Inktobertale 2021 : Compilation of novels

29th of October : Polaroid

"Hey, look what I found !"

Ink and Blue had wandered into this new shop in the Omega Timeline, hoping to find something interesting. As Ink was looking through comics, Blue suddenly pulled a large object from one of the cardboard boxes.

"A camera ! Cool !"

"I do not really see the interest in that." said Ink.

"Well, maybe for a painter like you, it seems useless, but I used to want one !"

"Boooring ! C'mon, there's nothing in this shop, let's go." he answered, as he turned away.

"Wait !" screamed Blue, quickly grabbing the device and running towards the seller.

When he came out, he held the camera with him, much to Ink's discontent. "What are you even going to do with that ?! You'll just take a few pictures today, and then leave it on your shelf for the rest of your life."

"Don't be so dramatic ! You'll see, you'll eventually thank me for buying that !"

Two days later...

Ink was trying to do a minimalistic painting. This was not a style he was used to, and needed to be very concentrated, if he didn't want to mess it all u-

"SAY CHEESE !!!"

Ink quickly turned around,  and got blinded by the camera's flash. As he scrubbed his eye sockets to regain vision, he saw Blue catch the little paper that the Polaroid was printing, and show it to him.

"What do you think ?! "The artist meditating on his work" !"

The picture showed Ink doing a derpy and stupid-looking face of surprise. Horrible. 

"Again ?! This is the seventh time you do that and- MY PAINTING ! I ruined it !" screamed Ink as he showed the large slash of pink paint covering his canvas.

"Eh, I'm sure you can fix that !" said Blue with a friendly smile.

Unfortunately, Ink was done being friendly.

"That's... it ! YOU NEVER LET GO OF THIS FUCKING CAMERA ! And you're causing everyone trouble ! I'm getting rid of it, here and now."

"No ! I won't let you !"

"Oh ? Really ?" Said Ink with a threateningly empty stare "But Blue...

I DON'T NEED YOUR APPROVAL."

"WOW !1!!1! THATZ SO CEWL MAH BUD ! I KNEW WE WERE FRIENDS BUT STILL..." said Fresh with the words 'Thx Bru' written on his glasses. "UR REALLY MAKIN MY HEART SWELL !!!"

"Yeah yeah, whatever just take it." said Ink.

All his clothes were destroyed, but it was worth it. As he handed the Polaroid to Fresh, he took a look at the chained chest behind them.

"INK !" said a voice coming out of it. "When I'm getting out of here, you're buying me a new one !"

"Yeah, you can always dream !" replied Ink.

"LMAO YEA SUCKERZ !" subtly added Fresh.
