Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chubbs sniffed his way along the beach, he was trying to get use to his nose, it was pretty hard. He got the idea when he got back to his duplex, he had smelt Joliette's sweet body smell in the area and he thought he'd attempt to smell her out. He managed after a long time trying, to follow a trail he thought led to a beach. there was so many smells that kept jumping in the way. His brain couldn't syphon out the offending odors that were hampering him. Everynow and then he picked up a wiff of her smell, it was like a blind man using a cane.

Now at the beach, it was near impossible to find the smell. The salty air, sand and his own smell just wiped her scent off the map. He held onto his bruised and battered arm and looked around. There was nothing, nothing her could see. Chubbs began searching along the beach, trying to find any sign of her. And in the dark, he made it out, barely in the moonlight, a footprint. He found another nearby, and then another. The looked small enough to be her. Chubbs ran after the prints, making out what he could untill they stopped, the waves washing over the last print and eating it away. He looked up with wide eyes and panicked, had she sunk into the sea? Chubbs looked around frantically, then he caught a glimpse of something out in the water, floating way out in the ocean. He looked closely, squinting to make out anything, hoping it wasn't a corpse. Then he saw it, a body, small enough to be Joliette, floating on some board thing. Chubbs ran into the water and started swimming. He was a good swimmer for the fact he floated really well, but the water was freezing and his arm was busted up, but he didn't care, even if it wasn't Joliette, someone was in trouble.

Chubbs swam against the waves and headed towards the floating debris. It was exhausting, especially with his arm all stuffed. He dreaded it but began swimming with both arms and yelled into the water. His arm ached like crazy but he still tried. He drew closer and could actually make out Joliette, it was her! Chubbs swam harder, and stopped every now and then to wave and shout at her.

"Joliebllbbblllll... blah... stupid water"

He swam at her with burning lungs and a arm that felt like it was going to fly off, but something overrided it all.

Chubbs drew closer yet, he felt every stroke of his arm through the water, he could almost touch her but she was always just out of reach. He finally connected with her make shift raft and held on, gasping for breath as he looked at her. He twisted around till he could see her face, she looked out of it and exhausted. Chubbs was feelinf stuffed as well, but he had to get her to shore. He got behind the raft and held on, beggining to peddle his legs. The started heading back to shore slowly but surely.

" AH! son of a b***h!"

Chubbs swore when Joliette bit him, he growled and his hand turned into a fist and pulled back to knock Joliette's head off. He stopped though and blinked, the instict to fight was getting annoying. He instead pulled Joliette off his arm, she hadn't done much damage but she was obviously out of it. He pondered how long she had been out here. Chubbs was tired, but he peddled and wrestled with Joliette, trying to avoid her claws that scratched him every now and then.

" Oi!, bloody snap outa it!"

Chubbs, Joliette and the raft hit the shore, and he flopped exhausted on the beach. He lay there watching Joliette as he caught his breath, she was halucinating or something. He couldn't move his right arm, at least not his shoulder, it was impossible. He slowly got up from the sand, listening to her sing her crazy song. He grabbed her about the middle with his arm, bent down and hoisted her over his shoulder. His knee's shook some but he adjusted and soldiered towards the village and to the river where he could get her a drink.

Chubbs staggered to the edge of the water, his legs were all chaffed from the sand, friggin crotch sand. He tried not to drop too hard as his knees dropped out and he fell by the bank of the water. He slowly rolled Joliette from his shoulder and sat her down beside him. He leaned her back against him and reached out to the water, trying to scoop some in his hand. With a small puddle in his hand, he lifted it to Joliette's lips and trickled it into her mouth.

Chubbs smiled as she drank, taking a deep breath and then grinned a little, her tongue tickled. Chubbs tried his best to keep up, scooping up more handfulls of water and letting her drink from it, but she was greedy.HE held her back from almost diving in the water, she needed to calm down and take her time, if she drank to fast she may get it down the wrong hole. He kept feeding her water as long as she needed him to.

Chubbs frowned as she said ow, but he knew she'd be okay now, probably a headach and the fact she was burnt. With the thought in mind, he flopped back on the grass of the bank of the river, tired. He rested his arm on his forehead and hoped Joliette would recover soon.

Chubbs heard the words she mumbled, and smiled softly with closed eyes. She at least was giving signs of normality again, he was glad for it, and was amused she hadn't spotted him beside her. He reached up and combed his fingers through the back of her hair.

" I said I'd look out for you"

" Gonna head off with out me huh?"

He gave a weak smile and winked, reaching over to slide his hand onto hers. He was glad to have her back, specially on land. For the first time he was glad for his change, with out his nose he wouldn't have found her, and he dreaded what would have happened if he hadn't shown up. He would have reached up to hold her, but his now blue shoulder prevented him from doing so.

Chubbs started to tell the tale of everything that happened so far, he had no idea about any explosion.

" First I woke up in the jungle on a log. I figured Sabin put me there, then I decided to run back and see if ya were okay. I found that Aji lady, the pretty idian one? Anyway, she was buried in the ground. I get back to the duplex and its locked up tight, I thought I might have done something to you so i tried to ram the door down and i couldn't"

He looked down at his feet, feeling ashamed that he couldn't get to her when she could have needed him alot.

" Then I tried to get to the labs, thinking they had to have kidnapped you. The fence wasn't electrafied so I climbed it, and i pounded on the door, but no one answered. The islands got no power and it's all locked up. I tried to ram in the lab door to find you but I got no where. Then I got back to the duplex and spent like an hour trying to track you down by nose. I found ya out on the water and swam out to ya. You were all kinda outa it, lil loopy. Ya bit me too, I think ya were hungry. I finally dragged ya to shore and brought ya here, it's the only place i new of fresh water wise with access. The village is like fort knox, total lockdown"

Chubbs looked down at her arm and nodded as she spoke.

" You looked like you've been out there a while, a lil cripsy"

He just rested on the grass and closed his eyes, holding onto her hand. He was okay as long as he held it.

" I'm just resting, I need a lil while... I figure others are out there, I saw no one home"

Chubbs nodded half heartedly, he didn't want to drag his a** all the way back to the damn beach again. But he figured he would get it out of the way and sat up. With a grunt he got to his feet and edged down the bank and splashed his legs to rid it os sand, and his face to wake him up some. He had no clue where to sleep tonight, he just needed some warmth.

" Okay.. let's get it done"

Chubbs lead Joliette back to the spot he had dragged her ashore. The chunk of the boat lay there in the sand. He looked around the area, trying to figure out how to hide the piece of wood. Nearby he noticed the side of a cliff and a little indentation at the bottom. Chubbs motioned to the spot with his good arm.

" Over there?.. we can cover it"

Chubbs took the raft in one hand and began dragging it towards the spot with a huff. He finally got it there, it was annoying with only one hand. He shoved it into place and began kicking sand over it, too sore to bend down to do it.

Chubbs blinked when he heard the rumble, almost believing an angry animal was around. He raised a brow at Joliette, it looked as if sleep wasn't all she needed. Food had been the last thing on his mind, but it was a need. He looked at her stomach and then looked thoughtful.

" I say back to the river. One, people will come to drink eventually, two its got water, three, you sound like ya hungry, and I recon we can find something there"

Chubbs walked bat to the spot the were not long ago, holding Joliette's hand in his. He sat down as soon as he made it near the bank, he had a branch from a thorn bush in his hand. He wondered if Joliette wondered why he nabbed it. It was all part of his plan to get dinner.

Chubbs was quiet for a while, he broke a large thorn off his twig and sat plucking at his shorts leg with it. It almost looked like he was bored, but he had been slowly taking the thread out of his shorts on the seam. While he did that, he smacked his hand on the ground, lifted it up slowly and and with his claws pulled up a small beetle and rested it on his leg. He plucked some more until he had a long length of thread. With a reach he grabbed up a stick and tied a thorn to the thread, then the thread to the stick, and put the beetle on the end of the thorn. With a smile he dropped the thorn into the water and sat and waited with his bush made fishing rod.

Chubbs smiled as she leaned against him, he kissed her on the forehead and switched the rod to his other hand so he could hug her with his good arm. He gently rubbed her shoulder, trying to warm her up. He felt something jab his thigh and reached between them, feeling around in his pocket. Inside he found his lighter, something he forgot to take out when he went to sleep.

He flicked at it, there was fuel in it still, even after going for a swim. It didn't spark, but it had sand in the way. Chubbs blew on it and tapped it, hoping it was all clear and flicked it again. The lighter sputtered out a flame and Chubbs grinned.

" What ya say to a campfire?"

Chubbs, handed over the rod to her and awkwardly got to his feet with one arm. He also handed over the lighter and patted her shoulder.

" Tell ya what... I'll go looking to see if I can get some stuff for the fire, ya do the same, while we are at it, see if we can find some people and bring em back here"

Chubbs blinked and then smiled warmly. He couldn't help but feel like one of those movie action heroes that got the girl after saving them. He pulled her to him tightly and kissed her deeply and lovingly. He really did enjoy this.

Chubbs smiled and mm'd after the kiss, she certainly did miss him, and he missed her. He nodded in agreement and started off in the way of the duplex's

" With kisses like those, I'll be back real soon"

Chubbs opened his eyes sleepily, the ground eventually became somewhat damn itchy and uncomfortable. He looked about and yawned loudly with a long stretch in which he cringed, it started to feel nice but then the aches came in. He rubbed his eyes, trying to focus on the world around him. Chubbs spotted a pair of boddies hugging into each other, Joliette and Awen. He pondered what was happening. then taking a moment, he saw that Awen was upset. He thought about what could have made her cry, and how could he fix it. Chubbs got to his feet and made his way over. Even if he didn't know, a hug would surely help, and so he bent down and wrapped his arms around Joliette and Awen.

As the rest of the boar carcass was never actually moved, one of you may notice (on a 8+ roll on a 10-sider) that above the canopy a few large black birds have begun to circle.

About an hour later, regardless of notice, a few daring birds touch down and begin to waddle their way towards the corpse or exposed meat, nicking bites.

Chubbs sat down beside the two girls and scratched the back of his head. It was the only think he could think of at the time, he wasn't sure it was a good plan though.

"Um.. I ah...well, what I remember, ya did it in like a room or a box. Kinda hang it over sorta burning wood chips.. hmm... I'm really not to great on the process, I don't want to like poison the hell out of you guys"

Chubbs softly petted the two, he couldn't think, still a bit sleepy. He stood up again for a moment and stretched.

" Er i'll ah be right back... nature calling and all..."

With that he walked his way to get out of sight.

Lauren shook, tossing deep in dream. With a few convulsions, and after rolling around a bit she sat up suddenly, her hair a birds nest.

"Oh MY God Moreau!" She yelled out in terror, then realised that it was indeed just a dream she shook her thoughts off. "Oh sorry, weird dreams, nightmares"

Out of everyone else, Lauren could sleep like a baby on the ground because she was so used to it. It never seemed to bother her.

Chubbs hummed as he took a wizz out in the bushes, it was just some song in his head he had on his mind. He peekd around, making sure he wasn't in view of anyone. It was a habit of his to need the bathroom first thing in the morning. He wondered if this island had soap leaves. They were good in australia, you could break em up, and actually use them like soap, they even foamed up and everything. He doubted this place had em.

He was finally done and fixed his boxers and went down to the river. He took a drink then headed back to camp, wondering what to do next.

"Yeah I think I can pull it off" Lauren replied to Joli.

Lauren sleepily waved goodbye to Awen, "Don't die."

Then she noticed something, looking up Lauren pointed, "We're not the only one that wants boar to eat." She took out her knife, which was sitting close to her, admiring her attempt at stoneworking. It was actually fairly decent and might hold out the week without breaking but wasn't the best, not being very straight on the sides at all. Still it would cut.


She made a motion towards the birds with the knife like she wanted to stab them. "URRR..." Lauren grunted. "Wish I had some arrows right now."

Chubbs came back to see Awen wandering away and the girls frantically hanging about the boar. He made his way over, happy to see Lauren up and about and looking better, but what was she poking at in the air. Black birds, damn they must have a good sense of smell of something. Chubbs decided to give a hand and picked up a rock about twice the size of his fist and sent it hurtling at the birds with a growl.

Lauren gave a nod towards Joli, "I'm sure I can make jerky.. or attempt to anyway. I have this knife now to slice the meat thin enough."

Lauren watched Chubbs act with the rocks making a note to remember to use rocks from now one. Rocks and tool just weren't clicking in her head although she obviously used a few to make the knife that was currently in her hands. The birds scattered retreating for now but she knew they would be back as soon as rocks weren't flying towards their black bodies.

She went to retrieve a flat rock she had been useing as a plate, going up to the boar to cut thin slices off of it. It stunk a little, but was still decently good, and especially good enough for Lauren. She would be at this for a while, there was still tons of boar left.

Lauren also tried to skin whatever hide she could off of the boar. She tried to get large pieces but didn't really get anything large enough to make anything more than leather pouches.

Chubbs pegged a few smaller stones at the birds as they retreated, frowning at the as they took off.

" Get ya own honeysmacks"

He headed over to the girls, looking at what they up to. The seem to have everything in order, Lauren was doing a good job at cutting the meat. He knelt down near by her and looked over the boar.

" Mind if I grab up the stuff we wont eat?"

Lauren didn't even look up, dilegently cutting, "Uh, sure...." she said going back to her business. She proceeded in taking all the guts of the animal out, putting them off to her side smiling. This was total fun for her.

Chubbs stole a pinch of the meat to nibble on. He hoped he wouldn't be throwing it up later. He managed to pick up the guts and grab up the feet and tail and was half disturbed that it actually looked tasty. With that and what ever bits he could grab that were useless, he stood up.

" I'm just gonna head a tiny bit out of camp to umm.. see what I can bait up food wise... never know, might lure the birds my way"

Chubbs leaned over and whispered to Joliette.

" Um hun.. you ah mind if I borrow ya bra?.. I ah could use the elastic"

Lauren's nodded, "Should be a tiny bit useful but not much. We need something they can't tear into." She sighed. "There is so much ******** stuff to do right now. Seems like we are constantly working and not even getting our ******** fill. I hate this, never wanted to go back to it. I wish there was just some 7/11 I could steal a sandwhich or two from or some fresh dumpsters I could dive in." Lauren kept going on and on about this for awhile as she kept slicing the meat.

"I'm killing someone after all this is over." And she hoped it would be over.

Her ears perked at the mention of Chubbs needing a bra. Being in a rather bitchy mood but also being teasingly friendly, "What... turning drag on us Chubbs. I expect one hell of a show then." She smiled his direction.

Chubbs kissed Joliette's cheek, getting her to put the bra on his shoulder, and he blinked hearing Laurens comment.

" Hey... I'm more a D cup anyway, damn man boobies"

He chuckled and bent down to pick up a few large pieces of glass.

" And careful there Luzza hun, I might ask for yours next, and that'd be a good show"

He smirked and chuckled, it was only in fun, and he saluted them both and headed across the river.

She nodded over to Joliette, "I need lots of sticks around the same size and thin. Two to support the third and the supports need to be forked. I will probably need a bunch of sets, as many as you can find." She continued sliceing nearly finished.

Lauren somehow kept her cool, "In your dreams fat man." She replied. Lauren was starting to think of Chubbs as one of the community so it was alright if he poked fun at Lauren. Anyone else though, would definately get a fight.

Lauren waited for the sticks, taking the meat over by the fire and smoldering it a bit. She took a swig out of her water bottle.

Lauren nodded, "Yep, perfect. They'll do" Then proceeded to strip the bark off the stick that would be the middle one, cutting the others to the right length. "I'm going to go collect some sea water."

After a awhile Lauren left and came back with a bottle full of sea water, drenching the meat in that bottle. She set the sticks up just like she described, dangeling the semi salted meat over the fire. "Now we just wait forever, possibly all day and hope this works." But for some reason, Lauren thought it should.

"I know you hate it, but can you watch the meat, keep it away from the birds. The heat should help." Lauren picked up the pieces of hide she founds and some sticks that were left over. "I'm going to attempt something I know s**t about." She went over to the river, washing the hide and makeing it wet. "I'm going to do this out of sight, so you won't get sick." Then Lauren left to go skin and attempt to tan the hide, hopeing some of the animals head was left for her and hopeing she could do it right. She had no clue that she would only wind up with moldy skins but she left to try anyway.

Chubbs came storming back towards camp, well what was left of it. He couldn't see anybody around. He frowned and sat down by a tree, he felt tired and dirty, his stomach felt awful, like it was on fire. He really was starving pretty badly, even with the food he had eaten a while ago. He sat and waited, thinkinghow he'd eat Sabin if he was near.

Chubbs nodded and stood on his feet slowly, looking over at the corpse of the boar, he cringed at what he was about to do. Heading to the boar, he lifted up the slimey leftovers and held onto his stomach, dragging it away quickly out of the camp and waiting till he was clear before he threw up.

Chubbs dumped the carcass in the spot where the inards were, hoping it was out far enough to remove the smell. His troat burned from when he vomited, having had nothing in his stomach. Chubbs headed back, annoyed with the whole ordeal, luck with this group was very bad. He stopped at the river firt, cleaning off his hand, and then washing his mouth out and having a drink. He went back to Joliette, getting him to smile a little and sit beside her against the tree.

Chubbs saw the meat in her hand and his mouth latched onto it, taking a big bite and chewing hungrily. He looked up as he chewed then slowed slightly and looked a bit ashamed.

" Er fowwy hnn, I waf a mit ungy"

He covered his mouth and wrapped his arms around her as he swallowed and sighed, feeling the food hit his stomach. He smacked his lips, it wasn't too bad, if a little weird tasting.

Chubbs smiled and kissed the top of her head, then leant over and scooped her small frame into his lap and rested her head on his shoulder. His stomach begged for some more but he thought he could hold out if he just focused on her. He wrapped his arms around her, and smiled, because for once, he got to say it first.

" Love you Joliette"

He smiled and rubbed her shoulder softly, hoping to keep her warm. He rested his head against hers and felt like he should rest to, he was tired. He closed his eyes and tried to get some shut eye.

Chubbs was snoring deeply against the tree, it was a bit loud for the position he was in. He woke himself up with a snort, wiping the drool from his cheek and looked around, rubbing his eyes. His little lap kitten was gone, and he started looking around the camp to find her.

Chubbs looked around the whole camp, trying to find where Joliette had gone. He frowned and began calling out with his hands cupped near his lips

" Joliette!!!"

Chubbs blinks and turns around, trying to pin point where he had heard the faint glimpse of her voice. He started jogging along the river and finally saw her and his heart quit trying to leap out of his chest. He got down beside her and leaned down to see her as he patted her back.

" What's wrong?, you okay?"

Chubbs looked over, getting to his knees to see what she was motioning to. The little piglet was ravaged in some ways, he guessed Joliette's reaction was because she did it. The instincts were getting crazy, it was a ******** up thing to deal with. Chubbs took her hand and motioned her to come with him.

" Come on, lets get you back, I think I left the meat alone too"

Chubbs lead her back to camp, holding his arms about her and decided not to speak. Meat to her was horrible, almost like eating a human, he quickly moved the wrapped meat aside and out of her view as he sat her down.

Chubbs brought her into his arms and onto his lap ans her tucked the meat parcel in beside him. She was in a bit of a shock, he couldn't blame her, waking up to that would be horrible. He stroked her hair a bit and sighed.

" Our beliefs will change along with us.. I just hope you are okay"

" I know the feeling love... I do"

Chubbs looked at his claws and stared at them for a while. He didn't want this as much as she did. Chubbs felt the anger start to well up again, he was still surprised how easily that happened. He then wrapped his arms around her.

" I have you though"

Chubbs frowned and had to poke her lightly. He hated that kind of talk, he wouldn't hear it. Sure it had crossed his mind before but he'd never do it.

" You would not have, you are strong, I mean look at you. Please don't talk like that again, just think on better things."

" I'm sorry to, it's okay I well... just don't want to think about that is all."

He huggled her tightly, rubbing her back and shoulders, trying to help her to stop shaking. This place was getting to every one. including him. And he wondered if he would be worse of all.

Chubbs did his best to keep her calm and relaxed. He eyed the meat, wanting some more but knowing the smell may get to her. PLus the others should be back soon and he had to share.

Chubbs smiled happily, a little red in the face and nearly purring as he held Joliette's hand. He tugged up his waist band a little, fixing it up with his free hand and looked down at the small but gorgeous girl beside him. He almost forgot what he'd been doing out here in the first place, helping Joliette find food.

His nose, which he was still trying to get use to didn't pop up anything on the nosedar that was food worthy, but at this point in time, his hunger was overidden by a sheer abundance of infactuation.

Despite trying very hard he couldn't get all of the smell out. He'd spent a few hours at the beach but it wasn't going to come completely out. He was now a skunk that smelled like... a skunk all the time.

He walked away from the beach and made his way to the location that Awen had said. After a bit of a walk he arrived there.

Timothy had found the camp everyone supposably set up, strangely... empty? He sat near the obvious camp sight and hung out there.

He was waiting for someone to show up.

Chubbs chuckled and blushed a little at her comment. his fur turning a lil red with his skin. When he heard Joliette make a fuss over a smell, he raised a brow and like an idiot, decided to see what it was like. With a sniff, Chubbs winced and followed Joliette with the tug. Chubbs smelt something else though, it was like... food. He went towards the smell, ushering Joliette.

" Wait there's something... there"

Peering into the campsite stood a figure and he looked like.... oh man... it was him. Chubbs looked at Joliette and whispered.

" Looks like we have a guest?"

Timothy jumped up suprised "Ahhh! I mean... hey, how's it going."

He blushed a bit, though it wasn't obvious under the fur. "I'm Timothy... a... I mean I was... I mean I was trying to be a musician."

Timothy shrugged "I was pointed to perhaps come here by Awen. She said you guys... sort of have a camp. Sorry about the smell." Timothy sighed.

"I just changed and... yeah... it happened." he looked... innocent enough.

Chubbs stepped up with Joliette, he still held onto Joliette's hand. He was still a bit nervous meeting new people.

" Oh a ... hiya there.... names Chubbs.. and um this is Joliette"

Chubbs motioned to her with a smile

" Well umm the smell well... don't worry bout it okay, I mean if you can handle me being half naked ... well round ya... I think I can handle the smell.... sorry it happened ... tim was it?"

chubbs was breathing through his mouth at the time. He smelt bad himself, he hadn't had a shower in days, so he wasn't gonna be mean to this guy.

"Hey, thanks..." Timothy smiled over at Jolliette, she was right of course. He'd done more with his music here than he had actually done before. But still... a skunk musician.

"Still, good to meet you guys. I've been here for sometime." Timothy extended a clawed hand.

Chubbs took the hand and in his own clawed one and shooke it firmly. He offered a bit of a smile and hoped the guy wasn't too offended by his appearance.

" We've been here for a bit too... but ah... this camp site of ours? feels like a week almost since I woke up on log in the jungle"

Chubbs didn't feel so nervous, but he guessed that being in your underwear in front of a person has to be pretty close to the most embaressing thing to happen to you. And he seemed to be fine with it.

Timothy sympathized because he was also only wearing his shorts. He'd left the rest of his smelly clothing behind. His black and white undershorts matched him pretty well.

"Awen was nice, so I assume if she liked you guys you'd be a good place to go. Besides, I can't really... face... Vasile." Timothy said this with a half nervous look.

"I arrived with Hargun, if you guys know her. How'd you get here?" he attempted to half smile.

Chubbs had to think a little to remember the name, it took him a while, but the name eventually brought a face to it.

" Oh the bat girl!.. yeah, I ah know her a little bit, she was pretty nice. Oh and Awen is great, she seems to be pretty happy lately, glad you met her.

Chubbs considered the person Tim mentioned, wondering if it was someone he'd yet to meet. By the looks of things the name came with some problems. HE wasn't going to push it further though.

"Ahhh... I didn't really know much about him till I got here." he smiled for a moment.

"But he is cute though..." Timothy realized what he'd said and stuttured. "I mean... how is Hargun? I haven't seen her in a while."

"Wouldn't it figure I'd get social after this happened." there was a half grin there.

Chubbs chuckled a little and rubbed the back of his head with a tinge of a blush.

" Yeah I know the feeling hey... specially now, nothing gets ya closer to people than hanging about in ya undies hey?

He grinned and chuckled again and now finally realised the name that Tim and Joliette mentioned. She had told him before, he just forgot. Chubbs rose a little bit of a brow when Tim mentioned the guy happened to be cute.

"So, how'd you all end up here? I mean, Moreau had a twisted sense of irony with both me and Hargun." he chuckled.

Timothy shook his head. "I stink the stage up (litterally) and she can't draw anymore. I guess in a way I got the better end of the deal though."

"What the hell has been going on anyway?!?" Timothy realized there was a lot that was unanswered for him.

Chubbs realised he wasn't taking a breath, and so took another one. he good taste the smell on the air a bit, but it couldn't be as bad as how Joliette would feel, she smelled with her tongue.

Chubbs thought about his situation, he really didn't think he had an ironic situation. Maybe he was just dense, so he explained to Tim.

" Well I needed cash to do up a gym for some street kids, I came here for a boxing match and well, here I am."

Chubbs stroked his chin and thought more about his situation.

" Well nothing to ironic so to speak, umm... I found out I'm like three animals, a grizzly, tasmanian devil and a wolverine... nothing that would like er... well they are prone to anger... maybe that's it"

Chubbs brushed his hand down Joliette's back as he looked over Tim, his stomach rumbled a little.

" I just woke up in the jungle after sleep, the place is locked up tight and there's no staff around that I can see"

"Yeah... sort of knew that. Just wondering if anyone had found out any more info. What's going on and all." he looked around.

"If we've been locked down how did I change too. I thought we had injections for that. That's what that smell was about, I sort of, lost control during my change." he looked... very embarrased.

Chubbs walked over and patted Tim on the shoulder, Chubbs felt the change first hand, it was a terrible thing.

" I heard tomato juice or something like that gets rid of it. Pitty the cafeteria is closed... that and I'm freakin hungry"

Chubbs pulled up the back of his boxers and looked around.

" It ain't much but it's somethin, least we got water, a lil bit of food... umm and who knows.. maybe the umm musk thing will go away eventually"

"I don't wanna eat your food guys!" Timothy said, then darted his eyes. "I sort of have been surviving on bugs."

After he let it sink in he stopped and gave a soft "heh."

Timothy wasn't hungry, but he was really tired. You could see it in his face and expression. This whole ordeal had really taken a lot of out of him.

Chubbs grinned and motioned to the ground, it'd have to do. He really wished he had blankets, even with his fur, Chubbs was feeling the cold.

" Pull up a spot boyo, ya welcome to anything , I mean ... err... just quit being stubborn and eat something"

Chubbs gave a grin to show he was just messing with the guy, but his teeth probably didn't help the situations. Chubbs realised he should be taking a page out of his own book, he was getting paler each day, and lighter. Even though his desire to Joliette wwas strong, it wasn't like it use to be, it scared him.

Timothy chewed on a little bit of jerky, but very soon felt the tiredness overcome him.

"Hey, if it's okay with you guys, I'm just gonna go lay down." he felt embarrased, and that he was being a little rude, but he needed the sleep.

Timothy curled up a bit, the tail sticking out obviously and very soon was very fast, and very quietly asleep.

Chubbs nodded to Tim as he headed down to take a kip, He didn't blame him, even with all the small bouts of sleep he was having, he was getting more and more tired.

Chubbs walked over towards Joliette and wrapped his arms around her, leaning down to kiss her lips and whispered.

" I probably smell just as bad with out a shower"

He really needed one, and a shave, his beard was getting bigger and he hated being so fuzzy, funny that.

" Could do with a kip myself"
