Blog Entry 2 - Text

[usedsuitup]

Hey, with this text function, I can use this thing like a blog. Awesome! Barney's Blog is back in action, and portable to, and you all better read it! I provide useful information on this thing. Well, once I start figuring this place out.

For now, I'm stuck travelling to Cherrygrove City. At least it's an actual city and not some backwater town. And I found a suit! Even better. Things are finally looking up for the Barnacle. I also was able to catch one of those bird-pokemon. Pidgey? Sounds right. Marshall would know. Named it Robin. [He's proud of that, and thinks it's kind of funny.]

Questions for those of you who've been here for a while? How often do pokemon attack? I'm not gonna have to fight them all the way there am I? I don't want to have to do that along with the elements? Also, what the women like here? I need to know what I'm getting myself into.

The Barnacle

Um, sir, I do not think a suit would be useful on a journey such as this one.

[He isn't sure what a suit is, to be honest, but it sounds formal!]

As for the other Pokemon, it depends on where you go. Most attack when you walk into the brush, others will attack if provoked. However, I suggest keeping to the battles so that your pokemon may gain experience and become stronger. That is what this journey is supposedly about.

Maybe not, but it's useful to me. Barney Stinson is not Barney Stinson without his suit.

So, brush is good to avoid, as is provoking them. Got it. I don't know if I can go for that sort of thing. I just want to get home.

...Are you Barney Stinson, then? My name is Firion.

[Yeah, he's from that funny Final Fantasy world where they sometimes don't have last names.]

Yes, we all want to go home, I believe. But we are unsure as to how that will be possible. This world is peaceful, despite the attacks within the brush. Perhaps it would be better to make the best of this world for now until more news have been uncovered?

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's me. Firion huh? Odd name, but a bro's a bro. Good to meet you!

Guess it's the best thing I can do. Hopefully, someone will learn something soon. How long have you been here?

[Text]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

How is it odd?

[Bro...? He shakes his head and doesn't ask]

I have been here for one month and a half.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Just one I've never heard before.

Wow, that's awhile. How far have you got? (I think that how the game worked.)

[foolishwren]

... _{[There's a slight scoff in her voice.]}

The Barnacle?

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The Barnacle.

[foolishwren]

... Very impressive.

Anyway, in response to your questions, yeah. They pretty much just attack all the time. But once your Pokemon get stronger, it's not as big a deal.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Ain't it though.

Great. Camping and creatures attacking me. Things couldn't get any worse. So, there's no really choice then.

[foolishwren]

Well, better get used to it. It doesn't get any better.

At least not for the first leg of whatever trip we're all supposed to be making.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Well, that's just great.

You mean we actually have to do that whole journey thing?

[foolishwren]

Well, it's not like there's anything else to do.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

There must be something. Anything! This is a living, thriving world. It has to exist on more than just going around collecting monsters.

[justicereigns]

What's so special about naming it 'Robin'? [Says the man who named his Tashigi.]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Well, you see, back home I got this friend named Robin, so it's the perfect name! A little bird called Robin.

[justicereigns]

Did she have a surname?

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Scherbatsky. Why wouldn't she have a surname?

[justicereigns]

I don't have one. And I know of a famous Robin you might've met.

She must be close to name a pokemon after her.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Really? Weird. Oh? Try me.

You could say that, yeah. [we're not going to mention the crush though. or the fact that he slept with her]

[justicereigns]

Nico Robin. It was just the first one that jumped to mind.

Understood. [S'okay. Smoker gets it. Since Kay told him apparently naming a bird after a woman means you love her :|]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Can't say I know the name. Granted, I know a lot of women.

[well, that'll be news for Barney]

[justicereigns]

Woman from my world. She's dangerous. I don't recommend making the acquaintance.

[It was news for Smoker.]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

I've met tons of dangerous women. Makes things more interesting.

[justicereigns]

Fair enough. Your choice how to handle her then, but I haven't even heard of her being here.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Lucky for her.

[justicereigns]

She'd probably like it actually.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Seriously?

[justicereigns]

Yes.

So far that I know, you can or can't have a battle when you encounter a Pokemon. But I suggest it's better to have a battle all the way.

What women like? Flowers and cute creatures maybe?

[Text]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

So I can escape if I need to? Great.

Oh shoot, that was a typo. Should be asking what the women are like. But flowers are a universal, and I like the creatures idea.

[Text]

[redyoungster.livejournal.com]

I could say it's fine to escape, but keep escaping won't help much though.

Oh? Women seem fine to me, nothing particular. Are you planning to date with those women?

[Text]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Maybe not my pokemon, but me, yeah.

Of course. It would be kind of pathetic if I didn't try. For me at least.

[redyoungster.livejournal.com]

Riiight... [He's sure like Zelos type.]

About tiny creatures informed you earlier, you could get an egg at the Violet ranch. Who knows it could hatchs really cute one.

[Text]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

And where exactly is this Violet Ranch? [pause] Wait, an egg?

[Text]

[redyoungster.livejournal.com]

The next stop after Cherrygroove City. My friend runs a ranch there and of course he got plenty of eggs.

It's Pokemon egg. I plan to visit there with my friend who just appeared in Route 29. She loves to take care of cute creatures.

[Text]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

More walking, I guess.

They come from eggs? Okay, I think this place has gone beyond weird.

[magical-logic.livejournal.com]

Pidgey is the correct name. It doesn't resemble a pigeon very closely, but I don't think a robin is all that much closer.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

I knew that. I called her Robin 'cause I got a friend with the same name.
