Is it true what they say, that words are weapons?
And if it is,then everybody best stop steppin',
Cause I got ten in my pocket that'll bend ya locket,
I'm tired of all these rockers sayin' come with me
Wait, it's just about to break, its more than I can take,
Everything's about to change,
I feel it in my veins, its not going away,
Everything's about to change.
There's a war going on inside of me tonight (don't be afraid)

☢ xxx The room was dark, almost pitch black. The only light came from a small computer screen in the far corner, but most of that light was blocked out by a rather unruly head of gray hair. Said head was currently nestled in the crook of two arms folded across each other and lightly snoring as the person said head was attached to had fallen asleep sometime in the wee hours of the morning. The words "Game Over" flashed on and off of the screen, bathing the boy in red light every other two seconds or so. Only a little bit of sound managed to escape the large headphones that were currently half on the boys head and half off, the culprit for the unruly head of hair. It was obvious that the boy had never even tried to get ready for bed, as he was still in the clothes he had changed into after school from the day before. The pale light of the computer reached just past his back, making every wrinkle of thread visible for the world to see the rest of the room was covered in darkness as the big black out curtains the young teen had put up were doing their job effectively. The only other thing that could be seen in the dark was the big green letters of a digital clock that had fallen off of its night stand, most likely during one of the boys wild flails at doing something totally awesome in his game, and was lying upside down on the floor. It was almost a surreal scene to be honest, real quiet and relaxed. Then a minute ticked by and the clock changed it's time, and suddenly it sounded like a train had smashed into the brass section of a marching band while someone shouted into a megaphone.
☯ xxx Scared out of his freaking mind, Nico Arisawa literally jumped out of his chair by at least three feet, ripping the headphones out of the socket and nearly dragging his laptop with them. Thankfully he was quick enough to catch it, though he did it in a way that slammed it shut, with his fingers caught in between the keyboard and the screen. "OW! OW! OW! OW!" the poor boy shouted, still so out of sorts and not really sure what the heck was going on as he stumbled backwards and tripped over the darned alarm clock before crashing down on his bed face first. "I mfrlly hudt da sdufip din." he muttered into the back of his pillow as he gingerly shoved his computer to the back of the bed and pushed himself up onto his feet. As soon as he could breath properly again he brought his sore fingers up to his lips to suck on them, trying to dull the throbbing pain as he used his other hand to reach down and grab the guilty piece of equipment from the floor. "Shut up. Shut up. Shut up." he repeated, and hitting the alarm off button never felt so good as that moment. He didn't bother to be gentle, when he tossed the thing back onto the nightstand. Grumbling the gray haired boy studied the big numbers on the clock, taking a moment to realize just what they meant. "Ah crap, I stayed up all night again." well that was a lie, he had actually crashed about a good three or four hours ago, but sleeping at your desk is a hell of a lot different than sleeping on a nice comfy bed. And actually getting some real sleep would have been nice. This made day two of nerd-a-thon. Today was going to drag. "And I didn't even get to beat that level. Megastarwizard is going to kill me." Nico groaned, wincing at the tirade his online gaming partner was going to send his way via owl after he ditched him for a few z's. Oh well, he'd have time to think about that later, right now he had to get ready for school. So with a heavy heart and an even heavier feeling head, the teen logged out of the game and shut down the computer.
☢ xxx After navigating his way through the mess of his room, because let's face it he's a teenage boy and a total nerd at that, he managed to make it to his dresser. The room he had been given didn't come with a closet and he had asked rather nicely for a dresser to put his clothes in. He'd never seen people jump so fast in his life. He's not sure why, since a lot of the others had asked for more important things than a dresser. Still, he'd gotten one almost instantly and now it was packed full of various styles of clothing. Though he was getting fond of all the cool looking ones that keep popping up, he still didn't know where they came from. He just assumed that the elders were trying to make him comfortable. Honestly they didn't have to try so hard, after living with his parents anywhere was comfortable for him sadly to say. Shaking his head to clear those thoughts out, Nico opened up the top drawer where he kept all of his school uniforms. Being summer he didn't have to wear the big bulky one for winter, and he was really glad that the summer one wasn't as heavy. It took him a moment to find all the parts to the uniform, having just stuffed it into the drawer instead of folding it neatly after the maids had brought them back from the laundry. But he managed to find it all and in the end left his room with it bundled up under his arms. Thankfully the bathroom wasn't occupied, as most of the other kids his age had probably woken up earlier since Nico always timed it to the last minute, and he was able to get in and out without any hassle. A scalding hot shower did wonders to the aching muscles he had gotten from sleeping at his desk. The room was filled to the brim with steam long after he left the room.
☯ xxx Heading back to his room, he had to go by the stairs. Nico could hear the hustle and bustle of everyone down below moving around, and the smell of breakfast was wafting up through the floor boards. It made his stomach growl and he couldn't help but drool a little. "Oh man, I am starving. Gotta go get me some of that action real quick." he said, wiping what little drool that escaped onto his shirt sleeve before ducking back into his room to finish his morning routine. All he had to do was slip on his sneakers, grab his glasses, and brush his hair though, as his school bag was already put together complete with finished homework and everything. He was always a stickler for his grades. For some odd reason, at that thought he suddenly got a rather odd feeling. Like someone was watching, and criticizing him for something. He suddenly thought of the word nerd before the feeling passed. "Well, that was freaking weird." he said, nose wrinkling in confusion. What the heck was that? It had been a strange feeling, but it hadn't been the first time that he'd felt something like that. In fact he'd been feeling things like that for a little while now, almost everyday if he was being honest with himself. He wondered briefly if it was something medical, and a bit of an alarmed feeling sort of sparked out as he shook his head. But being a hungry teen he soon lost interest in it not too long after that thought, and the feeling disappeared, so he just let it go and opted to head out for whatever was making that really good smell. Shrugging his shoulders he headed out the door, grabbing his bag and slinging it onto his shoulder as he made his way down stairs.
☢ xxxThere were already a few people in there, though the most notable would have to be Amate and Junya. In fact Nico was really proud of himself for remembering their names. He always had trouble with names and faces, though right now it was hard not to notice Junya since the man was shirtless. "Uh, why are you naked?" was the first thing that came to Nico's mind and wouldn't you know his brain wasn't on speaking terms with his mouth today. Embarrassment swam across the boys face in a nice shade of read as he scolded himself inwardly for being so forward. That was just not something he wanted to deal with, especially since that weird feeling was coming back just a little. Instead he turned his attention over to the other most notable person in the room and nodded at her as he moved to drop his bag beside a chair at the table. "Morning Miss Amate." he said, throwing her a small smile and a friendly nod of the head before sitting down at the table. "I didn't expect you to be awake so early, are you planning on going somewhere?" He asked, trying to start a friendly conversation so he didn't focus on his rudeness with Junya. A little small talk was always good and polite right? Well it was a safer bet of not putting his foot in his mouth at the moment anyway. God why was he such a dork? An odd feeling of agreement surged up in him, and he could only question if he was coming down with a cold or something as he tried to stamp it down while keeping a straight face as he looked over at the woman across from him.
