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.]

I never imagined she was an older woman, but that young? It's shocking.

[tsunbird]

It almost makes more sense, to me. It would take someone with a younger mind to decide to do what-- she? Did.

[schmott_guy]

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

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

You do it without thinking. Just rush in, like there's no way anything can go wrong.

[Siiiiiigh you are dumb.]

But it's strange, isn't it? I shook hands with her.

[warriormouse]

Young, or very desperate. She was both.

[warriormouse]

I'm not sure they care.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

[Yes good, topic change]

And we never thought to get her name.

[tsunbird]

[He nods. It's actually interesting to him, which is saying something considering shitbird.]

What's the saying-- "desperate times call for desperate measures"?

[warriormouse]

Mhm. I wonder what exactly happened--when we were taken back, we were just outside a city they called Mauville and there didn't seem to be nearly enough people to create Union.

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

Honestly? I don't think I want to know. Some things are best left lost to legends.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

I would have liked to know. It would make her more human.

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

But isn't the point that she isn't?

[Yuuna folds her arms, smiling faintly.]

The stories say she's a warrior too. Honestly I'd have been content thinking of her the way I always have. And it's not a truth I'll ever have a chance to investigate, probably.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

I don't know. We hold her up as a paragon but is that really fair, to either her or us?

[He shakes his head]

I've been thinking a lot since we got back.

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

Same. My thoughts are really that...it doesn't matter what her name was. Or if that person was or wasn't the Savior. She was to those people. And if that legend is or isn't true.

History isn't truth, after all.

[tsunbird]

...hm. You don't think "Mauville" just became Union as it grew?

[Video]

[warriormouse]

I guess I just wanted to learn more about her, not what we're told.

video;

[warriormouse]

Not at all. It was more a junkyard than a city.

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

I would too, but I know I'd regret it when my curiosity got the better of me, and I couldn't learn more.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

[Martin just hums]

Are you feeling better?

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

Yeah, I was then too. It was just...I couldn't deal with Gouken being stuck in a Pokeball. Any of my friends, but him most of all.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

My team wasn't too happy about it, but they understood why I didn't let them out. I couldn't scare the survivors. But Pokéballs...ugh.

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

The only one that had a problem with it really was Hyozan, but an Avalugg wasn't...going to fit in there.

[She still marvels at how the devices work.]

Still, it's...that's why I got sick. We've been through so much together, including two other god encounters. I just...

[Video]

[warriormouse]

To be fair, Hyozan doesn't really fit anywhere.

[Poor guy.]

I understand. As long as you're better.

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

Yeah. Think I'm going to be out of the city for a couple of days though. We need some time to...refocus things I think.

[Video]

[warriormouse]

That sounds like a great plan, actually. I may make a trip of my own...finally.
