Subject: A Big Confession


Okay I'm not sure how to go about this, but I'd super appreciate it if everyone read this??? Because I have a super huge confession to make and it's important to me. And it'd probably explain a lot about how I've been acting since I'm pretty sure I've weirded a lot out of you out.

Guess the best way to start is with the backstory. So like a super long time ago, my ancestor Sun Yee lived in this village during war time, and all the men went off to fight. But that left the village kinda defenseless, y'know? She wanted to protect her daughters so she prayed to the gods for help. So the gods gave her the ability to turn into a gigantic red panda so she could fight off any invaders and protect her home. Because she really loved red pandas.

Now I know that sounds SUPER MADE UP but I promise it's real because that ability got passed down through the generations - which leads to me. Whenever I get super emotional about anything (happy, sad, angry, you name it) I turn into the Panda. Sometimes just a small trigger will set off parts of the Panda, like ears and tail - so if you've seen me try to head my head or my butt, uh, yeah, that's why. Now some of you may be asking why I've been hiding this because we've got literal animals and demons walking and talking around this world like it's no biggie.

IT IS A SUPER BIGGIE IN MY WORLD. Like, no one thinks gods and magic actually exist??? I sure didn't! No one told me about this "blessing" until it happened to me like a few weeks before I came here! And I freaked out and nearly destroyed my home and temple! I'm already a huge target for bullying at my school, this would be infinity times worse! There is this ritual to seal up the Panda but this place grabbed me before we could do it!

But this world is different. Yeah, obviously. But like... everyone's so nice? And understanding? Plus while the idea of a giant Red Panda sounds super silly, that form of mine is actually really strong, so it could help fight monsters here and stuff. So... I'm not going to try and hide it anymore. As long as I'm here, I'm going to try and embrace it a little more. So, I guess, that's everything.

Wait no one last thing - If my mom ever comes here please don't tell her about any of this! Okay now I'm done.

Sounds like pandamonium.

[Bet you never heard THAT ONE before!!!!1]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

WHY

[skyglider]

Unbearable, I know.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

this is actually not helping even a little bit

[skyglider]

Ah [For a second he doesn't respond, a thoughtful dot of ink appearing. At last, someone calls him on his bullshit...and it's a 13-year-old. But really, he should have known better.]

It takes courage to reveal such a secret. I shouldn't have made light of it. I'm sorry

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ fortunately, she's not one to hold a grudge. we can still be pals! ]

it's okay

i guess if the shoe was on the other foot, i'd be making dumb puns in an effort to lighten the mood

[skyglider]

Nonetheless, it must be a heavy burden to bear

[... ... ... wait--]

that one was unintentional. I promise. Sorry.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ all right, now she's amused ]

i'm starting to think you can't help it =P

[skyglider]

[Well, at least she's not mad this time.]

It can't be helped. There are so many good options.

["""good"""]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

all right, now that we've got the puns out of the way, do you have any questions, or...???

[ to her, how do you not have questions??? ]

[skyglider]

Why? Will there be a test?

[Listen Links go through some weird crap okay]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

this doesn't surprise or shock you at all????

[skyglider]

Should it?

[Okay let's give that a try]

Wow! This is surprising and shocking!

[skyglider]

[... In all seriousness, though:]

You've shared something deeply personal, and offered to use that secret to help others. Asking more seems...invasive.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ this guy's full of sass, but she can't hate him for it. ]

i just assumed people would wanna know, curiosity and all

but thanks, that felt kind of nice to read

[skyglider]

Most likely. It sounds remarkable.

... In my world, there are legends of an ancient hero who could turn into a wolf.

[You know, just so she knows she's not the only one.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

you mean like a werewolf?

[ because that's pretty much more badass and sexier than a were-panda. ]

[skyglider]

A what

[Goddess help them if TP!Link ever does show up oh boy]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

it's a guy who transforms into a half man half wolf monster under the full moon! it's one of the cooler monsters

[skyglider]

Ah. No. Just the regular type, I think.


[This sticker appears, and he draws an arrow pointing to it. Like that, see?]

That does sound cool though

[itsgunnabe_mei]

oh

that is pretty cute though

[ disappointing, but cute! ]
