Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I guess I'm still pretty new here...and it's very nice to meet you both...but Greer...that has got to be one of the neatest names I've ever heard! Where's it come from?" she asked eagerly. Not that she wanted to ignore Kim...but other girl seemed...quiet.

Kim couldn't help but frown a bit.

"Someone called you a demon ?" What ? That was pretty damn mean. But given that she had NO idea how she reacted like she did to Hargun... it was probabely safe to say that there was probabely... less than graceful reactions.

"But well... Yes. I came here thinking ill'd be cured. I mean, I didn't really expect it to happen, but hey... it was something to hope for." It was a bit hard to explain how she felt about that one.

Greer chuckled and their reactions to her off-hand demon comment. "Meh, the guy who said it is a priest, and those fellows have their own problems. Well, the ones I knew as a kid were okay, but Irish Catholic priests tend to have a slightly skewed take on observing- and look at me, I'm babbling."

Ah, another curee. "Yeah, Moreau likes to promise cures. And jobs. I thought I was here to study insects, and I have been, but not officially or anything. No published discoveries for me. And the intro speech is the "Doctor lied to you, animal turning into in your future" etc. stuff."

Smiling as cheerfully as she could manage as she talked and ate, Greer hoped against hope she wouldn't have to give another one of those. Her last two hadn't gone so well.

Joliette was cheered a little by what David had shown her, though that Eifel tower greatly reminded her of the one she could see from her gran and gramps house... the house she'd lived in till she was 2 and often visited afterwords. With a sigh she trudged into the cafeteria, her yellow tongue flicked and brought to her the smells of the meats across the room which made her cringe. Though the beast inside her desired them they still really bothered her. She looked up as the scents brought back to her were also that of people... Chana, Greer and someone she didn't know.. Oh joy, she hadn't seen Chana since the girls' first day there... She shifted directions not wanting to go near the foods just then and headed for their table her toe-claws clicking on the linolium as her heavy feet landed on the floor. She'd not had a good day and she knew it wouldn't be any better of a week and her face showed the remaining signs of having cried earlier that morning

One look at Chana said she was handling this badly. Damn it! Until her last change she'd been so much better at the being gentle and nice thing... probably because without the hawk in her she actually was. Bah. Humbug.

"I'm going to guess you haven't had it then - I'm sorry, I'm being so callous. Do you know why we're all really here?" Smiling at the curly-haired girl, she glanced back and saw the photographer. Oh hey! "Joliette! Thanks for the photo - it's beautiful work."

"Hello Chana" Joliette said in her thick British accent as she reached the table "Uhm Merry christmas.. to all of you" her voice sounded almost as if she was forcing the holiday cheer into it "I'm glad you liked it Greer, it was the only think of giving the people I'd met here, so far I wanted to give something..." and then she looked at the vietmanese female "Hi... I'm Joliette, you are right I believe we have not met... You... You guys mind if I join you?" she asked quietly

Growling at herself, Greer swallowed the last of her food and bussed her tray. Idiot! What was her goddamned problem-

"Excuse me, I'm going to track Chana down and apologize - have a good meal you two." Giving a quick nod to Kim and Joli, the entomologist left the cafeteria, searching for the girl in vain.

Joliette sighed at hte sudden departure of hte two people she knew but figured it was jsut another addition to her day... oh well. She had a seat, her yellow forked tongue flicking as she did "Soo... uhm how long have you been here?"
