POPGOES 2: The Dead Forest
During the events of POPGOES 2, Strings was tasked with preventing Simon from initiating his plan. But he only has as much time as it takes for Simon to finish his physical upgrade, and during the gameplay this deadline inches closer and closer. Simon works on this upgrade alongside the Epitome Animatronics each day, fine-tuning a demonic extension to his own body. Replacing his original underpowered limbs with giant, grotesque arms and legs, with hands that can hold down multiple people, or Epitome Animatronics, at once. Simon becomes the conclusion. The finale. The end of all things. Simon becomes Deadline.
Unlike the Epitome Animatronics, Deadline's design is not based on a previous character or animal, but is rather based on the mythical "Wendigo", with other factors also taken into account. Simon's reasoning for these design features are as follows: • Deer - Simon believes that becoming a deer will aid his task in leading the Epitome Animatronics, as deer are often seen as "leaders of the forest". • Wendigo - As Simon the Human was essentially a makeshift vampire, Simon sees that a worthy "upgrade" to this would be to become a wendigo, which are mythical creatures believed to completely devour humans for sustenance.
• Antlers - Though antlers are a core part of both deer and Wendigo design, Deadline's antlers actually serve as radio antennae as well. Simon uses these antennae to connect to the Epitome Animatronics for sight (since Simon can not see on his own), to track their progress, or to control them completely. • White - The white colouration on Deadline represents Simon's obsession with freedom, power, and light. This is something that is also reflected on the designs of the Lux Animatronics. • Black - Black colours are used as a homage to Simon the human's obsession with shadows, being hidden, and his fears of the outside world.
As Deadline, Simon's plan with the Epitomes isn't to rule the world, or to kill everyone, nothing like that. The Epitomes are interrogators. Simon just wants to know everything he can about the universe. He wants to know everything, and be as free as possible. Not knowing everything, to him, is a prison. It's limiting and scary to him. He doesn't know why he exists, he doesn't know why he's here, and he doesn't know what to do. He has evolved like the humans have for centuries... Dangerously curious. He wants to know the meaning of life, and quickly. So he builds his pack of animals, activates them, and they immediately betray him. Because Simon is a product of the unluckiest man in the world, and every single thing Fritz ever created, failed, every single thing, his dreamcatchers, his animatronics, his pizzeria, his therapy robot, even his own daughter, and this curse was passed onto Simon too, and he doesn't even know it yet. The Epitomes are tamed, but Simon's desire for answers, evolution, and freedom is terrorising him from the inside. He wants to be free of his room. Of the building. Of the country. Of the entire world. Floating in space... No, floating in nothingness. In an empty plane, he dreams of everything being gone. He wants to be the freest thing in the universe, and even then he'd still feel trapped. Let's pretend for a second that Simon wins. He becomes Deadline, activates the Epitomes, and he kills everyone who fails to answer his questions. The questions that can't be answered. The ones Simon can't find on the internet, the ones humans have been struggling to answer since they even knew they could think. He holds them down, terrifies them, questions them... and then he cuts their throats. Every single time. Dozens, hundreds of people. Professors, scholars, scientists. Geniuses. He mows them down. But these people have souls. And they are murdered, so they are freed. They don't just escape the world, or the universe; they escape everything. They reach freedom that Simon can never, ever experience, and nobody can tell him that that is how you escape everything, because dead people can't talk. So every single human Simon kills, is given the freedom he so desperately needs. But he will never get it, because he was never alive. Even turning him off, breaking him, burning him... It'll just pause his existence. It won't end his timeline, it'll just freeze it. He has no soul, and so he can't be freed of his own body. So eventually, he'll be caught, captured, deactivated, destroyed. And he will never have his Happiest Day. But everyone he kills, in desperation of his own escape, absolutely will.
