I think I'll kiss my shame away

The two conversed. The two continued at their usual pace. Elaine continued to be vague, and Casey continued to give the game away "on accident" to give her more reasons to talk to him. Was he lonely, or just the perfect snitch? Either way, he fanned himself. "...Good luck. Call me, if you need anything."

Making his way back to the drinks table, Casey ended up pulling his Treecko. He didn't want his baby exposed to all the debauchery afoot. He subbed it out for his Toxtricity. His pet-project. A lizard that was like a certain stripe of punk; gross and weird and more honest than anyone else. It stood atleast as tall as he did. "...Another two wine coolers."

This time, he was plied with two Sangrias. Two red wines infused with carbonation and a number of fruit flavors. "......"

Casey then turned from the table. The crowd of people shifted, keeping him away from Elaine. Would've been like swimming across a channel, getting to her. Out of the corner of his eye though, he saw that Ms Summer, from the garden.

Casey made his way over to her, slowly offering a bottle to her, neck-first. As if he were handing a sword to her handle-first. Casey is red in the face, despite his very thin layer of foundation. "Oh. It's you again. How have you been?"

He needed to take his restless Treecko for a walk. Had to do something so it didn't act up like it did infront of Summer. The only reasonable option was to tire it out. Hence, he was in a black tracksuit, looking for something to sic his lizard on.

Kano was a welcome surprise, though he had to dive and snatch up his Treecko, to keep it still. Kind of defeated the purpose. That being said, they were close enough to alert her two Voltorbs.

Casey looked down at her, and smiled. "...I'm sorry about that."

The hot springs proper was a walled bath, though various troublemakers and counter-efforts left walls between bath areas a patchwork of cut holes and wood-filler over the bamboo. It looked like a polka-dot pattern. Water vapor peeled off of the water vat, forming ribbons in the navy-blue sky. Occasionally, someone would peer over the edge of the walled bath at him, which he dismissed with a hand gesture.

Casey was completely won over by it all. By the badger, which he offered a hand to sniff out to. He was won over by the story, too. His eyes widened, thinking about it all. "That's really cute. And... Pets that you find like that are soooooooo strong."

He had the vocal fry of someone who blasted vaping cartridges, both of the ecig and thc variety. He kind of had to build up to his speaking voice, like a man doing karaoke "sliding" into an actual note in a song with a little mouth noise first.

Casey looked down at Lana, and offered him a little smile. "If you get a Lilipup from a puppy mill, it'll probably die. A Poochyena that you find outside... that'll be your friend forever."

She then kept going. Failure points. Contingency. Assume the worst. This ran counter to what he tried to impress on her. Casey brought the bottle high and downed the last of his wine cooler. For being six feet tall, he was something of a lightweight. "...And that's what we'll do. I might know a couple people who seem like they get around. Like they could give you a lead, of some kind. Remind me to tell you more about this later."

Casey felt oddly sleepy, though the carbonation in the drink left his voice a little fried. "....................It'll have to. But, I know you can figure this out."

He loosened his grip on the empty bottle, clutching it between two fingers and his palm like a bird's talon. Lie or not, it would go over his head. "To a new future."

A future he was still figuring out, well into his twenties. Casey fully covered his mouth with one of his large hands. He couldn't bear to let this person hear him yawn.

Casey looked to the drink table. He was considering another drink, though that'd hardly be a healthy choice. He then turned back to Elaine. "...Do you go to the gym?"

The sweltering heat managed to even seep out of the mouth of Fiery Pass. She beckoned him further into the cave. He stowed away his container of berries, and stood up. Casey tugged at the collar of his tracksuit and smiled. He was like this with pretty much everyone, yes.

He grew lightheaded in the heat. The entire length of Fiery Pass seemed to slow-cook all but the most fiery things. Occasionally, cracks between rocks and little spouts vented steam. "Sweat...? Yeah, it looks like you're burning up right now." Did she always turn red in the face like this? He pretended not to notice, but couldn't help a grin starting at the corner of his mouth.

The group was flanked by what looked to be a snake. Getting the speed advantage right away, it moved to Coil on Krokorok. An attempt to stun and disable it backfired, as Ekans seemingly walked right into a pair of snapping jaws. Krokorok used Crunch. With the snake worn down, Casey threw a ball at it. This still didn't meet their standards. The two hadn't met their match, unlike the Magmortar that seemed as though it could use more convincing.

He then turned his attention to Summer again. "...You seem to have an appreciation for nature. Where did that start?"

Going up the path, he could hear her large companion, but not her joke that he'd scare everything off. Casey had a similar feeling about his Krokorok, and pointed a finger to something deeper in the mountain pass, a Magmortar, roughly even in size with her boar. "...It looks like he's found a worthy challenger."

The sweltering heat managed to even seep out of the mouth of Fiery Pass. His hair was catching all of the sweat that was just in and around his hairline, and growing heavy. Casey reached a hand up to slick it back, but his hair just fell around his face again. He smiled very briefly, when she remembered his name.

She could make him swoon, sure. He wouldn't even mind 'misplacing' a check or two. He could just get a big guest on his podcast and make his advertising invoice slightly bigger. "...It's a fitting name. You're practically glowing, right now."

He was more tired than he could've imagined, and saw fit to sit on the ground. Krokorok curled around him. The two were approached by what looked to be a little purple rodent. Wouldn't be a fitting challenge for his croc, so Casey held out a berry for it, from his glass container. He was no stranger to little cuts and bruises, so letting the needle-covered thing eat out of his hand was no big deal. After about three or four berries, Nidoran rolled over for him, and Casey pushed a pokeball against it.

He then turned his attention to Summer again. "I'm so glad that we met in that garden... Plants are like people, y'know? They just need care and attention to truly be themselves."

He'd gotten her to start talking about herself. Good. The most curious thing happened though; she became intentionally vague. It would’ve been so much easier to just move on, but he almost admired her for brute-forcing their conversation. "...You’re right. In fact, I need to make my own preparations to rejoin the public."

She settled down for a minute. Now, she’d talked about how her brain needed this sort of thing. She seemed like someone who worked out at the library. "I suppose you need that level of complexity and abstraction. You’re not so far gone as to be challenged by something like a newspaper crossword."

He tipped the bottle up and downed another fifth of it, slowing his roll a little. "......"

Casey didn’t drink very often. So, he was taken by complete surprise by the sudden onset alcoholic sweat. He peeled his suit jacket off and tied it around his waist. His face was red, and the Treecko he brought along had to climb on him and look at him.

Casey raised his bottle to her, though it was only a quarter full. "I suppose that we should, shouldn’t we. It felt like I drifted apart from everyone in the past... three months? New friends are more than welcome."

He'd gotten her to start talking about herself. Good. The most curious thing happened though; she said it brought her back to being in her prime. Presumably, she was some kind of wunderkind child detective, now in her twenties. He could feel a kindred spirit in her on that front, in being a promising child who more or less grew out of it. "...You too, huh? I used to be a big deal, once upon a time."

She settled down for a minute. As if she'd got done lifting a physical burden by dropping that emotional one. She peered down at her drink. When he looked into his, carbon-vapor from the wine-cooler went right up his nose. He could feel that heavy-blanket over the brain feeling of drinking finally hit his hands. He smiled a little. "------Sorry. This crime-solving game thing is so interesting to me. It's like... you go to work, then come home and engage with someone imagining what your work is."

He tipped the bottle up and downed another fifth of it, slowing his roll a little. "......"

Casey looked down at her, and his eyes widened. He'd done so much worse, but he had to clutch at pearls that weren't there, snickering a little. Her little joke hinted at something real; he's gone here just to hit on people and see what happened. Nonetheless, he didn't want to scare her off, and saw fit to play coy as a result. "...It's whatever you want it to be."

Perhaps he'd overextended himself. Talked all over her, and even forgotten her name. His eyes were dilated, and he looked at his hand for a second, a drop of his wine cooler trailing down and ending at his thumb. Gracelessly, he licked at it, rather than let it go to waste. He was also one to vape until he could taste metal, from cartridges being totally depleted. He tried to avert his gaze while he did this, slightly embarrassed. "...Yeah. I was lucky to be able to do it, but I think everyone needs to like... take a break for a while."

Looking at the white-knuckled grip he had on the bottle, fingers fighting for dear life, he saw fit to put the ball in her court, finally. "So, what do you do, when you're not busy?"

She then sipped at her drink, and it dawned on her, that she wasn't above being here either. Casey looked down at her with a little grin. "...Isn't that why we're all here? Because we looked at what lied ahead of us and figured we could use a night off?"

She then reminded him of her name. Chances are, he wouldn't even remember this conversation right away. The night was still young. The moon hung overhead, pulling tides ever-closer to the shore. Life got just a little easier for Mossdeep's fishing community.

He tipped the bottle upside down and took a big shot. The carbonation and sugar helped get the alcohol into him. The taste was odd... While it purported itself to be a pineapple and coconut drink, it was clear which flavor was more prominent. The acidic, pineapple-y taste was like if someone tried to make a screwdriver without oranges.

Casey looked down at her, and smiled. "I'm sure you'll figure out whatever's bothering you, Elaine. You've already shown so much self-awareness, and emotional intelligence."

It's been more than a week since they last met. Since he barged in on her, having a moment to herself in the garden. Oh, how the tables have turned.

Being from Fallarbor, he'd seen every face of Mount Chimney, and even gone inside its fiery tunnel to trek to the bigger cities. That's where he'd find himself now, trying to blow off some steam. Nothing in particular soured his mood the most, so much as an accumulation of little things. Forgetting Elaine's name after she just said it to him. Saying "you too" when someone told him to enjoy his drink. His budding nicotine habit rearing its ugly head.

In a lavender tracksuit, he set up camp, with a backpack on his back. He pulled out a rubber-sealed glass container holding the entirety of his berry haul. He smiled, looking to his companion, a crocodile that tried to look too cool for school. Nonetheless, Casey, offered it a full looking Rawst berry. "...Don't give me that look. I'm taking you for a walk, so you don't pick fights with the neighbor's Zangoose."

He was parked near the mouth of the fiery path, on the side closest to Mauville and Lavaridge. While Krokorok adjusted to the hot, soft ground, Casey heard footsteps, and turned to face the entrance, offering another berry to the silhouette of a woman, as his eyes adjusted again. "Oh, hi. I don't think I caught your name the last time we met."

Casey smiled, but he was starting to feel a light buzz. A buzz between his ears. He probably fought harder than he had to to look normal for her. "Thanks. You're not so hard to look at either."

He was like that FERNANDO SILPH in a way. Slightly taller than whoever he's talking to, but less so. Funny how that works. We aren't like our father's generation. We don't even look like them.

She batted it back to him that she wasn't into celebrity stuff. As if he was just trying to gossip with her. It then came to light that it was about networking for her. "The most public-facing people are the easiest to get something out of. I feel like I'm playing your game, but on the easiest difficulty setting. There are gym leaders in my family."

She then reinforced that she didn't think much of it. He smiled a little, looking right into her eyes. "...Good. I'm actually glad, that I'm harder to recognize. I disappeared for a while so I could take a break. Grow my hair out, lift weights... Y'know, normal people stuff."

He tipped the bottle upside down and took a big shot. The carbonation and sugar helped get the alcohol into him.

Casey looked down at her, and smiled. "It'd mean so much to me if you'd do the same for me and tell me your name."
