[how long has it been? five minutes? ten, of twenty-five? not nearly long enough, but the seconds stretch on, leaving you with nothing but your own thoughts as company. the static surges only once, filled with grasping limbs just out of reach, the sound of someone crying out hidden by wavering noise.]
[and then, through that noise as it slowly fades—]
> (—I just want—)
[—a voice.]
> (—not sure anything was real? How—)
[simon's voice.]
> (—knew this was too good to be true, but—)
> —- Can't I just have this one thing? Haven't I done enough?
@bones-and-iron
//the consistent timeline has been restored!! lmao
< the silence streched on now that they were alone again. the silence brought too much. it gave too much. the static only grew louder, and they could only drown it out for so long before they grew insane.
so they spoke over it. >
> –animals. God. I hadnt seen any in this world at all.
> I miss them, you know?
> I used to have this cute little kitty that I had to leave behind
> I think she'd be 12 now.
< but they only grew more frantic, more desperate, the longer the silence and static grew >
> –my brother.
> its weird having your captain be your brother because every time someone mentions that he's my brother, people give me weird looks
> like they feel as if the only reason I got on The Core was because he was my brother
> well jokes on them
> I didnt even realize who the captain was until the day we were setting out
> because everyone kept calling him Captain Newthorne and thats our mothers maiden name
> so take that Lewis!
< yet nothing worked >
> Did you know I'm suppose to have a partner?
> I mean I did have a partner at one point
> but they're gone now
> so its only me
> but thats okay
> I dont need a partner
> even if most scouting ships have pairs
> there are exceptions
> Im one of like 4 scouting ships that don't have a partner
> so at least I don't have to add another thing to my "people think I get special treatment because the captain is my brother" list
< It only wanted in >
< Embrace it. Let the static in. It just wants to help - don't let him push us away! >
> ...
< and then... >
[ SHIP 2387 IS REQUESTING ENTRY ]
> ...
> He's here
[ SHIP 2387 IS REQUESTING ENTRY ]
< They glance at the terminal as the static slowly fades. They don't understand why. Is the signal weakening? K hopes not. They need it to find Simon. >
[ SHIP 2387 IS REQUESTING ENTRY ]
> fuck
> okay
> jeez
> I'm coming
> hold your horses
< and they walk away from the terminal >
[ SHIP 2387 IS REQUESTING ENTRY ]
< but in the background >
[ SHIP 2387 IS REQUESTING ENTRY ]
< through the booming computer and the quieting sound of the static >
(-knew this was too good to be true-)
[ SHIP 2387 IS REQUESTING ENTRY ]
< a voice >
(-Can't I just have this one thing?-)
[ SHIP 2387 IS REQUESTING ENTRY ]
< Simon's voice!>
< K stops in their tracks, wondering if they just heard things. Wonders if they're truly losing their mind >
(-Haven't I done enough?)
[ SHIP 2387 IS REQUESTING ENTRY ]
< but no. That- That was Simons voice. It had to be.
Right? >
< They were quick, running to the other end of the ship to slam on a button, and before Jackson could say a thing to K, they run back to the terminal, slamming into with so much force that it rattles the table >
> Simon?
> Fuck, Simon!
> please please tell me I didn't just fucking halucinate you speaking to me again
> Please say something
> anything
> oh stars
> don't leave me again
> please
> I feel like I'm losing my mind
> am I talking to myself again?
> I have to be-
> Simon....?
> Are you there...?
> Who in the world are you talking to, K?
> ...Simon
> I don't hear anything lass
> I don't think he's there

> Common, come help me get the sub ready
> I think you need to have anything else on your mind
> you can..
> you can think however you want
> I won't hold it over your head
> I just want to save you
> I want to fight for you
< K laughs softly, a soft broken sound. They felt so out of place, now. Like they didn't know how to fix this all >
> ...there's no need to say sorry
> you never need to say sorry

[ Sunny here!! I'm making this blog mainly because I've been RPing with a blog recently (@bones-and-iron) and my asks have gotten so long that I actually have to write them inside of my notes app before sending it to them.
I dont have a lot written for them, but there is some plot on why they've been interacting with Simon and its entire universe.
Depending on where I go with them, this is just a bit of their lore. (or well as much as I have right now)
K and their crewmates popped into this universe a couple years after the destruction of Filament Station. Currently, K is a scout that is going around the universe searching for information and life. They do find Simon eventually and trying to get him out and off of AT-5.
Edit: this ^ technically doesnt have to be all of what K does, in reality, but its mostly what's K objective... Im adding this here because I want to rp with other people, but Im so nervous about it for some reason.
I'm really shit with replies and if I have messaged you as an Anon and you'd wish to continue that plotline, please let me know. It has been a busy week and I dont entirely remember everything I've done lmao ]

Ben was going to be furious with them, having gone into the ocean when he had specifically told them they weren't allowed to.
Captain Isenhardt IS furious because she was trying to stop them from going in and K went in anyways and gods they were going to be arrested or taken into custody because of their stupidity.
They had no food, no water. Why would the sub need it if no one was going to be inside. They also had limited oxygen!! Which is a surprise considering the sub doesn't usually have people on it!!
So, yeah, K was absolutely fucked, if they even survive this whole thing. They had no clue where they were even dropped and they barely remembered the coordinates Simon had given them. If they even knew how to get to said coordinates anyways.
Okay, they thought, Okay. No panicking because if you panic you lose time and if you lose time you wont be able to get back up and save Simon at the same time...
K hesitates for a moment at that thought. Could they even save Simon? They don't even remember how they unlatched the sub from The Crow in the first place, let alone how to control the sub manually. This whole rescue mission was doomed from the start, and K was no longer in control of it all. They had to try and contact someone, whether that be Simon, their Captain, or even Captain Isenhardt.
They fumble with the terminal for a moment before realizing that the terminal wasn't even connected to anything. Not The Crow, not the SS Luna, or even The Core. It was disconnected because why would you need it connected to anything when the remote sub never had people on it. And so, they stood in front of the broken terminal, contemplating on what they should do now when the terminal crackled to life. They're quick to turn to stare at it, startled, as the red light of the terminal blinked at them. K waits, wondering if there was anyone on the other side.
A minute passes, then two, then five. It was silent as if it's waiting for K to say something first.
K stares down at the terminal, its red light blinking mockingly at them, "...Hello?" They call out evenutally, hoping, praying, that someone was on the other side, "Is... anyone there?"
Yet they didn't hear a word.
"Please...? Simon? Is that you?...."
Not a word.
"Captain? Ben? Anyone? Jackson???"
Only the sounds of their breathing could be heard.

K jerks, eyes snapping open as everything around them rattles in anger. Their hands fling out to grab a hold of the console in front of them, steading themselves in bewilderment. What just happened? One minute they were taking a nap and the next– wait, console?
They look down, seeing their hands gripping the subs console tightly. They blink slowly, looking at all the blinking lights that shined brightly in the otherwise dark room.
"...huh?" They mutter, a confuse look crossing their face as they slowly let go of the console. K backs up, bumping into the chair behind them. They blink rapidly, rubbing their eyes to make sure they werent seeing things before turning on their heel.
No. It was definitely still the sub, they were still inside, so what just happened? Why were they at the console now? Weren't they just napping near the door?
They walk into the middle of sub, spinning around in a circle, trying to see if anything was out of place. Nothing was, so what woke them up? Something had to have woken them up...
They stood in the middle for awhile, mind running in circles when-
(–"45 minutes to try... whatever Scout wants to do"–)
(–'that be fine with"–)
(–"unacceptable. We're taking th"–)
(–panic, terror, fear–)
(–"no no no can't let them take it"–)
(–"have to... have to go down. now now now"–)
K holds onto their head, groaning in pain as the static rose to a volume that hurt. It subsided after a moment, forcing them to blink rapidly as memories from before came flooding back. They stood in the middle of the sub, dumbfounded at their own stupidity.
"Why the fuck did I do that?" They scolded themselves, looking around the sub once more as it groans and shifts in the dead of the blood ocean, "Now what the fuck do I do?"
For they have stranded themselves in the middle of a blood ocean, with no food or water, limited oxygen and 45 minutes to either get out, or find Simon. They were completely fucked.
