#loop 415

Joey Drew wanted to create a living toon of Bendy as an attraction, to make even more money through the studio. Thus leading to the creation of the dreaded Ink Machine.

His first attempt was a blob of ink with a crooked smile and a bowtie, a failed attempt. He locked this creature away in Thomas Connor's office and began creating more attempts.

The second attempt wasn't any better, a sentient blob of ink with a smile and a bowtie, which was also shunned away into the GENT worker's office. Joey didn't know what was going wrong until finding out that a soul would be needed to create a perfect attempt. After acquiring a soul from an unnamed worker, a perfect attempt was created. The spitting image of Bendy himself.

However, after this, the first attempt had broken out of Connor's office and the second attempt had gone fully missing and various workers reported seeing a puddle of ink moving around. Nobody did anything about this, and soon the janitor Wally Franks went missing as well. And within a week and a half of the perfect attempt of Bendy being made, it also went missing.

The composer Sammy Lawrence soon began seeing a “dripping demon with a crooked smile,” which drove him insane, causing him to quickly work the supposed Demon into his music. The discordant soundtracks were concerning to the band members and various others. One of the projectionists tries to call out his behavior to Joey but he brushes it off.

Not long before the studio falls into ruin from the flood, the first Bendy attempt is seen roaming around the studio. A towering, skeletal Demon with ink dripping from its horns and a drooping bow tie, limping through the studio. It had absorbed the other two attempts that were made and evolved due to it. The second attempt had only given it small, drippy limbs. Absorbing the perfect attempt however made it even further corrupt and skeletal. 

Sammy saw this demon before going on his “sacrificial” killing spree and succumbing to ink poisoning after drinking inkwells for months.

After the studio falls into ruin, a person runs into the studio and comes face to face with the demon. The aptly named Ink Demon absorbs this person, thus gaining its final strengths and further demonic appearance. The person as well is now a part of the ink demon, the soul it never had in the first place. The Demon could never be harmed fatally with this person alive. The person called themself Entropy.
