A toe-less lizard? Oh, yes, that was making him feel loads better, as incrediably unlikely as it was. Who ever heard of such a thing? He was already losing his feet! For Cassidy it hadn't begun until the second change, but for him...
"What 'ave I done?" he questioned, turning to Cass. ""What 'ave I done t' warrant this? This weekend--this weekend past th' World Cup began, the bloody football World Cup! An' I should've been playin' in it, but I'm stuck on some ruddy island losin' m' legs t' some ruddy mad doctor." Positively furious and more than a bit confused, he whirled around and stormed down the beach for the water, pausing only once he was up to his knees in the waves.

Cassidy exhaled slowly, set her book carefully down on the sand with just a moment's hesitation, and slithered down towards the water's edge. She had a sneaking feeling that she was maybe not the best person to be offering comfort, but hell, she was the only one here. At least she knew what it was like.
"Of course it sucks! It's the shittiest thing that's ever happened to me, I know that, and I'm guessing you agree? So screw them. Screw the doctors. Screw karma, if we did something to deserve this." She shook her head. The World Cup.... christ.

He nodded slightly in agreement, but wilted visably with her words, finally stepping back a few paces and uncerimoniously dropping to sit in the shallows. "I don't even know 'ow I got 'ere." One hand roses to hold his head, covering the smal scar that remained from his concussion wound. "I think there was a wreck.. but afterwards, I don't know. Don't know if there was foul play, or truely an accident, or if any of th' rest of th' team wound up 'ere as well."
Briefly falling silent, he dropped his hand to rest on his knee, lifting his head to glance over to Cass. "'Ow'd you wind up 'ere, then?"

"They offered me a job. I thought I was coming to clean hotel rooms in some fancy resort." Cass waved a hand vaguely. "And I think they knew, you know. I'm really... phobic. About snakes. I think it was on purpose. It's too weird of a coincidence. If they picked a snake for you, then they're doubly jackasses."
She leaned back on her tail a bit. "I guess the best thing would be to not let them win, you know. Deal with it somehow. I'm still working on that."

"Ahh..." Brilliant. Here he was, prevented from playing in the World Cup, instead sulking on a beach with a hotel maid. Mind, no offense towards Cassidy, but had anyone told him the morning of the wreck how drastically his life would change following it, he would have laughed them to the neighboring nation.
"I'd imagine there's a reason behind every pick," he replied, shrugging. "Doesn't surprise me that they'd stoop t'somethin' like this. Duvert was positively giddy when 'e told me I wouldn't be leavin'. 'Dealin' with it' is much, much easier said than done," he added, grimacing faintly. "..But then, I s'pose you're quite aware of that."

"Duvert is completely out of his mind," Cassidy said flatly. "I don't disbelieve you for a minute. Moreau... well, I only met him the once, but he at least can pretend to be sane."
She crossed her arms over her chest. "It's difficult, I'll give you that. I'm not doing so well at it myself. But I figure it's got to be better than sulking all the time, right? In the meantime... you still have your legs, and you should enjoy them while you do."

"I 'aven't spoken with Moreau 'imself yet... But Duvert was more than enough staff f' me, thank you." Sighing, he climbed to his feet, dusting off sand and wringing the water from his shorts. "You're right, of course. Enjoy things while they last an' all. Who knows, may'aps vanishin' toes may just be a nasty side effect."
Lifting his head, he cracked a smile. "Sorry f' rantin' on you. Long night, y'know? Actually, I think I'll 'ead back... Take care of y'self, Cass." And with a parting nod, he started back up the beach for the jungle.

"Feel free to rant at me any time," Cass said. "I'm around. You be careful, too."
She sighed a bit, and went to go fetch her book from where she'd left on the sand.

NEW RP
Alec shuffled out of the jungle on his path to the beach, plugged into his CD player and generally oblivious to anything around him. He stopped when the protective canopy overhead drew away and the hot sun struck his partially-bald head, causing him to glance up from the sensation and wince at the light.
He went ahead walking through the sand until he found a good spot just out of range of the rolling tide to sit. Tugging his shirt off, he tossed it aside and braced his hands behind him to relax and bob his head to the music.

As usual the little cheetah girl was headed down to the beach. However of late she had gone there with her damp nose in a book. She read outloud as she went decyphering the words as she padded along. She was still reading charlotts web. She was almost to the middle now though with Josh's help. Being able to read somethig so adveanced for her was a thrill, even more so because she understood the words.
As she stepped on to the golden sands though she tilted her head from her book to absorb the suns rays. A little puurr escaped her and she sighed happily. Life on the island was good to her. Humming to herself she peered around spotting a person she didn't know. Tilting her head in a curious manner she wondered, why did he have all those colours on his head? was it a part of his transformation? She giggled, how strange. Swaying her long tail she padded down the beach holding her book against her chest until she got to Alec and petted him on the shoulder with a furry paw "Hai!" she grins not particularily aware that this was one, a young man and that two she was butt naked on a beach.

Alec would almost be startled by the sudden pat if he hadn't seen a shadow approaching from his peripheral vision. Besides, it took a little more to get the young teen jittery than simply a visitor. Glancing to the side quickly, he reached back to grab his CD player and pause it . "Aye?" He looked back only to see a very cheerful... and very naked girl. If the fact that she was devoid of clothes wasn't distracting enough, her vibrant spots were enough to confuse whatever sense was left in him.
"Uhh... Di' th's place turn in'teh a nekkie reso' when a' wasn' payin atten'shun?" He stammered and wondered if it was about time to look away or risk being called perverted. She looked friendly enough, but looks could be deceiving.

Colche blinks a few times. he had a funny accent! Hee! Kinda like Billys only even more confusing. She giggled quietly and sat with a sandy whump her furry tail making a long window wiper effect in the sand as it waved back and forwards almost in a dog like fashion "I'm Colche" she puurrs unsure still what exactly the young man had just said to her.
Tilting her head a little to look at him her perfect blue eyes went to his funny coloured hair and she giggled again "wazzat?" she asked pointing at the spikes of his multi coloured doo. Truely, she was facinated, was it hair? Her hair couldn't do that it was just all wavey and whee and stuuf.
Of course she didn't seem to notice he was stareing. Lots of people stared even when they'd had their first change, it was all the fur, she knew how pretty it was it was a nice thing to look at she even liked looking in the mirror at allt he purty shapes. The fact that she was sitting in the nude had nothing to do with the stares obviously.

Alec seemed to mirror her actions and blinked as well, since apparently the girl was either hard of hearing, not quite all-there, or just didn't have a sense of humor. Or maybe the joke was inappropriate? This was beginning to really confuse him.
As she sat down, he cleared his throat and turned his attention back to the ocean to save himself the embarassment. "Colche?" He strained to repeat the exotic name but was convinced he wouldn't forget it's originality. "'Am Alec. Huh?" He blinked and looked to see what she was pointing at. Upon noticing she was referring to his hair, he made a toothy smile. "Wuh? Thas me 'air. Y'neveh seen a doo like i'?" Maybe she was from Sweden or something. "Wi' lotsa gel n' stoof, ye make i' stan' up."

Colche was getting very confused with this guys accent. Okay if she concentrated really hard maybe she could figure out what he said without sounding or lookign stupid. Her tongue poked out between her lips and she looked deeply thoughtful. "no never seed hair likes thats before" She grinned. yay she had partially deciphered his accent! "Alec" she puurred, okay easy name to remember, man with funny doo and funny accent alec. "was gel an'' stoof?" Having never styled ehr own exceedingly long locks gell and things were a bit out of her range of items she posessed. She did have a really nice hair brush though that never made her hair go all, all like a hedgehog.
Shje covers her mouth when she thinks of that stiffling a giggle though glancing again at the insane coloured mohawk she couldn't help but grin "look like multi colour hodgeyheg" she giggles "multicolour tiggywinkle" She grins refarreing to one of her story book chracters. of course only his hair looked like that the rest of him. Hmm, it would take some time todecide on a nickname for him though his accent was familiar. She just had to remember what it was from.

Alec listened to Colche speak, amazed at how simplistic her language was compared to her obvious age. It made him laugh more than anything, she was definetly fun to listen to. "Gel. Is this goopeh stoof ye put in ye 'air, an' i' gets hawd an' then i' sticks th'way ye want i' to." The teen nodded at his own explanation, hoping it was sufficient.
"Tiggehwinkeh? Whassat?" The irish kid could barely keep a straight face as he repeated her own words back to her. "Ey, 'am no' a hedhe'og! Thas Emelyn's deal." He chuckled as he recalled meeting the spikey girl by the lake. Just then he noticed the item she was holding close by, gesturing to it in curiousity. "Whassat ye go' theh?"
