"Alright Slender, what is it you want me to see?"
I stepped further into the place as I took in my surroundings. The lights were still on somehow and there was a running projector even though this place had been abandoned years ago. A bit of walking led me to a sign that had an arrow with the words "Ink Machine" on it. Who would need a machine for some ink? Was that what Slenderman wanted to show me? If that's the case then I might as well go see it.
Down the quiet hall I went, taking turns and jumping over a pipe, I make it to where the machine is. It wasn't there but a lever and what looked like an electrical box was next to it. The electrical box was missing some things, but luckily the dry cells were behind me. After placing those things in I put my hand on the lever and pulled it down to reveal the machine.
I waited for this machine to rise so I could see what it looked like, but then it finally appeared and it was large with pipes coming out of it. Who needed that much ink though?
I wondered if I could turn it on to see what it did, considering that this place somehow had electricity after being abandoned for so long. I began to look around for something to turn it on then I finally found the room where the machine could be turned on. I tried pulling the lever but the machine didn't turn on, and after a while of looking around I figured I needed to collect some items. While I was looking for the items that I needed a cutout of Bendy came out of no where, that was odd. And while looking for the wrench I saw Boris, but he was strapped to a table with his chest open with the wrench inside, "Oh my god, Slenderman what where you doing!?" I questioned.
After finding all the items I had needed I put them on the pedestals. The items that I had to collect didn't really make sense, I understand a wrench and gear but why was a stuffed animal, book, record player, and jar needed to turn on a machine? There was one more thing I needed to do and it was to restore the pressure to the machine. On my way to where I'd give pressure to the machine I noticed a tape with a recording in it. I got curious and pressed play to be met with a message from our janitor Toby.

Voice of  Toby Rogers
"At this point, I don't get what the bosses plans are for this company, I heard the animations aren't being finished on time anymore. And I don't know why we even need this machine, it's noisy, it's messy, and who needs that much ink? And get this: Slenderman wants us to "donate" something from our work stations. We put them on these pedestals in the breakroom to supposedly "appease the gods" slenderman said "to keep things going". I'm sure he's lost it but hey, he writes the checks. But I swear if one more of these damn pipes burst, I'm outta here."

As I made my way down to the viewing room that cutout popped out at me again and I heard a little "boo", who the hell was doing that?!
I turned the valve then heard something explode. I looked to see that a pipe had bursted and was forming a puddle so I left the room quickly.
I walked up to the lever then switched it, the machine began to run.
The room grew dim as I heard the pipes pump ink from above. Now it was to see what the machine was running. I head down to the machine, but as I got closer to the machines room I found that the entrance was boarded up unlike before. Stepping closer to the boarded up corridor I look passed the boards to see the machine.
Suddenly some creature jumped out at me and tried to grab me but the boards where there so that gave me some time to get the fuck out of there. The pipes bursted and the studio began to flood with ink and was slowing me down.
The exit was close to me, I was nearly out of there, but the floor collapsed under me and I fell deep below the surface.

The ink cushioned the fall a bit but it still hurt like hell. I turned to see a message saying "The creator lied to us".
I turned some valves to drain the ink and searched for an exit, but then I came to a door that had been boarded up. I took the axe on the table to clear my path and came to a door.
I entered the room behind the door and saw what looked like a pentagram on the floor surrounded by candles. I whispered "What was happening while I was gone?" as I walked towards the center of the circle. The room started shaking as I got visions of the machine and the demon as I passed out.
