Deons eyes widened at her choice of words "Bi...bird?!" He asked "How...how big?! Is it gonna peck my eyes out?! Oh gods...please no..." Slowly the man walked towards Liz and then took a few steps behind her "Stay calm..." He muttered to himself "Stay calm...really...stay calm..." Then the man shut his eyes tight (although this wasn't noticeable due to his sunglasses) Then he placed his hands over his ears "Go away...go away...please don't come over here...bird...birds are bad...they dont like me...animals don't like me..." Deon was now babbling before sinking down onto the ground and curling up into a small ball "Don't...don't eat me..." His voice was shaky, as if he was about to cry from pure terror.

"Hey hey hey, hold on there! Did ya watch a Birds movie marathon? Calm down!" Liz pocketed her flask and scooched herself around and put her hands on his wrists quite shock at how quickly he degraded right in front of her. And she thought she was having a hard time! "Come on, snap out of it. Its just another islander!" Then it just occurred to her how far anlong the bird islander was and what the hell is that next to him? Liz had never seen an islander that changed before.

I know I know.... So long ago... What about yourself? You look like you finished a long time ago...
As for the offer to scare them silly, Cecil shrugged and nodded, why not. He could use a little insane randomness to brighten up the day.
He pointed forward and began to walk.
Onward!

Evi happily nodded in agreement to the finger pointing and walked next to him, absolutely unaware of the possible dire consequences to their little trick. She wasn't even paying close enough attention to watch one of the newbies start to have a mental breakdown. Without any warning, she expertly leaped of the ground and flapped her wings, glad to have a good breeze going on. She looked back at Cecil and motioned for him to do the same. She quickly flapped her way over to the two newbies, landing right in front of, she now realized, the girl one.
"Well, lookie 'ere!" She seemed to become a different person in two seconds flat, something easily done by someone who had undergone years of intense acting training. "Looks like we gots ourselves a couple o' newbies, eh? Enjoyin' yer stay in 'ell li'l newbies?" She smiled the same insane, rabid smile she had put on earlier, spreading her wings to their full extent for a rather ominous effect.

Already in a state of terror, Evi's sudden outburst didnt help the situation anymore. Deon Screamed and then kicked wildly away from the odd monkey and bird hybrid, utterly terrified now. "GET AWAY!" He shouted, still moving until he spotted Cecil. Selco stopped moving...he stopped shouting, and he slowly stopped to breath.
And under his breath he muttered, after the initial shock had worn off from seeing the bird "I'm going to hold my breath...I'm going to pass out...I don't want to feel it pecking out my eyes..."

Liz grabbed Deon holding him tight, trying to get him to calm down. "Deon, Deon! Come on, relax!"
She squinted her eyes clamping the bridge of her nose, shaking her head bewildered by the islanders and Deon's outburst manifesting as a terrible headache more than anything else. Great, they've gone insane and are hellbent on doing it to everyone else. If she wasn't so busy trying to calm town Deon she'd be spending more time harassing Evi and Cecil.
"What the hell is wrong with you, aside from the obvious!"

Cecil's eyes looked sad. If he still had a mouth he'd frown. He let out a breath, it was the singsong equivalent of a sigh. He may have gotten used to this form, but the people around him sure haven't.
He wasn't that scary, was he? Cecil wasn't so sure, it's been a while since he's seen himself in the mirror.
His wings drooped, he wrote in his notebook and showed it to the two.
Ah... Sorry about that, didn't know this guy was freaked out by birds. Just trying to have a little fun, you know? Cecil pointed at the little fuzzy man.

Sadly Deon couldn't read the writing...he was now in a fetal position, and twitching slightly. It was a shame really, the man always freaked out whenever a bird was close, and if it was a large bird, then when it was visible...and in this case...a very large manlike bird was not only visible, but close...

"Err..." Evi's act dropped as fast as she picked it up, more embarrased than ashamed. She looked at the ground, her wings, like Cecil's, drooping. "Err..." She tried to begin again. "I'm really, really sorry...we just, ah... wanted to have fun?" The last part came out as more of a question than a statement.
Hearing the scratch of a pen, Evi gently leaned over to see what Cecil was writing, as she was pretty sure the girl hadn't read it and the boy to freaked out to attempt to. "He says the same thing as me and is very sorry and just wanted to have fun. So, uh... yeah..." She lapsed into an uneasy silence.

Liz sighed shaking her head again,"I didn't even know either till...well, just now." She sighed again but an awkward smile was plastered onto her face.
"Was Moreau watching the Wizard of Oz when you happened to come to the island er did the wicked witch jus' forget one of her pretties? As for fun at the expense of others, i guess Moreau did more than just mess with with your genes........how long have you been here exactly?" The whole time Liz rubbed Deon's back knowing that consoling him at the time wouldn't be of any help until he made any attempt of pulling himself together.

Cecil shrugged and croaked out in his birdyman voice, "Vicb-tums of- ceer-c**-stance."
Words still didn't feel right on his tongue, or on his beak for that matter. Still, he was happy, it wasn't the best voice in the world, but it sure beat anything he had before.
He wrote the rest of his words down.
I dunno, six or seven months? Hard to tell anymore. You sure that guy's gonna be okay? I don't eat meat if it makes him feel better.

Deon slowly opened one of his eyes and looked up at the creatures, still fear in his eyes "Don't peck out my face..." He muttered "Just...just don't...please..." It was more of a whimper really. Yet he read the mans words on the notepad then sighed slightly, now slightlly understanding better "Sorry...I...I was attacked by a Bird when I was little at the zoo, really hurt...never...never got...got over that trauma..." Although he was still distraught this was a slight improvement.

"Gee, that really sucks," Evi commented sympathetically when the guy explained why he hated birds so much. "well, anyways, I'm real sorry 'bout before. Let me introduce myself properly, The names Evangeline, but everyone calls me Evi. I think I've been here 'bout a year or so." As she said so, she stuck her hand hand, more as a formal gesture than anything else.

Trust me guy, you're in for a lot more trauma around here. The kid plopped his notebook on the ground near Deon. It wasn't Cecil's best way of cheering someone up, but it was something.
He sat down on the ground, crossed his arms and folded his wings, trying to make himself seem a little less frightening. Having people scream in terror at the sight of you makes a guy self conscious, you know?

Liz slowly tried to physically coax Deon back into a sitting position with her chin resting on his shoulder. Her touch was surprisingly more delicate than he thought she was capable of since she usually acted more, tough. Then again she was a bit inebriated, but the only other time he's seen her like this was back at the bar. And even still, she never was outwardly gentle and handled her liquor much better than this. "I guess it gets to ya after a while, whether it be sooner or later. I think we've had enough trauma for a while at least for today. Elizabeth Stevens, call me anything but Elizabeth."
