The Void is the main location in Blank Slates. There are two major locations in this village before Shadow Mari's attack: the Discussion Grounds and more recently, the Shadow Hole. The only way to access the void is to be cut from a game or go unused in a game, however, you can also enter the void by being stabbed with the Droogle Leader's Sword.
Appearance
Before Shadow Mari's attack, the void was a flat, open expanse with a white ground and a fuzzy sky. After the attack however, various buildings and landmarks took form across the void.
Story
The Void is initially a quiet and docile place, with only a few minor disturbances. The devs originally created it as a place to store all the Unused & Removed Features, but soon gave Willham and Mayo the title of screener, allowing them to sort through the content. After the release of Drawn to Life, and the planning of two versions of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, the screeners asked for help, which was given to them in the form of the Four Guardians. These four Raposa were meant to be temporary helpers that would dissipate into the void after the completion of a new game. The devs also created the Discussion Grounds to help the six beings communicate their ideas easier.
Eventually, Mayo got tired of the monotony of the void and brought Shadow Mari to life. Mayo tasked Shadow Mari with creating a scene during a meeting of the screeners and Guardians, which would allow Shadow Mari to bring life to the void. Mayo collected all the Shadow that was sent to the void after being scrubbed in the first game[1] and created the Shadow Hole for Shadow Mari to use as a base of operations.
During the development of Drawn to Life: Two Realms, Mayo's plan came to fruition, and Shadow Mari brought life to the void, summoning cut locations, characters, enemies, and bosses. In this process, she killed Willham, but due to the nature of a screener, he was brought back to life moments later and began to go on a rampage throughout the void, deleting the Wii and Next Chapter Villages, along with multiple notible characters.
Eventually, a war broke out at the Shadow Hole, with Shadow Mari leading one army and the Four Guardians leading another. However, after Drakon and the Droogle Killer jump into the Shadow Hole, Shadow Mari calls off her army and Mayo reveals her true colors to the group. As Mayo has a mental breakdown, Willham pulls Shadow Mari aside and asks for her story. Some time after this, Droogles begin to appear in the void thanks to an attack from Jinxy and the Droogle Killer. Willham and Shadow Mari kill the Droogle Killer, capture the Droogle Leader, and fly into the Shadow Hole, permanently closing it.
Some time after this, Joe makes an announcement, saying that the newly created beings will be allowed to live on in the void, and that Mayo would be deleted. Willham and Shadow Mari return to the void as this announcement is being completed, and Shadow Mari brings back everything that Willham had deleted prior.
