Franklin Norway

**Franklin Norway** seems to be a possible rival to M&A HarmonyToys who also seems to invest his time and efforts into creating arcade-style games and play-areas in hopes of showing children - as well as parents - the truth behind Martin Greywhinder's crimes.

## Personality

Franklin is a rather cheerfully ambitious person within the Harmony & Horror series, greeting the officer who arrives in his establishment with benevolence. However, he's also quite determined to prove the events regarding the Greywhinder family did occur as the rumors suggest. This is clear by his development of a "mature" rated game titled "Memory Lane" alongside other related games (e.g Clown Slasher, Haunted Dolls, Killer Dragon, etc).

Still, he takes great pride to ensure those around him, strangers or not, are cared for and protected from Martin's dark history. And, his games are the evidence to support this statement greatly. Multiple titles seem to be a reference to what occurred within and around the M&A HarmonyToys production, including:

* Martin becoming The Jester or The Clown (Clown Slasher).
* The Greywhinder children becoming possessed dolls (Haunted Dolls).
* The reference to the Green Dragon from the video Th4t's\_All\_f0lk5 (Killer Dragon).

Despite his seemingly kind nature, Franklin does have a questionable method of showcasing said care via his development of mature games. Since many children tend to partake in his play-area - and Franklin's distaste for the M&A HarmonyToys brand - the officer rightly questions him for attempting to "brainwash" or even deter the children away from the establishment and stay within his instead. Although, Franklin himself claims he never meant to inflict trauma or a bad reputation (rather he wanted them to be afraid to save them from suffering a similar fate like the Greywhinder family did along with several other unfortunate victims).

## Origin

Within the tape THE\_PERFECT\_PET, Franklin is introduced off-screen along with another character simply referred to by him as "Officer". When the officer enters the establishment, he greets him with upmost respect as well as excitement. This excitement is quickly replaced by concern when Franklin mentions about the authorities setting up curfews along with civilians locking their doors at night (most likely due to the Greywhinder case and Martin's disappearance). When asking the officer if the visit to his store has anything to do with what he mentioned, he responds "*Maybe*".

According to him, his wife had discussed about Franklin installing a new play-area, leading Franklin himself to gleefully give a tour of his establishment when asked. That is when he is interrupted by the officer questioning a certain area in question, to which Franklin states "*Those are some of the more 'mature' games sir...*". As the officer inspects the games themselves, he notices how most of the titles seem to circulate around the Greywhinder case, especially clowns (a possible reference to The Jester) from the local news. Franklin - when questioned - attempts to hide the true reason at first, suggesting they were made by himself just for a good scare towards the younger audience.

However, after being prompted by the more serious toned officer, he eventually admits that the true reason for the games' existence had been to deter children away from M&A HarmonyToys due to their parents' disbelief in the 'rumors' regarding the franchise's history. Still, it seems his intention for good came with a mixed response as the officer questions how Franklin used said games to frighten young children away from the M&A HarmonyToys franchise in exchange for their trust/loyalty to him and his word instead. According to him, the game were never intended to come off as "harmful sources" but rather informative ones to understand what happened with Martin Greywhinder and his career/family.

As a response, the officer wishes for Franklin to prove his knowledge about these rumors actually being the truth.
