2nd blade ⚔ video

[santouryuu]

[Behold, it's a pirate. A pirate that's significantly less blood-covered than the first time he tried to use the network, and look--he's even got the camera more or less appropriately centered. Progress.]

I'm lookin' for a job.

[There's only so long one can go without money, even if there are people who give free food to imPorts sometimes.]

I can do most things, though my best skills're as a swordsman, if you need a bodyguard or security or somethin' like that.

[Sure enough, there's three (three!!!) swords sheathed at his side. What kind of swordsman fights with three swords? Well, here's your chance to find out.]

Only thing I won't do is cut down people for whatever personal grudges you might have. You can sort out that kinda shit yourselves.

--Oh yeah, and I ain't joinin' anything officially; I've already got a crew to get back to, so. I'll work for you, but it's gonna be a temporary sort of thing. Got it?

[He....thinks on this.]

And you're sure this guy was a pirate?

[SQUINTS.]

...I guess we really are from different places, then.

[ret2go]

He definitely used to be a pirate. Do you stop being a pirate if you become an undead skeleton thing?

[santouryuu]

[It's too bad he's not at a canonpoint where he knows Brook or he could confidently say no to that question. Instead:]

Probably not? If you still keep your personality and shit, anyway, hell if I know how that works.

...But there weren't any 50-foot undead pirates who were fought by genies where I'm from. So.

[shrugs???]

[ret2go]

That you know of.

Maybe he's from the other side of the ocean.

[santouryuu]

Nah. The World Government would still know about him. They're in charge of all four of the Blues and the Grand Line.

[ret2go]

...okay, yeah, I'm coming up blank with any more alternatives. Guess it really is a different world.

[santouryuu]

There was some guy who said his whole planet got eaten. It's weird, I thought it was impossible too, at first.

[And yet he's not 100% sold that this isn't his world, either. There's been nothing actively contradicting the possibility, anyway, aside from the fact that nobody had heard of the Grand Line....but that doesn't mean this place can't just be remote, somehow]

[ret2go]

Eaten? Like... chomp, chomp, yum?

Wow, someone must have been really hungry.

[santouryuu]

He said "darkness" did it. I dunno how.

[Beat.]

Or if darkness can even get hungry, honestly.

[ret2go]

I don't know if dark magic can get hungry, but I probably wouldn't want to chance it.

[santouryuu]

Good thing I don't have anything like that, I guess.

[ret2go]

Yes. I too have never been adversely affected in any way by powerful dark magic.

[Boy, that is a suspicious denial, Shantae.]

[santouryuu]

[Eye-brows....raising....]

...Uh-huh.

[ret2go]

Don't look at me like that.

[santouryuu]

Like what.

[The look remains in place.]
