Selena in Bendy and the Ink Machine

The Truth Comes Out

I left the room and started sneaking around this labyrinth of an administration office. The next room I went into had a recording from Wally. The last one I would hear;

'So turns out it's my lucky day! I got to cleaning some of the offices around 2 AM last night. And what do ya think I find on one of the chairs? A big freaking chocolate cake. Just sitting there! Practically yelling my name! You know, I work hard! I earn my pay. Every darn dollar. But you know what this company's missing? Little, benefiting perks. And this here cake? It's a perk! Hopefully, no one finds out what I have done. Cause if they did, I can tell ya what would happen. I'm outta here.'

I'll be honest, can't blame him. But I'm craving cake now. I've not had cake for years. I left the room and kept looking around. In the next corridor, I was in, I found another message from Joey;

'Listen, Tommy, I know you boys over at Gent are doing your best, but I'm paying for living attractions, not weird abominations! Whatever that grinning thing was I saw wandering around your office, you better keep it locked uptight! I realize it was the first attempt but imagine if the press caught sight of it! Might scare off investors! And in response to your previous memo: If you claim your failures are because these things are soulless, then, damn it, we'll get them a soul! After all, I own thousands of 'em!'

How do you own thousand of souls? And what did he mean by that? His workers? Is that why they're like this now? Well, I have the Butcher Gang to deal with so I can't think about it right now. I have to go. I walked around and looked in more rooms for ink or recordings because I have a feeling this place is a goldmine for them. There were times that I had to hide from the Butcher Gang because they walked past the rooms I was in. I soon found two things after ages of searching. The ink that I wanted and Joey's office. I went into his office first because I saw a recording from him;

'I know how much this part means to ya, Susie. Alice means a lot to me too. Gosh, all of my characters do! In fact, I'll let you in on a little secret. I too really believe my characters are more than just drawings. They're alive. They're part of us. And I want people to know them as well as I do. I want people to be able to shake their hands, spend an afternoon with 'em. Love them. Susie, I'll be straight with you. I'm putting together a small project... a little ceremony if you will. If it works, a lot of dreams will come true. And I want you to be a part of it. ...I want you to bring Alice to life once again. What do ya say?'

Yeah, that went well, didn't it? I witnessed it first-hand. I left the room, grabbed the ink blob, and made my way back to the main area, trying not to get caught. When I made it back safely, I put the ink in the dispenser and used it to make one of the pipes I needed. Once I had it, I took it but Bendy suddenly arrived. I hid in a hiding booth and waited for him to leave though I never saw him. When he left, I left the booth and put it in its place.

Time to look for more Ink. Well, work my way around the labyrinth to find it again. Well, I made my two necessary trips back and forth until I had all the pipe pieces I needed. I put the pipes in the right places and the corridor to the vault drained. I walked through to see that the vault door had been torn off. I walked in to see boxes of old episodes. I looked in one of the boxes when I heard a voice behind me;

"Looks like whatever was here was taken long ago..." Allison said making me turn to her and Tom

"How did you get down here?" I asked

"It pays to carry a rope... you should try it."

"Look, I know where we have to go... but it's not going to be pleasant. The Ink Demon has something that we need... I'm going after him."

"You want to go to his lair? Are you crazy? That's death!"

"That's where the trail seems to lead."

"Well, it's probably close by... probably through that door. But it won't be easy to open. I'll need three gears, a crowbar... hmm, some kind of counterbalance."

Tom just walked over and punched the door open.

"Huh. Well, that works too... I guess," Allison said

We walked through the door to see an area oddly familiar to the one above. Even my old desk was there. This seems weird. We walked down a corridor just as Bendy showed up and walked past us. Well, we were separated by a window but it didn't make him any less scary. Allison told us to be quiet. We watched him slowly walk past before moving on. We made it to a large area. And, in front of us, looked like a larger version of the Ink Machine which was powered by the smaller one. Oh my goodness. This is quite the lair. 

"Wow! I've never seen this before!" Allison said amazed, "I don't see any way around, nothing to build a raft with."

"We'll have to wade across," I said

"We can't. We're not like you, Selena. If we go in there, well, a drop of water in the ocean is rarely seen again."

"Then I guess it's all up to me and I don't even know what I'm doing here. I don't even know why this is all happening to me."

"You're here for a reason, Selena. There's always a reason! Even when you can't understand it. It's time... set us free!"

I just gave a nod. Time to face the Ink Demon.
