Video > Text | un: Miss Jackson if you're nasty
[The picture clicks on, almost entirely filled with the pale face of one Olivia Moore, brow bunched up as she taps at something on the screen.
Murmurred:] Okay, I think that's recording.
[Sitting back, she gives her head a little, resolute shake, and brushes some platinum hair from her face. She pulls in a breath, sighs it out again.]
Hi, everyone. This is Liv. I think most of you know me, but we've kind of had a run on newbies recently, so you might just know me as "that short girl with the white hair." I'm a doctor, originally from Seattle on Earth, around 2017. I've been here about six months-ish. And... none of that is really the point of this video.
So, here's the thing. I'm a zombie. [A thin, nervous laugh and slight shrug.] Obviously not the mindless, face-falling-off kind, although that does happen if I don't get enough brains to eat. [A slow nod, lips pressed together.] Yeah, some of you who work in the kitchen are probably starting to put some things together right about now. I'm sure my obsession with saving venison brains has seemed a little weird.
[Another breath.] The good news is, I can survive just fine on animal brains, which is what I've been doing. The zombie virus can't be transmitted by touch or saliva or me sneezing on you or anything like that. It's strictly blood-borne, doesn't survive outside the human body. Sex and a blood-drawing scratch are the big ways to catch it. [She lifts her hand, fingers splayed to show her nails.] I keep 'em short.
The chance of me being a threat in any way to any of you is very, very slim, but the chance is there. So I get it if you would rather I not be your doctor. Beverly is awesome and I'm sure she'll be happy to help you instead. And I'm just kind of hoping that most of you understand why I kept this a secret, and don't hold it against me too much. It's kind of an instinctive thing for me. People usually don't react well. So.
[A bite of her bottom lip, tilt of her head.] If you have questions, you can send a text to this video once I post it, public or private. I'll do my best to answer them.
Oh, and Bull, I kinda need to talk to you.
Thanks. [A finger lifts toward the screen and the picture cuts off]

Look at this! I've just realized that if I were to put a : and a ) together, it looks like a strange and sideways smiling face! :) That is a very terrible representation of how I look right now.
If your boyfriend is a friend of Steve, then I will consider him a friend of mine without having met him. Though, to be clear, I would very much like to meet him.
I am sorry to hear about your friends. What happened to them?

I'm sure you'll meet him soon, it's a small village
and people here disappear sometimes same as they appear
well, not exactly the same, they don't go out through the fountain, they just are gone
guess nobody explained that to you
no subject
Oh, I like that very much! :D It is so happy! It is so joyful!
They simply disappear? Without warning? Do they turn into a collection of star dust and light and ascend into the sky the way we do when we go to Valhalla?
That was not explained to me, but I was told that we are clones of our originals, which has caused many troubling thoughts to arise.

well, technically it's possible they turn into stardust and float away, I don't think anybody's actually witnessed a disappearance yet
I like that, though, the stardust
it sounds beautiful
the clone thing is very troubling, but we're not 100% sure about it yet
sometimes it's hard to tell whether the people in charge of this place are giving us real info or just trying to upset us
(we call that trolling - you've probably met actual real-life trolls)
no subject
It is indeed beautiful. There are far worse ways to go, but that - despite the accompanying sadness, of course - is very beautiful to watch. It is the end I hope I meet, when it's my time.
Have we seen those who are in "charge" of this place? Do we know what they want with us? My money is on what you call "trolling." Stripping us of our powers is a very easy way to do just that.
