024 [video/action] [backdated to 8/2]

[It's a lovely evening in Ecruteak City. Lovely enough for Larry to go up and find a nice view of the city to draw and paint. His Pokemon are out of their Pokeballs and lounging around while Larry sits in silence, scribbling away in his sketchbook. He's not really sure why inspiration struck him so hard today, but he has a feeling it's because today marks an entire year in Johto for him. Mostly, he believes he just needs to space out and draw for once. His mind has been on battling and gyms far too much, and since he finally got the Fog badge, he can relax for a bit.

He's drawn many things in the couple hours spent in that spot. He's drawn his Pokemon, his friends, and even friends that left a long time ago. So many memories, and so many to come. But his biggest piece of the evening is a pastel drawing of the city itself.

Adding the last few swatches of color to the drawing, he looks it over, then sighs. It's a happy sigh. Mission accomplished!]

Woooobbuffet!

[Wobbuffet looks equally accomplished, looking at that drawing.

Larry grins, patting his starter's head.]

Glad you like it, Wobbuffet. Here's to another year, huh?

Wobba Wobba!

[Since Larry's rather proud of his drawing of Ecruteak, he decides to turn his 'Gear on and show it off. Thus, the feed begins with a shot of the drawing. It's actually pretty good, even for Larry.]

Hey guys, whatcha think? Not too shabby, huh? [He grins,] Guess I'm not rusty at the whole art thing yet!

Oh, and uh... [He looks a little awkward, trying to think of what to say here,] Happy one year for you guys who landed in Johto a year ago today. Hard to believe we've actually stuck around this long. Not that that's a bad thing to me. Here's hopin' the crazy things'll get toned down in the year to come.

Heh, who am I kidding? It wouldn't be Johto without the crazy things!

Make it four, Edgey. [YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS.]

[ Larry gets a video in return, Miles looking amused. ]

You're ahead of me again. I'd won my third one just awhile ago.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[Larry returns the video comment.]

Oh yeah? Where'd you get your third?

[miniworth]

Olivine. I have a lot of fire types on my team, so it wasn't too difficult.

[usedrefresh.livejournal.com]

Not bad, dude.

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Thanks, man.

[Video]

[usedrefresh.livejournal.com]

No problem. So today's really your one-year anniversary, dude?

[Barney has joined Larry wherever he is, and has managed to obtain some alcohol for them. It's a good night for drinking. He's kind of looking over at Larry's picture, slightly jealous because he can't draw, and well, it's making him miss Lily. And missing Lily is making him miss Marshall, and missing Marshall is making him miss Ted, and missing Ted is making him miss Robin. Not to mention his brother and his mom and wow has it really been a year?]

Guess it's really been a year, huh?

[action]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[Broooo.

Larry nods, accepting said alcohol from his friend. He takes another look out toward the city, then back to his picture.]

I just can't believe it's been a year and I haven't seen all of this place yet. I'm only half-way there!

[action]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no kidding. I don't think I've ever done so much travelling since I got here.

[Video]

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's really nice, mister!

Umm... Do you think Johto would be a lot more calmer without the crazy things?

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Definitely. There'd always be some excitement though, since you can't have Pokemon without excitement. But I really like Pokemon, so I wouldn't want it any other way.

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Heeh... So you're basically one of the guys who enjoy living life dangerously.

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

That's a really good drawing! Are you an artist?

[ video ]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[Oh man, cute girl on the 'Gear. Larry approves of this. Cue attempt to impress the girl.]

Heh, thanks. Weeell, I guess you could say I am? I used to do art as my job, but it's more of a hobby now. I like to make things too. Sculptures and stuff, y'know?

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

As your job? Wow. I draw and paint sometimes, but I'm not nearly that good!

[ In that she would be dirt poor if she tried to make a living off of her "art." ]

And I've never tried making a sculpture.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Not bad!

So you've been here a whole year now, huh?

Pretty wild, isn't it.

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Thanks Heather!

It is! Should I consider myself lucky for stickin' around so long?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Well, there ARE a lot of people who don't seem to last longer than a few months...

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

That's pretty good. Definitely not shabby at all.

But I think I can live without some of the crazy things, thanks.

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[So many cute girls today what is this.]

Good to hear! Thanks.

I like some of 'em, but I could definitely skip on the ones that can hurt you.

[video] P.S. this is Auste, another Butz

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Especially the Shedinja. They got me good. [Not proud at all.]

[bemykismesis.livejournal.com]

You'we been here for a whole year?

[Jesus, now that he thinks about it, Soul's been here for almost a year himself.]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Time flies, man.

[video]

[eclectical]

That looks really nice!

Wow, you've been here a whole year... ? [Jade still finds it hard to believe that she's been here for almost seven whole months herself... She definitely doesn't mind it, though! It's preferable to what was going on back in her universe.]

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[Larry nods.] Yep. It's kinda crazy, really. 'cause some people are only here for weeks or a couple months. But I've stuck around.
