Joliette wakes up, not in Duplex 25, but back in her own duplex, #27.
She is lying on the made bed, still fully clothed.
There is a dog muzzle around her mouth (although it would be easy to remove if she reaches around the back of her head and unbuckles it).
Additionally, there is a plate stacked with raw steaks sitting (fragrantly) on her bedside table.

Joliette didn't wake until a few hours later, her eyes slowly and groggily opening, at first she was sure she was dreaming... but then after a time she realized she was not... Her eyes focused on the bare room, her stomach gurgled loudly. Her tongue flickered only to hit the muzzle which caused her to sit up. "What the hell?" she thought to herself as she tried to remember what had happened... The last thing she could clearly remember was coming accross Zachary tied to a tree.
She reached up and fumbled with the muzzle her clawed fingers not as dextrous as they once were as they followed the strapping along till they found the clasp. She fumbled too with that till it finally undid and fell away "Stupid git" she said sure that it could only be one person who had done it.
She sat there for a time her tongue flickered and her stomach gurgled as she tried to fight down the beast that was screaming to be let loose at the smell of blood. Eventually she lost to the hungry creature, and soon was eatting the meat biting and tearing at it to take mouthfuls... hungry mouthfulls. She felt somewhat nautious by the time she was done and, the beast's hunger subsiding, hurried into the bathroom finding something to drink from and gulped down several glasses of water.
With a sigh and glad not to be lost in the jungle any more she left #27 and headed back to #25 where she lived with David... leaving the plate behind.

Sabin's Lover..?
Maybe Kaveri would give this another try. Honestly, she's still quite shaken over what had happened earlier with Bobby. Right now, all she wanted was the security of finding and talking to her first friend from the commune: Sabin.
Maybe... maybe he's home right now! She knew Bobby told her that she was wrong, but Kaveri is a stubborn, hardheaded girl. She wouldn't believe it until she saw it with her own eyes. So, what is there for her to do than set off for duplex 25? It's sometime late in the evening, so Kaveri pulls on her green hoodie and heads out. She again stalks down the line of duplexes, looking for 25 - it's a bit of a longer walk, but she finds it soon enough and approaches the door.
She really hopes Sabin is home. She takes a deep breath, swallowing hard and reaching out to timidly knock. And, hey, maybe she might even get a chance to meet his lover. He or she might as well be a really pleasant person, given how cool of a guy Sabin was.

Chubbs was cuddled up with Joliette in their comfy bed. he almost had her cuddled up like a small toy. His arms and legs wrapped around her, holding her close to him as he nuzzled her cheek in his sleep. Chubbs felt the slightest bit of peace in her arms, something only she could bring. It wasn't music that soothed the savage best, it was a good woman.
His peace was soon broken though, as a nagging feeling started pulling him out of his deep slumber, like someone tugging on his sleeve. Eventually he roused his senses and the sounds of tapping entered his ears. It took him a moment to realise it was someone at the door, and with a groan of annoyance he shuffled his way out of bed rubbing his eyes.
" Yeah yeah, hold on"
Scratching his chin, Chubbs made his way to the door and unlocked it before pulling it open. He didn't realise till it was too late that he forgot to put some pants on in his sleepy state.

Chubbs had left her, she shivered slightly mostly asleep herself and pulled the cover up tighter around herto stave off the chill that hit when the breeze of hte open door blew across her partially scaley skin. She opened an eye slowly and only partially to figure out where he went "David?" she murmurs not having heard the door

As Kaveri waits at the door, she takes a step back as she hears what seems to be the sound of claws tapping on the floor from the inside. Hey, maybe they own a dog or something? She takes in a nervous breath, holding her arms behind her back.
Then, the door opens. What Kaveri sees is someone who is quite not Sabin, and quite... large. She can't make out much because it's so dark, but she tries to look up into the largely-built man's face. She forces an awkward smile, arching her brows and, again, finding it difficult not to stare. Was she just seeing things, or was this man excessively hairy?
"H-hi..! My name is Kaveri, and I was told to visit here. Y-you must be Sabin's lover, right? Is he home right now?"
Way to be completely and utterly awkward, Kavvi.

Chubbs first blinked at the fact there was someone here he'd never seen before, then now realising he was naked, blushed a little. But what shocked him most of all was what she said to him....Sabin's lover? Chubbs looked at Joliette like the woman outside was a complete look, then he looked back to this Kaveri, shut his eyes tight, shook his head and looked at her like she had said the "n" word to a black guy.
" What the ******** stepped down from the door and left it open and peered back inside, looking at Joliette.
" I think that a*****e's been at it again"
Chubbs grabbed his hair in frustration a moment, and looked Kaveri over. She'd seen him naked now, he should go cover up, but he was boggled at what this one had just said to him.
" You have to be new here"

Joliette pulled the sheet around herself and sat up, she was decent, "What the gormless arse do this time..." then it hit her what the woman had said and a slew of very british accented french words came tumbling from her lips rather quickly, not a single one of them nice or polite and all of them directed at the git.

Of all the things she could have said, she had to mention the "Sabin's lover" thing. She should have listened to Bobby! Her eyes widen with fear, knowing that she's probably screwed up big time.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!!" Kaveri blurts, covering her mouth. She's clearly embarassed by it, but she should have expected some kind of initiation prank or something as a formal welcome to the commune. She'd have to plot something to get back at the b*****d now!
And in what could be a rather unexpected reaction, Kaveri begins to laugh - it's nervous, uneasy laughter. "That guy is such a jerk! Oh, man... yeah, I'm new around here. I guess that 'lover' thing was some kind of a joke to pull my leg since I'm fresh meat and all," she looks away, still giggling.
Hey, maybe her laughter could lighten up the situation - the folks in this duplex don't seem to be particularly amused. Then again, her laughter probably wouldn't help at all and make things worse. She could hear another voice, but couldn't see anyone beyond Chubbs - not that the lack of light could really help her see anything beyond vague outlines, really.
"I'm really sorry about that, I should have expected to have something like this happen," she apologizes again, admitting to her gullibility.

Chubbs blinked and looked up at Kaveri like the girl was completely insane... he was boggled. How in the hell could she be giggling, this wasn't funny, this place was nothing to laugh at. She was new and all buthow could she stand there laughing? Chubbs turned to Joliette and rubbed his temples and sighed.
" Ya know I hate explaining everything to people"
Looking at Kaveri, he reached over and put a hand on her should, as much as he wanted to grip it really tightly, he just wanted to have some control. Much as the woman agitated him, she was going to get a rude awakening and he wanted to be ready in case she ran or fainted.
" Look... Sabin isn't a jerk... he's demon bile... and if given the chance, I'd take these..."
Chubbs then held up his other hand to her face, and displayed the row of claws on his finger tips. He wanted her to get a close look.
" ... And I'd sink them into his chest where his black heart USE to be"
Maybe it was the fact his sleep was disturbed, or the fact she called him Sabin's lover. But Chubbs wasn't in a good mood and his diplomatic skills were out the window.

Joliette's words slowed and quieted, she knew the french man would likely have heard her, seen her and understood her but she couldn't care less. She slipped from the bed sheet and all and made sure she wasn't in sight as she slipped an over-sized shirt on that david had let her use , it hid her quite well, she walked to the door ducking under his arm and looking a thte laughing woman "The arse you refer to is a doctor here, a rather twisted one actually" she said her yellow forked tongue flicking and bringing the woman's scent to her.
She wondered just how many new people Moreau was bringing to the isle. Rubbing sleep from her eye she rests a hand on David maybe it would calm maybe it wouldn't, she didn't really care just then. She was angry at the lover comment too, but it did't do for them both to give into the predator's anger

Denial was Kaveri's only protection here. If she kept denying everything, it wasn't real... right? The fearful laughter subsides, and she immediately tenses up as she feels the heavy, clawed hand on her shoulder.
"Don't tell me," she says, her voice small and barely audible, "I was told this before... I didn't believe it... I don't know if I still do, honestly, I'm hoping this is just a ******** dream that will go away when I wake up..."
She swallows hard, wincing and looking away as Chubbs puts his claws in her face. Squeezing her eyes shut, she can feel the tears forming as those claws, without even actually cutting into her or otherwise touching her, were rending away the only thing she had keeping herself under the illusion for so long: her denial.
She could keep saying it was a dream, it was a hallucination, but no. She could feel the hand on her shoulder. The fact that she could feel proved that this was no joke. This was no dream at all, and hell, it's not even a nightmare, it's worse than that.
This... this thing was real. Her illusion is lost. This is no commune.
Kaveri couldn't bring herself to say anything. Not even a half-assed apology, not even an utterance on her disbelief. She couldn't even move, she just stood completely still.
After a very long silence, she speaks, her eyes focusing on the sharp claws protruding from Chubbs' furry fingers.
"You were once people, weren't you?" She turns to look up at Chubbs and Joli with wide, liquid eyes. She's trembling with fear, holding her hand to her face. "Am I... is this going to happen to me, too?" She can feel her legs going weak, and an overwhelming sensation of dread rising up from her gut.

Chubbs felt the soft touch of Joliette on his arm, it was something to snap him out of his small bout of temper. Then the girl crying really made him feel ashamed of himself. He hated feeling like a monster, and it seemed everyday he was reminded about it. Looking towards Joliette he brushed his finger along her cheek and looked back to Kaveri. He listed to her question, wondering how best to explain it all. But right now he needed some pants and thought it best to move everything inside. He shifted hs hand to place on Kaveri's back and tried to usher her to the door.
" Look why don't we go sit down and let me get some pants on and have a talk alright?"

Kaveri trembles, nervously reaching up to twirl a finger in one of the dreadlocks hanging in her face. "A-alright," she stammers, following Chubbs and Joli inside.
"I might as well hear it all," she sighs, rubbing at her eyes with a chubby hand, looking for a place to sit down. She's feeling really weak and vulnerable right now, but there is nothing that she can really do about it.
Kaveri slumps her shoulders, opting to sink into the couch and prop her chin up on the elbows placed in her lap. "It's becoming more and more clear to me that this commune wasn't what I was promised," she says, then pauses to reconsider what she had said. "Actually, they did give me what was promised: A home, a bed, and never having to run from the cops or deal with getting arrested or having to pay fines again. But they never told me about... about the animals."
She looks at the floor, staring at her feet. "I should have listened to that lady," she says to herself, shaking her head.
"Does this happen to everyone that comes here?" She straightens up, leaning back to hold her hand out look at it. "Will my fingers be tipped in claws one day as well?" And as quickly as that one shell of denial is ripped away, Kaveri mentally starts building another one to replace it: I am not going to become an animal. I am somehow different. This WON'T happen to me and I will stay the same, no matter what anyone says!
She huffs and puts her hand down, leaning back into the couch and looking at Chubbs and Joli expectantly. She might as well start getting used to people who weren't entirely human in appearance, that seems to be the theme surrounding the poor people living on this horrible island. "Well," she says, "let's hear it."
