A slow breath drew in and out of Kris as she stretched up and relaxed again. “Nice work everyone! You can take a break now!” Her performing Pokemon turned back to her and gave a couple of nods before relaxing in their own personal ways.
Kris had been training quite a lot in the past couple of weeks, but it was really starting to pay off with her numerous Pokemon growing stronger and evolving. Though she couldn’t be sure it would change the future she’d seen in her mind’s eye, some part of her felt better prepared for it at the very least. If nothing else, she could say she’d done something beforehand.
….Speaking of which…. She probably should tell Cat— er Sam— about that one of these days. Kris had been meaning to considering she knew the other actress’s secret, but one time or another never seemed like the Right Time given how much she’d have to back up and explain and stuff. Yeah… Yeah. Yeah.
Shaking her head to clear it, Kris …. guessed she could actually text her about it and maybe even meet up… back here even? Her manor’s ‘back yard’ was literally a grand estate’s lawn and then some, but it offered a decent amount of privacy and such… Shifting her hand to her dress pocket, Kris fished up her phone and hesitated for a few moments as she looked at the last couple of text messages. C’mon…. It wasn’t that hard, was it? What if she’s busy? Well then they could do this some other time so— But… Why was this so difficult? Heh, she knew why.
-- Hey Cat? If you’re not busy do you wanna come over? Now or in an hour or sometime this week? I’m getting ready for the next Star Festival and wanna show you some stuff!--
Yeah that… was misleading as hell considering, but oh well.

Having been at the shoot for her newest line of kitty themed clothing for about 3 hours now, Cat was...well not bored with it but it was certainly draining her a little. There were only so many ways to re-invent the wheel with the poses she could do and any time she ended up repeating something she'd done a half hour ago this photographer yelled at her in a way that made her Sam side wanna grab the nearest light fixture and ram it up his-
Deep breath. You like these clothes. You're trying to selllll these clothes. Look at the cute little 'nya' face on the back of the jacket. Yessss. Now just smile and make sure your manager knows you never want to deal with this asshole again cause there is constructive criticism and then there is being an asshole as wide and gaping as the gran canyon.
"Yes. Very good. This is much better." She resisted the urge to roll her eyes as she'd only faintly changed her pose from what it was a second ago, and without even much direction on the photographer's part. Needing a break it seemed she'd get one as her manager managed to see the frustration building beneath her modeled smile, managing to wiggle her a few minutes at the snack table, taking a seat beside it as a makeup girl came over to 'pluff up' her ears as she checked her phone and idly reached for a snack, managing to grab a ham sandwhich, putting it back, and more consciously going for a muffin.
Oh hey, Kris!~ That instantly put a more genuine smile back on her face.
--Er, kinda depends there 83 I'm doing a shoot in Faraday for like, nother hour or so nya~ Purrrhaps its your Faraday estate? If so I could meow-nage to drop by in a little bit~ --
Yes, all the cat talk WAS necessary in text.

As her phone pinged back, Kris’s lips quirked upwards. She could wait for another hour no problem, yeah? Yeah.
-- Yeah that’s purrrrfect!! --
She might have giggled a little too much texting that, but … but yeah. She shifted her phone, pressed a button, and sent the exact location of the estate to Cat’s phone. It was technically in the ‘middle’ of town but still managed to be both expansive and upper class. Mom always did call it a steal.
Shifting a little, Kris looked up towards her Pokemon for a moment before waving them over again and explaining who was coming. Elise of all Pokemon was very pleased Kris’s friend was coming over and was quick to turn and remind some of her other Pokemon to be on their best behavior. Turning inside thereafter, Kris walked into the house again to explain who was coming and what to expect to the house staff who were quick to pass it on to the lawn crew and the rest. Perhaps some gossip would also spread through this, but it wasn’t like Kris hadn’t heard it in some form or fashion before.
When Cat arrived, she would find a large gated house with a security guard already at the gate. The man would promptly usher her inside only after she stated her name and purpose and from there would be directed up to the house. The manor was of a modern style, blocky and asymmetric, but it stood tall and strong and almost natural there with the other garden itinerary. Never mind that it was seven stories tall at its tallest. Kris, meanwhile, would be alerted and would quickly make her way to the front door to stand and wait.

With the shoot over, and a quiet word to her manager to make sure they never get that guy again, Cat popped on one of the outfits she'd been modelling that she took a small liking to. The weather was finally starting to warm up, so she'd gotten some stripey leggings with some denim short shorts with ruffled leg holes. A nice, form fitting shirt that actually had a stylistic picture of herself doing a kitten paw motion with a 'Nya~<3' speech bubble, and finally, a black and pink rimmed half length jacket with a more prominent pink cat fast on the back. A bit of a radical combo but she was feeling pretty good with it and felt like wearing the new merch since she was getting some of it for free anyway.
As she made her way to the estate, she let out a low whistle as she walked upon that somewhat intimidating site, humming quietly as she made her way up to the gate, waving goodbye to the driver her manager had managed to grab for her. As she approached the guard, she gave a quiet smirk.
"I believe I'm expected?~"
"Name?"
Cat smirked and simply pointed to the ears on her wig. "I think these pretty much give me away if you're expecting me.~" The guard narrowed his eyes, and realizing humor wasn't really allowed her, Cat let out a soft sigh and folded her arms over her chest. "Cat."
Of course that got her in and she skipped up to the front door, knocking if Kris didn't open it right away, or ringing a bell since, honestly, building this big, it was probably more likely to reach anyone's ears. Assuming Kris opened the door first, she'd open her arms, not hugging the smaller girl, just more presenting herself with a cheerful smile. "Krissyyyyy!~"

Kris was just a little behind on getting to the front door, but as the bell chime resounded through the house, she sped up her pace right after. The door was pulled inwards, and Kris beamed on seeing Cat there. “Cat!” she squeaked, stepping forward to hug her even if the gesture hadn’t been meant to elicit it.
The hug would be short lived, however, as she pulled back and flashed a grin. “I’m glad you could make it!” On such short notice too, but she didn’t need to say that. Shifting a little, she clasped Cat by the hand and stepped in. “C’min! I’ll show you around!” As they both stepped in fully, a butler would shift in and quickly close the door behind them.
In the foyer, it almost appeared like a waiting room, with light paneled flooring set with semi-nice rugs and several couches sprawled out at decent angles to each other. A fire place off to one side had ben lit at some point. Kris, however, was making a beeline through the double doors that led into the next room, something closer to a den in appearance, with a kitchen capable of being seen at the far end. “This’s where Mom’s parties are often,” Kris mentioned almost offhandedly before going on. “The backyard is cooler though.” And she’d go on that way walking through yet another couple rooms before finally getting there.
The backyard was expansive with a large pool done up in rocks and layers being a central feature before spreading out into the tennis courts and golf-course-like greenery beyond. Kris stopped here, easing her grip on Cat’s hand before finally looking back again. “Oh yeah! I had some lemonade and cookies brought out here!” she mentioned gesturing to the round table set by the pool.

Giggling at the hug, she'd turn her wide open arms around her smaller friend and hug her back without any hesitation, ruffling her hair just a little, enough to be playful without ruining her hair for the day before following behind her, taking her hand and following along as she wanted, already impressed from the outside, but with the amount of rooms they moved through just to get to the back, Sam could tell it was as wide as it was tall. Her parent's place was pretty nice but they still only had two floors...though to be fair that was fairly good on Sinclair, and they had a pretty decent size even by the standards of the first car...
Still didn't hold a candle to this place though, hot damn.
Kris seemed way more excited than Cat was even expecting for some reason, she'd sounded weirdly nervous or bummed when listing off her mother's houses when they met after the last festival, but hey, if she was okay showing off, Cat wouldn't pop her bubble at all.~ With the fresh air hitting her again, she let out a light purr as she enjoyed the breeze, the sunlight highlighting that the white hair of her wig has some strategically placed bits of glitter in it, giving ti a bit of a shimmer without looking too cheap like if someone had done it themselves, clearly a more professional job to an eye like Kris' likely was.
"Well it's a pretty nice place, though I'd love some of that lemonade if you don't mind. Work was pretty killer today." She moved over and poured herself a glass if Kris didn't mind her doing it herself, turning to lean her rear against the table a little. "So.~ How's things been for my favorite rising star nya?~"

Kris smiled a little and made a small motion over to the lemonade pitcher and the glass cups available. She’d already had about half a glass which constituted one unfinished one sitting on the edge of it. As Cat spoke, however, she smiled a bit weaker before forcing that smile a little harder. “Doing good,” she answered. “I’ve—“ She stopped upon realizing it would probably be easier to show then tell. “Hang on!” she answered turning to the lawn beyond and calling out. “Everyone come see!”
While it might have been hard to see the various Pokemon at a distance, it would be easy to tell several of them were using Teleport right then. White lights enveloped before growing in a space closer to the girls. An Alakazam had teleported a Drowzee, Espeon, and a Wynaut. A Xatu had teleported over an Unown, Chimecho, and Munna. A Ralts had Teleported over a single Gothitelle who smiled on seeing Cat and gave a brief wave. A Gardevoir Teleported over a Duosion, an Elgyem, and two Mime Jr. And finally, a Gallade Teleported over an Oricorio, Slowbro, and Jynx.
As they finally appeared, Kris’s eyes shot back to Cat. “These aren’t even all of them!” she beamed proudly. They had just happened to be the ones on the lawn practicing for Star Festival for a few hours! She still had yet to select which ones would be in the final performances and the like, but that just meant everyone had a shot and really needed to practice in the meantime!!!! “I’ve been training and practicing with all of them! Star Festival’s going to be great!” She hoped, at least, better than her last contest had been, anyways.

Lifting her head from the drink she was sipping, Cat had to stop herself from spilling it out as several Pokemon rapidly appeared around her. Right away she could easily count that there weren't enough places for all of them to participate, but Kris was probably well aware of that, and just testing out which ones would work best.
"Would it be easy enough to guess teleportation is gonna be a theme of your little performance?~" Smiling brightly back at Kris she took another sip of her drink before settling it down on the table. "I was thinking of going into it myself, just the appeal's round though. I'm still not too confident in my coordinating stuff, and my kitties aren't exactly ready for a full performance..." She gave a light shrug, then smirked a little. "Oh, I was planning to maybe use one of my...'other' Pokemon though~" She emphasized the word 'INTERPOL' in her brain in the hopes Kris would pick up on that.

A small, silly expression drew upon Kris’s features as Cat spoke. “Something like that,” she answered briefly. A hand reached back, curling some free hair between her fingers habitually. The general theme from last year was stars and space, and she couldn’t quite see that changing too much so…. So yeah.
The mention of Sam competing in one of the rounds, however, perked Kris up more than she was willing to admit. Having a friend there, someone that she knew was really a friend and someone she didn’t have mixed feelings about herself was so nice! The mention of other Pokemon and the projected thought, however, had her pausing again. O-oh? That was… kind of neat actually. She was very aware Sam had directed thoughts at her but had gotten it as if she had spoken it even… She was vaguely Aware this was a facet of her powers, but so few actually knew of her powers, it had never been A Thing really but…
Actually, you know what— Cool!— she thought pretty hard back at Sam. She… didn’t intend to yell the thought but again she’d never actually… practiced such things ehehehe. “Did— did you hear that?” she asked a bit uncertainly. “I’ve— kind of been practicing that stuff too…” she admitted. “I… uh…. Think I’m getting better.” Still… haven’t told Mom…or Dad…. her thoughts directed at Cat again. It was… so hard to even begin that conversation and the expression on Kris’s face made it evident for a few seconds.

Sam pulled back a little at the yelled thought in return. It didn't...'hurt', like someone shouting down your ear might, but it was a weird invasive thought all the same. Even if she was 'okay' with Kris' power, that didn't mean she was entirely used to it. All the same her excitement was amusing and soon enough she was giggling about it too.
"Yeah I heard it, you're certainly getting better, came through loud and clear almost like I thought it myself Nya~<3." Beaming brightly down at the younger girl, she'd hear the comment about her not telling her parents yet, and her smile softened, cupping the back of Kris' head and pulling her into her chest, just holding her and giving her a faint ruffle of her hair in the hug. Ah I'm sure you'll be fine. Not like they NEED to know is it? It's your little talent afterall, and you control it pretty well from what I've seen.

For a brief moment, Kris rested against Cat mentally and physically sighing. She wasn’t even sure why it bothered her so much now, but ever since Cat had been surprised by it, Kris had come to realize that… yeah… people she ought to have trusted with such secrets were being kept from them. In this case, though, the reassurance, no matter how brief or unspoken it was, was welcomed. Thanks…. She smiled a little looking up to Cat and easing back after a moment.
“I wanna get stronger… in every fascist…” she said aloud looking a bit uncertain. “I’ve—“ she took in a slow, shaky breath before exhaling it pretty fast. “C-considered challenging a gym, even…” Granted the only gym open right then in Faraday was a Fire gym from what she’d heard and read online, but that was somewhere to start. She wouldn’t necessarily have a Type advantage or anything, but it’d… give her a good feel at least?

She wanted to get stronger huh? Sam's...'Sam' side came out a little more as her expression softened, just a little proud of her smaller friend to hear she was trying to train and enhance herself, both with Pokemon, and her own mental abilities. She let out a light sound of surprise, not dismissive by any means, just surprised, at the mention of gyms. She knew they were rarely challenged in this region, so to hear a coordinator was going after them was especially surprising...although...
"Well if you're going after gyms and wanna get stronger..." She held up a finger real quick as she lifted her shirt up a little at the side, uncovering a very small hip-pack attatched to her jeans and pulling out a Pokeball, ensuring she had her Sceptile and smiling softly as she tossed it between her palms. "I was thinking of using this little trick of mine for the festival but...I have something that can help you out with gyms, assuming you're willing to practice it between your performance practice.~"

Huh? Kris blinked slowly as Cat shifted, watching the Pokeball as it was produced and moved about. For all she was and all she wasn’t, Kris couldn’t quite get a read on Cat’s mind right then. “Yeah?” Trick… like a skill or a technique or something that helped in battling, maybe? That made the most sense considered she’d said gyms and all. And yet a determined look slowly came to her eyes, and a small nod of head was given thereafter. “I’d be willing!” she assured.
Her Pokemon too looked curious now, some less so than others but all had to admit they were interested. Kris had been doing so much growing, and this one before them could probably help her and still more grow even still.

Grinning wide enough to show her slightly more prominent canines, a feature that existed as Sam too, but never tended to get as much attention for whatever reason. "Awesome! Here just gimme a sec."
Rooting around in her items of that little hip pack, she pulled out a black plastic bracelet with a green, patterned stone upon it. It was like the keystone bracelets young trainers wore, but made out of a more durable, flexible plastic. Definitely more interpol equipment than rookie fashion "Well, first off, I need to ask if you've ever seen one of these stones before. Might make things a lot easier if you happen to know someone who has them, they could probably help you find some more." She started to put the 'equipment' on herself, before turning off to the side and letting out her Pokemon, an eager Sceptile with his fists on his hips posing strongly.

A curious look drew upon Kris’s features as Sam moved. Yellow eyes followed to the bracelet as it was produced, and distantly Kris recognized it as one of the items she had accumulated in her travels— or at least one like it. “They’re— they’re Mega Stones or something like that, yeah?” she ask-stated not quite uncertain but more unfamiliar. “I actually have a couple I picked up from overseas, but I’ve never…”
Kris trailed off and gave a shake of head. Never achieved Mega Evolution and never really known how to get started. There were plenty of supposed tutorials online about it, but sifting through what was hyperbole and what was truth was difficult for that sort of thing… Most were vague and unhelpful at best, and she really didn’t have time to sift through everything like she might have wanted to.
Refocusing on the Sceptile after a moment, Kris flashed the Grass starter a warm smile before nodding her head a bit in greeting. Some of the Pokemon still around gave a small wave as well. Those that paid attention were just as curious to what was going on as Kris was, in fact.
