It had been a long morning for Evander, full of moving, unloading, more moving and navigating. The movers had finally gotten his things up to his new room at the academy, and, after a few minutes of worrying for the sake of his window garden he had so carefully packed up, finally let out a sigh of relief as the two movers set down the last large box and departed.

"That was almost a nightmare....." the gryphon thought as he placed a talon on a box. With a swift jerk, the tape holding the cardboard closed was removed and the contents revealed; it was his record collection! A small smile crept across his beak as he thumbed through the vinyl disks; none of them seemed damaged or scratched from the rough handling... at least not that his eyes could see. He moved to open another box, the larger one the movers had set down before leaving, and his smile got a little bigger as he eased the flaps open; his record player seemed to have survived as well. It was only logical in his mind, then, to put on a bit of music while he unpacked everything else.

It took a few minutes of unpacking, moving and rummaging through the boxes to find the horn, but eventually the gryphon got the old record player up and going in the corner next to the desk. After checking the needle was still good, he filed through his records again, a talon scratching under his chin as he clicked his beak in thought... "Hmm.... Battistini...? Cab Calloway...? Or maybe Harry James...." the gryphon mused to himself, before daintily pulling out a random record. Setting it on the turn-table and winding the old player up, he set the needle down and went about unpacking and arranging the rest of his things as music began blaring from the brass horn into the room and the hallway.

"It seems to me I've heard that song before
It's from an old familiar score
I know it well, that melody..."

Although arriving a month ago, those days seem like a duration of time since plotting and rearranging every inch of space and corners with his furnitures, self build preppy design desks and shelves, and engulf the sky blue with snow clouds colored walls with various of self taught painting of whatever is spotted throughout his time, such as cool and warm sandy beaches dancing along the shores or the walk way of multiple of sublime people roving the streets in the towering city.

With a humble smile shining on his narrow face, Erik leap upon his feet and scrutinized about the retro style room in its regal form, delighted in its final form. His red eyes light up, observing the decrepit but still serene old items that he kept sheltered from welcoming himself to garage sales or back to his former home where he used to lived with his now jail parents. The young corn snake took a step back through the memories of them still as a family; those old memories planted a tear within his eyes before he shake away the thought and focus on the present.

After he blanketed the entire room the pungent scent of mix berries, Erik march around the dorm, seeking out his collection of CD's of era of ardor music. Hands reach from unopened boxes to shelves, but still seeking. Again. And again. And again. "What the...." he whispered to himself, beaming his eyes throughout the same boxes over a million of times. "Where are they? They was supposed to be here?!" An uneasy qualm overflow his stomach and his brain dance with bilateral of emotions of confusion. Ah! Misplacing his work of arts again? Well, 'his' seem like a board statement, more like his step home's property and he was just borrowing from them for the time being. If anything, even just a tiny finger print, is noted on the old form of music, he know he'll be punishment to an degree; therefore, in a short pant, Erik started to flop around frantically when a slight echo of music slowly imbibe inside his nonexist ears. He recognized the melody as Harry James music "I've Heard That Song Before" with the lovely Helen Forest; someone has get taste in music! And it's the same type of music he was looking for!

The snake's temper buried as he stroll from his recent problem and take a simple step outside of the room and faintly smile of the lyrics. It wasn't long for the teen to follow the music inside someone else room and took a quick sight of a massive bird-like creature inhabit the room, probably the owner or someone's pet; either way, it was big! Before he even step foot inside, without being rude of any of the sort, Erik took a soft knock on the door to aid its attention towards him. "Excuse me..." he begin, but couldn't finish what remains.
