Fun little Datastream Defender (Vtuber?) Martyn jumping out of DS for some reason

Multiverse.

"Vtuber! Martyn and Life! Martyn are the same person but also not really"

So they are a Heartless and a Nobody-

So I'm gonna design a bunch of keyblades and make Martyn look like a FF protag-

[beansfrombeans]

It's not every day you almost hit somebody with your car - but then again, it's not every day that the somebody in question falls directly out of the sky and into the road in front of you.

Oli slams the brakes as fast as he can physically manage, parks the car, hops out. (If traffic comes up behind him on a little road like this, only a couple of streets from his house, then they can wait for him to check on the body before he lets them past, alright?) Lying in front of him, tensed but not appearing to be grievously injured, is a man.

"Hello?"

The man's eyes flick open, his gaze wild and alert at once, and he scrambles back across the tarmac. "Who are you?"

"No - no, I'm not - you just fell in front of my car, that's all, I'm not a cop or anything."

"Don't need to be a cop to be dangerous," the stranger insists, fists balling against the road as though he'd rather be reaching for a weapon. "Where is this?"

"You're - we're in Sheffield," he hazards, "like, north Sheffield, not in the middle of town or anything. How did you fall out of the sky like that?"

"Sheffield?" the man repeats.

"Yeah?"

"What's your name?"

"Er - I'm Oli. Oliver."

The stranger stares at Oli like he's trying to bore a hole through to the other side of his skull. "OrionSound?"

Oli pauses. How in the everliving fuck does this random stranger know his gamertag, of all things? "What? Yes. What?"

"Right," the stranger mutters, "not over yet, I guess." He hops up, offers a hand, which Oli, bewildered, shakes. "My name is Martyn."

Ah - that would explain it. If, albeit, it is still a fucking insane coincidence. "You've been in some of our lobbies before. How did you work that out from name and location?"

Martyn stops short. "Hold on. Lobbies?"

"Yeah - on Pirates, right? And Rats. I always just sort of assumed you must be mates with Owen or something."

"Lobbies like - like in-game?"

"... Yes?"

Martyn looks around, as though he's processing this quiet side street for the very first time. He flexes his fingers on either side, half-concealed under fingerless gloves. Then he makes eye contact with Oli again. "Let me just get this straight. You've met me in-game, and this is not that. This is real."

"Yeah," Oli frowns, "what? Of course this is real. I'm sorry, am I missing something?"

And Martyn laughs, mirthless, like Oli's not privy to the greatest cosmic joke he can imagine. "Little bit, yeah. Right. I did get out. And I'm in Sheffield, and OrionSound of all people found me. And… I need to call my mum."

"You want my phone?"

"Oh, god, not now, I need a minute."

Against his better judgement, Oli makes a choice. "Well, if you need somewhere to go, just for a bit, we're not far from my house?"

Martyn laughs again. "Right! Sure. Let's do that. Fuck. Fucking hell, you've got a car, been a hot minute since I've seen one of those. Let's go."

So that's how Oli ends up letting Martyn, a man he's never met before but also knows quite well, into his car and into his home. It's not even one o'clock yet.

(part two here)

very random lore thought that probably isn't anything: what if the datastream is, or is somehow inside of, life series!martyn?

we know they're somehow connected. even in the vtuber debut trailer, that's shown – last life!martyn is falling through the void, and is touched by a being which, from limited life's ending, we can assume to be a listener. martyn's eyes open, filled with light and tinged listener-yellow... and we find ourselves in the 'real world', with martyn encountering doc right afterwards. we also know the fourth chapter of his lore is called 'fragment wars'... which gave birth to this train of thought.

what if the LOOT shards and sites of conflict around them are (smaller) fragments, or locations of potential fragments, in life series!martyn's soul – not the ones from the games, since those are too large and caused by too traumatic of an event, but the ones caused by smaller conflicts between watchers and listeners? CHEST is a representation of the watchers' influence, and have a much stronger hold on the Datastream (aka on martyn), whereas Doc is a listener agent – probably a representation within martyn's mind of the listener that touched life!martyn in the void, causing him to awaken in the trailer. this means that, with his help, datastream!martyn is trying to fight the watcher influence within himself/life!martyn, and potentially trying to prevent more of his soul from fracturing, too (protecting fragments). these are the 'fragment wars', taking place both within the datastream and life!martyn.

(and re doc and listeners, both are entities that, though what they're doing seems 'good'/beneficial, there's no actual evidence for this – and cc!martyn has mentioned this as well, for both entities independently.)

other evidence/additions:

martyn has said he's left the lore open enough so any amount of series could be happening at any one time without disrupting anything, and this would fit that criteria. multiple conflicts within life!martyn can be happening at the same time.

the obvious: purple LOOT shards, watchers are associated with purple (fragments are also tinged purple BUT that could also be because we see them in the watchers' domain, in which everything is tinged purple). by itself this wouldn't be too much of a coincidence, but since we know the lore is connected, it's more likely it's not.

CHEST is a large megacorporation that has a lot of influence over game worlds – this does match up to the watchers, which re martyn's lore do watch over/have a hold over all minecraft servers. ie, multiple game worlds are being looked over (and influenced) by both.

doc's words in this ask: "You know as well as I do that C.H.E.S.T have cameras EVERYWHERE". cameras as in... they're Watching everything? every one of their game worlds?

this would explain why datastream!martyn wouldn't recognise ren, grian etc as repeating presences in worlds he encounters – as datastream!martyn, he hasn't encountered them before. the life series doesn't take place in the datastream, but completely outside of it – therefore, he's never met them before. datastream!martyn at least seems to think he had a full life before falling into the datastream, with memories that probably don't include anyone from the life series at all.

not evidence, but it would be quite nicely meta, considering minecraft!martyn is literally data (and in a way even the image of martyn we see as viewers is, though obviously he's a real person). the concept of the watchers was originally very meta as well – they're representative of the audience – so it wouldn't be something that hasn't been done with aspects related to this lore before!

evidence against:

mainly, the world datastream!martyn comes from seems to be our world – in addition to how it's presented, we also know time in the datastream passes at the same rate as time in our world, we know datastream!martyn keeps up with news from that world, etc. this could be hard to reconcile with the idea that it's representative of life!martyn's consciousness, and can't really be explained by the fact he datastream!martyn was made to think this world existed.

why are there different game worlds? how does this relate to anything here?

a lot of other stuff probably

overall, i'm not sure how strong this theory is – it explains some things, but not others, and seems to fit in with the life series lore a lot more than the wider datastream lore and context. but it's not out of the realm of possibility, and very interesting to consider!
