Video (killed the light novel star)

[axmeowder]

[ The video feed shows off a council room of some kind. There's a few figures in the background - a blond princess, for those who remember Cami, and a huge guy in pitch black armor who looks like the main villain of a fantasy epic. But the scarred, short-haired catgirl is front and center. ]

So a question. What are schools like where you're from? I've never been to one, so I have... no idea what they're like.

We have some here, but they're mostly for the children of merchantry, politicians, or nobility. Or for magic-users - there's a big magic academy... somewhere. Obviously I didn't get to go to any of those.

Any of you guys got schools like that?

Reality Intrudes (video)

"They say you shouldn't give out much identifying information, but honestly, fuck it, at this point even I believe I'm a fiction piece." Michael runs their hands through their hair and is sitting in some library-- the stacks are behind them and they're just... They're masked up and they're sitting there and they look.

So tired.

"I just... I got so many messages from people asking how I did it, what special effects I used, the wig I wore--" They paused. "I even got a job offer in post production for the Industry. I might still take it. But, uh--"

"Like, on the one hand, I remember-- I remember the CG work, the model, the voice changer--" they paused. "and. on the other. I remember it actually happening. the sharp moment of pain, and discontinuity. Walking among... people I didn't even know existed."

"... am I just losing my grip?" They take a deep breath. "That's enough of that though I came to talk about my classes."

"So I'm in nerd school for nerds, I'm understanding calculus..." They sigh. "I... I should start this over."

Michael should know by now, though, that it's hard to get badgernet to get rid of content.

[video] Welcome to the Party From Hell (cw: general violence)

[fashionable_yapping]

[The video opens with a scene of Nina standing against a background of tables covered with snack spreads of the sort you might see at a party. There's also some party decor, such as dangling letters spelling out "RECALLERS SOCIAL". Milling around and occasionally eating are a bunch of varied people, some of them looking like normal humans and some having various weird features.]

So, yeah, this is a party for a bunch of us Recallers. I got one of the techheads to lend me his hover-camera thing which I linked to my phone so it'll broadcast to BadgerNet while recording.

Now let's show you around. There're a few of my friends, I'll introdu--

[She is cut off by the sudden appearance of monstrous looking hump-backed shadows with sharp teeth and claws, which after the initial disorientation begin attacking people.

At first, Nina looks surprised, lost, and a little frightened. But then she kinda zones out a little... and suddenly she looks *much* more comfortable, like she's at home in a familiar environment, even among the screams and strife.]

Oh huh. Just remembered my past life's combat skills.

[She knows what to do. She grabs a pair of folks and sticks them into quite painfully fatal positions on the two nearest monsters. And with that, she becomes practically a whirlwind of pain and death, grabbing anything that will serve as a weapon and putting them to good use. Those with suitable combat or medical knowledge will notice she's apparently specifically aiming to cause painful deaths with much suffering.

And she's quite carried away, beginning to giggle. The camera bobs chaotically as it tries to keep up to the joyously laughing figure. It's clear that the people're in general getting things under control, though some look hurt or worse. And Nina just keeps slaughtering and slaughtering shadow monsters, until she is brought up short as someone gets to a monster before her. Looking around, she looks... crestfallen?]

No more prey...

[Blinking, she seems to come more fully to herself. With a very mollified expression, she reaches to turn off the camera.

A while later, Nina appears in a follow-up video, looking a little tired and a little disgruntled. Also still covered in monster blood.]

So, yeah. I got... carried away. At least I know now it's possible for me to get carried away like that. It won't happen again.
