Her trek out to try and make use of the ring for the betterment of other people saw her heading to the beach. Katie remembered the beach in town being a place where a number of the more highly attractive locals and tourists came to both sun their hides and try to find a passionate moment by moment relationship. She'd never really found a place there, but now she figured she might well interest the local athletes and bodybuilders who frequented the beach, and might offer challenge to the women who typically took such men home.
Today was of course a sunny day, much to Katie's delight, because this meant that she could have a wide pallet of people with whom to alter or change as was needed. Katie did find herself admitting that it would be pretty tempting to just change people and see how things progressed - or regressed for that matter - but she knew irresponsible use of this ring would probably have a way of backfiring on her down the line. And she definitely had no inclination toward that.
Despite her lack of typical engagement here, she did know more than a few of the people here.
As she walked down from the street line down a small flight of stairs on to the beach, she saw the people here definitely seemed to be out and about, letting Katie get in some quick hellos and courtesies besides with those she knew. But by and large this was a bustling, busy place and full of people she'd not met. Pretty exciting, considering she might well be changing some of them if she saw fit to do so.
One of the first people she saw, emerging from swimming out in the water, was the wetsuit clad Owen Reedy, a tall, tanned hunk known as a local bodybuilder. Owen was about 21 years old, and had been working out for 8 years, ever since he was just 13, and apparently even then he had always been very athletic and strong besides. Owen's peroxide blond hair was perplexingly his natural color, as Katie had always figured he dyed it, but that, together with his blue eyes, made him a bit of a charmer. Katie like many girls from town nursed a crush on "Big Owen", owing to both his size and his good natured personality - Owen was a flirty type but never when it was unwelcome, and he was pleasant besides.
Next she saw Duncan Luddell, another of the local strongmen and a common workout partner for Owen. About 10 years older than Owen, Duncan was an African American, kept his hair somewhat long, and tried to keep his masculine face a pretty sort of handsome rather than the rough sort that came naturally to him. Duncan styled himself a dandy even if his look didn't immediately affirm this. He was after all though one of the most knowledgeable sorts around on fashion and face care. It didn't take much for Katie to know Duncan was a closeted bisexual, pining after Owen. Whether Owen might reciprocate was unknown, though Katie did admit the idea was hot.
Another figure on the beach was Kevin Harlton II, a local rich man who Owen and Duncan had trained for a while. Hair slightly receded and grayed at the temples, Kevin nevertheless went from an almost typical opulent corpulence to a vastly more appealing muscular frame almost amazing in its totality - Kevin despite being 45 looked like he had the body of a man half his age. While his face was marked with the typical identifiers of age, he still had a remarkably handsome appearance. According to some local women Katie was friends with, Kevin was not the sort you made a long term relationship with, more content in serial monogamy.
Sarah Greaves was the long suffering secretary of Kevin Harlton, and she joined him today on the beach. She long tried to keep him organized, but ever since his turn toward fitness, Sarah had been remarkably unsuited for this endeavor. She was a rather pretty, petite young woman who sometimes tried to ply her attractiveness with Kevin, who usually reciprocated. Sarah always seemed to scrutinize those her boss showed interest in, as if trying to gauge for whether the new woman to grace Kevin's bedsheets was going to try for the gold digger act.
And lastly, there was Erin Howard, Owen's on again off again girlfriend. Her non-stage name was Erin Kourin, but she went by Erin Howard due to her acting career and the stereotypes Hollywood types tended to have about Asians. Erin typically fretted about Owen, and when they were together it was usually for a period before she needed to head back off to some attempt at a Hollywood gig. Even still, she was never exactly the type to insist on exclusivity, and was open to Owen bringing home a girl for a menage a trois, though she still held out hope one day she might get a MMF version of the above out of Owen. Twas her most common fantasy, often vented to Katie when Owen refused for one reason or another.
And so, with these familiar faces in mind, Katie pondered who she was going to age or regress out of them...
