Sept. 5th: A Familiar Song

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

Sept. 5th: A Familiar Song

Postby Winifred Winters » Sat Oct 18, 2014 6:37 pm

Early in the morning, Winn was in the music room. She was sitting in the window with her eyes closed. The sun was rising and the room was filled with a soft and gentle light, but Winn didn't seem to care much. She was singing.

The song had no words or lyrics. It was just an arrangement of sounds. And while Winn wasn't an amazing singer or musician, she was much better then people might think but she wasn't exactly classically trained, the song seemed to be carefully composed into mindbendingly complex movements.

It wasn't long before someone else came into the room. Veronica seemed to have a few pieces of what looked like old parchment, likely sheet music. Beginning to make her way to the piano, she stops when she hears Winn's voice, smiling softly.

Winn doesn't seem to notice Veronica, she's too engrossed singing along with the song she keeps hearing in her head.

Broken.

The awful memory of golden glowing eyes staring at her comes to mind and her voice falters and cracks. She grits her teeth in frustration and suddenly kicks over one of the music stands.

When she finally notices Veronica, she looks away. Her face is red and she looks embarrassed.

"You could have said something," Winn says sullenly.

"My apologizes, but I was enjoying your singing. I did not mean to intrude." She dips her head apologetically.

"Yeah, well next time knock or something before you come in," Winn says. Her heart wasn't much into fighting right now.

"You're lucky it was just me. I'm pretty sure people fuck in here. Like, all the time," Winn says.

She blinks a few times. "U-um..." She kept her hands away from the objects around her. Nope. Didn't want to see any of that. She then looked at the piano. Oh no...

"You...uh...really sink so?" It was obvious she was not used to that kind of talk and it made her cheeks flush a bit.

"We're a coed high school-slash-university of mutants," Winn says. "I'd be surprised if there's a single surface on this campus that hasn't seen some sort of action."

"Zat is...unfortunate." She says, coughing a bit before quickly changing the subject. "My name is Veronica. Eet is a pleasure."

She pauses as she looks at the hand. In no way shape or form did she want to be rude, but at the same time she had no idea if she may accidentally invade Winn's memories.

"I...I apologize, but I do not sink it would be wise. Part off what I am able to do is see past memories. It used to only be through objects, mais lately I have been able to unintentionally see people's memories by touch. Please do not take offense, I simply do not wish to accidentally intrude."

Winn looks amused, but shrugs, "Sure. Fine. No skin off of my back."

She makes like she's going to turn away, but then steps towards Veronica and attempts to suddenly kiss the girl.

Veronica wasn't expecting anything like that. As Winn turns, she looks back to the piano and is caught COMPLETELY off guard by Winn's kiss-attack.

"So, get anything good?" Winn asks, smirking.

She stares at Winn, blinking a few times in confusion. Her cheeks are probably bright red and she starts sputtering. "W-why...why would y-you...I could have..."

She shows no signs of anger. It's more embarrassment and shock than anything.

"Too bad," Winn says with a dramatic sigh. She shrugs her shoulders, "Guess you're not as dangerous as you think."

"Not a bad kisser for being surprised though. Around a thirty-three, actually."

"I...it's not a danger I worry about, I simply do not sink it is right to intrude on people's minds..." Her face flushes more. "S-sank you?" She had no idea what to say to that.

"Mon dieu..." Continuing to blush like mad, she is at a loss for words. Coming in to play piano then having a first kiss without knowing it was coming? This was an interesting day.

She gives a bit of a smile. "Sank you. I will keep zat in mind." Slowly she makes her way to the piano. Luckily, she had control over what she could see from actual items so if she didn't want to see who had sex on the musical instrument, she didn't have to. She pretended to believe it just didn't happen. Striking a few of the notes, the sound of chords that may match what Winn was singing earlier ring through.

"What song were you singing?"

"Yeah, I'm not sure there's a lot of a difference these days," Winn says. She looks out the window at the golden, glowing figure only she can see. Staring at her.

"I mean, it's basically everywhere," Winn says. "Though it's a little different each time and depends on where you are and stuff like that."

"You can't hear it right now?"

"I hear nosing. Perhaps eet is a calling off some type?" While she may have thought Winn was a bit weird, she generally had a positive outlook on people and didn't think she was crazy. Yet.
