Prologue

It started with a crazy idea.

When it came to Joey Drew and his potential project it always starts off like that.

The owner of the studio was as colourful as a firework display and had the potential to be just as destructive. Mr Drew have always been charisma personified, unfortionetly logic at times failed to enter the picture.

The studio had already celebrated their second year of existence with the bells and whistles Joey deemed necessary. The janitor was not all that happy having to clean it up the morning afterwards, especially at account that some of the crew members couldn't handle that much alcohol, said Janitor included.

The newest thing they were focusing on was the upcoming second year celebration of Bendy's first cartoon. Joey wanted to make a big spectacle of the entire thing. Just what he had in mind was anyone's guess.

Bendy was a controversial character both on and off the screen. First and foremost Bendy was a demon, not only that he was a swing and jazz loving demon. Some of the older generations still had a hard time to accept the change and still called it (quite fittingly for Bendy) 'devil's music'.

But the younger public loved it and they weren't alone when it came to using controversies in their cartoons in order to draw people in. Both the West- and East coast companies have done the same to various degrees.

The staff that worked on the Bendy Cartoon was also quite diverse but the majority of where considered Juvenile. Joey Drew studio was for many of them their starting ground. It was both a blessing and a curse since that meant that some lacked practical experience in their jobs, but it also meant that there could be new and fresh ideas ripe for the picking. There were also quite a few women that worked as inbetweeners, due to the state the entire country was in it gathered sneers from some.

Another thing that was striking about Bendy was who voiced him, Clement 'Clem' Cornelius. Not only was Clem's voice work and singing incredible but those that had met him wanted someone more suitable to play the role of the main character, others felt insulted. Clem's skin was dark, very dark, as was most of the musicians and the projectionist too. Some people did frown at that others assumed it was for cutting labour cost, same with all of the 'girls'.

But Joey didn't really bother with stuff like that. If they could get their work done and put all their might into it (and if they were crazy enough to stick around Joey when he had 'those days'), they had a seat and payroll in the studio.

So here they were all gathered in the Pub room Joey was going to reveal 'some major plans' the staff just hoped that he was not planning on rewriting scheduled episodes from scrap, the last time he did that it sent several members of the staff to the infirmary due to overwork.

The room was bussing with noise from all the studio employees.

"My dear friends and co-workers I have gathered you all here for an announcement." Joey boomed from the stairs where he stood.

Henry stood next to Joey both to help answer any questions and in case Joey's leg started to act up.

The current staff members where all gathered up, from the young janitor to the musicians and the animators. Trying to make themselves comfortable when some more or less where shoulder to shoulder with each other.

"As you all know we are celebrating the second anniversary of Bendy's first cartoon. I have plans to reveal a revolutionary new idea. Something that has never been seen before, it will however be kept a secret until further notice. It will however take up most of my time so till further notice Mr. Howard will be in charge." At that Henry looked a bit surprised at Joey. True he was the head animator and was the first one to join Joey on his crazy idea, but he should have at least discussed this with henry before telling the entire staff.

"It has also been scheduled that we will have a documentary made at the fist of May, so I want all of you ready to spread the word about working here. I also want all of you to dress nicely, and keep up that smile." Joey said with great charisma.

The entire room was buzzing with the employees mumbling about what the new project could be.

"Any Questions?" At that a few hands shot up in the air and called for Joey's attention.

"Mister Drew how long will the project take?" Mr. Marsh one of the oldest members of the staff and a background painter asked, he was sitting on one of the chairs and fiddled with his glasses that kept slipping down his nose.

"If everything goes as planned then it should all be done on the 10th of February. But it is too soon to say."

"Are we switching to colour?" One of the animators Nick Blake asked excitedly with his brother's Richie looking at his brother, eyes wide at the suggestion. But none the less excited about the potential idea. The slight unruly blonde hair of the Blake twins was easy to spot. They could probably rival Joey when it came to creative and fun ideas. Joey just chuckled at the idea, but kept his pleasant grim none the less.

"Sorry but no." at that, Nick pouted and Richie looked just as disappointed. Only to receive another amused chuckle from Joey.

"Are we making changes in the upcoming second year special?" Mae, one of the inbetween artists asked, it was a miracle that anyone could see her due to her short stature and her heels could only help so much. But they could recognise the brunette from her high-pitched voice.

"That I can't say. But the story will be kept intact." At that Henry swore that he heard half of the room sigh in relief. Not that he blamed them, as much as he loved his job it was demanding and no one wanted to redo or scrap already complete work.

"Now if that is all your questions, let us get back to work. Bendy won't be making those cartoons himself." Joey said almost skipping up the stairs cane in hand. Leaving Henry behind and the rest of the staff in the pub room. All of them looking at him.

"So what is the next step boss?" Nick asked with a cheeky grim that could rival Bendy. Breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"First off no need to call me boss, I am still Henry and we will continue like we usually do. We do have the work planned out for the next six cartoons. So we will continue with the work that we have now. We will have a meeting on next Wednesday to plan for new cartoons like usual. Alright?"

"Yes sir." A cheerful replied came from the crowd. Henry smiled and made his way back up to the main floor. He heard how some of the workers began to move towards their work areas. They had a job to do after all. Little did they know that just what would happen in a months' time.
