Rayanya thought for a minute. "You know, I don't quite remember how long I've been here for. A long time, though... since before Christmas, I remember that much at least." She sighed, wrapping her arms around her chest.

"Wow." The iguana stepped out from behind the tree, leaning against the side now. "You don't look very changed for someone whos been here for so long." She said honestly. Lucky girl.

"Yeah... it took a while for the first change to come about, and even longer for the second... I think, sometimes, that my body just kind of resists whatever it is they pumped into it. Either that or they're just submitting to slow, cruel torture." Ray smiled wryly, looking over Amaya. "You look like you've been through quite a lot, though. How much further do you think it'll go? The changes, I mean."

"Well that's good. I seem to be changing rather quickly for how long I've been here..." Amaya frowned, her tail curling slightly around her feet as she looked at the ground. "I've been through three and as far as I know... I only have one more left. I dunno what'll happen then. Or what they have planned for us once were "finished."" She winced and then looked at the disgarded pencil halves and the sketchpad, picking them up carefully and holding them out to her.
"Here."

"Yeah, I'm kind of wondering about that too. Maybe they'll turn us back to normal and send us home or something... preferably with a memory wipe..." Ray smirked at the other girl, taking back her drawing supplies. "Thanks. I'm kind of in a bad mood about all this today. Still bitter about waking up in a cave a couple months ago, too..." Ray sighed.

"That would be kind of nice. Though I'd miss the people I met here... if I remembered at all." Was that possible? To wipe someone's memory? The girl thought so, if they could turn them into animals then why not? But then she would have never known what had happened. Where the time had went. Who she had met. Ambrose, Rex, Hargun... Alec...
Her chest tightened up and she forced herself to think of something else.
"You mean the lockout? Yeah, I woke up next to a helicopter crash with two fake, charred bodies..." Amaya scowled.

Rayanya shuddered. "Isn't that pleasant. I woke up in the middle of a dark cave with no light: I was lucky to have a book of matches on my person." She sighed. "Of course, along came the bats just as we were about to get out, and then I noticed that my companion was turning into a bat... and I think I've figured out my fate. I don't get it though; I don't have cravings for bugs or anything, just for fruit. What kind of bat eats fruit?" She shrugged her shoulders, looking exasperated.
Speaking of fruit -- Ray darted her eyes around the forest, looking to see if there were any trees about bearing melons or something.

"Oh, you must have met Hargun." So thats where she had been all that time... The lizard thought to herself.
"Fruit? Isn't there such a thing as a fruit bat?" She asked more then stated.

"Yeah, Hargun." Ray frowned slightly at the memories that the two had shared.
"And what? A fruit bat? Never heard of it. But then, I'm a city girl, and the only kinds we have out there are the ones that eat bugs and the people who think they're really vampires." Rayanya rolled her eyes, demarking the prospect as preposterous.

"The only kinds back where I lived were brown bats. I think that's what Hargun is turning into." Amaya paused. "But yeah, I think they're are bats that eat fruit... they have orange fur and big black ears. I always thought they were cute."

"Orange fur and big black ears, eh?" Ray smiled wide, a twisted smile. "Sounds like Hallowe'en incarnate." She laughed at that, a dark chuckle, her eyes gleaming slightly.
"So what are you turning into, exactly? I think I saw a lizard at a pet store similar to... well..." Ray cut off, she didn't want to be rude and just out and say 'hey, I saw a lizard that looks like you.' Even if it was the truth.

The teen gave a sad smile. "Green iguana." Her long tail brushed along the ground behind her.

"Hey," she said with what she hoped to be an encouraging smile. "That's not so bad. You can climb trees, and you don't have to eat bugs. Last I knew iguanas ate fruits and vegetables. And eating bugs has never been something that suited my pallette."
Ray moved over to a tree and leaned against it, crossing her legs. She was growing weary of standing on just her heels.

"Yeah, I know. Herbivore now. And it could always be worse." Amaya sat down as well, hugging her legs and curling her tail around herself. "But like you said... it still doesn't make things any easier."

Rayanya sighed. "No, I don't think anything could make this any easier. I mean... we're turning into monsters, here. Things that no one will ever see. If we ever dare try to walk amongst normal humans again, we'd be hated, hunted, and executed."
Ray glowered. "I wish I knew what Moreau's effing social status was. Probably doing this to us over some childish bully god complex or something." A sigh. "Even if it meant that I would be forever trapped like this, I'd hurt him if I could. He seemed so nice. b*****d..."
