027 [video]

[failures]

Heeey! Guess who finally saved up enough for that Kanto trip?

[Larry looks excited. Even more excited than he was the last time he posted.]

The date I had last week—which was amazing by the way—set me back a bit, but I finally caught up to get tickets for me and Barney. Just in time too! I'm gonna buy the tickets right after this post.

Man, Kanto's gonna be so awesome. It's like I'll really be living in the video game I played as a kid. I can't wait! 'Course I'll have to come back to get my last badges eventually, but I just have to see Kanto now...

[And there he goes, rambling about Kanto and childhood nostalgia.

Unfortunately...Larry hasn't yet realized that he got the date for the maiden voyage of the magnet train wrong and that he's missed it. Who wants to break the bad news to the poor guy before he finds out the hard way?]

So...more travelling?

[Not going to admit that he's actually ridiculously excited about Kanto because nostalgia and more joys and stuff]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I was thinking we could take a vacation there for the holiday season.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that could be fun, providing the weather's good.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Even if it's not, there's plenty to do indoors, right?

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

That's a good point.

So how'd your date go?

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

It went great! [His entire expression changes as he says that. Larry in love, people.]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

What'd you do?

[He wants all the details, Larry, and damn if you aren't reminding him of Ted at this moment.]

[miniworth]

Of course. I wonder what made me think you wouldn't go.

[Oh Larry you're so excited. It's amusing.]

video.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah, why wouldn't I go?

video.

[miniworth]

I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't, actually. You sound familiar with the city, though.

video.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, it was in the old games. I wonder what it's like in person...and not all blocky.

video.

[miniworth]

It might be three-dimensional.

[But all joking aside.] What was it like, in the games?

video.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

You never know, especially after Halloween last year!

It was pretty big, and it connected to a bunch of other cities. And it had the hot Psychic gym leader. Wonder if she's still around...

video.

[miniworth]

Don't remind me.

I wonder if some people might go on to see the other cities, then.

video.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Probably! I know I sure will.

video.

[miniworth]

Is the system the same, there?

video.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Well, Johto actually had some different stuff like the 'Gear, but I'm guessing Kanto's adapted by now.

video.

[miniworth]

That is definitely interesting... I might take a look around, if Ken and Clover don't mind.

video.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

We could all go on an awesome Kanto adventure!

video.

[miniworth]

I wouldn't mind traveling with you again. It's been a few months.

video.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

More like a year.

[pause]

Has it really been a year...? Jeez, time flies.

video.

[miniworth]

... Yes, actually. [a pause, as well]

I doubt I traveled with anybody from our world since last November.

video.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[He thoughtfully looks off screen.] Those were good times. Simple times.

[... As if they aren't simple times now.]

video.

[miniworth]

Are you sure? I remember it being quite a mess.

[Dahlia Iris Phoenix Apollo Kristoph--]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Weeeeell...minus the drama-filled parts!

[He liked hanging with his non-dangerous friends okay.]

video.

[miniworth]

[He laughs at that. He just laughs.]

Drama. That's true.

[Video]

[regal-azure.livejournal.com]

Kanto? Is that another part of this world?

You're the second person to mention a video game.

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah! It was where the old games were. Johto's new... Well, not so new now, but still newish.

[Video]

[regal-azure.livejournal.com]

I see - Johto's more recently discovered. That's exciting! I wonder how much more there is out there.

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

That's a good question. There's so many Pokemon I haven't seen here...maybe there's even more regions we don't know about.

[Video]

[regal-azure.livejournal.com]

It would be wonderful to see it all.

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Can't have too many places full of Pokemon.

[superrising.livejournal.com]

... Didn't that train already leave? [He's not quite sure, but he did remember hearing about it.]

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure it leaves tomorrow. At least...I hope so. [He already feels his heart sinking. PLEASE BE WRONG, DUDE.]

video;

[superrising.livejournal.com]

Erm... well, I guess you can always ask the station for it. [Oops.] I mean, it's not like this is the only time it'll go there, right?

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah...but the first trip will be awesome. I'm gonna go ask after this.

video;

[superrising.livejournal.com]

You think? I dunno, it sounds like just all a pretty big hype to me.

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Whaaat?! It's the trip of a lifetime to a lot of people! For those who played the Pokemon games, anyway.

video;

[superrising.livejournal.com]

I've played the games, but it's not like Kanto's going anywhere, right?

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

True... Maybe I'm just overexcited about it.

video;

[superrising.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess I can see where the excitement comes from, but I don't see any reason to consider it a loss if you don't catch it this time.

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you've got a point. [Larry nods.] We can just be fashionably late.

video;

[superrising.livejournal.com]

Isn't fashionably late normally something that girls say?

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Really? I hear guys say it more.

video;

[superrising.livejournal.com]

Different crowds? Though I guess I do know a few guys who might say it too.
