Great, now she was more concerned over Rex getting his damn injection?! Amaya's breathing became labored, the tears spilling from her eyes. These people didn't give a damn about any of them. Why would they? Each and every one of them was torn from their homes and stripped of their humanity. She should have expected them to not care.
Finally she broke down. Tears spilled from her eyes as she sunk to a crouch, large hands covering her eyes. "I couldn't! I collapsed before I could get back to camp! And- and- they put me by the corpses!" Another strangled sob and sniff. "They probably put that poor rat-bird thing so Greer and I would havta kill it too!" Things began to click together for her as she sat there sobbing, her tail having ceased it's lashing and now lay limply behind her.

In response to Aubrey, "No, not shipwreaked. I actually fell over board on a cruise liner a few nights ago with another man. We both woke up on the beach here, but you're the first person I've seen who works here. And I haven't been injected yet, for all I know. This is the first time Ive ever been in the village or eaten actual food here on the island."
If she held such a high position here, why wouldn't she have been informed about everything going on. And Moreau, the head honcho, was gone as well... He was bound to have known what was going on. Things were so confusing.
What was all of this about corpses and a helicopter? Perhaps this was a very elaborate and slightly morbid joke. Changes without injections, bodies and a charred helicopter. The people that run this place are jacked up...

"Oh. my. GAWD." Not the most professional response, but certainly all she could muster up. Her arrival back to paradise just kept getting worse and worse. "Look, I have no idea what happened... or what's going on. But I'm going to find out." She didn't know else to do, but she felt she was either going to get attacked or made even more of a fool if she stayed.
She pulled up the dufflebag which, when opened, had gift bags for every islander except Colche (she had her own duffle bag). They were filled with expensive perfumes from Paris, lots European chocolates and other sweets, and some unique articles of clothing. Aubrey didn't want to rub it in their faces that she was off seeing the world, so there were no postcards or pictures... but she just wanted to bring them back something special. But even that was ruined. She just unzipped the dufflebag wordlessly after it was dropped on the table, then she collected Colche in her arms and took her to her Jeep.
She was so confused, angry, and frustrated she had to blink back tears. She left Colche in her duplex with a chocolate bar and woke her just enough to tell her she would be back after she helped the others. Time to go find Nick.

Ambrose watched worldessly as he saw Aubrey's ire ignite as she was given more of the information. At least, it felt, they had someone on the staff who was sympathetic. It made sense though, he supposed, if something like this really was planned by the staff - with what he knew of Aubrey she would never have agreed to it. Hopefully her ire would help them.... somehow.
He finished the rest of the food on his plate, his stomach finally gurgling happily as it was full for the first time in a Loooong time.
A whine slipped out of his throat as he tried to comfort amaya by rubbing his hand along her back. "shhh... Kiddo... I'm sorry.... the duplexes are open... Aubrey's going to find out what happened.... we can eat... take a shower... and... we'll look after you."
He looked over to Angelina, a small questioning look before continuing. "I am going to go take a well... well needed shower - with all of my fur I'm sure that I'm not a happy smell to you. But... if you like.... and if Angelina doesn't mind, you can stay in our duplex for a bit if you like? I was just about to head back."

Angelina didn't mind Amaya or anything, but she was definately ready for some -real- alone time with Ambrose. But the poor girl was obviously upset and Angelina tried to swallow the paralyzing fear she gave her.
She felt bad, it wasn't anything personal, but Amaya did nothing for Angie expcept illustrate what might be her future. Or worse. "Sure thats fine," she finally said, with a tight-lipped smile.

Amaya rubbed at her eyes with her fists and could only nod to her older brother's offer. Luckily for her she was dirty, but oddly... didn't smell very bad. Aside from the lingering stench of lizard. Things seemed to be a little on the less smelly side when you didn't have any sweat glands. She didn't notice Angelina's hesitance, though if she did she would have definatly declined the offer.

Aubrey had left and hopefully that would remove most of the tension and confusion in the air.. or just cause more. Now that Colche was gone, Rex got up and ran over to comfort Amaya with Ambrose as well. He rubbed his hand up and down her back like he had the night before.
Then he looked it Ambrose, "I haven't had a chance to talk to you since that morning on the beach. Thank you for your efforts in trying to get me off the island, it.. really means alot." He was sincerely thankful for the man, he certainly had a way of being the peacemaker. Rex's smile truned upsidedown, "But... I've seen my name on a duplex door. It looks like I'm here to stay."

Ambrose also missed Angelina's hesitant look - only catching her agreement.... he did still smell the scent of fear from her, but didn't correlate it to Amaya. In Ambrose's mind, nothing was less dangerous than some of the other islanders like Amaya and Colche, despite their appearances. She had accepted him as a wolf, and didn't catch that that fear might be associated with one of the other islanders.
"It will be alright, Angelina." He said to her as well. "I can't wait for that hot shower and soft bed." He smiled dreamily as he got up and offered the two girls a hand.
"Amaya... you're welcome to use our shower after we do... or you can meet us back in the duplex after you use yours."
He turned to the other man, nodding. "I'm sorry I couldn't help more... believe me. The rains came at a very bad time.... assuming that a ship would have seen our signal fire from whereever it was anyway..." He shook the man's hand. "And your name on a door already...?" This seemed to corroborate with what Aubrey said about staff being htere... how else would they know his name and react this fast. "I... I wish you best of luck, Rex. If... well, if you need anything, we'll be around. I'm in duplex 1."

Gradually the iguana-girl started to calm down. Her hands dropped to her lap and she sniffed, about to take a deep breath in but instead erupted into a hoarse cough. It seemed Colche wasn't the only one who had gotten sick.
She took Ambrose's hand and stood up, wiping her tears away again before finally speaking up. "I'll take a shower in mine first." Green eyes looked back down at her untouched food, her appitite having completely faded.

A small smile curled the corners of Rex lips, "It's good to know that I'll always have you guys here behind me. But it looks like I'm just going to have to accept my place here. Who knows, it might be the place for me to be 'til the end." He didn't dare bring up the whole 'fate' talk rolling around his head. but he believed that if it was meant for him to get off the island, he would. The world played out at your fingertips. "1? That's easy to remember. I'm in Duplex 35." He came to his feet and cleared everyone's plates from the table, "I'm guessing you're all done."

Ambrose smiled as Rex gathered the plates. "Thanks, Rex. And... I'm glad to hear that it sounds at least like you're doing alright, all things considered. Enjoy, and I'll see you around."
He turned to Amaya, and patted her on the shoulder again. "That sounds fine. I'll meet you back at the duplex." He gave her a quick hug and then turned to the exit.
With a smile, Ambrose led Angelina back towards Home Sweet Home, with a huuuuge smile of relief on his face, eager for the shower.

"I'm in number 20." Amaya replied to Rex, watching him and then Ambrose as he left. She nodded to him, then turned her attention back to the man she just barely met, but enjoyed so much already. "I'm sorry about everything Rex but... Thanks for everything. Come by my duplex if you ever need anything or just to talk okay?" She forced a tiny smile before pushing her chair back into place. "I'll catch you later." And with that she slowly made her way out of the cafeteria and to her duplex.

He made a mental note of the duplex numbers and waved good bye to Ambrose. Then said in a quiet voice towards Amaya, "Sure thing, girl. Any time..."
He cleared the plates and walked the road to Duplex 35 for the first of many, many times to come.

(( New RP ))
After sleeping in - very late - Avery woke up alone in the bed in Awen's duplex. He stretched on the bed and it suddenly hit him how hungry he was. When was the last time he ate anything? How long ago was it..? His stomach growled and Avery rolled out of bed, deciding on priorities - food first, then shower, then find a place to clean his clothes. For now, he would just have to wander out in the pajamas (navy blue long sleeve top and a pair of blue striped pants) he was borrowing from Awen. He borrowed Awen's hairbrush again, brushing out his hair real quick before leaving the duplex.
Glancing around his surroundings, Avery realized he didn't know where the cafeteria was... Well, standing around wouldn't help him find it. He decided to walk around the buildings until he was able to find it, or run into someone who did know where it was.

((MASSIVELY time elapsed. Meaning, before most of this. Emer fell far behind. Forgive the interjection.))
The sun was threatening to rise by the time Emer had gotten herself up, eaten something, for she had hardly allowed herself to eat much anymore, and made it to the village.
It was impossible. After all this time... It was back? Just like that? But... how?
Had, had he returned from the dead?
She was right after all... She didn't know whether to be relieved or upset. Even though she would never wish death upon another living being... How could she think like this? It mattered not who this man was.
Now, would everything be forgotten? The way it was before... all of this. Would they all just fall back in?
No.
Emerwyn made no attempt to enter any buildings. She merely walked slowly through the village, past her door.
Past Ian's door.
Past Julian's door.
Each one flooded memories back into her head.
Bursting out of Ian's room after she had kissed him.
The apprehension she had felt the first time passing through the door to Julian's room.
She would not reenter her room, even if she could once more.
The caferia was open.
No. She liked the food from outside better anyway.
She made it to the other end, where it led once more into jungle.
She remained on the edge, curled up against a tree, and fell back into sleep.
((End interjection. XD))
