004 [video] [backdated to thursday night]

[itsthebutz]

[Phoenix's group might be wondering where the heck Larry went to. Well, here he is.

The feed is on, but anyone watching will see practically blackness. The faint outlines of trees can be seen, but not much else. However, one can hear the occasional cry of a Hoothoot and the music for Route 31, but mostly they'll just hear what sounds like Larry's

because we've never RPed

[mysticpearly]

Mr. Larry!?

[She turns to look at someone off to the side:] You can find him, right? [And there's a cackle in response, and something purple zooms across the screen. Pearl looks surprised and takes off after it, though it's moving a bit too fast for her to keep up...

So another Gastly's gonna be the first to find poor Larry. But at least Pearly's on the way?]

Which is totally my fault. D8

[itsthebutz]

Pearl! Thank g-goodness!

[Pearl will know exactly where Larry is when she hears another scream. Yeah, that'd be her Gastly finding him. Larry thinks it's the same Gastly, though.]

B-Back for more, huh?! Well you're not gonna get the b-best of me!

/pat pat

[mysticpearly]

[Pearl's Gastly isn't so down about listening to Pearly this once, because she gets to terrify someone in the process. So she'll just be hunkering down on Larry's head. Feel free to keep screaming, girly-man.

Pearl, meanwhile, now knows just where to find him. She'll be dashing in and grabbing him by the sleeve, paying the Gastly on his head no mind, and pulling him back toward the rest of the group.]

You can't be getting lost out here, Mr. Larry! There are scary things around here in the dark.

;3;

[itsthebutz]

[ffff. Larry's attempting to get the Gastly off his head when Pearl comes to the rescue, thank god for little Pearl. He's still swatting at the Pokemon with his free hand as they head back to towards Violet.]

Y-Yeah, I noticed... Uh. Is this yours? [He's pointing to the Gastly. He vaguely remembers the disaster that happened a few days ago. Vaguely.]

[voice]

[shellderkillder]

Mister... Butz, is it?

[There's a biiiit of exhasperation in his voice.] You have a map.

[voice]

[itsthebutz]

[There's a looong pause.]

I do?

[voice]

[shellderkillder]

[Shelly's pause is only slightly shorter.]

You should.

[voice]

[itsthebutz]

[Another pause, filled with the beeping of the PokéGear.]

... I do! Wow, wish I woulda known of that sooner!

[usedsuitup]

Bro? You alright? You're not hurt or anything?

[itsthebutz]

[Despite sounding terrified...] Y-Y-Yeah. I'm fine. Just fine.

[usedsuitup]

Alright, good. Not bleeding or anything? Try and retrace your steps!

[itsthebutz]

Nah, just a little...freaked out.

Good plan...! If I could actually see where I came from.

[ass_himself]

*dangit, and he wanted to scream "boo" really loudly into the com :<*

Hey, you there?

[itsthebutz]

[Try it anyway. It'd probably still work.]

Huh? Uh, y-yeah...

[ass_himself]

*but what fun would that be now that a Gastly beat me to it? :3*

Oh really? Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that, bro.

[itsthebutz]

Wait, it sucks that I'm still here? I'd definitely rather be alive than dead from fright!

[voice]

[cheapblusuits]

--Larry?! I should have know you would get yourself in trouble sooner or later.

Are you alright? Where the heck are you?

[voice]

[itsthebutz]

H-Hey! I didn't do it on purpose! I was just training with Wobbuffet and Drifloon, when...suddenly it got dark. And then I couldn't see.

And then I got licked by a Gastly. It all kinda went downhill from there.

I don't know, man! I can't see anything! But I'm on Route 31 for sure.

[voice]

[cheapblusuits]

[How does everything suddenly get dark when you're OUTSIDE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT--right, this is the Pokemon world where anything can happen. That doesn't stop him from sighing exasperatedly, though.]

A-alright, alright, Larry, I'll come find you, calm down. Were you near anywhere in particular?

[voice]

[itsthebutz]

[That or Larry doesn't realize what evening is.]

Well I know I didn't get that far away from Violet, so...
