"Oh yeah, I remember now. That was pretty funny." Instantly Ryan realized his mistake. 'Well, maybe not for you, but, you pulling on that guy's tail, that was great." He shivered as another gust of wind blew past. He tried wipe off as much water as he could. The sun was setting, and it'd be getting a lot colder soon.
The guy in the sheet just sat and moved his hands and feet around in the sand. Squirrel maybe?
As the other girl came closer, he could make out more details on her. She seemed to have grown black patches of skin. It almost looked shiny. Chitin? Have they actually made insect-people? "Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Georgia, my name is Ryan Michaels." He held out his hand. Hecould wait any longer to ask her what she was. "Are you turning into an insect?"
Nice and blunt.

Autumn gave him a cross look when he first spoke. "I didn't mean to pull it that hard," she said.
She huggled up a bit more as another gust of wind came along. Compared to where she used to live, this was quite comfortable, & felt quite comfortable.
As the other girl approached, she noticed the black skin even more. And she had weird, black markings above her eyes. With the light slowly fading, it was hard to tell what it was now.
Autumn looked away, watched the man play with sand.. With his feet, before looking out across the water. "I can't believe I'm not going home again. That just.. I dunno."
It still seemed unreal. It didn't seem like she would be there for that long. It felt more like a dream of some sort than actual reality.

She nodded at his introduction with a small smile, and was amused at how the other girl obviously found out about the island, but her way wasn't so dissimular, well except she never pulled anybody's tail.
Her blue eyes flickered to Ryan's outstretched hand after his introduction, making no move to shake it. He had just come out of the sea, so was reletively clean, well there was alot of dirt and chemicals in the ocean, but at least he won't feel sweaty. She eyed his long nails, they didn't look very clean...
"Are you turning into an insect?"
Georgia looked straight at Ryan with a look of being just slapped in the face. "A- an ...an insect?" Her grip around herself tightened, her face paling in the the fading light. "N-no." She shook her head taking a step back. "No, I-I can't be..." If she said it enough times it wouldn't be true, besides it was getting dark, surely he couldn't tell just like that? "I don't know... what I'm becoming." She spoke slowly, trying to convince herself. Bugs have extra arms, she didn't have any lumps that may suggest she was turning into one. Insects were also very dirty and germ ridden, having millions of different parasites on them and they ate rotting things.
Georgia shuddered at the thought. No she wasn't becoming an insect, he was wrong. So very wrong.
She bit her bottom lip. "Ss-so what are you two... becoming?" Move the attention away from her, pretend it only disturbed her for a moment even though it lay heavily in the back of her mind and remembering just how shiney the black beatle that she watched cawling away eariler was. No, she was going to be something else, there were no insects on this island because there couldn't be.

Colette looked over at the familar voice and was slightly startled by his apperance now. She nodded at his words and could tell that something just might be up. Colette put on a small smile and nodded. "Yes.. oh.. thanks," she repiled, not used to getting a complement about her tail and she couldn't keep it from wagging slightly. Colette hadn't really seen or spoken with him in a while and she had thought that something bad must have happened to him.

“I don’t know about me, but I think y-you look…kinda cute as an otter” He put on a wide smile, for once he was feeling comfortable around a girl, perhaps all that practice in front of the mirror really did help.
“I bet you’d make all the other girl otters jealous, and all the boy otters would be f-falling for you!” he started blushing like always again, who wouldn’t after saying something that corny?

She shrugged with a small smile on her face, greatful that her fur was able to hide her blush. "Maybe," Colette repiled as her tail kept wagging. "Ya never know."
'Gees.. I'm apparently like a dog' she thought as she tried to mentally keep her tail from wagging, but she didn't have any succes.

Nick stared at her tail as it wagged from side to side, it made for a good distraction from thinking about what he planned to say next. He gulped and took in a deep breath.
“Y-you know, t-there might be a certain-b-boy owl who might be i-interested” as the while as he stuttered his stared down at his own talon-feet as he traced the same circle over and over in the sand with one claw.

Colette was slightly surprised. "Oh?...And just who might that be?" she asked, the playful, and some what simple, mind of the otter starting to take over a bit more now for this now seemed like a game.

“Oh...err…err” he went blank, he and the mirror than never anticipated this happening, is was as far the make believe conversations went. He started switching his looks between her and the now large circle in the sand.
“We-Well…erm...” He tried in vain to come up with something amidst is tied tongue. He ended up gestured towards himself with his arm-wings, then giving out a sigh, disappointed how he’d just crashed and burned

She smiled and her tail kept on wagging. "Oh! A ha! I get it," Colette said as she managed to keep herself from glomping Nick. "It's you." And then now she glomped him.

“Hehe” He smiled widely as he gladly hugged her back, his feathers looking like some bizarre blanket over her back. Some odd Coo sounds escaped his lips too, Nick Owl side seemed pleased too. Though, he could help but feel something was wrong with Colette, why she seem to childish, where the changes effecting her differently to him? But he was too happy right now to care, he placed one hand on the back of her head and petted her gently.

Colette smiled down at him and sighed as Nick began to pet her. Her tail kept wagging as she curled up a bit ontop of him slightly. "That feels nice," Colette muttered as she set her head down on on his shoulder and then sighed again, slightly messing up his feathers.

Nick remained silent, just enjoying the moment. He was starting to feel a pleasant warmth from Colette’s body. He cooed again as her tail curled up by his legs.
“So..y-you wanna watch the sun set t-together?” He turned his head 90 degrees to look at the others, none of them seemed to be paying much attention to them.

Noah had stopped messing with sand and was simply staring out at the ocean, perhaps in contemplation. There was just something so relaxing about watching the waves. He turned to again glance briefly at the others. Feather-boy was talking to tail-girl, and they seemed happy enough. Over on another section of the beach, the boy that had been swimming was now talking to the unchanged one and another girl...Noah could tell she had changed, but what she was changing into he didn't know.
Everyone was talking to everyone. Everyone had someone. Except for him. He was alone again. Normally he wouldn't mind the solitude (okay, maybe he always did mind, just a little), but something in him was yearning for some company. Absentmindedly, he picked up his tail and picked at the sand that clung to the soft layer of fur. His hands moved rapidly as he tried to get those annoying, itchy grains of sands off his tail. It seemed like a fruitless pursuit though, so he gave up after a few minutes.
He finally stood up, brushing and off his makeshift cloak. He gave his body a shake, a tremor that rippled from his head, ending at his the tail-tip. In the process of his shaking, the hood he had been wearing slipped down off his head. The late afternoon sunlight bounced of his lightened hair, his ears twitching in the breeze. Frantically, Noah grabbed the hood and yarded it back up over his head, fingers clinging to the edges in a white-knuckled grip.
No one saw anything, right? He was still far off, right? Maybe they didn't notice. they were budy with each other now. He loosened his grip on his hood, dropping his arms again. For that moment that the hood had slipped down, he felt so exposed. But now that the hood was up, he felt secure again.
He turned and looked at the people dotting the beach again. He wasn't going to bother bird-boy and tail-girl. They were too happy together. Didn't want to mess that up. Maybe the other group? They seemed to be changing too, so maybe they wouldn't stare as much. Except the Unchanged One, the girl. But she was talkign with two of the Changing anyways...he might as well go over, even if for a little bit. That urge to want to be with people needed to be sated. It was that urge that got him out of his duplex, after all.
He took a few tentaive steps to the group, stumbling a few times over his feet. Stupid, stupid, stupid. He walked, shifting more of the weight to the front of his feet, walking almost on his tippy-toes. Easier that way, not as much foot to trip on.
He sort of gave a weak wave to the group, trying not to crack a nervous smile.
"G-guten abends!" he said, his voice cracking somewhat. "The ocean...it is nice, ja?" he ventured, whiskers twitching from under the hood.

Autumn turned her away as everyone seemed to buddy up with someone else, & resumed watching the fading sun. It had faded quite a bit, although a bit of light still shone above the horizon, casting the beach in a yellowish-red light.
While she was gazing out once more, she failed to notice the cloaked stranger finally slip up & briefly show his face. It wasn't until he had started walking over towards the group that she finally noticed his approach. It wasn't too hard to figure out he was having trouble walking normally. She didn't think too hard about it though, as he waved & finally spoke.
German, eh? Autumn thought as he heard him say hello that had an accent to it. She was reminded of two German foreign exchange students she had become good friends with when she was in high school, so the accent wasn't new to her. She didn't clearly understand what he had first said, although she assumed it to be a form of 'Hello.' Autumn had always wished that German was offered at her high school.
Raising a slender arm, she waved back at him. "The ocean is quite lovely," she responded, failing to notice the twitching whiskers.
