[Video post]

[The camera clicks on, and Issei's face immediately comes into view. He looks tired and worse for wear, but his eyes are the same old blue that they usually are, and when he lets out a sigh and starts to speak, it's with his own voice.]

Could someone tell me why I've been unconscious for a week?

((Tatsumi supernaturally-powered bitchslapped possessed!Issei into submission. Issei has absolutely no memory of what happened while he was possessed. Any interaction with possessed!Issei we didn't get to may be assumed. Due to computer troubles, I'm making sure to post this now: comments might be a bit later.))

Thank you, Hanamura. I realize that - I gave up looking through the community's posts after the past few days.

Yeah, not to mention that thing that possessed you or whatever was creepy. You feeling okay?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Not really. For one thing, getting people to actually tell me what happened - since I don't remember any of it - seems to be a slow and somewhat painful process.

Creepy possession. Anything else you know?

[mnkeywrenchjams.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I hear you, man. That has to suck.

Not really. After that whole video post, I tried talking to it, and it just told me my words were empty threats. Not much I could do on my end, especially after what happened to Nanako-chan.

Ah! Is she all right? If there's been any progress on rescuing her, I wasn't made aware of it because - for obvious reasons. I'm glad that you focused on saving her, regardless of whatever happened to me.

We got her out, but- she's still in the hospital. The doctors say she's in critical condition, and they aren't letting her have any visitors until she gets better. We're hoping she recovers soon.

I see... My prayers will be with her, if that's worth anything.

Thanks, Issei. It means a lot. Really.

Such is only natural, and not deserving of thanks.
