Don't Mess Up (Mari)

Erik...was sober. Which considering everything that had happened wasn't really a bad thing, but it wasn't good either. Another letter returned to sender, another confirmation that his parents thought he was a monster. If only they lived on the island with him, they would see that he wasn't even the tip of the iceberg. There were others that were so much worse than him, so much scary and much more powerful. Hell he ran into a chick with wi-, he paused mid thought as the grid he was following mess up and the signals he was so used to reading sounded like nails on a chalkboard.

He followed the waves, wincing as he tried to restore the balance of the signals and then he realized why everything was going haywire. He stopped when he almost walked into the girl with an old phone in her hand. "...I should probably have more of an introduction here, but whatever you were trying to do isn't going to work because that phone's not really giving out any signals...it's off the grid." He said looking at the phone. He could already tell it was one of those disposable do business without being traced blackmarket phones. They always found a way to jam the freaking signal and he had to work twice as hard to hack at.

"..Uhm I'm Erik?" He asked staring at her, not angry though she did give him a headache, it was more concern. If he got a headache from the screeching signals...what had happened to her? Normally he was a cold person, but someone potentially going through the same things as him..was king of a soft spot for him.

Erik nodded "Well i don't know what you were trying to do but you managed to scrambled the builds radio waves and electrical pulse" He was postive that she wasnt trying to do that, about sixty precent sure. That want alot but it was still more than half. He noticed the accent and the school uniform and the features and heforced himself to worry about her scambling the schools grid. He had managed to put it back it the way it was but he was worried about her doing it again.

"Nice to meet you Mizuko, and no I'm fine. Im actually used to the headaches its why I carry these." He explained holding up a bottle if fast acting painkillers and the handing them to her. He had more in his dresser drawer and she needed them more than him.

"Perhaps if you tell me what you were trying to do and what you can actualy do I can give you pointers?" He asked, mostly out of the want to not have splitting headaches every time she used her power. It didn't even matter where he was in the school, he'd still get the headaches.

Erik smiled kindly, which was kind of out of character for him when he was sober. Still he couldn't help but feel for the girl a bit. She hadn't meant to basically mentally attack him, no matter how much it actually felt like that. "Don't worry, it's normally for people to make mistakes when they're first learning how to do something." He tried to reassure her but he wasn't sure it would work. Admittedly outside of charming girls into doing what he wanted sex wise he was a bit at lost as to what to say to actually cheer her up. It was kind, of weird to be nice to girl and not want something in return. It was like he was actually a normal person...if the stupid grid wasn't there or the pulses but no they were always there unless he was faded.

He handed her the can of sprite he had gotten from the soda machine down the hall. He hadn't opened it yet because he was on his way to buy himself lunch. Dry-swallowing pills was horrible and he wanted to see where the whole nice train was going for him. "Well it sounds like you just scrambled the waves and then...were you in a panic? That's probably why, most of the time when hacking using technopathy or transducing..which is what I am a transducer and a technopath. If I Panic it scrambles the phone signals and manipulates it to erase all the data, and its near impossible to get it back." He studied her and then tilted his head.

"Then again, it was mostly the radio waves and signals that were off and giving me the headache so maybe you can just scramble waves...with focus so mental?" He was mostly talking to himself not really her but she was free to chime in and then he came to a solution after a few minutes of trying to guess what she could do and in what limitations.

"I could always show you how to use your power if we're both right about how it works"

Erik nodded and took out his phone and saved all his data to his sd card before taking it out and handing it to her. "This phone is on the grid, it's also a brand new smart phone so it should work" He said waiting for her to take the phone.

"Dont worry about paying me back, if we manage to get you some sort of control it'll help me in the long run" He said smiling at her. He was really wondering why he hadnt thought of something dirty to say but he was just...not thinking that way in that moment. Which was weird for him becauses he always thinking that way.
"Dont try and focus it in one spot in particular persay, imagine it as a wave, and that wave washing over the phone... its hard to focus eavesand signals in one spot because they don't move in a straight inline...ever.." He said rubbing his forehead head. His headache was still there but fading albeit slowly.

He smiled at her and took the pills "Pretty and kind, thats an amazing combination" he said after he took a drink and handed both items back to her. "You'll need them..."

@"Trahnael"

Erik sighed and ran a hand through his hair "Honestly, you can use the phone, I have bunch more. Besides if you destroy i backed up my files and part of my power is fixing technology so it's really not a loss" It wasn't often that he was actually nice enough to offer help so it shocked him when it was accepted. He wasn't sure if it was because she didn't want it or she just too proud to accept his help. Either way it would be too cruel to just turn away since it wasn't going his way. There for he was going to just go along with it, and see where being nice was going to lead him.

"Sure if that's what you're most comfortable with" He said gesturing for her to lead the way. It was the first time he had even gotten invited to a girls dorm, and it not be for sex related things. He wasn't even sure how he was supposed to feel about that.
