Flashback: The Disabled Duo beginnings
Of all the stupid...a boarding school for the weird kids is where he'd been sent. He had no illusions about it, none. Caused his parents enough trouble being deaf and lashing out about it. But when they found out about his little snapping power? They took the first opportunity they could to send him away with all the other little society misfits. At least now he wouldn't ever stand out as a mutant freak. Nope, now he was in his usual disabled kid schtick. Not much better really, you either got made fun of or pitied. Unless of course you lashed out a little, then they just stayed away, which was preferable.

Grumbling for the fiftieth time that day, Simon pulls his suitcase and bags along to the door of the place and knocks. He just wanted this all over with already.

	She laughed. "Don't worry, I've got other color tricks up my sleeve." Smirking, she rolled onto her back and enjoyed the rays. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well at least his mutation gave him a fighting chance against those, others wouldn't be so lucky. "You're just a regular rainbow of sound now aren't you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm guessing you've been offered money to use the other ones. Especially blue." He stretches out on the grass a bit then sits up to shoot her a devious grin, "So if we're the Disabled Duo, do I get free notes or at least a discount? If green is what I think it is that could be amusing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"People think making explosions isn't very subtle but...depending on the size it can go from causing mayhem to simply knocking things over or tripping people up. Great for distractions and getting back at people," he smirks. "So which of us would be ying and which is yang?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-29 08:07 am UTC (link)
	"Well, I think ying's the female, so... Maybe you should." She smirks, poking him in the side, then getting to her feet and bolting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh he is not taking that. Sitting up, he doesn't bother going after her, Simon just snaps. The first explosion is in front of her to make her abruptly try and stop and the next smaller ones are under her feet, aiming to trip her up and have her fall. Although given her gymnastics show, perhaps a bit more elegantly than most people would. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-29 08:12 am UTC (link)
	She pivots at the first explosion, yipping at the next ones and pushing off into a somersault roll, turning to face him and stick her tongue out. "Keep that up and you're gonna get one or two of the color scale directed your way, smartypants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A smirk, and then as she's pushing to her feet, she had a pulse of the blue note hitting him, grinning as she dusts herself off and blows him a kiss. "Just be lucky I went with that one and not another." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exploding_snaps 2012-02-29 08:18 am UTC (link)
	He might not be able to hear it but he's prepared for her retaliation and snaps a few times so the air between them is full of minor explosions, the soundwaves from them breaking up her pulse. Grinning back once the sound dies down he shouts at her, "Nice try Ying! Now I know what to expect from you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-29 08:20 am UTC (link)
	Oh, he thinks so, does he? Well, let's see how he likes this. She focuses on the area around him, enveloping him in a cocoon of muted space, then blowing another kiss, letting the note hit him from behind as she releases the mute zone, instead of the front. "What was that, Yang? Expect what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
