#my personal take on the BUTCHER WALLY AU

[sillyhoneybear23]

BUTCHER WALLY

[clown-shit69]

So i actually wanna talk about my batim swap au a bit more so here are the roles

Wally is our Henry, he's the person walking threw the abandoned place

Henry is our villain, but because he's not a dumb ass like Joey he knows how to control what form he wants but when he's human he has horns & a tail never fully human

Sammy is our 'Susie' he is a bendy that's kinda fucked up but not that bad(like susie) & works with Norman who takes the form of a Boris & Luther who takes the form of the 'perfect bendy' but sammy is real snappy @ Luther

Joey works along Henry, but he does turn on Henry at times without him knowing

Thomas & Alison are random lost ones you find that help you on a random mission

(And my friend said it was ok to add their oc) Wanda is a alice angel (with a few changes of course) that says near the shop

Grant is the musician that praises bendy & Jack is the projectionist

& my new oc & bertie & a few other characters are butcher gang members (some friendly, some not)

You caught my attension with the "Bad end Wizard Wally" Au, what else goes down in there?

A lot of things anon, a lot of things:

-Instead of even so much as humoring the thought of telling Conner, Wally straight up quits and gets a job elsewhere.

-A few years later both Wally and Henry get letters asking them to come to the old studio; one from Joey asking Henry to ‘come visit the old workshop’, the other from Thomas begging Wally to destroy the machine because he can’t do it himself.

-Henry and Wally show up to the inked studio.

-Curiosity leads the pair to activate the ink machine. (Wally thought that Thomas was referring to the other ink machine, not the one suspended by chains.)

-The Ink Demon breaks down the boards and chases them through the studio before the floor breaks beneath them.

-Post-machine activation: the studio fucks with Wally’s magical powers, often having spells backfire on himself. (i.e. if he tries to make something levitate, it automatically flings itself into his face.)

-Due to the fact that Joey found out how to successfully make living cartoons out of people early on, there are no searchers in the studio.

-The Lost ones are still here but they’re much rarer, they flee from sight whenever you see them, and they aren’t made by the machine like canon implied, instead they’re human beings who drank the ink.  

-The two unwilling heroes try to escape via the music department’s flooded stairwell, but they get stopped by Sammy and dragged deeper into ink hell.

-Sammy doesn’t worship the Ink Demon in this AU. In fact, his mind and body are not affected by the ink at all.

-Instead, his mental decline is brought on by his own psychic abilities which he became aware of due to Joey’s meddling. He can’t even think about the past and present anymore, only the future.

-Thus, the man’s new role is not of a desperate madman clinging onto a false savior, but instead a cold and calculating wildcard of an oracle who constantly stalks the two heroes from the shadows and throws wrenches in their escape plans, but also keeps them safe from the wrath of the ink demon whenever he can.

-Boris is still a friend, but he’s a little less chipper and much more on edge than canon.

-Either Wally or Henry can find a tape recorder buried in Boris’s stuff that was made by a gofer who’s talking about the fact that while the living cartoons came out of the machine looking exactly like their animated counterparts, they often try to change how they look, behave coldly and are hostile towards everybody, and are especially hostile towards Joey Drew.

-“The Cameraman is probably the worst out of all of them, it’s almost like he’s trying to make everybody quit their jobs!”

-You know how dogs sigh like they had the roughest time in the world? The only noise Boris makes is that sigh and he only makes it when that tape recording is played.

-Who attacks our heroes if searchers aren’t in the enemy roster? Simple: a hoard of deformed toons.

-We’ve got our classic Butchered gang members, Sliced-Split-n-Stitched Back up SSSB members, and Woolly troubled trios.

-But these appear in the music dep, Bendyland, the village, and the administration offices. Instead of being regular deformed, the enemies in the Heavenly toys department have seemingly been forcefully fused together.

-This makes them slower and weaker, but they also have three times as much health now.

-Susie is referred to as “Twisted Alice” in the studio. This is because she doesn’t look like a more human-proportioned Alice Angel with a deformed face, but instead a mashup of Alice Angel and Miss Twisted.

-Looks like misery loves company.

-Instead of seeking ‘perfection’ Twisted Alice sends Wally and Henry to do tasks for her because she’s trying to make herself be one or the other, she doesn’t care which one she’ll end up as anymore but trying to be two (technically three) different people at once is really messing with her.

-The tasks she gives are still the same, instead of the swollen searcher task, that’s instead replaced with “Gather thick ink from the flooded level”.

-You know how the Projectionist is already scary?

-Imagine him with the ability to raise the dead.

-Like, Henry and Wally are in level 14 gathering severed hearts...

-And then an ear-splitting scream echoes through the area.

-And.

-Then.

-The.

-Fucking.

-Corpses.

-Of.

-The.

-Dead.

-Toons.

-Start.

-Rising.

-And.

-Attacking.

-Norman’s ‘I sees everythang’ tape is slightly altered to include more corpse puns.

-When all the chores are done, Twisted Alice does keep her word and lets Henry and Wally up.

-When they’re *this* close to seeing daylight again, *BAM!*

-The Elevator drops like a hot coal.

-Was it sabotaged? Was it just old and dangerous? Was this just bad luck? That’s up for interpretation depending on who you believe first.

-Boris is kidnapped by a much more Miss Twisted-looking Twisted Alice while the old men are out.

-Intentional murder to commit dog theft, or Miss Twisted being opportunistic?

-Giant cavern? Lame carnival minigames? Air vent maze? Nah, screw that, instead Bendyland gets some more rides.

-Fight off foes in the ferris wheel!

-Avoid killer bumper cars with running chainsaws attached to them while trying to get the haunted house’s power back on!

-Can’t forget Bertrum! In the fight, if he puts down all four of his arms and pushes down hard enough, he can actually walk around the room.

-Kinda like a giant mechanical spider with only four legs.

-This makes it harder to hit his weak points and makes it easy for him to fucking stampede over “Joey”, which is why he does it. But it takes a lot out of him, so he can’t do it for very long.

-And he can’t do it anymore if two or more of his arms are ripped off.

-The Projectionist’s section is the same but with more toon corpses around.

-And if you didn’t get caught in his light or touch the hearts, when Wally and Henry pile into the miracle station and The Projectionist is *just* about to open the door until getting interrupted, instead of screaming at the ink demon and getting into a fight, the Projectionist opens the door and fucking squeezes himself in there.

-Not very comfortable, but better than the alternative.

-Congrats to Henry and Wally, who graduated from ‘trespassing thieves’ to ‘weird but sorta okay flesh things who didn’t take my hearts again and let me in their safe territory in spite of me trying to kill them’.

-Boris actually can be saved.

-Did you give the dog a bone back at the safe house?

-Good, now give him three more.

-The Janitor and the Animator have no fucking clue why throwing bones at this deformed, beefed-up version of Boris managed to melt off the excess ink and junk, or why he can speak now, but they’re not going to look a gift wolf in the mouth.

-Did somebody say back-to-back boss battle?

-I did!

-Sadly, it’s kind of a short fight as it can range from ‘three on one and one of them is a fucking wizard (just because recoil is hell doesn’t mean it’ll stop Wally in dire situations)’ to ‘four on one and one of those four can bring back the dead by screaming’.

-Allison and Tom wrangle the team up and stick ‘em in the “guest room”.

-Tom chews Wally out for re-activating the ink machine, Wally can’t take him seriously when he’s that fucking small and sounds like a mechanical snob.

-It’s even funnier when the Projectionist has been befriended.

-Let him have his tiny camera-headed son back, Allison.

-The river boat chase is longer and there seems to be more than just one hand coming out of the ink.

-Wally swears he sees a bunch of teeth in the river while the hands are down.

-In the village, the group are immediately attacked by a swarm of deformed toons when they approach the boarded up hovel.

-They shout things like “STAY AWAY FROM THE PROPHET!” and stuff like that in their garbled voices.

-When all of them are gone, peering through the boards in the hovel the team approached in the first place reveals that Sammy is indeed in there, just staring off into space and muttering about something the team can’t quite make out.

-Breaking down the said boards might seem logical, but it triggers a brutal boss fight against him. That musical bastard is fast and hits like a freight train. Also psychic powers, you have to be the luckiest person in the world to win a fight against a man who sees your every move before you can even think of it.

-Just... leave him be... and focus on getting outta here.

-The administration maze is as annoying as ever thanks to not having any weapons and the maze itself being magically disabling.

-Beast Bendy gets some bigger legs to go with his giant torso and head.

-Now he’s even faster and more annoying!

-but can’t do shit against the team.

-Good Ending: getting the biggest team you can in game, breaking the machine and punching Joey in the face for doing ...that. It sucks that everything got this bad but at least you helped the others make it outta there.

-Neutral ending: “Come by the old workshop, there’s something I need to show you”

-Bad Ending of the ‘Bad end Wizard Wally Au’  (Worst possible ending): Henry and Wally have fully succumbed to the ink through a path of violence, evading death by the toons, and have fully lost themselves, they do not remember their lives and families before the ink anymore. And Joey couldn’t be more tickled pink! It’s a shame that making perfect demon toons is such a complicated process compared to making an object-headed toon, a ‘human’ toon, or an animalistic toon, but all the trouble was worth it as a trip through the machine later, Joey finally has the last two he needs: A Perfect Papa Pluto and a Perfect Bendy.

This is in the middle of an AU for Bendy I have in mind, but I might never get to this part and I just really wanna write this so there.

Summary

Sammy wandered into the music department, the old place he’d haunted for nearly 30 years. If Henry wouldn’t let him go outside yet he might as well go see if the place had collapsed. It hadn’t. Somehow either option would’ve made him grouchier.

He went up to the projectionist booth, flipped the switch, and started running down to play the right notes. He’d have to change that music combination since Henry knew it. Just because he was the reason Sammy was sane again, didn’t mean he’d want that-that…. Ugh. He’d figure out what to call Henry later. Right now he was too tired to think, and just wanted to go into his sanctuary.

Once that old door banged open Sammy strolled in to see the damage. Nothing much had changed. Thank goodness. But some bacon soup cans were missing. He’d have to restock if he wanted to hide in here for as long as he used to. Though Henry would probably pull him out if he tried to. The idiot. A week wasn’t that bad if you had everything you needed.

Sammy sat down at his desk, and put his head in his hands. The events of yesterday flooding back now that he had some quiet. Why did he and Susie end up doing that? Sure it was nice to just record some audio like old times, but why had she hidden that voice recorder in there too. Augh. He was such an idiot.

He still didn’t know why she’d wanted to sing that song either. She could’ve just played Alice like she always used to do. Though spending so long as a twisted version of Alice butchering other characters would put a bad taste in your mouth for that. But why hadn’t she picked one of the old songs from the cartoons? Instead, You Are My Sunshine!? Anything but that sappy slop. He sighed leaning back in his chair, remembering the sound of her voice as he played the banjo in accompaniment. Such a sweet melody. He’d been glad when she liked his twist to the old tune. Put a little bit of personality into it. It definitely needed it.

After the song was over, she’d pulled that recorder out of nowhere, and flipped it off. Why had he just sat there instead of grabbing it while it was in his reach? Another sigh. Then she’d played it back. At least it had sounded ok. Would’ve been better if he could’ve spent time actually fixing his part instead of messing around. He hated unfinished work. What had really surprised him was to hear his own voice mixing with hers. When had he started singing? Good gosh why had he done that. If that tape got out Wally really wouldn’t let go of that whole ‘magic’ thing now. And if others found it? Sammy might as well go back into that puddle forever.

She said he’d sang beautifully. It was nothing compared to her voice but at least it was some backup. He did wonder why she brought up his old tip of putting yourself in the song. Why had she said he’d done that perfectly? That woman was a mystery. Then why could he not stop thinking about it and just let it go? He should be mad that she has blackmail on him now. But he really just wanted to keep working on it, so he could see her eyes light up when the song came together.

What was going through his head?! There’d never been this much noise when he was by himself! It was so distracting! Maybe she’d been right about asking if he had something to tell her….

No, they were just business associates! Coworkers! Yeah, they might be chummier than any of the other people working there could ever get with him, but that didn’t mean anything. Just work associates, keep it all business. Just like old times. The old times when he’d tell her to sing it one or three more times even after a good take. That was just to make sure they had enough good takes to work with. The old times when he would use a bit more cello in because she always loved it. The old times when he’d watch her sway in the booth and not try to stop her, even if it’d ruin the take. What was the matter with him… he had it bad didn’t he. No crushing it down this time he supposed.

Maybe he should tell her? Oh goodness no. He couldn’t do that. He didn’t even know why she still was friendly to him. He’d been the one to tell her about Pendle. Why didn’t she hate him?! It would make everything easier. Then he wouldn’t have to tell her…. But maybe he didn’t? He’d written dozens of songs for a cartoon, and sure Jack Fain did the lyrics, but he’d been doing that long before they hired Fain. He could do it that way… at least get it out of his system. Yeah… that could work.

Maybe he could write something that wasn’t as jumbled as the race of thoughts in his head.

Henry worked himself to death and still refuses to retire, manifesting at night to help finish animating scenes. - Demon AU: Joey accidentally allowed a demon to take his body. Joey’s soul got banished to a pocket dimension for 1,000 years. Studio falls and the demon in Joey’s body rules over all.  - Another Angel AU: Henry snaps and basically becomes another Alice, however he dwells very deep down in the Studio and has recruited the Butcher Gang with false promises. The Butcher Gang has been partially reconstructed to be more like their cartoon forms. Henry will spare Boris, but Henry strives to one day reach the surface and see Linda again.

Miscellaneous AU’s - Creature AU: All of the characters are strange animal creatures. Not much lore, just one that I enjoy drawing. - Mermaid AU: Another one that I just enjoy drawing. - Family AU: Beasty is a mother figure to the rest of the Bendy’s. Just an AU to draw and mess around with.

Mafia AU (Part 2.2)

(Ugh!! Finals had me distracted, folks, so apologies for that. I STILL haven’t finished Part 2, but at least I finally got this section finished. WHY WAS THIS SO HARD TO WRITE? I don’t know, I hope it’s good. If you’re a writer, I think you can understand the frustration I’m feeling.)

(Warnings: Guns, blackmail)

(If you need to catch up: Part 1 and Part 2.1)

The pale moon was just enough to light Sammy’s way without rendering him completely visible. He flipped the collar of his coat up to keep out the chilly night wind, while checking to make sure no one had spotted him. He’d had to slip through a window on the lower floor in order to make it past Shawn and Thomas (who were on guard duty) unseen. The musician’s gaze flitted up to the upper floor of the headquarters, to see several lights on in the bedrooms; it looked like no one was getting any sleep tonight.

Sammy had spent most of that day helping tidy up the parlor and board up the windows. After that, he’d been on guard duty for two hours alongside Wally, who was prone to talking, and talking a lot. The musician had wondered if he could blame someone else in Joey’s gang if he shot the prattling idiot, but figured he shouldn’t chance it.

True to his word, Henry had tried to keep an ink shield around those on guard duty, which could be seen as a faint dark shimmer in the air around them. Every now and again the shimmer winked out, so Henry could take a breather. Joey didn’t attack again, though, as Sammy had expected. He’d probably wait to hear Sammy’s report before doing anything further.

It was about 11 in the evening right now, so Sammy didn’t find it likely he’d be spotted by passers-by. Many people would be at the speakeasy, though, and Sammy took a detour that set himself at a distance from it.

Sammy always liked to vary the path he took to Joey’s headquarters, so no random citizen would notice him walking by the same way all the time. This time he went on a long, looping walk around the speakeasy and down a side street that would take him directly to headquarters. He hadn’t taken this route in a long while.

The streets were quiet as Sammy progressed onward, the only sound being his own breathing and footsteps mixed with cars in the distance. This made it easier to hear the whisper emanating from around the corner ahead of him.

Sammy stopped in his tracks and instinctually moved to hide behind some trash cans, careful not to make any noise. The voice of the whisperer sounded familiar, and Sammy’s ears strained to hear what was being said.

“I had to protect you, Winona.” Norman?

A female voice spoke, Winona’s voice, “But now Bendy suspects you, and if he tells Joey-”

“I explained things to Bendy. He thinks I just accidentally bumped him with my gun.”

Sammy’s mind flashed back to this morning, remembering how the bullets had somehow completely missed everyone, with no explanation.

“You, a trained gunman, accidentally bumped him with your gun?” Winona repeated, “He’s not going to believe that.”

“What was I supposed to do?” Sammy had never heard Norman sound so agitated, “Let him shoot you? There were no other options.”

There was silence for a while, during which Sammy held his breath, afraid to make the slightest sound. At last, Winona spoke, her voice gentle.

“I know. We’ll just have to be more careful from now on.”

There came a long sigh, then, “I love you, Winona.”

“I love you, too, Norman.”

Sammy could not believe what he was hearing. Not only was Norman betraying his own side, but he had actually said, “I love you.” Both realities were equally astounding.

“I’d better go before I’m missed.”

“Yeah,” Norman sounded reluctant.

“I’ll see you soon.”

“Yeah.”

“Don’t forget what I said.”

“I won’t.”

Another moment of silence, then Winona was walking down the alley Sammy was hiding in. Sammy crouched lower, hoping he was in enough shadow that his bright blonde hair wouldn’t betray him. Winona walked past, her gaze lowered, brow furrowed. Sammy watched as she reached the end of the alley and looked up and down the street, stepping cautiously out. She was probably just as wary of being spotted as Sammy was.

Once Winona was out of view, Sammy turned his attention back to Norman, who had watched her leave. The musician couldn’t read Norman’s expression from here, but from the way his fists clenched and from his stiff posture, Sammy could guess he wasn’t smiling.

The astonishment Sammy felt at what he’d seen was slowly being replaced with something else, and a grin spread over his face.

A sigh escaped Norman, and the gangster turned back toward Joey’s headquarters. Rising to his feet, Sammy silently followed, quietly taking his pistol out from his coat pocket. When they’d reached the backstreet leading to Joey’s house, the musician paused and cleared his throat, raising the weapon.

In the blink of an eye, Norman had whipped out his own pistol and was aiming it square at Sammy’s face. He faltered, however, when he saw who it was.

Sammy felt his grin widen, “Hey, Norman! Fancy meeting you here on this fine, romantic evening.”

Norman’s jaw clenched. Still with his gun leveled, he moved closer to his fellow gangster, his dark brown eyes appearing even darker in the dim light and with his cold expression.

“What do you want, Sammy?”

“Just to talk. You’ve been doing a fair bit of that.”

Norman’s glare was like ice, “What do you know?”

Just like Norman to immediately get down to business, “I know that you’ve been talking with a girl from our enemy’s side, Winona Franks to be precise.” When Norman remained silent, Sammy continued, “I know that the two of you seem to have an… intimate relationship. Do you meet up with her often?”

Norman looked close to shooting Sammy, but Sammy knew he probably wouldn't. Probably. “I know that you’re the reason why she and Lacie and Jack aren’t dead. Lucky break, having Winona on guard duty.” He paused, “Have you told her about me?”

Norman’s grip on his pistol was so tight his hands began to shake, “I haven’t told her anything.” he growled.

“You sure?” Sammy looked Norman dead in the eye. It was imperative that Sammy’s identity as a spy not be disclosed until the proper moment.

“I haven’t told her anything.” Norman repeated, saying every word slowly and deliberately.

“Well, then we’ve got nothing to worry about. Except of course for the small matter of your betrayal.”

Norman’s expression didn’t change, “If you tell Joey about me, I’ll tell Henry’s side about you.”

“It’s only a matter of time ‘till they find out, Norman.” Sammy waved the threat aside with his free hand, “And besides, do you really think that if I told Joey you’d be able to escape to Henry’s? The Butcher Gang would be on you in two seconds.”

“I’ll find a way.”

“I doubt it.” Sammy said, “The only option would be to kill me, though of course I’d kill you, too.” He glanced meaningfully at his pistol, “And even if I didn’t, Joey would find out. He’s always able to detect when someone’s guilty.”

“He hasn’t detected me yet.”

“True, but I doubt as major a crime as one of his gangsters killing another of his gangsters will slip away unnoticed. Joey will most likely kill you, and what will your precious Winona do then?” Sammy felt his lips twitch in a smirk.

For a split second, Norman looked like he was going to pull the trigger, and the musician felt his finger muscles tense as he prepared to do the same. But this brief resolve dissipated quickly. Sammy continued talking once he was sure Norman wouldn’t make a move, “I might be persuaded into silence, however.”

Norman shifted his grip on his gun, “What do you want?”

“What do you have to offer?”

Norman was silent a moment, “I’ll give you a cut of my pay.”

“How much are we talking?”

“Fifty percent.”

Sammy pretended to think for a few seconds, “Is that all?”

“I can’t give you more.”

“I think you can. The way I see it, you’re betraying Joey, the man who pays you; therefore, the money isn’t yours.”

“It’s not yours either.”

“It doesn’t matter whether or not it’s mine. Pay me or I’ll tell Joey all about your little Romeo and Juliet story.”

Norman didn’t speak for a long while, and Sammy was about to repeat his demand when the other gangster finally said, “Fine.” his voice flat.

Sammy’s grin returned to its full force, “Perfect. Let’s get back to Joey’s, then.” With his pistol, Sammy gestured for Norman to keep walking. Norman slowly turned around, lowering his weapon.

Sammy smiled. He hadn’t had a confrontation like that in a long time; he’d forgotten how fun it was watching the other person squirm. He supposed he’d have to be a bit more wary around Norman from now on, though. Norman was a crafty man, who was probably already plotting some sort of way out of his predicament. Sammy couldn’t think of any way out for him, unless he fled the city. But then he’d be leaving Winona, which, from what little Sammy had seen of them together, was probably not an option he cared for.

It was still baffling to Sammy that Norman, of all people, would fall in love. He was perhaps the least approachable person Sammy had ever met, and yet he was risking his life for some girl. Love has weakened him. Sammy thought to himself, just as his mind brought up the images of Susie and Matt. He tried to banish this unwelcome intrusion into his thoughts, but they refused to leave. Sighing, the musician tried to focus more on the trudging Norman ahead of him. Affection has not made me weak, he told himself, I’m still going to fulfill my duty. Joey’s side was the winning side, for sure. It would be foolish to leave it, not that he wanted to join Henry’s group of imbeciles anyway. No, he was right where he wanted to be. Besides, Norman’s paycheck is more than enough reason to stay, Sammy thought, smiling as he considered what he’d do with the money.

Sheep Faun Henry

Cyborg Geek Girl: I read somewhere that some Satyr's bare a stronger resemblance to sheep than goats, to the point of growing wool instead of regular fur. And now for some reason my brain is picturing Henry as a Sheep Satyr; he's human from the waist up, but sheep from there down, and with Ram horns on his head. He normally wears a charm of some kind to keep people from realizing he's not actually human. He had to leave because of something magic-related (or something). When he came back, he lost his charm at some point in chapter 2, and that's one of the reasons Sammy calls him a "Sheep".

Mom’s Lili Kittyflower: Oooo. Neat.

Cyborg Geek Girl: He wears pants (for modesty) after sheering himself in the spring, but during fall and winter, the wool on him is too thick to allow that. And he has specialized leg warmers he wears during the winter (for the areas that aren't covered in wool) Satyr Henry is very flexible since he has to do all kinds of fancy twisting to sheer himself without cutting himself.

Some Bastardisation of “Mango”: yesss

CGG: Satyr Hen is a floof. I want to talk more about the sheep or see a picture of him.

SBOM: yesss

CGG: Joey didn't know about Henry being a Satyr. He suspected he was magic, but something more grande then a sheep.

SBOM: Ye, lol

CGG: Henry is going through the studio in the fall, which means there's ink soaking into his wool. He's very unhappy about it. He'll have to sheer himself early to get rid of the mats. People are confused by the sheepman making his way through the studio. Alice wants to hug him because he looks so fluffy, but he's drenched in tainted ink. Bendy is confused by the clopping he's hearing instead of footsteps. Boris found Henry a brush to get rid of the worst of the tangles in his hair and wool.

SBOM: Yesss. the butcher clones are fascinated by henry's wool

CGG: Pfft, yes. They want to pet the floof. There are no Satyr toons, so they've never seen anyone like Henry before.

SBOM: i love this. ooo satyr henry meets benry

CGG: He's so tired of the feeling of ink in the gaps of his hooves. That would be interesting.

SBOM: s!hen: i'm guessing you weren't always like that

b!hen: what gave it away?

castor: ANOTHER FLUFFY HENRY

CGG: Henry keeps being startled by them because they keep trying to grab some of his wool or his tail. And it's all on his lower body, so it's very uncomfortable. Especially since they're all butt level against him.

SBOM: when some of the wool gets cut off somehow, the butcher clones all mob on it, trying to look at it

CGG: Henry is very confused by it. Like "It's just some wool?"

SBOM: i feel like toons, in general, are just fascinated by wool aLSO NORMAN he's just like "my life is already weird enough, might as well add this onto the pile"

CGG: I don't follow. What would Norman's reaction be?

SBOM: that's norman's reaction i was just exclaiming because *i forgot my boy*

CGG: That Henry's actually a sheep man? He's just kinda rolling with it?

SBOM: Yeah.

CGG: Henry escapes the ink demon once by accidentally bleating when it startles him. The demon just... Stops. It doesn't know what to do because bleating is not something humans do when scared. Henry takes the chance to run as fast as he can.

SBOM: pfft there's no horror just comedy, confusion, and odd fascination

CGG: Which is just as fun as the Horror. Well, there's still body horror from the toons. And the coffins from the earlier chapters. Henry and Bo still get dropped down an elevator shaft.

SBOM: but it's not pure horror

CGG: That's true. I want to talk more about Satyr Henry. But I’m not sure what to talk about.

MLK: I want to talk more about him too How does he lose the charm?

CGG: I want to say it was some carved beads (or something like that) that he kept one of those leather pouches that you can wear around your neck, and a searcher ripped the pouch, and the beads ended up scattered on the floor. Henry couldn't fix the pouch right then, and even if he could, he hadn't been able to find all the beads.

SBoM: he's just annoyed that he'll have to recraft the charm from scratch again

CGG: Oh yeah. I’ve just decided Satyr Henry has sheepy ears too.

SBOM: yessss4

CGG: [image] I’m not really an SU person, but I love these Satyr designs. I want Hen to have horns like Rose's and a tail like Pearl's.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: Also, I finally found what a proper black sheep looks like. [image]

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: BROWN FUZZY FRIEND

Cyborg Geek Girl: YUS Hen is gonna be that shade of brown.

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: FUZZY FREEEN

Cyborg Geek Girl: Their legs are so skinny.

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: I wanna hug the sheep

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: saaaaame

Trash Mom: SHEEP

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: Fluffy wooly freeeen

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yeeeee

Cyborg Geek Girl: If Bendy is separate from 'Bendy' in this AU (or even if he's healed from that form), He loves trying to play with Henry's long tufted tail.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesssss

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: He's a cat. Bendy is always a cat X3 And honestly same I would too

Cyborg Geek Girl: Boris is fascinated by the Sheepman, and asking all kinds of questions about how magic is supposed to be outside the studio.

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: Joey; So you're just... A sheep? Henry; One, I'm a satyr. Two, WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN

Cyborg Geek Girl: Lol, yes. Joey; Sorry, I just expected something a bit... More… Henry; rolls eyes Oh, like you have room to talk. Imma need to swap things around for Henry, turns out I was confusing Satyrs for Fauns. Satyrs are... different. From now on it's Faun Henry.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: fair nuff

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: Ah okay Snippy is going to love Faun Henry when she hears about him

Cyborg Geek Girl: [image] This is closer to what I picture for Faun Henry. But with fully curves ram horns and wool. (And older o' course) As much as I love the long swooshy tail, I think he's gonna have the cute little nub-tail most sheep have. Henry is so floofy. Joey is so caught off guard by Faun Hen, he just kinda freezes and goes "Wat?" He'd expected Henry to be something a bit grander than a sheepman for him. Like a Vampire, or a Werewolf, or a Wizard or something like that.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: pfft

Lil Lilipad: We gonna talk more about Faun Henry today?

Cyborg Geek Girl: I want to.

Lil Lilipad: Why don't we talk about why he left? You said "magical reasons" right?

Cyborg Geek Girl: “Magical or something" yeah. I want to say it was partially the stress of working at the studio, and Joey starting to stick his nose where it shouldn't be.

Lil Lilipad: I’m kinda wondering what Henry's family is like

Cyborg Geek Girl: Probably distant. He might not terribly close to them.

Lil Lilipad: Joey just starts dropping hints that he thinks Henry is something magical but all his guesses are completely off base so Henry leaves because it's annoying

Cyborg Geek Girl: Lol, yes. And because He's pretty much running the studio and not getting credit for it.

Lil Lilipad: Does he confront Joey about it before leaving?

Cyborg Geek Girl: For the Credit thing? Yes. It gets very bad. Joey walks out with a black eye and Henry's got some bruises too.

Lil Lilipad: Sorry I feel sick can't really talk

Cyborg Geek Girl: That's fine At first, Joey trying to guess what he really was had been amusing, but then it started to get on Henry's nerves.

Lil Lilipad: He never even gets remotely close

Cyborg Geek Girl: The closest he gets is Satyr, but that just visibly offends Henry. People often mistake them, but that's still pretty rude.

Lil Lilipad: “I’m sorry I guessed something that boring" Henry is further offended

Cyborg Geek Girl: (Satyr's are built like humans, but with Horsetails and ears. They were supposed to accompany Dianonsis, the Greek God of Wine, Celebrations and [ahem] "Sexual Activities") (Henry is less offended by the "boring" comment and more by the suggested activities) "My God Joey! Do you really think of me like that?!" Highly offended tone I want Sammy and/or Wally to be suspicious of Faun Henry not being human.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: They find something like some wool, or maybe a chip from one of his horns or hooves. He was helping carry something heavy and it smacked against his head and they found a chip from one of his horns. Henry yelps after having to squeeze his way through a partially blocked doorway, and claims he was just startled by a splinter digging into his hand.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: ouch

Cyborg Geek Girl: They go back and find some wool caught on the wood.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: they start getting suspicious

Cyborg Geek Girl: He didn't hurt his head, because it hit his horns and not his actual head.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: idea: henry makes and sells yarn made from his wool

Cyborg Geek Girl: Only during early summer and late spring

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: he has a little old lady for a neighbor that knows how to knit and she always buys his yarn

Cyborg Geek Girl: He had a few things he makes himself.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yep hen doesn’t knit or crochet he does macrame

Cyborg Geek Girl: He makes cord bracelets.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: Just with leftover yarn.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: he also sells roving wool for needle felters

Lil Lilipad: So his horns are just invisible with the charm? He can still knock into stuff with them? What is macrame?

Cyborg Geek Girl: He doesn't have a lot of yarn. 1/2 of a usual wool bag

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: it's doing yarnwork with your hands

Cyborg Geek Girl: From his self-sheering.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: “I have a very small sheep"

Cyborg Geek Girl: The charm is to basically trick peoples brains into not notice he wasn't actually human.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macram%C3%A9

Cyborg Geek Girl: Pants and shoes are normally considered "Not important" to peoples brains beyond, "That person is wearing them".

Lil Lilipad: He has a pen out back for a sheep and whenever people come over "She's out hiding somewhere" Oh I see

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: in reality, he has a pet goat named Sheep

Lil Lilipad: Thanks THAT IS ADORABLE

Cyborg Geek Girl: He claims it's an old ram that's not very sociable. So people should just leave the old boy alone.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: pfft

Cyborg Geek Girl: He should actually have an old ram. He got it when he was a kid, and stupidly named it Rammy. He argues with him sometimes. Like how Lili argues with her cat.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: Everyone suspects Henry isn't actually a normal human. Joey is just the only one trying to figure out what, exactly, he is. Someone should be a farm kid and knows that Henry's wool haul is more than he should have for only one old ram.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: also, yes, Grant is the farm boy

Cyborg Geek Girl: Sammy finds the wool from Henry, while Wally finds the chip, and it's Grant who identifies them as "possibly sheep".

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yes

Cyborg Geek Girl: Everyone thinks Henry is odd, but no one really points it out.  Except for Joey. Henry does yearly hair-cuts at home, but again, no one questions it. They just think he's trying to save money. Head hair has to be trimmed a bit more often since it grows at a human rate. But Henry still does it at home.

Lil Lilipad: Imagine Henry accidentally bleating when someone scares him

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: Yes, people look at him funny when he does. Also, apparently Sheep/Rams can shed the outer covering of their horns. This is how Henry's horn had chipped but still healed later.

Lil Lilipad: Henry almost never laughs, so a couple people make it a challenge to see who can make him laugh first When they finally succeed, they find out that Henry has a really weird sounding laugh

Cyborg Geek Girl: Wally: whispers “No wonder he doesn't laugh.”

Lil Lilipad: Wally, Shawn, and probably one other person

Cyborg Geek Girl: Thomas. His curiosity couldn't be contained. (Before the Machine, he was their Heating and Plumbing guy)

Lil Lilipad: He always struck me as someone who has really serious but okay

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: Henry and his nice old lady neighbor [image]

Lil Lilipad: Cuuuute

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: she wears a snuggie 24/7 cause she gets cold easy

Cyborg Geek Girl: Snuggies weren't a thing then, but a good robe/shawl wouldn't be out of place.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: She just wears a robe all day then :P

Cyborg Geek Girl: Lol, I just found out sheep scream like people.

Lil Lilipad: Oh my god X3

BATIM Fanfic: A Different Tune AU - Chapter 1

Back again with another BATIM fic! Here's hoping i'll actually update this one! 

Note: This AU takes place in present day. Everything went down in the 50s at the very latest. So it's roughly 60 years later. All OCS are minor and will never be seen again except the main one. Thought Sammy needed some love and thought it'll be interesting to see his reaction to things like cellphones, MP3s, etc. Maybe Boris will learn about them too. No Henry since he would likely be very old or very dead by this point. But his recordings will probably still be added.

Full Summary:

It’s 2017 and Dani had gone to the studio with three of her friends. Unfortunately while they escaped, she fell through the floor and that was only the beginning.

Now she’s trying to find her way out, fighting ink monsters, and just struggling to stay alive. All the while, praying that she would suddenly get service and call for help since her friends obviously wasn’t going to.The deeper she goes, the more she learns about it’s dark secrets and past. Even befriending the wolf himself and maybe even the corrupted man that tried to kill her.

Dani only has two goals in mind: Save Boris and get the Hell out of the studio. However, things get tougher when Sammy decides he wants to keep his new friend forever and going as far as to hurt her. But at the same time, asking questions about life in 2017 to get her attention off of Boris, whom Alice had kidnapped. Then there was steering clear of the ink demon too. He was still wandering around.

CHARACTERS: Dani (OC), Bendy, Sammy Lawrence, Boris the Wolf, Alice Angel, Butcher Gang, Projectionist, and all the recordings.

RATED: T For swearing and anything else I’ll likely add as a warning in the beginning of the chapter (Though I doubt it’ll be anything more than that tbh) 

WARNINGS: None. 

Enjoy!

A Different Tune AU

Chapter 1 -

Dani stepped out of the impala with three others. They had heard about an old, abandoned studio that was said to be cursed or haunted. Of course, being the dumb young adults and college kids that they were, they decided to check it out. And when is better than Halloween?

"Shit." The other female in the group cursed.

"What?" James asked, turning towards her.

"There's no service here! And I doubt this place has wifi!" Bella whined.

"Of course it wouldn't." Dani rolled her eyes. "It's an old building that's been abandoned for like 50 years or something."

"Are we even sure that it's safe?" Bella asked.

"Doubt it but it'll make things all the more fun!" Dani giggled, heading up the stairs and to the door.

"We'll just go in, check the place out, then leave." Mark said, trying the door and being genuinely surprised that it was unlocked.

"Huh. Thought we would've had to break in." James laughed. "Well, our lives just got easier."

"This is so creepy…" Bella muttered as they walked down the short hall, looking at the posters and the projector pointed towards the wall. "And why is that thing on? Are you sure we're alone?"

"Who else would be here?" James asked, a bit unsure himself. "Though it is odd that the place seems to have power. I honestly thought we'd have to use our phones."

"Good question." Dani said, "Let's hope we don't meet them. And hey, at least our phones' battery is safe." She then turned off the projector.

"Nothing down this way." Mark said coming from the left. "Just a old desk and some stairs but it doesn't look like there's much up there."

"Then let's go down there." Dani said, pointing to the other hall.

"You first." Bella said, motioning her to go forward.

Dani looked down that way, back to Bella, then back to the hall before shrugging. Trying to keep her cool and not further freak her friend out by being freaked out herself. Though she'd being lying if she said she wasn't very scared.

DREAMS COME TRUE

"W-What is that?" Bella asked, pointing to the wall.

Slowly, Dani walked up to it and put her finger on one of the letters.

"Looks to be some old fashioned ink." She replied. "It's not wet though."

"So it's been here for a while." James added.

"That's a relief." Mark said and already headed down the dark hallway.

As they walked down the hall, they looked up and saw the Ink Machine sign. Curious, they stepped into the room.

"Looks like it needs to be turned on somehow." Mark said, walking up to it.

"Please tell me we aren't going to…" Bella trailed off and Dani gave her a small nod. "What- WHY!?"

"Why not?" She shrugged, heading down the other hallway. "Geez this place is big."

"Why don't we, and I know this might be stupid, but split up? We'll get out of here a lot faster." James suggested.

"Fine." Mark said. "Dani and I will go to the right and you two to the left."

"Deal." James nodded and headed down that right with Bella.

"So… are we going to turn it on?" Dani asked once they were out of earshot.

"Sure. I'm really interested in seeing how it works." Mark said, looking at the cardboard cut out as they walked passed it.

"Oh…my…." Dani couldn't get the last word out as she looked down towards the left and saw a figure on a operating table of sorts.

Without her permission, her feet led her down towards it, mouth open from pure shock and fear. Strangely, she was also a bit curious. Looking at the closest poster, she could tell that the figure was Boris the Wolf.

"That's…odd…" Mark said, unable to find words to describe the situation in front of them.

"Let's… not bring Bella down here. She'll probably scream so loud that the whole city will hear." Dani said and Mark nodded next to her.

"Poor guy though. Who could've done this? Hell, how is he real?" Mark said, trying to figure out how this is possible.

"I don't think I want to know. Let's just turn on the machine and get the Hell out of here." Dani said, knowing that not even a dead cartoon wolf would get Mark out since he is dead set on turning the machine on.

"Agreed." Mark said, quickly heading down the other direction. "Ah this must be how we do it."

"Looks like we need some items maybe?" Dani said, looking at the pictures in the room behind the pedestals.

Once Mark typed the different objects down in his phone, they decided to hurry back to the other two before they could see Boris.

"Hey. We figured out how to turn on the machine." Dani said, meeting them half way."

"We think we did too. We found a flow machine that probably needs to be turned on and this old recording of some guy named Wally Franks." James said. "He mentioned these pedestals and having to donate a object for it."

"How do you know that's his name?" Mark asked.

"His name was on the back." James replied.

"Ah. Well, we found the pedestals and have a list of objects we need to find for them." Mark continued. "Why don't you guys look for the plushie, a book, and a cogwheel?"

"I think I saw that wench we need down that way." Dani said, pointing behind them. "We'll grab that, something music related, and the inkwell."

"Okay." Bella said, wanting to get out of there soon. Kind of like the Wally guy from the recording.

About 20 minutes later, everything was on it's pedestals and unfortunately Bella did see Boris. And she did scream. James was surprised that she didn't wake up all the possible ghosts in the building with how loud she screamed and cried.

"There now-" Mark was cut off.

"I'll run down and tell them that we need to start the flow. I tried texting them but it didn't go through. No service and all." Dani said.

"Okay. Come back once it's started." Mark nodded as she walked away.

A minute later, Dani was standing outside of the room.

"Let's start this ink flow." Dani said as she stood in the doorway, seeing Bella still scared. "You still freaked out?"

"That cardboard thing moved on our way back down!" Bella said, pointing her direction, making Dani turn to her right. "Seriously, these characters are so creepy! Who could've liked them!?"

"Excluding the dead wolf, I personally think they are adorable. I mean, it's not like Boris was dead and had his insides ripped out in the old cartoons, right? Besides, this place is supposedly haunted." Dani said. "Come on, we'll turn the ink machine on and then leave."

"You guys check it out! I'm waiting outside!" Bella said, pushing past her.

James pressed the button and both jumped back when ink started pouring out and flooded the room. Once he was out, he told Dani he'll wait outside too and so Dani went back to Mark alone.

Mark then pulled the pump once he saw her and the duo headed to the Ink Machine, surprised to see it boarded up.

"It wasn't like that before… and the other two couldn't of done it…" Dani said, staying back as Mark slowly crept forwards.

"That's so-" Mark screamed and fell backwards as a gloved hand reached out and a black and white face smiled with a huge grin at them before sinking back down into the ink.

"Okay! We really need to go!" Dani said, noticing the whole floor was flooding with ink now.

Mark didn't argue as the two turned to run out of the building. Fortunately they remembered how to get out but Mark was a few feet ahead of her and ran out of the door, accidentally shutting it behind him.

As Dani ran down the short hall, sliding in ink as she did, she was just a few feet from the door before she realized she didn't feel anything below her feet anymore.

"Huh?" Dani then let out a startled yelp as she fell through the floor and down a few levels. "Ow!" She whined once she hit the floor and quickly tried to move so the ink wouldn't completely rain down on her.

Hustling over to a corner, she turned the valve and watched the ink drain. She then looked at herself and cursed, hoping she could get the ink out of her hair.

With her legs still wobbly, she looked up and saw that… thing. Wasn't jumping down after her. Getting her phone out, she tried to tell the others what happened and to get help but all she got was error messages.

"Dammit." She muttered and saw a tape recording. "Hm?"

Slowly, she walked over to it, trying to calm herself down. Picking it up and turning it over, she saw the name Thomas Conner on the back.

"What do you have to say?" She mumbled before pressing play.

"It's dark and it's cold and it's stuck in behind every single wall now. In some places, I swear this godforsaken ink is clear up to my knees! Who ever thought that these crummy pipes could hold up under this kind of strain either knows something about pressure I don't, or he's some kind of idiot. But the real worst part about all this.. are them noises the system makes. Like a dying dog on its last legs. Make no mistake, this place... this... machine... heck, this whole darn thing... it just isn't natural. You can bet, I won't be doing any more repair jobs for Mister Joey Drew."

"Ha…" Dani laughed sarcastically. "So the ink was causing all sorts of problems back in the day?"

She set the recording down and decided to head through the door since she wasn't going to get back up the way she came.

As she walked down the stairs, she continued to turn the valves in the corners and drain the ink, grimacing from being covered in it.

She walked through the next door and saw the following one was boarded up so we grabbed the nearby ax and started chopping her way through, feeling lucky to have a burst of energy after whatever she encountered upstairs.

By the door on the wall, was another writing in ink.

THE CREATOR LIED TO US

"What the Hell? What did you do, Joey Drew? And what even was that thing? …Bendy? It looked like him… a demented version that is…" She muttered as she walked through the door and down the hall.

She did the same thing and opened the door, surprised to see a pentagram on the floor, candles, and coffins.

"Okay…" She muttered, slowly stepping inside. "What the- urg!"

Dani collapsed to the ground, dropping the ax after getting hit on the head with something. She barely had the strength to get up, whatever energy she had completely disappearing. Slowly, she closed her eyes as everything went black. However, she did feel someone pick her up and set her down not even a foot away.

Meanwhile, Mark yelled for James to start the car as he quickly got in and told him to drive.

"Where's Dani?" James asked.

"Shit! The monster must of got her!" Mark said, "We have to go to the police about this!"

"Monster!?" Bella sobbed.

"What? No! We'd be in a lot of trouble. Plus, do you think they'll believe you about a monster?" James said, "Maybe….maybe she is okay. Let's give her a day to come back."

"…Alright…" Mark huffed, knowing the police wouldn't consider her missing for 24 hours anyway and knew they wouldn't be believed about that monster either. "I just hope she's okay."

Quickly, the three pulled away. Once they had service again, they tried to text and call but unfortunately, she didn't receive anything. Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to respond without getting error messages.

First three or four chapters will kind of be like the game with some stuff possibly added in btw.
