Time to Panic?

[fashioneebo]

[A picture goes up on Mikleo's feed. It just looks like the side of the library, but in a pose that seems like it's meant to be a selfie. Weirdly, there's no Mikleo in sight.]

Mikleo Doushi-Lefay 2/1/2018 near Recolle Library

Oh my god, okay, so even cameras can't see me??? What the fuck Uh. So. I tried checking out a book. The librarian can't see me. I tried asking around to see if maybe it was just something innocuous. Turns out, nobody can see me. Or hear me, for that matter. God I hope this is temporary and not what I think it is.

That sounds like you became a ghost. Or maybe a vampire. I can't believe you're dead. Rest in pieces.

[fashioneebo]

I'm not dead!! I'm fine in sunlight and don't have fangs, so I can't be a vampire!

[Mikleo is, however, resisting the urge to do a pterodactyl impression in public.]

/Crap./

[openhanded]

oh no

[MIKLEO NEVER SWEARS, THIS MEANS IT IS VERY VERY VERY BAD.]

I'm ending this session early. I'll be there in ten minutes. stay put ok?

[fashioneebo]

[IT IS, IN FACT.]

I've got nowhere else to go. Please get here soon.

[floret]

Jamie Doh Um
Jamie Doh What do you think it is?

[fashioneebo]

Mikleo Doushi-Lefay I think my entire physiology had a sudden change to what my "past life" or whatever's is.
Mikleo Doushi-Lefay So now I'm some kind of holy nature spirit/god.
Mikleo Doushi-Lefay That apparently most people can't see.

[ Ah, she was at this guy's wedding but still hasn't really talked with him... Well. ]

Confirming that I can't see you either.

[ Well unless she can she has the ability to see/interact with ghosts as a regain but Zesty things are a whole other thing I think plus your regains implies cameras can't pick him up period so shrug !!! ]

I hope that's temporary too, that would be a really lonely thing to have to deal with day in and day out.

[fashioneebo]

[tbh if she can see/interact with ghosts, i'd argue that she can absolutely see seraphim with that so!!! but yeah cameras and mirrors don't pick up seraphim at all so whoops]

Goddamn it.

I'm fortunate that at least my husband can see me, but otherwise...this is going to make life extremely difficult. It might be a bit lonely, but I think I can work around it. Hopefully.

[chaoticwhimsy]

That's so weird. A video feed with no people and no one talking?

[Damn it Luna don't mess with the poor ghost...]

[fashioneebo]

[This is Mikleo's life, now.]

Oh my god. It's just an attempt at a selfie to see if I showed up!

[At least, he's pretty sure he just took a photo. Now he's gotta double-check himself.]

[keystaff]

I can't see you either. But are you okay? I can come and help you get the book if you need?

I've never helped a ghost before. Or. What do you think is going on?

[fashioneebo]

As okay as I can be. Please, don't trouble yourself on my account. I fortunately don't need it badly.

I'm not a ghost! [Technically.] But my "past self" or whatever had been a nature spirit/god. A seraph, they're called, and not in the angel hierarchy sense.

Anyway, seraphim don't seem to be seen or heard by most people. Now I'm finding out that this is actually true.

Figures this would happen after a year of dealing with Retrospec's nonsense.

[ Andrew is not awake enough for this day. At all. Not even close. He stares at the update from his coworker and just. Can't. ]

You're not joking, are you.

[fashioneebo]

[Sorry, Andrew, but your coworker is now the Invisible Man and boy does it suck.]

I wish I was.

Sorey's picking me up. And I intend to talk to Majima about this as soon as I can.

[deathboss]

Maybe you're a vampire??

[He's trying to be helpful!]

[fashioneebo]

Not a vampire!!

[Honestly, Mikleo really should've expected this response, but he doesn't so that's on him.]

From what I remember of my flashbacks, I'm some sort of nature spirit/god. A seraph. No wings, before you ask.

[ascatic]

I do not know what to say.

If you are a ghost, can you eat or drink?

Also maybe you are not a ghost. Perhaps you have become air itself.

[ thinking ]

[fashioneebo]

Definitely not a ghost. I still feel solid, but I don't think I'll need food or water anymore.

I think my being solid also rules out that I've become air. I wouldn't be able to text or anything if I was, anyway.

[This is by far the strangest conversation Mikleo will ever have.]

[mercurio]

what's the "not what i think it is"
you're joking right??

[fashioneebo]

Not joking. I wish I was, though.
I don't think I'm human anymore.
From the memories I have, I'm some kind of nature spirit/god. In his world, they're collectively called seraphim.
No wings, so definitely not an angel in any way.

[goen]

Hey Mikleo
Welcome to this
Sounds like you've got it a little worse than I do though

[fashioneebo]

This feels like purgatory.
Maybe, but yours is pretty bad, too, from what Sorey's told me about it.
We're making this place more of a ghost town than it already is.

[yakan]

wow that seems like itll be a big bother

maybe if you wear a sheet with holes cut out for your eyes theyll see you

[fashioneebo]

You're telling me. At least my husband can still see me.

Oh my god. That sounds like a terrible idea. I don't think I'll be able to see much even with holes cut out for my eyes.

[wordcarvings]

Oh my, that does sound very inconvenient.
If you need any help with anything for the duration, I would be willing to lend a hand.

[fashioneebo]

Thank you for the offer, but I wouldn't want to trouble you with something like that.
Honestly, I would ask more help for my husband.
It'll be a bigger burden on him and I'd like it if he got away from that kind of responsibility every now and then as a break.

[sivard]

Wow.

This is something seraph-related, isn't it? And I was going to ask you something about us, but this seems a little more serious.

[fashioneebo]

Yeah. It's seraph-related.

I knew that seraphim would be invisible and whatever to most people, but. It's very different knowing and /experiencing/ that firsthand.

I really have to wonder how they could stand that. Then again, they probably didn't have a choice but to adapt to it.

[sotenbori]

do you feel alright?

[fashioneebo]

Shaky. Kinda scared. Otherwise, I'm okay.

I'm sorry, this is probably going to make work difficult, but I'll still do my best.
