"A girlfriend, that's good. It always helps to have someone to confide in." She jotted down Find out who girlfriend is...tool to manipulate with if all else fails. "Is there anything you would really like to have that you haven't been able to get on the island? I'm trying to see if I can gather a few items for people, use what little leverage I have to make you more comfortable here. I don't like for people to be uncomfortable." She almost had to pinch herself to say that with a straight face, but long years of practice made her quite the actress.

Nita was a bit surprised that the doctor didn't comment further on her sexuality; most people would never have guessed, but then again it wasn't like Nita ran around yelling, 'I like boobies!' Although that could be interesting, Nita thought, suppressing a laugh.
"Something I want?" Nita repeated, inflection rising. Now that she wasn't expecting. "Um. Oh, I don't know. More books would be good. I've read everything I brought with me, and I've pretty much been through the selection in the entertainment room."

Marlena jotted it down. "I can probably manage some books." She picked up a blank journal off the desktop. "I'll make you a deal, you take this journal and jot down any unusual feelings or dreams or nightmares you might have, so I can help you work through this transformation you're going through, and I'll try my best to get you some new reading material. Any genre you prefer?"

Nita held the blank book in her lap, along with the pill bottle. She nodded her compliance, although she generally didn't remember her dreams, or if she did, they were just nonsensical bits and pieces. Except for the dream she had had the night after she changed...
"Oddly enough, science fiction and fantasy," Nita said, rolling her eyes.

Marlena chuckled. "Science fiction and fantasy it is then. I won't take up any more of your time, the guards will escort you back. It was a pleasure meeting you Miss MacNeal. If you need anything, use the intercom and ask for me." She gestured to the door with a smile.

Nita rose, journal tucked under one arm and holding the bottle of "Zoloft.' She eyed the guards, not thrilled with the escort, but refrained from commenting.
"Yes, ma'am, I will," Nita said politely, on her way out the door.

As was becoming quite the usual, Dr. Frost was once more in the interview room, gazing at the information contained in the file she held in her hands. "Timothy Matthews..." she noted to herself. "This is the boyfriend Calder was referring to. Interesting." She looked at the photos within and smirked ever so faintly. "I see this one is at 50%. Interesting. He really is beginning to look skunklike. I'm actually shocked a dog-serum specimen could get on so well with him." She looked over the notes in the file and hmmed. "Musician. Not sure what leverage that might be, but one never knows. Abandoment issues too...mother was unloving, father was absent. That can certainly be worked with." She tapped a nail on the desk until she heard the approach of the guards.
There was no lab coat or otherwise scientific appearance to her outfit. She was trying to set these beings at ease, not make them think she was one of the captors.

Timothy came in as he had been instructed to do by the intercom. He was escorted up to the interview room by the two guards. Feeling rather nervous, he had to wonder why they'd bother him, he'd never caused any kind of a fuss around the island. If anything, he'd been rather angelic the whole way through and around.
He hadn't seen the inside of the labs since he'd first been brought into here with Hargun in what seemed like forever ago. He was lead to the door where the guards stood outside and nodded for him to go in. He moved slowly as he pushed the door open.
"H....hello?" Timothy said. His nervious shyness comming back whenever he got tense. He was defintly tense, his tail naturally raised.

Oh a shyyyy one. This might be easier than she thought. Marlena rose and rounded the desk, waving the guards back outside as she extended a hand to Timothy to shake. "Mr. Matthews, a pleasure to meet you. I'm Marlena Frost. I've been brought to the island to assist yourself and the other residents through their transformations, and make sure that all your needs are met. Please do bear with me though, Mr. Calder may have told you that I'm still a bit taken aback by everything I've witnessed here. It wasn't what I was expecting when I came on board."
She smiled as warmly as possible, and gestured to the comfy chair in front of the desk. "Please have a seat, I'll try not to take up overmuch of your time."

Timothy shook her hand and tried to smile back. "Th...thanks, good to meet you." He move forward towards the chair and sat down. "So um... Avery talked about me huh?" Timothy tried to smile, the incident with Vasile comming to mind as he averted his eyes.
"Good things? I um.. hope?" Timothy could be outgoing when he knew someone, but initial reactions, he was pretty bad about the shy thing.

Marlena affected a warm smile. "Indeed. I imagine it's quite a comfort to have someone to rely upon and be comforted by during something as traumatic as a physical transformation." She sat down behind her desk and made a show of shuffling through his papers.
"Let's see here. It says you're from Kansas, and were a musician? Can you tell me a little about how you wound up here?"

"Well, I was right out of high school, my mom wanted me to go to college, or get a job, but I wanted to practice my music." He shrugged. "She told me I had till the end of the summer... to get a job, since I hadn't bothered enrolling anywhere." Timothy shrugged, getting into the story.
"I saw an advertisement in a newspaper for aspiring artists and musicians. Contacted them and they pulled me in for an interview, after that they told me about this artist colony thing. I figured I was set." he scrapped his furred feet against the floor."
"Guess I should have gone to college..." Timothy tried to smile, but sort of failed.

Marlena smiled sadly "I'm so sorry you were deceived in coming here, Mr. Matthews. Has it been all bad, though? How have things been for you socially, regarding the other islanders? I have heard there have been both good and bad interactions among the residents."
On her steno pad she jotted down "Regrets not going to college, possibly some course books or the like to reward him?"

"Well when I came here I met Vasile." Timothy smiled a bit too large as he said Vasile's name. "Then of course Avery too." Timothy's smiled brightened to a happier one, but maybe not quite as excited. "It was meeting Vasile and not being in high school anymore that made me realize I was gay. I didn't have anyone I was scared of teasing me."
Timothy shrugged "Other than that, I've had good dealings with most of the islanders, the ones I know. Except for the time Joli tried to eat me of course." Timothy's face turned distastefully, that had been a weird night.
