Gallen turned around and looked at the young lady with the cane sitting beside him.
"Good evening." Gallen smiled as he raised his beer to the young lady, it would take a lot more then one can to make him tipsy.
"Haven't seen you around before, names Gallen Marcuss and yours is?"

"Doing fine myself, though I did manage to trip and fall on my face at the beach yesterday. Everyone else found it a lot more amusing than I did." Sophie liked speaking to Marshall: not because it appeased her sense of fandom for his comic, but simply that he was optimistic. Everyone where she lived before had called her optimistic, though she hadn't really appreciated it until meeting another of similar quality. She smiled, though movement at the corner of her eye caused her to look up.
She'd never seen the man, of course, and that instantly put her brain in shy mode. However, as soon as he greeted her with a carrot in his mouth, Sophie she had nothing to worry about, and took his hand. "Nice to meet you, too." She released his hand, realizing that she hadn't previous known there were so many people on the island, especially so many still-human people. But, courtesy was courtesy, and Sophie assumed Marshall and the man were friends. She scooted over one seat, allowing for the man to sit between her and the comic writer. "My name's Sophie. What about you?"

Gaius shook her hand firmly and quickly removed the carrot stick from his mouth after taking a quick bite. The girl was friendly, and when he noticed her scooting over for him, he smiled sheepishly and nodded his thanks, taking the stool between them. Hoping the dim light of the bar would hide his awkward blush - why did he always have to be so shy around new girls?! - he noticed she was unchanged yet, just like himself. That was kinda odd, considering all the inhabitants of the island, but he mentally shrugged it off, his thoughts interrupted by her question.
"Huh? Oh! Right, sorry, name's Gaius," he smiled, slouching against the bar. "I... just arrived a couple days ago. Still trying to make heads and tails- er..." he winced at the poor word-choice, "uh, trying to understand everything here... How long have you been around?"

"Just a few days? Lucky you. I've been here about...two weeks and a day, I suppose." Sophie reached behind her and snuck a canned soda into her reaches, popping the top with a satisfied fizzle. Sophie was also greatful for the dim lighting: maybe then he wouldn't see her worry. Two weeks...how long was it before a change began? At least he was safe for now, at just a few days.
"Though I have to admit, I still haven't figured everything out. I thought I was going on some college field work trip..." She sighed, bringing the can to her lips. "Though I suppose if you look on the bright side of things, I don't have to pay for an apartment or food anymore. It's pretty nice, if you avoid getting to know the neighbors."

[Sorry, too lazy to switch accounts. XD!]
[Okay Gallen, I don't want to come off rude, but can you please roleplay like a literate? Astriks roleplay is really not easy to follow sometimes. Also; the DJ is playing club songs. Not MC Hammer and Sir Mixalot. (Okay, so maybe he played one song by them each.) There are a varity of songs playing. It's a dance; hip-hop, rap and R&B are going to be the songs that are being played. However, there is country, metal and rock also played, just mostly club music.
Again, I apologize if I came off rude. I just wanted to inform you of the scenario in question. Thanks! <3]
What's this? Wallflowers? OG! Nooo, can't be!
Mitchell had been so used to a large group of drunk, sweaty teenagers up on a tiny stage dancing .. that he never really noticed wallflowers before. Then again, not everyone was a party animal like Mitchell was. Like Elissa was ...
No, he couldn't think about her. It's been nearly a month; he was mostly likely presumed dead. Besides .. that Jack f**ker in the same grade as Elissa is probably all over her right now. That punk had been after Elissa since day one of tenth grade. During the summer before grade ten, Elissa went through a lot. She had slimmed out, her face cleared up more, she got contacts and a new hair-cut. Of course, she was always gorgeous before .. but the make-over made it all the better. Guys began to notice her a lot more, once again.
F**k ...
Snapping back to reality, Mitchell squinted to see who exactly was at the bar.
Marshall, sweet. Mitchell loved that guy. One of the first people Mitchell had met. They had arrived around the same time as well. [Hope you don't mind me posting this DT! <3 If you do, I can fix it! No problem!]
Sophie. He had seen her around before. Spoken with her once or twice. She was pretty cool.
A new girl and a new guy? Niice. Wonder if they know yet.
Gallen was talking with the new girl. Mitchell had never really gotten to know Gallen however.
Pushing through the wave of animals and humans, Mitchell struted towards Marshall, Gaius and Sophie. A playful smirk danced on the teen boy's face, 'Word!', laughing, Mitchell addressed the next statement to Marshall and Sophie, 'Hey guys! Didn't expect to see you two here; not much of dancers are you?' He knew Sophie wasn't a fan of dancing, but if a certain song plays, you may never know. Marshall on the other hand was a social butterfly .. but Mitchell had never seen him dance before.
'Hey man. The name's Mitchell.' He extended a hand. Yeah, just a normal hand. Wasn't a hoof yet .. I mean, what?
[XD I think Gaius and Mitchell would get along. Both are buffff and turning into horsies! XDD; Whoot! <3]

OOC: understand half of what you said and I apologies, the other half I am a little lost with. Asterisks RP?
IC: Gallen watched as Mitchell came up, he had just met him a few days back and saw the kid as pretty cool.
hey Mitchell how goes life on the Fantasy Island.
Gallen smiled hoping the joke was not lost to the crowed. He watched the dance floor. Even though so many where changing from there normal human selves, due to the good doctors serum, he was amazed how ever one still kept their spirits up and could party. He smiled enjoying the sight that even in the worst of times people could still have hope and fun.

(Mitchell: Ha! They shall be equine adopted brothers and do stupid stuff together! >3)
"College field trip, huh? I was promised a job working on building living quarters for an island theme park..." Gaius chuckled self-consciously. He took a moment to note the other guy and girl he had yet to meet sitting nearby at the bar, he wondered with mild concern if she was okay considering the cane she had with her. So many people, how was he ever going to keep their names straight?
Pulled out of his mind-wanderings, Gaius looked up and broke into a friendly smile as another new guy - also human - approached. Seems Marshall knew everyone! Gripping the hand with his own normal hand, Gaius shook it firmly. "Gaius! And not much of a dancer myself... can't tell if I have two left feet or two right!" he laughed. "However..." he eyed the bar, remembering why he'd originally come over. Digging around, he found a variety of beer as well as his choice of coke, sprite, orange, whatever he wished for... a mischevious gleam came into his grin and he looked back at the others. Normally he wasn't a drinker, but it was a party after all, he could let loose a little. "Hey, any of you know if there's any orange juice and vodka around? I think I'll live dangerously tonight!"

Nodding his thanks to the guy, Gaius excused himself and slid out of the group and around the counter to make for the fridge.
"I'm Gaius!" he shot over his shoulder. There was a good deal of rattling and shuffling as Gaius dug through the fridge, and then... "Aha!" He produced a pitcher of the orange stuff and beamed triumphantly. "Now the vodka, which is probably down here..." Muttering to himself, he squatted and opened one of the cupboards beneath the bar, pulling out bottles to read their labels in the dim light. "Uh, let's see... ale? Nah, though that's good... wine? Nah... rum? Looks like it's all gone... ah! Here's the vodka!" Dropping it up on the counter, Gaius fetched a glass and set about making himself an orange screwdriver, ears pricked to listen to the others talk.

((Omg...Jema swooshes in Willard...Another horsie going man. XD As she needs to rp him...and Iona is feeling under the weather...))
He'd mostly been standing in the corner. The news about the island just placed Willard in a bad mood. Not feeling the need to socialize today or drink like he normally did. He raised a hand to his bald scalp and scratched it, his other hand held a small glass of mysterious liquid he grabbed from the bar.
((I'm leaving on a flight. So..if you all wanna ignore Willard, go ahead. :3))

Raven was sulking. There was no techno or rock songs most of the time. Raven sighed, she would've loved to hear music from Atryu or Daft punk or DJ Yoda or A perfect circle but it seems like it's not to be. It's too bad because Raven liked very little rap, R&B she hated, country music she hated and she liked the metal and rock songs but... they weren't on much. Raven saw alot of people, changed and unchanged. She went off to the side and saw a group of people talking. Raven was in fact 25% changed and was trying to hide it. Her now blackish brown hair was hiding of her ears, her tail was hidden by a long skirt and she wore gloves. "Hiya!" Raven said as she entered the group and then noticed Sophie. "Hello Sophie" Raven had broken the news of the island to Sophie so sophie knew she was changed. (I kinda got cornered with this rp, the first time my character meet Sophie, she was 25% changed and Sophie had been on the island for two days at that time)

[@ Gallen; Astriks roleplay is this: *He looked at the new guy* Hey!
@ Gaius; Huzzah! Yes they will, it'll be funn! XDD;]
Mitchell shook the young man's hand firmly, giving a friendly smile, 'I used to go clubbing and to the disco during the weekends back home ... even though I'm only 17, my uncle was the bouncer and the disco was open for 14 and up.' He smirked, watching curiously as Gaius rummaged through his bag. Mitchell was tempted to get a drink himself, but it would make for bad first impressions. Plus he wasn't all that thirsty.
Turning to Gallen, he stated calmly, 'Pretty normal, man. Been here for over a month and nothing surprises me anymore.' He smirked.
Now, he was a quiet. People stated how they were to come here and on what terms. Mitchell .. had a different story all together, 'I was supposed to be going to Texas with my girlfriend, Elissa, for the summer ... I took a boat because it was cheaper and I was supposed to meet up with my horse, Luke, half way and pick him up so we could keep going.' A moment of silence came from the teenage boy, 'We never made it half way.'
Looking at his feet, he shifted at the memory, 'There was a storm ...'
And from there .. they could fill in the blanks.
[@ Raven; Yes, there is techno and rock. I would never let a party go without Daft Punk, Crazy Frog, Newton or Benni Benassi! And I'm a fan of Atreyu myself. Trust me, everything is going to be played at this party.
And I don't see why people hate country! XDD; *Is a regular country girl* I've grown up listening to it .. so yeah, hahaa!]

Gaius raised an eyebrow at Mitchell and chuckled as he worked on his drink-concoction. "I was warned that the first change comes with around a month of being here... you still look pretty human to me!"
His smile faded as he continued to listen and a hint of worry furrowed his brows. "A storm? Did anyone else survive?"

Marshall sighed; he had been on the Island now for close to two months, and had yet to have any real changes...Though he did find himself eating Fish and Popsicles more than usual. But still, he figured there were worse things in life than consuming mass amounts of frozen treats and tuna fish sandwhiches.
He looked over at Mitchell with a concerned look; Marshall knew all about the storm that landed him here. He had tried his best to keep him okay, trying to almost like a serogate big brother to him, but no matter what he did he knew that Mitchell left a lot behind.
"...Make me one of those Screwdriver things, will ya Gaius?"
