Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Kaelyn is also still completely human at this time, she arrived on the island a few days before but has not met anyone because her allergies were keeping her in her duplex))

For the first time in days Kaelyn had ventured out of her duplex. She was still a bit stuffy and lightheaded from allergies but she figured that some fresh air would do her good. Once she got over her attack, surely she would be able to start helping the under-developed citizens of this island understand technology ((the reason Kaelyn is on the island)). Despite the tropical heat Kaelyn was wearing her usual 'uniform' of jeans and a baggy t-shirt. She stood, looking over what she could see and grimacing. The medical facility was nice, as were the duplexes for the volunteers, but where were the others?

With a slight tug on the chain she wore on her left ear (a nervous habit) she looked around and saw someone approaching. Was he another of the volunteers?

"Oy!" she called out to the jogging man, her voice souding tired like the woman was. She wondered how long he had been volunteering here and what he did.

An eyebrow raised and the woman eyed the man that had fallen at her feet. "You okay?" she held out a hand to him. "Its not often a guy falls at my feet before we've even met." She was making a joke but not many people understood her sense of humor and she laughed lightly. She didn't want this conversation to be awkward.

A delighted smile played at the corners of her mouth. She liked Cole already. "Well the don't necessarily throw themselves at my feet. They get thrown there." Mostly they were the boyfriends that tried to grab her breasts without permission. Back on the mainland Kaelyn had a lot of friends, some were large males. If any of them saw someone picking on Kaelyn they would threaten them and sometimes they would throw them. "Not that any of that would happen here. I'm Kaelyn Murassi, self proclaimed computer geek." She shook his hand back before letting go.

An obsessive artist huh. Interesting. What was an obsessive artist doing volunteering on an island? She would ask that later, for now she was going to enjoy their conversation.

"Fresh air. As far as I know I am only allergic to cats, but since I got here my allergies have been really bad, I hoped the fresh air would help." As if on cue she sneezed. "What about you?" she asked grimacing at the sneeze.

This time she actually did smile. "That would be great, I've never seen an artist at work before." Unless one counted animations majors at the university, though much of what they did was all computer generated.

"Are there any wild cats here? I'm allergic to those as well. Though I think it just might be that the previous occupent of my duplex kept a pet cat and it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned. I'll have to ask that it be done. I can't help the people here unless something is done about my allergies."

Let him take that as he would. Likely he would assume she meant helping the people keep up the 'resort' though she meant something completely different.

"What medias do you use?" For Kaelyn had only had experience with computer generated images.

"Oh!" The delight was evident in her face. He was an all around artist, but he preferred painting. "That is really cool. Being a computer geek I usually only got to hang around with animations people. They do everything on a computer and a lot of them used 3D rendering programs." Kaelyn shrugged, she had taken a few courses in her pathway to programming, but she preferred the hard code. She didn't have the patience or the brain to concentrate and create works of beauty. To her, computers were beautiful. She followed him, walking carefully as to not get her sneakers to gritty - sand was very uncomfortable when it got into shoes. "How long have you been here? Is the rest of the island this beautiful?" She was asking a lot of questions, but he likely knew more than she did since she had been in her duplex for a few days.

((Don't feel bad, I know almost nothing about computers and I have decided to go into computer engineering at university XD))

Kaely observed as Cole seemed to become hypnotized by the ocean in front of them. "I heard from one of the doctors that the cliffs are beautiful. I would love to see the view from there once." She sat back in the sand figuring it would be more comfortable and kicked off her shoes revealing bare feet. "It seems so peaceful. . ."
