"And here it is!" announced Nyota as she unlocked the door and swung it open for the two of them to enter. It as a spacious dorm as it was meant for 4 people.


Thankfully, even since her roommates Castiel and Kelf arrived, Nyota has made sure to clean up her corner of the room. It wasn't spotless as evident by a blanket bring thrown about and there was a set of her PJ's on the floor but hey, at least there wasn't potato chips crumbs in her bed this time. If Kris looked over to where she sleep, they would see all sorts of nerdy Star Trek memorabilia lining the shelves and a couple of Star Trek posters decorating the wall just behind her bed. They might also see on the desk next to her bed a desk with papers all laid out. There is a photograph in frame sitting on the corner of the desk. Should Kris take a look there appears to be a picture of two older women, one who looked Asian and one who looked Middle-Eastern, hugging a younger girl who looked very much like Nyota. Of course the obvious difference was that unlike Nyota, this girl looked a few years younger and had deep brown eyes. There is also what looks like an easel all folded up along the cabinet near Nyota's bed. A blank canvas rests near the easel.

"So what you think? Not too shabby right? Used to have it all to myself until I got with roommates. But they cool so I don't really mind." babbled Nyota as she walks inside the dorm, standing by where the central couch was.

"Well hot DAMN!" Kris exclaimed as he walked into the dorm room, clapping his hands together. "This is one huge-ass area. Probably bigger than the fucking apartment I grew up in in New York."

He walked further in, glancing around as he brought his arms on up to streeetch out a little. "I mean WOW you are lucky. I'm in some temporary dorm by myself while they try to find some reasonable adult to take care of me, apparently. Something about me killing the last one probably." He continued to speak, however muttering the last part of his words as he glanced towards her area. He was nosy. Super nosy. He sauntered on over like he owned the place and was looking at everything he could. His eyes lingered on the picture for a few moments before he turned around, nodding a few times.

"It's a dope-ass place. Would probably be more dope-ass if it was just yours, but dope-ass all the same, ya know? But at least they're cool. Hearing about cool people makes me kinda miss my crew, I guess. They were alright." he speaks as he casually goes to plop right onto her bed, arms resting behind his head.

(Awesome floor plan! Also I have a rough sketch of this girly boy now! LOOKIE!)

"Hee, guess I am. Didn't come with a TV but... fuck that. Everything is on the internet now anyway. And do they really need someone to watch over you like as if your a big baby? Sheesh... how how old are you? 14? 15? You look about my age. Whatever, your old enough to be able to look after yourself now right? Seems kinda dumb to me."

Nyota didn't quite catch what Kris muttered but didn't think it was too important.

"Yeah this pretty dope... its got all of the baiscs aside from a washer and dryer." stated Nyota as she nodded her head in agreement as she looked around her dorm.

It sounded like Nyota got off kinda lucky to have dorm of this size. Practically its own house. If knew people she could totally host a party here... if she was ever into that sort thing. But hey, she had Kris, that was a party enough for now.

"Huh... you had crew growing up? How was that? I was mostly left to fend for myself back in my school back in Nebraska." inquired Nyota as she leaned against the backside of the couch, looking over to Kris as the laid out on her bed.

((Oh! Nice picture! The girly boy is coming along quite nicely :D ))

He scratched at his ear some, huffing out, "Well if ya ain't got a TV, how are you gonna play games, girl?" he asked, throwing his arms up for a moment. He ultimately went to shrug. "Eh all the same. I'd say you should steal yourself one but this island is really too small to pull off jobs like that, I guess."

He stretched lightly before crossing his legs. He was wearing a skirt, after all. Would be classy not to flash anyone. He continued to glance around, his eyes falling on the star trek stuff. He thought about making a nerd comment towards Nyota. But people had their own hobbies and what they liked. Besides, she was cool enough to not mercilessly tease.

"Crew? Yeah. We were kinda tight. After I ditched school I joined up with them. Simple stuff. Get kids to give you money for protection an' junk. Shoplift shit from stores. Simple. I think one of 'em is in juvie still. Not a fun place. Half of us got landed in there when we tried to rob a place.." the boy muttered out as he went to pick at his teeth for a few seconds.

He eventually just shrugged again. "They were pretty stupid, though. Too greedy fer their own good, too. They were the kind I was rollin' with just 'cause I was bored. Not really cool, like you seem to be, ya know?"

"Ehh... on my laptop I suppose." stated Nyota with shrug.

Not having a TV wasn't a big deal. He had always played her games on her computer. Of course now that she had one hand, her selection of games has become rather limited as many video games out there require the use of both of your hands to play.

Nyota then sat on the back end of the couch, rolling her shoulder as she listened to Kris take a bit about their crew before they arrived to Starlight. Nyota never had any real friends growing up, as she listened to Kris talk about their troubles that their crew got into made it sound like she was missing out. The most she ever did was coerce kids out of lunch money and maybe vandalized something when no one was looking. Kris and their gang... they were way more hardcore than she ever ways. Of course, it sounded like Kris came from a much rougher environment that where she hailed from.

"Juvie eh? Rough place. They had me stuck on the Juvie Island here for... I dunno... over a year. Glad to be out of that place."

Nyota was surprised that Kris legitimately thought that she was cool but it was quite flattering. Afterall, what wasn't cool about having the power to create her own little sun and burn the faces off anyone who might want to mess with her?

"Heh... thanks for the compliment. Its nice to hear someone recognize how awesome I am so... thanks. Your pretty cool as well Kris. I mean... demanding money and stealing whatever you wanted... sounded like real badass material. I mean... you had a whole gang you with you to get in trouble with. Me... I was just a solo act." spoke up Nyota as she pointed to herself with her thumb, before setting her hand a back onto the top of the couch.

"Anyway... sounded like the gig was finally up. Was that when they sent you Starlight Academy?" asked Nyota as she tried to put the pieces together.

Right. Laptops. Kris had been given one. And a god damn actual smart phone. Just for being a student here. So it wasn't all bad being here, he guessed. Especially since he was also getting free money. He just sighed out, thinking back to New York. Being stuck in a crummy small apartment with his dad. Now he was just stuck in a decent dorm room by himself.

He stretched out lightly before moving to sit up, crossing his legs. "Damn? A full year, girl? The fuck did you do? Blow up a room or something?" he asked as he went to glance around the room again. Still, as he got some praise he began to blush a little bit. "Well I don't work good alone myself. It's good to have people. People for alibis. People for help. Ya know. Can't just do EVERYTHING yourself."

He started chuckling out before he was asked that question. Kris sighed, plopping back onto the bed. "Kinda. Half the gang was in jail-jail. A couple of 'em decided to try robbing without the rest of us. There was a murder. They got thrown into the big boy jail. Others skipped out of the city. Me? Well I kinda.. Accidentally killed my dad."

He formed a fist with his right hand, "It's how I discovered Quasar for the.. First real time, kinda. I mean I've seen her. Wasn't sure she was real. But then she just went.." he paused a few moments before thrusting that fist up into the air, "BAM! She literally punched a hole bigger than a basket ball through his chest. Was pretty gross. A scout found me and I was faced with either jail or coming to school. You can guess which I ultimately chose, ya know. Considerin' I'm here."

He sighed again, bringing the arms back behind his head. "S'nothin' though. Dad was scum." he concluded that long story. "Enough about me. You know you.. You don't exactly gotta be solo now, ya follow?"

"Ha ha haa ha... errr... more like... several counts of arson and couple dozen cases of 2nd and 3rd degree burns." laughed Nyota who appeared somewhat embarrassed.

Nyota then recomposed herself and listened to Kris talk about their backstory. It began with half Kris' crew going to jail over a murder and ended with Kris killing their dad, discovering Quasar, and choosing between jail and here. FUCK! That was more trainwreck than that "Shades of Grey" episode from The Next Generation.

"Shit dude! Fuck... well this at least beats jail. And it sounded like your dad had it coming. Still... fucking rough."

Nyota then sighed as she shuffled her bottom off from the backside of the couch to the right armrest.

"Yeah, I guess. Still getting used to the idea of making friends after pushing almost everyone away from me. But hey... I got James... and I guess I got you now too Kris." commented Nyota as she gave Kris a genuine smile.

He shrugged, "What ya try showing off and you ended up burning a whole room of people or somethin'? Ain't so bad. At least none of them are dead." Kris went quiet for a few moments shrugging again. "Eh. Yeah." is all he had to ultimately say to her reply of his tale of woe.

He swung his legs around and promptly stood up from the bed. Of course getting up that fast made him a bit dizzy. He wobbled a bit as he walked over towards her. "Well get used to it because I had a primo idea. The kind of idea that sounds like it'll be awesome but might eventually become a train wreck."

Well.. That didn't sound TOO good. But he was facing towards the glass door, standing up straight, arms behind his back as he sighed. He suddenly turned to face Nyota! One hand pointing two fingers at his temple, "Me." his other hand shot up, pointing towards her, "You."

"We make. A gang."

Was a bold idea. And potentially scary considering the stories Kris had told. Still, he went to stretch again before adopting his relaxed posture once more, "I mean.. Obviously we can't do what my old crew did. You guys probably have some bullshit magic police with magic anti-crime fairy dust that will give us away instantly or some shit on this island. But we could start out small and have fun moving up. We just need to find a few others who are cool."

"Oh? Alright, lets hear you grandiose idea of yours." asked Nyota as she raised an eyebrow to Kris.

Nyota takes a moment to process the Kris' proposal. Make their own gang? Sounded like it would lead to a lot of trouble... sounds like it would be HER kinda trouble though. It would just the two of them for now but... surely there where other kids their age that they could recruit into their little gang of theirs. The more she thought it over, the more she liked it.

"Hee... a gang... you know what, I'm game. You seem like my sort of trouble." mused Nyota as she slumps herself onto the couch proper.

"I mean yeah... we start of small, find a of couple of like minded individuals... and have fun with it from there."

Kris patiently waited for her response. She was cool. The first cool person she's ever met here! So he would have loved to have her in a crew. Of course, when she agreed, he briefly lost his composure, smiling like a dork, "Fucking awesome!" he cheered out before pausing.

He cleared his throat. "Well. Now that we've both agreed. What we gotta do now is think of a totally fucking cool name. And a color. A color of something we and our peeps can wear so we know who's cool and who's not, ya know? Maybe think of some kind of initiation to make sure the cool people can handle the stuff, ya know?"

Kris sighed for a few moments before turning around to look outside, "And I was worried everyone in this place would be sucky and preppy and shiiit. Glad I could find a pal like you, Nyota."

He continued to think, "And we'll need to scout out a hide-out. Dorms can have some.. Prying eyes sometimes. So we'll need a hidden place we can bug out to."
