Awen frowned when there was no responce to her call. Maybe it was just Chubbs, or another islander stumbling around trying to find everything. Maybe they hadn't heard, or didn't know how to respond to the intercom yet. Awen imagines this huge counsle with lots of flashing lights and buttons and a big screen, with Chubbs standing slack jaw looking up at the screen, hearing Awen but too confused by the mass of button to know where to start.
But wait a second.
Joliette said there was food in the cafeteria. Awen sniffed the air but she couldn't catch much. Her sense of smell had been dulle in the last change and all she could smell currently was the chocolate bar and the musty smell...and body odor, but who was counting anymore? No. If the cafe was up then there had to be staff.
She buzzed again.
"Hello? Moreau? Sabin? Err..Au-Audrey?" She had never formally met the woman so didn't quite remember her name.
She krept pressing the button again and again. "Helllooooo?"
Frowning when still there was no responce she turned back to the others. "Okay this is kind of creepy. Like...horror movie creepy." Not accounting for the fact that there were part human part creature people walking around the island and she was a mutant fish thing, of course.

Her forked tongue flicked once more as she looked at hte bag "All right, thanks" she says reaching and sticking her sharpclawed fingers into the bag pulling some out onto her hand "I'm Joliette" she replied quietly, saying her distinctly french name in her thick British accent. She gave a weak smile. "Awen, I don't think they are answering, it's still pretty quiet dispite the power on"

Avery watched as Awen tried using the intercom, receiving no answer from whoever those people were she was trying to contact. "So... what... the lights and stuff just came back on by themselves?" Avery wondered; should he be surprised or not? Here he was, sharing candy with two women who were part animal... would weird things like power coming back on by itself really be that strange in comparison?
"Well... maybe they just stepped out to get some food, too?" he suggested. The last thing he wanted to think about was horror movies on an island like this.

Awen frowned a little bit and shook her head. "I've never seen staff...besides the cafeteria lady... in the cafe before. And sure maybe the lights came back on by themselves. But food starting to cook by itself? I don't know...."
She grabbed another chunk from her chocolate bar and threw the wrapper in the garbage. She moved slowly to the door and looked out. "Well whatever... we can figure it out later.... For now I've got a comfy bed with my name on it."
She glanced between the two slowly. "I mean yay the powers back and all but comfy sheets is the best thing after all this. Besides I don't want to deal with this....horror movie right now. Course..." She laughed. "If this were a horror movie I'd probably be the first one to be bumped off." She grinned a bit then just melted it to a smile. "You guys can join me if you want? Er... in hte sleep thing not the ..dying..thing."
She blushed a little bit. "Just cuz er....Avery you don't have a bed...and Joli if you don't want to be alone..."

Joli shook her head "No, I want food, and my darkroom... thanks for the offer though" she looks at Avery "I'll show you where it is if you want" her voice was still quiet "candy is nice... but I need real food"

Avery felt torn... real food, or sleep? He wanted both, badly... as well as a shower. "It's a touch choice... I think I'm going to go with sleep though, I'm pretty tired..." He had only just woke up not long ago, but he actually hadn't been sleeping for that long. Having to watch Colche's transformation was very stressful and nerve wracking. He hoped he wouldn't have to watch anyone else transform, either. "Thank you for the offer, though, Joliette," he smiled at her.

Awen nodded to Joli then again to Avery. "Alright then. I guess I'll see you tomorrow Joli? We can hook up and go tell the others, if they hadn't come back by then. And hey! Pancakes tomorrow! If they don't make 'em I will!" She grinned a little bit. "Sound good to you two?"

After filling up (thoroughly!) Colche sat at the table for a little while. She wondered, would the duplexses be open? She didn't wonder this for very long though. She felt so sleepy and now taht her belly was ful she remembered her aches and pains. Her spine was still sore, the base of ehr tail painful. Pouting a little she slipped from the bench and curled up on her side beneath the table, her tail curling around one leg as she closed ehr eyes. A little nap wouldn't do any harm before she went back to her duplex. To think much more than that was beyond her for already she was fast asleep, her blue eyes closed to the world. At last, she was fulla nd happy again, the island was back to the way she liked it.

Joliette nods to both "All right... Uhm you'll probably find me int he darkroom.... it's the darkest duplex here" she motioned #28 down the way and stepped away from the door "Sleep well guys" the komodo woman says with one last flick of her tongue before turning and trudging away heading towards the boarded up duplex

"God, pancakes sounds like heaven," Avery sighed happily just thinking about it. He waved goodbye to Joliette when she left, and then he turned to look at Awen. "Thanks for letting me stay here tonight, I appreciate it..." he glanced around the room, wondering where he would sleep. "Do you want me to sleep on the floor, or share the bed?" Avery smiled. "I don't mind either way... it's just nice to not be outside for once."

She shut the door slowly and grinned hearing Avery's exclaimation about pancakes. One of her absolute specialties were pancakes. She started for the bed before realising she could finally change into something other than self made jean shorts and a dirty old top. She smiled and walked over to her dresser as Avery asked the question.
She waved her hand dismissively. "No no, you can stay in the bed. It's a lot nicer, warmer. And um...besides.... Rex er..thought..." She glanced over her shoulder. "Aren't you....?" She shook her head and grabbed some pyjamas from her drawer. "Well it doesn't matter anyway. Um if you want to change into something dry.... I mean this might sound weird, but you can borrow some of my PJs? They probably won't fit perfect but er.... better than soppy wet stuff."

Avery blinked, confused for a moment. "Rex thought what... oh!" he laughed a bit. "Yeah, kind of, I guess. I mean, I suppose you could say he's half right?" He shrugged. Was Rex going around telling everyone he was gay..?
"Thanks, I'd love to borrow something dry." He bent down, pulling off his shoes and placing them over by the door, so as not to track dirt futher into the room. He walked over to Awen and peered into her drawer. "I'll wear whatever you can spare, I don't mind what it is."

When Avery offered to wear whatever a few rather humourous things came to mind as she shuffled through her clothes. But she would never go through with that and just rummaged with a smirk on her face. "Ah..." She found her pair of relatively unisex pyjamas. A navy blue long sleeve top and with a pair of blue striped pants. "I hope these are alright?" She asked offering them to the man. She gestured over to the other door. "Bathrooms in there if you like."
But Rex? He's half right? Well well well.... Awen was just finding so many open people these days wasn't she! Having already thought of Avery in some...interesting situation Awen suddenly got a flash of Rex in a similar fashion. The weirdest part was, it wasn't just something funny to appease her sense of humour. Somewhere deep down the manta grinned a little bit. It had not yet had the opportunity to deal with these sorts of things just yet. But now that it was in her head the manta made sure it stayed for awhile. The two newcomers and a 50% changeling? That would be....sweet.
A crimson tone came up to Awen's dull cheeks as she looked up at the blond, a little dazed look in her eye. What was she thinking!? She grabbed a pair of pink cow pyjamas and skooted away. "Um I'm gonna change too so..if you don't mind..." She gestured for the bathroom again.

"Yeah, those are perfect," Avery said, taking the pajamas gratefully. "I'll go change in the bathroom then," he smiled. "You just let me know when you're decent, and I'll come back out," Avery winked at her and walked into the bathroom. He shut the door and quickly stripped out of his soaked clothes (including his boxers), laying them out over the side of the bathtub so they could dry out. Avery pulled on the borrowed pajamas. They were a little small, but it wasn't too bad.
While he waited for Awen to change too, he decided to look in the mirror... Oh my god, I look terrible, Avery thought. He ran his fingers through his hair, trying to get tangles out and straighten his hair out a bit, then he turned on the sink and washed his face off. Well, at least that's a little better...
