say it ain't so (video)

[ When Liv appears on the screen, she's in a nice off-white sweater with a hint of gold sparkle to it, full face of makeup and nervously smiling. She gives a wave, then lets out a breath she's been holding. ]

I have a confession. And some of you know. Some of you who know me don't know, and everyone else...

[ She pauses, looking down a little. Is this the right thing? Hell if she knows. It's not like she's in a place the size of Seattle. Maybe now's the time to just come clean. ]

The rest of you don't need to know but uh...at this point if someone found out by word of mouth I feel like it'd suck more, so.

My name is Liv. I've been living here since the summer. And...I'm a zombie.

[ She pauses for a beat. ]

Obviously from a different zombie world than the rest of you. I'll answer your questions now: Yes, I eat what you think I eat but the closet provides it for me. I only act like the maniac you'd expect when I'm hurt unexpectedly and then I'm super strong and just kind of...grunty. But I can help, I do help. I've saved people. I've died here. Yes, I'm technically dead right now, but I still look great?

I guess those are the hard-hitting questions. If you have any others I'll be here to answer them.

Please don't try to kill me. I'll just come back.

So I guess that's it. Now you all know, and I can breathe easier. Ish. Well, not breathe. Whatever, you know what I mean.

[The attempted smile is awkward and unsure, but R can't say this doesn't give him some level of confidence as well. Maybe he should do the same... for similar reasons.]

If... someone does. You can tell me. I'll... come and help you.

[He's got your back, sister.]

[livemoore]

You have no idea how much that means to me. I'd back you up in any fight.

[ Right back at you, brother. ]

[He finally gives a weak smile which, due to a general lack of using the video function on the whole, comes over as a lot more vulnerable than he might have meant it to.]

Thanks.

[It's reassuring.]

H... hopefully won't... be a fight.

[livemoore]

If there is, there are plenty of people willing to fight with me. With us. Don't worry. I got this.

[keephersafe]

[A small nod.]

Okay. We're... You're gonna be okay, right?

[livemoore]

We definitely are. I promise.
