Eighth Sword - Video

[warriormouse]

[Today's video is brought to by a Frosslass with a pen and a paper.

And several angry Pokémon. They have trapped Martin (with the exception of Brigadier, who is holding the Band) so that the sign Tiria wrote and pinned to his shirt can be read.

Martin, meanwhile, is just so done.]

I have a death wish and tried to stay behind with the Savior in the past and probably die.

Again.

This is the second time I've tried to died since coming back to life.

My Pokémon are not happy.

Am I sufficiently shamed, Boar?

[The Doublade hisses and Brig shuts the Band off.]

[Okay. So Martin was going to get a lecture. This takes the wind right out of Yuuna's sails the instant she sees it.

Both she and the Roselia currently sitting in her lap just start laughing. It's almost uncontrollable, except Martin knows her well enough by now to know she can stop laughing whenever she damn well wants.]

Tiria! You...hah! This is exactly right and I couldn't have put a finer point on it!

[Tiria is preening. Martin just hangs his head]

Please don't encourage her.

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

Why not? She raises a very, very valid point.

[Bara nods cheerfully, poking her face closer to the camera.]

Barako agrees. You have no idea what could have happened.

[Ankh can't help but chuff in laughter.]

Noble, I guess, in concept, but probably not the greatest idea, no.

[warriormouse]

I couldn't be sure she was the Savior or that it was her time. I wanted to help.

[tsunbird]

Well you certainly got a cool story out of the deal.

[underwearfortomorrow]

The Savior!?

[warriormouse]

[Martin nods]

I...am only guessing, but it's very likely that Yuuna, Merrill, Banzu, Isabella, Feliks, and I met the Savior before she was the Savior.

[underwearfortomorrow]

[I'm sorry. He nearly gets melted by lava by a monster a billion feet tall KILLING EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH and you get to meet the sAVIOR?!]

[If Eiji were a petty person he might be really annoyed by that, but he's not. Instead he's in shock and staring at Martin like a moron.]

Wh.

[What do you even say to that.]

...What was she like?

Video.

[worldmother]

[ ... ]

No you didn't. There's no such thing.

[ Someone doesn't sound too sure about that statement. ]

Video.

[warriormouse]

I can't be entirely certain, true, but I don't know who else she could be. With that announcement from the gods that we really did see past events...

Video.

[worldmother]

Martin, just because you met a girl in a vision of the past doesn't mean that she's the savior of humanity.

[schmott_guy]

Isn't this sort of thing supposed to happen the other way around?

[warriormouse]

I'm not sure they care.

[victimlessdetails]

See, this is why self-sacrifice is ridiculous.

Because apparently Pokémon will ridicule you for it.

Video

[warriormouse]

Or at least mine will. They're...a bit tired of my "tendency to not think" as Tiria put it.

Video

[victimlessdetails]

They seem to think you're doing it deliberately. Got a problem with being brought back to life, or d'you just think you're invincible now?

Video

[a_gentle_boy]

You saw the Savior?

[Lucas's tones are suitably awed as some color rises to his cheeks. The death wish goes unremarked upon at least for the moment - everyone knows this about Martin already, anyway.]

What was she like?

[He's a bit jealous, honestly. All he saw was a horrible monster.]

Video

[warriormouse]

Very tired. I think she wanted it all to end.

[iamthatis]

[Of all the things to miss, but Matthias couldn't chastise himself too much as he'd been busy attending to Methuselah's last rites at the time all of this happened. Now that he was back though, he couldn't help but shake his head as he walked into the house and put a hand on Martin's shoulder.]

Even if what you did was dangerous...and probably ill advised, it was very brave of you.

[How many other people would have had the fortitude to do such a thing after all? Only his hero, that's who!]

[warriormouse]

[He smiles a bit]

Thank you, Matthias. I told you she was about your age, yes?

[Video]

[niepokonany]

[He's not Martin's biggest fan, but that's actually sort of adorable.]

...I'm kinda surprised Jadwiga hasn't tried something like that on me. She and your Pokemon could like, start some kind of club.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

The "Our Trainers Give Us Headaches" club? At least, that's what Tiria says.

Video.

[future_sight]

[ "Savior?" Well, that was interesting. Something she'd bring up in a second, but, in the meantime, Nozomi is going to laugh at your expense, Martin. ]

That's cute. Somebody's in trouble, I see~

Video.

[warriormouse]

[The Roselia makes a noise]

Laterose would like me to clarify that I'm usually in trouble, but this time they decided to do something about it.
