Cressida LinWoke before the mornin' sun I found it tucked beneath the hills I sat and watched it rise It hit the sky and burst to flames Cressida considered it for a moment. Her father had taught her rudimentary guitar, but she had never really shown any skill for it. "Not really... unless, maybe... vocal?" The words had hardly left her mouth before her hand flew up to close it, leaving her nervously biting on a pinkie nail. She never thought of herself as all that good, but... what could it hurt to try?
Oh, wait.
Everything. Look outside the box, my friend! Your heart's been dead since who knows when? It seems we've missed the mark, lost all hope and given in.

Zhori  Zhori had to stop herself from squealing when Cressida mentioned she might like to focus on vocal skills. "Really?" she asked, face lighting up as she grabbed the girl's hands. "That's perfect! That's absolutely perfect." Oh yes. This one was hers. She absolutely refused to share. If any other professor got close to her, Zhori would simply have to, have to...have to bap them on the head with a drum stick or something. "That is my specialty too, actually. I didn't think I would get any students who wanted to hone their voices. And you have such a sweet voice too, you probably sing beautifully." Eeeee! She wanted to bounce. Maybe there wouldn't be any other students who were interested in music and she could just focus all her time on this one. Which actually might be a little creepy and obsessive, but she was just so excited. This was going to be fun!

Cressida LinWoke before the mornin' sun I found it tucked beneath the hills I sat and watched it rise It hit the sky and burst to flames Cressida simply stared at Zhori, like a deer in the headlights, her hands taken by her and just watching. "But, I'm not any... I just... I really only sing along to the radio... 'cause, well I'm not exactly... loud... or... anything." Cressida stammered, bowing her head and looking up slantway at the woman who seemed to be happy as punch, or however the stupid saying went. Look outside the box, my friend! Your heart's been dead since who knows when? It seems we've missed the mark, lost all hope and given in.

Zhori "Well," Zhori said, drawing the word out slightly. "You must like singing or else you wouldn't consider making it a specialty at all, right? It's not as if you have to have had special training, or performance experience to enjoy doing something."
"We just have to help you build confidence. Learning how to project and all that, comes with time. I also didn't really have any experience when I stared performing but I picked up al ot of tricks along the way. If you decide you wish to be a vocalist, that just means I get to show you everything I know. I'm looking forward to it.
She grinned and gave the girl's hands a squeeze. "Now, is there anything else you need? With no school, I'm sure you don't want to be stuck inside all day."

Angel McWell ☠  "I just don't care."
Angel walked into the music room with her hands tucked into her pocket. Clinging to her body was her guitar strap to her back. She glanced around, Angel was looking for a single room with speakers to connect her electric guitar with. Angel walked up to the first room she saw and inspected it. She didn't see any speakers so she moved on to another room. Eventually Angel found a room with one speaker, it made up for two due to its size. She looked at Mikal and lifted her hand and gently moved her fingers. "Well, we made it to the music room. " Angel said to Mikal.

  Mikal fallowed Angel into music room, he to found his own personal room to practice violin in. He heard Angel's voice and looked at her after opening the door to a room. "Yes Angel, we did." Mikal mentioned bluntly. After staring at Angel for seconds he finally turned his head and entered into his quiet room. The door closed behind. Mikal seated in a stool an held his violin properly.

Angel McWell ☠  "I just don't care."
Angel smiled, she felt like smiling when Mikal looked away. Angel walked into her personal room and plugged her electric guitar into the speakers. She tested the speakers by rubbing her fingers against the strings. The sound of her guitar exploited the speaker and sang. Angel slid her hand on the neck of her guitar and laid her thumb onto the lower part of the strings. (Yeah, go for it.)

  Mikal inhaled air and closed his eyes, as soon as he released the air he placed the bow upon strings attached to the violin. Once his hand that was carefully holding the bow slowly moved a beautifully shocking sound released from the violin. As Mikal played a slow violin solo his fingers near the handle strictly shifted vibrantly and quickly. His stiffened body slowly shimmered along with the music as if he was a wave part of the ocean. A few minutes after a slow solo the voice of the violin began to scream a high pitch noise, the solo turn quickly into a fast and harsh solo. Mikal became still as statue, every now and then he would open his eyes slightly and flicker the difference between dark brown and a beautiful shinning gold. The bow that was protected by Mikal's fingers moved along with the strings and so did his mind. He was completely hypnotized by his own music that he had forgot he was still in an academy. In his mind he imagined himself in front of both his families, biological and adopted. They were watching him play, some of his audience were smiling and others stared with orange, red or golden eyes. Mikal knew what each color meant, the meaning of the color was really important in his family. The tone of the song change again after another set of minutes, this time it was a mixture, bipolar music. The image in Mikal's mind changed into darkness, complete pitch black. Sometimes he'll see flashes of light, then a red color although mostly black. Mikal's body moved along with the music which looked like a violent shimmer, sharp and forceful. While all of this was happening an random image irrupted him. It was Angel's face winking at him, immediately Mikal took a step back and opened his eyes. The beautiful golden color darkened into brown. It was strange, Mikal's throat only felt dry during the play of his music but that was beside the point. He wanted to know why Angel was on his mind. Mikal looked around the room for an abandoned violin case, he found a old leather brown one without a name. It was wrong to steal but in this situation he did it anyway. Carefully packing his violin and bow in the case he closed it then clicked it shut. Mikal walked over to the door, before leaving he saw Angel in the other practice room. He opened the door to the room he was in and walked over to her room and watched her play through the window in the door. [Oki, it's your turn. x.x; So much editing.] Serpentinite Dorm.

Angel McWell ☠  "I just don't care."
Angel set in position after plugging in her guitar for power, she tested the sound of her strings from the speaker. She snatched her beanie off her head and threw it onto a seat. She stared at the speaker while tangling her fingers with the strings. It sounded perfect, it was always perfect. Angel jumped right into her solo, her index finger pressed against her thumb while she plucked the strings. The sound blasted through the speakers and she swore she felt wind. Angel's other hand was sliding and pressing down on the lower neck of the guitar continuously. At first Angel played around and bubbled her head to the rhythm of the sound, after the silliness was over she looked at her guitar to see the speed of her fingers. The tone increased and lowered like a quick repeat. It was an incredible sound to hear, pleasure to her ears. She smiled and looked upward, while she stared at the ceiling Angel's fingers near the neck of the guitar dragged upwards. The sound of her guitar tone screeched and dragged for a few seconds. Angel stopped dragging the tone of her guitar then quickly changed her rhythm. This rhythm could easily compared to a Tom Morello's solos. As she continue to play her guitar Angel looked at the speaker again. She liked seeing the middle of the black circle vibrate to the sound of her guitar. Hearing her guitar scream was like jumping off a cliff and flying away from everything that was a problem or facing the problems with help. Maybe giving her guts to do something, in reality Angel couldn't face her childhood, and she wasn't going to face anything that caused her pain. She was coward, a lonely coward. The only thing that kept Angel sane was her guitar, people didn't last forever so she didn't look towards them. Angel slowly shook her head, she was dragging the sound but she made the tone low and high. She did this about three times then made her finishing her touch. Her finishing touch was a quick jibber jabber from her mind, a twist in her head that didn't belong, screams that should be let out. Cries that should dry and death that shouldn't have happened. That was her finishing touch and she wished that she wasn't the only person who understood that. Angel fell to her knees and took her hands off her guitar, the sound of her guitar slowly went away while she leaned her back against a wall and stared forward. She hated feeling sorry for herself, it only made her cry but she couldn't help it. She felt her eyes watered and whipped her eyes before the tears came out. She didn't want the salty wet tears to get on her guitar. (I know how you feel.Lmao)

  Mikal watched Angel play, he noticed something different about her. Her emotions were all over the place and it was disturbing. She wasn't like this in the hallway and Mikel knew this. Mikal figured that Angel must have been hiding her emotions, she was so good at it that he couldn't even tell from the start. For the first time he felt something in his chest, a warming strong beat. It sickened him and he felt like puking. After seeing Angel glance into the air he took a step back. Another heart beat happen and more stomach pain. Mikal continued to watch, deep inside he want to stop but his father always told him to face his fear. He wasn't sure what this was but he had to face it. When Angel made her finishing touch Mikal noticed a different pattern in her fingers and a painful facial expression on her face. It looked as if she was in pain but Mikal didn't' understand that. He felt the beat again and it continued. He was confused about this whole situation. After Angel fell to her knees Mikal took a step forward and watched her closely. She looked angry now. For some odd reason he wanted to ask what was wrong but he didn't, shouldn't have been watching her anyway but he couldn't move. He just stood there watching her. Why couldn't he move?

Angel McWell ☠  "I just don't care."
Angel Leaned her head back on a wall, from the corner of her eye she saw Mikal's creepy eyes gazing her. She turned away from him and gasped while covering her mouth with both her hands. Angel's face turned bright pink and glanced back at Mikal. Angel jumped on her feet and quickly unpluged her guitar from the power and the speaker. She opened the door and walked out of the single practice room. Angel swung her hand and smacked Mikal's arm. "What the Fu*& Do you think you're doing? Watching me play? Your such a freaking- UGH! What the Fu*& What The Fu*&?!" Angel yelled. She was so embarrassed she couldn't think straight and face was really hot, it made her want to scream. She wanted to punch Mikal in the face.

  Mikal wanted to laugh at Angel, he saw her face and it was humorous to him but he didn't. Instead he stood there and sighed. "Angel, You need to calm down. We need to talk about something." Mikal said quietly. Serpentinite Dorm.

Angel McWell ☠  "I just don't care."
Angel shook her head and threw her hands in front of his face. Her guitar was still hanging in front of her body. "Mikal! I don't want to talk about it okay? Just leave me alone okay?" Angel properly strapped her guitar to her back and took deep breaths. The only reason she wanted to calm down was so she could go into the hallway without causing attention to herself. Angel walked back into the practice room to grasp her beanie and put it back on her head. She walked back out and stared at Mikal. "Why are you still looking at me?"

  Mikal sighed again, he was thinking of ways to calm Angel down and to answer her question at the same time. "Your beautiful when you play your guitar Angel." Mikel said gently, he felt his heart beat again. It was annoying. "The sounds you made when you express your emotion are astonishing Angel. You don't have to tell me what's wrong. I understand that we just met but I have to tell you something important thought." Serpentinite Dorm.

Angel McWell ☠  "I just don't care."
Angel just stared at him for a good minute, no one has ever told her that. She usually wouldn't let anyone listen unless they were sneak up behind her. Angel sighed and gave in, at least Mikal didn't expect her to talk but she also didn't want to hear what he had to say either. "Mikal, you understand that we just met then you would totally hold off on what you're going to say." Angel said quickly.
