the wishiwashi makes quick work, and ensures the safety of the corsola. the brief, restless waves calm, and the pokemon continue to migrate as the trainer sits atop her avian of steel. her eyes, however, had kept on the toxapex as it floated off, up until its body - along with the body of its young - had retreated just out of her vision. [break][break]

it's then when she can rest, and the wishiwashi that schooled return to where they came from, leaving the single sardine that happily flaps its fins in goodbye, and in gratitude. [break][break]

verity perks up at the woman's voice, taking a moment to grasp the situation. her shoulders jolt; was she upset? annoyed? irritated? oh, please, lord, don't let the scary looking woman sc--[break][break]

"What did you say your name was, again?"[break][break]

she asks, just as the trainer was expecting a telling off. "verity.." her voice is soft amongst the waves, but she's quick to clear it, and project "my name is verity." she responds, finally, with a soft smile that tugs at the corner of her lips. "it's nice to meet you."

My first original song... I really didn't think I'd be able to make something like this. Thank you for the support, and making this possible.

he has a nice laugh. [break][break]

it's hearty, and full of life and energy. she'll admit, it's a little infectious too - enough to put a slightly broader smile on her lips while making her rounds of the tent to make sure that it was stable enough. though she was silent, she was intently listening. [break][break]

honestly, who could blame him for thinking it gets tiring? not her, when she chooses the unceremonious silence of her own company by coming out to a camping spot. to know that they feel similarly is a relief. [break][break]

red meets red when he tilts his head and asks about.. pegs? pegs, pegs.. [break][break]

"oh!" she perks up, and the gears have started turning in the skittish woman's head once again. "one second.." there should be some in the bag the tent was packed in, unless she forgot about the pegs from last time... [break][break]

thank god that isn't the case. [break][break]

so she pulls them out, along with a little hammer to knock them into the ground. both tools are carried in one hand, and she gets to sitting herself down in the grass to line up the pegs and the hammer. now, where were they..?[break][break]

"mm.. i get it." she hums, carefully eyeing down the peg and gauging just.. how much strength she should be using. "company is nice, but it's nice being able to disconnect and recharge." the introvert in her screams, quite aggressively, in agreement. [break][break]

verity gently taps the peg into the ground, the same piece being firmly wedged into the dirt. when she's confirmed that it's stable, she does a small scoot and crab walk to the next hook. [break][break]

"just being able to take things slower, or at your own pace is nice." her smile broadens, and her shoulders can finally relax from their initial nerves when she continues. [break][break]

"or even for.. processing and reflection, don't you think?" she asks, with a shrinking smile this time when she raises a tilted head, with a curious gaze, and a hammer lightly hitting the peg once again.

BURN THE RAIN
Callan Young
Rock isn't.. usually my go-to, but this album was nice. It was a lot more lowkey than what I thought that it'd be? It took me a little bit to get into the.. right mood to be able to fully appreciate the music, but a warm soak in the bathtub gave me a feeling of.. floating? I don't exactly know how to describe it, but it was.. different. Not in a bad way, not at all! Just.. Very different, and the vibe was very melancholic. Listening to the album kind of prompted.. some out of body experience when I completely emptied out my mind? I'm trying to put my thoughts into words, but I think the best way I can explain it was a kind of dissociation...? Not in a bad way, though! Thank you.

M.M.
Melody Miro
Melody's music is really.. emotional. If not in her voice, then it's always in her lyrics, or in the subtle meanings behind those same lyrics. It's always nice listening to those layers and, after reading the interview she had, you can really tell how much music matters to her as an art. It's.. really inspiring, and really admirable that she was able to return to music, and I guess you can say liberating, that she can pursue the kind of music that she's always wanted to make, for herself, and not under someone else's eye or control. When I close my eyes and listen.. it gives me the image of a girl desperately clawing and grasping at her desires, or at her freedom. Thank you.

MEMORY
SHEBA INOUE
I don't really understand Kantonian and.. I don't think the translations do the song much justice. I like that you can hear the breathy shaking, or the sharp breaths throughout the songs - like she's desperately trying to breathe through each line. It's.. amazing how it feels like she's using her voice as an instrument, and using that to convey a mood or her message, rather than relying on the lyrics. When I close my eyes and listen, it.. makes me feel like laying in bed and staring into space, with nothing but the music playing. It feels like.. I've become her music, and the breathing and beats and.. everything, makes it feel alive. It feels human, and it.. makes me a little sad. Thank you.

a kindred soul, one that could appreciate the trees more than the people. [break][break]

... though looking at him doesn't give her that impression. maybe it was the way he carried himself, or the way he seemed so bright and cheery. he seemed a lot happier in the presence of people and his pokemon, though maybe the latter was a given. verity has seen him on the screen before, with the bright lights and cheering crowd surrounding her - but being able to speak to someone outside of their job is also nice. [break][break]

blood red eyes brighten at his voice, her nerves are already starting to soothe. if they keep going at this pace, she might be able to even hold a normal conversation without overthinking too much (too hopeful? yes, she was being a bit too hopeful). [break][break]

hoops spread out properly as the tent is hoisted up, and the albino woman perks up to begin hooking the metal poles, just so he doesn't have to.. stay in there for too long. thankfully, it doesn't take too long..[break][break]

"that's good to hear~.." another hum escapes her lips as she hooks over another metal pipe, and she lightly pushes against it to ensure that it's solid. yup, stable. "the city life can get a little hectic, so camping is a good retreat.." [break][break]

she nods to the man who still stands in the tent before moving once again, under the shade of her corviknight's wing.

that's true. [break][break]

but also, it's not every day she meets someone who'll be staying the entire time.. and on their own no less. usually it's in groups, and usually it'd end up being.. very loud. a little too loud for her own liking.[break][break]

verity doesn't quite know how to respond so, instead, she nods and glances off to the side. still, the comment about the ditch was amusing enough to crack the tiniest smile from an otherwise deadpanned expression. "i think a ranger on duty would try to get you out of the ditch first.." she snickers, softly. [break][break]

she'll admit, she's not too familiar with small talk. in the past times she's gone camping, it's always been her and her pokemon - so having someone who can enjoy the nature with her is odd. not bad, but odd. [break][break]

"so.." she starts, formulating the words in her head a few times "do you usually go out camping?"

.. did she say it out loud? [break][break]

clearly, she said it out loud. why else would the woman be lifting herself out of the water, with what looked to be a deadpan of disbelief. verity can't really think of anything else to do, save for a slightly panicked raise of her hands as she shook her head. "i-i wasn't going to do anything" too "dangerous..!"[break][break]

her lips curl into a slight frown, and her brows lower - like she has become a kicked lillipup. [break][break]

"okay.." she starts, her fingers wrapped around the steel feathers of her bird pokemon "double edge, and keep the corsola safe!" she calls out to the singular wishiwashi, who glances up from just below the water's surface.[break][break]

her corviknight lifts her up from the water as her wishiwashi begins to SCHOOL - but just enough to not burst out of the water. the schooled wishiwashi dart towards the MAREANIE at a frightening speed, clumps of sardine pokemon DOUBLE EDGING into the scattered predators that threaten the colony of corsola. [break][break]

she's keeping ruby red eyes on the wishiwashi, who carefully follows the trainers' orders. usually they'd move in a single cohesive unit but.. thankfully, she's taught them enough to be able to turn their own clumped bodies into separate units as well. "it shouldn't take too long." she mumbles, only turning her eyes to glance from the corner of her gaze. [break][break]

"i really apologize for the interruption.."

all she did was look away for one moment. [break][break]

and when she looks back, a mienfoo is found sparring with.. another mienfoo. she'd think it was cute, until she realized that it was her own mienfoo that was picking a fight. the little yellow pokemon aggressively taps their feet into the ground, arms up, ready to begin charging to hit the wild pokemon... [break][break]

before verity runs over to scoop the little canine-ish pokemon up into her arms. [break][break]

it struggles a bit in her arms, but she doesn't let up. "hey!" she huffs, shutting one eye in fear of the little pokemon poking it out "stop trying to pick a fight! we're heading home!" she gives it a quick scolding before she starts to run off. at least, before the wild pokemon could bring back its mother...

skipping; end

that's right. [break][break]

people did that, didn't they? people liked to laze around in the water in the summer heat. she's so caught up in it that she's depending on the corviknight to pay attention to the water. [break][break]

in the meantime, her wishiwashi responds in kind by timidly swimming around and about, circling the popplio's fins as it happily claps and dives through the current. the teary-eyed pokemon's soft cries and wails are that of happiness. [break][break]

verity only recognizes the danger when both the woman points it out, and when her corviknight lightly bucks to grab the airheaded trainer's attention. that's when blood red eyes snap to squint a bit more focused in the water, finding the barbed pokemon stalking the pink corsola that so harmlessly float through the waves. [break][break]

"that's right.." she purses her lips, narrowing her eyes. what should she do about this? she could just have her wishiwashi school for a little bit, but it'll likely send too much of a wave, and it'll inconvenience the woman who's just trying to enjoy herself here. [break][break]

she'll ponder a bit, before softly mumbling "i can throw my elekid into the water, right..?" absentmindedly, but.. ah, but then that'd probably kill the corsola. [break][break]

and everything else in the water. [break][break]

including them. [break][break]

so she glances to the woman who lounges on her sharpedo, then to the sharpedo itself to ask "could you two prepare yourselves for a moment?"

there's more time, but the point was that she didn't want to be more indebted to him... [break][break]

not like she'll say it. she realizes that maybe she's been a bit too pouty and has complained a few too many times today. it's a miracle that he was still as laid back as he was. god bless his soul, but god please remove some of that blessing - it's too bright when he gives her a wink from above. [break][break]

curse her paper white skin for being the way it is, because it makes it a thousand times harder to hide the red hue on her cheeks when she slowly tries to hide back under the plastic. [break][break]

she only doesn't because there's still work to be done. [break][break]

so she slowly crawls out, yet still keeping her head down a bit to keep locks of pale white over blood red eyes and rose pink cheeks. [break][break]

on all fours, she crawls towards a corner of the tent that's still lying limp, carefully slipping one of the assembled poles through the thin string for its skeleton. [break][break]

"huh?" she asks, nearly jolting and jumping when she realizes he was speaking to her. right, because who else would he be talking to? dummy. [break][break]

"oh.. yeah, i'll be staying here the whole weekend." it was the original plan, anywa-- wait. [break][break]

"... too?"
