You knew that Henry and that girl were planning to turn on the ink machine, and honestly that was even better than what you had imagined was going to happen! Once the machine was on, you could finally take on a physical form and get revenge on that old bastard! As for the girl...she was a weirdo. You weren't sure what to do with her yet. So far she was just good for a laugh. So, with nothing better to do at the moment you decided to just keep following the girl around as she began her little treasure hunt. The first thing she found was that doll that some angry dame had given to Joey years ago.
Wait. Now hold on a tick.
You paused, settling in a cutout as you watched the girl, trying to recall that day. That other girl. The errand girl. Now she was a REAL vamp. No Alice Angel, but a looker either way. Long (h/c) locks that went against the short haired style of the time, a lovely shade of (s/k) skin, and the dame had a spark to her. Sure, she did what was asked, but she always had some sort of snide remark. you had liked watching her. This couldn't have been here...could it? You snuck closer in another cutout and watched as she held the plush in her hands. Wait..was she about to cry? She looked like she was going to...that was no fun! You had to do something about that. The dame looked much better freaked out than on the brink of tears. However she shook her head and began to walk away, choosing to keep up with the search instead of crying. You kept your eyes on her as she made way to that weird makeshift projection area Joey had made. She noticed an old sketch of you on one of the tables and wrinkled her nose. Rude. Looking around, the girl noticed Joey's old book and knelt down to pick it up. As she stared at it she seemed to get lost in thought, and so did you. The more and more you looked at it, the more certain you became that this was her. The errand girl.
It had been years ago. You couldn't exactly remember how long, but it had been a while. The studio was buzzing with activity as everyone was working on the 10th episode, and you were honestly pretty excited too. Though, this was mostly because that idiot Drew was finally getting to REAL work, getting the ink machine worked on further so you, Boris and Alice could finally take on physical forms. But, ehhhhhh...Joey Drew was getting a bit weird. Not only had you noticed, but his workers as well, including that errand girl. She was even making a point to avoid him if she could. You couldn't really blame her. You watched as she sat at her crappy little desk near the entrance to the studio, going through storyboards and checking over which sketches went where. Her hair was tied back in a rather frantic ponytail and she honestly didn't look too happy about her position. Feeling bored, as Joey was too busy to talk to you, and your friends weren't exactly..conscious like you were, you decided to take up your hobby of spying on the sassy errand girl. You popped over to the cutout beside her desk and glanced down at the storyboards. It involved some sort of scene with you and Alice, with you trying to swoon her over or something. That was easy, you already did that all the time anyway! At least, when she wasn't trying to steal your spot light...you would rally have to have a talk with her about that once Joey brought her out. YOU were the star here! A movement from the errand girl caught your attention and you glanced back at her. She was fumbling with the papers, getting them all in order so she could take them to Henry. As she worked the tip of her tongue poked out of the side of her mouth. Aww, that was cute. As she pushed herself up from the table Joey suddenly appeared from around the corner, making her yelp and drop the papers, scattering them all over the floor. " , you scared me!" Errand girl stammered, kneeling down to gather up the papers. Joey looked a mess, ghostly pale and he hadn't shaved in weeks, no wonder he had scared her. You actually wished you could help her with those papers, it was obvious Joey wasn't going to. "I-It's fine (Y/N), and didn't I tell you to just call me Joey, heh! L-Look...I know things haven't been too swell since we brought in Alice..." Huh? Alice? What did Alice have to do with the errand girl? "But look! We still love having you here, and, and-and I've got a great way for you to help us even more! We just need a...a tribute! Yes, a tribute! For the gods!"
Ah dear. Joey has finally fallen from the coo coo's nest. And the poor errand girl looked shaken.
"Wait, what?" She got up off the ground and took a few steps back away from Joey. Oh this was not going to end well. You wished you could make some sort of motion to tell Joey to BUZZ OFF, but anything could scare her, and well, you liked the errand girl. You don't want to scare her off. "Y-yes, appease the gods! That way are work can carry on and the results would be beautiful! And you'll play a huge part in it (Y/N)! Anything will do, even-even that cute little Bendy plush!" The errand girl looked around frantically for help, and you were almost about to do something until she snatched the plush off her desk and shoved it into Joey's arms. "Here! You can have this, and my resignation you freak! I quit!"
She stormed out the door after that. Never setting foot inside again. At least, not for a long, long time.
The girl, the ERRAND GIRL, shook you from your thoughts as she moved, tucking the book under her arm and going over to the makeshift projector, next grabbing Sammy's old vinyl. God, now that man was a pain in the ass. A fantastic musician, but a pain in the ass. Still, your mind was spinning. This was the errand girl! Holy cow! How did she of all people end up back in this inky place? You watched her with your eyes as she carried the vinyl with everything else she had collected, and then she stopped and stared at the desk in the far corner, secluded from the rest of the studio. Beside it was a cutout, and at its feet was yet another item the errand girl needed. The wrench. You couldn't help but snicker as a doom slowly made its way over her face. Oh this was going to be hilarious! And you could get a better look at her too, just...just to be sure. You hopped into the cutout, trying to contain your laughter as so took a deep breath and slowly made her way to the hallway where the cutout was. She looked you dead in the eyes and held her gaze as she knelt down to get the wrench. Oh god, was this dame trying to assert dominance or something?! You felt laughter rumbling in your chest. There was no mistaking it, this was her! The errand girl! No other workers would have looked at you like that! As she stared at you, wrapping her fingers around the wrench, her words from before echoed in your mind. "Bendy, you do know it's rude to scare your girlfriend, right?" Well now...she wasn't no Alice Angel, but he certainly wouldn't mind this. Still, scaring her was hysterical. You couldn't hold it in any longer. You started breaking out into giggles. Your errand girl let out a blood curdling shriek and snatched the wrench, shoving herself off the ground and running out of there as fast as she could. Now your giggling had evolved into full out laughter.
