Getting the Rhythm

Subject: Getting the Rhythm Fri Mar 11, 2016 4:14 am

Beats has made a new friend named Leon after he had a minor fight with a man named Drake. He continued to wondered the forest after his meeting with Leon, but was still heart broken by Veronica's words of not excepting his feelings. He found a nice spot in the forest where he won't be bothered and can play his music as loud as he wants without people telling him that it's causing problems, He sat next to a giant green moss covered tree and sat up against it to relax after all that has happened hours ago. "This a nice spot to chill out, I think I can get my mind off of Veronica now." Beats grabs his headphones that were resting around his neck and chooses the music mix that was best suited for relaxing.

Lysandra exited the bunker, telling her mother that she'd be taking a walk. "Well, now I have to think of what to say to the people who raised me...I wonder if they're okay. It's been a few months since I last contacted them." She sighed, starting to walk away from the bunker. She made a note to herself not to forget where it was, since it was well hidden.

Beats was thinking to himself if he was terrible guy that no woman would bother becoming his girlfriend. He didn't know to approach woman all that well, He even ended up being slapped by Astraria for taking her robe off to see if he was right about her being an angel when they first met. He was still listening to his music mixes all the while looking toward the tree line in front him. "Man, do woman hate guys like me or is it just my personality?"

Lysandra whistled a tune as she walked, enjoying the morning air. "Well, at least she wasn't lying...I mean, she has the same powers and everything." She looked at her hand, playing electricity across it. "Why now of all times for this power to come to light?" Her childhood was as normal as any other girl's was.

Beats decided he was done relaxing and it was time to go back to the camp although he still had mix feelings about going back there where his first crush rejected him and dumped him before she gave him the chance, right he was still feeling crappy about it all, being a special and all he would think having powers was cool but it was just a burden to him. "I guess I should head back to camp and just stay there until I can figure out what to do with the rest of my life." He sighs. "Man, this sucks." He gets up from the spot he had sat near the tree and proceeds to head back to camp, but after walking a couple of steps he realized he had a problem. "Umm, how the hell do I get back to camp?"

Lysandra spotted a man wearing a pair of headphones. She stopped where she was, wondering what he was doing out here by himself. Was he from the camp? "Can I help you?" She approached him. If she could help, all the better. She'd been helped by a few people recently, so she may as well pay them forward.

Beats didn't notice the woman until he turned around asking him if he needed help, but he did need. Beats had no clue where the camp was and no idea how to get there and every direction he looked before meeting the mystery woman looked all the same to him. "Actually, yeah I can use some help, got lost wandering through the forest to find a place to relax. He figured all she was doing is to help out any campers that needed it and Beats needed it badly.

She blinked. "So...you're not from the refugee camp?" She looked him over, not recognizing him. "An odd time to be hiking in the forest." Like she was one to talk.

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Fri Mar 11, 2016 5:18 am

"No, I am from the camp, but I wanted to find a place that was quiet and so nobody bugs me when I turn up my music." The last thing Beats needed was to get in a fight with another woman, and seeing how his relationship with Veronica sunk, he didn't want mess up with this girl. "Oh, my name is Beats and I like awesome loud music."

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Fri Mar 11, 2016 5:22 am

"I'm...Lysandra. Music isn't my thing, so I can't relate to you there. Do you need directions back to camp? Or I could possibly escort you back, I'm heading in that general direction." She kept her distance, in case he decided to try something.

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Fri Mar 11, 2016 5:32 am

"What~! How can music not be your thing. You talking crazy girl, music is the best thing in the world." He was shocked to hear someone say that music wasn't there thing and was going to try explain why you should have music in your life. "You know a little music in your life can make it better."

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Fri Mar 11, 2016 5:37 am

"I doubt that." She sighed. "Do you want me to take you to camp or what...Beats?" To have a name like that...maybe he just called himself that because he liked music so much.

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Fri Mar 11, 2016 5:48 am

"Yes, can you please lead me back to camp, I don't want to get lost again and wander through this forest all day." He decided to quit on persuading her about the good of music and just have her escort him back to camp. "Man, I'm having a bad day, I don't know if I want to go back to that camp, it really sucks there." He sighs.

"Refugee camps are rarely fun. Maybe you should start seeking out a village to go live in? There are quite a few, to the south of here." She motioned for him to follow her. "Follow me, we're going to the camp now."

Beats proceeded to follow Lysandra back to camp to camp, but was still having second thoughts about going back their after his crush rejected him. "Hey Lysandra why are you out here in forest by your self, did somebody send out a search party for me or something?" He was curious why a beautiful girl like her was roaming the forest.

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 12:46 am

"I just thought I would take a morning walk. No one sent out any search party." They approached the edge of the forest, the camp's edge coming into view. "Why, do you have someone in the camp who would miss you?"

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 12:57 am

Beats felt like crap now after hearing Lysandra say nobody was looking for him and he burst into crocodile tears. "Does anybody care that exist, man this sucks." He looked like an injured puppy dog that was abandon. "Aahh, what a cruel world!" He leans to a nearby tree and then proceeds to hug it. "I should just crawl somewhere and die~!" Beats finally snapped, even though he made a friend, it wasn't enough to fill his heart, realizing he was still going to be alone.

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 1:06 am

She backed away a little at his outburst. "L-look! I honestly don't know if any search party! I-I didn't come from the camp." She looked at Beats. "Look...I'm sure whoever you have back at camp likes you, Beats..." She was trying to calm him down, not wanting a mess to clean up if he took his own life over this.

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 1:18 am

"W-what are y-you talking about, the person I had a crush on rejected me~!" Lysandra was trying to calm him down, but it wasn't working. "My crush said she rather die than be with a guy like me~! I didn't mean to attack her, I was just repaying a debt to guy that was about to be gunned down by her, now I regret it. Man, my life sucks, My parents are gone, I'm jobless and I'm all alone, there's nothing waiting for me back at camp!" Beats continued to yell out his problems without him noticing that he was doing it.

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 1:25 am

"R-relax! I-I'm sure you'll find someone...e-even I am alone..." Well, she had parents...and her mother back in the bunker, but she needed to calm this guy down. "...so just please...calm down."

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 2:20 am

"Don't you get it, there's nothing for me in this world." The tears from Beats came to a stop, He stand back and he let go of the tree he was hugging. "I don't know what to do, I was going to try and apologize to Veronica, but I highly doubt she's the kind of person to except my apology after I told her about my ability to use sound." He looks in Lysandra's direction. "It's just sucks to be alone and nobody would care if I disappeared."

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 2:23 am

"V-veronica?" She looked at him. "Wait...you have a crush on Veronica?" She sighed. This was just what she needed, more complications in the family relations. "I'm perfectly sure she'd understand if you apologized."

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 2:39 am

"How do you know Veronica?" It took a second for Beats to realize that Lysandra was the military friend Veronica was talking about going to the north with."Your her military friend she told me about!" Beats was shocked, and was a little happy at the same time. "You can help me get Veronica to trust me."

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 2:42 am

"M-military...you could say that..." She looked away as she spoke. Technically she was Arakai Patrol, not military. "...and I haven't seen her in a while myself. I don't know how much help I would be, in all honesty."

Subject: Re: Getting the Rhythm Sat Mar 12, 2016 2:46 am

"Oh, I see, well it was worth a shot. I guess we should head back to camp it going to get dark soon, I don't want to be some animal's dinner if you know what I mean." Beats thought might have had a chance to get back with Veronica, if Lysandra was able to help him sort out the mess he had with her, but it looks like lady luck wasn't on his side.
