Looking at this fine establishment that is meant to educate todays youth in all things including social order I can't help but feel sick. Why in the world my step-father transplanted us to this lovely white picket fence city is beyond me. Honestly. It isn't that large and this section of town is more like a city from the fifties. I would expect for superman to come and fly circles around our heads at any moment if I didn't know any better. Scuffing the tips of my shoes on the ground I adjust my backpack strap and walk closer to the doors. There were no signs of life here except for the janitor who was currently on the other side of the campus. Quickly opening one of the doors and closing it swiftly I set to work. And not a soul would see me, of course not. It's 4 A.M. Tristen would be proud. If he had survived the plane flight..I swallowed that thought before anything could remind me that he was not here to share in the fun. Or to make me focus on the burning hole that was spreading the darkness from outside in.

With cords laid about between two rooms, Demi used his laptop to run diagnostics on some form of machine in the other room. He couldn't help but enjoy his hobbies with the equipment that government money provided for even if it was too early for God. He'd blindly push his chair back as the new student strolled through the halls. Demi would start his speedy glide from one room to another, not even suspecting that anyone other than security and the janitor could roam the halls, and they knew to stay away from his work space. The child's experiments where just that dangerous and who knew how he survived every one.

Hearing the sound of a chair rolling on the floor Gage looked up from his roaming. Checking the other doorways in the hall he quietly made his way to the noise. Wondering who in Jebbus's name would be here at this time, other than him of course.

Every so often, Demi would jump his chair from class to class. One room with his machine and the other with it's code. He was quick though. It was as if every time someone looked to the noise there would be nothing. Yet every so often you could see the tech slide between rooms. After some period of silence, Demi span back out of the room, sliding right in front of Gage and away, back into the second room.

A black cat walked down the hall and sat at the doorway as the boy slid from room to room watching him with bright yellow eyes, mowing softly as he sped past then eyes lifted to the new boy, a fresh scent...unclaimed either from what she could tell. Another mow, this time at the one standing in the hall instead of the one racing the Nerd 5000 through the halls on a spinny-rolly chair that the feline loved to wrestle from time to time

The clock struck 4:30am and Demi pushed away from the hunk of metal and span, speeding again in the hallway. Yet he caught glimpse of the cat and scooped it up, carrying it as he made rotations as he flew into the first room again to continue typing.

gage blinked as he saw the other boy roll pass. Looking into the room the boy had just vacated he saw computer parts. Ports and Servers littered the room. Blinked and stepping back, narrowly avoiding getting hit by the boy as he rolled past back into the room and picked up a cat. Peaking into the other room he aw...more computers and other technology that was calling to him. Stopping in the door way of the room the boy was in he stood there his low tenor breaking the silence. "Hello?"

It was one of the few occasions that Demi didn't have any headphones in. He immediately perked up and stared through impenetrable goggles at the student and blinked. His face was easily covered by the collar of his coat like it usually was and it hid his distaste for interruption. He let the cat go as he started to rise from his chair walking to the doorway. "What are you doing here? This is not the time nor the place for anyone to be... and what are you gawking at? Haven't you seen a fully functional 1/10,000 scale model of the Death Star before?"

Even the cat facepalmed a little at the comments from the nerdy one, She walked up to the one gawking and weaved between his calves a few times, mowing up at him for attention as if saying "Don't mind Demi..he's a nerd...pet me damnit..i'm a kitty!" then sat down between the two males, purring with eyes squeezed shut

Picking up the cat and scratching behind her ears. "Cute cat, and no I have never seen one. Though I have to admit that is the single coolest thing I have ever seen." Looking into the room and taking in everything he smiled. "Though you are off by .3 degrees on where that port is located. As for what I am doing here. I am scoping out this fine establishment that I am being forced to attend as of tomorrow morning."

The feline wiggled a little and mowed once again, shifting to sit on his shoulder and nuzzle his ear, purring

"So what inspired you to build a replica?" He reached up and patted the cat's head. "It seems like an awesome project."

"Only because it has a laser powerful enough to destroy entire planets." He'd grin behind the coat and start working on minor mistakes pointed out by the new student. "I do things like this for fun mainly. People think its best to stay away if I spout off rocket science and nuclear engineering."

"Why it's so fun! Does the laser actually work? " Gage smirked a little as he noticed the boy trying to fix his mistakes.

"Oh, of course. Just hold on." Demi would close it all up and turn the beast on as it lightly hovered above the table it rested on and the boy would roll his chair back to the computer room to boot everything up. He'd roll back into the room and physically started to turn the sphere towards his first audience as the laser started to charge and make a greenish glow in the center, showing that it would soon be ready.
