Despite being reluctant to listen at first, he quickly got interested in the story, being disappointed when ooftroop decided to cut his tale short after the events of *Follow Me*. He quickly became concerned about the possibility of Ferdinand Von Bernard showing up and doing something crazy, which ooftroop dismissed and teleported away.

While viewer was right to expect Fredinand's visit, as right after Oof's disappearance the pan-dimensional robot showed up right behind him. He neededn't have worried however, as the golden grizzly just wanted his chair, banishing the white man to corner of shame, where he waited for the next 147 days.

#### Tale in banishment

On **December 24**, ooftroop would finally returned, resuming their story now for both Viewer and Ferdinand.

## Personality and traits

 **Viewer**:

Although he certainly isn't afraid to refuse things, as he has no problem declining Oof from telling his story, he doesn't seem to be confrontational enough to question a stranger suddenyl teleporting into his house. Once he starts telling it however, Viewer never cuts in or attempts to stop him, despite not wanting to hear it, implying he is polite and good mannered. His interactions with Ferdinand paint him as a docile person, with him making no shown attempt at trying to escape his captor.

He seems to be rather nerdy, with a room filled with posters and merchandise of different fictional media. He is clearly a fan of *Five Nights at Freddy's*, though he doesn't want to get straight answers about its story when offered them by Oof, suggesting appreciation for its brilliant mystery-lore storytelling, wanting to uncover the story's mysteries without shortcuts. He has more merchandise of Springtrap than any other character, implying William Afton may be his favorite character from the story, showing he has great taste.

A character who serves as an intermediary, facilitating the audience's immersion into the narrative while also maintaining a distinct existence outside the confines of the story's fictional reality as an unfictiononal character (one presented as if a real person in our world). A character that works as a conduit for the audience's engagement, allowing them to connect with the story by providing a relatable and comprehensible perspective, reacting to the unfolding events in a manner that reflects the expectations and frustrations of the audience, as well as a framing device as to justify a narration-type storytelling.

He mainly appears in at the beginning and end of each video in the series, where the ooftroop tells the story of Five Nights at Freddy's, as to contextualize the videos' structure of omniscient narration, explaining almost everything upfront, jumping between events and low amount of dialogue.
