02 - All that noise, and all that sound [video: filtered to J, Starr, Foxx, Morrison]

[mutedbackbeat]

[The hell happened to the Music? It sounds off, warped, distorted, and Derrick's not feeling too well because of it. It would be just his luck his music empathy went weird after everything that's gone on

[Over Derrick's shoulder - yeah, guess whose webcam Derrick is borrowing - not looking too pleased]

Yeah, I'm hearin' it. Sounds like the Twilight Zone or somethin'.

[Wait more music empaths what.../nice/]

Guess there's more t' our little band now, huh?

Permavideo/action for J

[mutedbackbeat]

[Derrick looks over his shoulder. He missed hearing J's beat approach. Damn weirdness in the music.]

Sorry, should've asked first.

[But he didn't really want to wait and didn't feel well enough to type. The Music warping is messing up the musical energy this particular music empath depends on to augment his own.]

... Uh, yeah.

Yes that 8D

[musicalmesmer]

Hey, no worries.

[He's upset about the change in the Music. Borrowing his webcam? Sure, not a problem]

Got any idea what's goin' on?

[mutedbackbeat]

[shakes his head... okay that made his head hurt...]

None. Not like Winter Break though.

[Which was when Derrick was the only music emapth at the school and everything seemed to go to hell with kidnapping, zombies, and Darkness all at once. So, that is good?]

I hear it. [pauses to listen and shudders] It creeps me out...like that feeling you get just before the monster jumps out at you in a bad horror film.

[surprised] Wait...Foxx? [beaming] Wow, that's awesome. [brushes hair out of her face] Not exactly the best circumstances to figure this out under though, huh?

Ugh, I don't think I can take this tension much longer. I wonder if the other empaths can feel it. The uh...non-music based ones.

You know Foxx? We're in the same mentor group.

[thinking]

Uh, know Angela, art teacher, is an empath, but don't know any others to ask.

Re: Permavideo

[attunedtotunes]

Yeah. We went dress shopping for the dance a few days ago.

Come to think of it...I'm not sure of any others either.

[mutedbackbeat]

Oh. [Foxx is going to the dance? She didn't strike him as the type.] Guess that will make this easier.

[Because he knows he's risking a lot by outing a few who probably were keeping it quiet.]

... Maybe someone will make a post like this but more general.

[rockedrhythm]

Oh good, I wasn't the only one enjoying this little jam session. Don't be so quick to bash it, kid, it's gotta be a genre someone enjoys. Maybe one of those fashion zombies, or monster truck enthusiasts, I dunno.

[Honestly, he doesn't look super thrilled that he's getting revealed to all these people.]

So this the whole club? Awesome. You said Foxx, huh?

[mutedbackbeat]

[It's four other people with the same ability, Morrison... Derrick does look nervous for doing this, also slightly drained like he created too many glowy things.]

... Not really. There's another, but... he had to leave...

[Derrick does not want to think about people leaving right now.]

And Foxx, we're in the same mentor group. Know her?

[rockedrhythm]

...Hm.

We crossed paths once before. Interesting how these things turn out, I guess.

So, we got any clue what's going on? I seen posts here'n there about people saying they got a nasty feeling, willing to bet it's related.

[mutedbackbeat]

[dizzy feeling, woozy feeling]

Not yet, but you're probably right. Should watch out for something.

[or maybe crawl into bed for awhile... no, he should be looking out for something that's causing this...]

Permavideo

[choreoandcode]

I do, and I don't know what's going on. Judging from the other posts on the network, though, I'd say we're not the only ones getting headaches.

[Wait other music empaths /what/]

...just how many of us are there?

Permavideo

[mutedbackbeat]

... Uh, six total. five here. One had to leave.

[So far that he knows of.]

Sorry, didn't know how to bring it up when we first met. You sounded overwhelmed... then never got to it. ... Sorry.

[choreoandcode]

[More than she thought. Huh. She shakes her head, getting back to business]

Don't worry about it. We have other things to think about.

Have you told Sheppard about this at all?

[mutedbackbeat]

No. Wanted to know if anyone else heard the same first before going to John...
