Ninth Transition [video]

[The feed flips on and Tara sits on her bed, eyes a little red. She clears her throat before speaking.]

So. I guess it became pretty clear during that event that I'm...not what you'd call "all there". I've got an explanation for that, but it's, uh, it's got nothing to do with magic. Unfortunately.

[She scratches at her neck, awkward. Hesitant. She wanted to avoid this for as long as possible but, well. There's no doing that now.

The most she can do is try and avoid saying what it is exactly.]

I have a psychological disorder. It can make me act pretty strange when it kicks in, but I swear I am not dangerous. I'm just...quirky.

[The word falls flat in the face of everything she's still hiding, but she tries not to show the discomfort in her face.]

Thanks for understanding, everyone. If you have any more questions, I can explain more specifically, but...to be honest, I don't want to become a freak show if I can avoid it.

It may not mean much coming from a stranger, but compared to all the strange people I've seen here, you don't seem freakish at all.

[brainkegger]

Thanks. [She smiles.] Honestly, it means a lot.

No need to thank me for just stating my opinion. Your mental condition's not your own fault, right? So no one has any right to treat you badly for it.

[brainkegger]

Haha, well, it hasn't stopped people before.

[itsalluseless]

Yeah, that's people for you. But not everyone's like that.

Thankfully. I'm shocked at the reception I'm getting so far.
