Amaya was rather surprised at the contact from Rex, though greeted it with a tiny smile as they walked into the cafeteria. As he grabbed his food, she made a rather large salad and grabbed a smaller bowl to fill with fruit. She went to join him, though stopped once she saw a very cheetah-like face poke up out from under it. She stared as Colche climbed onto Rex's lap then called her name before scampering towards the food.
So she had change too...
She frowned, but forced a smile for the young girl. Amaya had to be strong her for. "Hello Colche, are you feeling okay?" The transformation had probably undoubtedly hurt her a lot.
Though she was snapped out of her semi-happy disposition when Kim spoke up. She spun around, her tail giving a quick lash... though it was calmed down once she realized who it was. "Oh... yeah, sure." Amaya was still very timid about her transformation, large hands placing the tray on the table. She went to sit down, but her tail was much, much too long now.
With a heavy sigh she spun the chair around and say on it backwards.

Rex was crouched over, devouring his steak when he felt a little tug at his feet, "guh?" He leaned back, still chewing, and was surprised to see Colche's head pop out from between his legs. "WHOA!" he was blasted back with shock and she crawled onto his lap, "Uh hi, Colche!" He said, eyeing her fangs nervously. Had she changed as well?
Then a another girl he'd yet to meet mosied into the cafeteria. From a distance she seemed perfectly normal, but it didn't register in his head until she walked closer that the woman had an enormous lump on her head and pinkies that reached to the floor. What the... what's she changing into? He grinned, making no comment about her appearance and said, "Of course you can sit here!" He pulled the chair next to him out, offering her a place to sit. "Th'name's Rex."
He watched as Amaya almost cleared the chair by them with a lash of her tail. Note to self, stay in front. He chuckled quietly when it dawned on his, he hadn't prayed. Rex threw his fork down on the table and bowed his head as quickly as possible, mumbling a quick prayer under his breath before ensuing with his meal.

The sound of a Jeep crunching on the gravel drifted into the village. Aubrey was in the driver's seat, looking a bit annoyed as she came into the village. She looked well rested, though she had gained back the couple of pounds she managed to swim off on the island, but it was well-covered in a beautiful Parisian outfit she sported. Her hair was pulled back in a rushed ponytail.
Moreau was definately in the dog house for this morning. She had waited up until 1m until the wine she had been sipping on the past few hours finally took over. Moreau didn't even bother showing up for bed until the wee hours of the morning, too tired at that point to even notice the special she was wearing to him to discover. AND, he had woken up, showered, shaved, and dressed before he woke Aubrey to inform her he was on his way down to the labs to start back to work.
So... once again, here she was hoping to find something to cheer her alittle. Maybe seeing Colche and passing out some European chocolate to teh islanders might work. She wondered if any of them missed her. Or even noticed she was gone.
She pulled up outside the cafeteria and hopped out, looking around for life. Why did everything seem kind of... quiet?

Colche giggled softly as she hop skipped abck to the table. She was of course as far along as Amaya, her long wn long tail almost to it's maximum length now. She padded to the table on silent, clawed paws and placed ehr tray down before replying to Amaya about her condition. "gots the owies" She stated turning around and pointing to her butt for Amaya to see her tail "Hurts..got fast though" what she meant was she could run, really fast now. She sat slowly back next to Rex,careful to sit so that ehr tail hung over the edge of the bench being careful, her tail bone was still aching from her transfromation but tiwas really the only painful spot, the rest opf her tranfsformation had been mostly fur and mucle which simply ached like she had done alot of hiking for a few days.
Food made it better though and she even made an effort to hold a knife and fork for her friends to see. Colche had never had to use a knife and fork before she came to the island but she had leared, though she didn't always remember she was supposed to. As luck would have it, the Cafeteria lady had cut her steak up ready for her so she only had one thing to do. Taking a reminder from Rex she remembered what Father Stewart had taught her and placing her hands to gether she stated "Thankyou Aubrey" before spearing a peice of steak from her plate and chewing it happily. Steak was good, Chocolate cake was better but a part of her desired the red, though cooked, meat so she ate it, happy that it would fill her shrunken belly.

"Thank you." She smilled, nodding at them before turning to go get food... She visibely thought it was more polite to ask first.
Hmm... A steak would be good... Or a lasagna... But then her eyes felt on... sushi ? And she had an urge... But it was fish ! RAW fish, what the hell !!! But the damn rolls seemed to have an "Eat me" sign on them, because for some reason her brain seemed stuck on it. Nothing else seemed appetizing... Sighing, she gave in and took them, as well as chopsticks... Hell, if she was gonig to eat asian... With a little cup of sweet and sour sauce, another of soy sauce, and a sugar free cola. Hmmm...
She made her way back to the table and sat beside Rex, staring ratter akwardly at the sushi again for a moment before Aubrey came in. She couldn't remember ever having seen this person... Hm.

"Oh well, I'm sorry Colche. My tail hurts too." Amaya forced another smile for her, watching her eat a little before digging into her own salad. She paused for a moment, head turning to look outside. Did she just hear a... car? Green eyes stared at the door, the food in front of her forgotten for now.

Rex, too, looked to see the Jeep outside. So there actually were people here... with cars! But people with cars meant that they most likely worked here. Did they know he was in the cafeteria and were coming to inject him?! His heart pounded just a bit faster while he stared, chewing, out the window.
His attention was diverted by the adorable Colche once more, Now there's a prayer for yeh. Rex stifled a laugh and continued eating, but... who was Aubrey, anyway?

Aubrey could hear a few people in the cafeteria so she headed in there first.
She opened the door with a smile and a wave, though the overwelhming attitude of the place seemed... off.
"Colche!" was her first reaction, dropping her duffle bag of goodies and opening in her arms to her. But as soon as the words were out of her mouth, she noticed she looked...different. What the hell? SHE alone was in charge of Colche's development...how the hell did she change? Who could have possibly had her access codes to her files except Moreau..and he had been with her. She tried to surpress the anger in her eyes from Colche, but her jaw muscled flexed on her face.
Taking a second glance around the room she noticed... well, to be honest, they all kind of...smelled. And looked...really dirty. And Amaya... oh god. She hadn't been aware anyone would be changing while Nick was away, but she definately had. And not for th better, the poor girl.
Then her eyes settled on Rex and her eyes narrowed. Now just who in the hellwas THIS?

Colche was up from her seat before you could say jack rabbit. Showing that, well known cheetah speed she pounced aubrey with a loud shout "Aubrey!" she held tightly to the older woman and started to gabble a whole load of nonscence "thinkeddeadwithblackbirdwentboomoutsidelotsnrainnallnotnicewiththenofoodins" She gabbled this so fast perhaps Aubrey wouldn't understand a word of it but it was probably her longest speach ever, despite the fact that she didn't take a breath between the words. "youback, youback, youback!" she giggled, though her giggle was strangely distorted with that happy puurr she made which rumbled deep from her chest. She was just so glad to see Aubrey back again, all her aches and pains, and even her steak were forgotten. "missed,no leavey gain, plea?" She lifted her head her blue eyes begging Aubrey not to go away again. It was bad times without her there.

Kim... setteled to looking really, really confused, and attempted to eat her sushi... Even if it was... well... raw fish. What on earth was pocessing her ?!?
The attempts at using the chopsticks where... not working very well, which frustrated her quite a bit. She KNEW how to drive chopsticks damnit, she went to asian restaurants all the time !
Reminder of her long fingers... Well oops. Maybe she should just use THEM as chopsticks... Sightly annoyed, she gave up on that for a moment and sipped from her soda, listening to the conversation around her.

Ambrose dashed into the cafeteria like a starving man who hadn't seen food in weeks - which was not too far from the truth. The scents, Hogod the scents! There was meat, meat of every array - cooked and clean and that didn't have to be killed or put over a fire.
For the moment, the other people in the cafeteria didn't matter to the bedraggled wolfman - it was all he could do to stop himself from bodily tackling the buffet bins and shoveling food into his mouth. Before even saying hello to anyone, or even really looking at anyone, Ambrose was tray-in-paw, and ladeling huge spoonfuls of meat onto his plate, spearing a big steak, and grabbing several pieces of sushi (a few were popped into his mouth rudely before taking a seat).
As he turned back to the table to take a seat, however, Ambrose just.... stopped.
SEVERAL things clicked to him at once. Colche... had changed again.... Amaya.... was that even Amaya? - was also there - covered in scales from head to tail... and... her lovely raven locks now gone. Both of them had arrived after he had - and now both of them had changed more than he.
But that didn't top the final site that stopped him cold. Aubrey?? Aubrey. She was standing there, Colche in arms, like nothing was wrong. His ears flattened to his head and a snarl met his lips as he finally goaded himself to movement and set his tray down hard next to Amaya, glaring at the confused-looking woman.
"Aubrey?!" Ambrose growled. "Where... what.... WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED?!" He snapped, confusion and hurt in his voice.

Angelina was happy to let Ambrose confront the Feral Labs lady. She had never really met her, though COlche seemed happy enough to see her. She would watch, so she just sat down with a plate full of food and took a mental inventory of everyone that was there. She swallowed nervously at Amaya... wondering if she would end up looking like that one day.

Amaya stared at Aubrey as she made her pressance known. She didn't know how to react... They had shut them all outside for months and then just came back acting like nothing was wrong? ... Though even though she didn't know the woman very well she had a hard time believing she was behind it. But why would they do something like that? Was it some stupid test? What about the two bodies? She wanted to jump into yelling and questions, but when her lips parted only a low, reptilian hiss emitted from her mouth on it's own accord.
The only thing that stopped her was the slam of Ambrose's tray next to her. She literally jumped, her tail twitching slightly behind her on the ground as green eyes looked up at him, then back to Aubrey. The iguana-girl didn't seem to even realize she had just been hissing.
Everyone else now was only backround noise, all her attention focused on Aubrey as she glared. Her tail slid behind her, back and forth as it gently brushed the ground in aggitation.

Rex tried not to stare, studying the girl that entered. She was certainly well dressed and compared to the majority of them, looked like a queen. He waved politely across the room then watched Colche zoom towards the girl and nearly take her down like a linebacker. A smile stretched ear-to-ear as he watched the adorable cheetah girl.
He watched the girl stare at her food, confused as hell. "Uh.. you like sushi too, huh?" He said, trying to strike a conversation, "Oh, what was your name, again? I seem to have missed it."
Again, his gluttonous eating was disrupted by a surprise entrance of Ambrose the wolf-man! He watched, half in horror and half impressed that he could put the food away so quickly. He almost broek into applause when he sat down, but sat quietly in utter confusion instead when he spoke to the Aubrey woman. He hadn't even noticed the other girl come in after Ambrose. If he just listened, maybe he'd figure out what the hell was going on.
