Silly Snacks back up

   A handheld camera footage from the perspective of sitting on a table as an early twenty something guy talks into the camera:

  About 15 years ago the Silly Snacks Circus doll factory burned down; it was a really bad fire that took out the factory and ware house A; ware house B and C which were down the street were fine though. It hurt the company but the dolls are just one of their tie in merchandice brands; they started with snack foods, moved onto resturaunts, then started to make dolls, action figures, and even board games and a cereal. All of this existed when this one of over thirty doll factories in this country alone burned down. I heard though this had been the first doll factory they had made, and that's why the arsonist targeted it. The news said after a police investigation that the arsonist was one of those crazed fans who burned it down because they had changed the look of one of their mascots; Jessie Jester. Its not the first time; from what I looked up the character started off in some over the top purple outfit with a crazy huge two horn jester hat, a collar with like ten points sticking out with bells on them, and a purple, white, and black diamonds outfit; really crazy looking. They toned that down to a more real world looking Jester costume before switching to something sexy looking, a black on one side; red on the other corset pushing up painted white boobs; like Victorian corset quality, arms and hands covered in white fabric;  these crazy short-shorts that were one half red, one half blue, blue lined up the red side of corset and red with black side of corset. It was wearing stockings, blue on one leg under the red side of shorts, red on the blue side of shorts, but the stockings only went just above the knee and there was a white cloth between pants and stockings. She had blue hair, I think the character always had blue hair but it wasn't as noticable under the huge hats which it now lacked; and a white painted face with red circles on the cheeks, red lips, and pink eyes. They had added white bunny ears with a blue interior to this design after a few years. From what I read this design was made to cash in on the popularity of a famous comic book character that dressed very similarly. The Harlequin Hammer Girl. The bunny ears added more to look just enough less like the character to be safe from copyright infringement as I think they weren't sure the rest was different enough.

   Well at the time Jessie Jester had been moved to their Nightmare Circus brand as some people thought she looked creepy; and became a popular attraction beside the Doll Collector, Har Har the Clown, Slash Burn the Clown, Charles and Charlene the Ring Masters, and of course the Devil Doll. But like 15 years ago one of the higher ups in the company wanted to bring back Jessie Jester as the face of the Silly Snacks brand, whose then current mascot had been some forgetible dog wearing a white clown cone hat. So they cleaned up her image, meaning they mostly changed her body from the tight pseudo-revealing outfit to a red full length but simple red velvet dress with black polka dots, made the red cheeks pink, but kept the bunny ears; only made them droop a little. Which apparently was enough that some crazed fan of Nightmare Circus burned down the oldest Silly Snacks doll factory which had started to make dolls of her new look as part of the Silly Snacks Friends kid friendly toy line; while discontinuing her older design's production for the Nightmare Circus line.

  Now I mention all of that because they had shortly after the fire repaired the building, but then out no where fenced off the building and marked it off limits. Which brings me to my weird ass adventure. See I am a contributor for a site that films explorations of abandoned buildings, and this was my challenge; a little bit of home work on the site to make a good intro and then sneak in with a camera.

  *ZEEEET*

   -Camera static, shots of steps, concrete floors, *STATIC*, footage cutting out, darkness and foot steps, rows upon rows of metal shelves covered in boxes. Footage shows man's hands opening boxes, finding random bits of red cloth, blue cloth, black cloth, white cloth, buckets of paint-

   "Fuck", he exclaims opening a box full of broken white masks, torn clear plastic ones, smashed wooden ones. The most common features being the chin and lower jaw section broken off in various ways or else ripped between the lips and torn along the jaw line, "Jesus Fuck Man..."

   -Footage cuts out, till darkness; and a high pitched woman's voice-

  "Pretty, Pretty, boy; what are you doing here? Is it my birthdaaa.aa.aaay...already?"

  The voice has an electronic recording sound to it, breaking up at times, "P, prreeeteeey, li, li...*zeet *CLANK!*, All better. Pretty boy, pretty, pretty boy, come to play with me? Its been so long?"

   The sound of tripping and a "Oh fuck!" and something soft smacking around, revealed when the lights come on suddenly to be a ball bit. The man raises up his camera through the multi-colored balls, a hint of something white through the miniscule spaces in the balls as he stands. He sees it and backs up slowly. A pair of white bunny ears with blue sparkly inner linings rises up slowly, followed by blue straight hair, and a faded greyish white mask with blue paint around the eye holes, and red compound hexagon segments fulling the eye holes like some demonic insect machine were looking back through the mask. The sides of the head and under the jaw are white cloth glued down and while the mask looks like a typical masculine plain white halloween party mask only old and faded the lips are painted white. The figure rises up above chest height, the neck is adorned with a white jester collar drooping oer the shoulders and between the large but clearly a stuffed bra bosom, oversized puffy shoulders like someone tried to make a coat out of oversized shirts and stuffed them; this figure is wearing the one side red the other side black of the Jessie Jester Nightmare Circus design.

   "Just some fucked up prank," says the man, "Okay, whose down there," despite his words he is hesitant to take a step forward. One of the arms raises up, the jerky movement of the arm revealing that while the upper arm has some thick padding the lower arm is too thin and straight to be human with a tube like material under the cloth and the gloves are draped over very thin and segmented joints, like the fingers of a robot or skeleton. The lips part, a slit between the lips and up the jawline seperating showing mechanical teeth inside and nothing else, no cheeks, no flesh, no tongue, but what looks to be a sponge and a clear tube in the lower jaw.

   "Pretty boy come over here and play with me," the voice comes out of the mouth; and the camera next shows running, more crackling up of the image until the camera is dropped. Something is walking slowly into view in the ware house; its the Jessie Jester from the ball bit, however it is very top heavy, the abdomen is hidden by the corset but the waist is too small, the short shorts as tiny as they are tied on by some mesh tube and what looks like the hips and thighs of some soft doll under stockings but, they are thick and thin in a way that is noticably too short as the legs bend, the knees bending four inches below the thicker material, the white stockings as well as the red and black just like the classic design clearly just overlapping some rolled up or tube like padding just over a mechanical endoskeleton and a pair of shoes, one black, the other clearly painted over with red paint, and a size or two too big for these feet. Its movements are jerky, bent over, its top heavy build clearly a burden as it walks, arms out ahead of it almost like a zombie for balance.

   It looks down at the camera, its red eyes glowing like headlights as the mouth slowly parts and a hissing sound like an air outtake on an old machine can be heard. It walks past the camera and it turns off. The clock on it indicating several hours have passed, going from 1am to 4am when it is back on.
