Between School, Study, And sleep... Merin has been Extremely busy. However finally an opportunity Mid-Day arose in which he wasn't tired, And wasn't in class. This being the first chance since he got here he was going to take it.


He walked into the room, Noticing the few other people. He walked over to aquarium and watched the fish for abit. Then after a few minutes he grew bored of this and proceeded to look out the window. After identifying several birds, And a couple spiders He grew bored of this also.

Merin:Hey wait! this is the perfect opportunity!

He disappeared in the direction of his dormitory, Then returned carrying an odd looking instrument. It looked like a piece of thick wood, with three guitar necks built into it. He was also carrying a backpack, He set the instrument down, And took out a screwdriver, With which he undid the screws that held the on/off switch in place and had a look at it,

Merin;Oh, I don't even have to go to technology hall! I can fix this right here!

He returned the screwdriver, And fished out some wire and solder and proceeded to work on the internal workings of the on/off switch.

(OOC: Edit: I did Edit but nothings changed about the scenario, I just got rid of a certain area I typed twice)

What am I Doing!? Am I crazy?! I have no idea what I'm going to do now. I mean I invited that Brian guy to come to the courtyard, but man. Woo, what have I gotten myself into? I've even grown stupid to even run after that lady on the horse. What was I thinking to drag these people into a group? Ryu has told them to help us. I know it seems very logical, but for some reason it doesn't feel right. Perhaps getting people together was right. I don't know, maybe not if I'm the one doing this. Ugh, why can't everything be simpler? My brain hurts enough thinking about this.

A tall (very tall) young lady walked into the lobby of the dorms. She had left the place ready to get food from the Soylent Hall, but it had ended up in disastrous news. The school was to be shut down, but now we're getting help from these Nation of True Humanity freaks (or so she thought). Not only on top of that, the girl was all hyped up on her natural instincts of which she wished she had never done. A boy of the name Brian managed to reach her head about making your own choice of the situation. Alleta had managed to get to him and then just out of no where plan a secret meeting in the courtyard tomorrow. Not only that, bring people who thought the same. What was she planning on doing?! The girl was completely off course of her normal self. There was no stopping this because she had already conducted the meeting and backing down would only put a bad reputation on her name. She really didn't want that. The girl began to think while she proceeded through the door.

I mean,...what am I supposed to do? Just leave them all hanging while I said to meet them there. That would be unfair and would un-doubtly say that I cannot keep a word to any person. *sigh* Maybe, maybe this could be a group of people. It could be a group of people who want to keep ourselves. Hmm, a group of people who could lie low for now until the right moment pops out. I don't know where I'm going with this. I need to sleep or just jump off a building. Yah, that would make things a lot easier, but who knows those crazy nurses they could probably just bring me back from the dead. That wouldn't work either. Why am I even standing up for this school!? I hate the morals of fighting! And I also am not fond of having these powers or anyone having powers for a fact! Why is this going to bite my ass in the end? All I want to do is shred some pow.

The brown haired girl stood clothed in snowboarding gear, a snowboard on back, and a skate board in hand. The muffin she and Fen had been nibbling on had been lost in the crowd of the angry mob of the auditorium. She stood not too far off from the boy who was working on his guitar, but still a good distance to not notice the boy in the middle of the tiled floor. Her figure was not straight nor healthily looking. No, if the boy had looked at her this moment her body was slouched and as if she was going to die of some unknown source. The young Italian woman was not at all feeling the best. She felt that if she died right now, she would be alright with it. Poor girl just needs a break and wasn't finding here at AHS.

It wasn't too long the girl found herself seated in a circle of very comfortable couches around a round table. She lied on her back, her feet hung over the arm of the chair, her arms thrown up over her head and her skateboard and snowboard lying on the floor beside the couch. Her golden browns were covered by her eye lids as she tried to relax from the terrible things that were to come. She didn't know of what they would be, but she knew exactly that they would come eventually. It was a stressful morning that was turning into a full on stressful day. What if no one showed up? Then, would that mean she'd have to learn her powers on her own? That was the main reason she had moved here to this school, lied to her parents, and disappeared from the snowboarding media. She didn't want to be called a freak and disappoint her mother and father. She didn't want to hurt anyone from the lack of control of using her powers. She never wanted the powers. And more importantly, she did not want to be called a cheater. The girl had never cheated in her life of snowboarding and never will. She had never asked for the powers in the first place.

Not only did she have to figure these out, she had to figure out these haunting messages from a previously dead loved one. The revisits of Rei had not only scared the crap out of her, but have reawakened some hope that he probably had not died. She still was stubborn though. The girl could still not manage to break the bond of wanting normalcy in this world. She was stilling having a hard time grasping the concept that things were never going to be normal. Ever since she had attained these powers nothing would ever be the same.

The girl took a few deep breathes to put her mental state into relaxation. She tried to clear her mind of everything hoping that maybe this would all go away. Maybe everything was just a dream and she would actually wake up to be walking to get food from the cafeteria like any other morning. That maybe the walk to the auditorium was just only a dream. The girl lied there lifeless while a white kitten managed to struggle himself out from inside her jacket. The white kitten looked upon the girls face with his brilliant blue eyes. The kitten could feel her distress. He just curled into a ball on her chest underneath her chin. The kitten too closed his eyes to rest along with the girl. The kitten feared what might become of the two. What was the girl, Alleta, to do?

He had barely finish restoring the connection between the Selection switch (The switch that chooses between necks) and the necks When a woman, Obviously a little older, And her current condition made her seem older still...

He avoided looking in her direction, As he could sense she was suffering stress, And the feeling seemed to be growing by the minute. It was enough to give him a sick feeling, he couldn't bare to think what she was going through.

He has learned... That at this school most like to deal with stress on their own, But after several minutes of trying to avoid the whole thing his good nature got the best of him. He stood up and walked over the the area where she was resting, He spoke up with a very genuine, But "well worded" speech...

Merin:Erm, Uh, I don't know what you are going through but... Um....

Merin:You know about Chaos theory? Erm, I personally belive that we existed when the dinosaurs did, But if they didn't die out then there would be alot fewer of... Lets find another example!

Merin:When an ocean volcano erupts the magma cools, Most of the time it will simply fall apart and float away... But over time this action can create an island full of life....

Merin:I guess what I mean is that what ever you are going through the end result will be good.... Eventually.

Slightly embarrassed he went back over to his guitar and started working farther.

“Erm, Uh, I don't know what you are going through but... Um...,” Alleta and the kitten opened there eyes to look upon a younger boy who had perked interest in her stressful thoughts. Ah, what is this now? More trouble for me, I hope not! She took hold of Fen and began to sit upward.

“You know about Chaos theory? Erm, I personally belive that we existed when the dinosaurs did, But if they didn't die out then there would be alot fewer of... Lets find another example!” was next said by the boy. Alleta’s eyebrows rose to reveal her pretty golden brown eyes at the boy. What was he talking about!? Dinosaurs!? It was too much for her mind to decipher at the time being.

“When an ocean volcano erupts the magma cools, Most of the time it will simply fall apart and float away... But over time this action can create an island full of life....,” the boy continued after his dinosaurs speech. Alleta seemed to roll her eyes trying to figure out what he was talking about. She wasn’t usually this irritated with people. In fact Alleta never really had people get to her, but at the times crisis it probably wasn’t the right time for the boy to be rambling odd sayings to her. Her mind had to figure out already too many things at once. Although, what he said made perfect sense, but didn’t go with what he had previously said. Alleta took hold of Fen in her lap and petted him gently. What was this boy getting at?

“I guess what I mean is that what ever you are going through the end result will be good.... Eventually,” the boy said lastly and returned to a strange three necked guitar. The thought of two necks was crazy, but three! How smart were people getting? Well, for a fact Alleta was a smart one. She fit the pieces together of what the boy was trying to say to her. She managed to let out a long sight looking as the boy took hold of his guitar and started to mess around with it. He was right. In the end things would turn out good. Maybe the school should have not worried so much of what actions should have taken. In the end somehow it would turn around and become what they wanted. The matter was how that would happen? How many lives were going to be on the line? What would be left after the chaos? These were certainly questions that probably ran through the many students minds of AHS.

The boy had managed to put a smile on the whizzing minded brown haired lass. She started to relax a little. The boy’s comforting words reminded her of a boy she would never forget. It as comforting to feel the same things she had back on the mountain at home. The vibe that just made life seems more simple and enjoyable. Why couldn’t everyone be like that? Why couldn’t they just enjoy life while they could? Alleta had no idea for answers, but knew right here in this moment she should try making the best of it.

Alleta returned to the position she had started from on he couch and looked toward the boy with his three necked guitar. She smiled and spoke back, “You know, you’re probably right. I shouldn’t worry so much. Just go with the flow you know. Ever since I’ve come here it has just been a train wreck to my stress levels. I just wish things could just go back to being normal without this power stuff,” she paused to return looking up at the ceiling, “The names Alleta, Alleta Cameo by the way.”

After deciding to finally put down his tools, And put up the guitar until he could test it, a female voice reached his ear, "You know, you’re probably right. I shouldn’t worry so much. Just go with the flow you know.".

He was startled, He didn't know whether or not to expect a reply, But he listened intently to what she had to say,"I shouldn’t worry so much. Just go with the flow you know. Ever since I’ve come here it has just been a train wreck to my stress levels. I just wish things could just go back to being normal without this power stuff,” she paused to return looking up at the ceiling, “The names Alleta, Alleta Cameo by the way.”

Merin:"Good to see you may be feeling a little better now,,,"

He figured that someone who would actually listen to something he said at least deserved his name...

Merin:"I'm Merin Verech, But I doubt you've seen me around much as the trip here has truly messed up my sleeping schedule."

He noticed that for a split second she seemed to glance at the odd instrument, So he gave an explanation,

Merin:"Your probably wondering what this is... I didn't know either till I did some research."
"This is a three neck, Steel guitar, Made by Leo Fendor. Fairly old."
"Now, When a musician needs to be able to change the tone of his guitar, They have pedals to do that, But used to you would get one of these and tune each neck differently."

He stopped himself before giving a history of such instruments, But figured enough information was given.

Merin:"Anyway, I think it should work now, so..."

He disappeared for a few minutes, Then re-entered empty handed.

"Good to see you may be feeling a little better now," he shot back. Better!? Ha! It looked as if this boy hadn't heard the news yet. He looked as if he was too busy to even car as he twiddled away at his three necked guitar. Sometimes she wondered how people made it through life knowing so little around them. It was comforting to know that someone seemed so calm at the time of danger. It was helping the nerves settle down for a little while. Comfort was what most people needed here at AHS and right now she was receiving a little. In the end it just seems like it wouldn't matter too much. What could a girl do?

Now the boy went rambling on about his guitar. It was a mistake to take a look at it. She could obviously see that the guitar had three necks and knew what it was for. However, who it was made by was new to her. You could tell Alleta was still a little stressed over things. Irritation was getting the best of her as the boy was teaching her about a musical instrument. It wasn't that she wanted to be irritated by the boy, but you know how a girl works. A little stress and an explosion might occur if irritation is added to the mix. Luckily enough for Merin Alleta had self control over blowing up in people's faces. She isn't the type to easily break down on others. It was unfair and cruel to do so.

:"Anyway, I think it should work now, so...," the boy said as he left the lobby. Alleta watched the boy leave with his guitar and a raised brow. This boy is a little strange. He seems way too calm in the first place. Secondly, he just randomly goes on about something and leaves. I say, interesting strange people here at AHS. It was nice to feel alone in the lobby with the exception of the lobbyist. The sound of a still room was rather insisted on times of a troubled mind. Silence helped thoughts be scanned thoroughly rather than hastily or as it went for Alleta. That’s when she realized she had specified a time to meet the boy at the courtyard. "DARNIT!" a loud whisper escaped her lips upon stumbling a hole in her plan. If the boy hadn't noticed an accent before, her Italian accent was sure to be heard now.

Distracted by the boy returning with nothing but his self, Alleta began to feel frustrated inside again. Even if acting on rational impulses she managed to still screw up some part of it. She gave a large sigh and rolled to face inward to the couch. Fen looked surprised to be tilted in a new direction, but managed to hop to lie next to her on the couch in an open space beside her. The white kitten re-closed his eyes to snooze for a while.

He was never good at conversation, very few understood the way he thought... And he was fine with that, But when this misunderstanding leads to irritation it is a slight source of guilt...

He did not know what provoked "Darnit!" But was fairly sure he hadn't helped the situation any by talking so much.


He let go of this thought temporarily, As he could deal with it later. He sat down at the far end of the room, And sat in the corner. Idleness provoked thought, Thought provoked rest. He closed his eyes for a few minutes, And thought "Wye am I here?""How do I get there?" "What will it take?" and how long?" what provoked these thoughts he didn't know,He was where he needed to be, He was already "There" And it would not take time or effort... Then once again, "How long?"East or west?" "Boat or plane? These thoughts where just repeating, So he started to wake up, But as he opened his eyes, in the back of his mind he heard,

"I have to help my friend."

He woke with a start, Getting a few dirty looks from some of the studying students...

Merin:Perhaps I should get some sleep.

Despite this comment, He sat right there, Unmoving lazy looking,

He only prayed that he hadn't muttered in his sleep, as he did not wish to add insanity to the list of misconceptions he already faced...

But after all, He could be mad, As he was fairly sure those thoughts weren't his.

Alleta listened to the boy’s footsteps and then the air from the cushion escaped as he set himself on a seat towards a corner of the room. It probably seemed that she was not being polite to the boy, but it was a time to relax. The auditorium insanity was racing through her mind. It was rather odd that the boy hadn’t said anything about it. A pair of eyes tilted to land on the figure of the boy from before. He was resting himself on a seat in the corner of the room. He was rather peculiar to Alleta. He had spent a few seconds speaking to her about how things would come together and then his guitar. Now he looked as if he was avoiding her. Did she scare him off? Scaring people was not what she did to most people. Surprised?! You bet, she was surprised that the boy hadn’t returned back to the location he had been at.

A hand bristled over Fen gently as she shifted onto her stomach to get her neck at a better angle. “Hey you!, Merin was it? What are you doing over there and why are you acting so calm? Haven’t you heard the news?” Alleta questioned the boy. The people in the surrounding area sent piercing glares at the young woman who hadn’t taking any consideration to their studying. Being loud was her thing and not caring was another? Why should she be judged for being different?

He had repeated those simple sentences over several times in his head... He was never able to make anything of it. Eventually, The words seemed to shrink, And eventually he was only able to remember the last of them, "I Have to help my friend!"

He sighed, And looked up from his spot, It took him a few minutes to relies, Someone had called his name, Looking in the direction of the voice, He listened,"What are you doing over there and why are you acting so calm? Haven’t you heard the news?”

He figured that it would be polite to the people near if he went over to where she was sitting, So he walked to the sitting area, Sat on the floor, And answered,

Merin:I shall answer the former first, I can think better in a cramped space, So I went over there to rest my mind and....

Despite the truth in these words... He could tell she wasn't buying a word of it...

Merin:And I habitually talk alot about random stuff to people I've just met.

Merin:The later, Yes I have, I was at the Auditorium...

An unatural look came over his face, Showing his oppinion of it all...

Merin:I'm not very pleased... But about being calm...

His appearance changed immediately to reflect his lazy, Laid back attitude...

Merin:I've learned... That if you are not calm, Then you cant do a thing to help your problems.

Not knowing whether to expect a reply, He stood found a chair near enough to hear any possible reply, And sat.

Was it her or was this boy a little weird? Why wouldn't anyone be calm in a time like this? Sure, there were tough guys all around, but always being calm didn't mean that it would mean you always be able to solve your problems. You could solve problems when you weren't' calm. She did and proved it at the gym. The guy must of have been new to the school like her self. There wasn't a possible way that someone who had been here might know a little less than she. It was hard to figure out AHS students. Another reason she didn't like being here.

"I'm not truly sure on that last statement Merin. I'm quite sure people can still solve problems not calm. I believe sometimes it provokes thought quicker in times of hesitation and fear. It is the ones that are consumed by one such quality that they can not solve a problem," the girl gestured her opinion to the boy. She still lay on her stomach following the movements to the boy that landed him right on a seat nearby. Alleta was beginning to feel restless. It was hard to keep a conversation when stressed. A little inside of her said that she should have never started a conversation with this boy, but she did need recruits for tomorrow. And so she spoke boldly to the young man, "Well, on another note. I know this may be out of the blue, but about the auditorium incident," she paused to make sure she was looking at him with confidence and concern, "Are you with what is going on with the True Nation? Do you believe we should be getting help from them?" Alleta choose her words carefully making sure she didn't hint just yet that she was against what they were doing and that they shouldn't be here at this school.

Listening to her resoning, And oppinion on this statement, He noded slowly, And finally replied,


Merin:"Well, I've never liked stress, So when I get stressed I try to deal with it as soon as possible, And when I cant I will think on the whole and try to come up with something..."

He thought a little more,

Merin:"Trust me though... I'm only in such a state as this when I'm bored... I'm only bored when I'm idle, And when not idle, I have another issue to direct my thoughts twords..."

He highly doubted that it made much since, But was fine with that.... This talk about such things got him thinking of what he used to do back at his supposed home, The orphanage....

Which got him thinking about all the trouble him and his friend got into.... two weeks seemed like an eternity, And even longer now that the government may never allow him to see his friend again....

But finally these thoughts where broken buy a final question, "Are you with what is going on with the True Nation? Do you believe we should be getting help from them?",

Merin:"No, no I'm not."

Merins face went through another change, This however was not of negative emotion, He actually seemed curious...

Alleta noticed the change in expression towards the question of the current events. He seemed curious and said that he was not with what the school agreed with. Perhaps he would be interested in coming to the meeting tomorrow. Although it did take a lot of courage in times like these to stand up to what you believed in, even if it were to be very dangerous.

"I have a proposition to ask of you. If you are against these New Eden people, then are you willing to put your life on the line to rid of them somehow? There is a meeting to take place tomorrow evening in the courtyard. We are looking for those who really want to rid of the True Nation and their help. I'm not quite exactly sure on what we're going to do, but at least we have some sort of formation at first. A reason to meet. I do hope you would be interested. We need all the brains we can to brainstorm," Alleta spoke. She was slightly hesitant with what she was saying because she was still unsure of what they could really do. Knowing her own skill it would take a great deal to prepare her for battle. Maybe there will be others willing to stand up in the battle aspect of things.

He listened to the proposition, A serious look came over his face, He looked around to make sure the others weren't listening, Then looked around the room again.

He got a little closer to where Alleta was sitting, And said,

Merin:"Careful where you say that, They haven't had time to do so yet, But they might start sending their people over here a teachers...... Or students.... And also wiring can be rigid, And used to power hidden microphones/cameras."

He seemed overly paranoid, But seemed to be sure of himself also...,

Merin:"In response...... If you have need for a technician, Or programmer I can help you. But overall my powers are useless at a range, If it does come to combat. if im not clear, Yes ill meet you, And whoever else at the courtyard..."

Merin didn't know how any one could stop the Government from persecuting metas, But he knew that "The Nation" Stood in between anything he could do at the moment...

His words of caution had been already running through her mind. Yes, there might have been things rigged or someone watching closely to the students, but from what she heard they needed to not worry. The army was to come tomorrow and the New Eden people would be here to stop them with their might. It was short notice that she figured there wouldn't need to be any worry, but the other students hearing what she had to say. Of which they were without hearing distance where they were sitting.

"Well, I'm very glad to hear that you would like to join. It is good to hear that others are as well against using the Nation as a crutch. All of us have to put a hold on our goals because of them and it must be stopped," she shifted in her seat petting Fen. The kitten was snoozing until it was time to leave the dorm lobby. It was hard to know exactly what she was doing, but inside it felt right. It deeply felt right to take some action here, "Well, I'm going to be off for now. I must prepare on what we'll be discussing. I do hope to see your face tomorrow at the courtyard memorial in the evening. Take care and caution my friend. There will be a time when this will be over." The girl waved as she stood up and proceeded to walk away. She stop in her tracks before continuing back to her room to warn the boy, "Oh, do be careful if you find others who'd like to join the cause. And when you arrive tomorrow, just look for something amiss in the summer." The girl turned without any other disruptions and disappeared on the stairwell.
