Joliette smiled and giggled "You want me wrapping your hand in bandages again Chubbs?" she asked softly reaching over and placing her hand on the one she had wrapped when he destroyed his intercom

--- NEW RP ---
Amaya sat outside the cafeteria doors, allowing the hot afternoon sun to warm her scales. The air conditioning inside was rather uncomfortable, so since she was alone for the time being she chose to eat outside and bask at the same time.
She sat cross-legged, the bowl of salad resting in her large palm and the other awkwardly holding the fork that stabbed at the veggies contained within. These past few days hadn't been so bad. Despite that one weird encounter with the preist, everything had been... well, pretty good actually. The iguana girl smiled to herself as she ate in silence.

Chana had just woken up. She'd gone back to her duplex after meeting Jamal at the beach late last night. And, of course, her belly had woken her up, demanding that she remember how long it had been since dinner yesterday.
In her sleep-fogged daze, she didn't really notice the girl sitting outside the building as being...out of the ordinary. "Boker tov," she greeted the girl. When was the last time she'd been able to sleep so late? Probably that last Shabbat two or three summers ago. When had she last worked there...?

"Huh?" Amaya blinked and looked up at the strange woman that approached her and froze. Crap, someone ELSE she hadn't met yet? Please oh please let them know what was going on...
"Uh... hey." She looked down and didn't wave, just in case this woman didn't know the truth. If she didn't then... well, she really didn't want to see her reaction to her strange apperance.

"It means "good morning"," Chana provided, still not really seeing Amaya.
"Is there anything good in the cafeteria today?" It was just an innocent question, Chana was trying to make conversation on "safe" ground. Besides, camp food was not to be envied unless if you didn't have enough to eat.

"Ah." Amaya gave an understanding nod. Well, this woman was certainly being... calm, if anything. Thinking that she knew about the truth and was taking it rather well, she looked back up and at the cafeteria doors. "Eh, depends on what you like. Veggies are fresh at least." She gave a light shrug while stabbing at her salad and taking another bite.

"Veggies? No cereal? And is there 2% milk?" Or maybe the other woman was only interested in veggies. It was possible. It was also possible that she had...some...strange skin condition. Like leprosy? Or wait...wasn't that white spots? Gah, too much brainpower was required to figure that out right now.

"I dunno, really. You'll probably have to go and look. I only went in and grabbed a salad before making my way back out here... didn't really look over the menu very much." Amaya was looking at her salad again, not annoyed at all by the woman's questions... she was actually having a normal conversation like she was a normal person again. It was pretty nice.

"Okay, thanks," Chana replied, and went inside to fetch food. She decided that she'd eat outside with the other woman, maybe the woman would let slip her condition. If Chana had any major flaw, it was that she wanted to know what was going on with people. She'd befriend anyone, but liked to know what was going on that might affect how much they were getting out of a program or such.
A few minutes later, Chana returned with a bowl of Frosted Flakes and a small milk carton. It was a few days to expiration, but wasn't there yet. All was right with the world.
"May I sit?" she asked the woman.

Amaya wasn't really expecting the woman to come back outside and request to sit with her, so for a second she looked up in surprise before smiling and shuffling over. "Sure, no problem." She was just sitting on the ground outside the door, not really bothering with any tables that might have been set up outside. For some reason she loved to sit on the ground and feel the grass between her toes while she ate.
After she had shuffled over she wiggled a little bit, allowing her tail to curl around her without getting smashed against her body and the wall. Danm, that thing was a pain.

Chana sat down, poured her milk, and was taking a spoonful of cereal when she saw the tail move. She blinked, then looked up at Amaya's face, truly seeing it for the first time.
"Do you like dressing up?" she asked, calmly, though she'd gone a bit paler than usual.

Amaya stopped mid bite, letting her fork back into her bowl as she looked at the woman. Oh... crap... she didn't know...
"Dressing... up...?" She frowned and looked down at her bowl, her stomach turning. Please don't let her freak.
"This... isn't a costume if that's what you mean." Green eyes closed, not wanting to see her reaction.

"Not a costume..." Chana trailed off, staring. Then she burst out laughing.
"Of course it's not! You must be like some of my friends in college, who swore that they really were the people they were dressed up as. I see now." And she dug into her cereal, having found a rational explanation.

What...? Amaya frowned and glared at Chana, her tail lashing and hitting the wall behind her with a smack. She... she was ******** LAUGHING. Something the girl didn't even know she had snapped.
"Don't ******** laugh! I'm serious! Look at my hands. Do these look fake? Like gloves?" She held one out and flexed it, using the other to set her bowl down on the ground for now. "Does my tail look fake? Is it some electronic thing moving on it's own?" Her tail continued to make quick, aggrivated lashes against the wall, not hurting at all for some reason. Her voice at first was a yell, but then died down to that of quiet anger and sarcasm. Paired with her scaly face, sharp teeth, and narrowed eyes she did look rather intimidating as some of that innocent girl that had arrived on the island was lost forever.

As the woman started yelling, Chana froze and looked up. Her eyes, her face, her hands, her tail...her tail...her TAIL!
Dear Lord the woman had a tail. That was the last thought Chana had as darkness swarmed over her. Thankfully her face missed her bowl by a handspan as she fainted.
