Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lauren went to pick up Moreau's new specimen, an Amaya from what she was told. She was instructed to dress nice and professionally for this one... amongst other things.

And so she obeyed like a good daughter, dressed in a professional yet stylish black suit with a red shirt underneath and high heel shoes. In the passenger seat there was a suitcase with some information about Amaya inside of it.

The jeep aproached the place where the helicopter had landed. Lauren walked out and welcomed Amaya with a.... hug?

"Welcome Amaya" The tall skinny young blonde said rather nicely. "It's so good to see you here. Was your flight pleasant?" There was no sign of the real Lauren behind this facade and somehow it seemed she kind of liked being nice to someone.

Lauren smiled back, "Sorry to hear that, but your here on the ground now at least." She laughed a bit.

"I need to take you for a short trip to our medical facilities. All people arriving at the island need to recieve innoculations." She frowned a bit, "I know... very unpleasant but better than getting ill from tropical diseases." Her blonde hair was tied back neatly which caught her offguard when she went to brush it back with her fingers after this. But she continued smiling as she walked over to the jeep.

"Oh and by the way I'm Lauren! You'll love it here." Lauren opened the car door and sat down in the drivers seat. She was also instructed to drive... a little slower. Geese this was hard. But at least, she seems nice enough Lauren thought to herself. At least she isn't some spoiled brat

God these clothes are uncomfortable... Was a repeated thought in Lauren's mind. She smiled compassionately at the question. "Yes, unfortunately a shot. It will be quick and painless then you will be shown to your very own room! It's great, I spend most of my time at the beach here." Her grin was slightly more fake but not noticiable. "I understand your fears, I hate them myself but sometimes you have to tough those kind of things out."

Once in the car she sat down and looked perky at Amaya's other question, "Yeah, kind of. I'm sort of an intern for the medical lab. Doc Moreau took me in." The professional tone in her voice set aside for a bit but she still sounded really nice and kind. It wasn't hard after all she was nice inside but bringing it genuinely to the surface was tough.

The Jeep traversed down the road through the jungle path past much tropical vegetation and wild life. Some colorful birds flew overhead at one point cawing at each other. A small monkey ran across the road as Lauren hit on her breaks looking worried, "Sorry about that." She said apologetically as she waited for the monkey to pass. "He was soo cute." She smiled and continued on the road.

They finally reached the lab where the gates opened for the jeep. Lauren parked the jeep getting out to help Amaya down. The labs towered overhead. "This is our medical facility where I intern. I'll be in the room when you get your shot, since you are scared. Sometimes it's nice to have someone there for ya." She really meant it too. This nice thing wasn't too hard with Amaya for some reason. Lauren had a good sense for people and knew she's been through lots of pain. She walked Amaya to the entrance.

Lauren's emotions came out a second, but still no anger and nothing resembeling the harshness of her normal facade, "Yeah.. I geuss you could say that. He saved me from the streets though." Her face lit up, "It's real nice having a place of my own."

Lauren smiled at Amaya's reaction to the lab, "Yeah, great isn't it?" Was all she said. Of course she was impressed. She led the younger girl past the nice lobby, through the halls and into the elevator. "Floor 8" Lauren said as the elevator sped up seemingly too quickly. "Nice to meet someone like me." She said grinning. She really meant that one Amaya kind of reminded her of one of her street friends... that was before...

She shook that memory away. No use thinking of the dead. The elevator door opened as they entered lab room 8 "You'll like the doc, he's really nice and buys me whatever I want." Looking away she kind of played with her jacket nervously. "Having what I want is nice for a change, going without for so long."

As Lauren saw the doc she shot a secret look of I hate this get up... these heels are KILLING me! before smiling again at Amaya.

"Yeah, I can imagine..." Amaya smiled at Lauren and followed her out of the elevator. Upon seeing Doctor Moreau she was... not expecting that in the least. He looked kinda young for a doctor... musta been pretty smart or something. She gave a nervous smile and nodded. "Mmkay." After taking a seat on the table she shivered and rubbed her arm, knowing what was soon to come. Her feet swung off the table and kicked back and forth out of habit.

Moreau inserted his chosen serum into a needle and walked back towards Amaya. I bet Lauren would have liked this more than what she got. Moreau grinned at that and pulled Amaya's sleeve up and inserted the needle.

"You'll be in Duplex 20, an upstairs duplex. You can find food and anything else you need in the central building. Of course Lauren should be able to help you with anything, she's in Duplex 10."

Moreau patted Amaya on the back. "Lauren can show you out. Oh, also the innoculations can cause some discomfort and bad dreams the night after. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your time here."

The scrawny blonde girl in the suit led Amaya to the elevator again down outside the building. "See wasn't that bad now was it?" She smiled pleasently.

"You'll like your place, Duplex 20 huh? We will have to hang out sometime, grab a bite to eat or something." God... this social thing was hard but she watched and was instructed on how to do so. She could remember being a happy social teenager...once.

Lauren walked across the parking lot as the gate opened for them. "Only authorised personal inside the lab I'm afraid but I'm not here all the time, just for my 'medical' studies." A slight laugh escaped her lips. Medical studies... well some sort of front would have to be there for now.
