Alex leaned back in his chair as he looked at his computer screen, criticizing his own work with a careful eye for detail. He was currently working on the art for his graphic novel concept, which made up roughly half of his portfolio at the moment, and the page he was eyeing at the moment gave him a particularly hard time. "Raziel, why do you feel the need to mock me when I try to do you justice?" he asked himself, drumming the stylist of his tablet against his thigh. He knew the page was more than adequate for most graphic novels, but he still felt as though it could be better.<br/><br/>Letting out a sigh, Alex rolled back in his chair towards the nightstand next to his bed, grabbing the remote to his music system before hitting play. As he did, the distinct voice of Jared Leto came through his speakers, the song This Is War by 30 Seconds to Mars as Alex recalled. Bobbing his head a bit to the music, he rolled back to his desk before his eyes lit up, suddenly realizing what he wanted to do with the picture. "Thank you Jared," he declared as he picked up his stylist again, rolling it in his fingers before putting the final touches on his page.<br/><br/>Once finished, Alex saved the page to the folder marked 'In Progress' before getting up from his chair and walking over to his media station. Grabbing his headphones and his iPod, he slipped the device into his pocket and put one of his headphones into his ear, listening to the song as he headed out towards the stairs. Heading down, he heard Jacob yell for their parents, which usually meant something interesting was happening. Never being one to pass up the chance for inspiration, Alex took off down the stairs, wearing a pair of jeans and green t-shirt with an odd design on the left breast. It was one of the many shirts that Alex made for himself, usually having something to do with one of his many hobbies.<br/><br/>"Jacob, who's he-" Alex started before cutting himself off when he saw the pretty blond standing in the doorway, raising his eyebrow. Had it been any other day, he would have made a sarcastic remark to his brother about it not being his birthday or something similar. Of course, it wasn't any other day, and Alex had a good idea who it was soon after the pause. "Kayla, right? I assume my less attractive doppelganger has already introduced himself. I'm Alex," he said with a sly smirk, playfully patting his brother on the shoulder to signal he was just kidding.
