Kamon entered his room and slammed the play button on his CD player. 5 CDs, all set on shuffle began to play. He lay on his bed as a mixture of German Industrial, Emo-Metal, Japanese pop-rock, random songs he downloaded, and funk-rock washed over him. His mood changed automatically with each song. Kamon lay sitting there and couldn't help but wonder who his roommate was. He had never seen him before, and wondered why not. Kamon had actually only spent a little time in his room to listen to music. For the few days, almost a week he had been in Cassis, he had actually slept in the forest or in a cave while adventuring. He had never slept in the bed. He figured it would be too much of a shock for his body, and possibly a little unhealthy. Kamon figured there was no better way for him to meet his roommate than to listen to music while staying in his room.

Jason reached for the door handle to the dorm room. He was sure he had locked the door..He shook his head. His roommate must have made his appearance. Jasons other hand hovered above the headphones that were practically surgically attached to his ears, but decided against taking them both out. In one practiced movement, he jerked one headphone out and swiftly hooked it to the collar of his shirt. Today was his Disturbed day. Sometimes he listened to rap, others he listened to classic rock, but he always listened to the band that graced the front of his shirt. Today, his shirt consisted of the shirt for the Disturbed, Down With The Sickness front cover. And of course, that is the cd he was listening to. He swung the door open, and sure enough there was his roommate..and he was listening to his cd player! Thank God for another music lover! He silently exalted the people that had roomed him with this guy. "What are you listening to?" He asked, but at the same time tapped his own headphone, still plugged into his ear, and then pointed to the other guys headsets. He figured that if this guy listened to music as loudly as Jason did, he wouldnt be able to hear the question. He smiled and looked around his side of the room. It was graced with posters from his favorite bands. It ranged from Def Leppard to KoRn, to AC/DC to ICP and Twiztid. He wondered what the wall looked like under his posters, for they covered every inch of his side of the room. His stack of cd's was on the table next to his bed. His bed itself was covered with red silk sheets and a black down comforter. He smiled at the guy and took his other head set out of his ear and placed it next to the one already in his collar. He motioned for the other guy to do the same if he wished. He sat down heavily on his soft bed. "Name's Jason! Whats yours roomie?"

Kamon sat up as soon as the door was opened. "Hey!" he said over the deafening Three Days Grace. "I'm listening to this, Rammstein, Red Hot Chili Peppers, MC Hammer, Caramell, Some Naruto Openings, Lemon Demon, Bob Ricci, Weird Al, Studged, C&C Music Factory...at the moment," he continued, listing them off his fingers. "They're on shuffle. Many Mix CDs," he said, indicating his player. "Made them a while back, when I got the opportunity. My name's Kamon."

Jasons jaw almost dropped and he grinned madly. "Really? I love Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rob Zombie and Three Days Grace. " He pointed to the cd player indicating that he was playing it so loudly, that Jason could hear the words to the songs. His lips started moving as he started to silently sing the song playing on Kamon's cd player. "Wow..just wow.. The other ones I havent heard of but I would like to if you dont mind. And if you want to borrow any of my cds I have plenty to spare. I have a habit of only listening to one cd a day. Its the one on my shirt, so its really easy to tell what band I am or going to be listening to. I've always done it, I dont know why." He shrugged and pointed to the mass of cd's next to his bed. If it is anything rock, heavy , classic...I will probably have it, even if I dont realize it!" He chuckled. "Nice to meet you Kamon. Any thing else you do other than listen to music? Like..whats your power?" He asked wanting to know more about his roommate.

Kamon nodded. He clapped his hands together, and slowly pulled them apart. As he did, the electricity he had charged between them made constant electric bolts between them, as well as random and temporary sparks. It was kind of like when you had a tiny bit of glue in your thumb and index finger, and you put them together and spread them apart. "The songs are just on one mix CD. I've only got one song by MC Hammer, C&C Music Factory, etc. I've got many RHCP songs, as well as Rammstein and Three Days Grace on this one. I would like to borrow your CDs," he said. He wanted to re-immerse himself in culture, so music would be a good first step. Just like the counselor said.

Jason smiled even wider. "Well..do you even have to have batteries for your cd players?" He asked chuckling. "You can take as many as you want, as long as I get them back of course!" He said lightheartedly. "Your power is wicked..Mine.." He shrugged. A cat took the place of Jason on the bed, followed by a bird of an unrecognizable species, then a small dragon. It puffed out a jet of stream out of its nose, then was replaced by Jason once more. His music still playing, yet on a different song. "I can change into any animal..real or mythilogical..as long as it isnt too big..or too complex of course." He said with a smile. He loved his powers..it was the only thing he loved more than his music. He was still of course a little envious of Kamon's power. "Never have to buy batteries..." He muttered with a laugh. He laid back heavily on his bed. He stared at the ceiling with interest. "Any thing fun to do around here? Or are we stuck with only music to occupy us?" He asked giving Kamon a questioning look.

"Music and sleep is all I really do here. I never really slept here before...I've been in the forest most of the time. And my CD player doesn't need batteries as long as I'm holding it, or it's near me and I'm conscious of my effort. Does take a little out of me." Kamon stretched. "Thanks." He walked over to the pile of Jason's CDs. "That's a really cool power. But I've gotten too used to mine, I wouldn't give it up for the world."

Jason thought about it for a moment, chewing thoughtfully on his lip. "No.." He decided. " No, I couldnt get rid of mine either." He said reminiscing on times that he had spent with Michella. If he didnt have the power that he did..would they be together right now? He knew it was his power that had convinced her to talk to him. He shook his head and decided not to think about it any more. He took out his cd player and switched it off. " Im going to go take a shower, man..Its been a long day." He unhooked his headphones from his collar and set the cd player on the table next to the cds that Kamon was now sifting through. "Help yourself." He said waving a hand in the general direction of the cds. He slipped his shirt off and threw it in a clothes bin that he had sitting on the floor at the end of his bed. He lumbered off to his dresser and withdrew a pair of pajama bottoms. He didnt bother with a shirt, he wouldnt wear one to bed. He also didnt worry about a towel, that would be provided for him in the bathrooms. And for some strange reason all he could think about while doing all of this..was where Michella had gone off to.. He shook his head and smiled, then headed for the shower.

"Mmkay." said Kamon. He sorted through the piles, filing past the ones with cars, jewlery, and people in baggy clothes with metal teeth on the covers, or the ones with half-naked women while studying interesting ones, placing them aside. Soon he processed this without thinking. His mind switched to just meeting his new roommate. Interesting person. Kamon could tell he was thinking about an object of his affection by the faraway and happy look he had on. Kamon might ask him about it when he got out of the shower. Kamon smiled broadly thinking of the object of his own affection. Without my power, She probably wouldn't have noticed me as much. Since we have the same power, it was probably very helpful. Would'nt give it up for the world. Kamon's head unintentionally nodded along with the heavy metal playing in his ears. He started singing along to the german lyrics. "...Was macht ein mann...Was macht ein mann...der zwischen Mensch und Tier...nicht untersheiden kann..."

Jason walked back into the room, refreshed from his shower, looking, smelling, and feeling clean. He grinned as he towel-dried his hair. He had on a pair of baggy honey gold pants that matched his eyes. His mother had gotten them for him years ago and he had yet to grow tired of them. They were soft and comfortable and fit him well. He threw the damp towel in the basket, on top of the shirt that he had taken off before his shower.
" What dries as it gets wet?" He said sarcastically as he smiled and pointed to the towel." A towel.. " He chuckled. "Sorry, stupid joke, but I am in a particularly good mood today.." He said with a smile as he jumped up into the air, twisted around and landed on his back on the bed. He grinned at Kamon. "You got a girlfriend?"

"I dunno, I guess you could say that." said Kamon. He picked up the towel. "It'll never dry like that. Sorry for interfering." Kamon hung it on a hook outside the bathroom door. "I guess I'm a neat freak. For a teenage guy, that is." Kamon stretched. "Have you got a girlfriend?" he asked. It had come up, and Kamon was curious. Sometimes things work out. Kamon keenly listened as he got down on the floor, almost in sit-up position, but with his arms propping him up. Only is Jason tried a little to delve into Kamon and Oshaya would Kamon tell Jason anything.

Jason smiled wistfully. "That I do..Her name is Michella..She is the sweetest girl.." He leaned over on his side and propped himself up on his elbow. His hand burrowed into his still damp hair. He shrugged. "Put it up if you like, who am I to complain..but next time I will put it up by myself." He said resolutely. He looked down to Kamon. "What do you mean 'I guess you can say that'?" He asked in honest and sincere curiousity. That wasnt something he understood when it came to relationships. He had always thought that you were or you werent..but maybe he was wrong. "What brings you two together? What do you have in common that would make you say that?" He asked with questioning eyes.

"I dunno, it's not...like...official." said Kamon, lying down on the ground. Damn, that sounded stupid...I know! Is there like, a list that the CIA owns that says everyone who's not single or what? Ha ha... "But we like each other. And we danced. And nothing has changed between us." Kamon did a sit up, and then lay back down. He looked up at Jason and saw his inquisitive eyes. "Well, I like her. She's good looking, she's nice, sweet...altogether undescribable...she also shares my power, I suppose that helped. Finally, she likes me too. And that is extremely attractive." Kamon smiled and laughed. "In most cases."

Jason gave a throaty laugh. "Oh I dont think I could come close to describing Michella.." He said it in a low tone and let his arm that was holding him up fall. His head hit the pillow and bounced. "She is just perfect for me, that is all I can say. Our powers dont even come close to matching!" He said with a chuckle. He always seemed to be laughing or smiling when he thought of Michella. "So innocent...Not a bad bone in her body..She doesnt know how to be mean..But I wouldnt get on her bad side though!" He remembered what had happened when she had wanted Zefrum to pay for what he had done. Unfortunately he had to take it out on Jaden, who was unfortunate enough to be stuck in Zefrums head. He had broken the boys arm badly..But it was what Michella had asked, and he would do anything for Michella. " Why not make it official?"

"Because." said Kamon. He jumped up, flipped in the air, and did a body slam onto his bed, and sprung up and off. "Woah! Bouncier than I expected." Kamon breathed heavily. "I would ask her out. But I havent' yet. That's all there is to it." He threw off his casual shirt and lay on the bed. "Mmmmmm...this is awesome. It's been so long...it's so comfy...and warm...and...I might just fall asleep right now." Kamon yawned and stretched. The music still played for him, and he was lying on a bed for the first time in...man, years...This must be heaven. Kamon smiled.
