario)]
"Well, this is a big ass paintbrush, alright. It might be useful if I could make it smaller- Oh neat." The paintbrush shrank to a more manageable size. The paintbrush could change it's size and what color of paint it could use on the fly without having to clean the brush when changing colors. Well, if nothing else, the paintbrush could be used as a bat in a tight squeeze.
"Okay, let's check what I need for the challenges."
Brushmaster
Brushmasters have painted at least 30 paintings, and as a result, they paint much faster than normal painters.
Proficient Painter
Proficient Painters have proven their worth by painting at least 6 brilliant paintings. They tend to paint far more brilliant paintings and masterpieces than less proficient Sims.
Master Painter
Master Painters have painted at least 5 masterpieces. Every painting they sell is worth oodles more than the work of normal artists.
"So I need 3 more brilliant paintings and 4 more masterpieces. And another 11 paintings for Brushmaster. Well, I'm not grinding of skill levels, so I can just paint a bunch of small paintings instead."
[5 days, and 12 small paintings later.]
August 18, 2010

"Okay, I'll ask them to come over."

"Alright."

"Miss Potts?" Agent Coulson
"Yes." Pepper Potts
"Can I speak to you for a moment?" Agent Coulson
"I'm not part of the press conference, but it's about to begin right now." Pepper Potts
"I'm not a reporter. I'm Agent Phil Coulson, with the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division." Agent Coulson
"That's quite a mouthful." Pepper Potts
" I know. We're working on it." Agent Coulson
"You know, we've been approached already by the DOD, the FBI, the CIA…" Pepper Potts
"We're a separate division with a more specific focus. We need to debrief Mr. Stark about the circumstances of his escape." Agent Coulson
"I'll put something in the book, shall I?" Pepper Potts
"Thank you." Agent Coulson
"Well, let's get this started, uh…" Obadiah Stane
"Hey, would it be all right if everyone sat down? Why don't you just sit down? That way you can see me, and I can... A little less formal and…" Tony Stark
"What's up with the love-in?" James Rhodes
"Don't look at me. I don't know what he's up to." Pepper Potts
"Good to see you." Tony Stark
"Good to see you." Obadiah Stane
"I never got to say goodbye to Dad. I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions that I would have asked him. I would have asked him how he felt about what this company did. If he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch the man we all remember from the newsreels. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability." Tony Stark
"Mr. Stark!" Reporters
"Hey, Savannah." Tony Stark
"What happened over there?" Savannah Guthrie
"I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I have more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark International until such a time as I can decide what the future of the company will be." Tony Stark
"I think we're gonna be selling a lot of newspapers." Obadiah Stane
"What direction it should take, one that I'm comfortable with and is consistent with the highest good for this country, as well." Tony Stark
"What we should take away from this is that Tony's back! And he's healthier than ever. We're going to have a little internal discussion and we'll get back to you with the follow-up." Obadiah Stane
-.-
"Yeash, Mr.Stark looks rough." Jubilee
"Well, to be fair, he was kidnapped for over six months. Held in captivity. I'm shocked he didn't look thinner." Gwen
"Definitely looks tanner. He must have been out in the desert sun a lot. I would hate to be currently employed by Stark Industries right now."
"Why?" Jubilee
"He just shut down the weapon division; a lot of people are going to be out of a job. And even though Tony Stark is back, their stock prices are going to plummet."
"How low do you think they're going to go?" Gwen
"Well, I'll be shocked if they stay in triple digits over the next two months. I think the cheapest they will get is around 80 bucks. I think that's when I'll buy out as many as I can."
"How much are you planning on investing?" Gwen
"Five thousand bucks."
"Woo, that's a whole lot of Ms." Jubilee
"Shouldn't you be saving that for college?" Gwen
"Nope, not planning on going to college. I'm just going to keep working on video games."
"Oh, that's right, what game are you working on?" Jubilee
"Oh, just a game set in 1987."
