There had been so much on your mind lately but it becomes harder and harder to care much about anything the more you relax here, and how easy that is to do. Living it up like this, it's all the convincing you need for commitment to your chosen lifestyle of supervillainy, and it's all the more motivation to continue doing and succeeding as you have been. If nothing else, to finally get a taste of the good life and doing what it takes to afford such expenses.
<span class="mu-b">"...ooough, why even bother going back at this point? Every day like this- agh! N-No massage please, no thank you!"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"It's part of the skincare service. The routine works better when-"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"I-I'm fine as it is, this is good! No massage... no thank you."</span>
A bit of an awkward exchange about anyone touching you, which tends to be a frequent concern at least at the resort spa for obvious reasons. Although your abilities have improved to be better than they were, you're still not at a point where you'd feel comfortable making such bodily contact with another person. The risk of them noticing anything strange about your elastic self, although reduced is still too much for you to tolerate. Otherwise though, you enjoy a splendid time for every other therapy service they offer, and even the seemingly silly ones that feel like a waste of money (like an aural sound bath?!) are still enjoyable to you for being able to afford such frivolous expenses.
So that when you walk out feeling better than you can remember ever having felt, you're happy and confident enough to finally head down to the beach without a care. Not as nervous out in your swimwear, which seems odd since you never mind your skimpy supervillain attire but then, that's as Stretch Goals the fearless supervillain! As Caroline Cross, well... you're more used to oversized hoodies and baggy pants. But you're feeling good about yourself right now, it's the off-season and beaches aren't thronged with tourists, and it's late in the day now so you can push self-consciousness aside for awhile.
<span class="mu-b">"-oop! Almost! Lemme try... c'mere! Ahh, if only... well maybe not Travis, but someone... ha! Gotcha!"</span>
How many years has it been since you visited the, or any coast? It's been so long that you can easily spend several hours alone between the shore and the surf. And this time around you're no longer afraid of your own abilities, so wading in the ocean for you takes on a new meaning, as you're able to stretch your body out to such heights while always keeping your head above the water. You even try to experiment a little and end up exercising yourself and your abilities, as stretching and moving underwater is a completely different experience and actually rather exhausting after enough time and effort doing it. You could easily imagine becoming quite physically fit if you made this a regular effort, imagine how well you'd be able to stretch on land if you got used to doing it underwater?
