Not quite prepared for the sudden burst of movement, you unconsciously reacted to the change in position from far to near by quickly aiming your cybernetic arm at the other person and shooting whatever you had loaded inside. Fortunately, you have both no weapon equipped and are drunk, resulting in you simply flailing your arm around a little before whacking yourself in the head. "Fuuuck." You groan, letting the arm flop back down. "Don't surprise me like that, bro. I'm a little fidgety" You state, a mixture of apology and accusation colouring your tone of voice, rubbing your now bruised forehead with your other arm.
Flashstepping. You'd seen it a few times and tried it yourself, but you'd never quite worked out the finer details to it. You could vaguely manage moving a bit quicker than usual in a straight line, but that was about it. "In... in answer to your question, it's a bit dull. I mean, music is still freaking awesome, but it just doesn't quite compare to listening to it when using Sound unless you're Sight, then it's alright." You murmur, rolling your head back up to look at him. Maybe you could ask him for lessons sometime, bait him with sharing your senses for a bit. You're sure there was an ability for that somewhere outside of the beserk trigger.

"Sorry about that." he says practically on instinct because AC autoslammed a sorry button somewhere.
He quickly checks his wallet and offers a spritegunk carrot as an apology. Yay for biophosphoradelecrystalluminescence.

Waving him off, you take the offered carrot. "No big deal, just... probably wouldn't go well if I had something loaded." You reply in an amused tone, munching down on the vaguely sweet-tasting carrot of light. "Just teach me how to do that sometime and we can be considered even." Giving a slight grin over to him, you flick the last piece in the air before catching it in your mouth, testing your reflexes to see if your head's cleared at all yet. "I'll even toss in a right to question me about Sound when you want as an incentive."

"It's actually a bit easier to start learning when you're not all there in the head." you say reassuringly. That said, you've never been drunk on anything but being mindfucked by space squid with executive access to your body, mind, and soul. "That way when your head clears it becomes easy, and it's not too hard to pull off in battle when you can't really focus. When do you wanna start?"

Giving a slight shaking of the head, you lie back again. "Aah. Not for a while, need to recover for a bit after that. Also need to take care of some ongoing experiments, but maybe once we've done a session meeting and... well, meet up there again with everyone else." You say, finally pushing yourself to your feet. There's a few unsteady steps as you regain your bearings before you manage to make it back over to the sofa, sitting down in a more comfortable position. "Anyways, anything more you want to ask?" You question Kevin.

Invading Sam's personal space with the regular movement of scooting over for the hell of it, you momentarily muse (smith?) and come up with something.
"What's the Orchestra usually like as a personality?" you ask. "Does it vary a lot between sessions with colors and mayhems, or are they mostly the same between masks?"

The presence of someone so near to you makes you slightly uncomfortable, and you fidget for a moment before responding. "I mean... it's not that different to other whisperings, it changes a bit but the underlying theme is the same. It gets more similar the more you replay Sound, too. There's always a few of the voices that stay the same while the others switch out occasionally."
You're not sure whether to bunch up or to continue the vague flirty lines to try and get him to move a bit away. Or closer. Either's fine. Just not in-between, that's awkward.
...
You decide to not get drunk around other people again.

Kevin, being raised with very little regard for personal space and with no vested interest against making things less uncomfortable and quite possibly getting paid to make it more so, leaned in, with the effect of ending up leaning on Sam.
"Hmmmmm. Does the sound with using abilities sound pretty good when you're listening in through Sound sense, or is it just like loud single notes?"
You giggle slightly at saying sound repeatedly. Gee, having your sense of humor artificially heightened isn't biting your plans at aaaallllllll.

Suddenly, there's a giggling person leaning on your shoulder.
The simple fact of this makes you unable to speak for a few moments, mouth twitching slightly, before you let out a sigh, a very slight magenta blush on your cheeks. "Depends. It's just a blast of sound, you decide what it... well, sounds like. So usually it does for me; less so for anyone else listening. You murmur, distinctly uncomfortably.

whoa slow down I want this to be cool pls no stahp but keep going gentle now shhh slow don't make it awkward geez the thoughts flow in on roughly that idea.
You back off slightly on the impetus of a few 'terrors who use player shipping as their vector of making sense of it all and deriving entertainment, resulting in putting you back in sitting next to him.
"So what do you usually make it sound like?"

Giving an internal sigh of relief at the movement away from you, you move your hands slowly behind your head, leaning back. You weren't especially opposed to it, just... one or the other. You were kinda crappy at all the tender moment stuff. Or romance in general.
"Usually like a song I've got in my head at the time, made into a smell or taste or something then re-made into a sound. The distortion makes it sound like crap to anyone else but to a Sound player it's basically the same, so I just jam out." You reply lightheartedly.

"Aww yis." you reply casually. The internal awkwardness/hilarity is brewing, but the dance in your mind drags it towards the latter. Cheap mirth is often the silliest. "So, you got Psychocommunication yet? And can you freestyle a response back trick so I can show you the crowd without risk? Or share senses rather than just thoughts for the full package?"

You open your mouth to say yes, but grimace slightly as the memories of a current, somewhat... shady experiment that you have going on right now. "Ah, I would, and maybe later, but I'm monitoring my own corruption levels right now for some data gathering." You murmur, sounding slightly down-put.
It would certainly be an interesting experience, and one that you'll likely participate in later on in the session, but finding the baseline values for corruption influence on you would be very important with what you had in mind to test, and you couldn't risk making the results inaccurate or, well, explosions of white or black would likely occur.

"Oh?" you say. And the crowd in your head shares the opinion. "Do you wanna tell...me about it?"

Focusing for a moment to keep the relaxed look planted on your face, you glance over towards the other man, giving a slight grin. "Well, now that would be telling, wouldn't it?" You murmur in a slightly amused voice, before looking up at the ceiling. "All I'll say is that it vaguely involves beings like your friends and a little bit of data... balancing, we'll say." You state, cryptically, although nothing too riddle-y. You had enough of the wordplay bullshit after playing Witch of Fate.
