The Creator  Hearing what Adrianna had to say as he took his own lunch out, Kyle chuckled as well before taking a bite of his sandwich. "It was my pleasure," he replied sincerely. "I don't usually have the need to repair small things such as the violin. But... I felt it as an act of kindness and concern to fix it. After all, to have broken down over it... you are truly attached to it." Taking a few more bites in silence, he then said what he wanted to say... "Anna... I'm sorry about what happened to your grandmother..."

Ⱥɗɍɪɑɳɳɑ «ɗєʂҭʀσʏα» Ƞҽʋҽɍɧɑɍʈ Adrianna shrugged nonchalantly, "I just didn't let Destroya out to get revenge, otherwise I would most likely would have been fine after destroying everything they loved to smithereens, but you wouldn't understand the thrill of destroying things, I'm sure." She took out a can of soda and cracked it open before taking a sip of it and leaned back against the tree when he mentioned her grandmother. "She was the only other one to realize my powers when I was little. They just... sorta popped up one day and she caught me in the middle of my experimentation with them. She's the only reason why I can't use my powers against people themselves, just on objects or things in that general classification. She made me promise that I would never use them to destroy the human body or soul."
She smiled a little and looked up at the clouds as she spoke. "She gave me her violin and told me to create something for a change. That's when she got ill and, well, you know what took place after that. I stood by her side and held her hand as her life was drained away from her, vowing that I would do everything I could to prevent them from taking even more lives." She pushed some of her hair from her eyes and said with a sad laugh, "I know that the way I've been going about it is the wrong way, but... there's no other way that I know. My mind works like this: destroy or be destroyed."╔════════════════════════════════No good deed goes unpunished

The Creator Listening in silence to Adrianna, Kyle continued to eat his lunch. By the time she was finished, he had just taken the last bite from his meal and waited until after he had swallowed to respond. With a soft smile, he then moved his finger over and poked her nose.
"I think you're forgetting something," he finally stated. "If your mind was truly all about that, then you wouldn't have had the chance to create music. Perhaps, though, I could help you to find more things to increase your creative properties. Or, at the very least, satisfy your destructive nature in a... 'better' way, I suppose."

Ⱥɗɍɪɑɳɳɑ «ɗєʂҭʀσʏα» ȠҽʋҽɍɧɑɍʈAdrianna had finished her lunch and sat back again when he poked her nose in a good humored fashion before saying that he could satisfy her destructive nature in a more productive nature. She laughed as if he had just told a good joke. Her eyes held an ounce of power hunger and sheer insanity, "It'll never die down. It's like a wildfire, it won't be satisfied until either I am destroyed or until everything is destroyed. That is what it has said to me, that's its goal. I'm just a vessel, just like you are to your power." She then sighed, returning to her normal, emotionless state with a frown. "I apologize. You live to create, I live to destroy. But I want to contain it, because I want to live a normal life, if even for a day."
Suddenly she asked, "I don't suppose that you're going to show up at the first round of the music festival tonight, are you?"╔════════════════════════════════No good deed goes unpunished

The Creator Kyle's reaction to the sudden cheerful, yet insane, look Adrianna held was one of concern. Her words spoke of a mind that had already accepted her destiny... When her gaze reverted back to normal, he listened as she continued on. Live a normal life... Was that possible for her? His life was easier, truly... His urge to create things was quelled easily through his normal day routines, only using them when he knew it to be truly important.
Hearing her question, though, he looked at her for a moment before chuckling. "I don't usually go to those things, honestly," he said as a grin formed on his face. "If a certain someone were to invite me, however, I would go."

Ⱥɗɍɪɑɳɳɑ «ɗєʂҭʀσʏα» Ƞҽʋҽɍɧɑɍʈ"It's a pity that you don't, because the winners almost always become famous musicians if they get to the national competition. Those that even get in are bound to get scholarships to music and music production colleges." Adrianna looked over at him and then smiled, "If you would like to come, I would be more than happy to have at least one person there in support of me."
She then heard the bell ring and nearly jumped. She hadn't been expecting the lunch our to come to such a quick end and stood up, gathering up her stuff. She rolled out her shoulders and took the violin case in one hand and threw her backpack over the other shoulder before she said, "Tryouts start right now, but the city competition starts tonight. Perhaps I'll see you there?" She was confident in her abilities to play the violin and knew taht she had a good chance of making it in, since she was on a higher level than the other high schoolers.╔════════════════════════════════No good deed goes unpunished

The Creator Hearing her response, he chuckled silently from her words. She was asking him to come, based on that statement, though she didn't make it mandatory as to avoid the necessity of friendship. It was understandable, she had been alone for herself for who knows how long... Hearing what she said as she stood up, he gave her a soft nod before stating, "Perhaps you shall..."
By the time she had walked off did he realized that the bell must have rang. As such, he hastily went to clean up his trash and make it over to his next class...

Ⱥɗɍɪɑɳɳɑ «ɗєʂҭʀσʏα» ȠҽʋҽɍɧɑɍʈAdrianna entered the nearly empty classroom in which she had been assigned to tryout within and watched as several other students tried out, many of which were visibly shaking and frightful about being watched while they played, and Adrianna couldn't help but find their fear pathetic. It was revolting, to be exact. But the moment that her name was called, she felt her hands begin to shake and become clammy. Fear is disgusting. Her mind thought furiously as she imagined her fear being torn and shredded before being burned. When it was completely 'destroyed', she grinned as she tilted her head downwards, to have her bangs cover the mad smile spreading on her face. So that's how you destroy non-material things? Had I known that it was that easy, I would have torn up so many people's minds up by now that it wouldn't be funny.
When she walked to the front of the room and turned, her face was void of all emotions. Resting her violin on her shoulder, she looked to the judges and noted that they were bored. Well, they won't be for long. She thought as she took a deep breath and waiting for their approval before beginning to play the music that she had practiced just that morning. To some it was called "The Song of Rebirth", but she knew fully well that it meant 'destruction'. By the end of her piece, she finally looked to them and noted that they all nodded and were talking amongst themselves in hushed voices before dismissing the students.
By the end of the school day, the results had been posted and only the top picks from each room was posted. Adrianna had won the first round and shrugged a little as several of the people that she would be playing against later congratulated her. The bell rang and the normal students began to flood from the classrooms and she held her violin case over her shoulder as she overheard several kids talking in loud voices about how she had most likely cheated. Others actually wondered how well she played and wondered when she had even begun playing an instrument instead of being glued to her studies.
The second round, the school-wide one that would decide the best musician in the school to send to state, would begin that evening in the auditorium. Formal attired was required of the participants and Adrianna nearly gagged herself. She hated wearing dresses and hadn't worn one in several years, to be exact. Damn it! I don't even know if I possess one of those....╔════════════════════════════════No good deed goes unpunished

The Creator Despite his day being stuck in classes, Kyle was able to overhear about the results by the end of the day. Silently, he smirked to himself... He had recalled Adrianna telling him once about her determination to be better at everything. Well, maybe not so much but Destroya... Regardless, it wasn't too surprising to him to hear that she was at the top. With determination like that, there wasn't anything she couldn't accomplish. That made him happy for her... and concerned.
Exiting the school, he began his walk over to the street when he noticed Adrianna standing. Walking up to her, he gently placed his hand on her shoulder as he stated, "Heard you did amazing at the tryouts today. Sounds like you were able to create some impressions."

Ⱥɗɍɪɑɳɳɑ «ɗєʂҭʀσʏα» ȠҽʋҽɍɧɑɍʈAdrianna felt a hand touch her shoulder and immediately flinched away, turning, prepared to defend herself, but it was only Kyle and so she calmed down. She shrugged a little, pushing away the compliments as she had done the other people. "I guess... I mean... all I did was play a difficult piece. The others just chose super easy music. Just because I can play harder sheet music doesn't make me any better than them, just as being Destroya doesn't mean that I don't feel the pain of this world any more or less than others."
She smiled a little and said, "How was the rest of your day, though? It'd probably be more eventful than listening to my blabbering." A small glimmer of humanity had entered her eyes, showing that she actually was truly concerned with the rest of his day. She wouldn't tell him that she had uncovered the ability to temporarily destroy fear or any other emotion for that matter. He might find her less than human and rid of her as quickly as possible.╔════════════════════════════════No good deed goes unpunished

The Creator Listening to Adrianna, Kyle remained silent in speech but nodded his head in acknowledgment to her words. It seemed to him that she was beginning to understand the other spectrum of life, but he didn't honestly believe that she would be heading down that path just yet. When she asked him about his day, however, there was... something in her eyes. It wasn't so much a glimmer or flash of color, though. It went deeper than that... There was... sincere interest, something that she, well, never truly showed until that day he started speaking to her.
"Eh... Classes and the usual. Though... I have been thinking over your invitation to this music competition. That said, I... wasn't informed on where it would be held, school or elsewhere." Looking at her with his own sincerity, he then said, "...Would you like to come by my place? It's kind of selfish on my part, but from there I could follow you to the competition easily." He didn't expect her to agree. In fact, he was pretty sure she would decline this.

Ⱥɗɍɪɑɳɳɑ «ɗєʂҭʀσʏα» ȠҽʋҽɍɧɑɍʈAdrianna listened to his words and when he invited her over to his place, she felt as if something had slapped her upside the head. Flinching a little, she wanted nothing more than to yell at him to leave her alone. She looked down, her bangs covering her face as several emotions raged over her face. She didn't want to turn him down, mostly because she felt the loneliness dawn upon her fully for the first time in a long time. Every time he'd spoken with her, she'd gotten to know herself a little better. Her wanting to actually hold up a conversation with him and looking forward to speaking with him before school and during lunch had made her realize, bit by bit, how lonely she truly was. But this took the cake. He'll kill you the moment that you turn your back on him! No... no. I know better than that. He values life above all else. Keep out of this, Destruction.
Finally, she looked up, an uneasy smile on her face, "I would love to." She'd barely won the battle within herself, her loneliness proving helpful for the first time in a long while. "I'll have to leave early, though... I'll have to hunt through my house for formal attire... dresses have never failed to make me gag."╔════════════════════════════════No good deed goes unpunished

The Creator Watching her head drop gave Kyle the impression of no, which was understandable. As he was just about to accept the declination, his mouth dropped when she raised her head and said she would love to. ...Did she just say that? Was she serious? Strangely enough, he did believe her on this. There was something about the way she spoke that told him so...
With a nod, he then said, "I... see. Well, then let's go, shall we?" Raising a hand up in gesture to take hers, he then gave her a soft smile as he said, "A dress? Well, I might be able to... help you obtain you, if necessary," His statement came with a soft wink, as being the Creator could possibly prove handy tonight...

Ⱥɗɍɪɑɳɳɑ «ɗєʂҭʀσʏα» ȠҽʋҽɍɧɑɍʈAdrianna placed her hands in the pockets of her black coat, declining his offer to take her hand. She was quite content being empty-handed, for she could already see plenty of people staring at them with their prying eyes. If only I could make all of their eyes explode... She thought with longing before pushing the very notion out of her mind.
She walked alongside him and glanced up at him with a small smirk. "I think you're just trying to get my measurements. Sorry, I'm flatter than a board and am too bony to be of much modeling material. Though I could image you starting your own fashion industry called 'Critical Creations'." She said this with a joking tone of voice, feeling herself able to joke around with him openly. Personally, she hated the feeling of holding back when she was around him. She wouldn't be able to fight him, even when she was Destroya... for she wouldn't be able to bring herself to come to the final blow. Though she knew that it would most likely end up that way. Tragic really...╔════════════════════════════════No good deed goes unpunished

The Creator Seeing how she reacted to the hand, he nodded as he withdrew it. With that, he began walking on with her at his side. As he led her on to his house, he overheard her comment about the dress and laughed wholeheartedly.
"Indeed, I would have to get your measurements in order to make you something of that design. That said, though, at least you would know that it was made specifically for you, at no charge or cost."
