The music of the 20th century, while songs endured time's gaze, struggled to transcend like the music of the previous centuries. Notes written by master craftsman for instruments whose simplistic beauty stood the test of time. In the academy's music room, Sean had sat himself at the piano and began to play. Knowing every stroke of the keys by heart, his fingers dance about in his trance. He continues to play on, completely oblivious to his surroundings as he plays.

So you like... do all kinds of artistic stuff. Don't you?" Eric asked from the doorway, leaning against the frame. He'd waited for the song to end before speaking up, afraid of spoiling the moment or causing Sean to mess up.

"More or less. It comes with majoring in Art History, but I started piano as a way to focus and control my powers." He slides his hand across the ivories for a glissando. "You play any instruments?"

"Playing an instrument takes a lot of practice, focus, and dexterity. I used it to train my ability to focus using my hands, and by proxy my hands themselves. Then my hands became the conduit my mind used to control my abilities."

Object manifestation? I don't really know what'd you would call it." He reaches forward as the air in front of him seems to rip and tear. He'd reach his hand inside of the rip and pull out an apple.

"I guess I think about what I want, and then I just take it." So in depth.

Things not being quite right." He took a step forward. "Like last week, there is this bank robbery going on right? Well Emery was bugging me cause he wanted me to get us all guns so we could stop the bad guys. So I oblige and pull out some guns. Freaking cap guns!!!" Though truth be told he was kind of glad no one got killed. On either side of the conflict.

Were you okay with giving a bunch of untrained agents weaponry?" Sean is definitely worried about the judgement in this case.

Sean is relieved to here that. "When I first learned of my power, a bully in my class was picking on me. It was art and we were making jars of colored sand. I wanted to run away and hide or someone to come save me. I thought of the Lion King." He chuckles darkly, glad to have learned from the incident. "Soon a lion of sand was terrorizing my class while I hide under the table. Moral is that your subconscious has a very real affect on your power."

It made sense. It really did. But that could have also gotten someone killed.

Even though Sean agrees with not giving them guns, giving them fake guns was dangerous. "Shields or tazers might have worked better."
