New RP
Awen sat by the TV in the gaes room. She had the entertainment system pulled a little way fro mthe wall and was sorting through a mess of wires. "Urk, who hooked up all of these things? What a complete disaster!"
She had meant to pop in quick and grab her PS2 to haul it back to her room for a bit, but the wires had completely slowed her down. "Knots....how do you get knots in this kind of thing, for gosh sakes!"

Alec waltzed into the entertainment room, intent on trying his hand at some Xbox gaming so hopefully he wouldn't be that horrible once he finally got Rex to play with him. He wasn't surprised when he saw someone in the room once he entered, having heard her grumblings from a ways away.
"Problem?" He coyly smirked, watching her wrestle with the wires as he approached. He could see she was clearly one of the "changed" but by that time it didn't faze the punkster one bit.

Awen paused to blink up at the guy with the moehawk and blinked. Sure people around her were changing into animals, sure the science fiction had turned not so fictiony...but that type of haircut...always confused and bewildered the poor girl. She smiled brightly and waved anyway. New islander...ish...but may as well be nice to him.
"A few." She laughed looking back to the wires. "I was just trying to take my PS2 back to my room... but I think it has some other plans." She sighed and flopped the wires down.

The teen took it upon himself to take a look at what was hindering her, wandering over to peek behind the tv at the catastrophe of knotted wires and misconnected plugs. If she knew him well enough she'd have told him to keep his nose out of it. Alec Derring knew little about electronics. "Lemme tek-a look." He smiled and butted around the other side of the tv at the mess. "Hm..." Before anything else could be said, he kneeled down and began rummaging through the mass of cables, trying to figure out where one ended and other began.

Awen blinked and watched as he took a look at the wires from the other side. She didn't see the harm in it. "Well... it's not totally nessisary. I know what cords are what. I'm just not very good at getting the knots undone. Um.."
She held up a webbed hand and sort of wriggled her fingers a bit. "Not as good at finer work as they used to be." She gave a weak little 'heh'.

Alec blinked and looked up, giving a blank stare at the girl. "Oh." He only gave her hand a short look before looking back down at the mess in his hands. "Well, if ye know wha' goes where..." He trailed off before reaching up, yanking a bundle of cord out of the wall in one fist. Pleased with his solution, he went about untangling the knots one by one now much easier without them attached to anything on one end.
"Wha' ye name?" He 'politely' asked, face down in his work.

Awen's eyes went wide as he yanked the cords out from where they were supposed to go. She knew where they went because she saw where each connected. If she could have gotten the right ones out...she had been working from her PS2 and back not the other way around. Her mouth hung open still for a few seconds after he asked the question.
"Uhh....I'm Awen...." She blinked again. It would take awhile for her to figure out where to plug things back into. Oh well..nothing she could do now. "Awen Zyn. What about you?"
She sat back and let the man work.

Alec went about unthreading the cables from eachother, easily prying the PS2 from the mess and placing it aside. "Alec Derring." He leisurely replied, moving on to another set of knots. Finally something to do around this place! "Nice t'meet ye. A gameh?" He motioned his head to the gaming console, impressed that it was hers.

She nodded slowly and chuckled a bit. "As much a one can be here anyway...." She gave a small smiled. "Um... the GameCube and games are mine, the Xbox is the island's. If ever you see a 360 in here, mine as well. Unless Lauren brought her's in..then that's different. But yeah mostly my stuff. I know Kim..." Awen just realsed she hadn't seen Kim in a long time. "Is a fellow gamer, I'm not entirely sure what she has here... a lot more handhelds than I have. Oh! But I got this modified PSP. I can play it while I'm underwater, it is so cool."

Alec gawked as she rhymed off all the consoles she owned, amazed that there would be such a hardcore gamer on the island, much less a female one. He honestly hadn't had the opportunity to play anything like that back home. "Wateh?" He crooked an eyebrow, fiddling the mess of wires in his hands. It was an odd thing to modify a handheld for, admittedly never thinking it was even possible.
Making quick work of the rest of the knots, the teen turned and stare at the now-empty sockets that presented a new and unforseen problem for him. "Uh..." He began, jaw opening as he pointed to the puzzling connections as if she knew the answer.

Awen chuckled a bit and took the cords from him. She started working her magic reconnecting the wires that Alec had just untangled. "Not a problem...not a problem." It was actually a lot easier than she thought to figure out what went where. She paused occasionally to check where a cord was connected to originally.
"Yeah, you know so I can play underwater...when I'm in the lake or something re-hydrating my skin. What do you think I've got all these webs for?" She laughed.
Alec shuffled to the side to allow her more room to work. He mutely watched her go about reconnecting the web of wires he had yanked out, figuring he'd 'helped' enough. "Lake?" He sideglanced to her, a little confused by her explaination. It didn't help that he had never really bothered to notice there was a large lake nearby.
"A' d'neh." He mumbled, not realizing she had asked a rhetorical sort of question. He knew little about marine life enough to pinpoint what she was turning into by sight. "Ye turnin in'teh a fish?" He decided to outright ask, naively like a child would.
She smiled up at him from her work and nodded. "Manta ray to be exact. Not really the typical fish.... kind of solo creatures, ya know, eats fish, only get bullied by sharks. Real masters of the water....er.. from what I read anyway. Never cared for water much before. Figured I'd brush up a bit, so I could know what to expect." She looked back down to her work and kept plugging away. Idly she wondered what the teen infront of her was turning into. "So... how long have you been on the island?"

Alec seemed a little lsot in thought as she spoke about the animal she was being transformed into, silently considering looking up pictures in one of those... books. Doorstops.
"A week o' two?" He fidgetted with the chain hanging from the pocket of his plaid shorts, tugging on each link as he continued to watch her work. "A' kinda lost track, yanno?" He chuckled a little, not really minding. If there was more to do then maybe he'd have an excuse for not keeping track of time. "Ye?" He paused for a second before deducing his own answer. "A long time a' guess."

She nodded slowly as she plugged in the last cord and sat back. "Yeah.... a long time." How long had it been anyway? She sat for the moment in thought. Woah... "Six months..." She said softly as thought it was the first time she had realised it herself.
Had it already been half of a year that she had been on the island? Had it been so long a time? A cold chill ran through her body.
But Awen ignored it. She stood up and pushed the entertainment system back to the wall. "Ah well. Guess you're still getting used to the island? Where ya from?"

Alec chuckled, shaking his head. "A' keep thinkin 'am used t'i' yanno?" Seeing as Awen was replacing the electronics to their proper position, he figured the job was finished and he got up to flop down onto a couch instead. "An' then somethin new's thrown a' me." The teen shrugged it off. He was too carefree to worry about the bigger picture anyways. "Ah well, a' d'n care anymore." He smirked and stretched his arms over his head. "Belfast. Ye?"

"Barrie." She replied as she sat down on hte couch across from him. "As in Ontario, Canada." She paused a second thinking about something. But eventually she just blurted it. "Where the heck is Belfast?"
