Benevolent: Chapter 3

Audios

Audrey had never had to fight or run away from anyone in fear, but that was exactly what she was doing while trying to find a way out of Joey Drew's abandoned Studio. But that wasn't the only thing she did. The girl tried to find more information from the mysterious "S. L." who wrote about the events that led the Studio to this state. After that letter, she couldn't find anything, to her regret. Audrey was still thinking about the Demon they'd created. And whom she had seen in person. The thought of him gave her the creeps. Why the hell is he so scary? The letter didn't say he was scary. Just that he looks human. This monster did not look like a man even if you stand far away and squint. It was a real demon.

Finally, the girl came to one of the departments of the Studio. It wasn't huge, but it wasn't small, too. For the most part, there were rooms with desks and projectors. On one of the walls was a beautiful inscription "Joey Drew Studios", decorated with swirls and drawings. Audrey walked into a long, low-ceilinged room lined with work desks with lots of drawings on them. She hoped to find another letter, but all she found was a small note with another picture of Bendy on it.

"He found out we were with him... S. L."

She put the note in her pocket. This story became, personally for her, more interesting and more interesting. She thought about it a lot. What could have gone wrong? And how did Joey Drew even manage to create this Demon?... Only letters could answer her questions. This was her quest. Like a game.

'Hopefully, there won't be a boss fight at the end of it to get out of here', she thought.

There was a sudden sound of music, which startled Audrey. She turned sharply toward the exit, hoping to see someone to or from whom she would have to run because it would be so much easier, but there was no one in the doorway. She walked slowly in the direction of the music. The sound came from the end of the corridor, directly opposite of the room she was in. It was terrible to think who or what might be at the end of it waiting for Audrey, but she tried not to think much about it, although it was given to her with great difficulty.

'Why can't I just walk out of here, huh?', thought she, walking by the door marked "Exit", 'Oh, maybe because you're looking for adventure on your ass, huh, Audrey?... Someday I'll put me under the knife myself', she exhaled.

The melody was painfully familiar, like nostalgic memories of better times. Audrey's legs buckled, her head began to spin like a crazy carousel, she could not think, concentrate. The song was bursting into every corner of her brain, reminding her, making her remember something long forgotten. Something long ago told.

"Someday under lightning skies

You'll meet someone worse all wars

And you'll be first very frightened

And think 'oh, it will be my end'

But don't judge by the looks my dear

You see - this one's nice to me

They'll save you from all the troubles you'll meet

They can help you feel better

when

you

weep"

The man could not normally pull himself together. Since his wife had left him, he had no strength for anything. His child sits alone in its room and in the house, which was always full of children's laughter and friendly conversations, silence reigned. The man wanted to put everything back in place, but it seemed nothing would ever be the same...

A child's voice came from behind:

"Why aren't you sleeping, dad?"

The man turned around. His daughter was standing there. Her black wavy hair, which was always braided, lay on her shoulders. Her pajamas were covered in stars. They glowed in the darkness. His father smiled sadly. It hurt him to show his sadness, the last thing he wanted was for his daughter to be sad.

"It's late and you need to go to bed. If it's hard for you to fall asleep, I can sing to you. Good?" Father nodded.

The girl took her father's hand and led him to his bedroom. She climbed up on the bed and lay down beside her father, hugging him, and began to sing...

Audrey woke up in a small, clean room. There was almost nothing around except a table and a couple of chairs. There was a kerosene lantern on the table. The girl sat down on the bunk and immediately took up her head. Everything was still going around. She was approached by a stranger. He was taller than she was.

"Ah, you're awake. Are you still sick?"

The girl nodded and she was immediately served a mug of water. She took a sip. The water was warm.

"I don't usually hand out water just like that - there's not much of it anyway, but I saw the state you were in and decided you need it now."

He held out his hand and helped her to stand up. Finally, Audrey was able to examine her savior. She almost fell again. He wore a mask with Bendy's head on it, but it was painted all over with ink. His body wasn't exactly human - he was terribly thin and covered in ink. He was wearing some kind of a jumpsuit almost entirely stained with the same ink.

"Who are you?" Audrey said, a little startled. The man frowned.

"Why are you afraid of me? And it's after I saved you..."

"Oh, uh, you know..."

She pointed to his body. The stranger took the hint.

"Oh, well. One point in your favor." He held out a leather-gloved hand. "I'm Sammy. Except for the name and the fact that I was a musician, I, unfortunately, do not remember anything else. And who are you? I've definitely never seen you..."

Sammy examined the girl. Her appearance seemed impossible to him. Her eyes were completely golden and light. The ink flowed from them. Her neck and the left side of her body were also covered in ink. She seemed... unreal. It felt like she was on her way to becoming a Lost One, but it was as if the process had been slowed down or stopped altogether. She actually seemed lost.

"I'm Audrey. Erm... everything okay?"

Sammy caught himself staring at the girl in pure shock.

"Oh, yeah, sorry. I just..... You know what? Forget it. Come with me."

He waved his hand, showing Audrey to follow him. She shrugged and followed him.

The man led her out of the room. Before them was a long dark corridor. Sammy took the kerosene lantern from the table and the axe that hung near the door.

"Be careful. It's dark and you can't see the ink."

"What happens if I'll step in it?"

He looked at her and then pointed to his body. Audrey nodded and they went out into the corridor. It felt like there was no end to it. The lantern illuminated the walls, painted black, and only occasionally was the wall itself visible. On the floor, she saw a puddle of ink, and right before she stepped in it, she had to jump over. Sammy smiled at her. 'Good job, Audrey', she told herself. The man seemed safe. She wouldn't mind being friends with him.

Suddenly, from the front, where there was a fork to the left and right, an angry growl was heared.

"Run to the right!", Sammy shouted to the girl, pushing her forward.

To the left, the same thin shadows that Audrey had seen earlier were approaching. She caught sight of Sammy out of the corner of her eye, standing with an axe in his hand, ready to face the monster that was coming closer and closer. It was dark all around, since Sammy still had the kerosene lantern, but she could still find the door. Which was locked. Audrey started banging and screaming in panic, hoping to be let in. There was a scuffle behind her. It was like Sammy was losing. She didn't want to believe it. The door opened abruptly and someone behind it pulled her inside, immediately closing the door. Before the girl could properly see who saved her, she immediately began to scream:

"Sammy! Sammy is still there!".

A stranger in a thick jumpsuit and a mask on his mouth pushed Audrey away from the door and closed her mouth, putting a finger to his mouth. On his head were two black, wolf-like ears. They started to stir. The sounds outside the door faded.

"Motherfucker, don't you realize that the Ink Demon can hear you?", he turned to Audrey, " Especially when you're yelling like hell! You could have put us all in danger, you know that?!".

A girl in a thick sweater and a long skirt came up to him. She had leather gloves on her hands and on her head were... horns? She turned to the man in a soothing, almost singing voice.

"Come on, Tom, don't be so rude. She's probably new here. And speaking of that...", this time the girl turned to Audrey," How did you get here?"

"I don't know," she said, " I just woke up in a similar room..."

The girl looked around. The room was indeed similar , with little furniture and no ink.

"Hmm, okay. I'm Allison, this is Tom. There are two other people in the next room. It always does not hurt to get acquainted with as many people as possible. Especially in this place, " she shrugged, "it's even safer."

Allison waved her hand and they went into the next room. Fortunately for Audrey, no one asked about her appearance. Maybe only Sammy was that surprised.

A girl with shoulder-length black hair sat in the room. There were two sharp horns on her head, just like Allison's, and a halo stuck on her forehead. Ink was leaking from the wound it'd left. One of the girl's eyes was black, as were her hands. She was wearing a knee-length sundress. Next to her sat a young curly-haired guy with the same ears as Tom. His face was also covered with a gauze mask. He was wearing a hard-fabric t-shirt and a dirty tartan jumpsuit. Both turned sharply toward Audrey, Allison, and Tom as they entered the room.

"Who is this?", The girl turned to Allison, "have you brought a stranger again? He is already enough”, She pointed to the guy next to her.

He looked at her insulted.

"This girl was coming here with Sammy. He didn't make it, but she did," Allison introduced the newcomer.

"I'm Audrey..." she said.

Everyone looked over. This made the girl startle. It was as if they knew something that she would have to learn.

"And I'm Alice," purred the girl, who at first was not happy with Audrey's arrival.

Now she was very much interested in her. The guy next to her introduced himself too:

"My name is Wally. We've been here a long time, " he smiled pleasantly.

He is friendly, that’s immediately visible.

"There are actually more people here, but everyone has fled to the most carved corners of the Studio. Hiding, " he shrugged.

Audrey smiled back at him. So far, she felt more or less safe, but she was still worried about her lost friend.

"What about Sammy?", she turned to Tom and Allison.

Now Tom spoke up.

"He always gets out of trouble like that. It's not the first time he's had a fight with the Ink Demon," he grinned, "He's the only one who's crazy enough to challenge him at all. The fucking Demon could have learned by now not to go where Sam is."

It was clear that Tom was proud of Him.

Everyone in a safe place went where they wanted to go. Tom went to rest, and Allison stayed in the same room where Wally and Alice were sitting. Alice took the lamp and part of the metal pipe and, despite the fact that she was told not to leave the room, she left and disappeared into the dark corridors of the Studio. Wally stayed with Allison.

"You know, we think we know who you are, but we're not quite sure yet. After a while, we'll go to the man who almost runs this place now, " the guy said to Audrey, pouring her what they called soup.

It smelled like bacon and ink, but it tasted edible.

"I would not say that he is directly omniscient. He missed a very large part of what happened here, but he's a leader. We all agreed with it. He was Joey Drew's best friend, you know..." Audrey nodded.

She only knew about Joey from S. L.'s letters.. She does not think she knows more about him than what was said there. She didn't mind going somewhere. There was no point in staying in one place, because then she would never have gotten out of it.

"This man's name is Henry. You see, a lot of people lose some parts of their memory by going a little crazy, but Henry, oh no, he remembers everything, very clearly. If anyone can tell you how you got here and why, it's him."

Wally finished his soup and looked at Allison, who had not yet said anything, but was just listening, reading something. Audrey recognized the letters she was collecting. She tried to pick them up, but Allison pulled her hand away.

"What is it and where did you find it?"

Audrey somehow felt guilty, even though she had done nothing wrong.

"Letters or just a story in the form of letters. They were in different parts of the Studio"

"And why do you need them? Do they mean anything?"

Allison continued to stand her ground.

"I'm putting together a complete picture, letter by letter. They say what happened to the Studio, " Audrey said, and reached for the notes again.

This time she was able to get them back.

"Let me explain. Whatever is in these letters is utter nonsense. This S. L.... He doesn't know anything. Already from what he says is clear."

Audrey frowned. Allison's words sounded like excuses, an attempt to hide something.

"We're moving right now. We can't waste time. Wally, wake up Tom. Tell him to take the machete. You'll have to be careful without Sammy."

The girl got up from the table and went to the exit. Wally gave her a sad look.

"She's not always like that, believe me. It's just that she must have been hurt by something in the letters themselves..."

He got up, too, and they followed her together.

The corridors again greeted them with darkness and ink. There were whispers all around, and someone was talking. Are these people in the walls or the rooms behind them? No one will forget. And no one seems to be paying attention. Like it's something normal. Audrey thought this was a logical conclusion. She kept thinking about the letters. But she didn't forget about Henry. The name reminded her of someone, but who... A lump rose in Audrey's throat. It was hard for her to stand and breathe. What was happening to her? Why is she always ill? She could not understand the reason for her bouts of slobbery. In her head, someone was whispering something soothing. Before her eyes stood a figure, broad-shouldered, tall... It seemed that it was very safe with it. It was only a couple of minutes later when others started pushing her, waking her up with that. Audrey didn't trust her fellow passengers very much and was ready to leave at any opportunity. She looked around for a quick escape. She was attracted by the small room that the company passed through. The room beckoned to her. And she did not contradict to it. Audrey looked around at the others and slipped inside before they could see. The room contained only a wardrobe and a table on which stood a dictaphone. She pressed the button to listen to the audio she hoped to find there. And there was actually audio recorded. A familiar voice began its message:

"Here's my first audio. It's faster than writing letters...Bendy... He's incredible. Very interesting... Not that he can do much, but he's intelligent! He understands everything and has his own ways of communicating. Through ink, I think. But it's better not to touch it often, that's for sure. They... tighten. That's why Susie and I started teaching him to speak or just explain with gestures. It takes longer than we thought, considering that we are constantly tired after work. It is like teaching a person who is already fully formed to speak from the very beginning. Susie draws on the walls, teaching Bendy. Today she was explaining to him what Flowers were."

Then another voice joined in. This one was tired, hoarse, but there was a sweetness, a precision in his voice.

"-Sammy dear, what are you doing here?

-Ah, Mr. Drew, I am... I was just resting! Is the pause over?

-Yes, your employees are looking for you.

-Oh, Yes, no problem, I'll be right there.

- Great..."

There were footsteps and the creaking of the door, but before it was fully closed, the man turned back to the narrator.

"And come to my office after work, will you? I have something to tell you..."

The audio ended there. Now Audrey knew who the letters were from. Sammy? Was it Sammy all this time? Unbelievably...

Someone touched Audrey's shoulder, making her turn. She turned fearfully, expecting to see one of those with whom she was walking, but to her great happiness it was not one of them. Sammy was standing in front of her. She didn't wonder how he'd survived or how he'd found her, she was just glad.

"What are we doing here?", Audrey laughed nervously.

"I wanted to see what's here..", Sammy nodded in understanding.

"Are you here yourself? You still haven't met the others?"

"Ah, yeah, they went on"

The Man crossed his arms and frowned at the girl.

"I'm sure no one allowed you to separate from the group"

Audrey was ashamed to argue. They left the room and went where they were supposed to go - to Henry, whose name made Audrey dizzy.

~Please click and/or open in new tab for better view! Thank you!

Finally FINALLY I got around to doing character designs for everyone (at least the main cast) including rubberhose versions and extra bendy-verse versions of them! The bendy-verse versions of them are meant to be characters they voice acted in the actual cartoons including the titles of the episode their characters were in!

Over-all i’d say i’m very pleased with how these turned out and quite like my designs and hope you guys do too! A few notes I wanted to add on design decisions will be under a readmore :P

(please don’t repost or use w/o permission, and leave my description; thanks!)

Henry- his was pretty hammered out in my mind the moment I heard his voice; I wanted to make him look very kind and soft, the brown eyes really doing it for me along with his over all kind of soft-ish deameanor (sweater vest? comfy...). I’m not gonna lie, he makes me think a LOT of my dad (a great guy whom I love) who is late 40′s so I think i got his peppered hair down pretty well LOL. Otherwise I see him as being really nervous when he’s unsure of things, but he pushes through regardless

Sammy- of course the pretty boy for me fell into the blondie blue eyed trope which wasn’t intentional but it happened. I based his hair off an old propeller knight design of mine from shovel knight, combined with a bit of that lawyer with the silver hair from ace attorney because when I think proper/prim I think of that guy (edgeworth? I think?). Otherwise the sassiness kinda came into play a lot with this, including a ‘better than you’ vibe

Norman- Okay, look. I know he’s not what you’d typically picture upon hearing his voice from the game but that’s because he isn’t! I based him off caleb hyles’ lovely voice from instruments of cyanide, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t think of his in-game self! I tried to give him a sorta cocky southern cowboy kind of vibe, always having a toothpick in his mouth and random ink smudges regardless of what he was doing. Also the flashlight behind his ear is perfect for sneaking through dark places a nosy mf might just try to go

Susie- again, the whole pretty blondie thing kind of stuck with me because I saw most other designs had her blonde; I actually tried a LOT of hair colors with her and none of them felt right for me except for blonde. When I made her eyes dark green I was DONE FOR. I literally can’t stop flustering because I think i made her pretty LOL. the little spatterings of freckles were just a cherry on top really, but she’s essentially sassy, good taste, and sammy’s best friend with whom she loves gossiping

Allison- I based her a LOT on her model’s look because, well, that’s what i had to go off of really! She ended up looking like my mom (can I stop making people look like my parents?!) on accident but hey it fits. I tried to make her seem calm and determined, and a bit more modest with her style; not to say she couldn’t be super dressed up if she felt like it! not much else I can say for her

Tom- HOO BOY. I really just went ham here; I gave him the typical gruff square jawed man look you’d picture a drill sergeant to have, but then it got to all the extra details and it was really fun. The mole on his nose, scars, amputated arm (because of his in game model) and intense eyes all add an ‘i’m experienced and will not take your bullshit’ vibe I wanted him to have, but not in an angry unfriendly way entirely.

Wally- I love this boy SO MUCH. he’s a ray of sunshine and I really wanted to show that so he’s wearing yellow, all smiles, doused in cute freckles, and has curly hair. I liked the idea of him being a red-head a lot so I stuck with that because other hair colors didn’t really suit my taste for him! anyways I love wally and I cry over him

Joey- This guy. man oh man, this guy. So he’s based off his in game model as well, but aged down to his more of ‘still working’ time period but is very salt and pepper like henry because I figured they’d be a similar age. I tried to give him a very powerful and calm demeanor because he’s in charge and has a firm grasp on everything, but he still is charming and able to woo people easily with his charisma. So you’ve got this lovely blue eyed devil who most certainly is not as nice as that smile... (his blue eyes however are very lovely)
