Nathaniel's A Real Soul Man.

Nathaniel's A Real Soul Man.
Past!Nathan to Dan Aykroyd TF/Possession theme.
NOTE:
This is a possession story based on several dreams i've had, all coincidentally being Dan Aykroyd related, specifically of my character being possessed by him and turning into him. I decided to make this a Ghosts homage too.  Only in this case instead of the Mayor,  we have the past version of my character.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nathaniel L.Forester/Drmusic2 was what you might call a child of darkness, he was obsessed with horror and monsters and hung around with a group of friends who shared that obsession. Not only was he obsessed with supernatural powers but he wanted to have them too and it was one of the biggest themes in his song parodies in the Song Parodyverse unfortunately the admins questioned his taste and attacked him for being weird.  All he wanted to do was show his love of Jay Leno (a comedian he idolized) to people on there but they thought he was weird and that it wasn't right.  'Yeah sure, you totally don't mind me being into MST3K even though that show has been around since the late 80's and you don't mind me being into monsters even those have been around since forever but it's Jay Leno they drew the line at?', it was made even worse when a user pretty much posed as a fake Jay Leno and usurped him with an insulting song parody.  It wasn't his fault, it was hers...she and that other user, who toyed with his emotions and claimed to be into him only to reveal she was evil and that she was preying on him. 'Did the officials help? Fuck no. They called me insane and then the chief made a fucking petition to ban me. If it wasn't for the chief and his goons I wouldn't be in this predicament.'

He was often misunderstood,  he didn't consider his work to be perfect...he just wanted to be accepted,  he cosplayed as a monster version of John Candy for halloween and even did a makeup tutorial of himself as a three-eyed alien musician.  He was a big Saturday Night Live fan and was in particular a fan of John Belushi,  and he wrote himself up a transformation guides episode of him in character as Belushi.  Of course what he didn't know is that ultimately this would lead to him being followed online by an actual Werebelushi,  the most infamous one of all.

At the time he didn't realize this,  as he had taken a personality quiz to see which SNL cast member he was most like since he himself didn't know which member he was among his group of friends.  The result he got was John Belushi. 'Alright, i'm a Belushi. Perfect.' 'Oh a Belushi, huh?' He turned around and saw That Werebelushi In The Shades sardonically sitting on the chair next to the one he was sitting in.  The John Belushi lookalike with fur and claws looked over at him. 'Woah...a werebelushi. Are you real?'

"Of course i'm real...and so many of the other monsters that you love so much."

"You know I love monsters?"

"Yep...and that's awesome. You know I always knew that you were a horror fan.  Love your makeup tutorials and cosplays by the way, you really know how to get into character. I love that in a reviewer.  You would make an awesome horror host."

"Thanks...i've always wanted to host my show like Elvira or Joe Bob Briggs."

"You like Elvira and Joe Bob Briggs? Oh boy...Nathan told me that i'd like you and he was right."

Werebelushi looked around, seeing all of Nathaniel's posters and horror memorabilia fascinated him including his magazines. 'I didn't know you also are a reader of Haunting World Mysteries. That's my favorite magazine next to Fangoria.'  'Yeah...it's really interesting. All of those ghost stories and monster bios, and of course...the sights of famous serial killers.'  'Oh, don't forget the Horrorific Urban Legends page. Or as I call them....Creepypastas done right.'  'Oh hell yeah.'  'I gotta admit you've got a great taste in horror, my friend.' There were posters for An American Werewolf In London, Cat People, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Lost Boys, Ghostbusters,  Hellraiser, Nightbreed, The Fly, Beetlejuice, and several others along with a Blues Brothers poster.

That's the poster that caught the big ol furball's eye. 'This looks just like the one Jake and Elwood put up to advertise their concert in the first movie.'  'I got that from that book you gave me.' 'You mean Blues Brothers Private?' 'Yeah, thanks for giving me that by the way. And thanks for introducing me to SNL.'  'No problem...say, you look like the kind of guy who wants to have a bit of spooky fun.'  'You've come to the right man, Mr Werebelushi.' 'No problem...come on, I have something really amazing to show you that is horror themed.'

Black smoke filled the air for a few seconds as Matthias/Werebelushi showed Nathaniel, his car...it was a sleek black tuck and roll hearse that was fixed up for racing, there was a grotesque green rat-monster sitting in the back making some rather twisted funny faces.  'Woah...that looks like a hearse, only all Ratfinked up.'  'Well yeah, that's because it is.'  'You even have a life size Ratfink in the back seat.'  This hearse had a few vampire themed touches. 'It's not just a Ratfink..it's a bat-fink.'  'You know i've heard that this hearse has a curse.'  'I wonder if Haunting World Mysteries has talked about it.'  'They probably have, after all...it's a true story. And there ain't nothing worse than a hearse with a curse.'  'Ooh, just like in the song. I love that song.  That song is my favorite halloweeny song ever.'  'It's even got a Transylvanian licence plate on it.' 'Heh heh heh...this is awesome.'  'I can see you're a bit of an Aykroyd.'

"What?"

"I said you're a bit of a Dan Aykroyd when it comes to your horror and paranormal love..."

"Did you say i'm an Aykroyd? Oh no no...i'm a Belushi."

"I don't know...you don't seem like you could be a Belushi type to me."

"That's what that personality quiz told me."

"I know things that quiz doesn't...and what I know might shock you."

"Heh heh..is that so?  Well I happen to really enjoy shocking/scary things."

"Yep,  that's an Aykroyd trait alright."

Nathaniel obviously didn't take too kindly to be compared to Dan Aykroyd,  who he viewed as being uncool or nerdy even though he really was just like Dan,  he just refused to admit that part though.   He adjusted his long brown hair for a few minutes while dusting off his Freddy Krueger shirt with the stripes that was made to mimic Freddy's sweater.  His signature dark eye-makeup and his fingernail extensions which he had painted a sort of blackish color to make it look like he had claws made him look he had the look of a horror host.  'Nice claws.' 'Thanks, I did these myself.  I got inspired by your look and decided to do my own version.'  'It certainly suits you.'

He chuckled to himself although he still felt that Mathias/Werebelushi was teasing him with the Aykroyd thing, he decided that just because he had a liking for scary things that he would give it a go. 'Alright...what do you want to show me?'.  Matthias/Werebelushi pulled out a Crystal Head bottle. 'There's this game I play called the Judgement Test.'  'How does it work?'  'Basically we whisper into the skull and the skull will tell us your result.' Nathaniel picked up the skull and whispered into it, and as he could he could hear the skull talking back to him.  'Oooh...I think the skull is speaking to me.'  'Oooh,  you're definitely an Aykroyd.'  'Oh no i'm not,  i'm a Belushi...don't you even dare think otherwise. I am a Belushi.'

The skull's eyes glowed for a few seconds as he shrugged his shoulders, determined to prove his furry friend wrong,  he was a Belushi...or rather that's what he thought.  The skull spoke to him and beckoned him to come closer,  which he did.  Only for the skull to shake as a spirit jumped out of it,   the spirit appeared in the form of a specter with a skull-like face. 'Nice special effect, Belush. I didn't know you could do this.'  'It's not a special effect, it's real.' 'A-A-real ghost?' He looked around and jumped back when he saw the spirit.  'Yep, he's real...say hi to him.'  Nathaniel timidly looked up at the spirit and greeted him, the spirit then chuckled at him and transformed.

The spirit took on the form of a familiar person, that familiar person being Dan Aykroyd. 'Hello, did I scare you?' 'Cute trick Aykroyd, but you didn't frighten me that much.'  'I guess i'm going to have to try harder next time.'  'Not likely since there won't be a next time.' Dan shook his head and chuckled. 'I definitely think there is going to be one.  How about this?' 'Okay...show me.  Show me something scary.'

'Is this scary?' Aykroyd asked, making a series of goofy faces.  'No, that's actually funny.'  'How about this? Is this scary?' he pulled another series of comedic faces in an attempt to scare Nathaniel. 'Nah, it's still funny...you can't scare me. You're too adorable to be scary.' 'Oh well...how about this? Is THIS scary?'  He placed his hands on his face and stretched out his mouth before ripping his face off to reveal the skull spirit's head underneath, and then he smashed the skull spirit's head revealing his normal head.  'Okay...how did you do that? Some kind of clever special effect?'.  'It's no special effect...this is all real.' 'Impressive...you know your stuff.' 'And so do you, you're just like me.' 'Me? Like you?  No offense Aykroyd,  but you've got me all wrong.'

"Hey...wanna see something scary."

"Right now?"

"Yeah...i've got something really scary to show you.  Do you want to see it?".

"Yeah sure..."

"Alright...do you want to see it?"

"Go ahead...show me,  I can handle it."

Aykroyd chuckled to himself as he turned around,  thinking of how fun it would be to frighten Nathaniel.  Nathaniel kept a close eye on him, so far he hadn't be scared by anything the Canadian ghostly comedian was doing...hopefully he'd be able to get some scares this time. 'Are you ready?' 'I sure am..' 'Alright then..'  'What are you doing?'.  Without warning, Aykroyd transformed into a creature that looked like a Superghoul version of himself crossed with the monster from the opening of the Twilight Zone movie. 'How about now?'  'Yikes! Okay...okay! You got me!'. 

Nathaniel screamed as he saw this,  all of the time he had spent pretending he wasn't scared...he lost some of his brash and overconfident facade as soon as Aykroyd took on a transparent form and entered his mouth and went down his throat, possessing him in the process. 'Aykroyd! Get out of me this instant.'  'I'm going to have some fun in this body for a bit.'  Within a matter of minutes Nathaniel found himself breaking out into several Aykroydian dance moves, he wanted to resist but he just couldn't...and even found himself enjoying it.

His heart skipped several beats before his stomach gurgled,  as it did...he began to feel weird as he felt like he wasn't himself...he looked at his arms just in time to see them broadening, his hands also enlarged in the process while his skin slowly aged itself up...specifically from his current 'age' to 67 as his chest and torso broadened, his Freddy striped shirt was straining a little but it grew to accompany his growth as his stomach inflated.  He groaned a little as his rear inflated a little and his legs grew to match his arms,  that's when he noticed his feet changing to match in terms of size and two of the toes on both feet becoming webbed.  His back broadened as did his shoulders and he slowly shot up in height to 6'1.

In the process he has being charged with supernatural energy as his DNA altered, making him half-supernatural which was something he always wanted. He panicked as his neckline altered, a few seconds after that and his long messy dark brown hair shortened but became wavy as a pair of clean shaven sideburns formed on the cheeks on his face.  His forehead enlarged as his brow altered,  his eyebrows thickened and arched.  His eyes widened,  one of them turned green while the other remained brown.  He felt his nose as it enlarged and a cleft/dimple materialized in the middle of it,  he twitched his new nose for a few seconds before feeling his face.  'I look like Aykroyd! This won't do at all...i'm supposed to be this cool badass who rules the night as a child of darkness.'  'But Aykroyd IS cool and now so are you.'

A few sets of brown hairs  sprouted on his arms and on the top half of his chest and on his stomach,  he felt his face for a few seconds as his features slowly morphed and reshaped themselves...looking less and less like her own and more like they were Dan's features as his lips altered, becoming a bit kissable as his jawline broadened.  His features contorted even further until he fully resembled Dan Aykroyd, but he kept his eye-makeup and nail extensions and the 'goth' aesthetic he was going for.   He was horrified but oddly fascinated. 'Alright, Dan...you had your fun now get out of me.'  'No can do,  i'm  not done yet.'  'What is there possibly to do?'.

He coughed as his voice gruffened and altered, deepening and contorting into a copy of Dan's voice complete with his accent becoming a Canadian one. He gasped...'My voice...oh that's just great, I sound like him too.'  Having Dan's voice as well as his appearance shocked him,  he felt i was like a look that didn't suit him...he always thought of Aykroyd as 'uncool' and 'dorky' but watching himself turn into him made him realize how right Matthias/Werebelushi was but he denied it.

His mind altered along with his personality, giving him Dan's memories and personality as traces of his normal persona faded away...as if his true self was actually showing itself. 'No...I'm not an Aykroyd, i'm a Belushi type...i'm not an Aykroyd.' 'You look and sound like Dan Aykroyd to me.' 'That's not true...i'm nothing like him.'  He held his head as he attempted to keep Dan's personality from taking over,  but alas he didn't prevail.  A few seconds later and Dan fully took over him, where the former Nathaniel was there was now Dan Aykroyd.

"I told ya you were an Aykroyd, Danny."

"Oh yeah...how could I forget?  All this time I was confused as to who and what I was. I let other people judge me for my interests, but you understand me.  You remind me so much of John.  John was always a very good to me."

"Never forget that you are Dan Aykroyd and you are an unique and fascinating guy."

"I know...I love my paranormal obsession."

"So do your friends and i'm one of them."

Dan chuckled as he hugged his friend,  his friend Matthias/Werebelushi was a monster...yes, but he was a good friend of his and he was always there to keep him company.  Both of them enjoyed each-other's company and went on oddball paranormal adventures together.  'You're the best friend I could ever have.'  'I'm no John or James Belushi.' 'Oh but you're definitely similar to John and that makes you the perfect friend.  I love your ideas.'  'Are you up for a reading session?' 'Oh you bet...got some good scary stories to read.' 'Yep.'  Matthias/Werebelushi pulled out a collection of horror novels and picked out a few ghost ones that he and Dan could read together.  'Shall we?' 'Indeed we shall...let's get scary.'  'Heh heh.' And thus with that the duo sat down and read a selection of horror tales from the book, both of them were really getting into characters as they acted out what the characters were doing...as for what happened later they acted out the stories and showed their story to their companions. 

And thus brings us to the lesson of the story, sometimes even though you may think you know who and what you are things can come along and change your view on them. And maybe just maybe you'll find that there's something a little bit supernatural about yourself in general, sometimes it's fun to be scared...no matter how brave some people think they are.
