Zach finished the rest of his burger. "Yeah... but adventure comes with a pretty big price."
"French? Interesting... Fencing sounds like it's very unusual. I didn't here much about it even before I ended up here." He moved his plate carefully to the side a little bit with his hand. "Well, the fast food industry is pretty disgusting, you wouldn't have worked there no matter your other option, hm? At least... not knowing what you do now."
"You are probably right, there is something more to life than just living. But we'll likely never know what that purpose is." He looked up at the ceiling. "To each his own about that though. I'm always wary of spiritual belief."

Ambrose nodded, chewing down the last bite of meat that he polished off at a remarkable pace considering the amount of food that was on his plate when he first sat down.
With a grin he regarded Zachary. "You know... if you ever have any desire to learn -I'd be happy to teach you. Ironically, now that I think about it, this might be one of the only sports your missing arm might be an advantage - as you can't really use your offhand anyway, and you wouldn't have the impulse to try to use it." He grinned. This was the first time the arm was even mentioned by the wolfman.
"And... This is true - discussions on religion can end up pretty fierce... I try to keep my nose out of them as well if at all possible... Again, I'm not heavily religious - and I almost never really leant a great deal of thought to it, but when there's not much else to do - your mind wanders."
He stood up, picking up his tray. "Anyway, I should probably head back - it was nice meeting you, Zachary." He smiled, waving as he bussed his tray and headed for the exit.

He was surprised to hear of a sport where he'd be at an advantage for once. "Oh, I may - I just don't think I can stand to look at those fencing swords being pointed at me right now." They reminded him far too much of shot needles. And shot needles reminded him of how desperately he had to find a way off the island.
Zach waved Ambrose off. It was still a long day ahead... Zach had yet to see the caves here. He figured doing an inventory of his spelunking gear would be useful. He cleared his tray, returned to his seat, and opened his notebook to scrawl something in quickly. Then, with a dismal expression, he rose to head back to his living space.

New RP
Lily, dressed as comfortably as her wardrobe had premitted in a sweater and jeans despite the warm weather, had decided it was time to get up and get something to eat. The cold she developed in their last days in the wild had gotten slightly worse rather than going away. Clearing her throat to prevent a cough, she walks into the cafeteria with the intent of finding something to eat or drink, juice sounding particularly nice.
Focussed on getting something to drink, she heads directly to where she can. She doesn't take a good look around the room since she's become less worried about running into people after running into so many in the jungles.

Sitting near the door where it indeed felt warmer to her Joliette was picking at yet another ranch doused ham salad. She looks up hearing movement and sees someone she'd not seen since a whlie before the lockout... Name... name... oh yes... Lily, the one Joliette thought was interesting...
"Hello Lily" she says quietly though knowing in the quiet cafeteria it would carry far enough for the woman to hear her. She herself was wearing hte bottoms to her black Gi and the top as well loosely tied around her, her hair was tied back in a ponytail

Lily isn't so much startled by the sound of the voice as she is by the fact her name is used, and it didn't come from a voice she recognizes right away. She turns around and spots Joliette.
"Hello," she says with a smile, though her voice is a bit scratchy, and then turns to quickly get her drink. Her mind quickly runs over what she remembers of the person, she's the one who explained the Island. The first transformed peson she'd seen.. the only one she'd outright lied to about how she got here. Joliette, her name- the name being so unique helps Lily to remember it.
She clears her throat again, taking her juice and walking over to the table were Joli is sitting.
"I haven't seen you in a long time," she says..

"Nor I you, I suppose your vacation hasn't been so hot with the lockout aye?" she says remembering the reason Lily said she'd been on the isle. "Not that anything of this place is a true vacation for any of us..." her voice was quiet, almost withdrawn, the voice of someone who would tend to keep to themselves, reserved, like she had been before coming tot he isle, but unlike last Lily had seen her...
"Did you get a cold from that horrible rain?" she asks noting Lily's scratchy voice

Lily is immediately thankful that she remembered quickly that she'd lied to Joliette about why's she's here, she's not sure how well she could recover from the mention of vacationing if she didn't remember.
"Not really," she agrees, sitting down and taking a sip of her juice. She does notice the change in Joliette's voice, she doesn't sound much like a person who would outright warn a newcomer of what's going on on the Island right now.
"I did, I'm glad the doors all unlocked after the rain stopped though," she says with a slow nod, knowing it'd be dreadful being stuck outside with a cold. "You managed alright during the rain?" she asks, thinking about how the rain had affected Amaya even though Joliette doesn't look quite as scaly as she had.

"I survived the lockout I suppose, but at the same time... It wasn't a good experience, especially losing control" she admits and looks down at her salad pushing it waround a bit with her fork. "The rain was cold, but I guess I can thank not being fully coldblooded yet... " she smiles weakly about that "I'm glad everything opened again too..."

Lily looks at Joli, nodding carefully along with what she says until she mentions loosing control- where she winces slightly. After the experience with Colche, control was her major worry- she has no idea what she's changing into or what she'll have to worry about controlling when the time comes that she changes as well.
"The rain was pretty cold," she agrees, not sure what else to say about the coldblooded comment because of the word 'yet,' though she's glad it's not exactly the same idea as loss of control.
"Any ideas why we were locked out?" she asks quietly, remembering how someone had mentioned the explosion. It was odd to be kicked out and then suddenly be allowed back in without an explanation, though she didn't worry so much about it, happy to be back inside. For all she knows, she'd missed an explanation.

Joliette shakes her head "No ideas, though I haven't run into any of hte long time islanders save David and Awen to get their thoughts about it, though if it's a cruel joke theres only one gormless arse I know of who is THAT cruel" she scowls which in turn reveals her very sharp row of teeth.
"Were you alone during the lockout?" she asks quietly wondering just how many of the group were alone in the jungle

Lily frowns, "If it was a joke it was awfully extreme, and risky- people could really have gotten hurt. It is weird that we all ended up outside, though. I woke up on a roof, what about you?"
She hasn't really thought through it all, but a joke of some kind seems likely. If something happened, how had she been moved to a roof? How had it been assured that everyone had been put outside? If the Island just shut down, why would everyone be locked out? She eyes Joli's sharp teeth briefly, before looking back up and shaking her head to the next question.
"I was alone for quite some time, but then I ran into Colche," she explains, stopping to cough and clear her throat before continuing, "I didn't find a camp until after the rain started, and I wouldn't have found it if I hadn't run into some people."
She pauses, "I think someone mentioned you had a camp with some other people, so you weren't alone, right?"

"I was on a piece of my yacht several hundred feet out from shore, but not so far that the current didn't bring me back... That on it's own seems like a cruel joke to me." She sighs and picks up a chunk of ham and pops it in her mouth chewing a couple times before swallowing the ranch-dressing covered meat. "As for camp, I had one for the first half, and then I left camp to go... hunting... and didn't return to it, was in Ambrose's camp for a very very short time several days later, and then wandered again until Emerwyn found me and she helped me find a cave shortly before the power came back on..."

Lily frowns, "That does seem mean just by itself.." she trails off, thinking about it. She clears her throat again, but it doesn't prevent a cough this time. Taking another drink, she listens to the explanation of camp.
"Ambrose's camp is where I was before the power came on," she says, "And everyone I ran into in the jungle mentioned Ambrose, I think you mentioned him when we first met- didn't you? He's mentioned so often, but I've never actually seen him."

"He spends a lot of time with his girlfirend I think... He's a pretty nice guy" she says "You can't miss him if you see him, he's a wolfman, one might think he's farther along then he is, I think he's 50% or least he was last I saw him..." She was quiet for a moment "I would have stayed at that camp... but I didn't trust myself around others at the time" she added even more quietly
