"I haven't heard of that either, but I'm all for Liam Neeson," Avery agreed with a grin. "If it's not sappy, I say just pop in the DVD and we can be surprised!" He settled back down on the couch next to Cassidy, leaving room on his other side for Timothy to sit down.

Timothy looked at the back briefly. "Says he plays a scientist studying human sexuality." Timothy shrugged and dropped the DVD into the player. Then he sat back and taking the remote, skipped the menu and hit play.
Timothy snuggled up with Avery and sat back to enjoy the movie...

---New rp---
Kim was literally on a mission.
After somehow scrambeling the courage to drag herself out of her duplex, and finding the entertainment room soothingly empty, the small woman took it over like a storm. Almost literally. Books where piled closeby, in a messy heap that would have made an ocd person get the fits of their lifetime. The tower of book also had the slight advantage of mostly hiding her from view for anyone who might enter. As stupid as it was, Kim was still scared that people might freak out.
She sat there, trying to forget her 5th finger existed as she turned the pages of the book that laid open in front of her akwardly.
She wasn't leaving this room without an idea of what she was supposed to be, spamitall.

Cassidy had come by the entertainment room to return a few of the snake books she'd borrowed; there was only so long she could stand to have brightly coloured photos of snakes staring her in the face. But this, she kept telling herself, was good for her. Yes.
She slithered into the room, taking care not to shut the door on her tail, and turned to face the room properly... and saw a mess of books, with some movement behind them. For a moment, Cass was too baffled to properly respond to this; she could, however, pick up a definite heat source there (even if it was a cold-blooded one), and after a quick tongue flick to place the scent--
"... Kim? What're you doing back there?"

Kim had been so absorbed into her reading that she had not heard Cass enter at all, until she spoke. The small woman almost jumped, but then seemed to calm down. It was Cass.... It would be okay... right ?
Thus, she peeked almost meekly from the front of the tower of books. "Oh, hey Cass. Im... reading, mostly."

Something about Kim's appearance did not seem right. "Fair enough," Cass said. She made her way over to the bookshelf, and shoved the books into a convenient gap.
"Er. Are you okay back there?"

"Yeah. Well... mostly." She admitted after some hesitation, pushing some of the pile away to make things less akward (and because the tower looked like it was going to topple over sometime soon. Thanksfully, her new skin tone did well to sightly hide the bit of embarassment and shyness she was feeling.

Cassidy stared for a moment, stunned; her tongue flickered again.
"Oh. Oh, wow," she said, and immediately regretted it. She added hastily, "Um, taken a bit by surprise there. Sorry."
She slithered over, and peered over the books. Judging it might be safest to change the subject, she said, "What's with all the books?"

"I- It's okay. Really. I reacted worse, I think." ...This was going a bit better than she thought.
"Well... Im pretty much trying to hide this charade and figure out what im supposed to be turning into, while avoiding to ask the staff up front." She sighed. "But I kinda feel like I am looking for a needle in the middle of a wagon of hay, if you get what I mean..."

"Well, I wish I could help," Cass said. She settled herself down nearby with a slight ruffle of feathers. "I think it's best to know that sort of thing. I went and asked them outright, because I figured there wasn't any way I'd ever figure it out on my own. But, um. Honestly? I have no clue about yours. Do you have any ideas?"

"Well... it's some kind of reptile. My skin of of has that beaded feel." God god god this was so AKWARD to say... "Ill'd assume not a snake since my feet havn't done anything freaky... Well asside growing claws and not fitting in shoes anymore." She mutted. "Im convinced they're wings now." She motionned to her hands, and the webbing. "...There's alot of things that stand out so I think I might have a chance to at least narrow the options."

Cass grimaced a little. "I guess your hands do look like wings... So, um. Reptilian and winged and clawed. That's... hell." Again, a thoughtful tongue flick. "I really don't know. I think I said once, or maybe I only thought it, that you could be some sort of hybrid? But I don't know..."

"I don't know, I... don't think it's an hybrid. It's crazy, but that's the impression im getting." If it was, wouldn't I have two voices in my head or something ?
However, that thought sparked another, a reminder of a memory.
Why should I be there ? I shouldn't be there.
...
Kim darted then, careful not to topple any books in the process, visibely not caring for putting anything away just yet, again gathering a few books... this time on instinct species, and dinosaurs.
"Im quite obiviously crazy, but..." She said as she setted back beside Cass and attacked the first book on the pile, starting to flip through the pages and dismissing the obivious.

"I don't know about voices in your head," Cass said, doubtfully. She moved a bit to see the pictures better. "There's your, um. Head thing. Crest. Sorry, there's really no tactful way to say that." She coughed bashfully. "But that's got to narrow it down some."

"Yeah..." She answered, putting the book asside and taking another, flipping until she got to a certain page, and stared almost blankly at the glossy photo that the open book gave her.
Head bump ? Check. Claws ? Check. Wings ? Check. Even the markings seemed similar.
The creature in question was a pterodactyl.
Sillently, she turned to look at Cass, as if asking if she was completely batshit crazy for even pondering it.
