Casey looked a little tired. Irritable too, but not because of anyone there. The two playing their game in the tree seemed to bother Summer to no end, so he had to stop it. Putting Treecko all the way into a pokeball would leave a bad impression too, not unlike taking your ball and going home. He whistled, and Treecko leapt into his arms.

Setting the basket down, he saw her hand reach out to him in the corner of his eye. He turned to face her, and he tried to look somewhat apologetic. "...I'm sorry about that. I think if I hold him, Nickit won't be so riled up."

Accepting her gift, he looked it over. What would that Aunt Madeleine think? It's all sugar and plant fibers. It'd somehow counteract his years of bulk cooking and freezing large quantities of meat and vegetables. He had to look grateful, and bit it clean in half, and giving the rest to his Treecko.

He tilted his head at her, and smiled. Though he more or less just rushed in and caused a problem for her, she felt for him. He had to atleast act like he was going to make it up to her in some way. "It means a lot that you'd offer any to me. Thanks. ...I'm Casey, by the way. Feel free to call if you think you need help, even if it's like... moving."

Casey smiled, having already uncapped his carbonated wine cooler. He sipped at it, looking down at her.

His residual nervousness died down. She wasn’t all that turned off by him, and even didn’t mind that he spent a good fifteen minutes outside chain-vaping until his eyes dilated. Mint wasn’t that disagreeable, either.

He went out of his way to make eye contact with her. "...Thanks. It means a lot that you’re not bothered by that sort of thing."

And then, she pushed him on something else. It was timed so well, the way that Melody Miro made her entrance. He pointed to her with an outstretched thumb, then shifted a little, careful not to corner Elaine against the wall she was on. "My family is something of a big deal... She disappeared almost as long as I did."

A half-truth. He withdrew from public life, and she was kidnapped. Then, her next comment. “I’m not my dad’s prop for a photo-op anymore, but I never said that I was above this sort of thing.”

He grabbed a wine cooler for her, and she still saw fit to grab a tall glass. She poured it up, and stared through the side at him, adding an amber tint that rendered all the purple on him an ugly blue-grey. Perhaps he’d misjudged her.

Casey looked down at her, and smiled. "...I’m Casey Maverick. You’ve probably seen her on TV, and me in print advertising."

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.

Casey had his own insecurities, but they were all personal. He couldn't even relate to not being a physical specimen. If he had physical insecurities, he'd simply use his minor celebrity to procure steroids. His own parents would frown on it, but perhaps @madeleine would see fit to shove him into the spotlight, what with Melody's month-long hiatus. His hair looked even thicker and heavier with the beads of water slowly seeping in. His hair was purple like carnations before their red mutation.

He pretended not to notice Lana's eyes scanning him. He yawned and reached up to put his hands behind his head, though that put his chest and shoulders into focus. They weren't huge, but he looked like he used them a lot. Then, Lana got caught up on the particulars of the joke.

Casey looked down at Lana, and offered him a little smile. Rather than try to force it, he'd move on. "...How long have you had your Linoone?"

Casey smiled, having already uncapped his carbonated wine cooler. He sipped at it, looking down at her.

He started to come to life a little, his eyes lighting up as she spoke. It then turned to the idea of investigation. Of getting in on secrets. He was at arm's length from local power, on a level far below national power. But, would she walk away from someone who was just the child of the treasurer of one of the volcano towns? Surely, there were guests of greater importance.

His hair was purple like carnations before their red mutation. Sarcastically, he put the ball back in her court. "I couldn't tell."

As much as either of them could smell the alcohol, she could smell the cartridge he'd just ran through; the artificial mint flavoring he went for clung to his clothes. "I'm not sure if this counts for anything, but... My dad's in the government, he used to drag me to events like this, but much smaller. I got a little nervous outside, could you tell?"

He batted that question to her with a knowing smile. A smile that didn't reach his eyes.

While Elaine wanted a battle of wits, what she'd end up with is an unarmed opponent with a height advantage. A vegetarian model and podcaster who hits the gym two times a week, mostly to stave off Vaping Lung.

Casey looked down at her, and smiled. "I came here by myself. My idea of a good date is a little... different."

Casey wore a lavender button-up, black jacket, and matching tie. Upon his feet was a pair of matching lavender sneakers, that looked incredibly soft to the touch. Surely, if he had to entangle with someone physically, he'd grapple them or whistle for his companion, a restless lizard.

Casey is smiling, serenely. Despite this, he looks slightly tired. Must be the long hard hours spent in the podcast mines. Grinding away Content. The evening's locale was flush with light, both from actual lighting fixtures and the jewelry worn by some attendants. It all sounded of countless, buzzing inside-voices.

His experience with such things was as a prop for his connected parents. Paraded around as you would a dog. Still, going alone was freeing.

Casey spent a concerningly long time vaping outside. His Treecko looked up at him, unsure of how to console him. It felt like he was put in a headlock by a baby, the way he felt a constant, low pressure. "...I need to just get in there and let things happen."

People continued to pour into the building, and he merged in with the nearest lane. Deposited into the dance floor, he beelined for the drink table. Scooping up a bottled Piña Colada-flavored wine cooler in each hand, he then pivoted on his heel, followed in tow by his lizard. Seeing someone against a wall, he moved towards her with the neck of one bottle pointed at her as an offering, as if handing over a sword handle-first.

Casey looked down at her, and smiled. "You look flustered. Did your date stand you up, or something?"

This seemed like a simple enough day out. The stone room didn't have the same view of the night sky as the hot springs, though it did have heat lines emanating from every humid surface. The two were slow-cooking like a brisket.

Martín had cat-like amber eyes. His teeth were too perfect. Frankly, someone like this intimidated Casey. Reminded him of himself. Steam and sweat clung to them, though they sat apart.

A moment of silence came as he glanced off into the distance. He had to say something, to not look like he was ignoring Martín. "...Thanks."

Casey looked at him, smiling for a second, though that went away. Something about his fresh out of the gym look felt familiar too. Casey himself had the firm core and legs of someone who spent an hour every day swinging a kettlebell between his legs, like an American football. He had the tired look of someone who found himself sore after working out. "......" He said, as if he were at a pool. "Do you work out?" OOXDh|oM

The Nickit's little pounce nearly landed, but rather than leap on it, Treecko sprung up. It was like a human grappler trying to stay ontop. It then scurried off, taking the lead in their little chasing game.

Casey is smiling, serenely. He seems to have forgotten all about his pet being a handful. "...My bad. I should do something about this."

Casey held up an odd thing. Called a Rawst berry, it looked like a strawberry in powder-blue. He bit into it, neatly separating the berry from its leaves with his teeth. He then glanced off to the side. Putting two and two together, he threw two upwards, to give Treecko and Nickit a break.

Casey looked down at her, and offered another berry to her in an open hand. "...About a week. Can you tell?"

The stone-room was a bust. Somehow, a heat-radiating hole in the room was worse than a hot room by itself. Still trying to shake off stiffness from hitting the gym without stretching, Casey set his sights on the hot springs proper. Again, the fallen idol checked in at the front desk. Again, the receptionist hadn't heard of his podcast.

A little sheepish about being naked at first, he seemed to be fine with it when it dawned on him that he could have a towel nearby, and that the mist would cover a lot of it. Furthermore, the water vapors radiating off the hot springs water trailed into the night sky. The little ribbons of vapor caught the moon's light, as Casey sat and arched his back on a rock, to work out a knot he had.

What sounded like commotion led to another bather entering, and setting up camp nearby. The two were flanked on all sides by rocks; not jagged but not so smooth as to have no traction. They could leave as they pleased. The air felt like swallowing a droplet of water. It looked like he was sweating already, when it was really just condensation covering every inch of him that wasn't submerged in water.

Casey looked tired, and his smirk disappeared fast. He had to come up with a little joke to break the ice. "...Hey. D'you ever wonder how Burt puts all those Bees in the lip balm tubes?"

The cool air conditioned room seemed to seal itself when the door shut. There was a soft ambient noise humming through the place, like a dozen adults trying to use their "inside voices".

The way she frowned shocked him. Had he done some kind of faux-pas, by intervening on her behalf? Either way, he watched her order, still gripping his tall plastic cup of iced coffee like his life depended on it. "...Ivanov. I don't know him, but it's important that he's there."

Casey then shrugged his shoulders. He brought up his cup and sheepishly asked for a refill, putting another crumpled bill on the counter. His cup was taken away and replenished, returned quickly. "There was a forest fire in Fortree a few months ago, saw it on the news. I'm glad they've found someone to protect the place." With an outstretched hand, he grabbed his cup and sipped at it again. "Either way, getting to be there would be great. The air is... impossibly clean, thanks to the forest around it, and the treehouses."

The Nickit's little invitation wouldn't go unnoticed. Treecko started to scale the tree it was on, then start chasing it.

The breeze kind of ran through his hair like a set of fingers. There was a tendency for people's teams to reflect something about them. Casey was no different, with his recently acquired Treecko. A little lizard that ran around any place it was dropped off. It was as restless as any dog.

Casey held out his basket an arm's length away from him, catching any berries dislodged by Treecko scaling the tree, jumping all over it. He then reached into it, twisting a few more off.

Casey smiled for a second, watching the two play. "...She's adorable. You must've taken very good care of her, to have fostered that kind of trust after a couple months."

The fox sprang into action, but was kept close by the promise of a treat every so often. Casey followed suit, leaning in and scooping up a basket by the gate. He walked closer to the patch that the fox was turned loose in, and smiled at his Treecko. The little lizard scaled a tree, just clumsily enough for Casey to catch falling berries.

Though he was tall, he had an odd grace. Like any seasoned athlete, his feet seemed to glide across the ground. Casey twisted berries off their branches, careful not to damage the fruit-bearing plants. Catching his lizard going nuts, getting really into it like a dog turned loose on a farm, he threw a berry to it.

Casey drew closer to Summer, and again reached into a nearby tree. He twisted something off the branch, and offered it to her in an open palm. Just being here to pick fruit was part of it, yes.

Casey saw fit to address Summer. "I’m here to decompress; This is more productive than just skipping rocks across a lake. How long have you had your Nickit?"

DANNY HALL likes this

He walked across the street with her. Casey passive-aggressively smiled and waved at a car that took a little too long to come to a stop, but otherwise this was uneventful.

He held the door open as the two neared the shop. It was a glass door with a metal bar for a handle. Like a cat whose owner grew sick of being gifted dead rodents, the arrival of the two was marked by a ringing bell hanging off the door. "Yeah...... Sometimes, I eat like an MMA fighter. I'll cook up a month's worth of chicken and cauliflower, then freeze most of it."

Casey then shrugged his shoulders. His Palpitoad waddled in after them, and he placed a flat hand on its head. "You're not the only one taking a break. I saw DANNY HALL at a shoot a few months ago, and it was the last I'd heard of him. Seemed like a nice guy." With no reflection on Casey's part; on the fact that he disappeared on everyone. Wadded up bills left one pocket, as he offered to cover her drink. "--Do you know who it is? I'm... related to two gym leaders. "

The hot summer relented. The two were given a gentle breeze throughout the day, and the sun gazed. The sun didn't glare at them like it did on the beach months ago. The outside felt like any reasonably air conditioned building, with less sterile air.

Casey wore a grey hoodie and track-pants, alongside red sneakers to match his shirt. He was tall and kind of thin looking, and smiled a little when the slightly damp earth had a little give under his feet. When the ground didn't turn to dust and scatter, or have brittle grass feebly stabbing people's feet after weeks of dehydration.

A little lizard sprung out of a pokeball. He walked with it into the garden proper, and smiled as Summer had to tide over her fox with the vague promise of treats. His lizard seemed antsy but not hungry. Casey smirked, and pointed to a fruit-bearing tree. It seemed to wait for him to say "go", for it to go make its own enrichment like any good housecat.

Casey saw fit to address Summer. "He's so disciplined. This one's just waiting for me to let him climb all over the place."
