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]

I have had my best friend run away and not speak to me for six months over this
I probably should have known, though, because when Sam came out as a vampire everybody was really good about it
no subject
Vampire?
no subject
and yeah, Sam's situation is similar to mine, except instead of brains it's blood
no subject
Glad people seem supportive of you though. It would've caused quite a spat on here if they didn't! Us yelling at them.
no subject
and yeah, the reaction here has been amazing
glad my boyfriend doesn't have to beat anybody up ha
no subject
You can't beat people up yourself? Want to learn?
no subject
not that learning how to properly punch someone wouldn't be useful
I just meant he gets a little more worked up about this stuff than I do
protective and all that
he tries to act like it's because I think it's sexy but I know better
