An au where the escape pod managed to launch before atom broke it ||- || short story wrote in the middle of the night
Spoiler/ idea : The whole story would be Mc being forced finto constantly move as destruction follow everywhere they go,inducted by the alien specie they made error to save now years ago.
Tw: first time I make something like this (or at least post it lol) English is still not my first language so sorry for if any errors are present! Just got so much inspiration suddently I had to write it.
Contain element of horror/tension.
[Short novel like bit after the cut (every text like this is bassically a word that refers to atom).]
Everytime,everytime you settle somewhere, for a few days the hope appear again in your hearth. Maybe that's it? You are finally free? Free to live the life that never should have been so hard to reach..?
Free?
What a joke.
But you can't get free of it. You can't escape it's love. It's gratitude. Its still following,tracking,chasing it never stopped : You know it ; As long as it won't have you, it won't ever do.
Everytime,everytime you settle somewhere for long enough, too long, you can feel the feeling come back. That creeping,crawling feeling that never truly leaves.
You never put a name on it, you tried but only a sentence could truly fit, a sentence that was enough to make your blood run cold.
It's near, and it's getting closer by the second.
You managed to escape it's grasp everytime until now. But everytime, you're a little more short timed, a little less prepared..a little less determined to escape once again. You leave everything you built behind,but not with a goodbye and a hope of seeing it again. You leave,you live: knowing that everything you left behind will dissapear, will be absorbed by it. Dissapear into the system of something you will never be able to understand.
Unlike you, it was getting stronger day by day, absorbing uncountable number of complex organisms,entire ecosystems.
Unlike it, You were slowly losing the flame that allowed you to get in that escape pod so fast that day. Is walking freely in the universe worth it if the trail you leave behind sprout death and destruction? You asked that yourself many time in your preserved loneliness.
The rare people that tried to follow you always dissapeared not much time before the feeling came back. Soon enough you understood that it wanted you to be Alone. Like a predator stopping it's pray from going back to the group, you could'nt even have that.
You once thought it was human, sometimes you think you remember calling it by a name..an almost normal name. you could never be more wrong. The only thing humans it has must be the thousands of corpses reduced to nothing that are now a part of it. Corpses that was once friends and more.
Something else you thought,once,was that it was only a question of tactics. A sort of mind game where you would have to be more intelligent than it. Trick it into loosing your trace.
Its not.
It never was.
Its a question of time.
Not until you finally loose them,
no,
until it finally win you.
Until the chills finally gro trough your entire body as the tent you managed to make in 2 days shake slowly.
Until you panick as you realized that you planned everything wrong, that this time it was truly too late. Or it was truly too early.
Until you realize that maybe time was never truly the question.
Until you understand that it was just playing a game,letting you run off like an owner letting his dog run off a little too far in a supervised park.
Finally, Until its creeping voice sings a name that was never yours.
"Luna...? It's time to go home now.."
How could you have ever thought that voice was human?
So....when is atom's birthday?i was thinking about this a bit cuz i was making art for a few other characters from other games for their birthdays!but it had hame to me that i didn't actually know when their's was :( if this was already asked,just skip it :P
Actually,,, I'm surprised nobody's asked as well now that I think about it! I think it's sweet that you asked bc you've been drawing birthday gifts!! :-D
I went back to see when I first started drafting Atom's character design and it was October 15th, while I started on the in-game sprites on October 22nd:
Although!!! I think it'd be fun to shift its official birthday a day early because!!! October 21st is Worms Day! 🥳🪱
So to answer your question; Atom's birthday is 21st October ! 🎂
By the way, here’s a reminder to 🎉 Click for Palestine!
I drew a little comic ! Yay! I was too lazy to deal with backgrounds, so I pretended to be doing it by framing the scenes in tree colors.
Anyway, for those interested, the type of bird that appears in the comic is a woodpecker. It's a very cute bird. It's introverted and reserved, and it's also quiet and territorial. Does that remind you of anyone? But I've also heard that when a male tries to get close to a female, he follows her among the trees, makes soft calls, offers food, or shows her nesting places in tree cavities. Once they mate, they become a quiet team that might forage near each other, defend their territory together, and raise their young cooperatively. They live a peaceful life in the forest. It was fun using it to expose Michael's ideas, hehehe. Anyway, I hope you like it.
Now that you mentiont it… How inhales Alma would feel like???
It’s like… inhaling mist?? Is it cold? Hot? Does it have any kind of smell?
,,,alright, fine. Since I described how Atom and Mychael taste, let's indulge! 🍽️
As mentioned in-game, they're kinda chilly! ❄️So the sensation will probably be similar to a menthol cigarette/vape, with a hint of cinnamon or saffron. The kind of flavor that gets stuck in your throat if you inhale it wrong.
Here's a chart for you freaks //aff:
By the way, here’s a reminder to 🎉 Click for Palestine!
Inhaling them in this form would taste like ash and bile. Would definitely choke you on the spot, if they weren't already doing that.
