Hudson wiped his red eyes, face a hint red from crying.
Hudson went quiet. Dead quiet.
Gently, he forced himself to drift away from Jack and stand up to walk towards Norman.
Quickly, his training kicked in once more. He removed his tie and shirt, only having his undershirt now.
He grabbed his pocket knife from his belt and began to cut his shirt into strips, the sound of cloth tearing could be heard.
Once done, he folded his knife and carefully took Norman's bleeding arm and began to use the strips of cloth as a bandage. Wrapping and layering over Jack's tie until the blood wouldn't stain through so fast.
He then secured it all with his own tie and a safety pin.
He said nothing, eyes red from crying and face now unreadable.
*you and Sammy were in Sammy's office arguing or some shit idfk*
Stella walked into the room and flicked off the light, drawing y'all's attention. she lingered in the doorway, gripping a knife tightly and partially covered in a substance that looked suspiciously like blood...
"Sammy..." she muttered. she acknowledged Hudson with a nod in his direction before throwing her head back and cackling like a maniac. :]

Hudson stared at in suspicion, already turning away from Sammy, whom he was already so done with.
He raised a brow, his gaze unwavering as he folded his arms against his chest. The dark rings under his eyes and his pale skin proved he wasn't in good health. Though he stubbornly refused to admit it.
"Can I help you or are you just going to giggle like a creepy doll all day?" He asked, his tone unconcerned and tired.
(Stella wtf??)
I gotta ask, Hudson and Jack are both trapped in the cycle, so has Hudson met searcher Jack? If so, how does he regard him?
He probably has!
He still regards Jack as a father figure, but not a protector.
Hudson still cares about Jack and protects him. He shows Jack that he cares by doing small gestures such as opening the elevator, helps him collect things and keeps Jack's space well-lit.
HOWEVER:
Hudson is still very resentful to Jack and feels like Jack could've saved him from Sammy. He's also like: "I TOLD YOU HE WAS TRYING TO KILL ME". Thinking that Jack could've just listened.
Hudson feels betrayed, but is sympathetic to Jack, understanding where Jack is coming from
He refuses to talk to him though. Only offering his silent help and gestures.
"Guess I have to go shopping now...."
Wait you're allergic to eggs? THAT'S SO SAD! D:
What else are you allergic too so I know who to tackle if they get too close-
*holding a notebook and pen* šļøšļø
"Not much, just eggs, Penicillin, dogs, and specifically peanut butter for some reason

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AWESOME MOOT: @flowysgonemad
She said that she was into 60' fashion so I had to do some research!
It looks so bad XD since I'm not quite used to 60's fashion nor haven't properly studied it.
OH WELL. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY AND I'M SO SORRY I'M LATE.
Sometimes I think I can still hear it.
The sound of ink dripping off the walls and vanishing into those dark puddles. The sound of metal cogs grinding against one another. The sound of creaking floorboards.Ā
But I know it isnāt real. Of course it isnāt.
Itās day five now. Five days ago I was tearing up at the floorboards above and now?
I can see the light that shines from outside. I can see peopleās faces. I can see the warmest brown eyes Iāve ever seen. A familiar pretty face.
Oh how I missed that face. Itās nice to be able to see it again, donāt get me wrong.Ā
But sometimes, I swear I can see something creeping up on me in the corner of my eye. Always watching, but never drawing near.Ā
I think itās worth mentioning I read his book.
The Illusion Of Living? That memoir of Joey Drew?
Bullshit, I tell you. But thenā¦..it definitely gives some folks perspective.
The whole philosophy seemed to belong in that inky nightmare, making itself fit right at home there. But now reading it, it just seems ... .oh whatās the wordā¦ridiculous?Ā
Itās ridiculous! Hogwash! But so very real.Ā
Iām real. Well, the sweetheart tells me that anyway.
Itās all still shocking though. All those years trapped in the studioā¦What am I now? 29? Older? Probably? Itās all fuzzy really. Maybe itās not even important.Ā
I got a new fresh start. Sharing a house with Henry and his wife, Linda. Me and the sweetheart are in the second guest room upstairs.
Itās a nice house. Tidy, just how Linda likes it. But it feels soā¦off. By now, Iām used to those filthy machines and gadgets.Ā
Henry is nice enough to let me use the sun room to write my articles. Yep, articles.
I work for the paper now as mostly an editor, but still, itās something. I can work from the house, though Linda thinks it would be a nice idea for me to go outside and get a sense of normalcy.
I respect Linda. Sheās smart, wistful and chipper. A loyal one to Henry too.Ā
But doesnāt she realise that nothing is normal for us anymore?Ā
Going to work in person would just bring me more tension. And from what Iāve been told, Iām full of it. Still, yes, I do sometimes visit the office. Just to please the sweetheart.
But itās not always for me. Those stares. Those whispers. Those tiny cautious questions.Ā
Oh do I wish I could avoid them.Ā
I sort of dress the same now. White collared shirt, black trousers, belt and leather shoes. Most times Iāll swipe Henryās fedora. Classy, but doesnāt scream the nines. But getting dressed up feels weird too now. Taking a shower, feeling the warm water, before stepping out and drying myself? It feels off too. Itās like Iām waiting for the water to just..stain me. Like the ink.
But it doesnāt, of course it doesnāt. Itās just fucking water.Ā
I canāt yell anymore. Sometimes it hurts to talk while other days, it hurts to breathe.Ā
But I canāt complain. I donāt want to worry anyone. I donāt even deserve being..saved.
If Ray and Hudson had escaped the studio and gotten married!
BRO I READ YOUR COMIC SO MUCH BACK THEN DURING COVID AND I STUMBLED UPON IT WHEN SOMEONE WAS DUBBING IT AND I WAS LIKE: DAMN THIS IS GOOD STUFF :O
OMG thank you so much @unnoticedunawarestillhere
Hudson was quiet for a moment, flexing his still very injured hand.
"Got forced to drink ink again," he said quietly, his eyes not looking at Jack. "I swear, he's going to kill me one day."
"I just wish he would leave me alone with his 'lord Bendy' shit. It doesn't make sense and I'm just....."
"...Getting worse....everyday."
"Heh, it's kind of funny in my mind if I didn't vomit ink three times a week now."
āHudson, some guy just informed me you punched a mirror. Iām really gonna need an explanation for that one cause Iām worried, and the studio canāt exactly afford property damage.ā
~@ask-thelyricist
"I will kill Seymour."
"I'm fine. And no, you do not."
"No comment."
@ask-thelyricist
Happy and sane Hudson?!
It's important to remember that this guy wasn't always an asshole, that's all I'm saying XD !!
I think it's pretty brave of you to vent. I can relate to what you're feeling. I don't know if I can tell you that things will be looking up soon, but I can tell you that I hope it will get better soon and I'm here to support <3. I'm really sorry what's happening and again, I'm here for you. *Hugs* I don't know if this helps, but I feel like this a lot too and I just wanted to say..this vent..makes me feel less alone with my problems. Thank you.
Warning for vent, mentions of death/suicide and mentions of running away
Hey guys. Sorry to drop this out of nowhere. I just need to tell someone. To get this off my chest.
I hate where I am right now. I hate school. I hate having people expect something of me. I feel like Iām forgotten. That no one cares. That people just use me or donāt really care about me.
I feel like Iām a ghost in my family. I feel like theyāre so busy that they barely care. I sometimes wish I wasnāt born or that I wasnāt here. I know I could never hurt myself though. I wish that I was anywhere but here. Either past of future.
I feel like no one would care if I left. I feel like I what to runaway but Iām not sure if I want to or if I could. Maybe for just a day as then Iād come back home. Still.
I hate myself sometimes too. How lazy I am and how Iām not good. Sometimes I want to rip my heart out so that I would never be hurt again. I feel like I inly hear bad things anymore. No goodness.
Iām so f#cking tired. SO TIRED. Iām tired of all the arguing, the death thatās happening, the being pushed behind and forgotten. I just want to leave. I hate this. All of this. I want to just be free to be myself but I know that I canāt.
Iām in so much pain. Iām trapped and I donāt know what to do. My therapist doesnāt help me but everyone thinks that therapy is āworking.ā I hate it. So much. Nothing meaningful comes out of it. Iām just tired. I want to be okay for once. But will I ever be?
I hate this. Hate this all. I feel forgotten, pained, and I just⦠I want to leave it all behind and hardly ever look back. I want to be in the future. I want to be okay.
I swear if one more bad thing happens I might just leave. Run away. I donāt care if people come looking for me. Hey, maybe itāll make me noticed for once. Haha⦠ugh. I just want to know Iāll be okay. I want to be okay RIGHT NOW.
Sorry for the vent. But I donāt know why I should be sorry for saying how I feel, due to the fact that everyoneās always telling me to do so. Or whatever. Iāve said what Iāve need to say.
