entranceway | 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.

[Minato smiled in return, bowing his head a bit as he stepped inside.]

Sure. Just to let you know, when I summon, it doesn't hurt.

[He had to put that warning out there first.]

I can try to heal any injury that you might have now, if you have any?

That's good to know. And as far as current injuries go -

[ Liv walks to her kitchen... ]

I don't have any, so -

[ ...and procures a large kitchen knife, turning back to him. ]

This is why I asked if you were squeamish.

[Minato followed Liv into the kitchen and... oh. A fresh wound? That would work. All in the name of science! And safety. He nodded though, understanding.]

I'm good. I hope this works so you don't have to hurt for too long.

[Because that's what he was worried about, even if she did say that she healed fast. How fast was fast?]

If it doesn't, well. Long sleeves for a while.

[ Extending her arm, she places the knife diagonally just below the crease of her elbow joint and makes a long cut, wincing slightly. It doesn't well with blood, though the flesh is definitely cut deeply. Putting the knife back down on the counter, she holds out her arm toward Minato. ]

Okay, do your thing.

[ Spoiler alert: it'll work! ]

[Yay, thanks for the spoiler! Perfect! ^-^

Minato nodded quickly and drew his Evoker from his hip holster. He brought it to his temple and after pulling the trigger, summoned Messiah, his normally equipped Persona, to drop his most powerful healing spell Salvation. His Persona sank back into him when he was finished, or thought he was finished.]

Did it work?

[ Well, that's an intense looking thing, though she's sure he knows what it must look like so, whatever. Moving on. She watches as the wound on her arm disappears, and then Liv runs her fingers over the skin. ]

Smooth as silk. Huh. I mean, it was fifty-fifty on whether or not it would work on a dead body, but I guess now we know. And it's better than waiting around for a couple of days to heal.

[ Nodding slowly, she looks up at him. ]

Thanks, for that.

[Minato was relieved that it did work. It was nice to be reassured himself too that his powers could work on a zombie. Kind of neat, really.]

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help. Don't hesitate if you need it.

[He was willing to assist her at any time at all.]

And if anyone does give you trouble about being who you are, let me know.

So far, so good I think. People have been a lot more chill about this than I honestly thought they would be.

It helps that you don't have any bad intentions, no matter who or what you are.

True. There are some people from home I honestly can't imagine coming here.

[ Blaine would think this was a buffet, probably. Unlimited brains but that would be good enough for him because where's the sport in the closets? God, that'd be terrible. ]

Someone we should look out for?

[Minato would know what to watch for then.]

I don't think so. He's just afraid. Someone he cares about was killed here. By a zombie. But we've been talking, I think it's okay now.

I'm sorry.

[It had to be hard on both sides either way, even if things were okay now.]

You're taking everything so far really well, I think.

I think building it up in my head to the worst case scenario really helped, honestly. I was prepared for the worst, but it was actually better than what I imagined.

Mn, it sounds pessimistic, but I would've done the same thing.

[A little pessimism or just anticipating was fine. Better than being unprepared.]

You'll be okay? We can talk or I can heal you again whenever you need it.

Cautious optimism? Maybe that's a good way to put it.

[ She looks around her room a little and nods. ]

Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm okay. Not as worried about angry mobs now. Thank you, by the way, for testing your ability out on me.

Sounds good.

[On both the cautious optimism (he liked that!) and her being okay.]

And anytime, okay? Just call.

[If his powers could be of some use here, he was all for it. He could see himself out the door too since it was only polite after he ended up in her room and he shouldn't trouble her any more either.]
