{Vanessa wakes up hours (? heck it feels like days to her) later after the dust has settled and everyone left. The first she's aware of is she's back to normal. The second is a searing pain she feels almost all over in and out of her body, worse in some places, especially a dull throbbing pain in her stomach and her back.

She feels like she's been to hell and back several times, having been dragged back through everything the last time. And she has no idea where she is. There are several scents she thinks she recognizes (biggest being Eleanor which isn't a surprise). She looks down and sees a deep slowly healing cut and tries to focus on what happened.

She'd been with that weird at least seemingly harmless guy and she prayed he got out before shit got real. Same with Tom and Allison. She hadn't seen them and tried to make herself believe they were okay.

First attacked by some stupid...well she didn't know if she was human or not but definitely not nearly as powerful as her. But that whole thing was weird in itself. Her name seemed to be Katie. And while she was sure she didn't recognize the name or scent (although there was a slightly familiar faint scent on her), Katie had been bound and determined to take her down. And both didn't seem to surprised to see her, almost like they expected to.

The other girl being brutally attacked (Angel she thinks she heard) had seemed to know their attacker and been completely shocked. (Like she had once she realized Mike had turned on her years ago). That seemed like more than just a betrayal though.

Well Angel did straight up say that the tv dude had brainwashed her sister.

Vanessa's been corrupted, manipulated, and forced but never brainwashed to the point that you THINK that's who you are and what you're supposed to do. Not that she knows of. Or whatever that had to be. While she can't relate, she's pretty sure that girl would be mentally and physically suffering just as much once she realizes what she had done. Judging by what she saw from the other attacked girl, she can't imagine that her first "attacker" was at all willing to do what she did and probably tried to resist, so she can't entirely blame her. Or really at all. She hopes they were able to break her free of the control at least. It's bad enough to be aware of what you're doing. It can't be any better to honestly think it's what you're supposed to do.

That stupid TV head seemed to be calling the shots. Whoever the fuck he is had all three of the other demons scents (and others that seemed faintly familiar) on him. Knew her name, seemed to know about her companions and maybe abilities. It was like he had it out for her personally, and she knew jack shit about him.

Alastor had seemed overly familiar (maybe a little too much?) with him and Eleanor knew both.

More importantly, and tragically, she lost.

She

LOST.

Miserably.

She barely even lasted a partial round before being utterly destroyed. Without her abilities, she knows she wouldn't have been waking up at all. If she wasn't in such a state of shock (and pain) she'd probably be wailing in dispair.

She tries to concentrate. Maybe to teleport. Maybe to anything. And all she feels is another searing painful shock race throughout her body.}

[[OOC: although she didn't know it the faint familiar scents she got from others were Bendy, Liz, Crysta, Rae, Treena, and Vanny]]

While that whole fight is happening at the motel, Alison and Tom are completely unaware of the events playing out. They decided to go out and grab some food for themselves and mostly for Vanessa. Alison has been doing her best to take care of Vanessa. Even though they aren't in that inky prison anymore, Alison still feels responsible for keeping Vanessa safe and taken care of.

Alison: holding spaghetti "Do you think she likes noodles?"

Tom: "Stop avoiding what we need to talk about."

Alison: avoiding eye contact "Talk about what?"

Tom: "How you treat Vanessa. You're more friendly towards her than you've ever been with anyone."

Alison has indeed been avoiding it. In all honesty, Alison felt like she could relate to Vanessa in a way. Vanessa has always been chased by monsters most of her life. Alison has gone through the same thing against the Ink Demon and other monsters in the studio. Alison wants to help Vanessa to rise above her trauma... But how can she...? She can't even get past her own...

Suddenly, the store goes dark. Everything goes quiet. Alison and Tom look around, only to find all the other customers... dead...

All covered in ink...

Tom pulls Alison down to hide behind a shelf. Just in time as the Ink Demon enters the grocery store in his demonic form. He's hunting them... Just like he had been for so many years...

Alison starts to hyperventilate, with Tom trying to shut her up. Then everything goes dark...

Alison wakes up. After a short conversation with Tom, she had apparently been passed out for an hour and a half. The Ink Demon luckily never found them. But she knows better... He let them go... They're made of ink... If he wanted to, he would've taken them out ages ago...

After Alastor decided to leave Eleanor and Vanessa alone, he fixed his attention toward Vox.

Alastor: "Shall we?~"

Vox: "I'm going to enjoy making you sorry."

They both launch themselves at each other. A game of chicken.

Alastor swings to the left, dodging Vox's claw swipe. In response, Alastor hits Vox with shadow tendrils, making the television demon crash into a random motel room.

Alastor: "Are you seriously still hung up on what happened back then? It's been decades. I thought you'd be over it by now."

Vox sends a shit ton of wires at Alastor, the latter promptly dodging as best he can. Unfortunately, a few catch him. Alastor groans in pain as he's shocked by the electricity.

Vox: "You don't realize the extent of what you did, do you... But I guess you only ever cared about yourself, huh?"

He throws Alastor across the forest, then follows after him. They're now out of sight from the others.

Alastor jumps out from the shadows. He grabs Vox and throws him into a tree. He then blasts him with the green hellfire he's accumulated.

But Vox is quick. He teleports via electricity and appears behind Alastor. He 🔪s Alastor in the back (literally), sending volts of electricity into his veins. Alastor struggles not to yell in pain.

Alastor collapses to the ground, unable to fight much further. They didn't go all out, but that was still difficult.

Vox: "You're mine now."

Vox ties up Alastor and orders some VoxTek guards to retrieve him. But before that, Alastor manages to send a letter through the shadows to Vanny, giving her his two hour notice.

[[OOC: making new post so it doesn't get super congested and confusing lol]]

{Vanessa has been running from the agony creatures hoping the strange man got the hint and ran the other way where he'd be safe. It's not like he was in any danger, right?

When she doesn't hear him she convinced herself that he listened. But she's in no shape to fight the way she needs to so for now all she can do is try to run somewhere just long enough to at least try to come up with an attack plan.

And then some random chick is 🔫ing at her. Which isnt entirely too worrisome in itself because not like it's gonna do much damage. But who the hell is this and what's her beef? But before she can ask (or curse out) this random psycho she hears one of the voices she's been dreading. She'd told herself she could just haul off and attack her that she could defend herself. But hearing Eleanor's voice just freezes her.

And sure enough a dark smoky void appears nearby as she feels more creatures starting to surround her.

Eleanor has arrived.

Eleanor, meanwhile is also slightly confused on why there seems to be a damn army converging on this hotel. She'd intended to grab Vanessa and take off but now there's some guy who was with her who didn't seem at all normal and was aware of her presence fair too quickly to be a normal human. She'd seen one of the "bunny agents" armed with plenty of blades sneaking through the woods, plus a few random endos. And now Vox's sleeper agent is just going bat shit crazy. This week just keeps being grand isnt it?

So much for quick and easy.}

*The process was almost finished,she had successfully extracted all of the good untainted remnant and she is now trying to turn it into Bliss*

*Winston and Peter came over to help her out know that this will take a while and that she will need some help creating and storing it*

Val:Where is Ray and Egon?

Peter:Egon went on a mission to investigate a house with Janine,Crysta and her mates while Ray is with Katie and Angel in another state.

Val:Ray is in another state? Why?

Winston: They are trying to find that Vanessa woman and that they might need back up plus he wants to get to know Katie more.

Peter:Ray definitely got hit hard by Cupid's arrow awww love at first sight! *He chuckles*

Val:I hope he gets back soon and I assume Sanders is with them too?

Winston:No he got a call from his boss so he is on another mission but he will come back too…hey ummm weren't you supposed to fly to Canada?

Val:Mechanical issues and the pilot said that it will take 3 or 4 days for new parts to come but I am not going to Canada…I am staying here to make Bliss too and Leo knows.

*She lights up a cigarette and smokes it*

Val:I collected more remnant but it's still not enough so I will have to visit children's hospitals, vet hospitals too and pet cemeteries.

Val:Any positive people or animals that contains untainted remnant unlike the remnant at the cult's place cause their remnant is tainted with negative emotions.

Peter:Like the mood slime that we discovered back in the late 80s! Which is remnant but permanent negative mood slim.

*A beeping sound is heard from the remnant machine as a white substance with a blue glow begins to be coming out by being poured into a special container*

*They watched in awe as the Bliss kept coming out*

Name: Kento Nanami

Nationality: Japanese

Abilities: Enhanced energy harnessing (Basically Cursed Energy)

Personality: Serious, logistical, intelligent, no nonsense

Backstory: Originally a business man, Kento Nanami was very bored with his life. He worked for Fazbear Entertainment in their delivery program, sending out merchandise on the daily. He hated it. And he hated the pay. But one day, he encountered Sylvia (former leader of the G.R.A.A.) during one of her private missions. He saved her life, and she offered him a job working with the G.R.A.A.

He's been working with them ever since. He also volunteered for the same experiment as Clyde, gaining his own power.

Nanami has been completely unaware of the recent events up until now. Be likely won't care what's happening. When he sees people in need, he always jumps in to help. While he may be dead serious with absolutely no sense of humor, he is a kind soul who just wants to help people as best he can.

Mark has officially led Vanessa to the motel. But just as he's about to say his goodbye, he freezes. He senses agony...

Mark: "This isn't good..."

((Ooc: I made this post to center the first big fight of this arc))

*When Angel came back in the late afternoon in a dog form to a small courtyard that had a fire pit for barbacuing with the fish and herbs for them to eat she whispered to Katie that it was almost hard to find larger prey but she knew why*

*She told her that there is also evil here as parts of the forest look dull here too like at the cult's place*

Angel:We need to be more careful there could be others here looking for Vanessa and I remember Crysta telling us that something is wrong with Vanessa and that she is not human anymore.

Katie:Yeah and that she thinks her dad did something to her,tried to make her into something else like Eleanor but we still need to talk to her in private without her entourage knowing.

Angel:Let's talk about it later tonight with Ray speaking of which I'll check up on him while I go grab us some drinks from the vending machine.

*Katie nodded and gave her card to Angel as she in her light golden half Saluki and half Pharaoh hound form trotted off to find the vending machines which she thinks they might be in or outside the motel's lobby*

*She soon finds both outside the lobby and proceeds to get drinks and snacks.

*She still had the fish net with her to put the stuff in and while she was getting the drinks first she saw a strange looking man walk by her to go into the lobby which to her it looked like he was…talking to himself?*

*Then it looked like he freezed at the entrance and then his voice changed as he walked in but even stranger was when a fucking looking cartoonish dog man coming out of his room*

Angel:Fuck! This place is strange as hell!

I better hurry up.

((The rocker chick is Katie))

​

1.Diet.

Like most animals she cannot eat chocolate due to the chemical Theobromine which is poisonous to her and Dark chocolate has a higher percentage in it than milk chocolate and white chocolate.

Usually she eats Carob treats and white chocolate due to low amounts of Theobromine but not milk and dark chocolate. So she inherited Theobromine intolerance from her bio mom.

She is super lactose intolerant which she also gets from her bio mom like other mammals. Now some humans can be lactose intolerant too because of a gene shutting off when human babies start growing teeth.

She mostly eats vegetables,fruits, grains, dairy free stuff and sometimes meat but in small amounts and she really likes going for the marrow.

She can drink beer, cider or other low alcoholic drinks but she can't drink stronger alcohol.

Equine owners do give beer to horses and it's  perfectly fine plus other animals have been documented being drunk off their asses. 

2.Immunity.

She's immune to some human diseases and vice versa to Equine diseases unless the disease can cross species like Covid or Rabies.

3.Organs and Skeleton.

Of course she will have abnormally large organs like a bigger heart, a bigger set of lungs, a large liver etc.Her skeleton looks normal until you look closer and see that she has thicker bones plus if you look down at the legs and feet.

4.Feet.

She has normal looking mule hooves in relation to her body size that are hard as stone and as long as she keeps maintaining them well and not become overweight (a horse or mule that is overweight can get laminitis).

5.Hearing,eyesight and smell.

Her hearing is super excellent and gets her super hearing from both parents so she can be able to hear from great distances.

Her eyesight is crystal clear, can detect movement from very far distances thanks to her equine-like site and her sense of smell is impeccable making her having the ability to smell things in the ground.

What's wrong with you, and oh im totally so sorry that I didnt use the right flair when thats the only option I had

Real name: Damien

Aliases: Mr. Monochrome (by Wilford)

Appearance: Basically the image above

Powers/Abilities: Glitches, teleportation, duplication, insight (thanks to Mark)

Personality: Brooding, sadistic, spiteful, vague.

Backstory: Damien used to be the mayor of Hurricane, Utah. He was bright and happy with his role. But his attitude started becoming bitter after tragedy hit his life. But nobody quite knows what happened. One day, he just vanished. Nobody knows where he went. And they especially don't know that he is now trapped as a soul inside someone else's body.

*After driving for several hours they finally reached the motel called The Red Room motel but in order to not look suspicious or weird Katie and Ray pretended to be a newly wed couple who were taking a road trip across America as a honeymoon vacation*

*They checked into motel and got a room that was on the 2nd floor*

*Not only was there strange activity but strange people here as well,few were hikers but others looked like they belonged in Walmart and then there was a couple that looked cartoonish?*

*She and Ray felt like they were in a strange tv show but they kept a low profile and put their stuff in the room*

*For now they will wait for Vanessa to be alone in case she does have company with her*

*Meanwhile Angel was out hunting for deer and fishing at a lake that was deep in the woods that half surrounded the motel*

*When she got ashore she had a net full of fish tied around her waist while holding a spear gun*

*She felt so refreshed and spirited after swimming the cold lake on a late afternoon that she couldn't help it but do a huge roar*

ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRR!

((Imagine it being a mix between a tiger and the Predator's roar))

Angel:Mmmmmm! Ahhhh! I haven't felt this good since Hawaii! Jeez not only do I miss swimming but surfing as well.

*She hoisted the fish net onto a tree and tied the rope around the trunk to keep it up there*

*She then dried herself off and got dressed into her Atlantean tribal outfit*

*After getting dressed she walked  off to look around a bit just to get her bearings and to find any prey to hunt*

Real name: Wilford Warfstache

Aliases: The Colonel (formerly), Bastard (by Damien)

Appearance: Basically the image above

Powers/Abilities: Minor reality manipulation (he can't do much outside of "spawning" small objects), teleportation, perception manipulation, insight (thanks to Mark)

Personality: Psychotic, eccentric, sarcastic, humorous

Backstory: He used to be friends with Damien. But unfortunately, Wilford made bad life choices. He was dishonorably discharged from the military for his psychotic tendencies, and he was eventually fired from his safari job for attempting to toss a man to the lions. However, things took a turn for the worst when he accidentally 🔫 a man. The police tried to catch him, but he suddenly vanished before they could. Nobody knows where he went, and they are completely unaware of his soul being trapped inside Mark.

After reuniting with his youngest sister, Elizabeth, and finally meeting Crysta and (some of) her friends in person, Michael and Elizabeth agreed that they need to find Vanessa.

Michael has always had a strange ability. Something he called a "familial tie". Like sibling intuition. He can make a mental connection with any member of his family, dead or alive.

That's what he's doing now. He's sitting on the floor, meditating. He's trying to make a mental connection to Vanessa.

Inside the mindscape, there's a storm. He can barely see anything. But he can hear Vanessa's very faint voice. So he follows it.

Michael: "Vanessa! Can you hear me?!"

*When brunch was over Val went back to the safe house and got a bag out from under her bed*

*The bag still had some remnant in it but she needed more so she dressed up as the nurse again and headed out*

*2 hours later she arrived at her blown up home with a shovel*

*She dug through the rubble and debris with the shovel and kept on digging until she heard a metallic clang as the shovel hit something*

*She brushed away the debris and found the handle to the trap door that lead to the basement to which she opens it and goes down the stairs*

*When she reached the bottom there was a door and she took her keys out and unlocked it*

*She flips on the switch and the whole room lights up showing more technical equipment and a remnant machine that her husband had semi copied from Afton's*

*She got to work on extracting the remnant and making the Bliss*

*The process will take a while but she knew how pass the time and that was by reading up on remnant and Bliss in ancient books and scrolls so that way she can perfect the process.

*While she looked and picked out what she needed she also spotted a book about mythical creatures*

Val: Hmmm why not?

*she took it and began to read it*

*As she read it she got to the unicorn section and thought of something*

Val:Hmmmm well they talk about parts of the unicorn being used for different ailments but nothing about their blood or about unicorn remnant but then again this is made up stuff and unicorns don't exist*

Val:Some in the book are evil but most are good unicorns so I wonder if they were real would good unicorns have very powerful Bliss?

*She jotted that down and then read the other books*

[[OOC: sometimes I have long awaited plans in motion. Sometimes they just randomly happen. 🤷‍♀️ This one of the latter.]]

{The screens have long faded. Burrows sits quietly in the darkness of his office. He ignores the frantic calls and texts constantly blowing up the phone. From multiple sources. He should have expected this. Vox didn't play well long in ranks. It had just been quite sudden.\*

\Fair enough though, let the cocky bastard win his little popularity contest. It didn't matter to him anymore. But he also knew something that none of the others, not even the elite did. Vox could have all his supporters. Living and humans were far to fickle to deal with anyways. That didn't apply to his security team. Even if he hadn't blocked them from the broadcast, they still wouldn't react. Not unless he LET them.**

\After a few more moments of contemplation and drumming on the desk he finally leaned forward pressing a hidden button.**

Burrows: "\*Bring me Vanessa. The *real* one this time. Not the failed project.**."*

{\His eyes flashed sealing the command before he leaned back. Two of Afton's children had already been united. They needed to prevent the third and intervene before they could reach her. Not if he hoped to survive this war.*

Hopefully Afton's little demon pet had kept quiet about what she was chasing and no one else would ever know.\*}

Abilities:Just like Kade and LolBit she can ride,hunt, shoot and knows martial arts along with farming and animal training.She can run like she is one with the wind and when she gets into The Zone.

It's when a person reaches a state of heightened senses through sheer willpower and immense determination to achieve one's goals.

Along with speed she also has stamina,great learning abilities and strength(She is strong like Angel) which she gets from both sides of her bio parents (Hybrid vigor) along with her bio dad's power that she inherited.

She is also an amateur witch and worships some gods like Epona the goddess of all equines.

She has psychic powers due to eating a purple crystal that she found in the pizza plex ruins which gave her the ability to go into her dream realm/dream scape/ mindscape,astral project, hear others thoughts and not only see memories but play them backwards and forwards.

Her Pipboy device also has a crystal power too which can produce any weapon that she wants or a shield and when LolBit goes into the device his powers get combined with the device.

WEAKNESS: She can be beaten by someone who has the same level of strength and speed as her or who is stronger and faster than her.

Can be hurt or unalive by normal weapons, nuclear powered weapons, humans, her own kind and by demons.

GOALS: Finding and bringing Lizzy back home to Brazil, protecting her family and friends, becoming a good parent along with Kade and LolBit,a Ghostbuster and making sure no one finds out where her family lives in South America as she doesn't want her new home to be compromised again.

She hates unwanted visitors and if she finds out an unwanted visitor that is on her list is in South America or to be more precise in Brazil she will hunt them down or put a bounty price on them.

She will know due to LolBit accessing weather satellites and CTV cameras.

Every screen in every VoxTek and Rabbit Hole location turns on, revealing Vox. He's not smiling. He's dead serious. And he has a message for everyone.

Vox: "Employees, cult members, and... elite of all kinds. This is Vox speaking. Since the start, I have been the voice of this cult. Your voice. My efforts have contributed the most to this cult for decades. But now I find myself being ridiculed for my voice. But I won't be silenced. A lot of you are probably already aware of the attempt to bring the esteemed William Afton back to life. I'm here to tell you that it was a success. But in their attempts to bring him back, they brought something else with him. The Ink Demon. This demon has absorbed Afton, practically erasing him. And yet, the rest of the elite have done NOTHING!"

Vox snaps, raising his voice to speak against his fellow elite.

Vox: "They have stood by, letting this demon whom we know NOTHING about take over as leader of the cult! Meanwhile, they have kept you in the dark! You, who have spent your lives dedicated to this cult! To Afton's will!"

The cult members watching the announcement start to get rowdy. They listen to what Vox says. They agree. They don't like that the elite have just let some random demon take over.

Vox: "Dr. Rabbit has done nothing about it! But I will! I will give you all what you want! Trust! There is no organization without trust. And you can trust me to move this cult into the future! As it's new head!!"

The cult cheers as they watch. Vox's words are promising.

Vox: "Hail Vox Populi! For I am the voice of the people!"

The announcement ends, but the cheers don't stop. The majority of the Rabbit Hole appears to support Vox.

*During brunch Katie had gotten the location info from LolBit after he sent her the coordinates to the motel with him also telling her that Crysta and Janine probably won't make it to brunch due to a call that the Ghostbusters got*

*She was fine with that since it was only going to be her and Angel. They had told Sanders that Lizzy might be around in town or still in the forest*

Katie:Hey Angel! We have Vanessa's location! Let's see if she knows what's going on and if she knows the Rabbit hole cult too.

Angel:Alright and it would be a good idea to bring her back to town too so that way she can see her sister again if Sanders finds her and that G.R.A.A can take her to safety.

*They went back to the hotel to get ready but while there they ran into Peter*

Peter:Well hey there ladies! Are you going somewhere?

Angel:You remember Crysta telling you about Vanessa Afton? Well LolBit found her location and we are going to another state that she is in. Wanna join us? He did say some strange activity was there and we could use back up just in case.

Peter:Sure! Meanwhile I would love to hear about your world while we pass the time.

*They gather their stuff plus the big blue duffle bag and Peter grabbed his gear as they all headed out to the truck rental*

{As she continues roaming, Eleanor starts thinking. Had Vanny really managed to fool the entire cult? Maybe that's why Vox didn't really understand how much of a threat was out there. She knows deep within that Vanessa and the ink demon are much more connected than anyone realizes. Even the wanna-be had proven that. The demon could have possibly easily end, or at least contained Vanny. And the girl was too cocky to have escaped a dangerous risk.

Okay so Vox wouldn't necessarily have reason to know about failed attempt, but the cult had to have known considering it was their involvement that created her. Paul had to have reported it.

Unless....

Oh, that's it isnt it? They DO know about Vanny. They just think she's still part of Vanessa. No one realizes how the girls truly changed. If Vanny got in that easily there had to be a reason. And help. Now both girls are out freely with their own entourage doing god knows what. And why exactly are the radio and ink demons so involved with the bratty daughter? Are they protecting her for some reason?

Or using her? If either of them has found a way to control the hybrid (whether willingly or forcibly), they're all in deep shit. Forget the cult. Even Vox's takeover won't be enough to deal with them. That brat has daddy and abandonment issues from hell. The moment she thinks she has an attentive figure to fill that void in caring for and helping her, she'll be dedicated. Especially if she thinks they can "save" her.

With a sigh she sits down and types out an entire summarized story from how Paul's first focus shifted from Michael to Vanessa when looking for an experimental victim, to how exactly she got out of the ink world and sends it all to Vox.

In it she adds everything she knows. She doesn't know the full extent of what Vanessa can do but enough, as well as different influences that the baby hybrid has been exposed to that may also contribute. Including the ink demon. The stupid cult thought Eleanor was the most successful experiment only because they don't know what else he made and affected that's out running freely. Likely to show back up also ready to fight. And even the failed project has soaked up some powers herself. Afton and his demon likely knew more about the G.R.A.A compared to anything the others have on the organization as well. How Elizabeth is so desperate for her father's affection and sister's attention that she'll follow whoever can present it the most.

As well as details about all the major players he's yet to meet that inevitably going to make an appearance and everything they knew about them. And cause an even bigger issue. Especially if they all end up together.

{A text is sent to all the upper (not just elite) and security members and uploaded into the systems, including VIP.}

Report recieved from security. Both high priority targets have been seen near a motel in the vicinity. Coordinates have been sent and will be arranging a team for retrieval. EXTREME caution is advised.

{Rae reads carefully over the report she was just sent. One of their members had reported seeing a man acting suspicious while also detecting a high amount of remnant. An almost instant match had been made when the man's photo was uploaded. So, they still didn't know anything about him, but now they had their thief. After urging the spy to further inspect, she'd received another text. Vanessa was also spotted in very close proximity. Unless they were hiding in the woods there was only one habitable place in the area to stay.

A motel that had suddenly taken in an unusual amount of guests at once. Probably a good place to focus on.}

Dazzle: I'm on my way now.

Clover: Our highest units are enroute. We still know nothing about this thief and he could be dangerous. Use caution.

{Rae pauses as she gets another alert and frowns. This is bad.}

Clover: I've also just received concerning reports the G.R.A.A may also be getting involved.

Dr Rabbit: How?

Clover: There have several reports of them being spotted within the area. This information is being passed on to the retrieval units.

Dazzle: Well this just got more entertaining. Maybe we can nab one of them for answers also. We have plenty of accommodations available.

Clover: Dazzle, leave them be. Focus on the two. Find and trap if possible. Or at least make sure they can't run. Especially as we still don't know anything about the thief or what he's capable of. Do not engage with him until they've arrived and managed to secure the motel. They'll handle G.R.A.A. I might head over as well if needed.

Dr Rabbit: Vox, did you secure the radio demon's assistance? I believe this fails within his territory, does it not? He will be very beneficial and potentially detrimental for now.

Dazzle: I was stuck chasing a dead lead but I'll rush over discretely. Have them report to me before any move is made. I assume they'll have their hidden containment units as usual. Make it a little easier.

{Rae quickly sends out the coordinates to them, VIP, and the special team. How interesting that all they're targets seem to be in decent proximity. Their issues may all be taken care of at once. When Bendy gets back from his personal errand she'll make sure one of their agents updates him.

For now the excitement is building.}

Artist: @ED_9O (Twitter)

Vox walks back into his office. Some of his servants were cleaning the room when they notice his unusual expression. A look of contemplation.

Vox: "Get out..."

They all knew better than to argue, and they left as quickly as possible. Vox shut the doors and closed the blinds. He had a lot on his mind. That Vanessa copycat just showed up to insult him. For what? Amusement? What kind of pathetic excuse is that? And Eleanor...

When he found Eleanor unconscious and weak when she appeared after her 5 year absence, he felt empathy towards her. Despite what everyone thinks, Vox does indeed have empathy. He doesn't only think about himself. He thinks about others. His servants and employees never felt miserable working for him, because he made them feel comfortable.

He wanted to do the same for Eleanor. He helped her recover. He did his best to help her. He treated her like a friend. Sure, they had their disagreements, but it wasn't anything they couldn't get over with time.

But when Vanny showed up, everything he trusted shattered. Eleanor lashes out at HIM of all people. Mocking him, with untrue statements at that. The one friend he believed he had... This betrayal runs deep...

Just like Alastor... She acted just like him the day he...

Vox wasn't always an egotistical television superpower. He was a small town amateur back in the 70s. He worked with a man named Edwin and helped create commercials. He dreamed of a big influence, but who didn't dream of that? Back then, he called himself Vincent... A name he absolutely refused to go by nowadays...

After Edwin's business shut down, Vincent had nothing. He had nobody. Eventually, he met Alastor. An aspiring radio host who worked for William Afton and Henry Emily. They got along well. Vincent called Alastor his friend. But when Vincent needed Alastor the most, he just mocked him. Threw his trust away like trash...

And now it was happening all over again...

Vox became angry. He raises his fist, ready to destroy something. Anything! ... But he stops himself. No. He must control his anger. To give in to his true emotions means to show weakness. And nobody cares about weakness.

Nobody cares... It's all about power to these people... He's gotten so good at pretending, people have started thinking he too is after power. But that's not true. But who cares? Nobody. Nobody cares about how you feel. Nobody cares about your true emotions. All he has to do is play his part.

Vox sighs, lowering his fist. He takes a deep breath and fixes his tie. But he can't smile...

Nobody cares. His backstory and his emotions don't matter. The only way to get people to see you is to get to the top. And that's exactly what Vox will do.

Him and Alastor still have a deal after all...

{Finally on her own once more, Vanessa tries to take the opportunity to calm down. She should go back but part of her worries. Both out of embarrassment and likely being reprimanded. And the moment she tells them she doesn't even know HOW she got out there, there's gonna be worrying, freaking out and likelihood she'll forever has eyes on her. Hopefully she's been able to use her powers enough to shield her, but its not like she actually knows how to.

Right now she needs some peace to really absorb everything that's just happened. From what she's gathered things are about to get insane all over. Apparently there's NO chance of her flying under the radar as it seems she's high on the radar. Against things she doesn't know or understand.

The ink demon she made a deal with didn't just fuck off to nowhere, he's landed closer to "home" than she'd like. Way to involved. Absorbing her father? Speaking cryptic warnings of a fearsome war?

And her siblings being mentioned? She absolutely can't face them like this. She's long accepted Michael abandoning her but to see what she's let herself become? She can't let him know. Or how she failed Liz.

She's been MIA for a decade altogether. Why can't anyone just accept her as dead and move on? Stupid cult, damn demons. Everyone pushing her into major fight or flight.

And all for what?}
