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?

Ah- I suppose you- [Uh. UH.] left right around the time I came back to Union. I've been staying with my cousin at the Hikawa Shrine. You must be impressed I've been here for a whole two months.

[And then theres this squack from behind and a flurry of feathers before there is a Fletchling peering closely at the screen. FLETCH!!!!]

[Hina says hello Martin. She thought you were dead??? Omg.]

Hina, shhh. It's okay, he got better.

[warriormouse]

[He laughs]

It is--

[And then there's Hina and oh no.]

I'm not dead Hina. I'm Enlightened now.

[underwearfortomorrow]

[Oh. She fluffs up, tilts her head and chirps. Well, thats okay then. Good! Being dead is bad for your health.]

He picks her up and moves her cause she fits in the palm of his hand.]

What do you plan to do now? Will you go back to the Swords?

[warriormouse]

[So cute]

Not right away, no. I think I want to travel a little, see more of the world and maybe find some answers. I was thinking about that before, but now I have a good reason to go.

[underwearfortomorrow]

Travelling always does a soul good, I think. There is a lot to see beyond our city walls.

[He's got some stories, that's for sure.]

Where did you wake up, if you don't mind me asking?

[warriormouse]

The Forest Shrine. Boar was there, as was my sword.

[underwearfortomorrow]

The Forest Shrine... [He has heard things about that place. Maybe he'll go an check it out.]

I see.

[And then that thoughtful look is gone and he's smiling again.]

You should come visit the shrine. I think your return ought to warrant a celebration of some sort.

[warriormouse]

[He smiles]

I will. I don't think they're going to let me out for a few days, probably to make it easier to get me to fill out the paperwork, but I'll come visit as soon as I can.

[underwearfortomorrow]

I can't imagine what sort of paperwork that's going to be, but good luck. Hina and I will look forward to your visit.

[He grins brightly for a moment.]

Welcome back, Martin.
