Second Sword - Video - Action?

[warriormouse]

[Hi Warp Band users, have a video of a Frosslass.

A Frosslass who, if you understand Pokéspeak, is chiding someone for being so foolish as to come all the way out here when he clearly can't.

Also it's outside on the mountain. What?]

Yes, Tiria, I get it. Give me my Warp Band back, please.

[Still chiding and telling him she's started a feed, she obeys. Martin comes into view--he's in a cave of sorts. He looks...pretty sick. Boar and his Misdreavus are off to the side, giving him Looks while a Swinub cuddles in Martin's lap.]

I...this is embarrassing, but I seem to have pushed myself too much and can't make it back to Union right now. I will be fine, but it may take me a few days to get back. [Boar starts in about how of course he pushed himself too far, he didn't even take a week off before going traveling, training non stop for a week, and hiking to the highest part of the mountain he could feasibly get to. Does he want to die twice?

Martin ignores him]

So...please, don't worry. I'll be fine.

[Martin, have a video of a scowling Yuuna, alright in flight atop a Golurk. She'd been in the mountains training this week, and when she'd seen the message she hadn't bothered to change or do much of anything else. She'd just taken off on Kuroshi, letting Suzume and Howashi come up behind her.]

Martin, how high up are you? And did you take the known trails or one you made yourself? I'm already on my way.

[Scowling? Or worried?]

[warriormouse]

[Long pause]

I...I don't know. I got lost.

[rainsrespite]

East or west side of the mountain, Martin?

[Give her something so she doesn't go tearing the mountain apart.]

Video

[warriormouse]

Tiria?

[Chirp]

Eastish, and she says I'm far from most of the well-used paths.

[rainsrespite]

You have any way to make a signal? I'll be heating east but give me some sort of sign.

[Winging east, Suzume and Howashi make rather loud noises.]

Smoke, have Boar make noise with Metal Sound or something.

[He understands most pokespeak so he's got such a look from start to finish. Okay, he's kind of like "MARTIN WHY" with a dash of "IF YOU DIE TWICE" and a big helping of "OH GOD ARE YOU OKAY!?", which is probably hilarious to observe from the other end.]

[Finally he settles on being worried and exasperated.]

You should listen to Boar.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

No, don't say that. He'll never let me forget if it someone agrees with him.

[Video]

[underwearfortomorrow]

He shouldn't, considering how right he is.

[HE'S KIND OF MAD WHAT WERE YOU EVEN THINKING.]

Unless you're an ice type, you really shouldn't spend more time than you already have up in that mountain.

[He's about four seconds away from calling Maki.]

[warriormouse]

I was looking for a Frosslass. I came prepared, though I did lose my flares, so I thought I was fine.

Voice.

[aerial_ace]

[Martin. You.

She sounds like she's moving, quite quickly at that. And from the sounds in the background--was she in a stable of some kind?]

You have flares in your pack, correct? Or some way to make a fire? [You damn well better young man.]

Voice.

[warriormouse]

I lost my flares, but I do have my fire-starting kit, yes.

Voice.

[aerial_ace]

How long can you keep it burning? What direction are you facing? Can you see anything in the distance? Any landmarks?

--Swanna, come with me. No time to saddle up. I'll get your blanket at least.

[She adjusts a few packs, and there is some shuffling in the background as she speaks.]

Voice.

[warriormouse]

I'm in a cave? I know Yuuna is, um. Probably going kill me when she finds me.

Video.

[worldmother]

Martin! Where are you?! You look terrible!

Of course I'm going to worry about you! You're still recovering! [Idiot!]

Video.

[warriormouse]

I'm on the mountain...and I think a veritable army is coming after me, so please don't worry.

Video.

[worldmother]

Oh, no, you're not getting out of this. I'm letting the nurses know you're on your way.

[Mom mode activated. You're not allowed to fight her, especially not in that state.]

Video.

[warriormouse]

[He groans softly]

I swear, I'm just tired.

[a_gentle_boy]

...I think you might not be.

[That's kind of a harsh thing to say.]

It's very easy to get bad frostbite without realizing it... We have a lot of people coming in from the mountain who are badly hurt.

[The background behind this child is the Medical Center, it's pretty clear, so his meaning is a little more obvious.]

The Rangers should send someone to you if you can't get off the mountain right now.

[warriormouse]

I have at least three of my very angry friends coming to get me. But really, I have the material for a fire and supplies. I'd've been fine.

[a_gentle_boy]

Oh! That's good.

Being out there alone can be dangerous sometimes - all kinds of things could happen.

[Also he already looks pretty weak, so.]

Fire is OK, but people can still get frostbite even with one if the conditions are bad. And it's getting into winter now... There was a lot of commotion on the mountain last year.

[warriormouse]

I have very thick winter wear...though I really should have found a Fire-type before coming here.

[makeitquick]

Weren't you the dead guy I've been hearing on?

[ voice ]

[warriormouse]

...yes. Are they gossiping that badly?

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

Prob gonna double if you're dying twice. Are ya?

[ voice ]

[warriormouse]

No, I'm not. Never had any intention of it, either.
