A world with many mysteries, a hall with many doors, a plant with many roots. No matter how big or small something is, there will always be more to it than what you initially see. This is the truth of some unfortunate soul who wandered across something he shouldn't have, and now has an entire army of strange, inky creatures coming to tie up their loose ends.
Despite this, he has decided to dive further into the rabbit hole he stumbled into. Will he figure out what these things truly are, or will he get backed into a corner with nowhere to run?
NOTE: InkLocke is a Pokémon Friendlocke series made by YouTuber/Twitch Streamer "InkyPoo64". I have no ownership of anything within InkLocke outside of the characters I play.
This story takes place from the perspective of The Ink Theorist, who originally started as me (The Writer) trying to pull a MatPat on the lore of the series, before them becoming seemingly canon. (I say seemingly as it still feels crazy to think.)
Whether this story is canon to InkLocke itself or not?
I dunno. That's for Inky to decide.
ADDITIONAL INFO AS OF SEPTEMBER 2024: Inklocke has ended. It died and thus will never get a true conclusion, but I decided to write this to try and at least think of one good ending in my mind.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
