Godfrey tilted his head back and forth, rattling the idea of not being in the city around in his head. “Quiet usually freaks me out, but we could probably do it if I’m fucked up enough.” Pulling out his phone, he carelessly tossed it over to his new companion. “Put your number in there, I’ll hit you up. Not enough good friends in the city and you seem pretty fuckin’ respectable. A little funny too. Just you and the mic and lookin’ into your whole ass self ‘cause your doppleganger’s right the fuck there too,” Godfrey snorted. “He’s into that whole thing too? You guys like…Twin-twins?”

Adrian caught the phone, glad he only fumbled for a second to prevent it from falling directly into a gutter. There wasn’t a lock on it, and Adrian couldn’t tell if that surprised him or not. He keyed his number in as Twitch spoke, letting out an amused huff. “Yep, identical down to the freckle. I was born first, though, and am the only reason we don’t look a hundred percent identical all the time.” If it was up to Darcy they’d probably always be matching, but Adrian liked to do his own thing and they rarely got into fights about it. Adrian handed the phone back, finishing his cig before flicking it away into the gutter. “Where you headed tonight?”

boroughofeden task 001: superpowers

the basics:

when he focuses his attention or experiences strong emotion, adrian can create and manipulate sound waves. so far he has discovered that he can make things louder, quieter, mute them entirely, create new sounds, and at this point in time, shatter glass or vinyl with concentrated effort or an outporing of negative emotion.

limitations:

the sounds adrian can control don’t travel very far-- in new york city especially they tend to get swallowed up and don’t spread further than the average noise at the same volume. additionally, his ability to create new sound is limited to his imagination. some things, especially songs played from memory, rely on his knowledge of the nuance of sound. he’d be hard-pressed to mimic an unfamiliar voice since he doesn’t know how the person sounds.

skill level:

because sound manipulation is easy to experience the effects of, but relatively non-harmful, adrian’s power is pretty well harnessed. he was one of the first in his block and his family to discover he had an unusual ability, and put a lot of effort into understanding and controlling his ability even before he experienced what frustration could do. that being said, adrian has only had one real outburst where he couldn’t rein in his ability in time to prevent damage.

Godfrey wasn’t sure if that was the name, but probably. The guy seemed to really know what he was talking about all the time. “That’s not embarrassing. I won. Probably.” His smoke officially done, Godfrey dropped it, stepping it out. “Oh, so you’re a shrooms guy. That sounds lit. We should do shrooms sometimes. Probably get some lean too just cause. And shit yeah, I’m down for that. Gotta go with someone who reminds me people need sunscreen, but definitely. You like goin’ to festivals and junk? How’d you get into the music biz anyways? You’ve got a movie face.”

“Gonna have to pass on the codeine, but yeah, we gotta leave the city though, too much noise always makes me tweak out,” Adrian agreed, because he doubted that they’d be doing shrooms together-- or maybe they would, who knows. Life was funny like that sometimes. As long as nobody was throwing xans or fentanyl around, Adrian could hang. “I just like music,” he answered, shoulders lifting. “And it’s nice not having people like, look at me while I work. Just me and the mic, y’know?”

“Oh shit, yeah,” Godfrey raised his smoke a little, gesturing towards himself. “Twitch. All you gotta do is ask for me and they’ll know. And nah, I’m pretty popular, which always surprises management I think, but as long as I’m not doin’ anything that’d get me sent back to jail at the hotel, I’m good.” At the question, Godfrey squinted. “I’m gonna be honest, half my memories about anything are kinda fuzzy. I know I had some beef with security and uh, that ‘Baby’ singer. Canadian? I think people said he looked like Ellen, but that’s as far as I got. Who’s Mac, but more importantly, how fucked were you, man? Ha. At least I can say I’ve never puked on anyone. That’s embarrassing.”

A lot was cleared up in that response. Adrian nodded some, taking a drag before he coughed it right back up. “You fought with Justin Beiber at Coachella? How is that not more embarrassing than puking, atleast Mac Demarco is a rapper and not a popstar. See, I know rappers. I get too high on shrooms with ‘em and now they send me birthday cards.” He realized he was perfectly chatty now, and figured he liked Twitch okay. “I bet you could still fuck it up at Burning Man, though.”

Godfrey tapped his cigarette again, it was drawing to a near end. He always thought he smoked too fast. Shame. “Yea, alright, that’s fair. This girl I see sometimes, uh Liz, got us into this crazy fucking party. I’d tell you about it, but I can’t even remember half of it. I don’t party enough here. Been a real minute. S’alright. I cook. Cooking’s fun.” Looking behind him, he gesture to the hotel. “You ever try the restaurant in there? I’ll cook for you sometime. Come through.” It took a second to auditorily process what the guy said and backtracking to it, Godfrey laughed. “Is that right? You do that? I went there once and got kicked out. Whew.” He wagged a finger his way. “Don’t let me back in there.”

Everything this guy said was a little like watching a pingpong game being played by one person, but Adrian focused on listening and smoking, still only smoked around halfway done. He perked up at the mention of food, glancing behind him at the hotel. “Yeah? What’s your name, man? I’ll ask for you specifically, if you think you can handle the star power.” Considering Adrian was the least picky eater in his entire family, possibly the world, he knew it’d be easy. The Coachella thing surprised him, though. He let out a chuckle, brows raising. “What’d you even do? I once puked on Mac Demarco and nobody even really cared.”

“Yeah!” Godfrey snapped once the other got it all to click in his head. In the same move, a jolt of electricity shot out his hand to the metal pole nearby. “Oh word, my bad. Gets a little jumpy when I do,” Godfrey laughed it off. “But I know that song. The remixes were lit. But yeah, I think you were right. I’m probably not an indie guy. Harder stuff…Harder stuff is good. You know any rappers? I bet those music parties are fucking great.”

Adrian watched the electricity jump from from his smoking buddy to the nearest pole, and took that at face value. Eden had made him and Cleo weird, so he figured it worked for other people, too, but the zip of lightning was possibly too new. He took a surreptitious step back before responding. “I don’t know many, and not well, but yeah you see some at the parties. Which are pretty great,” the admission relaxed him, brought it back from the electricity this guy was conducting. This guy knew what partying was about. “It’s too bad I’m not covering Coachella this year but my brother and I drew the short straw so we’re sitting it out.”

Godfrey racked his mind for anything considered indie music. He really could not come up with anything. “I don’t know. I’m not really sure what it is. You know that song from that alien movie with the talking tree man? I don’t remember what it’s called. Thing’s always saying he’s Groot. I think there’s a banjo in it.” Godfrey cut himself off to mouth the banjo he was remembering. “I dunno. Is that indie?”

Adrian’s brow furrowed. He’d never heard a banjo in a marvel movie, but supposed he could be wrong about that, either way, this guy was just giving him a stream of consciousness for him to pick apart. “Banjos is right for the genre, but I don’t think Guardians of the Galaxy has indie in it, seeing how that’s mostly like, sixties and seventies music. Y’know that song Pumped Up Kicks? That’s an indie sorta sound.”

“Ooooohhhhh,” Godfrey released a long breath of it as it clicked together. “Aw, don’t get yourself down. You guys are both pretty handsome. You guys look the same anyways if your brother’s the other guy.” Tapping ash off just the same, he held in the smoke a second before answering. “Oof, nah. Whatcha guys play? Should I?”

They were identical, but it was nice to be reassured. He grinned as his companion voiced the exact question that’d been running through Adrian’s mind a second before. “Maybe not. You into indie music at all? You seem more, uh, tough than that.” He gestured to the tattoo on his companions face. “Maybe you’re more a top 40′s pop hits guy, though, I don’t know what you like.”

The guy turned and the previous question was lost on Godfrey because they guy’s face was so familiar. He idly put his pack back and neared the new guy, closing the gap and sizing him up. “Hey, yeah, I know you. You’re the guy on the billboards. One of ‘em, both of ‘em?” Godfrey didn’t know, he never really stopped to read it. He laughed and blew out smoke. “So you like a celebrity or something?”

“DJ,” Adrian answered, since he was atleast somewhat familiar with being recognized. Usually his face was pretty obscured from public knowledge, but billboards really were going to be his end. He flicked ash away from them both before continuing. “And I’m not even the handsome one. That’d be my brother, Darcy. You listen to WQHT?” Somehow he doubted that light indie music was really this guy’s cup of tea, but he could be wrong.

Amped up just by idea that he was finally off his eight-hour shift and had the whole Friday night for whatever the hell he wanted, Godfrey needed a quick smoke. And company, he thought as he put the cigarette between his lips. “Hey! You wanna smoke?” Already he was lighting it with the tiny flicker of electricity between his fingers and pulling his pack back out for them.

Adrian turned at the question, a little abashed because he was, in fact, already smoking. The dude who asked it was something else, too, all face tattoos and slightly wild eyes. But this was New York and Adrian had seen worse. “Already there, thanks, man,” he answered gesturing with the cigarette between his fingers. He did sidle over on the street, leaving room for the newcomer to join him in smoking there, if he wanted to.

story —

Adrian has always strived to be the perfect child. The oldest of three and an identical twin, he stepped up when his mother died to become a second parent to his brother and sister. It wasn’t until he went to college that Adrian began doing things for himself– signing up to be a dj at the local radio station opened up a world he’d never experienced before. Adrian threw himself into his work and eventually graduated into an internship and eventually his own late night show in New York City. When his power first arrived, he assumed it was a migraine until he shattered half the vinyl records in his collection. It’s challenging for Adrian, but the ability to influence sounds around him has gotten easier to control when he keeps his attitude in check and stays focused on his first love: music.
