Staring in the mirror of the dressing room, Kristina sighed softly. She had about an hour until the talk show was to begin, and already she had more regrets about this than she could stand to deal with. Mother why? Was this really necessary No, no it was. It was necessary. Those that knew her name knew her as a child actress, a baby clinging to the coat tails of her mother’s acting career. Now, after eight years of ‘time off’, she was technically an adult pursuing an actual career of her own volition. The ‘coming out’ event was necessary for publicity’s sake if nothing else. People had to remember that she existed before she’d get some of the better roles.
….Gosh for whatever reasons he still didn’t want to do this.
A noise reverberated from behind her, and Kris looked backwards to find her Gothitelle, Elise, had come in with a basket. If she had to guess, it was on her mother’s orders but what was in the basket was what caught her eye. Bows, ribbons, hair accessories, makeup. She had all these things done up already, but apparently, her mother wanted to be reassured. A weak smile came to Kris’s lips before she gave a small thank you nod and looked back in the mirror again. Ok, ok she was fine. Everything would be fine.

Coming in about a half hour before the show was pretty normal for most talk shows like these, Cat had already been sent a list of questions she might be asked and suggestions of topic areas she could ab-lib from, like where she'd gone on her most recent week long hiatus, or talking about her latest Glameow that she'd added to her little kitty team. Whatever the case she was feeling pretty pumped! A sick day from interpol a few days ago had left her deeply relaxed, she had a great new friend she was hoping to spend more time with, and now she was gonna get on screen with one one of her favorite late-night talk show hosts! Eeeee!~ This was wrapping up to be a good few days for her, her ears were swaying up and down with a chipper little smile on her lips.
"OOoo!~ We've gotta remember to get a selfie with him before the show to put on our instagram before the show! Kristina'd love that!~" Kristina being her manager, who always liked to encourage her to play up the cutesier side of her personality now and then. Usually she'd have met her here, but given a busy schedule she'd managed to do all her own make up before showing up, and Kristina had made arrangements for her not to be disturbed if she had to make adjustments in her dressing room. She glanced down to the meowth walking beside her legs, leaning down a bit so the cat could leap up her arm and perch itself on her shoulder, making her giggle as it nuzzled her cheek.
"We still got some time to kill though..." She glanced left and right, as if this was a deep dark secret to be shared only with the closest of companions, her sharp feline eyes turning into vertical slits as she eyed the buffet table, specifically a small pile of rather moist looking blueberry muffins. "You thinking what I'm thinking skips?~"
The Meowth let out a light purr and Cat giggled in delight, though she did keep it down, whistling innocently as she skipped past the members of staff getting ready for the show. With her usual wig on her ears layed down against her head as she went into sneak mode, grabbing a few muffins and slyly pushing them up between her tank top and her loose crop top, Skips himself stealing two muffins and failing to hid them behind his back, Cat glancing around to make sure they weren't caught before dashing to what they had wrong assumed would be their dressing room, a wonky nail on the door turning a 9 into a 6.
"These are gonna be so deli-oh!" She jolted sharply as she noticed the younger girl in the room, a few muffins falling out from her shirt and a sheepish blush covering her face as her ears fell down on either side, Skips not faring much better as his two muffins seemed to fling into the air, a testimant to how moist they where as one stuck to the ceiling, Cat staring at it for 5 seconds till it fell as if to punctuate the awkward silence. "...H-hi...I-I thought this was my dressing room...?"

Focused on trying out a couple of the hair clips from the basket and doing her best to ignore her nerves, Kris didn’t even register someone was coming until she was there. The sudden voices had her jerking up and looking over to stare at the strange… woman standing there in the door way. Wait no that’s… that is Cat the Idol isn’t it? Well, as if the kitty ears didn’t give that away but… Yellow eyes blinked as the movement of muffins rolling on the floor caught her eyes. And… those on the ceiling?
Elise huffed, and it was enough to bring Kris back to herself. Shaking her head, the Gothitelle summoned up a Telekinesis and began to pull the muffins from the ground and the ceiling. Pooling them into a squished bundle in the air, she folded her arms and waited for the human and the Pokemon to retrieve them. If not, she’d set them on the table
In the meantime, Kristina found herself standing up. “Oh uh… hello? I don’t— I thought I was assigned to this room?” she waited maybe a second before suddenly bursting into a smile. “But you’re Cat right? The Verian Idol! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! It’s so nice to meet you!” Already she was closing the distance, only stopping a couple of paces before Cat. Throwing her arms behind herself, Kris smiled upwards brightly. “My name’s Kristina! Kristina Vasiliev! Nice to meet you!” She giggled right after that.

Cat smiled a little sheepishly as the muffins were all retrieved by the pokemon. Most of them had landed pretty fine and the dressing room was fairly clean, so she wasn't too worried about reaching out for the bundle of floor and ceiling muffins, though making sure not to stuff them under her crop top this time, bowing her head a little to the pokemon as her ears lightly twitched to either side displaying her nerves. Skips the meowth being a little petty about the fact he'd been carrying two of the muffins and making grabby hands up at the squished bundle until he got to carry them again, purring when Cat leaned down to let her yank some from the pile.
Still, even with her nerves Sam's ears perked up again as the younger girl practically bounded over to her, straightening her back a little and clearly cheering up as her eyes softened, becoming round and bright at the iris, while her ears remained up in the air above her head. "Cat would be right. Nyaaa-ice to meet'chu!~" She didn't go with the catonyms often but they always made her smirk a little to use, her bright white teeth on display as she grinned down at the younger star, though her ears did dip a bit again as she recalled the fact this should have been her room. "Well actually I'm pretty sure it...oh." Reaching back to open the door, she watched as the 6 swung on a single screw, the bottom clearly missing one. "I think the number might have just flipped..."
With a light sigh, her ears drooping lower for a moment before resting back at a normal state, she turned back to the young girl, stepping forward towards her. "Sorry about that, I really thought this was my room. I-" She paused, glancing around for a surface and carefully placing down her muffin pile, patting some crumbs off her hands against the sides of her jeans before offering her hand to shake, the other making a curling pawing motion at her cheek. "I'm delighted to meet you though!~ I'm guessing you're on the show tonight?~"
As she made her more polite introduction, Skips hopped up onto the table, carefully placing his own muffins in a seperate pile, before stealing one from Cat's pile anyway and unrapping it, eating it from the bottom towards the moist squishy top.

A soft giggle burst from Kris as Cat spoke. She loved play on words but even more so play on words with themes. Her attention would be refocused, however, as Cat looked back to the door. Yellow eyes flicked over the number hanging there, and she understood. Well, that was no biggie right? This gave them a chance to talk after all!
Clasping the hand as it was offered to her, Kris flashed a grin and shook it gently. “Yep! I’m starting up my acting career again— er.. separate from my Mom— Lisette de Vaux— and figured this was a great way to let everyone know.” She giggled again and bridged her fingers in front of herself. “I noticed you’ve been working really hard lately, huh?” She beamed. “Keep up the awesome work, nya!” She couldn’t help but try the sound out for herself. It was just… too fun.
Elise, meanwhile, had softened some now that the mess was contained. She eyed the Meowth briefly and watched him eat before looking back to the two humans. Using another telekinesis, she pulled some glitter off the table and sent it spinning over Kris’s head. The latter seemed beamed up and ran her fingers through the stream.

So happy to see the other girl beaming with joy and delight, she easily giggled at the mimicry of her catonyms, rolling her eyes playfully all the same of course, it wasn't exactly the first time someone gave it a go in her presence and it would by no means be the last, but she was right, it was definitely fun, and not something she'd ever plan to discourage!~
"Oh it is so nice to meet you hun!~ Though I can't say I have the pleasure of recognizing you..." Both ears tipped to one side with her head in a moment of thought, tapping her chin as she tried to recognize the name of her mother, briefly finding it odd the girl never introduced herself. "Lisette...so if I remember the guest list for tonight...you must be Kristina!~" She hadn't followed actors all that closely when she was younger herself, but she could easily recall the young girl from a movie or two, though it was certainly much harder to recognize her now. "Oh wow havn't you grown up! I've got the image of a tiny girl stuck in my head nya-ow!~ Its so weird to think you're the same person!~"
Her sharp amber eyes flicked up briefly at the stream of flowing glitter, smirking and lifting her hand to it to, likely not having to reach as far to do so. "Your pokemon has some real talent controlling the glitter so well, do they have a name?~"

Through all of her years in acting, Kris was so used to being referred to as Lisette’s daughter, that she didn’t even think twice about introducing herself that way. As her name was spoken, however, warmth did touch her features. “Yep! That’s me!” she beamed proudly and internally squeaked loudly. A giggle escaped from her as Cat followed up. “I spent some time abroad so I could grow up.. hone my skills and all that,” she answered with a smile. That was… at least part of the truth, indeed.
Looking back towards her Gothitelle as she was spoken of, Kris smiled a little softer. “This is Elise. She’s my first Pokemon,” she looked back with a grin. “She’s been in a few contests in Hoenn, and I’m— …” she slowed considerably and smiled a little softer. “Hoping to try a few here in Veria as well. I heard the League is changing how they’re run— at least a little? It’ll be nice to try them.” she giggled a bit at that.

She'd spent some time abroad huh? Cat briefly wondered if she'd made any foreign movies, but the fact she said she was honing her skills seemed to imply it was more a break from her career rather than anything else, which in a way Cat had to admire. The way she never introduced herself, and just her mother, briefly had Cat wondering if this career was her own idea, but if she'd come back after 8 years away she must have been at least somewhat invested in her own career, which was definitely good.
"Oh so you must be on the show to announce a come back huh?~ I hope it goes well, but if anything the host should really help get you some attention. You'll be in your next film before you know it.~" She gave a lightly playful wink as she poked her tongue out, smirking a little as she flashed one of her more prominent fangs over her bottom lip.
As Kris talked about her pokemon Cat reached across and took Skips up into her arms, the Meowth having finished the bottom of the muffin and now nibbling at the moist looking top, careful biting at the blueberries first before working on the rest of the pastry. So she was working on getting into contests? "Oh that'll definitely help! I hear a lot of stars are trying to branch into those. My manager even keeps telling me to try one out but...heh. I've never done a full performance with my pokemon before." She looked off to the side, oddly embaressed by that fact. With half her pokemon trained for interpol, the other half weren't exactly prepared for much, let alone a full performance. "Though, I'm sure you can pull it off!~" She perked up just as quickly, ears lifting up as she beamed with a bright grin. "Cute girl, talented pokemon? Audiences would love you!~"

A soft giggle escaped from Kris, and a soft nod was given at Cat’s words. Her gestures thereafter had a series of giggles briefly hitting the air. “Thank you! I can’t wait,” Kris answered with a small grin. One hand on top of the other, her fingers laced together comfortably.
The conversation shifted to her Pokemon, however, and Kris had a bit more to talk about. Elise, meanwhile, seemed to smile a little more now that everything was cleaned up and good again. She enjoyed being talked about or rather, praised, in this case. Setting a hand on her hip, she threw her head back in a very human gesture of ‘beauty’ before relaxing again and giggling to herself.
Kris, however, had turned back to Cat by then and seemed to be soaking in what she had to say about contests. “Really?” she paused and giggled. “We should do the next contest together! It would be really fun!” That and… having someone she knew, even indirectly, in the contest would be soothing in its own way. Cat’s lull, however, had her bli— Interpol? The thought had tangentially bounced into her mind, and for a moment Kris stared unblinkingly. She’d… she’d heard that, right? There was no one else around whose thoughts were up close and personal but?
Cat was talking, and Kris was pulled back to reality again. A small grin pulled onto her features, and she gave a nod at that. “I want a chance to make my Pokemon stars too and all…” she admitted. “They deserve the limelight for being so amazing!” Oh— Elise was blushing a bit now despite herself. She could take praise, certainly, but being praised like that was …. Eheheheheeh.

Unlike Elise, Skips was oblivious to the fact the humans were talking about them, too busy eating his muffin with strategic precision. If he was gonna have to sit on Cat's lap for a good ten minutes and behave on TV he was gonna get in his muffins before the show started, purring as he practically rubbed his face into a soft spot on the muffin top before taking another deep bite of the tasty treat, eyes perking up a little, almost as if something caught his attention, but just realizing he was running out of Muffin, and trying to squirm out of Cat's arms back towards the pile, the feline Idol pouting and squeezing him a little in her arms as a signal to behave.. He whined a little, but he was majorly fine waiting another minute for his muffins.
"Heh...as much as I'd love that, something tells me these little kitties of mine aren't gonna be ready for the next contest. I heard there might be one this month in Sinclair afterall and...well..." She gave Skips another light squeeze in her arms. "I doubt this little fella, or any of his buddies for that matter, are ready to become stars..." Still, she did love them, she could just recognize that she'd let all her kitties get a bit doughy given they were more pets than partners like her other team. Lifting Skips up, she lightly rubbed her cheek into the top of his head before letting him down to his own feet, the meowth scrambling for the muffin table and hopping up to find another.
"It would be great, really, but you'd outshine me by miles.~ Hard to compete when your best trick is that is that your pokemon can sleep 16 hours a day.~" She was exagerating a little...or was she? She hadn't really timed them but scrambles, her Alolan Meowth, did take a lot of naps...She shook off the thought, smiling back at Kris. "I'm sure you'll do amazing though! I can already tell you two have got a coordinator's energy!~ You should totally try and let me know if you do a contest so I can come watch!~ I'll be the one in the crowd going WOOOO!~" She snickered and giggled as she leapt into the air, arms up and legs kicked up behind her, needing to bounce back on her heels as she landed to keep her balance, ears, twitching happily to either side as she beamed happily.

A small giggle escaped form Kristina as she watched Cat and her Meowth. This month in Sinclair, yes, she had heard about that one. Could she be ready in time? Kris wasn’t sure but she wanted to be. Oh, she wanted to be. It would be a great first impression on the coordinator scene after all.
…That actually made her more nervous than she expected.
Warmth casually crept to Kristina’s features, but she kept about as calm as she could and kept smiling as much as ever. A small giggle escaped from her followed by a grin. “Well, maybe if the Pokemon’s an Abra,” she answered. Abra were… kind of catty after all, weren’t they? They had small ears, claws, and a tail. Maybe their evolutions weren’t as catty but, that one specifically came to mind. Huh, she actually needed an Abra, didn’t she?
!!!! Kris’s eyes grew and so did her smile as Cat spoke. “Really?! That would be amazing!” she gushed a bit more than even she expected to at the thought of Cat being in the crowd. The gestures that followed had her swaying on her toes and giggling even more. “Oh! You know what I have?” she asked suddenly shifting back to the makeup desk. Fishing up a Pokeball there, she tossed it up and released an Espurr. “Since you like kitties~ This one is mine! Her name’s Daisy.” The Espurr blinked slowly before offering a smile and a wave.

Oh yeah, an Abra could do that easily. Damn even sleeping couldn't be classified as a talent as a joke. Ah well.~ At Kris' glee of potentially seeing her in the crowd, Cat beamed brighter, feeling like if she had a tail it'd be happily swaying behind her. Sadly that was the one thing that was a little difficult to manage as a part of her costume. At least she could handle the ears huh? As Kris seemed to get distracted her own curiosity peaked, briefly following her over to the makeup desk, jolting away as she whirled back around, eyeing the pokeball curiously. Kitties? What did she-
"ESPURR!~" The moment the pokemon was revealed she lifted the pokemon up in her arms, purring loudly and realisticaly as she rubbed her cheek against the tiny pokemon she'd snatched up into her arms, Skips whining a little as he noticed and got briefly jealous, Cat all the while just pouring playful affection into the tiny, wide eyed pokemon. "Oh I've been looking for these little guys furrever!~ They are such caaa-uties!~" Holding the tiny pokemon at arm's length for a second she took in the adorable little pokemon before pulling it in again, purring as she nuzzled it for another moment or so, honestly forgetting this wasn't her pokemon for a second.

Daisy mewed brightly back as she was picked up and snuggled Cat back entirely too readily. A deep purr reverberated from her throat as well, resounding with Cat’s in tune. Ahhhhh she loved people, loved cuddles, and loved whoever this nice lady was!
A soft giggle escaped from Kris as she watched Sam’s motions and heard her words. From the corner of her eye, however, she spotted Skips and slowly shifted over towards him. She didn’t have to really bend down to pat him given her height, but she did hesitate making sure he was ok with it before scratching his ears lightly thereafter. “I love Espurr,” she giggled. “But all kinds of kitties are wonderful too!” She uh… kind of wanted to start collecting more of them in the future, maybe. “I heard there was an Espurr swarm somewhere here though?” she spoke-asked. It had been on the news during her interm flight back from Hoenn, but she had yet to check it out.

Holding the tiny Espurr back against her chest as she looked over it's head at Kris, her eyes peering over it's head as she idly continued to Nuzzle it, her ears perked up as Kris admitted she liked Kittis too, Skips backing up from her hand hesitantly before pushing his head up against it, purring loudly as he took on the stranger's hand, briefly flashing a look to Cat herself and sticking out his tongue, Cat peeking her tongue out over the Espurr's head in turn before lowering the pokemon back to it's own two feet.
"If you like kitties..." She began to look around, twirling on her heel before rapidly recalling this wasn't actually her dressing room, holding upa finger with a sheepish smile. "One second!~"
Dashing out of the room and down the hall, she rooted around her own dressing room for the stuff that should have been brought in for her, smiling as she found her pokeballs and letting out her cats, darting back into Kris' room with skips, 5 other felines circling her feet, Cat careful not to step on any tails as she twirled around and introduced them. "Meeeeeet...Tassles the skitty, Cheek the Glameow, Coco the Litten, Purp the Purrloin, and Baby the Litleo!~ I have an alolan meowth too but...well, 6 pokeballs is all i can carry with me unless I want the league glaring at me for setting a bad example to trainers.~"

Set back down, Daisy looked back very briefly, her eyes questioningly. Hmm? “Hu-“ Kris did not get a chance to ask what Cat meant either nor did she get a chance to read her mind on the matter before she disappeared. Neither human nor Espurr would have to wait long, however. The drumming of feet was enough to have them both guessing what was about to happen and—
“Kitties,” Kris squeaked flashing smiles at all of them. She did her best to look at each of them as Cat introduced them, committing their species, unique features, and some details to memory along with their names. Looking back up to Cat with almost literal hearts in her eyes, she flashed a bright grin before looking down again. “They’re so cute,” she giggled slowly reaching to pet each of them at least once. Ahhhhhh, she loved how pink the Skitty was and how sassy the Glameow looked and what a prankster looking Purrloin and— what no of course she wasn’t reading off textbook definitions of their species or anything as she assessed them.
A thought hit Kris, and another giggle hit the air. “Does this make you the queen of cats?” she giggled lightly thereafter. That was kind of a dramatic title and yet? Yet? Who better to have it? Her (stage) name was Cat after all!
