Eck, she really didn't need to be reminded she wasn't human anymore. But instead of getting upset about it like she normally would have, Amaya merely stuck her long, iguana tongue out at her in a playful sneer. "True, though if you really wanted you might be able to wear this costume of mine. I made them buy this for me, but I have another back in my room that I'm saving for later in the night." A wicked grin played her scaley features and she clicked her pistols together.
The silence coming from Julian worried her immensly and she turned to look at him, concern filling her eyes. "Y'okay Julian?" She had sort of unconsciously become very protective and concerned for the man, the pitty and worry having built up to gigantic proportions since the cafeteria. All she wanted for him right now was to be comfortable and happy and have a good time. That was her job: make sure everyone on the island had fun and didn't get too upset.
"HOLYGODCRAP!" Amaya jumped out of her skin as the complete stranger entered the party. Her eyes went incredibly wide and she leapt behind Awen for false protection, staring at the strange man who had just entered.
"Thanks..." She laughed nervously at Lauren, still somewhat creeped out over the strange man. Catching something out of the corner of her eye she double-taked and then stared, squinting. What was that...? The ears were friggin' huge and there was bright orange h-oh s**t HARGUN! Before anyone could stop her she bolted over. "Hargun! Oh my god, are you alright?!" So much for trying to keep a happy disposition. Upon hearing Thorn she blinked and raised a brow up at her with an 'are you an idiot?' look.

Sabin looked up as the young subject... Hargun was her name? That was right - stuck out in his mind due to its novelty entered the scene looking disoriented. He hid his grin behind his mug. The changes were so fascinating! Especially in person! He eyed her more developed wings, fur, and yes! The horns! His combination serum was coming to fruit in another subject.
Keeping these to himself, he stepped forward to mingle, wondering how long he might be able to pass off as "one of them" before his cover as a technician was blown.
"So how is everyone doing?" He looked around at the subjects. "Lots of people around I haven't actually met." He gave an innoculous smile behind the fangs, the "transylvanian" accent gone for a much smoother French one.

"Woah hey!" Awen had just been thrown around a bit with Amaya jumping behind her then bolting before her. She was pulled to her feet in the scuffle and wobbled a little bit, just with Awen's luck though.... tripping over the tarp flooring and falling right into the mysterious "transylvanian/frenchie" person guy.
But since she was so ratehr small she just bounced back and fell to the floor before him. Looknig up she gave a sort of sheepish grin. "Sorry...." She chuckled a little bit "Clumbsy...." She got up slowly and brushed herself off. "Um.... Awen Zyn." She held out her hand to him with a small smile. "Nice to meet you."

Hargun turned her head to Amaya who spotted her, and figured now she was no longer totally hidden. But luckily it was nearly her best friend and not some lab assistant to poke at her. Woah.. why was she thinking this?
"No.. -sniffle- Lauren its.. its not that." she replied and tried to stand up a little more taller and spread her arms out, shakily to show what had happened.
She began to whimper a bit, but tried so hard not to go a bawling. "I dunno Amaya.. I swear.. I just went to take a nap before heading out here and wake up to this.. the itching.. the pain.. the horns?" she said and looked upwards a bit. Lowering her voice a bit, to sound less dramatic, although she was sure she was making a big enough scene already, she breathed in deeply. "Do.. do you think its like.. another.. change?" she asked.

The strange white-haired man seemed to smile a bit wider as Amaya ducked for cover behind her friend. He shook his head and chuckled again after whetting his lips with his tongue. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, miss." He spoke to her, although the light danced in his red eyes, and it's hard to tell if he's being completely honest about that.
He nodded to Awen who introduced herself to him personally and took her hand in a firm grip. "Sabin. It's nice to meet you, Awen." He spoke, the French accent maintaining, and seeming much more natural than the introductory "Transylvanian" one." His eyes darted again to Hargun as she stretched out her wings to show Amaya, but he stayed by Awen.

Lauren finally got a clue to what was upsetting Hargun. "Oh...." She said her voice drifting off in feign understanding. Thorn would DIE to be at 50% by now, it wasn't fair the doc was being wish washy about injecting Thorn cause he liked her so much.
"Well, it makes for a neat costume" She gave a nervous smile. Lauren never knew what to say in situations like these. "And maybe you are that much closer to flying! That would be sweet. Also I can eat bugs with you if that would make you feel better?" Stay on the up and up and maybe Hargun would see how cool things were.
She noticed the horns. What kind of bats had horns? Lauren was completely puzzeled by this.

Julian had looked up at Amaya with a feeble smile, sipping from the weird 'punch.' He kinda liked it.
"...I'm okay." Softly, and with a little smile.
But as the newly-changed Hargun came stumbling in, he was startled - taking a rather large gulp of the drink.
He had NO IDEA what to do or say. All the hub-bub in here was a lot to handle - and he didn't do well with crowds....
He finished the punch and oddly, felt...calmer. He got another one.

Awen's smiled weakened a little bit under the man's firm grip. Something about him made her skin just crawl. but his accent was neat, she loved all sorts of accents. She glanced over to were Sabin had set his gae, Hargun. Awen didn't know what to do over there and was letting Amaya handle it. She just felt so awkward handling these situations. She didn;t know what to tell Lauren and he was only partly changed when she showed up on Awen's doorstep.
"Kind of scarey.... isn't it?" She said softly to Sabin. "I mean... I haven't even started changing.... And...well...." She gave a small shudder. "It's worrying sometimes...."
She was shaking a little bit. Seeing people with small features was one thing. Hargun.... was completely different. What could she do to help....Awendidn't know at all what it was like....

"It's alright, Hargun." Amaya frowned and gave her friend a small, reassuring hug. "Horns?" Blinking, she looked up and her frown deepened. First Cassidy's feathers and now Hargun had horns? What the hell was going on? "Yeah... it looks like you changed again. And Cassidy is growing scales AND feathers so... I dunno, I guess they're doing something to the stuff they're injecting us with..." Ugh, what would she be growing that didn't go with her 'animal' next time she changed? The mere thought made her shiver.
"But yeah!" She forced a smile and played off of Lauren's 'happy thoughts'. "Maybe you'll be able to fly and stuff!" You could tell it was mostly forced. Right now she could seriously think of nothing positive to say herself...

There was definately something unplacably creepy about Sabin. He saw her glance to Hargun as well and nodded. "A lot of people have been quite nervous... and rightfully so." he sympathized(?).
He gave her a quick look-over and quirked his eyebrow. "So.... pardon me for asking, but what are you supposed to be? I mean, there's the blue hair... but other than that you're dressed pretty normally."

Hargun just stood quivering in her spot but her crying had seemed to stop. She nodded to Amaya. "I dunno whats going on with what theyre putting in our bodies.. but these horns.. are.. are beyond abnormal.." she said, the ending kind of trailing off as she looked to the ground.
As much as it would have cheered her up, tonight the whole positive-things of becoming a bat weren't really shining in her face. Maybe the trama or the pain was causing it.. maybe it was her dream. But something just didnt quite feel the same inside and it cause her to feel a bit sick.
"Do.. do you think it would trouble you much to get me a glass of water?" she asked Amaya, and a pitiful laugh escaped her mouth. "And.. I.. I might need a straw.."

"I'm the oddest thing of the island." She giggled softly to Sabin. "I'm a normal human being." She blushed knowing, for the fiftieth time she said it , that it was compeltely lame. "I've alwasy had this hair...well... sicne I started dyingit. That really has nothing to do with my costume though."
She glanced nervously back over to Hargun. Amaya has it under control... it's okay. You can't do anything anyway. You don't even know what it feels like to change the first time. She smiled a little up to Sabin. "So....do you know what you are yet....?...not the costume I mean.... but really.. going to be?

Lauren shrugged at Hargun, "Yeah, they are kind of weird. But I seem to remember some additional feature injections being mentioned, had no clue they were in use though." She had been seeing the Doc less and less lately now that more people were comming onto the island.
"I'm sorry it happened before the party, that does kind of suck." Lauren couldn't imagine what she would feel like if any changes happened on her birthday, it would be like one giant present!
Alright, it was obvious she couldn't relate. "Seems like you need some time with your best friend? Feel better alright?" She hugged Hargun, her musk gland slightly going off to mark the bat. "I'm gonna go get more food, I'm starving." Lauren rushed over to the food table again loading up but now with more meat.

"Sure, no problem." Amaya nodded and quickly made her way over the the snack table, paying the others no mind. Right now Hargun really needed her. After getting a glass of water and putting a straw in it she made her way back over it and held it up so her friend could drink from it. By the looks of her hands she probably wouldn't be able to hold anything now.
"See ya Lauren." She gave a slight wave as the girl left.

Julian was feeling pretty good by now considering the crowd - he had finished his second drink.
He ate a meatball, watching the festivities with a rather...odd...grin.
Hey.
There was a karaoke machine.
He turned it over in his mind.
Julian had always wanted to try that...and tonight, he was feeling brave.
