Entry tags:
video; un: bana-nice; dated to early April
WHO: Nana and you!
WHERE: the network
WHEN: early April
WHAT: just chatting
WARNINGS: serious talk about a near-death experience and possession
[The video clicks on to show a friendly-looking girl with a bright smile, sitting outside under a tree on Kaisou University's campus. She gives the camera a wave with both hands. Maybe her phone's sitting on a tripod?]
Hello, everyone! I think I've seen some of you around school, but to those of you I don't know, I'm Daiba Nana - or just Nana. I'm a theatre student here at Kaisou University. It's good to meet you all! I hope we can all be good friends.
[Her smile fades, just a little.]
I also wanted to take a minute to talk about something that can be kind of scary, but also, to encourage people. So...
[Deep breath.]
I don't think it's much of a surprise to anyone that strange things happen around here sometimes. I think some of you remember when we were putting on Phantom of the Opera in high school and the chandelier fell before the show? Not during the show, when it's supposed to fall, but when I was rehearsing Christine's part on my own one night. There were all kinds of rumors about a ghost in the theatre, but I thought they were superstitions till that night. I'm convinced that the ghost was the one that made the chandelier fall.
Well, that night, I wasn't sure I was going to make it out of there. That's when, well, a harpy's spirit possessed me. The details are still a little bit blurry, but she got me out of there and helped me heal.
That was a couple years back, and we've learned to coexist mostly peacefully since then. There's one week a month where I'm basically a bottomless pit when it comes to food, but it's something I've gotten used to. Plus, I've learned a little bit of magic. Watch this -
[She picks up a paper fan, holding her left hand still. With her right hand, she lets a little gust of wind blow, making the fan move.]
- and I can make small things float, so that helps a lot with taking pictures and video with my phone.
I wanted to just encourage people that even when bad things like that happen, you can make something good out of it. If you ever need someone to talk to about it, I'll always be glad to listen. I'll even bring banana muffins.
[With one more wave, she clicks off the video.]

I don’t think a lot of people see it the way I do, though. I hear rumors here and there, but nothing concrete.
no subject
I think a lot of us are reasonably cautious.
['Us'. Letting it drop that he's part of this without actively saying he is. He's still wary. Talking to others like himself is still a new experience.]
There's plenty of ways it can bite you in the ass if the wrong person finds out.
It gets dangerous fast if someone stops seeing you as a person.
And plenty of people out there won't see us as people.
The kinds who'll try to use it to justify putting us under a microscope to study.
Or the kinds who'll think we're a threat.
[He's less wary of the people he's met through this whole Zodiac mess. They all seem to have their own weird shit going on. He's feeling that out. But he's been hiding his possession a long time. It's an adjustment learning he maybe doesn't have to.]
no subject
I just…think that if it happens, we’re better served as a united front to fight back.
no subject
People who think we're monsters aren't really wrong.
Even if their idea of what that means is off.
What else would you call something that died and kept on going?
Don't think it's a bad thing to be one, probably.
But people don't like shit they can't understand.
[But the two possessed he's talked to so far seemed nice. First Luisa and now Nana. Neither one was the type of person who would come to mind with that word.]
That your end goal then?
Get a bunch of us together in a strength in numbers play?
[Not a bad plan. He was just looking for others for answers at first. But now he was also looking because it felt... nice. Not being alone. He's just not good at admitting that.]
no subject
[she hopes the joke translates through text.]
Yeah, basically. Strength in numbers is usually a pretty good call.
no subject
Zombies, huh?
I've had this damn thing latched on for most of my life.
Pretty safe to assume I'm not going to start craving brains any time soon.
So we're in the clear on that one.
[His own sense of humor might not translate too well through text but he picked up hers at least.]
Count me in, I guess.
Your little 'I died and all I got was this shitty possession' club.
Or would it be a 'not a zombie, but something adjacent' support group?
