A lone figure stood in the elevator, tapping the bottom of the box he was holding with his fingers. The lone figure was a new student, moving into his new dorm. He waited patiently until the elevator reached the student's desired location. Said studet, Craig Pierre, stepped out, whistling a tune to himself as he did so. He looked left and right, trying to remember where his dorm was. Finally he, hung a right, following the numbers until he reached his dorm.
"Room 503..." he muttered out as he balanced the box on his left forearm. He then reached into his right pocket with his free hand and pulled out his keys. He singled out the dorm key he was given before putting it inside of the lock and twisting it. He opened the door before entering, taking the key out of the lock. He took a right into the hallway and walked into his room. He then walked over to his bed and laid the box on it, along with his other boxes. He glanced over his shoulder to see the other bed, apparently claimed by someone else.
"I wonder who else lives here," Craig said, adjusting his sunglasses.

As he traversed the hallway back to his room, Kyle let out a long yawn. He'd been up since early morning doing school work and various other tasks with very little sleep. Now, he was heading back to his room in order to get some much deserved rest. As he came upon the hallway leading to his dorm, he noticed the door was already open. Slowing for a minute, he carefully approached his room and glanced inside.
Someone he'd never seem before was claiming the other bed in the room. He waited a few more moments before approaching, knocking on the door and folding his arms as he entered. "I wasn't aware I was getting a roommate. I'm assuming that's the reason your putting a bunch of stuff on the bed there."

Craig turned his head towards the door to see a black and red haired boy standing at the door way. The boy seemed to be Craig's age, if not a little younger.
"I wasn't aware I was getting a roommate. I'm assuming that's the reason your putting a bunch of stuff on the bed there."
So he's my roommate, Craig thought. He then smiled at the other boy.
"Actually, that's the reason why I'm here." He turned his whole body to the newcomer. "I'm Craig Pierre. I'm a new student here."

"Hoh, well, I'll have to make sure they give me a memo beforehand next time. Then at least I can make the room look somewhat hospitable ahead of time." Moving into the room, Kyle gave the boy a look over as he approached. He looked like he was a maybe a year or two older than himself, his pure black hair similar to his, minus the red streaks. He was taller than Kyle, not by much however. And his eyes were hidden by a pair of yellow sunglasses, which shined in the sun that was drifting through the window.
"Guess that makes two of us. I haven't been here very long either, early this term actually. Name's Kyle Caine and its a nice to meet you. So tell me, how much do you use holo-comps?" Kyle said, indicating the device at Craig's waist.

"Likewise, Kyle," Craig said in friendly tone.
"So tell me, how much do you use holo-comps?"
Craig chuckled slightly as he began to removed his sunglasses, revealing his eyes. "To tell the truth, I just got my Holo-Comp about five days ago and got the hang of it two days ago." He took his holo-comp off of his belt. "My parents got me this because of they heard that you might as well not even join this school without one. However, I also heard that it's used for these battles take place. So I brought a few programs to get ready for them, ya know?"

"Ah, so your new to the devices. That's pretty interesting. And yea, everyone in the school has one, its almost like a requirement. The one I got I've had since I was pretty young, so I know a thing or two about them." Kyle pointed to the device attached to his right arm, which sat just below his shoulder.
"As for battles, that parts extremely true. A lot of people here use them to battle in their spare time, myself included. And the programs you can use are endless, to a degree. Here show me what you've got, maybe I can tweak them a little."

Craig nodded as he pulled a stylus out of his holocomp. He then tapped the screen with it a few times.
"Starting with my weapon programs, I have my riot suit." As he said this, his body started to flash before his whole attire has changed. He was wearing a black T-shirt underneath a black flak vest. His black pants were tucked into a pair of black boots. "It's a little more sturdier than my actual clothes." He then tapped at the screen some more before a holster appeared on his person. "This is my ranged weapon. A simple laser pistol." All of his gear disappeared before a simple katana appeared, sheathed on his back. "And a simple katana, for close quarters." The gear disappeared once more.
"As for my abilities, I only have two. Telekinesis, and Eletricity Manipulation."

"That't not bad. Considering your a newbie to this, I expected less." Tapping his holo-comp, a thumbnail type list appeared in front of them. "I have more than your average person, but only because I like to experiment with each area and use various models of the same weapon. As for abilities, I tend to stick to one of two - super speed or enhanced reflexes. Been working on super strength too, but that's just not as fun."
A folder listed as *Unknown* started to appear on the screen and it was at that moment that Kyle choose to switch off the comp. No need for Craig too see his most guarded secret. "So, what else do you find fun to do?"

Craig smiled. He noticed the "Unknown" screen, but didn't say anything. He figured it was a trump card that Kyle kept hidden until it was really needed. "That's quite an arsenal you got there, my friend."
"So, what else do you find fun to do?"
"I'm a member of the football club!" Craig said with a smile. He then paused for a second. "American football that is. Not that soccer isn't fun. Beyond that, I train, listen to music, hang with my friends and hit up the comedy clubs. I always love to hear a good joke. That way I can steal it for myself." He winked at Kyle, signifying that he was joking.
"So how about yourself, my man? What do you do for fun?"

"Not much. I tend to either train, play various sports or work on that arsenal I have. I'm working on becoming a member of the Regulators, if only to be able to use my holo-comp stuff for cop things. Besides, I think it would make things interesting at the very least."
Grinning, Kyle put his arms behind his head and moved to flop on his bed. "If your new, I could show you around a little. I don't know where everything is, but I know the major places."

"Interesting..." Craig said. "So you're interested in the law enforcement side of things. Nice!"
"If your new, I could show you around a little. I don't know where everything is, but I know the major places."
Craig chuckled at that one. "I could definitely use it. This is a whole lot different from Florida, ya know?" His stomach then started to rumble. He looked down at it before clicking his tongue in slight embarassment. He hadn't touched a piece of food since he started moving his stuff in. He sighed. "And maybe we can stop for a bite to eat. On me."

A low growl emanated from Kyle's stomach, making him blush a little. "Well, whadda you know, guess I'm hungry too. But don't worry about paying, I'll take care of myself." Getting back to his feet, Kyle stretched his arms and moved over to the mini fridge he had in the room. Pulling out a Pepsi, Kyle drank it quickly, then moved to the door.
"Sorry, running low on sleep. That should keep my up for a while longer. Let's go before we lose the light."

He nodded at Kyle as he moved towards the door and placed his holo-comp on his waist. He opened it as he removed the keys from the pocket and held it open for Kyle. Once the doorway was cleared, he closed the door behind them and inserted the key into the lock. He turned it before righting it and pulling it out. He then twisted the knob, finding it was lock.
"So," Craig said, putting on his sunglasses. "Where to?"

"Well, I should probably show you where the library and food court are. I can also show you the holo arena that the school uses for tournaments. Heck, we might even get a chance to use it to test out your programs so you get a feel for them."
Kyle yawned and rubbed his eyes, shaking his head to rid himself of the last shred of restlessness he felt. This day was going to get even longer but at least it wasn't going to be a boring rest of the day. And before he could even think about playing, there were other things that required attention and the first one was food.

"That would be nice," Craig said as he walked alongside of Kyle. "Last thing I want is to get shown up in a real battle." He thought about what it would be like. He never really used his Holo-Comp inside of a real battle before. Heck, for all intents and purposes, it might as well have been an iPod since he usually used it to listen to music.
"What's it like? Battling that is. I never been in one before."
