Location: Residential District
April 2. 5 P.M. Kai and Aven
So there was a somewhat very nice apartment complex building somewhere in Innerpeace. In that appartment complex is Kai with a bunch of boxes. All these boxes were just recently brought in. Now they needed to be unpacked. Who did he rope into helping him? Why his best friend in the entire city, Aven Phare of course. He was walking around, looking at each of the boxes and checking to see the labels on each of them to make sure they were in the right room. Or at the very least, they were in the right part of the room.
"Alright. I think Aven should be here any time now," he said to himself. Or perhaps he said it to Model Pm? After all, while Kai and Aven slave away at unpacking and organizing the contents of these boxes, the two biometals would have more time to spend with each other and visit.
But of course he suspected Aven was going to be there soon. He had sent his request to Aven via a very special method. One of Kai's long time best friends, Rhythm. Who said messenger birds were obsolete nowadays? They worked fine for Kai. And as far as he knew, or that he assumed, Aven would probably be almost there...or maybe even in the elevator, and had Rhythm on his shoulder the entire time. But that was just Kai's assumption of where Aven is and what state he's in.

Of course Aven was going to be there soon - thankfully he hadn't had anything important to do today, and he'd made enough cash to get by for awhile. And then there was Julianne, Prometheus, and Pandora. Those three would be just fine, though Prometheus needed to learn how to no tick people off. That guy, honestly.
So of course, there was Aven, with Rhythm on his shoulder and Model Q on his pocket trying to remain hidden, on his way to Kai's apartment. Not too long after the musings of the other young man, Aven knocked on the door to Kai's apartment.
"Kai, you in? It's me."

"The door's unlocked," he called out.
Soon as Aven will walk in he'll notice a nice hallway that leads to a rather...very decent looking kitchen with bar counter top and nice large den or living room area. Like seriously, it's one of those really nice appartments that...looks more like a suite of some sort. Or as if an entire normal house was just stuck on top of a building. In the back of the room were a bunch of curtains that looked like they were possibly covering a large screen door or something. The whole place looked very nice...minus all the boxes that were stacked everywhere.
Rhythm flew off Aven's shoulder and landed on what looked like a bird stand set up for him.
"Sup, did I drag you away from a potentially crazy moment at home?" he asked, most likely referring to one crazy girlfriend and one crazy roommate at Aven's current residence.
But then again...was Kai any less crazy? Let's face it Aven. You're a magnet for crazy people.

"Gotcha!"
Kai yelled back that the door was unlocked, so Aven opened the door to the apartment and let himself in.
It looked pretty nice, actually. Aven let out a low whistle of appreciation as Rhythm flew off his shoulder and onto a stand. Once Aven shut the door, Model Q floated out of Aven's pocket, as he was now around people that he knew.
"Actually I dunno whether to thank you for that or not," Aven laughed a bit. "Prometheus and Juli are crazy, but you're probably just as crazy as them."
It sounded like he was joking, but in all honesty, was he? Only Aven would know that for sure.
"So, what you want me to help you with right now?" Obviously the boxes, but Aven didn't know if Kai had any top secret stuff in any of the boxes that he didn't want anyone seeing.

Rhythm himself was watching Model Q and Aven as they walked into his and Kai and the other floating rock's new home. That bird was interested in the new people...more specifically, the second floating rock he ever saw in his existence as well as Aven, who had...seemed equally as interesting to Rhythm.
"I dunno about that," Kai responded in good humor.
He got up and looked around the room. "Ya know, I'm not sure. Probably start with just about anything, it shouldn't matter much."
There was the old photo album he had open on the table, with the page turned to the same blonde girl, black haired older kid, and brown haired bearded scientist looking guy from before with the younger looking Kai. The boxes around them had several different labels on them. Kitchen stuff, books, living room paraphernalia, trains...
Trains?
Why'd he have a box of trains?
Well it's Kai so anything goes. Even boxes that literally said "Random pieces of junk" on them, even with numbers on said boxes.

Model Q for the most part just made sure to stick as close as he could to Aven without actually getting in the way. That was the last thing that the Biometal wanted to do for the group of them here.
"Really? I'm not so sure about that," Aven replied, laughing a little.
He stretched a bit as Kai told him to just start with anything. No secret stuff, eh? Aven could work with that. Aven grabbed the nearest box of stuff, labeled "books", and opened it up to pull some of the stuff out.
"Is this all your stuff, or did you still leave some back where you came from?" he asked. He did notice that photo album, but passed it off as some memories - he wasn't going to dig through it unless the other didn't mind him doing it.

"Not all of it, but at least enough to somewhat get by," Kai replied.
As far as books went, there seemed to be a lot of notebooks, some novels here and there of fictional variety and such. One book in particular had "Ideas" written on it in gold letters of some kind along with a lightbulb on there that was the same gold material as the letters. Inside that particular book were sketches and schematics of all sorts of different...inventions and devices of some sort? Why did Kai have a book like that?
Even more interesting was the fact everything was either handwritten or hand drawn in there. That book didn't come with its content, someone had spent a good deal of time filling its many pages.
There were a few music books as well in there. Not to mention a good deal of comics as well. Kai meanwhile seemed to have gotten into a box labeled "Tracks" and took out what was apparently model train tracks as he began connecting a few pieces together.

"Yeah, looks like it."
There definitely was a lot of stuff in here, that was for sure. Aven opened the box that had been labeled 'Books' and pulled some things out. Most of it seemed to be notebooks and some fiction (Aven even saw a couple of books that he had read before he'd left high school - he'd have to ask Kai if he could borrow them sometime).
"Hey, I used to have a couple of these." Aven put the books aside, and continued to dig a few more books out. A few music books, a bunch of comics, and an... idea book?
Curiosity got the better of Aven, and he began to peek through it, seeming really interested in it. There was something oddly familiar about the handwriting and the diagrams, but he kept on skimming through it.

"Oh really?" Kai asked as he was assembling almost a complete oval or something with the tracks. It looked almost oval shaped anyways. "Which ones?"
After a complete oval was made he set it around the coffee table and turned around to Aven and Q. Apparently the younger guy was looking into that old idea book thing.
"If you're wondering, I didn't write all the stuff in that book," he said.
However it was surprising how much detail, notes, and calculations were even put into each diagrammed or sketched invention idea. How did Kai get his hands on this book anyways?
Kai then set a small tank engine on the tracks with an empty freight car in the back along with a caboose.
"Hey, Quint. Would you like to see something?" Kai asked.
Pm had decided to stop staying in Kai's pocket and was floating near the assembled train track under the coffee table.

"Yeah," replied Aven as he carefully stacked the books into a pile out of the way. "Oh, just a couple. These ones from the Galaxy Odyssey series. It was a favorite series of mine."
Aven thumbed a bit through the old idea book, smiling at bit at some of the diagrams. Whoever had come up with these had an inventors' flare, and it apparently wasn't Kai's stuff? Huh.
"Who wrote these? They look like-" A particular diagram caught his eye, and Aven's heart jumped. "Kai... this diagram looks just like my visor."
But where would this person have gotten those sketches...?
"...?" Model Q nearly squeaked when Kai spoke to him, but hovered a bit closer out of curiosity. "A m-model t-train...?"

"You too huh? I liked it ever since I was a kid," Kai replied to Aven about the books.
"Hop in," Proto spoke up in his calm tone of voice to Quint. He was floating right in front of the remote control used to control the train.
When Aven brought up the visor, Kai got up and walked over to look at the diagram. "Yeah I thought as much. No wonder I thought you looked familiar."
He sat down in the chair next to Aven at the table the books were all on. "That book belonged to my dad. Didn't get a chance to know him. That whole diagram with the visor right there was supposed to be an invention to help most blind people see...If he ever got around to completing it anyways."

((OOC: Got computer access finally, but no Chatango or Skype until I get home. =/ And by then I'll probably be too tired to do anything but go to bed. Avenmuse is the only one active right now.))
"Yeah, same here," Aven said, curiously glancing over to where Kai was setting up the model train. Q looked a bit curious as well. Q would've blinked had he been able to, but when Pm told him to hop in, well... Q hopped into the train.
"Your... dad?" Aven blinked at the book, before putting one hand to the side of his visor. "I don't get it. My dad invented this visor. He told me he'd had the idea for ages, but only made it after I had my accident. It took him a few months... but he got it working."
That was just freaky. How could both of their dads have had an idea for something so similar in design. Similar idea, yes, but the same design?

Soon as Q hopped into the train, Proto floated down and hit a button on what was apparently the train's remote control. The train was now taking Q round and round that coffee table. FREE TRAIN RIDE!
Kai gave this very skeptical surprised look on his face. "...Okaaay. This isn't making sense. Why would your dad have a design for the same device mine did. Michael never said dad showed this to many people. Just his own private thoughts...And I don't think Michael would've showed this to him...would he? Hmmm..."
And now Kai was stuck there in a thinking pose as he pondered about all this.
Meanwhile Pm hopped onto the train behind Q.

Q let out a surprised squeak when the train suddenly started moving, but then let out a little bit of laughter. Hey, this was fun! He was riding on a train! He wanted to do this again! Whoo~!
"...No it's not at all." Aven set the book down, but he was still staring at it.
"I don't know who Michael is, or whether Dad even knew him or your dad, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't lying when he told me that he came up with the design for this. He had lots of secrets, but I don't think he meant any harm."
Q gave a surprised yelp when there was suddenly another presence behind him, but relaxed upon noticing it was just Pm. "Hi!"

Kai thought for a moment, then he shrugged. "Well...Dad was always into this kinda stuff to help people. Never for glory or profit. So I guess it isn't too big of a problem."
He looked back at Aven with a slightly embarrassed look on his face. "Michael is...well...He's kinda the guy who took care of me after my parents died and...besides being Dad's best friend he's...Um...Well he's kinda the leader of Orchestra the past several years. Heheh."
The country up north that was pretty much what used to be Canada. Yup. That country.
"Yo," Proto replied to him as they rode the traintracks. "Having fun?"
