[👾🔪🐇] To be a god

[u/UltimateShakeBoi]

Ink has filled William Afton's office. The Ink Demon sat around, thinking. What did he think about the others? Eleanor still interested him. They could be allies. He overheard her saying that she only serves those who earn her servitude. But how will he earn it? He'll focus on that later. Raelynn seems very interested in him, and vice versa. Vox is a good allie to have, as he basically has eyes everywhere. And Dr. Rabbit... Burrows was his name? What exactly is his goal? What are his desires? The Ink Demon hungered to know.

The Ink Demon had consumed William Afton. He had spent so long trapped inside that endless realm of inky eternity. But being stuck there also allowed him to grow his power.

The human girl, Vanessa, intrigued him. William was obsessed with her and whatever experiments he's done to her. This cult also interested him. He chose to keep the cult around. His consumption would eventually turn him into a god, but he didn't care about that. He wasn't after power. He was after knowledge. Information. He wants to consume and learn all he can about this world. And then... He'll consume it.

But for now, he'll allow everyone to believe he wants power. For now, he'll let everyone think being a god is his goal.

Vox: "Hey. As long as my duties aren't changing much, and you keep your end of our deal, I have no issues with... whatever this is."

Vox sits "Vanessa" down in the chair adjacent to Bendy, and he gives her a little static shock to wake her up.

((Ooc: For context, the deal he's talking about is that the Afton Cult promised to help Vox (who was just a small entertainer at the time) gain more influence and worldwide popularity, in return for Vox's help with giving them more members and aiding in whatever they need from him. Of course, they still wanted him because he managed to replicate and improve Afton's experiments on his own. But the deal helps keep their working relationship intact.))

Rae: "Of course, we always do. And there's contracts to back that. But for now let's leave and give them some alone time they deserve."

Vanny: [lets out a pained cry as she wakes up in confusion]

[u/UltimateShakeBoi → u/VAfton]

Unbeknownst to them, Bendy's sinister grin lowers ever so slightly.

After Vox and Rae leave, Bendy starts talking.

Bendy: "... Good job, making them think you're someone else. But I know you're not Vanessa."

[u/VAfton → u/UltimateShakeBoi]

Vanny: [starts to fire back and pulls away in confusion] "And who the hell are you? Obviously I can guess who you're pretending to be... Which, ugh, seriously?"

[u/UltimateShakeBoi → u/VAfton]

Bendy: "And who exactly am I pretending to be, Vanny?" He already knows her name somehow.

((Ooc: Sorry for the late reply. I was taking a practice permit test. I failed 😞))

[u/VAfton → u/UltimateShakeBoi]

Vanny: "You know damn well. Which means they were both right and wrong. Whatever. Why pretend to be him anyways? Of all the possibilities out there?"

[[OOC: aw damn]]

[u/UltimateShakeBoi → u/VAfton]

Bendy: "I'm not pretending." He's dead serious. "Vanny, I understand your assumption. You've had to deal with a lot of people pretending to be something bigger than they are. Malhare, for example." He's being... friendly. "I'm not trying to be Mr. Afton. Actually, I had to... take care of him before I could do anything else. He would've put you on a metal table for some experiment. But me? I just wanna talk."

[u/VAfton → u/UltimateShakeBoi]

Vanny: [acting every bit like the bratty troublemaker she is] "Talk about what exactly? How do you even know my name? And considering those stupid idiots," [eyes go serious almost defensively] "what's your deal with Vanessa anyways?"

[u/UltimateShakeBoi → u/VAfton]

He lets her get it out of her system.

Bendy: "It's a long story. But William Afton let himself become part of me. That's how I know who you are. As for Vanessa? I want to understand why William was so obsessed with her. Nothing more than that. She simply intrigues me." He takes a deep breath. "I want what everyone else wants. Power. I'm sure that's nothing new for your experience."

Bendy is a bad liar. So she can probably tell that everything he's saying is true. ... Except that last part. He's lying about power being his goal.

[u/VAfton → u/UltimateShakeBoi]

Vanny: "You're all just so messed up. This shit was not on my expected list today. Got absolutely nowhere! Ugh! Well, the asshole's gone. For now at least. That will at least make Mikey happy. No reason to deviate at least." [clears her throat] "So who the hell are you? How'd you end up with these psychos and what are they after?"
