Nikita "Viktor" Vissarionovich

Nikita was addressed by piano girl, otherwise known as Tempest. He was asked whether or not he knew a "decent amount" about technology. He slightly chuckled as "a decent amount" was putting it lightly. But he did not want to appear braggadocios. "Yes. I do create apps for a living." He paid attention to her in order to see where she wanted to go with this.

Tempest knew not to trust anyone here, or anyone in general, but she knew she needed to get help when it was needed, even If the person helping didn't need to know specific details. Tempest began to tap her fingers lightly against the counter as she thought of how to word her next question. "Well, if someone had your phone number, how easy would it be for that person to access other information in your phone?" she asked, in a nonchalant manner, acting like it was a normal question. Way to go, not like that wasn't suspicious at all. She thought to herself as she waited for Viktor's response. She was wary of Skylar's presence as well, but knew Skylar wouldn't pry for information about anything, she also seemed to be in her own little world.

Sky was half listening when she all of a sudden came up with some lyrics. She opened the book and started writing them down before looking up when she heard Tempest's question. She decided to just shrug it off, but it did bring up some interest. Maybe it was just a question, but maybe something was going on. Skylar placed the notebook back down.

She wondered about many things as she stood there. Sky's mind could go all places and she was fine with it she loved the adventures her mind could take her, except for when she spaced out and missed something important.

Nikita "Viktor" Vissarionovich

Nikita listened to her question. Are you serious? He said as he kept the same face in real life. Before formulating an answer, Nikita wondered how Tempest knew that he was the "tech" guy. As far as he was concerned, he was a nobody. Especially when compared to those around him. Tempest knowing about him meant that she had prior knowledge about him. This worried him to an extent. He would have to subtly pry and get to the bottom of it one way or another.

He started to think of her question. It was no doubt to do with the phone-call she had earlier. "
Well, the thing with phone numbers is that the sim-cards that contain the numbers are placed in specialised slots of the phone. The number is not directly connected to the memory of the phone, meaning that getting information that is inside your phone that is not on that very sim-card, namely everything other than your number and a few number codes to do with the provider, would be virtually impossible to access. The only way they could get any information on you with your number is your location via tracking which requires some gadgets that are not easily found in public and is really to do with tracing where the call comes from using the electromagnetic waves that the calls travel with. They could also get some private credentials with your number from your provider. But I doubt it since most providers would not reveal such information. They would have to get a virus of some sorts inside the memory of your phone to access the information there...sorry. I kinda got carried away. Simple answer is no. They can only get your location. That is only if you call them."

Tempest observed that Viktor kept an even face, but it seemed too much like a poker face. She hoped she hadn't given anything away about information she learned before coming to the villa, or clues as to why she was asking questions. Tempest then relaxed after hearing what Viktor said, not even realizing she had tensed up when waiting for his response. She felt relived, but not fully convinced. The blocked number who had called her really freaked her out. Sure fans have found her number before, but no one had used it for personal gain or threats. She realized she had been thinking for some time and looked back at Viktor. "You didn't get carried away, it was helpful. I was just wondering in case any fans found my number again, but I guess I have nothing to worry about, so thanks for the reassurance" She replied, the lie came easy and Tempest just hoped Viktor was better at details of tech than catching people in the midst of lying.

Skylar was becoming even more curious, but she did her best not to pry into someone's life. She looked over at Carter and smiled as he saw he was still talking to the girl. She stood there awkwardly. As she began twiddling with her thumbs. She looked around the place not exactly knowing what to do. There was so much everywhere. Skylar's phone dinged and she looked at it. She saw what it said and rolled her eyes at the message.

Her manager had texted her about how they need a new scandal to get her into the headlines. Sky hated the idea of people prying their way into someone else's life all because they wanted to use ones name on the front of the magazine.

"Ahh yes. The ...fans have their ways of finding the most random information about you don't they?" He bit his tongue for the small clue he gave her by telling the word fans slightly differently. But he did not want to give her time to think about it. "There is a chance that your phone could be infected with a virus though. Great hackers can get crafty and sometimes even opening up a random link can lead to your phone being infected. If information on your phone is being spread, then there is a chance you might have opened up something in the past and just forgotten about it. I could run it by an anti-virus if you'd like."

Tempest thought he knew more than he was letting on, after all he was an intelligent guy. She raised an eyebrow and tapped her hand as she listened to him. She pondered over his offer, but assumed it was better to know who was going into her phone to help than to call the random number's threats a bluff. "Yes, that would be great. If we can do it as soon as possible that would be great too..." She began, but didn't want to seem too eager. "But, I don't want to take you away from your tea." She added, motioning to the tea. She saw Skylar roll her eyes and asked "Everything Okay?"

Nikita smiled as Tempest mentioned of how she didn't want to take him away from the tea. Take me away from my tea? Heh. She could try...He picked up his mug of tea and then pocketed his phone. He then proceeded to slowly walk out of the kitchen to be careful with the mug. Before exiting the kitchen he turned to her. "If you want me to look at it at this moment, you could just give me your phone now...Or you could just...come with me to my room...i-if you'd like." He did not know why he stuttered like that. Maybe it was due to his general inexperience with socialising.

Just my manager wanting me to do some idiotic thing just, so my name gets on the front of the magazine,” she said “sorry for complaining,” she added. “I can just hear how annoying I sound,” she added with a small laugh.

Skylar saw the two talking and she didn’t know whether to step out of the way or what. She bit her lip as she felt even more awkward then normal.

She rolled her eyes along with Skylar "I know how you feel, I put my manager's number on do not disturb today because he's been texting me nonstop...Maybe we need to refer their numbers to each other" Tempest said with a light laugh. She was going to ask if Skylar wanted to go with Viktor as well, but decided against it because she didn't want to worry Skylar and she assumed that Viktor knew more than he let on. "Yeah I'll come with you" Tempest followed Viktor, This way I can try and see what he knows, and hopefully make sure he doesn't do anything with my phone that I wouldnt want She thought. Tempest was always this cautious when it came to people, even her own friends.

Nikita got a little excited when she agreed to have him scan her phone at that moment. Her coming with him was not really preferable. But he could very easily sneak in his own little virus that he had been working on. He had used it to crack phones very successfully in the past and he had only added improvements to it ever since the last time he used it. His plan was to just leave it in her phone and get as much data as he could. He did hide these emotions however.

He made his way into his room and then placed his mug on the table. "
Close the door please." He said as he sat down on his chair. Nikita then opened up his backpack and got out a box that was filled with wires. After taking another good look at her phone, he got the wire with the appropriate connection plugs and then stuck the USB end into his laptop.

Upon opening his laptop, a red background could be seen with the slot to enter his password in the centre, along with the date and time of the day higher up on the screen. After looking at the date, he entered his password in full view of he girl, not caring whether she saw it or not. This may look like a gesture of trust to a normal person. But little did anybody know, that
Nikita had created an algorithm that changed his password with the date and the time which he memorised. There were no two moments in time where his password was the same. "Connect your phone to that." He said as he gestured to the wire he had just connected to his phone.

Skylar decided to head upstairs and work on a song of hers. She grabbed her things and walked up the stairs to her newly decorated room. There were plants, lights, and everything else that showed her personality. Many instruments were over the room. Some hung on the walls and others placed on stands. She had a mic in the corner if she felt like recording something and he bed was filled with scrap papers from writing.

Sky sat on the chair in her room. She picked up her guitar, and she decided to get to work. She started playing freely and attempting to get out all the emotions that she had from the day. Sky soon stood up and looked in the mirror. She stared at herself for a moment before noticing her flaws. She sighed as she wished herself to look more beautiful. Fans tell her she’s beautiful all the time, but even the love from people who admired her so highly could not make her see the beauty within herself.

Starring at herself in the mirror going from head to toe picking out the flaws that only she saw. It had been a long time since she did this, but something stirred her and she just wanted to pick apart herself. She walked out of her bathroom and back into her room. Sky accidentally left the door open.

Tempest shut the door, she knew she probably could not trust a tech guru like Viktor, but she'd rather have someone with no motives access her phone than a news outlet. She decided to try to see what information she could get, even though she knew a few things about everyone here before she came, "Your real name isn't Viktor, is it?" Tempest asked even though she knew the answer. She quickly wiped her phone of any important, compromising information before turning away from the door and walking further into the room and next to his desk.

Nikita briefly froze as Tempest pointed out that Viktor was only an alias. He looked at her in the eyes for a moment before turning back to his laptop. "How did you know?" He asked while opening up the command prompt in his computer. He typed in a code that would open a program called "Anti-Virus4mobile.exe" in a certain directory. What was hidden from plain view was the fact that he merely opened a shortcut that would itself go to that very Antivirus. The shortcut was also prepared to spread his virus without having any sort of indicator on the screen or anywhere. The anti-virus popped up and had a very simple user interface. Nikita selected the operating system that the phone clearly had and then held his hand out, gesturing for her to give him the phone.

What made this virus his was the fact that it was slightly bigger than other viruses. While most other viruses just sucked out information and sent it to Viktor, this one that he programmed allowed him to transmit information to the virus, allowing him to directly control the virus, and by extension, his phone, as long as they had some way to connect.
Nikita stopped thinking about his virus. He instead turned his attention back to the girl.

When Tempest saw Viktor's reaction to her question she smirked, she didn't like being seen as weak, her father had taught her better than that. "I know about everyone here due to tabloids and my cautious manager...But you? You were harder to find. I do believe I know someone you know as well" She said. Tempest extended her phone out to Viktor, little did he know she had two different phones, she was an anxious person. If she suspected him of hacking into this phone, or if he told her the blocked number had created a virus, she could just use the other one no problem.

A person that I know... The thought perplexed him. It was possible that a person who had worked for him in terms of play testing of an app in the past might have revealed information about him. But that was a long time ago. Nikita had been pretty much working alone for a long time. "Tabloids are for idiots...Your manager had to dig deep to find someone to give information on me. Or maybe the villa owners just outright told him."

He then plugged in the phone and pressed the scan button. The antivirus rapidly scanned through the hundreds of files that were within the phone in order to find some remnant of a virus, while his virus had already made its way into the phone. The virus stored itself in the BIOS files of the phone so as to make its detection very difficult. It would just lay there, waiting for a command. OR IT WOULD ACTIVATE ITS AI PROGRAM, TURN INTO SKYNET AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD... Nikita thought to himself jokingly. He also thought that it was time for him to do a little bit of a background check on Tempest later on. He noted it in his mind.

"We all have our secrets..." Tempest simply stated and watched as Viktor worked with her phone. She was wary of what he could possibly do with her device, but she was too tired to care at the moment. She would definitely try to find out more information about him later on though. After retrieving her phone she left the room without another word, feeling like nothing more needed to be said and with her jet lag catching up to her. She walked past a room with an open door and , seeing Skylar looking in a mirror she called out "Hey Skylar".

She turned her head towards the direction where the floatie was, sighing in relief. "Thank goodness.." She laughed awkwardly and waddled up to it to pick it up. "You're not wrong about me not knowing how to swim though, Hoon Gi.. Never bothered to take any classes."

Sena carried the floatie to the pool, slipping it onto the pool to float on the water before she would go down the steps slowly. She then held onto it and lifted herself up to get on it carefully

Reagan noted the eyebrow raise he gave her and returned with one of her own. "Surely you've been told you're attractive?" she said, chuckling quietly. She's had plenty of guys, and girls, yell absolutely obscene things at her all the time. Concerts, meet and greets, CD releases, it didn't matter where they were or how public it was, it happened all the time. The leather was a large part of it. People just tended to associate leather with attractiveness most of the time. This did not mean that Reagan assumed she was attractive because of this; people yelled obscene things to others all the time. She had found out long ago that if she judged her own worth against what other people thought, she would be spiraling down a dark rabbit hole that had no bottom. She knew at the end of the day, with all leather and makeup removed, she was just average, no need for anyone to get into a tizzy. She looked Carter over again. "Do I make you anxious?" she asked, genuinely curious. "Your body language has changed slightly since I've been talking to you." She cocked an eyebrow at him as she put down her plate and took a long sip of her drink. She shrugged. "You should only take the parts you really want," she murmured. "With passion like yours, it would be silly to take parts that you don't really want." She paused and suddenly her eyes went wide. "I'm sorry. Just ignore me. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm not an actress. Never have been." She shook her head. "Just tell me to be quiet and leave you alone," she chuckled. "I'm useless."

Carter smirked slightly. “No I’m not anxious just I do these things mainly out of habit. Skylar and I have somewhat picked up on each others habits,” he told her with a small laugh. “Yes you’re right but sometimes I can’t do that. It’s not always fun, but it is my job. I do however find jobs that I truly love, and they are the best,” he told her with a small smile. “You’re not useless. You’re very smart,” he told her with a friendly smile. Carter felt the buzz again and he ignored it.

Reagan nodded. "Skylar? The singer? I knew I recognized that girl. You hold a strong affection for her." She smiled wide. She knew Skylar's music well enough. "You do pick up habits from people you hang around. I picked up a ton of stuff from my band members over the last year and a half. Hanging around a bunch of rowdy guys will make you act like one." She chuckled as she shook her head. "That makes sense. Your job is still your job. Still hate that for you. I really do." She looked at him with a sad smile and then suddenly laughed. Hard. "Smart? Smart is not the word I would use to describe me." The skin around her bright brown eyes crinkled with laughter. "There are lots of words to describe me. But that one would not be at the top of the list."
 
Carter looked confused when she said affection. He still didn’t understand those feelings. “She’s just my best friend,” he told her with a small smile. He chuckled slightly when she said that she wasn’t smart. “Well you just have some knowledge in that brain of yours,” he said. Carter looked at the girl. Was he feeling something? He shoved any feeling like that away.

Have you met Skylar yet?” He asked her. Carter smiled at her with his bright handsome smile. He studied her face for a moment looking at the way her face was shaped. The smile was bright on her and there was so many beautiful things he noticed. He loved looking at people and finding the little things that made them unique.

Skylar turned away from the crystal clean mirror that made it even easier to point out her flaws, and she saw tempest. She smiled at her. “How’s your phone?” She asked. She still didn’t know what was going on, but she knew it was more then just a simple thing. She thought for a moment about it before she; also, remembered he didn’t seem extremely trust worthy.

Skylar kept the smile on her lips and tapped her side with her hand gently, so that she could keep her brain occupied.

"Knowledge?" Reagan chuckled. "I've got a ton of incredibly random knowledge up here," she touched a finger to her temple twice. "Like, did you know Parmesan cheese isn't vegetarian?" she laughed again, "Because that's the only kind of knowledge I've got." She shook her head with a half smile. She briefly studied Carter's handsome face as he spoke. Then he shot a smile that could make anyone melt. Don't start. You two are from very different worlds. Rockstar doesn't even seem his type. Your stage name is Riot for crying out loud. Reagan bit her lower lip and ran a hand through her hair, shaking it out in the process: a thing she did when she was nervous. She suddenly realized he had asked her a question. Happy for the distraction, she shook her head. "Skylar? No, I have not met her in person. I've heard her music though. She's great. We just don't-" she chuckled again- "exactly hang around the same music crowds." Carter's dark hair, bright eyes, and killer smile made it hard to look away. "You said she's your best friend, right? That's hella cool. I've heard from others that she is super nice."
