Inktobertale 2022 : Compilation of novels

20th of October : Spraycans

I still don't see why you want to get these objects. said Inner-Ink as Ink was going through his stuff.

"You said we needed all the ressources we could get, right ?" asked the guardian, "well that's exactly what I'm doing."

I don't even understand why you kept these.

"Well, there's a lot of things I don't approve about Fresh, especially after when he takes over my body, but I've got to admit he had had a great idea using these." answered Ink as he pulled out two grey spraycans from one of his many cardboard boxes. These were leftovers of the costume Fresh had used after taking over Ink's body, which ironically, was an outfit Ink had made himself. "I don't know where the 8 other cans went though..."

Now I know we share the same memories, but do enlighten me. What's so special about these replacements for vials ?

"Simple" said Ink as he refilled both with black paint. "They may have a simple use for mere mortals, but when you can manipulate ink and paint like me..." 

He pressed the triggers of the cans and suddenly a cloud of black droplets came out of the nozzles, like a dark mist covering the day of the Doodle Sphere, and giving birth to a starry night. Under Ink's influence, the cloud remained I the air, then moved around like one elegant entity, somewhat reminiscent of a swarm of bugs. Ink then opened his hand and the group of droplets assembled into one unique mass, which elongated and solidified into a long and thin spear of solid ink which landed between his fingers. "...The opportunities are endless."

I see. Are you going to take anything else from that box too ?

"Uhh..." hesitated Ink as he took a closer look at the box, filled to the brim with various 90's-themed, useless relics. A furby, multiple hairy trolls, an entire boom box with its collection of tapes, roller skates...

That was a rhetorical question. We're not taking anything else from this.

"Oh..." said Ink, sounding slightly disappointed. He attached the two cans around his waist, and got ready to leave after teleporting the cardboard box out of the Doodle Sphere, to his "secret hiding place" (under the sink in the house of Sans and Papyrus in a certain timeline of Underfell).
