029 [video/action] [backdated to 12/31]

[failures]

[It's about 11PM on New Years Eve. The feed begins in the middle of the Goldenrod Pokemon Center. There are quite a few trainers bustling around in the Center despite the time. There are probably two reasons for that. 1) it's New Years and trainers are ready to ring in the new year or 2) they're watching some kind of performance going on.

Someone is dressed up in a funky costume that some people may recognize, doing a bunch of tricks and poses, albeit slightly clumsily. They're using a broom in place of a weapon for some of the tricks. They finish up the routine with some attack called "Early Summer Rain Jab" and the audience applauds them.

As the crowd disperses, the costumed person walks over to the 'Gear and picks it up. As the view shifts, we see that it was a Pokemon who was holding the 'Gear before: a Wobbuffet. Well, only a few people in Johto have a Wobbuffet...]

Heh, so what'd you guys think?

[Says the person underneath the mask. Even more familiar than the Wobbuffet is the person's voice. It's quite different than before when he was calling out attacks, but there's no doubt who it is.

Once the mask is off, it's no surprise to see that it was Larry under there. Or maybe it is a surprise. His face is a bit flushed from wearing that mask for a while.]

Pretty cool, huh? My Steel Samurai costume showed up on Christmas, so I thought I'd use it to ring in the New Year! Did I ever tell you guys I played a popular fictional character back home? Well if not, the cat's out of the bag now! [He laughs, rubbing the back of his head.] I'm actually kinda surprised I remembered most of the attacks. It's been a while!

Sooo, how are you guys celebrating? Anybody having a party? Any ladies out there in need of someone to kiss for the New Year? [He laughs again at that one. JUST KIDDING, UR...] I'm in the mood for some fun tonight!

[Why would anyone let you into their party, Larry.]

how can he not tag this; video

...

Larry?

What are you wearing?

video And then Larry made Miles NOT a Steel Samurai fan in the future...

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

My Steel Samurai costume! It's legit too.

video; oh Larry, how could you.

[miniworth]

I heard that part.

But... the steel samurai?

video; Because he's Larry.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I thought I told you about him already! Y'know, popular kid's show and all that...

video; darn it Larry. o9

[miniworth]

It looks... fun.

[So far it looks ridiculous.]

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty neat show. I gotta tell you, to be honest, I wasn't expecting to land a part as him when I did.

[miniworth]

I wasn't aware you had a flair for acting, I must admit. Antics, sure, but never acting.

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Let's just say I got some inspiration from a girl I met. She played the Pink Princess at the time, so I thought I'd join her as the Steel Samurai! It actually worked out pretty well for a while.

[PLEASE DON'T MAKE HIM GO FURTHER MILES.]

video;

[miniworth]

Another girlfriend?

[NOPE he's oblivious.]

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Nah, just a friend. [That he wanted to be his girlfriend.]

video;

[miniworth]

What happened, then? You said it went well or a while.

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

It uh... W-Well it didn't work out, that's all.

video;

[miniworth]

Did you do something?

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

No! Mindy just got sick and had to drop her part in the stage show.

[Like he's going to tell you if he did something. 8|]

video;

[miniworth]

[!!]

What happened, then? The princess sounds like an important part of the story.

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

She definitely is, especially since in this installment she's the Steel Samurai's wife, and they have a kid!

They found a replacement for her, but the replacement was really hard to work with. We had no chemistry at all, I tell ya.

video;

[miniworth]

Larry. The chemistry is beween the robotic samurai heroes, not you and the actress. It couldn't have been that bad.

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Oh... W-Well trust me Edgey, it was that bad. We just didn't get along.

video; i am going to respond here.

[miniworth]

[Oh Larry. He doesn't understand why it could be so bad.]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

[Barney has done the ridiculous mascot thing before. That play is surprisingly effective. Still, that outfit is ridiculous.]

Steel what?

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[Ridiculous yet amazing to many in Larry's world.]

Steel Samurai! He's the main character of the really popular kid's show, The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

You never told me you were a TV star...even if it was a kid's show.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Well, I just played him for an official stage play tour.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

...Still that's pretty awesome.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[He grins.] I know right?

And it was even better that my cast mate was smokin'.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? So, did you and her, y'know?

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I wish. Had to be my luck that she got super sick and then left the show soon after.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

That sucks, bro!

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

An artist and an actor? What's next, interpretative dance in a Roserade costume?

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I'm a jack of all trades!

... Haven't tried dancing yet though. Maybe that'll be next.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

I call front seats. Will you have a broom, too?

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Would I need one for a dance?

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Depends on what dance you've got in mind. If you're gonna take up something that needs a partner and you can't find one, a broom could come in handy.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[He laughs.] Good point! I think I'd want to find a real lady to dance with though, as good as the broom has been to me.

[forhishappiness.livejournal.com]

[ Look, she's replying with video too! She looks a bit better since the last talk. ]

That's a nice costume.

[ video ]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[Ur bby he's glad to see you looking better.]

Thanks! Does it make me look cool?

[ video ]

[forhishappiness.livejournal.com]

[ She can endure this after so long. Besides, she's not alone, so it's easier in this way. ]

You can say that. They are not bad.

[ video ]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[It's always good to have friends to help you.]

Great, 'cause it's worth enduring the heat then. Seriously, this thing is like a million degrees.
