[If you happen to pass by a certain abandoned barn this evening, you can't help but hear the not so dulcet tones of both a violin and a guitar being played one after the other, again and again. The musician doesn't seem to be playing a particular song, just making a lot of noise

*pushing the barn door open*

Vanya?

[stops playing]

... um, hi.

[mind_over_metal]

Practicing? I hadn't known that you, ah, play the guitar as well.

Nana's giving me lessons.

[mind_over_metal]

How wonderful. And right now, with this, you were...?

*points back and forth between the two instruments, eyebrow raised in question about the rapid-fire switching that he'd been hearing*

Trying to see if one works better than the other.

*suddenly paying very careful attention to the thoughts that he's picking up from her*

"Works better"?

[if he's paying attention he'll probably know exactly what she's about to tell him right before she says it]

For my powers.

[mind_over_metal]

You certainly have learned something new.

My brother Klaus told me this weekend. I've always had them, but Hargreeves wanted me to think I didn't because he was afraid of me.

*coming farther into the barn and shutting the door behind himself*

What else did your brother tell you?

[00_07]

That I can control and manipulate sound waves when I play my violin. I, um, used them to destroy things, but I want to use my powers to do something good.

*nods*

And you'll be able to do that.

Now that you know about them, where is it that you currently stand with your powers? Are you still needing to find a way to access them?

[00_07]

... I don't really know anything about them. I can't get them to work at all.

[mind_over_metal]

How exciting it must be, to be able to make such a complete discovery. If you'll let me, I'll do what I can to help you.

You wouldn't mind helping? Really?
