[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?

Two months ago in a routine disturbance of the peace and mugging. It was an accident.

...Looking pretty alive for a dead guy. I guess "I'm back" would be an appropriate response. Not sure I can help with a recap, though.

I appear to be at least part Ghost-type, which might explain the "alive" part. Sort of, anyway.

[tsunbird]

That would do it, probably. There's a girl around that knows a lot about Ghost types, she masters the Kurain Channeling School up in Ninetails Vale. She might have more insight.

[He's handling this entire conversation with the interest of examining his fingernails. Taking away information, but not being overly invested. Ankh, you're kind of a jerk.]

[He's dealt with worse]

I plan on visiting every temple, shrine maiden, medium, and exorcist I know. I think I'm okay, but I want to be sure.

[tsunbird]

Probably a decent idea.

Were you aware of being a Ghost type before the accident?

video;

[warriormouse]

I wasn't Enlightened at all. My father was, but he was Normal/Steel.

[tsunbird]

Huh. That's interesting. Perhaps Ghost types have a latent ability.

video;

[warriormouse]

Or I did, at least. I know there are plenty of Ghost Enlightened that have never died.

[tsunbird]

[A thoughtful hum.]

That's interesting.

video;

[warriormouse]

That's a word for it, I suppose. I'm just a little concerned, really.

[tsunbird]

I wouldn't be. You're alive, aren't you? Count your blessings and worry about the "why" when it becomes a problem.

[Martin makes a noise]

I suppose that makes sense. Still, it's strange.
