((Hello!! Mind giving this blog a promo? I am a brand new BATIM ask blog that is a crossover AU of Story For A Dead Princess and Bendy And The Ink Machine. Most asks will be hand drawn, and if lucky enough, digitally drawn!! Please promo, as I am fairly new!))
((Credit to my lover, @draconicglitch, for helping me out by setting up the desktop version of the blog!))
The Repairman nodded in return. “Yeah, I’m glad to see someone else here…”
He grimaced as she explained.
“Oh, that’s why it didn’t look right?” he groaned. “I thought this was just gonna be another lonely job, but now I gotta avoid those things?”
Peeking outside the room, he sighed.
“Well, monsters or not, I gotta fix the Wall.”
He peered to the right, where he knew the crack in the Fourth Wall was. For the moment, he wasn’t really paying attention to his surroundings…
“…Anything else I should know about…?”
“Well this place is basically one big death trap. The searchers that come from the ink, the rotting floor boards , busted pipes, and i’m the only resident here that wouldn’t kill you on sight.” Alice says with a sigh
She’d ask her questions in a second but if the Repairman is sticking around for a while it’s best to tell him about the dangers of the studio. Alice is tired of watching good people die or get hurt and not being able to stop it. This time she’s going to make sure this doesn’t end with more death in the studio.
“We should avoid the music department floor, there’s a man down there who isn’t very sane. We also have to make sure we don’t somehow let Bendyknow you’re here. He’s a toon but he has a lot of good and bad days, mostly bad ones, and he hates strangers in his studio.”
“…I see…”
Thankfully, the siren light wasn’t trying to direct him DOWNWARDS, so he assumed the break was still on this floor…
Rotting floorboards, “searchers”, and bursting pipes, eh…?
“Don’t worry; I’ll be caref–”
And then the wall to his left burst. The inkblot was launched to the other side of the wall as a practical geyser of demon ink submerged him.
“AUGHblblbllbllblb”
As the pressure finally subsided, the Repairman tried to surface, but was finding it difficult to do so. He splashed and resisted, but hands came from the other ink to try and keep him under.
“No fair!” he cried, before sticking a snorkel where his mouth would be. If this place cheats, so can he.
[[Hey, could you guys send love, advice, or whatever positivity to @orionsvoid ? They’re a friend of mine, and I just now learned just how depressed they were (and for how long), and I know they deserve more than that. I don’t want them to do anything to themselves, but it’s sounding like a possibility. So please, just send them your support!]]

Tumblr mobile users: okay so the post button is barely accessible because it’s not always viewable unless you stop scrolling, the tag system is completely broken, you have to scroll for 30 minutes through the “popular” sorting of a tag to get to stuff that is actually popular, porn bots are running rampant, LGBT+ friendly blogs are being marked NSFW, images fail to load 99% of the time, there is a huge discrepancy between the site’s functionality on the desktop and on mobile, sometimes you can browse a blog’s tags and sometimes you can’t even if they tag things regularly, the tag search system searches for posts containing the word instead of being tagged with the word, you still can’t add images to text posts which is an important part of making fresh memes, your error messages are incredibly uninformative in a failed attempt to sound cool, and the mobile app experience is overall frustrating at best and unusable at worst
Tumblr staff: worry not
Tumblr staff: the browsing tabs are now on the bottom
“I’m sorry, Bowyetta. I don’t think I can watch much TV anymore. It’s too stressful!”
[[A long-overdue ask, but here it is, @bonkakira-and-friends! I hope the pencil artwork is ok…]]
“Not that I know of.” Penny said. She looked back in the direction of
the light. “But for some reason, I don’t think whoever’s here is up to
any good.”
She paused for a moment, then decided what to do.
“I’m going to investigate.” she stated. “You have two choices. Stay right there or follow me.”
“…Well, then,” the Repairman replied, looking uncertainly at the light. Granted, he had a job to do, and she was apparently a plucky girl genius, but then, the job could wait, and neither one of them had any idea what was over there.
“…Let’s see what it is…”
Quickly, he tucked his tool cart into his hammerspace. He would have tiptoed towards the light, but seeing how he lacked legs, it looked more like he was shuffling and stopping to a cartoonishly sneaky rhythm.
“Okay, here goes nothing.” Penny gulped, tiptoeing towards the light source.
She sneakily peeked her body in the doorway and from the corner of her eye saw…
“Mike?!”
The karaoke robot turned to face Penny. His eyes flashed a bright red.
“Hey! What are you doing here?” He asked.
“I was going to ask you the same thing! Aren’t you supposed to be helping grandpa with his new project?” Penny shouted.
“What does that matter? You shouldn’t be here at this time! You’re fourteen!”
“You’re younger than me!”
Penny and Mike stared at each other.
“I’ll… keep this a secret if you will.” Mike said sheepishly.
“Okay, but what were you doing?” Penny questioned, looking very irritated.
“I was downloading Melody’s background music.” Mike confessed.
“–!” the Repairman exclaimed, spotting a tall, red-eyed robot. How much security did a game company NEED?! Or was this some kind of front, or…?
Wait, why was Penny bickering with him like he was a relative…? Oh, “grandpa”? That explains that…
He wasn’t sure if he was seen yet. This Mike character seemed more interested in Penny staying up late than a small, inky intruder.
He cleared his throat.
“…A-actually,” he began, “She was just making sure I didn’t do anything…Sorry ‘bout all this…”
The Repairman, meanwhile, was about to get moving again, so he tossed
the key ring back into his toolbox and shut it, humming to himself.
Little did he know that he had not only trapped the Denpa-Men, but also
possibly threw a pile of metal at them.
Cat Slime glared at the blue Denpa. She had to trip and ruin his pie? He was too busy being offended by that to notice what she was screaming.
He gently picked her up with his mouth, and unceremoniously dropped
her onto the pile just outside the pie. His attention turned back to the
rest of the Denpa-Men, making sure they weren’t going after his treat
again.
However, this only seemed to make the blue Denpa panic even more. “H-Help! It’s trying to kidnap me!”
The other Denpa-Men, however, were dealing with some trouble of their own. Suddenly, some sort of large metal object was dropped in front of them, very nearly landing ON them. To make matters worse, the lid of the box suddenly closed on them, just as they were preparing to escape.
“We’re trapped now!” The white Denpa suddenly panicked. “And that thing’s gonna eat Susumu!”
While the other Denpa-Men tried to open the lid again, the pink Denpa was on her way to help Susumu. “Hang on, I’m coming for you!” Her antenna started to glow, and… She fired a healing beam directly at the blobby creature.
Cat Slime tried to dodge, but alas, he was caught in the beam. Suddenly, a sense of warmth and bliss came over him. He hummed contentedly to himself. Maybe these bug things weren’t so bad…
When the Repairman’s cart started moving again, Cat Slime was snapped out of the healing effects. His body jostled, and several items slid to the right wall, with varying speeds.
He flicked his ears in what looked like an “oh well” gesture, and began to eat some of the pie. Finally!
