Changing the future {OPEN}
As Mizo lay on his bed he stared up at the ceiling with his right hand across his forehead. He held his arm up and look at it as he clenched and released a fist a few times.
He'd had the cast on his arm removed just over a week ago, it still felt a little stiff but at least it was free from the cast. He'd seen the doctor today and he'd been told his arm was strong enough he could switch to crutches. After he'd returned and finished up what was left of the afternoon classes he came back here to his room to study, he was determined to make up for what he'd missed as best he could. After quite the intense study session Mizo decided to lay down on his bed to rest for a moment. That was when he had started to stare at him arm. His mind wandered to his other injuries, namely his eye. He had tried to work on his models, but to no avail. His lack of depth perception made getting the smaller parts right too difficult. As of this moment all of his model stuff, built, un-built, and mid-project models, model cement, cutters, paints, glue, files, brushes, all of it was boxed up and just awaiting it's fate, what ever that may be. His lack of ability to construct his models had caused him to throw himself into his other two pass times, reading & studying. He was so lost in thought that he almost hadn't noticed the knocking at his door.

Toshiaki stood outside the room, double-checking that he had the right number.
"Takameshi? You in there?"
"Takameshi? You in there?"
Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
Mizo realized upon hearing Endō's voice at his door that he had a visitor. He sat him self up right on the edge of the bed and responded
"Come on in Endō, sorry I didn't hear you knock."
"Come on in Endō, sorry I didn't hear you knock."

Toshi opened the door and entered, closing the door behind him.
"Hey man, how's it going? Been a few days since I saw you around. Never did get the chance to finish talking to you on Monday."
He looked around Mizo's room, noting the box of models and supplies by the desk.
"You talked to Hawke lately? Think he's planning some kind of party tomorrow night. Said something about someone's birthday."

Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
"Yeah, I've been trying to play catch up. Being in the hospital twice in one school year really puts the twist on a persons grades." he replied, then following that with
"I've been reading more too." as he gestured with his thumb towards the pile of books on his night stand that he was in the process of reading.

Twice? Jeez, what was the first time?
"Yeah, I know the feeling."
Did I just…
"I mean, I figured you'd be busy. Been busy with classes and everything myself too."
"Mind if I sit down?" he asked, gesturing towards a chair.

"Not at all, be my guest" Mizo said as he motioned to the chair at his desk.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" He asked.

Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
Toshi seated himself at the desk, turning the chair to face Mizo.
"Well… to be honest, there's kinda been some unpleasant stuff weighing on my mind."
He pulled a copy of that Monday's newspaper from his jacket's inside pocket. It was folded so that the news of Eric's suicide was on the front.
"You know Hawke pretty well, right?"

Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
"Well, I'm not sure I'd say I know him "pretty well", to be honest I don't know him as well as I could. Why do you ask?" Mizo replied to Toshiaki's query.

Toshiaki laid the newspaper on the bed.
"Seen that?
I was talking to Hawke about it just before I saw you Monday morning. He said he hadn't really known him well, but it seemed to be bothering him."

Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
Mizo gave the article a quick read. He had to think for a second before he realized where he'd seen the boy in the article before.
"I've seen him before. He was...uhh never mind, that's not important right now. I'd wager a guess that if Hawke is saying it's nothing then it's probably something. I know him well enough to know that much."
Mizo looked the article over some more before setting it back down.
"My guess is you're worried about Hawke, right?"

"Partially, yeah.
"And then when I was talking to you, that blue-haired girl with the cybernetic arm looked… seriously distraught. Not just like bad grades distraught, either. She didn't say anything more about it when I was there, nor did the guy she was talking to… you know what that was all about?
"I guess… it's just all a rather unsettling memento mori. Not exactly the kind of thing I wanted to have on my mind during the first week."

Mizo racked his brain trying to remember, but came up blank.
"Sorry, not exactly sure. My memory isn't all that great though"

"Yeah, I can see what you mean, that is a lot to have on your mind."

"The girl with the light blue hair, eyepatch, cybernetic arm. She was talking to a guy with purple hair, I think. Don't know either of their names yet. But they both looked seriously out of it. Anyway…
"Is it always like that around here?
I mean, I knew it would be different, coming to a school for disabled kids, but all this talk of people dying so suddenly is really weirding me out."
Hell, the next one could very well be me. No telling for sure how long I've got. Not even considering if I were in another accident or something.

Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
"No, it's not like that normally. It's actually usually somewhat quiet. Come to think of it Wilson has been unusually quiet lately, that usually means he's up to something. Guy sure does live up to the name though."
Mizo suddenly put two and two together.
"You know, I think Wade was the purple haired guy you mentioned."

Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
Wade, huh? Never did get a good look at him, his back was to me the whole time…
"I suppose that's a relief."
He looked around the room for a moment, unsure what to say next.
"How long you been building models? These look really well done."

Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
"How long? about...7 or 8 years. But I can't anymore, that's why it's all boxed up." he said trying not to look at the boxes stacked up in one corner of the room.

Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
Everyone here has it rough, huh.
Some of us worse than others.
"Really? That's a bummer. Sorry."
Another awkward silence.
"Well, what other kinda stuff do you do?"

"Well I do have two other hobbies, but those are almost the same thing. Reading and studying. I've been thinking of taking up something more physical, but I'll have to wait until this thing comes off" he said pointing to the cast on his leg
"Any suggestions? I'm open to ideas."

"I dunno. I work out a lot, and I do karate. Would either of those be interesting? Or are you into music at all?"
Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
Mizo thought for a second
"Music huh? I'd never really considered that option, and it's something I could do without waiting for my leg cast to come off. I don't know what instrument I'd be good at though."
He said as he clenched his hand a few times then continued with a different thought that suddenly popped into his head.
"I think I should get my hair cut" as he brushed his bangs out of his face.

"Well, it's more just a matter of what you would want to play. It'll take some time and practice to become good with any instrument."
Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
"Yeah, that's true. I guess I'll have to think about it." he replied.

"Yeah. I've been playing guitar for… I think six years now, and drums for four. I don't really know much about winds or anything, but I'm sure you could find someone if that's what you want to do."
Re: Changing the future {OPEN}
"I dunno, something with strings kind of appeals to me. That or maybe the keyboard."
