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?

Comments

[warriormouse]

Hungry and more than little disturbed. Otherwise, I think I'm still in shock.

[faithfulflame]

Well, eating would obviously fix the first problem.

As for the second...well...honestly I'd like to have a look at you in person. It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong, but this is a video, after all.

[warriormouse]

I'm hoping they'll let me out of here soon so I can find some food that actually tastes good. Which temple do you work at?

[faithfulflame]

Hikawa Shrine, in Ninetales Vale. And my name is Rei Hino. I see you know my cousin already.

[warriormouse]

Cousin?

[faithfulflame]

Eiji.

[warriormouse]

Oh.

[A pause]

Sorry for upsetting him.

[faithfulflame]

It's alright, he gets emotional about people he likes.

[warriormouse]

I'm still sorry. My name is Martin, by the way.

[faithfulflame]

It's nice to meet you, Martin-san. When you're released, feel free to come by the shrine and I'll see what I can do.

[warriormouse]

I will, thank you.
