bro danny's on a ROLL hitting all these tricks easily.[break][break]

then it only means the next one will be a success as well.[break][break]

PRIMARINA TWIST.

"nah. i could never lie."[break][break]

spoken like someone who has to lie daily.[break][break]

after a sip, he sets the glass back down on the table. he crosses his arms over his chest only to remember his shirt's still sticky from the honey. well, too late now.[break][break]

"so i have a problem i need your help with, kat."[break][break]

he's quick to pick up the glass again for another sip.[break][break]

"i'm twenty—" not two. not anymore. "—five. unemployed. uni degree in marketing. any ideas what i should be doing?"

"doesn't it?"[break][break]

if he could look at himself in the mirror right now he would. wait—he pulls out his phone and opens the camera app, flipping to to selfie mode before raising it up.[break][break]

"it does. come on, get in the picture."[break][break]

he takes a step closer to her. their height difference makes it a bit awkward (5'6" vs 6'2") so danny squats down a bit.

an INCENSE that is somehow waterproof. very nice find. danny keeps it knowing he will likely never use it as he only gachas for his pokemon.[break][break]

that's the easiest way to appear strong and powerful, after all.

POKEBALL - 8/11[break]

[attr="class","pkspr pkmn-vikavolt"]

maybe they're not so natural at this.[break][break]

SIKE[break][break]

one misstep doesn't make it any less true. danny floats back up to the surface determined to hit a sick STARMIE 720.

danny sifts through the few bottles, peering at the options only to settle on red. it's of a decent quality; not too old until it's insanely expensive but not too new that it could be sold at any grocery store.[break][break]

he brings it over, pops the cork, and pours.[break][break]

"i gotta be honest and say this is an airbnb, so i think i'll have to pay them back for this."[break][break]

worth it, though.[break][break]

he sits back down and raises his glass.[break][break]

"cheers."

"hell yeah i'll be there front row. i hear this teravolt band isn't too bad either. but i guess we'll find out."[break][break]

he's not really a Melody Miro stan but her music's alright. a bit too pop for his taste.[break][break]

"i'll text you."[break][break]

after another spoonful of food, he stands to quickly circle around to the kitchen to pull open a cabinet with choices of wine.[break][break]

"red or white?"

[attr="class","ooc"]Katherine Fairburne[break]

[attr="class","pkspr pkmn-dedenne"]

danny does know better now but it still is tempting to fall for her tricks if only so they can laugh about it after. he holds out this time, standing his ground.[break][break]

"i don't think it is."[break][break]

he smiles back.[break][break]

"let's go to the splashfest next week in slateport."

"beats me! i'm not used to this anymore."[break][break]

spoken like a rich kid who spent a bit of time studying abroad only to return a "changed person". the slight galarian accent danny speaks with? manufactured. a product of his parent's wealth.[break][break]

"what sunscreen are you using?" without waiting for an answer, danny steps back into the shade and leans down to peer at the bottle. "ah, the shitty kind. here, try mine."[break][break]

danny reaches into his backpack for his very expensive bottle of sunscreen. spf 50 pa++++ with anti-pollution and anti-aging ingredients.

three months later...[break][break]

"really pretty!"[break][break]

danny's diverse vocabulary doesn't usually fail him but it does now. he chuckles, pushing down the nerves before reaching down to pluck another to put behind his ear.[break][break]

"now we're matching."

[attr="class","ooc"]giada morgan[break]

[attr="class","pkspr pkmn-dedenne"]

"woops! shit, my bad."[break][break]

double woops because he's now used a bad word in front of a little kid. he raises a hand to cover his mouth afterwards, sighing as he mentally berates himself.[break][break]

"shit—i mean shit—okay, i'll stop talking now."[break][break]

deciding to switch topics, he points to the floaties around the kid's arms. danny's wearing some too but only as a fashion statement.[break][break]

"cute floaties!"
