Something New

I walked around the music department some, stressed from all the pressure Joey had been putting on me in the recent days. I then saw Sammy sitting in the recording studio alone, *that's strange... he usually is in there for when we practice*. I decided to walk into the room to check on him. There he sat as he began to pull out a cigarette from a box that had the word "camel" on it.

"Hey Sammy," I began to sign to him. I recently learned how to sign due to Joey not wanting me to speak outside of recording lines. "Why are you smoking in the building"

Sammy gave a small chuckle and then turned to look at me. He took a small drag from the cigarette before saying, "because I don't give a damn what Joey says. Plus I've seen that man light one to two cigars in his office." Sammy the looked at me curiously, "why do you mention me smoking? You never have before."

I jolted a little, not expecting that question. "Because I don't wanna have you get in trouble, Sam," I signed.

"Bah, I don't care if I get yelled at Joey at this point." Sammy said in a nonchalant manner. He then took another drag from the cigarette before he picked up the box of other cigarettes and offered me one. "Wanna give it a try? It ain't that bad, you may like it," Sammy grinned.

I was hesitant. I didn't know if I should take it. I mean, I knew I was an adult and it was my decision to take a cigarette or not, *but was it a good to do?* I brushed the worry to the side and reached for a cig. "Thank you," I signed as Sammy lit the cigarette for me. We both then just stayed in the recording studio enjoying a little smoke.

"So, you like it?" He asked with a grin.

I nodded, I never knew that something like this could taste this good. I also slowly began to feel my nerves become less shaky as the nicotine helped calm me down. "Is this a good thing to do, Sammy?" I asked him in sign.

"Uh... well," Sammy began. "It can be a sort of an addicting habit, but knowing you... you'd be fine."

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! I hope you guys enjoyed my first year of participating in Ink Demonth 2025. Before we conclude it though, I wanna make a quick announcement!

If you guys liked my shorts stories I wrote for Ink Demonth this year and want to go rereadthem without scrolling all the way back in my feed. Well I have the solution to this problem. I have made document accessible for you guys to view on your free time to read these stories again.

I also have another collection of writing that was done well before Ink Demonth, so you know before I got better at writing lol. I will also be giving you guys access to view the document if those stories too! If you see that some stories repeat with the two documents, don't worry you're not crazy: I did repeat some that I thought would fit but I fixed them to my current writing style.

Happy reading!

Fate is a Strange Thing(Ink Demonth Day 31) TW: mature content that is pretty graphic in gore

"'Go find something to eat in the kitchen, it'll be fine' Sammy said.... 'Don't worry' Sammy said." I grumbled to myself as I walked the halls of the cult. I made a slight growl as I headed to the kitchen to grab something to eat that wasn't ink. Finally I entered the kitchen, but saw a large lost one frying something in a pan.

"Oh...umm..." I said with slight confusion as I peeked my head into the kitchen doorway.

Chef Buck stopped what they were doing for a moment and turned to face the smaller lost one. "You.” He said in a slight menacing voice. “I was wondering when you'll show up. Funny how fate made it happen today. Heh...I was just finishing up on cooking a meal" His tone of voice completely changed to a more cheerful and happier voice compared to the previous menacing one.

"You were expecting me?" I asked, clearly confused.

"Of course! All Lost Ones need to try me cooking at least once..." Buck placed a plate in front of me. It had a heart and it was still slightly beating still. The pulsing flesh made me a bit nauseous. I was immediately nervous about consuming such meat.

"...” I honestly was lost for words. Finally some words managed to leave my throat, “is... is that?"

"Yep! You remember how one can be reborn from the ink?" He asked me as he turned back to the countertop to sharpen his knife.

"Yeah...." I said in a voice of skepticism.

"And you remember Andre?" Buck smirked.

"Yeah," I said. Then I soon realized, "Oh god.. you didn't."

"Just try it,” Buck said as he nudged the plate closer to me. “I mean, do you want to end up like those Swollen Searchers from consuming only ink?" He asked with a dark chuckle, knowing that the dark threat could convince me to eat.

"N...no…” I said as I began to eat it. At first I felt nervous about eating it, but ended up liking it. The spices sang in my mind as I ate. I didn’t know such good food could exist in the Cycle, but now I found it. Even if it was a slightly pulsing heart on my plate.

"Good, I'm guessing," he asked with a hearty chuckle.

"Good? It... it's so flavorful!" I said with excitement. I then felt my conscious tug on me a little, “but…”

"But?" He inquired.

"But it feels wrong..." I said with a bit of guilt in my voice. I looked back at the plate knowing that what I was doing was wrong.

"Don't worry... Andre isn't gone forever..." Buck said with a sick grin.

I kept eating and talking to Buck. Then a very skinny lost one entered, you could visibly see their inky heart beating in their chest. I didn’t dare look up from the food I was eating.

"Ahhhh... back I see, Andre. Well someone here likes it," Buck said as he looked over in my direction.

"I'm guessing you need it again?" Andre said with a sigh, knowing Buck’s answer already.

"Oh well course!" Buck smiled. Andre sighed and pulled his heart out himself. He looked at me and gave a tiny wave before collapsing on the floor.I was scared at first, "Andre?!?!" Then I remembered what Chef Buck said, "Right, he'll be back"

Reliving It, Doesn't Change It(Day 30)

I sat up in the cot I didn’t remember falling asleep in. I looked towards the door and saw Shi, who looked like hell. I started to get out of the cot to check on them before they gave me a stare as if to tell me to not get up. So, I didn’t get up at all, since I didn’t want to incur their wrath.

“Are you oka-” I attempted to ask before they lashed out at me.

“No! Do I look ‘okay’ to you?!” Shi said with such spite and anger. “Your dumb ex-boyfriend just loves to be a pest, doesn’t he?”

Ex-boyfriend? Then it clicked in my head that Shi was referring to Joey. He and I never dated, but people always seemed to like to tease that Joey and I used to date in some sort of past life before the studio went to Hell. I shook my head a little and looked at Shi again.

“So what did Joey do to you?” I asked with a slight chuckle as I saw them begin to pace around some.

“Everything!” They huffed. “He expects me to forgive after all the dumb stuff he has done to me before all of this! There is no way I could forgive him. He’s hurt me too much” I noticed Shi rub their arms some.

“Did he do something to you in the past?” I asked, hoping the subject wasn’t touchy.

“I… I don’t wish to discuss it with you, Mr. Stein.” They said but not out of anger but of sadness. “It is no offense to you, I just only tell my personal details of my identity to people who I trust full heartedly… and you, I don’t trust that much.” Shi got closer to the cot, “ be happy that I was nice enough to bring you back here to get some rest.”

I nodded, “I do appreciate that, but I understand the hatred towards Joey honestly. The last time I saw him, well it wasn’t pleasant. I was having an argument with him and all I wanted to do was leave this job behind to go and start my family with Linda. But, now… now I know that I’m just a mere recreation of that Henry Stein that Joey knew of all those years ago. Just a puppet placed into this inky hell just to be a torture doll for a failed crooked empire.” I sighed as I looked back at Shi. Their eyes, including their weak lidded one, were wide open as they began to cover their mouth.

“I never knew that Mr. Drew would go that far as to do that.” Shi said. “ He thinks making us relive the past will eventually cause it to change, but that’s just pure insanity.” They turned away to head back out to the other cult members, “get some more rest, your stay here ends tonight right before Sammy holds his evening sermons.”

I nodded to them as they exited the room, “thank you, all of you, for letting me stay here for a bit to rest some.”

A Little Dance(Day 29)

I turned on the radio and the song “I’ll Never Smile Again” by Tommy Dorsey began to play. I then dragged Sammy out of his chair to get him to dance along to the music. Though he resisted at first, he soon gave in and joined in. Sammy chuckled a little as he saw me spin around to the music a little.

“I’ll never love again, I’m so in love with you,” I began to sing as I twirled towards Sammy. I then pulled Sammy into my arms and danced with him. “I’ll never thrill again to someone new.~”

We danced throughout Sammy’s office without a care in the world. He leaned in and gave me a kiss on the lips and when pulled back, he smiled at me. “I know I will never start to smile again,” Sammy began to sing just as I was about to join right back in. Then we sang the final line in unison, “until…I smile…at you.” As we said the last word, we brought our lips back together again to kiss.

“Hehe… You’re such a good singer, Samikins,” I said as I turned down the radio. “Why don’t you ever sing at the club with me?”

“I just like playing the piano more compared to singing.” Sammy said as he let out a small chuckle, “plus, you’re definitely a better singer than me, my little coffee loaf” He grabbed my slightly chubbied cheeks as he called his “little coffee loaf.” 

Then the radio started to play a certain melody that Sammy knew. He then rushed to the radio to turn the volume up. “Guessing you like that song?” I chuckled.

“Like it? No, I love this song!” Sammy said as he clutched the radio to his chest. “Ann Ronell is my favorite lyricist ever.” I looked a little disheartened when he said that, I had always thought I was his favorite. When he saw my saddened look, he then grabbed his chin and spoke to me in a tender voice, “You are my favorite gay lyricist boyfriend. There is a difference.” Sammy giggled as he pulled me to dance to his favorite song.

“Gone my lovely dreams, lovely summer dreams,” Sammy began to serenade me as we waltzed around his office more. “Gone and left me here to weep my tears along the stream.” Sammy spun me around when he picked me up from the ground. He and I giggled as he held me tight to his body.

I attempted to keep up with the lyrics while dancing with my dearly beloved, "murmur to the night, hide her starry night!” Sammy then joined in with the lyrics, “So none will find me sighing, crying all alone!”

We continued to sing until the song came to a sweet close, that’s when I decided to shut the radio off completely. I smiled at Sammy as he went back to his desk. I knew that we had to go back to work in order to get the next set of music done by the end of the week, but I couldn’t help but feel sad knowing that we had to stop dancing just to finish such a mundane task. That’s when he turned around in his chair and smirked at me.

“You. Me. Apartment. Tonight.” That’s all he signed to me before turning back around in his chair and getting back to work.

[caffeinechao414]

Locked Out!(Day 28)

I walked through the Music Department, extremely weary after dealing with the antics Shi and Jack managed to get into today. Why can’t they be calm for one day? Why must they cause chaos all the time towards me? I proceeded to walk into the Recording Studio to hopefully get into my little sanctuary to have some peace and quiet finally.

“Alright, gotta do the piano, bass, bass, drum, and the piano,” I told myself aloud. I used the hole in the wall to quickly get myself to the projector booth to turn on the projector. I went back through the hole to start playing the code. “Okay now where did that bass fiddle go?” I looked around until I found it, but when I was about to pluck it, the projector turned off.

There was a slight giggle I heard, but I just brushed it off and went back to turn the projector back on. When I got to the booth, I saw that one of the instruments was missing from the recording studio. You have to be kidding me! I stormed back to the recording booth to find the missing musical instrument. When I looked for it, the projector turned on again. I then took it as an opportunity to get into my little haven. When I went to play the correct order, I expected the gates to my sanctuary to open, but they didn’t.

“WHAT IN THE BLOODY NAME OF SATAN IS GOING ON?!?!?” I cried out in anger. I looked around the recording studio, huffing a bit out of anger. I cracked my neck a little to help me calm down some, “ shake it off, Sammy… you got this. It is probably my mind slowly losing it to tiredness. Then I heard the pesky giggling again.

“Alright!” I called out, picking up a nearby axe and I was now ready to attack whatever was causing that cursed giggling. “Show your damn face and explain what you’re doing!” I then saw Shi slowly slink out of the nearest hole the walls had.

“Hey Sammy…hehe. Why so angry?” They asked, trying to be all innocent.

“You have,” I started. “GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?!?!” I lashed out towards them. “I already had to deal with the shenanigans you and Jack were doing today, why must you irritate me more?!”

“I’m just tryin’ to have fun with ya, Sammy” They said with a slight whimper.

“No! No calling me ‘Sammy’ right now. I’m angry at you, so for now: no nickname use,” I said with a stern tone of voice. I saw them give a pitiful look. God dammit, why must they look like that every time I get on to them? Ugh, whatever. I looked at them again and sighed, “look, I’m sorry for lashing out at you, kiddo. Just tell the code you decided to change it to so I can get into my little sanctuary.”

“I changed it to only the banjo,” Shi said a little sheepishly.

“Pffftt… why??” I asked, holding back laughter.

“Because I like hearing you play.” They said as they handed me the nearby banjo.

“I get it.” I smiled. I turned on the projector and played the right notes in order to open the gates to my haven. Once I heard the gates begin to open, I sat the banjo down for a minute before ushering Shi into the sanctuary too so they could hear me continue playing the banjo.

“You should learn how to play something too, you know. Like maybe the violin or the piano.” Then I looked at their semi-damaged hands and remembered the stupid action they did of cutting their pinkies off just to match me, “oh…yeah. Maybe the piano is not the best option…nor is the violin, I don’t think.” I smiled at them to reassure them that it was going to be okay and that we will find something for them.

“Okay,” Shi said as they sat next to my chair as I went back to playing the banjo.

One Wild Ride(Day 27)

I wandered around an area unknown to me until I stumbled across a closed door. I liquified my body some to sneak in through the cracks of the door. I fully snuck into the room and saw a large sign that read “Bendyland” but the word “land” was crossed out with the word “hell” covering it. I wandered around this seemingly large storage room until I stumbled across another closed door with a sign above it saying, “Attraction Storage.”

“well , that’s interesting,” I muttered to myself. I looked around for a way to get into the room. My eyes landed on a slightly boarded up hole in the wall, “Bingo!” I then approached the hole, “this is my ticket inside.

I slipped through the hole and then reappeared now inside this smaller storage room. While I was in the room, I saw a large carousel-like ride that sat in the middle of the room. I decided to approach one of the cart seats that was lying on the ground. There was a faint grunt that sounded like there was a beast that had been asleep for a long time. I looked up at the doors on the attractions and they were indeed closed. Must be the gears. Don’t get all worked up about it, Shi.

I then crawled into one of the carts fully and looked around some more, “So this is what a coaster seat is like? Now I see why Sammy regrets never getting to go to that place he calls ‘Coney Island’.”

Then I was jolted a little when I saw the doors to the main body of the attraction open and reveal a large and startling head. “What is going on here?” The voice asked. I didn't notice its lips move, but I didn’t care too much for the little details at this time.

“OH GOD IT’S ALIVE!!!” I said in a panic, looking at the large head.

The large eye looked and me and the cart lifted up some to possibly get a better look at me. “Why are you here? No better…HOW did you get in here?!” The voice sounded extremely confused and dumbfounded.

I then pointed to the hole in the wall, “from there. I also am in here because I was wandering around some and then found this large storage place that held magnificent theme park equipment! I was amazed by it all!” I started to get a bit overly excited when describing Storage 9 and the items that were to be used for Bendyland. “It was like finding a treasure trove of toys! Honestly, I never knew that this place even existed… whoever made all of this must be a real genius!”

The head blinked at me leaving the room silent for just a moment before smiling towards me. “Well… why, you would be sitting right in front of the genius right now.” He let out a hearty laugh.

“You?! You made all of this?!” I said as I fell backwards in shock. “THAT’S SO COOL!!!” I stood back up in the cart, “wait? Does that mean that this carousel thing works too?” I was curious as I began to climb out of the cart and onto the metal arms.

The voice gave a slight chuckle to himself. I heard some of the gears beginning to turn within all of the machinery. “My lovely machine and I tragically got merged together when being put into this hellhole of a studio. But surely this old contraption still has some spirit left in it. Why? Are you curious about a round?” He chuckled again.

“Oh absolutely!” I said, excitedly nodding my head. I kept trying to climb up the metal arms of the ride.

Soon the noises of the turning gears got louder as the other carts began to rise. “Well, just a heads up kid, I would rather sit down for this. Me n’ my machine got quite the spin,” The voice let out a chuckle as he got more powered up.

I smiled again and quickly used Flow to get back to the cart I was in just a few minutes prior. “Hehehe… This is gonna be so much fun!” I looked around more as I started to feel the ride lift up fully.

He then smiled happily, finally getting to share his ride with someone who will appreciate his hard work. In now a more actor-like voice, he spoke, “well then, hold onto your seats ladies and gentlemen! This is gonna be the ride of your life!!” As soon as he finished, the carousel began to spin around as he chuckled in a very amused manner.

I giggled louder and occasionally letting out laughter mixed with excited screams. “Wahoo! This is amazing!” I then felt my mask fly off my face during the ride, but I didn’t care that my damaged face was revealed due to me having so much fun. “Hahaha!”

The smile didn’t leave the face of the large head. He could tell that I was having the time of my life and he himself couldn’t gauge how happy he was now seeing someone appreciate his attraction. “Glad you’re enjoying the ride.”

“Just enjoy it? You got it all wrong, sir…. I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!” I laughed with my smile never leaving my face, even when the ride came to a close.

The carts were soon let down with a slight bump. He chuckled again as the gears began to stop. “Hahaha, oh heavens. I cannot say how long it’s been since someone has appreciated my work as much as you have.”

“I’m guessing that Mr. Drew never liked such a marvelous idea?” I said, giving the head a smirk. I then reached for my mask that laid on the floor.

I heard the voice give off a scoff. “Tsk! Don’t get me started on him, quite in fact the opposite. He wanted to sell this park as HIS idea! This man was truly unbelievable.”

“Yeah.. tell me about it. Next time I see him, I’m throwing a brick at him!” I then looked back to the head and then cleared my throat to change the subject. “Anyways, I thank you for giving me such an unforgettable experience.” I started to get out of the cart and head towards the hole I came through earlier. “Good bye, sir. Hopefully I can see you again.”

I then realized that I never introduced myself the entire time I was here. Luckily I was known to most creatures in this studio, whether that would be knowing me for my history as the voice actor I was or knowing me as the infamous assistant to Sammy and his inky cult. I turned towards the attraction again, “oh! I just realized something: I never introduced myself this entire time I’ve been here. My name’s Shi and it was a pleasure to meet you.”

The eye followed my movements and looked down towards me, “Piedmont, Bertrum Piedmont. It was a pleasure meeting you as well. I’m glad my ol’ machine could still bring you some joy. If you’re ever up for another ride, you know where to find me.”

I smiled again as I started to go through the wall, “Good bye, Mr. Piedmont. I’ll be sure to visit again.” I then vanished through the wall leaving the Attraction Storage in silence.

Let's Play a Game(Day 26)

I looked around the darkened room and saw another Lost One like me sitting on the ground nearby. I approached the inky creature as it appeared to be rocking side to side. Once I was close enough, I saw them giggle and look up to me.

“Oh a new friend to play with!” The Lost One giggled with a higher pitched and more childlike voice, “I do love to play games. Please say that you will?”

I let out a tiny giggle, “why of course I would like to play with you, but first,” I squatted to the ground. “Why don’t you tell me what your name is because mine’s Porter.”

“Oh how silly of me,” she giggled, still rocking side to side. “My name is Heidi!”

“Well that’s nice to meet you Ms. Heidi.” I stood back up, “now what was this game you had in mind?”

“I do love a game of hide and seek,” Heidi said with a smile before standing up. “I’m really good at it. Now turn around so I can go hide.” She then saw me turn around, “And no peeking, hehe.” She then vanished with only a giggle being the last sound in the room.

“And 10,” I turned around. “Alright, come on out, Ms. Heidi.” I started to look around the entire area now confused on where Heidi went.

I continued to look around the area some more. How can she get so far, so quickly? I then saw her giggling while sitting on a barrel. I approached her again, “I guess I found ya” I laughed a little.

“Again! Again,” she laughed more just before vanishing before my eyes. This pattern would continue a few more times before the girl tired herself out. When she was ready to end the game, she handed me a small flower, “for the next time you want to play. Show me the flower if you ever want to play with me again.” With that, she was gone again.

[caffeinechao414]

Do Not Steal(Day 25)

I saw a door that read "DON'T KNOCK", but I didn’t care, I was curious on what was behind the door. I then knocked on the door regardless of what the door said.

"Is that you, Phil? I told you that I'm not opening the door until you bring me back my pictures. I drew them, I want them back" right before Bill could close the little window to the door, Shi held it open.... the two lost ones stared at each other.

"Umm... hi sir... you're the Mad Artist everyone talks about?" I said, giving a small wave.

"Well... my name's Bill Danton.... What do you need, cult child?" He said, slowly retracting his head from his peephole.

I held up one of his pictures. "I found this laying around and thought I'd return it to you... and how do you know I'm in the cult? Are you a spy for that Wilson guy?"

"Well thank you for finding my pictures and no, I'm not some spy for Mr. Arch...I can tell by the mask you're wearing,” Bill sighed a little tired of the assumption I made. “Plus you asked me last week to join the cult to worship the Ink Demon"

"Oh.... umm... well here ya go" I said, giving him the picture I found through his peephole of the door. 

Bill took the drawings. Grateful that someone didn't steal his pictures but actually brought them back. "Thank you again..."

"Well...I like to draw and I don't like it when someone steals my art... but who is this Phil guy?" I asked, confused on who this guy is.

"He is someone I showed my pictures to and then he never returned them. Thought he stole them!" Bill said with a sigh. “I told him not to steal them and now they’re gone!”

"I could go find the others if you want..." I suggested.

Bill's eyes light up with excitement. "That would be lovely! Thank you so much, little cult child""The name's Shi, but yeah," I said as I darted off to collect more pictures, carefully abiding the ink demon whenever he decided to go hunt for a snack. NO ONE SHALL DISTURB THE INK DEMON WHILE HE HAS HIS SNACKIES!!!! "There we go.... for them all... now gotta get back to that Bill Danton guy" I said as I went back to Bill's door with the pictures in hand. I knocked on the door again. Bill opened the door and took the drawings. He and I started to draw and show each other's art for the next few hours.

No More Taxes(Day 24)

I walked around my office, panicking a little due to the stack of papers that sat on my desk. Each time I looked at my desk, I thought I saw the pile grow larger. I let out a muffled scream of irritation because I knew that looking through the papers meant having to see Mr. Drew overspend our budget… again. Then I decided to finally do the work with a sigh because Mr. Drew would have a fit if it wasn’t done.

“I honestly should get this done,” I said, sitting down at my desk. “That’s if, I don’t wanna have Mr. Drew chew my head off.” I started to sort through the paper to first get them organized then I could start making the needed notation on it.

I then heard a knock on my office door. After a minute of silence, a voice came from the other side of the door, “umm… hello? Mr. Cohen, are you here today?” I recognized the voice of that little intern girl from the Music Department, but what was she doing here? I sighed and called out to let her come in. I saw her clutching something to her chest, a check but I wasn’t the person who gave out the paychecks to people.

“Alright why are you here Music Intern?” I asked, not even looking up from my stack of paper. “You know that I am not the paymaster of the studio, that’s in administration.”

“I know you aren’t, but I thought maybe you could explain something that is confusing me on it,” she said, slowly stepping into my office. “Also I’m no longer the intern for them, I voice act and for the love of god I have a name.”

I sighed looking up from my stack, “ I understand you have a name, but I am currently too tired to care.” I looked at their check again, “now what’s the issue with your check?”

“Well it is showing that I am having less payments and Mr. Drew said that it was nothing and that that was the same amount I was normally being paid, but I know that’s a lie,” Shi said looking at me. “Do you have any ideas as to why?”

I took their check and read the check number, “welp…looks like Mr. Drew has been stealing some of your guys’ money to fuel his secret projects” I sighed shaking my head, how could he do this? This had to be illegal. Wait, it’s Mr. Drew, he doesn’t give two flying pigs about the law. I then saw Shi touching the other papers, “HEY! Don’t touch the paper! They are technically sensitive.” I then saw her look up at me without her glasses on, when did Shi take them off and why? Shi is like me without my glasses, a.k.a blind as a bat!

“Oh I ain’t looking at them,” Shi said. “I took my glasses off to make sure I don’t look at any sensitive info.”

“Then how do you know you are sorting them correctly?” I pondered.

“Oh I match the papers with the blue highlighter together and such,” she smiled as she went back to sorting. The corners of my mouth twitched a little into a smile because it helped with my work honestly. She then handed me the first stack, “here you go! I hope this helps.”

“Yeah… it does,” I said, not wanting to show how happy I was to get help. “ Y-you can continue to sort them.”

Shi nodded and kept sorting through the stacks and I was able to start making my notations on each stack. With each stack she gave me, the more stacks I finished. Soon I finally had no more stacks to notate and I stood up from my desk and grabbed some of the stack.

“Now you run along,” I said as I ushered Shi out of my office. “I have a Mr. Drew to yell at.” I saw her nod and run off to the elevator to go back to the Music Department. Now to go interrogate Mr. Drew as to why we have $64,921.98 in his special projects. He can’t keep affording this. I looked at the tax amount we had to pay and how much we had in the bank. “$24,964.32 in taxes and only $61,738.65?! Oh good lord… we’re going to go bankrupt.”

Ink Demonth 25 - Offering

One of the things I like to do when working on my AU is apply and sprinkle ideas for this sundae.
