Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pyroth nodded, deciding to leave out mentioning how many times he had seen the contents of his stomach since he got here, whatever they were doing to his gut, it didn't like it much.

"You made that decision much quicker than I did. I had a good mope for a month or two, almost went back into a habit I didn't want involved in." Indeed, he had been on the verge of depression for a while "But then, after this most recent change, I came to the conclusion that it couldn't really get much worse, and my moping was doing nothing at all about it. I picked what was left of myself up, dusted it off and kept going. It's not the best situation we are in, but at least with some of these amenities, we can still make a confortable living here."

He added "Can't say I'm a geek myself, Khan was always the one who dealt with the electronics and gadgets, but he did keep trying to show me how to play that damnable computer of his. Suffice to say, I never ever got the hang of it. I'm just one of those people who prefers to talk than to.to....word process, I think it was called?"

((Got to go ^^, nice rping with you.))

Pyroth pushed his own plate away from him a little, a habit shared with many people, and listened to Kim, she seemed a strong individual, something he hoped she would maintain even after her first change, always the worst one. "I think we all learn the hard way how to deal with things." It was true, especially here in the most exceptional of circumstances, you saw how people really were deep down.

"But I do agree, words are more personal, they hold more sway and influence than simple text." Pyroth wasn't good at reading anyway, he could only just do it. "Where I grew up, that was all there was."

He had enjoyed their conversation, but realised that he had meant to complete his drawing from earlier after dinner, his good mood was still very much present and he wanted to maintain it long enough to capture it.

Stretching, he yawned, covering his mouth with a paw. "Either way, I'd say that's my stomach settled. It's been nice talking to you Kim, but I've got a design that needs finishing up." he got to his feet, sliding his chair back under the table. "Good luck to you in future and if you ever need a friendly pair of ears" he flicked his own rather more furry than usual ones "at any time, don't hesitate to give me a visit, I'm duplex 5, near the sea, almost always at home."

He gave her a friendly nod. "I'll see you later."

And with that, he headed out of the cafeteria, his short black toe claws clicking on the floor.

Chana was in a rather negative mood this morning, due in part to the holiday. So it was to her surprise that she smelled an old favorite upon entering the cafeteria. Lotkes! There was also briskit and horseradish...but it was only brunch.

Chana snagged a small dish that she filled with lotkes, and a second dish for her bagel and cream cheese. Maybe this wasn't going to be such a bad day after all, she decided as she started slicing the bagel.

In the middle of covering her bagel in cream cheese, Chana looked up to see if she knew whoever had come in.

She...didn't. Chana swallowed nervously. She didn't want to make the woman uncomfortable...wasn't Ambrose pretty normal underneath that fur?...so she'd be polite.

"Good morning," she called out to the bird-woman.

Chana smiled, a bit strained, but it was the thought that counted, right? "I'm pretty good...these lotkes are excellent," she replied, gesturing at her meal.

She paused, trying to think of something to say. "You seem to really like bugs," she said, remembering the curious jingle the woman had been singing.

Oddly enough, it was Greer's little song that awoke her from her sleeping position on one of the corners of her room... just exactly how and when she had felt asleep and what time it was was a mystery to her mind... But it was probabely time to test her blood sugar, just in case. She did so quietly, and when the small machine said everything was right, she pocketed it, shoving the bandlet stained with blood in the other pocket before getting up and walking torward the other two girls that where there.

"Hey !" She gave Greer the same look she did to about everyone that far in she met so far, a bit of surprise, until she caught herself and let go, sightly embarassed... again.

Seeing Chana was almost a blessing... The only one that wasn't too far in that she had met where Awen and Jamal... Awen had changed since then, and she hadn't seen Jamal since then. It was a bit conforting to see she wasn't the only... "normal" ones.

"Mind if I join you two... ?"

"Don't worry - I have known for a long time I'm a weirdo, and not just because of the feathers." It was nervous joking on her part, but she was trying to set her new companion at ease- make that two new companions. It always happened this way on the island, n** out for a bit and you see half the population. Came from the small area and high stress levels, she guessed.

Sitting down, she began to cube her steak as usual and nodded to both Chana and the woman who hadn't introduced herself yet. "I'm Greer, sorry I forgot to mention that. You two new here?"
