First Sword | Video

[warriormouse]

[He'd heard they had video on the Warp Bands but his old one hadn't had that feature. Maybe it's a good thing this one does.

Martin is in a room in the medical center when he starts it. Which is the problem. He died. He's not supposed to be back in the medical center two months later decidedly not dead and an Enlightened!

But he's back and now he has to adjust to these sharp little claw-nail-things on his fingers on top of everything else. What is his life?

Before Martin gets a chance to say anything, a Budew grabs the band and starts poking at it.]

No, Laterose, not right now.

[The Budew goes out of sight and Martin focuses it back on him with a sigh]

Um. I...I'm not quite sure what to say right now. I'm back? Is that what you say when you die and wake up two months later in the Forest? Is this normal for Enlightened?

[He clearly has more questions but cuts himself off]

Anyway. Could someone catch me up on the last two months?

[This face]

Really?

[rainsrespite]

Hey, stranger body modifications have happened. I don't pretend to be an expert.

[warriormouse]

Yes, but this is me. Really, why would I want that?

[Video]

[missleadingquestions]

[This call comes in about a day or two late, but--]

So... I heard you were in need of a certain medium?

What's this about dying and waking up?

[Video]

[warriormouse]

I died in an accident two months ago. I woke up in the Forest Shrine a few days ago, and now I'm Enlightened. I seem to be Ghost type.

[rainsrespite]

Who can say, really? I can't read minds, you know.

[Another snort of laughter.]

How sharp are they?

[warriormouse]

Not very, but enough that it's annoying if I forget and prick myself or someone. They'll take some getting used to.

Its a little hard to pull someone into anything when your 'hand' weakens them. [ Poor Boar. Laulyse thinks the honedge could probably poke Martin in the back with that sheath if he really wanted to. That could work. ]

... I think if he hasn't decided to do so already, its for good reason. [ Laulyse don't give his pokemon Ideas.... ]

[warriormouse]

I buy his food. That's the only thing Boar likes more than me.

Video

[radiantwingedone]

That would do it. [ Laulyse looks sceptical for a moment, but does nod. Providing good food is acceptable for not getting jabbed.

"... Speaking of food-" Duke makes a face. Apparently its time that she needs to make sure he ate. ]

I can take a look through the records if you like. I'm in the histories often enough. For anyone dying and coming back enlightened.

[warriormouse]

If you find anything, I would love to hear about it. Even if it's just about trauma causing Enlightened abilities to manifest.

[rainsrespite]

I might have a fix for that, actually. I had a similar problem with Hyozan, my Avalugg. He had this tendency to walk into stuff, and when you're as big as he is, with sharp edges to boot?

[She shrugs and pulls out a little sketch pad, doodling a few small rubber caps.]

I could get some of these made for you, small enough to just go over the claws.

[warriormouse]

[Martin looks over her shoulder.]

Those would actually be really useful, at least until I adjust to them. Thank you.

[Video]

[colorofdeath]

I see...

I've never heard of something like this before.

[Or if she has, she just doesn't recall it.]

[Video]

[warriormouse]

No one has, I think. But it's happened.

[Video]

[colorofdeath]

As for what you missed, there were some...odd disappearances last month. It seemed people were trapped in a strange world, or so I've heard.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

Several people have mentioned that. A friend mentioned Darkrai and Cresslia.

[Video]

[missleadingquestions]

Huh! Well, that sounds like an adventure.

Glad you're back, then!

Iiii'm guessing you don't know much about Ghost types, then?

[Maya seems really at ease with this.]

[Video]

[warriormouse]

I know some.

[Boar floats into view. Martin gestures to him.]

I've had him for a while now.

[rainsrespite]

Sure, no worries.

[Already planning to bug her dad to get it done, in fact.]

Looks like you'll be laid up for a bit, though.

[warriormouse]

At least a week, I imagine. They'll want to get as much paperwork out of me as they can.

[Video]

[missleadingquestions]

Oh-- hey there!

[With a grin, Maya gives Boar a wave.]

So, your name's Martin? It's nice to meet you. I'm Maya Fey, of the Kurain School in Ninetails Vale.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

[Boar waves back.]

Eiji mentioned you, said I should visit when I'm released. I don't think I need a medium, but I...something happened on the way to Union that I would like someone who knows about ghosts and Ghost types look at.

[Video]

[missleadingquestions]

Well, if that's what you need, I'm your gal.

What exactly happened?

[Video]

[warriormouse]

I'm not sure. It might have been a dream but I could have sworn that while I was sleeping I was also walking around the camp.
