JAYDEN

The room had been quiet for hours... not that Jayden minded at all. In fact, he found quite a bit of solace at being able to just lay down on his rock hard mattress and stare at the ceiling. His Absol had wandered off down the corridors to Arceus knew where, and so Jay was for once,truly alone with his thoughts.

Of course, to be left alone with a mind like his probably wasn't any good for him. The young man found himself thinking about the previous night's events. A groan escaped his lips at the thought of his drunkard father stumbling around on his guard shifts. A former war general famous for his accomplishments on the battlefield, now reduced to a fat old guy destroying his liver one drink at a time. Jay's face contorted into a look of disgust at the thought, and he barely muttered, "What a disgusting idiot Zane is. He doesn't even deserve to be called our father."

Of course, to him, everyone was an idiot, including the only other kin he had on this blasted ship: his sister, Kiba Darkhart. A frilly, little, delicate thing she was, easily battered around by the wills of others simply so she could please them and have them think highly of her. All she had to do was stand there and look pretty, or at least that was what Jay thought that was all she needed to do. Did she also have to torture everyone with her obnoxious voice? He growled lowly, shaking his head once to rid himself of any more thoughts about his pathetic family.

"Just let your mind go blank," he grumbled, turning over to his side. The door was in plain sight, left a crack open in case his stupid Absol wanted to come back here, though he had his doubts that the Disaster Pokemon would be showing up any time soon. A stray thought entered his head: wouldn't is roommates be getting here soon? He hadn't met them yet, nor was he looking forward to it... he just hoped he'd be able to stand them enough to not have to spend his nights sleeping in the bathtubs for another term.

The soft pattering sound of footsteps reached his ears a moment later. So, Absol was coming back? It only took a few seconds to confirm that it was indeed his Pokemon... though this brought a strand of wariness to the Darkhart: Absol only appeared if something chaotic was about to happen.

I better brace myself for whatever comes next...

He had only been given a paper with a few minor details about his roommates and the dorm number and a key, nothing more. At least it was a start. Now, the next step was to go find Zero and his stuff so he could settle into the dorm. Granted, he probably should've dropped his stuff off at his dorm before heading off to work, but as usual, Kaiden had no time to do so.. Instead, he gave his things to his pokemon partner, asking her to hide it until he got off, which he knew she was more than capable of doing, pulling an illusion over it. Now... where to find her? Checking the first place he had thought of, he had found her exactly where he had left her - in the training rooms. She seemed a bit ruffled as he approached her, leading him to assume that she had probably found herself a battle or two. Good, it made him happy she was able to find a good round or two, she certainly needed it - so full of energy all the time. It was good for the dark-type... especially since it kept her from playing with him and his poor Gilbird all the time. ... speaking of Gilbird... "Hey Zero." He greeted the pokemon as she lifted her head to grin at him. What a nice welcome back. "It's time to go find home, ya ready?" Nodding, the Zoroark stood and bounded over to a corner, motioning for him to come closer, which he did as her eyes flashed, removing the illusion that concealed his belongings. Of course, Kaiden's first concern was the little baby chick in the small cage, "Oh Gilbird, I missed you so much!" He crooned to the chicklet as he cuddled the cage close, Zero gathering his other things. Picking up a heavy backpack, Kaiden threw it on his shoulders and moved toward where the dorms were, stopping now and then for directions. Once in the corridors of the dorms, Kai looked around blankly, looking from the left then to the right then back again. "....." Shifting a bit, he slid the piece of paper from his pocket then looked back to the left, pointing "Male dorms are this way." Turning down the left hall, he sighed, keeping his eyes peeled for dorm 300. Something that one wouldn't think would be too hard to find... but with everything looking the same... and it being his first time... "A map would be ni-..." His words were cut off as another pokemon walked in across the hall before them, leaving Kai's mind racing. Wait... didn't the paper say that one of my roomies would have an Absol...? Checking the paper once more, his heart soared as he read the exact detail. Problem solved! He would just follow this pokemon back to the dorm! BRILLIANT! God I'm so Awesome... Following the pokemon indeed did it's charm, leading him right to room 300. Along the way, Kaiden did his best to try and remember the location for next time. Sliding in through the door moments after the Absol, he took a look around the rather... bland... room. "... this place is going to have to be awesomed up... good thing I'm here~ <3" He hummed, moving further into the room to the empty bed, setting his things down, placing Gilbird on the bedside stand. Zero, moving in behind him, set down the things she carried before her ears twitched, her head turning to face the boy and his pokemon, her face emotionless - she wasn't sure what to make of these two, but somehow, she didn't have a good feeling. "Hey Zero, can you hand me my.... Zero?" Kai inquired, turning to face the pokemon as she stared off to the other side of the room. Narrowing his eyes, he too looked in that direction to find the boy and his Absol. Well... there's one of two. Raising a hand, he waved a bit to the boy, "Hey... I guess you're one of my roomies, hm?" He blinked, staring at the boy who... didn't seem like he was going to be all that friendly...

JAYDEN

Who the fuck is this dumbass? was all Jayden could think as he witnessed the pair come in. Of course, wasn't it just his luck that he'd score a roommate who had a superiority complex? Jay's nose wrinkled in disgust as Kaiden went on about how he was awesome and this room was bland. Well duh the room was bland... there was nothing in it but three beds, a desk, and white plaster walls!

He stayed quiet though, glancing at his Absol once with a blank stare. Sometimes, he wondered if his Pokemon lead disasters like Kaiden to him simply because he didn't give a fuck about the Pokemon he owned. Absol returned the blank stare, even going as far as to yawn in his face. Jay felt a pang of irritation at that, and with a snap of his fingers, he pointed to a spot on the rug and ordered, "Spot!"

Absol quickly got to his feet, calmly walking to the area Jay had gestured to and settled down there, putting one clawed paw over his eyes and seemingly falling asleep in an instant. Jayden felt satisfied at seeing how obedient his Pokemon was regardless of the fact that he felt no deeper feelings towards it. An almost invisible smirk wound its way onto Jay's face, but it quickly vanished when he was finally noticed....

"Hey... I guess you're one of my roomies, hm?" he asked. Jay scowled. Everything about this Kaiden guy was irking him, from the way he carried himself to the tones of his stupid, whiny, happy-go-lucky voice.

"No, I'm just laying down on a bed here randomly," he spat. "The hell are you anyway? Some circus act?"
