[$] The Magic of Music (MDaylus)

[Alikia Tsuki]

[x] is a musician in a band on their way to stardom (your choice on roll in the band) and Alexsandr is a homeless runaway who is now of age. He however is deaf, but was not born that way. They meet in the most strange way when Alexsandr is running from those who have a dislike for him. He runs across the street just as [x] is driving down it with his band members. Alexsandr is hit but protests a trip to the hospital. Instead he is taken to the band's home, who at first have no clue he is deaf because he can read lips well. Slowly it comes out but there is more to Alexsandr than appears.



Name: Aleksandr
Age: 19
Occupation: Homeless
Bio: Aleksandr is a boy who at the age of 15 ran away from home never to return. Though he was brought up by a family who wasn't bad off he needed to escape his home life. And after weeks of living on his own he was taken in by a homeless vetran named George. George helped teach Aleksandr how to live the way he did and never seemed to have a problem with the fact that Aleksandr was deaf. Aleksandr lived with George in a homeless vetran's camp, but recently George has been arrested on some ridiculous charge and those within the camp who have no care for Aleksandr because they don't believe he belongs with them have been terrorizing the boy.

He knew mostly how he had ended up across the hood of a car then onto asphalt. He had run in front of the car’s path and been hit. It was hard to judge how fast the car was moving without being able to hear it and well that was an impossible feat for him. The things leading up to him running in front of the car were a bit fuzzier. He knew the group who had chased him didn’t like him but he didn’t think he had done anything in particular to antagonize them. Yet he had been chased when he had tried to avoid them. Still he had no idea why and now he was in considerable pain. At least the car had stopped and hadn’t run him over more. The vibration of the ground gave him a clue before those in the car reached him, two at least. Then there were unfamiliar hands touching him, not that any hand was really familiar anymore. He was sure they were talking to him but their words fell on his deaf ears. He knew he had to peel his eyes open to see what they were saying but the pain radiating through his body had him scrunching his eyes close. Still he knew he needed to say something to put them at ease. “I’m okay just give me a moment.” Aleksandr choked out. The hospital would be their first call if they were at least as decent people as they seemed stopping to check on him, but he needed to make sure they didn’t take him to the hospital. It didn’t feel like anything in his body was broken, maybe, perhaps something was cracked.

Name: Hector Corin
Age: 24
Occupation: Lead Guitarist/Music Writer
Bio: Hector was born to relatively normal family. The middle child of three, his childhood was fairly average, he never really excelled in school, but he wasn’t bad either. He did a few sports, but they weren’t his thing either. It wasn’t until he found his dad’s old guitar that his true talents were revealed. He picked up guitar fast and began memorizing songs and improving his technique as a teen. While he excelled in music, his siblings began to go their own directions. His older sister became a star athlete, while his younger brother excelled in music. That was until his parents got a divorce. The split came as a surprise to all of the kids and the shockwaves of the divorce made each of them cope in different ways. His sister pushed herself into sports until she injured herself severely, his brother became more and more obsessed with perfection until he became to abuse drugs, and Hector retreated into his music, beginning to write and learn other instruments and music theory until he barely spoke to his family. As soon as he was able he left for college, moving far away to study music. It was there that he met the others who eventually joined him in forming a band, Memories of Supernovas. They began playing small gigs around town while they were all attending school, but as soon as they graduated, they began seriously marketing themselves and have been steadily climbing up the festival ladder, with Hector writing most of the music to the lyrics others in the band offer him.

The van was noisy as always. With the five of them scattered around it in amongst all of their gear, riding the odd high of adrenaline and exhaustion from a good show, they always found ways to annoy and argue with one another. It was never serious, thankfully, but Hector wasn’t always a huge fan of the noise. There were times he’d love to have a nice, peaceful car ride for once. Just an easy, relaxing trip back home. But that didn’t seem to be in the cards for the night as Skylar lightly kicked the back of Dale’s seat, complaining about something, her boyfriend nodding in agreement beside her. Hector just chose to close his eyes and lean against the door, hoping he might be able to doze off in spite of everything else. He didn’t quite know if he’d actually fallen asleep as he was jerked to attention by the slamming of brakes and screams and curses from around the van. His eyes snapped open just in time to see a body slide off the hood onto the ground. “s**t….” He mumbled, fumbling with his seatbelt and the door until he tumbled out of the car, the others following behind him as he lurched around the van to get a look at who they’d hit. As he knelt beside the young man, he was grateful to see him still breathing. Carefully turning him over with Skylar’s help, he looked the stranger over for obvious injury or blood, but none was to be found. Another good thing he hoped. “Hey, hey man, you alright?” he asked quickly, checking the guy’s pulse, even though he saw him stirring. He really just needed something to do with his hands. “We need to get you to the hospital dude, you hit the hood pretty hard.” He added quickly, the others murmuring in agreement, already starting to move to do just that.

Name: Evelyn
Age: 26
Occupation: Drummer


Name: Warren
Age:30
Occupation: Singer/ Bass Guitarist


Aleksandr was a lithe young man with long strawberry blond hair, though it was more red than blond. Though it was quite dirty at the moment with how he was lacking a shower living outside in a tent. He washed when he could but it wasn't often. Still despite the dirt he wasn't bad to look at, especially when he finally got his light brown eyes open. He was glad he had though when he saw the man before him say something about getting him to a hospital. He couldn't go there, he had no idea what a hospital visit would entail but he had heard enough stories from the men in the camp he lived with about how doctors could be cruel and didn't like those that were homeless. He also knew that he had no money and if he ever wanted to make it in the world knew he couldn't rack up some debt with a hospital. Also there was no telling how long they would make him stay there and he didn't want to lose all his things at the camp. "No! No hospital, i'm alright please I promise I just need to get up." Aleksandr argued shifting to move before pain shot through him causing his breath to leave him.

Name: Skylar
Age: 25
Occupation: Keyboardist

Hector blinked in surprise at the protest he got from the other. He’d expected to be cursed at and screamed at about being hit, but the quick argument and attempt to leave was shocking. Still, he caught the shock of pain on the man’s face and just placed a firm hand on his shoulder, keeping him on the ground. “Stay still. You don’t know how injured you are. Moving could make it way, way worse.” He said firmly. Skylar just poked her head over his shoulder, frowning. “If he wants to go, let him Hector. Maybe we won’t have to report this to the insurance company.” She murmured, nudging Hector lightly. The guitarist just swatted her away, sending her a glare. “We hit him Skylar. Don’t be an a**.” He muttered before returning his attention to the man on the ground. “What’s your name dude? Where does it hurt?” he asked quickly, looking the guy over again, hoping to spot the injury so he could figure out how bad this was. Were they about to go to jail? The guy was alive and they’d stopped, so that meant they shouldn’t be in legal trouble right? No hit and runs or anything.

Aleksandr was surprised a bit as a hand at his should pushed him to lay still on the pavement. He locked his eyes onto the man as he said that he needed to stay still because they didn't know how injured he was and how moving could make it worse. He mildly agreed the pain was much worse when he tried to move but the problem was... "We're in the middle of the street, what if other cars come?" he questioned. He didn't see Skylar's words focus instead of the man in front of him. It was why he was a bit confused when the man told someone named Skylar not to be an asset. His eyes roamed the group around him seeing two girls and another guy. One of the girls was yelling at who he assumed was Skylar, or at least she was talking animatedly calling the other girl and idiot and asking how she could be so insensitive. Looking back to the man beside him he barely caught most of his questions. Something about a name and where it hurt. "Aleksandr and I think my ribs mostly, maybe my right leg." He had hit the car on his right side and while his left felt like it had some road rash it didn't seem to hurt as bad. He thought maybe he had hit his head too as he felt tired suddenly or maybe that was just the adrenaline draining from his system after running for so long.

Hector managed a faint smile at the question, shaking his head. “You’re in front of our stopped van, you’ll be fine.” He promised. When the man mentioned his ribs and leg, he nodded, looking over Aleksandr. “My name is Hector.” He said evenly. Shifting slightly, he tried for a calming smile. “I’m going to just run my hands along your leg, see if it feels broken. Alright?” he asked, waiting a moment before shifting to gently place his hands on either side of the man’s leg, carefully sliding his hands up, only putting the barest bits of pressure to test for any serious injury. “You probably still need to go to the doctor Aleksandr, you could have a concussion. That could be very serious.” He said carefully, looking back up to the meet the man’s eyes, trying to see how dazed he was. Should they force him to the hospital? Was letting him go just as bad as having driven off without stopping?

"Oh, well thats good that no one is just out in the street. I wouldn't want anyone getting hurt on my account." Aleksandr stated smiling a bit when Hector told him they were all merely infront of the van. "Nice to meet you Hector, sorry for hitting your van." he greeted when the man had given his name, the calming smile the man tried to give only Aleksandr smiling gently. At the prospect of Hector running his hands along his leg to see if anything was broken he nodded. He would need to keep from showing too much pain if it was when the man did it if he didn't want to be taken to a hospital. Though he sincerely hoped it wasn't broken as he had no idea what he would do if it was. The slight pressure going up his leg didn't hurt so much until Hector moved up towards his hip where even the light pressure there had Aleksandr grinding his teeth to not make a sound. It didn't feel completely broken but definately it was not right. He was strating to think that maybe he had gotten hit on the whole right side of his body from his hip to his shoulder. Some parts felt numb right now but he knew if he tried to move there would be pain. "Doesn't seem like my leg is broken." he offered once he had fought through the pain. It wasn't exactly a lie his leg wasn't broken and he didn't think his hip was exactly broken, probably fractured, hairline fracture maybe. It would hurt for a long while but he could deal with that as long as people left him alone. "I'll go to the doctor, i'll call him tomorrow and not sleep tonight to be sure about a concussion." all his words lies as he lifted his head to search for those whom had been chasing him just remembering them now.


Evelyn had finished yelling at Skylar and was watching Hector before them with the boy, Aleksandr whom they had hit. Something seemed a bit off to her about the boy though she couldn't place it. It was more concerning that despite having been hit by a car the boy didn't want to go to the hospital. She could almost plainly see why however, Aleksandr looked worn and weary. His clothes looked quite old and dirty, and he himself seemed dirty as well like he had been camping out for a couple of days. "Hector, maybe if he doesn't want to go to the hospital we could bring him home for the night. Just to make sure he doesn't have a concussion and that he gets to his doctor tomorrow." Evelyn suggested. She didn't think for one moment the boy was going to see a doctor but they could at least make sure he wasn't going to die from bleeding into his brain.

Hector watched the boy’s face, frowning slightly. He could see the tension there, the clench of the jaw. He knew he was lying, perhaps his leg wasn’t broken, but he was in pain. Yet he was still refusing to go to the doctor. Sighing in frustration, he sat back on his heels, considering Aleksandr silently. Could they force him to the hospital? His train of thought was interrupted by Evelyn however. Looking to the blonde, he arched a brow. Bringing some stranger into their house was an iffy idea, especially since they’d just hit the man. But he was their responsibility, wasn’t he? At least until they were sure he wasn’t going to die. Rubbing the back of his neck, he was silent for a moment before nodding. “Guess that’s the best thing we can do.” he mumbled, looking to the others for approval as well before turning to Aleksandr. “Well then, guess you’re crashing at our place if you’re not going to the doctor.” He said lightly, already moving to keep the boy from arguing with him. shifting to his other side, he leaned down to pick up put his arm around the boy and help him to his feet, Warren shuffling forward to help support him.

Aleksandr shrunk a bit when he sensed the frustration from Hector and watched as the man considered him. He didn't know what the man was considering but he wasn't sure he wanted to find out. He was startled when Hector looked away, someone else had said something making some suggestion or comment that had the manarching a brow. Aleksandr chewed on his bottom lip trying to see if he could figure out what had been said, it was times like this that made him hate his problem. He watched Hector when looking to others around didn't yield any clue and grew more confused when the man said that he guessed that was the best they could do. What? what was the best thing they could do? Were they going to force him to go to the hospital? He blinked then when Hector said that he would be crashing at their place. They were going to take him home? He didn't know how to respond to that and before he knew it Hecotr had shifted to his side to get him up and one of the other men too had moved. Then he was being picked up and helped to his feet which made the pain in his body flare up when he had merely felt numb before. He gave a soft cry but nothing more as he felt dizzy with the pain for a moment.


"Careful with him." Evelyn urged when Hector and Warren got Aleksandr to his feet and the boy had cried out. Warren glared at her, while he was helping he wasn't so sure about what they were doing. He thought they should merely take the boy to the hospital and leave him there with their apologies. But Evelyn and it seemed Hecotr had a bleeding heart.

Hector flinched slightly at the cry from Aleksandr, but he didn’t let him back down, just shifted to take more of his weight. Helping him around the car and into the door at the side, he reached in to grab a few things and toss them into the back before he helped Aleksandr in, carefully trying to keep him from shifting and stretching too much, especially on his injured side. As Hector and Warren helped the boy, Skylar crawled into the front seat, peering over the back at Alek, studying him closely. “Well you don’t look dangerous at least….in fact you look kinda scrawny. Surprised we didn’t break you with that hit. Why were you in the street anyway? It’s kinda dumb to dart out like that, even if there isn’t a lot of traffic.” She quickly fell into rambling as the others seemed to pointedly ignore her.

Aleksandr still felt woozy from the pain of moving despite feeling Hector take more of his weight. Therefore he didn't fight being moved to the car or into it once Hector had gotten some things moved into it. The movement into the car didn't hurt as much as it had getting up originally, but maybe that was because he had basically gone numb again. He looked around the car trying to clear his head a bit. He caught the end of Skylar's words something about traffic but he couldn't piece together what she had been saying. "What?" he questioned his light brown eyes focusing slightly on the woman in the front seat.


Evelyn got into the car once the boys had seemed to to have Aleksandr handled. As Skylar began to speak about them having hit Aleksandr she turned to look at the boy. She noticed that he seemed a bit out of it, probably his body trying to compensate for the pain. What caught her attention seemed to be the fact that he hadn't seemed to hear Skylar but he focused on her a few moments after she had started to go into her rant asking her to repeat what she had said.
