Physical Appearance[]
Moondrop the jester is a plastic figurine within the Moondrop's Dream Sphere. He resembles his animatronic counterpart, with half of his face is a smiling pale crescent moon while the other half is eclipsed in darkness. Moondrop wears a cap and puffy blue pants decorated in stars and a gray top with a frilly collar. Bells hang from his hat, both wrists, and tips of his shoes. When the Dream Sphere is activated, Moondrop’s eyes glow red.
On the book's cover, Moondrop's left eye remains white with pink spirals, while the right eye has the inverse effect of being pink with white spirals.
Functionality[]
Moondrop is used in a Fazbear Entertainment themed Dream Sphere, which can be used for educational purposes. The Dream Sphere hypnotizes people, causing them to see things written down on paper manifest into pictures. These dream spheres are sold at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex and cost a thousand tickets to buy. The Dream Sphere packaging recommends that the sphere be only used for 10 minutes a day. When Sam Barker goes over the time limit, his personal memories start seeping into the simulation.
History[]
Somniphobia[]
While the actual physical Daycare Attendant doesn't appear, an astral projection replica of Moon serves as the main antagonist. At some point in time, one of Moon's Dream Spheres ended up in the hands of a kid named Josh, who ended up in a coma.
Sam and his friends purchase the Dream Sphere at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex in an attempt to avoid studying. Moondrop appears in every transition between the simulations, waving to whoever is using the sphere. Sam calls first dibs on the sphere and ends up getting addicted to it. He starts using it for 20 minutes a day. Sam was able to see long lost memories of his father when he was still alive, filling a hole in his heart.
Sam uses the Dream Sphere so much that he becomes physically connected to the sphere. When it is unplugged, Sam feels disconnected and unable to focus on reality. He becomes more erratic, wanting to push people away. He even starts getting weaker physically. After spending some time away from the sphere, wanting to prove he wasn't obsessed with it, he gives in and goes into another simulation. Sam ends up in a perpetual loop, reliving his dad's death over and over again.
Sam is able to break free from the simulation and wake up. He decides to return the sphere to Raad, who isn't home. The guys want to use it for another study session. As Sam waits in Raad's house, temptation returns as the Dream Sphere moves on its own without being plugged in. Moon appears and Sam tells him to give him his best memory. Instead, Moon sends Sam to his dream world. His dad was still alive and he conquered his fear of Jules by beating him in an arm wrestling match.
In reality, Raad's dog Brudus was biting off his face. Sam, balancing between both realities, crawls to the bathroom. Moon appears and all of Sam's pain goes away. Sam dies as he follows Moondrop to the unknown.
Bobbiedots, Part 1[]
“The Sun robot was an old stage animatronic. Part of its theatrical schtick was to turn evil when the stage lights went off. When it was reprogrammed to be the day care attendant, the performance functions were taken out, but the darkness trigger couldn’t be removed. That, combined with the occasional blackouts in the day care, created the Moon side of the attendant, which results in several undesirable behaviors. Apparently, they had meetings about what to do, and they decided that fixing Sun was more trouble than it was worth. It’s cheaper to just make sure the lights stay on.” |
Abe is training the new Pizzaplex employee Preston. He explains the origin story of the Daycare Attendant while showing him how to fix the generators in the Superstar Daycare. The Daycare Attendant was originally meant to be a character in the Fazbear Theater, with Sun as the main character and Moon as his dark side. Eventually, he was converted from a stage performer to the Daycare Attendant. However, the triggers used to activate Moon were unable to be removed. Moon remained a consistent glitch in the programming.
In the Superstar Daycare, the lights often went out. Rather than spend time and resources fixing the problem, the company installed the generators in case the power goes out abruptly. Fazbear Entertainment also didn't want to spend money fixing Sun, so they kept Moon and made his split personality a gimmick, along with the lights going out. As Abe finishes the exposition, Moon himself appears.
He calls Abe a naughty boy, reminding him of how he had faked his way into working at the Pizzaplex to avoid being homeless. It gave him an epiphany that he wasn't doing very good, but had to do what he needed to do to survive. Abe helps Preston turn on the generators, reverting Moon back into Sun.
Trivia[]
- The Daycare Attendant's two personalities are the mascots of two types of candy, named Moondrop and Sunnydrop respectively. Given their descriptions of "Sleepy-time candy" and "Energizing candy", the candies seem to be a form of supplement to help kids sleep and have more energy respectively. Interestingly, the Daycare Attendant’s Moon form is known as his nickname Moondrop in Somniphobia.
- It is implied that Moon represents or is possessed by Sam’s dead father since after Sam dies, he helped Sam move past his pain.
