"Simon always been here. Entity never asks Simon to "serve" Entity.."

"Simon does not make too many crows and rats. Entity does tell Simon when Simon makes too many, but Simon only make one each every time the tick machine goes 'Ding! Ding!"

*Simon looks behind him and too the wall to show what this "tick" machine" was. It was a large grandfather clock that appears to still be working. Sure enough as Simon says the clock is still making a soft ticking noise while it still shows the time. The current time reads it's currently 4:16, however whether that means am or pm is unclear as time never really feels like it changes in the realms, only the seasons.*

"Entity likes birds, Entity does not mind crows being all throughout our home. However, Rats must stay in this home- *Simon looks around the Mansion to show he means this house.* and the place called "The Lab". But, Entity sealed off "the Lab" to everyone so rats only have this home. Simon try to make his way into Lab to open big doors for Rats so rats may live in Lab and not just Home."

"Does friend have home? Friend may stay in this home if friend would like."

He is weary of so many birds. Usually the only time he even see's any is inside of the trials, when they caw to alert him to the presence of survivors. But even when not doing The Entity's bidding he notices them off in the distance everywhere. The "eyes" of the creature keeping him in The Fog.

This "Simon" seems benevolent so far, but he's always treated even the sincerest kindness with abject caution. Unable to stop his mind from assuming the other party might be deceiving him.

"How is it possible to be in here without serving anyone?"

Maybe this was a creature who was born in this place? Something forged by whatever supernatural forces kept this place operating. He scowls as he watches the crows gathering around them. Visibly nervous by the sheer number of them.

He can't help but feel the need to step back at the condor's appearance, though he doubts any wound it might inflict would be fatal. It is a creature he's never seen outside of The Fog, and that idea brings him up short somehow. The time to see a real one slipped away and will never return again.

Wesker sighs, shaking his head as he listen to the creatures explanation. "Simon - you make animals. Does The Entity never get upset with you over that? I would think she has some aversions towards animals roaming around The Fog."

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

"Enough of this!"

"You want my time?! You demand my audience so desperately, so much?!.."

"Very well then, Speak you overcomplicated energy maker! For your healthy status might differ from now at any moment if you waste breath towards me."

(Finally created a separate Ask blog for my Entity OC, supposedly called "The Shadow Entity", interact with her and learn more of this puppet master of shadows. Oh and don't worry about her harming you. It's only like a... 85% chance of happening. So.. Anyway Good luck out there champ!)

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

Is friend tired of going apeshit?

Doesnt friends just want to be nice?

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

(I need to say/ask 2 things. One can we hear more on Simon home, like is it a realm of it's own, what does it look like does it have landmarks. Lastly and this is semi a shitpost I need to see Simon with a simp hat and cane walking though the realms like the chad he is.)

MUN: Pretty sure it was meant to say Pimp hat. While that is a funny idea, I'm not in the mood to draw right now but I do wanna answer the first question. The mansion Simon and his animals reside in (all of them yes so it's a house literally full of crows and rats.) is not apart of any map and it resides in what I call the "Forest". I like to have my own headcannon for the realms that there are area's between realms that other can walk around. One being the Forest and one being the "Plains" or "Fields". the Plains being that area survivors and Killers are running through post trial board. The Forest is large area's of wooded forests, Like McMillians and the Survivor Campfire being in Area's like the Forest. The mansion is a piece of the world taken from Earth and placed in the realms by mistake. I'd like to imagine a few scattered houses, sheds and barns are within the Forest like the Mansion. The Mansion itself is fairly rundown, like hundreds of years old but still standing, mostly due to the stone foundation and brick walls keeping it up. The Mansion is primarily used by the crows and rats Simon makes as it's a safe spot that rarely gets visitors and it keeps them warm during winter seasons. It is bigger than The Legions Lodge in size. There is no real lore behind The Mansion to Simon or any character, it was just discovered and became his base, with many holes and crawlspaces in the house for Simon to explore.

(an idea of what the mansion would look like)

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

"Servant?.. No Simon does not serve anyone. Simon explores all over. Simon makes friends and explores Simon's home. Entity made Simon, Simon is sometimes called Entity too. Though Entity is Entity and Simon is Simon. Simon makes crows, Entity makes Crows and other animals. But Simon's crows are many more since Simon always makes crows! Simon loves Crows! Crows love Simon!"

*As he says this, all the crows in the large mansion begun to "caw" loudly in union. Almost like they agree with the small shadow. While Simon was about to continue speaking, Wesker finds Simon turned around and facing towards a large pedestal sitting unearth a large opening the ceiling. Within moments a large creature flaps into the mansion, kicking up a lot of dust and wind with it's wings alone. It settles upon the podium.*

*The large creature was in fact a Condor that has similarities with the crows of the realms, shadowlike and only resembling the animal they are without many details showing. However, this Condor was larger than any crow and slightly towering over the man that entered this home. Though the crows only seems curious of Wesker, this Condor seemed to have only pure malice within it's red gaze. It was a threat. Simon seems to only acknowledge the large bird before turning back to Wesker to continue the conversation they were having.*

"Simon makes Crows, Rats and anything he wishes. Entity does not make Simon make Crows, Rats, or anything. Simon only does what Simon wants, and Simon wants to make friends!"

@manufactoredxbyxdesign

*The Realms were nothing if not unpredictable. Besides the Trials, nothing had an real sense of order. In their free time there would be No laws, no rules, only during these "trials" would things make sense. One thing that could be predictable was who resides in this place, Wesker was meeting new individuals daily, some.. er "reasonable" some not so much.*

*However this probably wasn't what Wesker was expecting. As Wesker was wondering the realms foggy forest that sits between the areas that Killers use in trials. While taking a stroll, he found an old mansion sitting in the deep thicket. Walking inside, Wesker would find the house in shambles, clearly no one has lived here for some time.. at least that's what he thought.*

*As Wesker stood on the creaking floorboards he heard something about him. Flapping of wings as a crow enters from a hole in the roof. Then Another seems to fly in from about spot. Soon more and more crows fly into the Mansion and sit above Wesker, all looking down at him with red eyes. Given the amount of nests nearby.. this is THEIR home. Wesker heard another sound but this time the sound of the creaking floor, something standing on the board right in front of him. Looking down Wesker finds a small shadow creature of some sort, staring up at Wesker. The little Shadow speaks in a somewhat loud voice.*

"Hello! My name is Simon, Simon speaks for the crows. You are glasses man, Simon welcomes you to our home!"

@ask-simon-the-shadow

At first, he does not notice who is speaking. The voice sends his eyes darting back and forth a few times before he notes the tiny...creature - on the ground in front of him.

If it really is a creature, and not just his own mind beginning to play tricks on itself finally.

As it greets him in a manner that almost feels too friendly for The Fog, he stares down at it intently. Something that wasn't from his world obviously. But not familiar looking enough for him to surmise which of the others this one shared ties to. Odd, how calmly he manages to hold back. As if this were nothing. As if strange things happened to him all the time.

But they do now. A voice in the back of his mind sharply reminds him.

"My name is Albert." He interjects. Slightly thrown off by the unassuming nickname - implying that it was already at least somewhat familiar to him.

He's not careless enough to try to kneel down for a closer look. In this place, where things were always so deceptive, that would be unwise. Besides, he wasn't even sure who- or what it was. Save for it's little explanation.

"You're one of The Entity's servants then I assume?" He presses. Scowling slightly at that consideration. "As far as I am aware - the crows are her eyes. Are they not?"

Holding Simon Guide

Simon will follow friend when he is ready

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

Can I ask some lore related questions about simon? I’m curious

OOC: Sure I Do not mind. Though I have a lot of lore about Simon, there is not much to the shadow, his friendliness and innocent nature are true and there isn’t much more to him.

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

What's your favorite type of hat? (to wear or look at)

"Simon find many "hats" in his explorations."

"Simon likes many hats, but one hat that always impresses Simon is this one."

"Simon found this "hat" in a big room! It had a giant cooking pot in the middle of the room and stairs that went up into a small room. Simon found this "hat" on the wall inside that small room up high. When Simon's crows pecked at this weird hat, it began to shine a light! Like those things friends carry around and shines light! Simon now has light like friends find in wooden boxes!."

Live Simon Reaction

"Breaking News: Crows protest Running survivors, "They scare us on purpose!- Crow"

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

*picks up little Simon and smiles*

"I see my younger self in you"

"Your presence gives me comfort even in my darkest days"

"you always feel free in this cruel world and roam around like it's all yours"

"When I was a child that's what I thought. Like I had the world in my grasp and my heart felt free from all the problems I had"

"Now. The child inside me is gone. I feel more chained up to my own thoughts. Feel imprisoned in my own head"

"I can no longer think. The fire in my heart snuffed out"

"I want the child in me to come out again. And all I want is to feel individual freedom and bliss once more"

*embraces Little Simon*

"And all I wish for is to at least be appreciated and remembered by someone who understands"

*Simon looks to the anon as they speak and is a little surprised when he finds them embracing himself.*

"Simon does not understand what friend means, but if friend needs to be remembered, then Simon will remember friend. Simon believes friend is sad, Simon knows what being sad is like. Once, Simon did not have many friends. Simon would wander the forests and Simon's home for long times, yet never meet anyone that was not an Entity or one of Entity's "co-workers" as Entity call them."

"Simon was alone for much of Simon days in his home. Simon does not like to be alone, so Simon made a friend. Simon made a bird Simon saw Entity make once. Then Simon made many more crows, so many that they were everywhere. Simon wasn't alone anymore, Simon had many friends to talk to Simon. Simon believes in friend, for if friend has time, then Friend has chance to not be sad."

"Do not be sad friend, for Simon is your friend. Friends always help their friends."

New event where the Entity accidently stole an entire supply of girl scout cookies and Simon has to deliver them as an Entity Scout.

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

is Simon at the ball?

Simon is present but such crowds do make it tough for the little guy to greet others.

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

*Simon knew of the glowing box his new friend has "gently" placed him in front of. He has seem it before in the realm before. It was one of these "TV's" that long hair girl lives within. However, instead of long haired girl, Simon would watch one of those "movies" he overheard a survivor talk about. Simon remembered one should not talk during movie, so Simon sat and watched this movie with his new friend in silence, unsure of what was happening but enjoying the movie nonetheless.*

@lilguydredge

*As the Dredge wandered the realms for whatever reason it desired, it found itself being the one who was being watched, as movement from the bushes followed the small dredge. After awhile something emerged from the bushes.. and trips from a root of a nearby tree. A small shadow creature stands up off the ground and shakes itself free from the dirt upon it. The shadow was not much taller than the dredge but held even less characteristic than it. Having an oval shaped body, two legs and two glowing white eyes. The shadow sees the dredge nearby and approaches without caution. The shadow sits down in front of the dredge before suddenly speaking*

"Hello! My name is Simon, Simon speaks for the crows. Are you new friend of Simon's home? Simon has met many new friends, but friend is different from other friends. Simon likes all new friends! Friend have name?"

@ask-simon-the-shadow

The little abomination seems excited about a new friend approaching it. With excited gurgles it immediately scooped Simon and ran off… But why?

Oh! Movie night!

[ask-simon-the-shadow]

Simon is the cutest shadow ever.

"Simon followed Simon's rat into tree truck.." "Simon is stuck friends.."

End of The Christmas Present Event!

With presents delivered, The two workers had finished their deed.

The job was like a Christmas story, though a little boring to read.

The Two sat amongst the foliage, and relaxed.

For they have done much, Santa Simon and Elf Max.

Soon the Fog surrounded the two, and took their Santa and Elf outfits away.

They deserved some downtime to relax, but for one, not this day.

The small Shadow sat alone, in confusion.

Though a crow ended his short lived seclusion.

The small Shadow wandered off without another second.

But what happened to his partner, you reckon?

Well Maxwell's Elf job was indeed complete.

But around the corner, another holiday was just down the street.

A moment to catch his breath, and know what needs to be done.

For the End of December and New Year, was in need for some fun.

(This is the End of the Christmas gift event. Thank you all for sending asks for what you'd want from Santa Simon and Elf Max. It was fun meeting and gifting to so many new blogs this year. I apologize if there were some of you who wanted an ask but I didn't get too. Starting Soon there will be returning event for the End of December and Month of January. January is a rather boring month for holidays so why not help make it go down a little smoother with another event. The returning Event will start Tomorrow and last till the End of January. Hope to see you all there!)
