simon

currently under observation in quarantine

[simon-sm-13]

hi

i dont really know whats going on here but ava set it up for me, said it would be “good for my reintegration” or some shit. cant exactly talk to a lot of people in real life on account of the whole quarantine situation, so i guess it’s worth a shot.

my name is simon. just simon. i guess im technically an ex-con now? did some fucked up exploration stuff on at-5 for the c.o.i. as part of their “conviction realization” program, which ive discovered is actually worse than just being executed, but. well. i guess it was worth it in the end?

doesnt really feel worth it to me, but. i hope it was.

either way, i fucking lived, which feels. really weird, honestly. i didnt think i was going to, and now that i have, it... doesnt feel right. maybe because of the shit it did to my body.

surprise, typing with one arm isnt that easy.

so now im stuck in my own little quarantine bubble in medical, which is basically the same as it was in the ship except white instead of red and i have a bed this time. which i guess is an improvement. the only people i get to talk to are the doctors and ava, so they set me up with this to keep me from losing my mind again.

this is bullshit and im bored out of my fucking skull.

[hellooo mod/op here. welcome to my first ever rp blog!! i've been seeing a lot of simon/convict blogs pop up since watching the movie and was inspired to make my own!

just to make a few things clear first, this takes place in a universe where both simon and ava were able to escape the grasp of at-5 with the black box and their bodies somewhat intact. simon, however, has been mutated/infected by the blood ocean, and is now under quarantine until the doctors can figure out wtf is up with him.

this blog contains both spoilers and headcanons for the movie, including things like last names and ages. don't take stuff i say in posts as canon.

since i've never had an rp account before, i don't have many restrictions. just please don't be rude or overly explicit, and please no self-shipping.

Good news, we’re working on a hand prosthesis for you. There’s not much we can do with the little materials we have left but it’s better than nothing. Hopefully we’ll get to actually test it out once your immune system calms down a little, best to as careful as possible so you don’t drop dead.

i… thanks, ava. i dont really think its worth wasting materials on, though.

i do appreciate it, anyway.

[simon-sm-13]

Simon. I give you a taco ^^

*holds up taco*

Don't listen to the voices Simon.

Enjoy thee taco :3

Nothings real anymore, is it Simon?

It's the best taco! Made it myself! ^^

Who's blood is on yours hands Simon?

*the voices whisper*

….okay. uh. thanks for the. taco. i guess.

[simon-sm-13]

hey there simon!! how you feeling?? any pain? bet it’s good not to be stuck in a tin can anymore.

anythings an improvement from being down there, i guess. cant say i’m doing well, but i’m as good as i can be, i think.

[simon-sm-13]

Simooon how are you doinggg how’s your hsnd

hands just as gone as the rest of my arm. doc’s working on getting some of the weird scabby junk off the stump, though. i thought the whole thing would hurt more, but its just. i dunno. numb, i think. just gone.

it is what it is, i guess.

“Awake?” The nurse asks as soullessly as usual. She approaches his room fully masked and protected. She looks up at him from her glasses. “How are we feeling today?”

— @coi-infirmary-wing

about as good as i was last time. which is to say not very.

i…. dont think i recognize you. are you… new? here?

i dont know why, but she…. kinda gives me the creeps…

[simon-sm-13]

*A new day. A new message. It's appearance, suspended over the screen becoming an evident choice. A courtesy.*

Still caged, Simon? You say I gave you nothing, but I offered you more of a choice than they ever did. Your brothers. Ava. What is freedom if not that?

yeah, well, i chose to live and let you rot down there alone. what you offered me wasnt freedom. i dont know what it was, but i know i’d rather die than accept it.

so how many times do i have to tell you to fuck. off.

[simon-sm-13]

Is ava ticklish?

wouldnt know, never been close enough to touch her and im happy keeping it that way.

[simon-sm-13]

Why did you leave, Simon? Why did you leave?

- @elli-the-eel

because i didnt want to die, asshole. should be pretty easy to figure out.

[heyyyy i. don’t have any good reason for why i’ve been missing for like a week. whoops.]

[simon-sm-13]

last anon is absolutely correct in saying dinosaurs are real . the explanation you got from docs daughter isn’t too far off , but not all of them were direct ancestors of birds (more like aunts and uncles of them instead of parents if that makes sense) and there was so much more variety than you’d think ! there were little meat-eaters than ran on two legs , giant plant eaters with long necks to reach the tops of trees , and a bunch of more medium sized ones with horns they used to defend themselves . the reason they all died millions of years ago is because a giant asteroid hit earth , which caused all sorts of issues . we were able to find their bones in the ground though , and that’s how we know about them . cmon man you gotta believe us join the dinosaur enjoyer nation🙏

….huh. thats. actually really badass. i dont wanna be face-to-face with something like that, ive had my fair share of giant skeletons and monsters, but its cool that we like. know they existed because of bones in the ground.

[simon-sm-13]

Convict and pudding doesn’t sound like a match lol someone definitely givin you their portion

how many times do i have to remind you people that im an ex-convict now. im just some guy in medical they can give me all the pudding i want!

[simon-sm-13]

Simon are you gonna address the 5 puddings incident Ava talked about yet

if i dont acknowledge it it didnt happen okay

[simon-sm-13]

Doc’s daughter is right about dinosaurs actually. She wasn’t kidding or making it up.

no fucking way im choosing not to believe this

[simon-sm-13]

*the screen flickers at his outburst and a new message materializes.*

You think me a hallucination because you cannot conceive of a reality outside your own. Do not think your stoic captain unaffected. She pretends, Simon. She worries what they'll think of her if they know, that they'll see her unfit for command.

Did you really think either of you survived? Without me? You were submerged in an ocean of blood. Such fragile little things. And I gave you life, and the choice to be a part of something greater.

ava is fine. i know shes fine, she got the same exam as i did when she got up here, she passed and i failed. but i survived. we both did, and we're never coming back to you, and as far as im concerned, nobody else ever will, so you can quit fucking with me and just crawl back into your shitty little blood cave and rot.

i am part of something greater. without you. you gave me nothing.

[simon-sm-13]

Soooo are you gonna tell @captainintheconsolidation about the eels, the black box or what

obviously i told her about it, that was like the whole point of being down there. i told her everything i remembered as soon as i was lucid enough to talk again.

[simon-sm-13]

hi simon , hope you’re having a good day (well . as good as it can get for you in these circumstances ) . the favorite animal ask had me wondering . do you know about dinosaurs ? or is that not really taught anymore ?

okay so i actually asked someone about this because ive never heard of "dinosaurs" in my life. the doc's daughter piper likes to come to work with her mom, keeps me entertained. shes 12, a brilliant kid with a lot of attitude.

......shes also a bit of a brat so im not at all convinced by what she told me. she said "dinosaurs" were the ancestors of chickens millions of years ago, and, like, a thousand times bigger, and they couldnt fly at all, and then they all died out. i swear to god that kids fucking with me because theres no way something like that was alive and i never learned about it. i'd never shut up about them if i was a teacher!
