He hadn't fallen asleep, oh no...but he was pretty damn close. He simply remained in that position and enjoyed the quiet, as much quiet as he could anyway. The bass of surround sound speakers still rumbled throughout the halls, and voices could still be heard from outside, but the sounds were hushed enough by the walls that the room remained relatively peaceful. He wouldn't have minded falling asleep, honestly. He didn't anticipate anything interesting happening for a while, and that would at least passed the time. Low and behold, however, sound flooded the room as the door opened, causing the unsuspecting student to rise from his bed in a violent stir. "Whozzat?" He replied to the boy in a slurred, drowsy voice. He cleared his throat a bit and reached under his hat to scratch his head before he rose to greet the newcomer, one of his roomies no doubt.<br/><br/>He strolled into the doorway of his room and leaned casually against the frame, looking out into the common room where the stranger stood and giving him something of a casual two finger salute. "Sup, man..er..roomie." He smirked a bit, and though he came off as somewhat aloof it surely wasn't a sign of disrespect of distaste. Cool and distant was just how he was, but he usually came off as friendly, even with that aloofness. "'bout that room, though. You might wanna check your paper. They assigned rooms, I just happened to get this one.."  He shrugged with the words, pointing a thumb over his shoulder at the room behind him. When the door opened once more, he turned his head in the next newcomer's direction, greeting him with a bit of a nod, though it seemed to go unnoticed. He took note of the glare Deryn seemed to give Cristofolo, but he didn't bother speaking, that is, until he mentioned receiving a scholarship as well. Ah yes, that mysterious scholarship.<br/><br/>"...Yeah..I got a scholarship here, too. Dunno why, but I'm kinda curious to be hone-." He cut himself off when he heard something through his open window. Whatever it was it was far away, but there was something wrong. He retreated back into his room and peaked his head out the window, raising an eyebrow as he tried to focus on the sound. They were screams...and not the 'just got pushed in freezing water' kind. They were like something he'd heard in horror movies..what the hell was going on? After ten, maybe fifteen minutes the sound seemed to die down. That still didn't put Hideo at ease, though. Not even a bit. "Guys..." He called out lowly. "Guys, you heard that too right? Please tell me I wasn't the only one who heard that..."
