Susan Woodings

"BSI technical support, audio log number 3, June 30th, 1974. Jeremys birthday party finished an hour ago, I decided to stay and help the employees clean the place ,this week has been uh... strange. especially because of the opening, I find it weird that they opened the place even though Mr. Walten disappeared a few weeks ago... i hope he's doing alright, Rosemary came today and asked us if we've seen him around, im pretty worried about it, Felix seems very concerned and worried too... anyways the birthday party, everything went according to plan! this is the first birthday party in the restaurant and i feel it turned out pretty well! I noticed a few irregularities in the stage, and in the audio animatronics. As the engineer, and the person who basically built the animatronics to begin with, it was easier to notice these... especially in Bon. something felt off, the limbs weren't moving properly, they looked stiff and odd, mainly in his right arm, I may take a few more minutes to take him to the backstage, just to see if everything's okay. I'm the only one left, Chris left some hours ago and Felix didn't even show up, I'll leave and close the restaurant when i'm finished i'm sure it won't take long-"

- Susan from BunnyFarm

Susan Woodings is a major character in The Walten Files. She is the Head Technician who built The Showstoppers and originally programmed them. She has been missing since 06/30/1974, which was the night where she was stuffed into Banny, and possibly died of starvation later.

History

WIP

Appearance

Susan is a white woman with fluffy, brown hair, a tall, rectangular head, a long nose, green eyes, and a flat mouth. She wears a green dress shirt and possibly jeans with dress shoes.

Relocate Project

She doesn't show up until the second tape, where she is the one shown being inside Banny. It is strongly implied that she starved to death whilst inside Banny, as shown with the clip of her trying to escape a four-corridor hallway as a TTS voice repeatedly says, "The rabbit is starving". Right after the scene of Banny inside of a cage, her missing poster is shown.

BunnyFarm

BunnyFarm gives Banny her own section, which gives more details on Susan. Through an audio log, she talks about how the restaurant hosted its first birthday party, how Jack had gone missing a month before the restaurant opened, and how Bon needed some maintenance due to his left arm not working properly. She was the only one at the restaurant after hours as Felix had not shown up to work that day, and Chris had already left. This meant that she had to perform the task alone. After a short scene of gameplay, featuring a purple character sprite with her face overlaying its head, she approaches Bon. Right as she gets close, the screen glitches before showing a greyscale image of Bon, with his hand grabbing towards the screen and his eyes twitching around, with distorted music, before showing Susan's picture glitching and appearing to "melt" at the eyes and mouth. Right after, another picture of her face is shown, though this looking more similar to her first appearance rather than the photo of her shown earlier. Some distorted music plays, and then her face fades into looking very shriveled, with bloodshot eyes, green skin, and blood on her face. After this, the music silences, and then the shriveled face fades unto an image of a Banny head with some blood on her snout.

After this, the player character is back to being Bon, and in front of them is a present. When interacted with, an image appears on screen, which is of what appears to be Susan's body slouched in a corner. On the bottom left, some text appears, saying: "I am still alive, but I can't move. And I'm having trouble breathing, and my stomach feels weird." Shortly after, following a corrupted victory screen, Susan's mangled face appears behind Banny's face as it seems to "melt" away.

Cyberfun Tech

Cyberfun Tech gives us the biggest amount of information on Susan so far in the series. She was originally an employee of Cyberfun Tech, but after the two companies merged, she became the lead technician of Bunny Smiles Inc, as well as a technical engineer, animatronic designer, and she was also the CT technical supervisor. During the Cyberfun Console segment of the video, we hear a series of recorded interactions between her and Charles Brook, her fellow technician. The first consists of them simply testing Banny's movement awareness, which needs further testing. The second recording picks up in the middle of a conversation between the two. Felix hasn't shown up at the restaurant yet, and Charles is worried about it. Susan responds by saying Felix is probably "out drinking somewhere in town". Charles asks whether Jack or Rose know, to which Susan replies that they don't. Charles then says they have to tell them, saying "even Chris knows" in reference to Felix's alcoholism. This statement seems to imply that almost everyone aside from the Waltens knew about Felix's alcohol addiction. Susan responds by telling Charles they should just focus on their work, sounding rather disheartened. During the facial tracking section, it notably takes much longer for Sha to recognize Susan's face than Charles. The next conversation between them is 11 days after the car accident. It seems that Susan had just told Charles about what happened, because it opens with him asking about the crash in anger and disbelief. Susan informs him that the funeral occurred "some weeks ago", which is most likely a lie from Felix. Susan also discloses that Jack doesn't really show up at work anymore. After Charles hesitantly questions whether Susan thinks Felix's story was a lie, she agrees, saying she thinks "something else happened." We don't know what story Felix told them, so its unclear as to what they believe is a lie. Susan also brings up Rocket, who Felix hid at the restaurant without telling Jack and Rose. The final audio recording we hear is just Susan. It's called "THE FIRST", and was recorded on June 30th, 1974. After an unknown person (potentially the spirit "Bon") is detected on Bon's facial tracker, the console is disconnected and begins beeping loudly. The audio file playing over this scene is maybe Susan's audio from Bunnyfarm, but it's very muffled and hard to hear. After this, we see our first full-body shot of a living Susan. She is backstage, looking around with a flashlight, when she notices a box falling. Once she pans her camera over to it, we see Bon, who attacks her immediately, ripping into and mangling her facial features and then snapping her neck, which she survives. Afterwards, she is dragged away by Bon.

The next we see of her is in Wonderland. She appears fully greyscale aside for tinges of red, with a withered/decayed lower half. She meets "Bon", who informs her that she isn't dead yet, saying the "spirit doesn't pass on as fast as the body does." When Susan asks how he knows her, Bon states that he had his eye on her, and that he knows her very well, calling her a friend. Whether this implies that Bon is someone that Susan actually knew before death or if he knows her just from watching her is unclear as of yet. Bon gives Susan a Banny mask as a "gift" in Wonderland. He tells her it's her new body, and that "a spirit can't survive without being tethered to a vessel." Susan chooses to inhabit Banny, and we see her eye opening inside of the Banny mask, underneath the robot's pre-existing eyes.

Lachrimosa

We see a shot of Susan stuffed inside of the Banny suit (right next to a picture of her on the wall overtop of a painting of Banny). She is still moving around in the suit until Bon forcefully shoves the Banny head overtop of hers. Overlaid over this scene is an audio recording of Charles saying that Susan has gone missing, and begging for any information that might help find her.

The next thing we see of her is a facial-recognition test recognizing her face in the Banny animatronic. As Banny, she gets up and moves, following a very similar pattern to how Banny moves in the "rabbit is starving" segment of TWF 2, which the title "Lachrimosa" is also a callback to. Susan then finds a glitchy television screen and stands in front of it for a few moments. The screen appears to potentially be CCTV footage, as Shadow Man is seen entering the building on it. Afterwards, Susan follows what may potentially be "Bon" into a darkened area that opens up into Wonderland. Her view pans over to a shot of Bon which ends the video.
