Ink gigged as he secured the replacement, his escaped toy Blue thought he could hide something so interesting.

"So pretty, almost perfect," he said griping the conscious Mana's face, they were almost identical except for a few factors. He could work with this, a brand new toy and get come of the toys to come to him.

He slapped the others face, a gasp escaped his doppelganger from the rude way of wakening. Confused white eye lights looked up at him, Ink made a disgusted face at how boring the other Ink was.

"Well hello there, I think they called you Mana," Ink giggled.

"Mana," the Ink replied.

"That's what I said," the soulless being told him, he snapped his finger in front of Mana's face who looked confused. He tilted his head, making a warbling sound in his throat.

"Oh, your stupid and don't understand. Can't talk I see. Can't have that," Ink frowned, "can't make you scream if you don't know why you should scream"

Swearing Ink left the room slamming the door behind him.

Mana was scared.

He was in in a strange place, Blue and everyone he was used to was nowhere in sight.

Then there was the scary person, who looked almost like him.

They'd placed Mana in this strange room, and put some metal thing on his leg. Mana could not go ink form, it was scary here. Bad person had hurt them, they didn't understand what bad person wanted.

Mana whimpered, he wanted to go home.

He made a high pitched whine, Blue always came when he heard it known Mana was scared or stuck somewhere.

He jumped as the door slammed open, the bad person coming back a big book in his hands. Mana didn't know how to read, Blue was still teaching him to talk. Before all the smokey stuff, he'd actually slept in his bed!

Blue had been so proud!

"Says might cause damage to the mind, but who cares. If it fails you'll just be a bait for the others toys," Ink said holding up the book and reading it, before nodding and putting it away into item space.

Mana had a bad feeling and tried to move away, but the metal thing kept them in spot.

"This will hurt, please scream!" Ink purred grabbing the sides of Mana's skull.

Then there was pain.
