⛧▐ B.ENDY IN: Give pay to the ink machine ! With @versionisms !▐ ⛧
-` ☾ ⛧ ´- ⊰ He NEVER understood the full implications of the Ink Machine. All it was to him was some bulky contraption with a whole lot of wasted ink ! Despite the thirty years he'd been a toon ------ he'd never been able to turn it on himself or with the help of other toons. No, all this time, the demon depended on the LITTLE things; stray inkwells, pens abandoned in corners, whatever he could find ! He hasn't run out yet ------ but the reality was looming over him that one day, he WOULD. ⊱ ⛧
⛧ ⊰ Unless he could activate that ol’ machine. ⊱ ⛧
⛧ ⊰ Perhaps he could TRY AGAIN today; see if he could get that clunky old machine running & ease those fears of running out for a long while. Maybe his lousy, no good creator left some notes somewhere or something ( certainly his ' prophet ' wasn't going to tell him anything ). Maybe that man left at least the slightest bit of HOPE for them. ⊱ ⛧
⛧ ⊰ But then ------ as he passes by that pathway, his eyes catch sight of emptiness; a void that he just cannot ignore. THE INK MACHINE WAS GONE. Instead; there was another strange man there. Almost immediately does the demon jump to conclusions; flaring up as he marches right up to the man. Granted; the image looks rather silly as the devil failed to reach even 3 ft in height ------ but that's not stopping him. ⊱ ⛧
