When Something Smells...

Blurb

In a particular case in the Ace Attorney series, a judge looks at a profile of Larry and asks, "Who is this useless-looking young man?" At first glance, this might actually seem like a fairly accurate representation of Larry, but if you dig a bit deeper, you'll realize that Larry Butz is actually a worthwhile, well-meaning guy. He's not too bad of a friend either, if you're looking for someone who will stand up for you, no matter what the danger is.

036 [voice/action for goldenrod city] [backdated to Halloween]

[action]

[It's the evening of Halloween, and the parties and trick or treating are in full swing. However, two individuals are more interested in the tricks than treats.

Anyone who happens to be walking around in the Goldenrod area may come across two very energetic men donning baseball caps and comfy shorts. They also won't hesitate to shove their Pokemon in your face.

No really, enjoy a Bidoof and Sentret in your face.]

Dude! Check out our sweet Pokemon! They're in the top percentage!

Yeah man! Joey's got nothing on us!

[...have fun with that.]

[voice]

[It's the the late hours of Halloween night, so you'd think that the excitement is starting to die down right?

... Wait, is that your 'Gear ringing? Sure sounds like it. But who would be calling at this hour? Maybe you should pick up...]

[[That's right, everyone... The youngsters are making a comeback. Only this time, they're not possessed. Replies will come from both Larry and Barney (

usedsuitup).]]

035 [video/action]

[The feed starts with a great view of the interior of the Blackthorn City gym. Two figures stand in the battle arena. One of them should be recognizable to most Johto travelers: it's Clair, the gym leader and Dragon type specialist. The other is a man some residents may have seen on the network: spiky brown hair and goatee and an apparent fondness for orange. It's none other than Larry Butz! And it seems like this is going to be a very important gym battle by what Clair's saying.]

Congratulations, Larry Butz. You've finally made it to the final gym in the Johto League. I must warn you, this isn't going to be easy. I pride myself in being one of the very best Dragon trainers in all of Johto.

[On the other side of the arena, Larry grins.]

I wouldn't want it any other way. Let's do this!

[Clair responds with a smile herself. Although that smile is partly because she's amused by the stuipidly happy look on Larry's face. Wow, do people really get this excited over gym battles?]

Good. Let us begin.

( battle and more illustrations under the cut )
[A couple hours later, Larry appears on the screen, holding up his badge case with a shiny new Rising Badge in it. It's a complete set! He's grinning bigger than ever.]

You guys! I did it! I finally did it! I got all the Johto badges! You know what that means, right? It's Kanto time, baby! Ohhh man, me and the gang have been looking forward to this for months. We're gonna take Kanto by storm!

[27 year olds getting ridiculously excited by nostalgic video game locations, everyone.]

034 [video]

[The feed opens to a very sickly Larry, who is covered in a mountain of blankets. His skin his flushed, and he's visibly shivering and sniffling. Basically, he's been dealing with a killer fever for a few days now. And with all of this weird power and mutation business going on, something's crossed his mind more than once. He decided to take to the network about it.]

So uh... [sniffle] Has anyone else gotten really sick but didn't get freaky powers and stuff? 'cause I've been sick and really cold for forever and a half and I feel kinda cheated...

[And just as he trails off, he starts coughing. And since he's Larry, he doesn't cover his coughs so he tilts his head to get it out of the way.

Just when he thinks he's done, one last cough comes out...and so does a gob of fire.

He stares down off-screen where the Ember attack landed, frightened and in awe at the same time. Did he seriously just cough up a fireball?]

... Never mind.

[Still staring, he then realizes oh god fire in the bed FIRE IN AN INN. As he dives to put the fire out, the feed cuts out.]

033 [video/action]

... Where am I?

[Larry's post begins similarly to the post he made during the last crazy weekend event: very dark. Very very dark.

Except this time it's a lot more smelly, but thankfully the viewers can't see that.]

Ugh, what is that smell?

[Eventually, Larry gets the 'Gear's screen face him, illuminating his face and a bit of whatever's behind him. It's hard to make out what's there, but there's something there. It looks mushy, whatever it is.]

That's better. Now, to find a way out.

[He starts shifting around, and as he does that, something else moves behind him. Did something back there blink?]

Huh, it's pretty cramped in here...

Wait a second--

[Seems like Larry's noticed the moving too, and the 'Gear's view shifts around the space, revealing:

(only a lot more of them)]

Gaaaarbodor...

Trub Trubbish~

[Wait for it...]

WAAAAUGH! NOT AGAAAAAIN!

[[OOC: Just when he thought he was done with garbage everywhere, Larry ended up inside a random big garbage bin with a few friends. Oh, the irony. Anyone want to rescue him or find him outside of it sometime later?]]

032 [video] [backdated to March 28]

[The feed begins with a view of the ocean with Olivine's port off to the side. The setting sun is reflecting off of the water; it's a nice mixture of blue, orange, and purple. A gentle breeze makes the boats in the port sway gently.

Basically, it's a beautiful evening.

The feed owner sighs in the background. It's a content sigh.]

You sure can't beat a day like this. Not a bad day for a birthday if I do say so myself.

Laaapras.

[The apparent Lapras seems to be in agreement with its owner.

Larry turns the 'Gear so he can address the network properly. He's got a hoodie on, and the hood is somehow managing to cover up his spiky hair. Somehow. He seems to be in better spirits after what happened last month.

Gourdy the Lapras also peers into the frame at times. One might notice that Larry's actually sitting on his shiny Lapras out on the ocean.]

That's two birthdays spent in Johto. I kinda laid low for the first one, but for this one, I wanna do something for it.

So! [He jabs his pointer finger toward the 'Gear's camera.] If anyone in Olivine's up for some partying, I'll be at that cool bar restaurant tonight. You don't have to know me or anything; I'll hang out with anyone!

Be there or be square.

[Wow that was an out of style saying, but Larry just rolls with it. He grins and cuts out the feed shortly after.]
