Avery walked with Timothy towards the entertainment room, wanting to see if he could get Tim to play some multi-player video games with him. He was getting tired of playing them by himself, and Avery had decided today seemed like a nice day to snuggle up in front of the TV for some game playing with his boyfriend.
He grinned at Timothy, tail wagging behind him as he pushed open the door - and stopped suddenly in his tracks when he saw the snake woman lounging on the couch. It took him a moment to realize who it was, and then relaxed. "Hey, Cass!" he greeted happily, trying to hide the fact that she had startled him just a moment before.

Timothy tagged along with a decent smile across his face. He didn't mind being dragged out by Avery lately. But he'd never been the video gaming type. Well not since he was younger.
He'd given up video games when he'd gotten into music. Hadn't had time, but now well it didn't matter so much. He snuggled with Avery during the walk when he noticed Cassidy.
"Ummm...oh..." Timothy shrugged and waved. He didn't know this person but she was defintly odd. He looked at the feathers that went down the arms. He noticed Avery greeting her as 'Cass' and didn't want to be rude. "I'm Timothy." He offered his hand as a gesture of greeting.

Cass peered up, and guiltily squished herself up the couch to take up a little less space. It would seem that this was not a good place to read without being interrupted. "Er. Hi Avery." She smiled faintly and set her bookmark in between the pages and the book on what could be called her lap.
She stretched over to shake Timothy's hand. He looked almost skunky... well, there were stranger animals to be turned into. "Nice to meet you. I'm Cassidy." He was taking it refreshingly well! This was good, especially if he really was a skunk.

"Errr, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt," Avery said when he noticed her book - although he didn't give her a chance to say if they had been interrupting or not, and sat down on the couch once she had made room. He looked a little surprised when Timothy and Cass greeted each other. "So you guys haven't met before? It seemed like you both have been here for a while and all..." But when he thought about it, Avery was meeting new people all the time - changed and not.

"Nope... but when I got here I was kind of... reclusive." Timothy really still was, except around Avery. "That was before meeting you and all." Timothy turned back to Cassidy a sly smirk on his face.
"Hey Cassidy..." Timothy said in greeting, but finding himself interested in Avery's statement. "How long have you been here? If it's okay to ask?"

"I can be pretty reclusive, too," Cass admitted. "I'm sure there's lots of people I haven't met." She folded her hands on her book, attempting to look non-threatening.
She took in Timothy's glance to Avery without comment. Hadn't Avery mentioned, with surprising openness, being bisexual...? Were they...? Uh, wow.
"I guess I've been here about ten months." Her forehead creased slightly. "Which I think is almost as long as anyone has been around. I could be wrong, though. Too long, anyway."

Ten months... Avery chewed on his lower lip a little as he thought. He knew he hasn't been here nearly that long, but... he wasn't sure exactly how long he actually has been here. It felt like he had no sense of time sometimes; if it weren't for the clocks, he would be really lost. What day was today? Wednesday? Saturday? What month was it? He had no idea anymore - he wished Dr. Frost would give him the calendar she promised soon.
"That's a pretty damn long time... I haven't been really keeping track of how long I've been here. I have no idea," he shrugged. "Guess it doesn't really matter though."

"About nine myself... I think. Small island for us not to have met each other by now though. Avery's right." He shrugged and gave a smile. He leaned up against the couch.
"I really hope we aren't impossing too much." he shrugged getting nervous again. "We could leave." he wanted to be nice. But he had to admit himself that Cassidy's appearance was bizarre. The worst thing he'd had to deal with was Joliette with a few scales.

Cassidy looked surprised. "That long? Wow. I guess I really do need to get out more." She shook her head. "I think I might've been keeping better track that some people. But I have to know..."
She looked up abruptly. "You're not imposing. It's a public room. I wasn't doing much." She shrugged. "Although I can leave if I make you nervous, because hell, I make myself nervous. I mean, I can read anywhere. It's okay. Really, it is."

"Nah, you can stay if you want! Hey, maybe you could even join us? We were going to play some video games - I'm sure they've got a three player game around here somewhere we could play." Avery glanced up at Timothy and smiled, leaning his head against him a bit.
"Or we could do something else. Like... um... a movie?" he suggested.

"No, you don't make me nervous. The feathers are pretty..." Timothy felt dumb as soon as he said it. Atleast he'd tried to make it a compliment.
"I'm up for anything but... just nothing sappy." Timothy looked around the room his eyes dwindling over the Guitar Freaks game. It wasn't three player, but it looked neat to him.
Of course, he wasn't going to make the decision. Plus he didn't want to exclude their new friend.

"Either's okay by me. Although I suspect most of the three-player games are going to be, um. You know, first person shooters." Cassidy laughed a little. "I don't know about you, but I'm not very good at those."
She smiled rather shyly at Timothy. Any sort of compliment was definitely appreciated these days. "I guess I hadn't thought of them that way, but thank you."

"Oh, yeah, that's a good point," Avery said, wrinkling his nose. He didn't like first person shooters. "I suck at those too. Well movie it is then!" He stood up off the couch and went over to the shelves, looking over the DVDs. "Er... what kind of movie do you guys like? I'm not really in the mood for sappy, either."
He had noticed that Timothy was eyeing the Guitar Freaks game, but he knew it wasn't multi-player. He would just come here with Tim later so they could play it.

Timothy reached and grabbed Kinsey off the shelf. "It's got Liam Niesan? You know... Qui Gon Jinn guy." he shrugged. He hadn't seen it, it looked interesting though and the cover mentioned talking about sex.
"What do you think guys?" Timothy held the movie up for them both to see. He read the back while they looked it over.

"Well, I like Liam Neeson," Cass said doubtfully. Qui Gon had only been just about the best part of The Phantom Menace. "I don't think I've heard of that movie, though. I guess I'm game. What's it about? Not mushy?"
She was really not in the mood for romance.
"Really, I mostly watch science fiction. And the odd comedy."
