44th moon [video/action]

[paladinlost]

[Today's backdrop is the Goldenrod Pokémon Center's kitchen. The cameramon would be Noelle the Blissey, considering the soft Bliss, bliss that can be heard. And the foreground?

An omelet. One large enough to feed a whole castle, with cheese and mushrooms and sausage bits. You could practically smell it through the screen.]

It'll not cook faster if you make a video of it, you know.

[The cook arrives, looking tired but much better than he did last time he posted. And this time he apparently doesn't mind the feed.]

How many people here come from worlds with inhabited moons? From what I've heard, we are in the minority.

[He pauses to study the color of the meal.]

If anyone is hungry, come to the Pokémon Center. We have more than enough to share.

[Free food! Who could ask for more?]

Those've gotta be some real strong sheathes there.

[paladinlost]

I only use the highest quality available.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[There's a beat.]

- whoa, you're a swordsman!?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...Yes. Yes, I am.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

Samurai, knight, or chef?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...I'm a paladin, actually. It resembles a knight the most.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

Whoa, that's really cool! What d'you go around doin'? Saving princesses?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I mostly draft new laws, listen to the citizens' grievances and supervise the army's training.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

Like... like a politiadin!?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

That... could be a word for it, I suppose.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

That's real neat.

... wait, if you do military things too, that might make you somethin' more like a sergeant politiadin.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...Would that not be overly long, for a title?

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's probably why they shortened it to just 'paladin', huh.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...None of those duties came from the same source, so no one thought that'd ever be an issue...

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

Oh... so you're like a unique paladin?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Exactly. Paladins are not very common in my world.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

They aren't?

... so they're kinda like Jedi?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...That would depend on what a Jedi is.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

They're like...

... space paladins.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...That would make them like paladins, yes.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

... hey, hey, if you don't mind me askin'-

How'd you go about becomin' a paladin, anyway?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

You defeat and accept your darkness after surviving the zombies on a holy mountain. It's not particularly easy.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

... whoa, no wonder there aren't a whole lotta paladins.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

The number of casualties is high indeed.

[Video]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

You'd probably get a lot more paladins if you lowered th' hiring standards a bit.

Like... "go to a holy mountain an' write an essay about what you'd do if you had to fight a horde of zombies."
