The frog-man had been hopping through the village on his way to the lake for a nice swim when something papery stuck to the bottom of his large webbed foot. He pealed it off, hopping down the path a few more leaps befor stopping to read it. It was another one of the fliers for the halloween dance. He'd never really been to a real party befor. Cleaned up after many, but never actually *attended*, and he was curious. He coudln't go alone, but he wasn't so sure about the idea of asking Natsumi to be his date. She probably would want to go with someone.... at least a bit more handsome. Like the snake-man.

As Newt hopped down the beaten path towards the lake, the iguana girl was walking in the opposite direction towards the entertainment room from her duplex. She was wearing one of the few dresses she had requested from the labs, yellow being one of the few colours that looked good on her. Anything else, especially green, she didn't think looked good at all.
Her five foot long tail dragged behind her and she finally looked up. Amaya's tongue flickered and she paused momentarily to c**k her head to the side - finally spotting the frog man in the process.
She'd never really seen him before, save for a couple of passes, but she knew he had been here for awhile due to his apperance. The girl continued to walk again, her body swaying to a reptilian gait. Like other occasions in passing, she decided to just say hi and be on her way.

Newt didn't notice the lizard untill she was nearly on top of him, and he gave a little startled yelp, hopping to the side of the path and out of the way as quickly as he was able, and tripped on a froggish foot in the process. Once he had righted himself, he clutched the now crumpled flier to his chest as he tried to catch his breath. "Ah! S-sorry, I d-didn't m-mean to be in the way!" His throat expanded with each gasping pant.

Amaya jumped as well, not expecting him to freak out like that about such a small deal. She stopped walking, blinking her strange yellow and brown eyes at him.
"Ah... no, no. You weren't in the way." She gave him a shy little smile and held out her huge hands in a calming gesture. "It's okay."

He calmed margionally, enormous eyes twitching over the unfamiliar iguana... person. Judging by the voice and dress, though, it was clear she was a girl. "Ah... " He cleared his voice again in an embarassed fashion.

And other than that, she looked completely androgenous - nothing on her reptilian form indicating she was female or had ever been at one point in her life. Her large pink tongue flickered again before she held out her clawed hand.
"Uhm... My names Amaya."
Well, this was kind of awkward.

He took another moment's hesitation to bind the pieces of his shattered nerves he had just collected back together properly. When he did open his mouth to speak, his throat erupted out on either side to give a nervious, organic-balloon-powered croak. He coughed to try to hide it, and offered her a trembling, web-fingered hand in exchange, "Ah... I'm.. N-newton. Er... Newt. I used t'be a jan-jan-janitor." With his free hand, he picked at the dirty, frayed and faded feral labs badge on his jumper.

Though the teen made no real reaction to the loud croak other than a blink. When you were around others that were partially animal for so long, you got used to a number of things. And even though she had yet to hear anyone croak, it was just like any other animal sound - like Ambrose's howling.
She nodded slowly, shaking his hand gently in her own before letting go again. "Used to be?" A frown stretched across her inhuman features despite how alien it looked. "Why'd they send you out here and..." She trailed off, not needing to say the last part.

"I'm... ah... " He fidgeted, crouching down lower towards the ground with self conciously slouched shoulders, "I'm a b-b-b-b-bit... ah...accident prone. Er... and wuh-wuh-woo-where are you f-from?"

Poor guy... turned into a frog just because of an accident. She gave him a sympathetic look before answering his question.
"I'm from Pennsylvania... been here for about a year." Wow, it had been ages since she had mentioned her place of birth. Amaya had never really been homesick... Why would she be? There was nothing there for her even if she did somehow make it back. And although she had lived here and would for the rest of her life, she would always keep that Northeastern United States accent.

No matter where Newt lived, he would always sound british and stutter. "Ah, y-you sounded Am-m-muh-mah-merican," He nodded, and fidgeted with the flier a bit more befor he even remembered he had been holding it. "S-so... er... are you g-going to the... the d-dance?"

Amaya nodded. "Pennsylvania is in the North East... it's where the Amish live." Normally that little bit of information clued most people in that lived out of the states where Pennsylvania was located.
"The dance?" She repeated, having not used the term for the Halloween party. Afterall, she... didn't really dance. "The Halloween party, yeah. Are you?"

"Me neither... but it's a place where everyone goes once a year. Where you can see people you haven't run into in awhile. Y'know?" Her head tilted to the side as she looked down at him. "I go for the company, if nothing else." She said, trying to convince him to go in her own way.

"I... I... r-read something about... cos-cos-costumes... d-do we r-really have to d-dress up, do you th-think?" He glanced down at the flier again, reading over the information once again as carefully as befor.
