He made himself take a breath, and another. It didn’t help.
The hand….felt, that was good, he’d never have forgiven them if they’d given him something that didn’t give him at least the implication of being what fit into his personal idea of normal.
But it still didn’t feel right, didn’t feel the same.
The sensations it gave weren’t the ones he expected, and that meant that playing, even now was far more a struggle than he felt it should have been.
If it had been his bow hand, maybe it wouldn’t have felt so much like a personal offence. More so because there was the uncertainty.

He swore, not so quietly into the dark, pacing back and forth and flexing out the fingers of his ‘odd’ hand. It looked so.. Normal when he wasn’t in uniform, and it almost pissed him off. No, it really did piss him off though he could also appreciate the practicality of it. It just didn’t feel right because it didn’t match what he remembered of his hand, no more than his face -quite- matched up what it should have when he woke up.

He lifted the violin again, exhaling sharply and started carefully to go through the cords, trying to relearn how it felt to move against the strings, how hard to press, how to slide fingers that weren’t really flesh any longer.

The last part being important, he could make some very… unfortunate sounds if he wasn’t careful, let alone what a metal finger tip could do to a string

Sapphirine was always drawn to the music of a violin, though sometimes…she was more drawn to it at other times…and sometimes…well. She figured that whatever small child was playing the violin…they didn’t really deserve to be.

Sure, people needed time to learn but…it was a learning curve and if you weren’t perfect by now…well. Then obviously your starseed was forfeit.

Quietly, the corrupt moved closer to the source of the music, and she was surprised when it wasn’t a child practicing at all, but a fully grown, pissed off looking young man.

Well. Then his starseed was definitely forfeit.

She melted out of the shadows and watched him for a space, shaking her head slowly. “You know, it’s really bad form to butcher such a beautiful instrument like that.”

Closer. She had to get close enough to touch him to get any energy…if only she were stronger and this wouldn’t be a setback but…Sapphirine took another few steps over, holding out her hands for the violin. “Shall I show you how it’s really done?”

Eyes narrowed at her, suspicion, and then a small disbelieving laugh. “Before, or after you try and take my energy, or my starseed?”
He arched an eyebrow at her and tilted his head as though he were studying something new and interesting found in an unexpected place.
“I’ll advise against trying either.”

There was a tight set to his jaw as he spoke.

He folded his arms, careful about the instruments, and shook his head slowly.
“You’re new… what’s your, ‘name’?”

His reaction took her by surprise, causing Sapphirine to draw away and purse her lips in confusion. “…Interesting. And what made you think that I was going to do any of those things? How do you even know about those things?”

Was he a senshi? Was this a trap? Did he know she was coming…? Should she run or attack him or…

“Sapphirine. My name is Sapphirine and I am the senshi of Orcas. Why. Who the hell are you?”

She couldn’t feel any other order auras around…though her eyes flickered to the left and to the right just in case. If this was a trap…if this was something she had walked into without thinking…if she got hurt, well. If she got hurt Haumea would be annoyed with her…and she really didn’t want him to be annoyed…and she really didn’t want him to be angry…

The corrupt forced herself to focus on the male in front of her. “Why?” She asked again, clearly preparing for a fight.

“I’ll give you a hint, I’m not with the side of ‘Order’” He rolled his eyes at the last word.

He pursed his lips and sighed.
“Can you feel, any other powered people at the moment?” He asked, carefully putting his instrument into his case. “Because I can, perhaps, answer your question for you in short order.

He nudged the case close and clicked the locks, shaking out the hand that he’d been moving across the frets, hissing through his teeth.

“Why is because I don’t know you, why is because I was gone long enough you slipped in when I couldn’t notice. So I wanted to know your name. It’s safer to ask that than to tell you mine, when I can’t so easily tell if anyone else is listening.”

She watched him carefully, nodding slowly. “All right. Not order is a good start at least but…” Sapphirine paused, once again glancing around them. “There aren’t…any other powered anythings in the area except for me so…if you’re interested in showing who you are…”

She shrugged, fixing her eyes once more on the blue haired male.

“Well. I don’t know you either so. Her eyes moved to his hand for a moment, frowning. “You know, if you’re not used to playing, you really shouldn’t push yourself. Did you just start? I’m more than happy to offer some lessons if you’re ever interested. Anything to help my fellow…”

The corrupt looked at him and then shrugged again. “Whatever you are.”
But not order. He wasn’t with the senshi or the knights…so that had to be a good thing. Right? This clearly couldn’t…be a trap. She hoped. Hoped and believed, as Sapphirine relaxed just slightly and even ventured a smile.

He gave a bitter laugh
“ I’d just gotten a scholarship, for my ability to play before…. Well…” He shook his head and took a breath, drumming fingers against his hip as though he were weighing the pros and cons of what he was about to do.

He then did a teasing bow, and as he straightened, he changed. From unknown young man, to.. A dark mask, long coat, chains and keys, tall boots and epaulets.

“I don’t suppose, you know my name?” He sighed, lifting the hand that he’d shaken out moments before to glance with frustration at… metal fingers.

Strong.

That was the only word that came into Sapphirine’s mind when the male changed.

Her eyes widened and she gaped at him for a moment before shaking her head. “I don’t know your name, I’m sorry.” She wondered why she didn’t know him though. Obviously someone this powerful should be…known

She would ask Haumea. He would know if nobody else did.

“So…what is your name? You are obviously a part of the Negaverse...and you are obviously strong…”

Her eyes lingered on the metal fingers that…had they been there before? She couldn’t quite remember. She didn’t think so though.

“So…you’re having issues playing because of your hand, hm? Well. Just. Were your fingers metal a second ago because…I think I’m losing my mind.” The words tumbled out without much thought. Only after her mind had caught up did she realize that perhaps…it was a little rude. “I’m still game to help you, if you’d want.”

He gave a soft laugh. “No, they weren’t… well, correct that, they were, but there’s a, special stone embedded in the arm, it makes it look normal when I’m not in uniform.”

He wave his ‘normal’ hand at the forearm, a vague implication that it was somewhere within.

“Zinkenite, my name is Zinkenite.”

“If you’re willing, I’m game to have someone work with me while I try and make this, damn thing work the way I feel like it should.” He hissed.

“But I’ll warn you, my temper isn’t the best right now. Not that I’d try and take it out on you just because I’m having trouble with music. But, I will probably yell, a few times.” He admitted and shook his head apologetic.

“Tell me about yourself, have you, rather, did you start with us? Or did we perhaps recruit you from the other side of things?”

“Zinkenite, hm?” Her mind was spinning from the thought of a special false arm. What a crazy thing that was!

She shook her head slightly, then smiled at him. “Well. I’m not very patient myself so we’ll just have to see how that goes. But. We can work something out. It might be fun to have someone to play with though. I won’t lie. Do you like cats? I have a few. They’re very cute.”

Sapphirine grinned, thinking of the two gambling creatures. She adored them utterly.

“If by started with you do you mean have I always looked like this? Yes. I’ve been around for a few years but.”

She gave a sigh. Manners. Haumea would have had his hand on her starseed if she had spoken so freely to him like this. He would have done more if he could have…but.

“I apologize. My superior has been trying to teach me respect but. It’s not sinking in well. See, I’m used to getting my way no matter what so…” The corrupt shrugged. “Sorry if I’m being rude. You’re obviously stronger than I am and I’m supposed to treat you better.”

“Regarding cats, that rather depends, do you mean real cats, or the ones that have the unfortunate ability to talk back to you?”

“As for back talk, Your mentor is correct, you should… respect the rank someone carries, but, respecting them personally, that comes from seeing what they do, and learning what they have done.”
He rolled his shoulder, half a shrug.

“Past that, you must simply be mindful that there are consequences to any action, regardless of rank, or experience.” He flexed the metal hand. “If you’re exceptionally rude, I’ll deal with it, I can live with rude. I am of a sort, accustomed to it, or I was. I am sure I will become so again.”

He squeezed his eyes closed for a moment and exhaled.

“So whom is your superior?” He asked tipping his head Part of him at least hoped for a familiar name, though he was hardly counting on it.
PostPosted: Sun Sep 30, 2018 10:15 am


“Ah, real cats. Not the talking kind…but if we’re being honest, I kind of hope one of them starts talking to me, because that would be utterly amazing.”

She grinned at him, though his words made her grin widen. He had the bull by the horns with that! Why couldn’t everyone have that mindset. “And I’ve tried to tell him that! But he just tells me that I’m weak and should shut up. Not that I can really blame him…he just.” Sapphirine shrugged. “He’s kind of a jerk most of the time but, he’s been good to me. Mostly.”

She grinned again at his words and laughed. “Good to know! I’m glad you can handle my rudeness. That will make things between you and me much easier, I think. And my Superior? His name is Haumea. He’s a corrupt senshi like I am. Bright pink hair…very…island-y costume? I mean, even if you know him, or knew him you wouldn’t recognize him now. He got a bunch of tattoos on his face and looks…”

The corrupt rolled her eyes. “He looks kind of dumb, but also…really kind of attractive. I don’t know. He’s trying too hard to be edgy, I think.”

She rolled her eyes again. “It’s almost to the point where it’s embarrassing to be seen with him in public, you know but…Hey. A girl has to go out with someone, am I right?

Of course she was.

He stifled a laugh into his hand. “Trying too hard to be edgy, I could say that about a few people I’ve known in my time.” He chuckled.

“I take it then that you’re assigned to him?” He tipped his head. “I’ll be sure to look him up. I’m curious now. You’ll grow stronger though, that is the nature of experience.” He shrugged.

“Whatever else you gain out of it though, that is purely individual. You can have very strong people whom are not good leaders, and you can have people whom are weaker than you, but have those qualifications… I’m rambling. Sorry.” He waved a hand as though to brush away the thought.

“... When you say, go out with someone, you’re dating then? That must be a little, awkward, him being your mentor and your ah… partner?” He arched his eyebrows somewhat suggestive.

Sapphirine beamed at his reaction and shrugged. “You’ll understand when you see it. I promise. And you’ll be like, wow. Sapphirine was so right about him!” She laughed as well, pleased that she seemed to be getting along quite well with this Zinkenite. If he was powerful…well. That just worked out well for her then, didn’t it?

She could use powerful friends. It would help her in the long run.

Quietly, she listened to his thoughts on strength and leaders and for a moment, she found herself nodding. He was right. About a lot of things, and honestly? Sometimes Hau didn’t seem like he was a good leader at all. Sure she had sassed him but their first meeting he had broken her fingers without a second thought…any sane person would have left everything right then and there but…obviously she wasn’t sane.

“Sort of dating. We hook up every now and then but. I prefer to pretend that he cares more about me than I think he does. He has a constant boner for Lady Metallia, honestly. I swear if he could just…be with her I think he would be utterly blissful. Sometimes he kind of creeps me out but. What can you do?”

She flashed a grin but looked almost a little unhappy. “Sometimes I think he takes it too far. Like…people in a cult honestly. He gets a little scary when he talks about her, you know?” Why would he know. Perhaps he was the same way. Perhaps he would scold her for not having quite that same drive yet.

But she was trying…

He gave a thoughtful nod, a distracted look about the level of devotion this corrupted seemed to show.
“Yes, we are all to be devoted, but, I think there are none whom will ever love her, or devote quite so well to her as someone I think you may never meet.” He murmured.

“Did you ever hear, of Tanzanite?” He tipped his head. “I feel like some whom have known about her, try very hard to fill her shoes, they can’t mind you. She was something, unique.”

“I think the more you see, the more...devoted you become. After all, she… they saved me once at least. But, I think people are just as capable of letting their own ego get in the way, making choices assuming that every word they speak is her will, and it’s not. But I can hardly bore you with the details of my last promotion, that would be very tedious indeed.”

He sighed, and pulled down the mask that covered so much of his face to offer a smile.

“I’ve no idea where the person I was last with is. I’ll have to look them up I suppose.”
