Barney Stinson

You know? Those gym leaders really aren't so hard.

I mean, I've barely battled in my time here, and yet I walked in and managed to walk away with this:



And I don't mean to brag, but Whitney? She didn't shed a tear.



[Those of you in and around Goldenrod may see Barney wandering around today with Whitney on his arm. While he's not treating it like a date, she certainly is, and couldn't be happier. Barney in the meantime, looks exhausted. It's been a very long date complete with shopping, training pokemon, and Barney taking her to the game corner, and then dinner on top of that.

The price of getting a gym badge.

During Dinner, Ted the Totodile will getting a hold of the gear, and accidentally uploading a video to the network. It is a video of Barney's win. Which is mostly pure luck as Barney is yelling out a flurry of confusing commands and his pokemon scrambling to obey. Most noticeable is Barney's Ledyba, who just flat out ignores Barney in favor of winning in it's own way.

Really, any trainer who takes this seriously would be offended. But that's not going to stop Barney from being smug about it.]

[There is a pensive Totodile on the feed today, having commandeered Barney's gear for reasons. He thought about blogging, but this matter seemed to need direct conference. And since Ted has a hard time communicating with people, pokemon it is.]

My trainer's been acting really weird lately. Like, he's been acting like his usual self, but that's just an act. I think something's bothering him, but I don't know what it is. What's a good way of finding out?

And it's like, really bad. He hasn't even talked to the Joy here!

[Barney Stinson is bored. And a Bored Barney is a troublesome Barney. So, he's just exploring Goldenrod today, looking for something to do about his boredom.

Obviously, this means wandering around the Radio Tower and what should he stumble upon? But an open booth.

And so, over the radio waves of Johto comes this announcement.]

Good Evening Johto! Barney Stinson here, and y'know, I was thinking, this place is a pretty weird place. But I've been here a year, and I think I've figured things out pretty much. But it would hardly be fair of me to keep all this expertise to myself, so I figure I might as well share.

So call me with your problems and I'll give you all the benefit of my knowledge. On any sort of matter.

[OOC]

Hey everyone.

IDK how many people are aware, but the Log comm just hates sending me notifs for some reason. Because it does this, I end up having to check threads manually and that gets really annoying after a while and I end up dropping the thread due to pure annoyance with having to hunt it down and stuff. So, I'm going to try and circumvent it this time.

So, I'm going to be posting with Barney for most of the event and here's how it's going to work.

Barney and Larry have 2 costumes. The first is a devil and an angel respectively. And the second is a surprise. A treat and a trick if you will. The Devil and Angel will be active for most of the festival and this space is for that purpose. If you want to thread with Barney in his Devil costume, do it here. This way? I get the notifs and threads can happen and it will be awesome.

Also, if I tag you in the log, it'll be a tag with a link to this post, and I'll set up a specific thread for that purpose.

Also, also, if you want a thread with Roxas let me know here or on my plurk and I'll set something up here as well, just so that I'm not cluttering up stuff and what not.

I'll probably be slow with all tags and stuff, but hopefully, this system works well and we can backtag till the cows come home.

Barney is in Goldenrod, as is Roxas btw.

Happy Halloween Everyone!

[Hello Johto! Today on Barney's blog you are receiving the rarest of all things, a travel entry. Yes, Barney has had an eventful last while what with crazy parties and floods and fourth walls breaking. Barney still isn't sure what to make of that weekend, since he's missing three days and all he can remember is zombies and boobs, but that is beside the point. He's on Route 39 now, and has been for about two days.]

Hey everyone! Can you see this place? This is a completely unnatural landscape. Look at it. It's flat. Completely and utterly flat. There is nothing here.

[He waves the camera around to reveal the boring flat farmland. And more than a few Murkrows. Maybe an odd Houndour if they're around.]

This has got to be the most boring thing ever, and it's all I've been seeing for like two days! That's not right! This place sucks. I never would have left Goldenrod if I'd have known that this is what I would have had to deal with. I'm going nuts out here since there is absolutely nothing interesting here! Just farms and music and a whole lot of nothing. The music isn't helping by the way. Really, it's not. God this sucks.

[There's a sigh as Barney stops ranting for a bit and walks for a bit, the screen simply showing the road. He then stops and appears on the screen again.]

So, anyone know how long it takes to get back to Goldenrod from Oli-whatever? 

[More walking and then another brief stop]

Oh yeah, I scored with the Olivine Joy, so that's four Joys now, what up?

[He goes back to walking for a bit. Think he's done? Not quite.]

Have there always been this many birds around? 

[Barney appears on the screen, looking rather chipper and like a cat that just ate the canary, but that's normal for the Barnacle.]

You know, Johto, I've been doing some thinking. And it has been way way to quiet around here. I mean, it's nice that I have a decent city to live in with a decent job, even though it isn't New York or my job, but I'm getting too stuck in a rut, and that's boring.

So, here's the plan. Saturday night? There's gonna be a party. I found this awesome club just off the main street and the I convinced the owner to let me rent it for half price! And this place has got everything so it'll be great. Although, you might want to be over 18 if you're gonna attend, since there's going to be alcohol and stuff strippers, and I don't know what constitutes legal here, so we'll just stick with that.

Make sure you come, 'cause it's gonna be legendary!

[Private Text to Larry Butz]

Dude, if you are in Goldenrod get to the Radio Tower right now. I will need your help for this party.

[/End Private]

[ooc: strikes not said but implied. tags to come tomorrow morning]

[The feed clicks on, the image shaky as it sounds like there's some commotion going on. It's hard to make out what's going on until the gear clatters to the floor and looks up at the roof. It's Barney's office, clearly, but it looks like there's a windstorm going on. And you might be able to see red and brown and purple blurs flying around.]

Robin, stop! Stop! Ted, no, don't use that!

[And all of a sudden, there's a blast of water, that really just succeeds in making everything wet. There are still blurs flying around. And to make a long story short? A angry ledyba found it's way into the Goldenrod Radio Tower. And after causing chaos in the lobby, found it's way into Barney's office. And of course the door closed so Barney's trying to deal with it. With a pidgey using gust and a Shuppet just having fun making a mess and a totodile just trying to help and poor Barney in the middle of it all not sure what to do. Until he finally gets an idea. Which involves coming out from under his desk, jumping on top of it, and grabbing the ledyba as it goes by. He falls to the ground, and you will now be treated to a few minutes of man vs. pokemon with the man clearly losing. At least until all his pokemon hit it with an attack. Barney lies there for a bit with the knocked out pokemon before sitting up.]

What the hell got into this thing? I've never seen one this mad, and coming into a building. I mean, even when I fought that....

Oh for the love of-- the stupid thing's ruined my suit! And this was my better suit to! Now what am I supposed to wear?

[and all previous thoughts are forgotten as we must deal with this outrage]

[The pokegear is on the floor, and it takes a few moments to come into focus. When it does, one can probably see the bottom of a table, as well as a couch. There's some sounds off to the side, Ka-chings and the like. But the main focus of the video is on Ted the Totodile, and a Treecko sitting beside him. Ted seems to be explaining something to the new pokemon, which is what hatched from the egg that Barney got for Christmas.]

Totototodile! Dile!

Tree-tree-cko.

[The conversation seems to be about blogging and how to blog. Ted is trying to convince the Treecko to give it a shot. Treecko looks a little nervous, then gives a wave and introduces himself. Anything further gets cut off as]

Alright! Another win! Ted, Marshall, one more round and then we are eating well tonight! It's gonna be legendary!

[Barney looks like he's going back to the game, but then he notices the pokegear. He picks it up.]

Man, Goldenrod City is more awesome than I thought! They even have a casino here! It's so cool.

[Someone is gambling away his savings]

[Feel free to hit up either the pokemon or Barney]

Apologies for adding to flood, but I figured I ought to add one for the Barnacle.

Larry - Gift certificate for a suit shop that he found. There's a location in Goldenrod as well as Violet, so suit up, bro!
Smoker - A bottle of imported beer from Sinnoh. It took him so long to hunt down.
Donald - A scarf that is striped with the colours of Huey, Dewey, and Louie's caps. So he can think of his nephews when he wears it.
Kaitou - A slightly tacky Christmas tie, to wear during winter magic shows.
Romano - An official looking document outlining the terms of the Slap Bet, so they can make it official. And a lump of coal, cause he thinks Romano belongs the naughty list.
Heather - A tacky Christmas sweater. Like, the most tacky one he could find. With glow-in-the-dark sequins.

Wow...where did all these people come from? It's like I'm back home all of a sudden. Awesome!

[Crowds, what joy! And so many people to. This is exciting. So he's walking around Violet checking everything out, with Ted the Totodile dancing around behind him.

And is it just him or all those buildings that didn't have doors suddenly have them? And they're unlocked to! Well, might as well go check them out since this is a video game. So he goes into a room, a light clicks on, and Barney finds that the room is filled with Bidoofs and Miruhog. And they look mad. 

There's a scramble for the door, which Barney flings open, only to be knocked to his feet by a sudden stampeded of the aforementioned pokemon. There is now a stampeded of angry rodent pokemon in Violet. You're welcome.]

What the hell were those?
