PINNED. Hello! This is a very low-activity roleplay blog for Caitlin of the Unova E4. This is a side blog that follows from unovasrose or evoblue and who is also the Caitlin canon to Rosa’s storyline. All references to the B2W2 protagonist will refer to her unless otherwise noted.
This portrayal will be mostly gameverse with heavy headcanon and PokéMas influences to fill in the gaps. Caitlin’s profile can be found here.
a more proper wince overtakes him, a screwing up of his face & hunch of the shoulders with grit teeth. the spike in his mind was unwelcome and unwanted, even if he's loathe to admit it's perhaps slightly deserved -- if not unexpected. ( do you have to do that?! ) the indignant demand is cast across their mental connection, ( it's like i'm feeling a pokemon flare up in anger, damn -- )
it's as the pain flickers out like a candle within an upturned vase that hyu's face is able to relax once more, and he's quick to duck inside the rented villa for sake of surrounding quiet while her presence in his head persists. ( it's uncouth but it gets the point across. and idunno why our bond is particularly strong. you sure you didn't just double-down when you established the one you have with me 'cause of my reputation? )
he can't help the sigh of relief as air conditioning washes over him & he's granted relief from the sun. ( he's loud in some ways… even if he doesn't talk much about his feelings for her, it's still obvious. he's never shied away from promising that he'll be the bastion that protects the both of us. i can only imagine that sentiment is doubled-down on for her. )
She lets out a pretentious-sounding 'hmpf' at that. "I believe it was deserved. Perhaps that will teach you some manners, though I highly doubt it," she replies airily, dismissing her fellow Elite's complaints.
"And I will have you know, I have no control over the strength of our bond. It is based on how open your emotions are to me, and you just so happen to be an open book," she states rather matter-of-factly, a hint of annoyance seeping into her tone, as if it were reasonable for Hyu to somehow know all of this.
As she scolds him through their mindlink, she fluffs the pillows of her elaborate bed and then arranges her fluffy comforter. If only she could be in Dream Land right now, but alas.
"Well, you seem to be perking up," she comments on the sense of relief coursing through their link, though she quickly moves on. "I've no doubt that he would protect you both quite fiercely if the need were to arise. He feels quite strongly about you as well, I'll have you know, though what he feels for you is far less tortured and not startingly painful to witness."
"I strongly urge you to guide him towards the right course of action so that I can avoid dealing with these overwhelming emotions of his whenever he is within a five-hundred-mile radius of our League. Whether that be to admit his feelings or attend Romeo Rehab, I care not. Just please, for the love of the gods, do something about this. I believe he will listen to you."
Nate stresses Caitlin the fuck out so much, he turns her into a human Hatterene.
@psychicbloom : "Trust me, dear..." Caitlin appears behind her, looking like a ghoul who has gotten nowhere near her prescribed amount of sleep. "You're better off not knowing. It's dreadful..."
❝But Cait, that just makes me even more curious,~❞ Shauntal giggled. ❝Surely it is not our champion once again being in the hot seat of intimacy? Her fans devour plenty of rumors as it is.❞
Caitlin purses her lips at her friend's enthusiasm. Oh, how she wishes she could share the sentiment without experiencing something more painful than a migraine.
"I'm afraid it is, Shauntie. Our dear champion finds herself in these situations often enough. I feel like every time I dare peek at online spaces, people are talking about putting her on a boat with someone, especially that Christoph boy." Shipping, she means shipping. "I cannot imagine my personal life being dissected that way. That is the prize of silver screen fame, though, I suppose."
The rest of them were what one would consider 'popular' in trainer spaces, of course, but Caitlin is firmly under the impression that Rosa's fandom is more centered on her looks and acting than her battling prowess.
"I will tell you, nothing is worse than having to experience the painfully LOUD yearning that comes with that boy... Hyu's friend, the one who looks like a Lillipup anytime Rosa is around. I'm not even at the party, and it's overwhelming my cognitive faculties..." Oh, how she hates being an empath.
@unovasrage / continued from here
The 'mom' comment elicits a furrow of the brow from Caitlin, and she directs a sharp jolt of telekinetic pain toward Hyu as punishment for his indiscretion.
"I am not questioning your reasoning, only your methods," she huffs, her voice carrying a light sarcasm through their telepathic connection. "You are undoubtedly the best person for this task. However, the slurping..." She suddenly curls her lip in distaste, though he cannot see her. "...is just so uncouth, and our telepathic bond is stronger than I expected."
Hyu is more 'open' about his emotions than both Shauntal and Marshal, so perhaps that's why.
"Please feel free to continue telling Ignacio that he is doing a terrible job of managing his feelings. They are so intense that I can sense them from here. Were you aware that your best friend is such a loud person?"
"Your slurping is almost as bad as his feelings." Caitlin isn't even physically present at the party, but she's very present in her fellow Elite's head via telepathy. Why in the world did she decide to check in on them all? Her nap had been so pleasant. / from @psychicbloom
he feels the presence in his head for merely a heartbeat before the voice he instantly recognizes 'speaks' into it. there's a small wince which follows, before his jaw sets as though he's looking right at the other elite in-person. well, not that he ever looked 'at' someone, but details --
( okay mom, ) he relays back, ( at least i don't slurp constantly... and only do when making the point of being obnoxious for good reason. ) and if caitlin piped up from all the way over where she was, apparently had been successfully so. ( i'm no human-empath, thankfully, but i also don't need to have good vision to see how he feels about her. he wants to keep it under wraps, and practically flopped in the effort of doing so... 'course i'm gonna give him shit about it. )
on top of that, he ventured back out not too long after they got in. hopefully he didn't decide to do something dumb.
( and if anyone should tell someone they're doing a bad job of something - ) regardless of 'how' they told them, ( - it should probably be their best friend. )
undella beach party @psychicbloom
By 仮
@apocryphall !!
incoming string of texts from thorton...
this beach thing blows. it's hot. 👎
how'd you get out of it anyway?
unfair.
The series of texts brings the gentlest of sleepy smiles to Caitlin's face. Her reply comes unusually quickly, considering her average response times.
of course, it is dreadfully hot! you would not catch me dead out there, in this weather!
what can I say, though? my Champion knows me well, and our self-proclaimed lead Elite knows that I am best left undisturbed.
Either that, or he has a healthy respect for her powers. A smart one sometimes, Hyu.
what on Earth possessed you to attend a beach party, Thorton?
Perhaps, if she had known in advance that he would be there, she might have considered dropping by... she does own a villa in Undella Bay, after all.
"Oh, my... where did you all come from?" All this excitement and attention is certainly cutting into her nap time...
It’s a little bit funny that she represses her emotions to such extent that it’s very difficult for others to be able to tell when she’s experiencing a change in mood. A very excited Caitlin doesn’t look much different from a normal Caitlin at first glance; the little things that betray her emotions would be things like a lack of yawning or more animated conversation (at least relatively, since she is not exactly a conversationalist) about a person, place, or item.
HC. Caitlin’s psychic powers are heavily linked to her emotions. When she is calm, she can maintain complete control over them and use them as she pleases. When her emotions run high, however, her hold on them slips and they tend to run awry. Ultimately, the only way she can keep them from spiraling out of control is by remaining calm at all times. She achieves this by regulating her emotions with the help of her psychic pokémon. Since she is constantly suppressing said emotions, she often comes across as calm and elegant, though sometimes aloof.
BACKGROUND. As a child, Caitlin had an explosive temper and generally strong emotions that she struggled to control on her own. It was during a particular bout of rage over a battle loss that her psychic powers first fully manifested. Her emotions were so unhinged that she unleashed a wave of raw, devastating damage to the surrounding area and even injured a few passersby, to include Darach. Following that outburst, her parents forbade her from battling out of fear of her lashing out in a similar manner. Overcome by incredible guilt from hurting her most trusted servant, among others, Caitlin complied with her parents’ wishes… but she also grew restless in the time that followed.
Perhaps sensing Caitlin’s unrest and untapped psychic power, a Gothorita that Caitlin’s mother had caught but never really bothered to train befriended her during this time. From spending time with the pokémon and training with her, Caitlin learned how to better control her emotions, and thus her powers. That pokémon went on to become her own, and is now the Gothitelle that stands beside her in every major battle. Whenever Caitlin is under extreme stress, Gothitelle can usually be found close by to assist her in keeping her emotions in check.
She is certainly glad she's not in attendance at the beach party. Certain people's feelings are so LOUD, and she wishes they wouldn't so easily invade her head. This deep empathy of hers can be such a drag sometimes.
Caitlin's inner turmoil
As impassive as his features remain, there's no hiding his true feelings from Caitlin in this case.
Normally, she tries her best to give Thorton's thoughts the confidentiality they deserve... but when they're so LOUD, she can't help but overhear. A part of her wishes to state that he need not be so anxious over his self-proclaimed state of under-dress and that he looks just fine, but she has a feeling that it would only exacerbate the situation. Instead, she chooses to snatch up the opportunity he has presented her with.
She nods at his inquiry. "Let us grab some breakfast first. After, I would like to show you around the town."
There is a clever little pop-up boutique near Rosa's home that specializes in outfitting customers for the winter in timeless, no-fuss pieces. She recalls seeing something on the display windows that she believes will suit him nicely.
"Good morning, Thorton!" Caitlin is waiting for him when he finally exits his cabin, clad in a wonderfully fuzzy white winter coat and matching. "I hope you found your accomodations to your liking?" / from @psychicbloom
"Oh, good morning, Caitlin," Thorton stifles a yawn. Thanks to the incredible power of jetlag, Thorton has slept soundly for the first time in weeks in his Snom-themed cabin, a frosty little grub that he has yet to behold in person. There wasn't much about it that he took in before collapsing the night before, but at morning light, it was impossible to ignore how comfortable the space had been with it's soft white linens, and basal decorations.
"It's too bad we couldn't meet up yesterday, I—" I UNDERDRESSED! Thorton's mind immediately grows frantic the moment he sees Caitlin dressed so nicely for the festival, all in white and shining just like a fresh snowfall. It doesn't show on his quiet face — aside from a single twitch — as he crams his hands into his sweater pockets, all too aware of how drab he must seem next to her. My preparations appear to be suboptimal, I must have delayed too long...
"You—" His voice catches in his throat, and he nervously rolls a ball of lint he found in between his fingers. So many thoughts are colliding with one another, he's not sure which to address first.
"You look nice!" He spits it out at last, choosing not to focus so must on himself, lest he retreats back into the furthest depths of the cozy white cabin for the duration of the trip in shame. "Is there... something you'd like to do first?"
from @psychicbloom c:
OH, WOW... That's an 84% sheet completion! Impressive...! "I suppose it's to be expected... You have always had a way of better understanding me than everyone else." How does she do it, anyway??
