Theo had gotten curious about the school over in America and had decided to check it out after he learned about being able to fly over from the Castle straight to it. He had heard some about it from his father, who had been here before, but had arrived late due to some issues with the weather. He was impressed with how the place looked, but compared to the Exile Castle, it was somewhat lacking. He still enjoyed the sight of it and was surprised by how many students he saw walking around. He wondered if the castle would be like this after a while.
Theo walked around the foyer looking around. He wondered what all he should look at while he was here. He was also wondering if he shouldn't just head off to New York City since he was so close and catch a few Broadway shows or just wonder around the woods that surrounded the mansion or just take in the local town sights. He also wondered if he would meet any of the students while he was here. There was just so much to do and try while he was here.
Theo began to hum while he looked around. The mansion did have some kind art in it, but again it just couldn't compare with the Exile Castle on the level of the art that was in it. The mansion was more well built to function as a school though then the castle which really just gave it a feeling of truly being a school, which the exile castle was greatly lacking. It had a much better atmosphere for learning then the castle did as well.

John was bored; in fact he was very bored. John wasn’t one to sit still with nothing to do; he always liked doing something, whether it was something active or educational, though he would deny the later if anyone ever asked him. He had wanted to go rollerblading at the local skate park, and in fact he was half way back to his dorm room when he remembered why he couldn’t. The wheels had broken on one of his blades and he hadn’t gone into the city to buy a new pair yet. He supposed he could go into town the. Placing his hand in his pocket John felt his keys, he really could if he wanted to he just didn’t want to, not then at least.
Walking into the into the living room John decided he would do what he did when he was at home, play random songs on the piano. Walking toward the piano that sat in one of the corners of the room, and looking around noticed that no one was around so he decided to play “Journey to the Island.” John had this song memorized; well he had most things memorized because he had photographic memory, so he was able to play it without the use of sheet music.
p.s this is what he's playing www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GEaMU9oIHc

Theo hadn't been looking around the foyer for very long when he suddenly began to hear some music being played on the piano. Whoever was playing it had memorized it or was playing off a sheet, but didn't seem to be listening to the tone of the song. Every piano was different and the sound of the notes changed with them, but that was really someone that only people who had been around pianos or people who played them all the time really knew. He followed the sound of the piano and found a guy around his age playing it. He had the look of someone who didn't like to play around others. He waited for him to play some more of it for a bit before he walked over to him.
" Excuse me, mind if I play for a second?" Theo asked of the guy.
Theo had gotten an urge to play the piano after listening to the guy play it for a moment. He waited for the guy to move then sat down. He toyed with the keys for a bit to figure out the sound of this piano and then began to play. He didn't play any song that was composed, just hit random keys as he saw fit at the time. The sound of it come off as if it was something that he had spent time practicing to play since all the notes interlocked with each other smoothly and the sound of the song was pleasant. He liked just playing random notes whenever he played an instrument.
