Six. Months. Later.

Heading North from Tennessee towards New York, James Monroes is riding peacefully within a cross-country bus. Its destination? The Big Apple...

He sat in the back row sporting a three-piece grey suit with a purple shirt underneath, showcasing his loose blond hair and striking blue eyes. Contrary to half a year ago, he looked clean and put together for a young man...

He carried himself with the air of someone wealthy and powerful, and it would have had much effect if not for him currently riding in public transportation.

'Alright, so I transferred new clothes and trained my body enough to look normal, much better than the malnourished looking youth I was...'

As he finished this thought, something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. It was a flash of light reflected off the service of what he now could see as the newest model of CAD technology.

A passenger near the front was tinkering around with the device strapped to his wrist as if it was his precious new baby...

Seeing the CAD caused James to smile delightfully while bringing his hands together in a praying gesture that went unnoticed by the second passenger and driver.

He stayed like this for two minutes before his tightly clasped together hands loosed and separated at the palms.....while his fingertips still touched.

From the center space between his hands, a small silver ring is shown with strange symbols before disappearing...

....

'I'M SO EXCITED! That silly little rich girl was truly enamored with me and was willing to buy me the latest CAD tech that isn't even available on the market yet!...gosh my looks are just too useful. With this puppy, I should be able to earn some real cash so I don't have to rely on these bimbos----"

Just then, the strange man's eyes lost focus, and silver rings glowed in his eyes before they regained focus a minute later...

*scoff*

"Like I would want anything that lady would give me..." he removed the device from his wrist and flung it behind him without taking a second glance. At the next bus stop, he hopped off....happy that the last thing tying him to his ex has been left behind...

"Who needed that CAD anyway?..." the smiling man whispered to himself as he marched off into the distance, only to regain his senses a minute later. Although he tried to hurry back to the bus and retrieve his CAD, the transport vessel already left for the next stop...

"WHAT WAS I THINKING!?!?!?...." the man screamed with tears in his eyes as he just lost his one ticket to the good life.

.....

Still sitting in the bus calmly, James Monroe was currently making adjustments to his new CAD device while smiling slightly...

'Although this thing is primitive, if I find a computer I'll be able to make the appropriate adjustments. I'll edit the coding and create a whole new fast-casting system from the ground up...using this unregistered and more advanced device my plan to get some cash should go smoothly once I reach the City...'
