Anti C.O.I. fuck-you blast.

Hi everyone this is Adam, my Iron Lung OC, specifically of the game and not the movie. Ve still looks like Markiplier as a homage to the guy who made the movie happen.

Here's the deal: Adam uses ve/vim/ver and it/its pronouns. Please don't call vim a guy. Or use they/them, that's still misgendering. The C.O.I. does that to it enough already.

You may call Adam by thing. Ve would like that.

The Taste of Iron - Update!

New chapter, everyone! Gosh, I was afraid I'd abandon my OC once I watched the movie but it just gave me more ideas for vim! And for fanfics of the movie itself too. Yeah I have something brewing.

You came back from hell, don't you count yourself lucky? The worst that could have happened is behind you. So what if everything smells and tastes like blood, and you're not even sure you're alive anymore.

Adam

Ve/vim, it/its

I made a ref for Adam's clothes! Y'know, ve usually dresses more boring when ve actually gets to pick ver own clothes. A "do not perceive me" kinda deal.

I gave up on making a hoodie feel scifi-esque. Let's just pretend that human fashion didn't change in 300 years.

-TRANSCRIPT-

Sam! I'm not dead! I'm not dead, dead, red, red, blood. Alive. I'm pretty sure. I actually made it.

Shit... Sam, I'm so glad to hear from you. To hear your voice, that is. I think I saw you trying to get in, arguing with the cops? But, well... you know how reliable I am with this kinda thing. If you didn't actually do that, it doesn't matter anyway. It cheered me up. You always cheer me up.

If you didn't actually do that, it's okay, cause you did it before. You were in there, with me. I was alone in there but I heard you there with me, and then I saw you there with me. You were breathing down my neck! Heard you breathing on me the entire time! Freaky!

I'm joking. That's not your fault. And that wasn't even the only hallucination I had of you down there. At the end there, you jumped in front of it. Of the fish, that is. You saved me, at the end there, so thanks for that.

They're finally letting me walk free tomorrow. Not just back to the cell... free, free, truly free. As free as one can be. Be.

I'm gonna miss my crew. I hope I can see them again soon. I'll come visit, do they let people visit? Or did I hallucinate that too? Nah. I bet they allow visits. I'll ask the good cop. I'll ask very nice.

They're back full force, by the way. No shit... you know I was in remission before they put me in there? In the... actually, I'm not allowed to talk about it in any sort of recording. But you know. You know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I'm sure as hell not in remission now. This is... this is not an expedition. It's an execution. This is not an expedition. It’s an execution. This is not an…

My hand hurts. Completely busted now. I don't know if I'll be able to move it again. D'you think I can find a job with just one hand? Sure I'm not gonna be as fast as before but I'm still a good mechanic. My lip hurts too, I bit it.

If you get this, could we meet? It's been a while, crocodile. And you can show me around. What's there to do in Fiber Station? I've really only seen one side of it for the last... 16 years. Haha.

Crap... I need a place to stay.
