Xavier Mansion - Atrium
The Atrium is large room with four corridors leading off in diagonal directions to the classrooms and dorms. A large window looks over the front courtyard. The Atrium has also been turned into a social area for students and teachers, with chairs, tables and a television set. Since its a main area of passing, it is encouraged that people keep things to a respectful volume.
Right now Kenta doesn't have any classes to teach so he's taking his off time to spend in the atrium, lounging on one of the couches. He's wearing a plain black t-shirt, allowing the black dark force markings that cover his arms to be fully visible. His eyes are also all black with the energy. There's an accoustic guitar in his lap as he strums away, just kind of playing a soft melody that seems to go nowhere, but it's oddly pleasant to listen too.
John is utterly bored again, due to him not having any classes for the next hour and still being banned from New York. He walks into the Atrium from the school wing wearing dark blue jeans, red sneakers, a white Lostphrophets t-shirt, his dogtags, eyeliner, black nailvarnish and a red lightning bolt painted on his left cheek, he puts his school bag onto one of the tables and lays back on a couch. He hears Kenta's playing "the sounds good what is it?" he asks.
Kenta looks up and stops playing as he hears John's voice, shifting on the couch so he's in more of a proper sitting position. "Just something I wrote, or am writing. Still working on it." He looks at John's face for a bit before raising an eyebrow. "What's with the lighting bolt?"
John stretches "It sounds really good, you've got a solid talent" he shrugs "Just a whim i had"
"Thanks." Kenta says but then he has been playing the better part of twenty years. "I started playing when I was ten. Oh, I'm Kenta by the way." He says extending a hand that would feel a lot colder than normal. "I'm the music teacher here."
John sits up and shakes Kenta's hand "I'm John nice to meet you Mr Kenta, I have yet to have a lesson with you yet" feeling how cold Kenta's hand is "whoa you've got realy cold hands and thats saying something as i dont usually feel cold"
Kenta chuckles and nods. "I know, it's the darkforce. It runs through me like blood runs through a person." Kenta says, which might also explain all the black markings on his arms. "Cool, I teach a lot of music theroy and the instruments I'm good at teaching are piano, guitar and vocal skills. I don't really know much about any brass or woodwinds but I'm still learning a bit myself."
John nods "Oh darkforce, do you go fuzzy like Owen?" he makes a thoughtful noise "It might be cool to learn guitar"
Kenta shakes his head. "No, Owen and I might have control over the same energy but how it works with the two of us is completely different. I don't get hungry for life force like he does nor do I have a bat form, though I do have wings sometimes." Kenta says chuckling as he more wants to show off that fact. "Guitar is a great instrument."
John smiles "Wings huh, sounds cool, i'd love to be able to fly" he asks "well if you don't go fuzzy, can i guess that those arn't tattos and those aren't contacts?"
"Well what are you powers?" Kenta asks curiously. "I like being able to fly, I could even fly before I got the wings. It was an interesting day when I learned how to." Kenta says with a chuckle, but it was so many years ago. "And nope, this is dark force, you can see it all over me."
John shrugs "I'm pyrokinetic, pretty boring realy", "but dark force, that is amazing, you can fly, owen can teleport its amazing"
"Boring? There's nothing boring about it." Kenta says chuckling. "You can fly with fire, ever heard of the Human Torch?" He asks as he knows there is quite a bit that can be done with fire. "My ex-girlfriend, my son's mother, she could control fire and she was a force to be reckoned with."
John blinks in shock "Wait, did you just say i might be able to fly? how would i go about finding out if i can do that?" he sits back "You went out with a pyro? how olds your son?" he adds "I have a son too"
"One way kid, practive. Once you get down the basics of your powers, then you can try all sorts of others things. Let me ask you, how good are you at control right now?" Kenta asys raising an eyebrok. "Armande, he'd be about five or six. It's confusing. Really, you have a son? How old are you?"
John goes red "My control is … well limited" he shrugs "I'm 17, but he's only 10 months" he asks "Do you see alot of your son?"
"Yeah I do, he stays with my parents a lot because I have to work and his mother is out of the picture." Kenta says pushing a few strands of his hair back. Even though Kenta's in his thirty's looks to be in his young twenties. "10 months, wow. I was already around twenty five or twenty six when Daphne had Armande. I take it you don't since you're stuck at school here?"
John shrugs "The reason i came here if because of him, i came to learn how to control my powers cos i was putting him in danger" he scratches his head "You dont look 30" he says doing the math.
"It's the Asian Genes." Kenta says with a grin. "I've also had some crazy experiences with time and stuff. I'm ten years older than I should be." If he was phsyically the age he should be, he's still look like a teenager. "That's smart, we couldn't help but put Armande in danger but he came out okay."
