Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bobby laughed full-heartedly, not concerned about the number. "I think you'd need to find a functioning phone first. Maybe I could get them to redirect my intercom to that..." the woman paused, as if she was seriously considering it.

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Pyroth. Just because I am turning into a cute chubby pig doesn't mean I am not an iron bar," the woman winked and grabbed a sandwich she made, taking a bite.

A torn piece of lettuce from the sandwich flung over at Pyroth as Bobby pointed it at him like a weapon, "Damn straight! Milk this Island for all it's worth!"

Bobby snickered, "We could always try the old fashioned way... get a couple styrofoam cups and a string! A seperate string attached to a bell for a ringer, too..." The woman paused again and shook her hands as if a, "Jeeves, bring me my ordorves!" After a laugh-attack, Bobby choked, her face, somehow, getting red from lack of air. "Okay... I don't know where that came from."

Changing her stance, the pig tried to flex. She poked the fat, pretending for a moment it was muscle, "Oh yeah, look at that... prime pork, right there!"

Bobby smiled, finishing her sandwich then licking her fingertips. "True, and think of it this way... at least the company isn't so bad?" The woman hadn't met anyone that she didn't like... besides Billy, but they technically had a 'pre-island relationship' that clouded any thoughts she may have of him that weren't angry or vengeful.

"I'm sure there will one day be a penguin.... I don't how we'd get him or her to served us... maybe blackmail or threats?" Bobby was joking, she'd never really do either thing.

"Muscle?" The pig poked the arm again, her finger almost completely submerged, "I think you are mistaken, that's all fat there..." She put her arm down with a wink, "The skin and bones will rule the world... if they don't get a paper cut and pass out from blood loss, that is!"

"Aww..." Bobby purred childishly, "Pyroth didn't play nice with the other little boys and girls?"

"Yes, it would not be pleasant for a penguin here.... more so than many others. Then again, I wouldn't put it past the staff members. They would do something like that." Bobby mumbled as she dug through the contents of her bag to see what else there was to eat.

"Ah!" she licked her lips, bring a small, full, coconut. Using her majorly sharp teeth now, and with a little coaxing, Bobby bit through, drank the milk, and then went to it eating the shell and meat of the fruit.

"Dear," Bobby snorted, "I think a thimbleful would only keep one of your eyes functioning!" She smiled, although the visual was really a bit disturbing.

"I'm not surprised at all. Grew up in New York City, we had more than our fair share of drugees and weirdo's. Sad to say, I didn't really hang out with them. I tried the stuff they had to offer and never really liked, or grew to like in some cases, any of it," the woman smiled, "That, and soon I became too interested in Trevor to worry about drugs, alcohol, and smoking." She wasn't sure if Pyroth really wanted to hear that, but it was true.

Bobby grinned behind her coconut, "First it's a Bobby Bag and now a magical one... I should invest in maybe marketing these too! Too bad money means nothing here."

She was glad that Pyroth at least felt he was getting a second chance. Many places, that wouldn't be an option. But was it also possible that he was starting to look at the bright side of things? Bobby hoped so, it made it so much easier to deal with one's self then.

The pig watched as the coyote got up to leave, taking his bowl with him. "See ya around, Pyroth. Take care of yourself, you have more to take care of now!"

And with that, Bobby was alone with her coconut. She finished it off, a little milk running down her cheek. Wiping her face, the woman went to restock her bag -because of the things she had eaten during their talk- and left the cafeteria in a happy mood. If someone had asked her about the incidents, Bobby might have been confused.

((END RP))

Nita ventured into the cafeteria, stomach growling. The few pieces of fruit left in her minifridge were long gone, and she needed to restock. This was her first real emergence from her duplex since her change... and of course her favorite downstairs neighbor would be sitting there. Nita blinked. He looked different. Upon reflection, it made sense that Alec would have changed as well, since they had arrived together.

She made her way through the line quickly, wondering if she even knew what bamboo leaves looked like. The shoots, of course, were familiar from lo mein. Which sounds really good right about now, she thought, suddenly missing the local Chinese dive near her old dorm. Ah well. Scrambled eggs and some varied fruits would have to do for now. Nita padded over to Alec's overburdened table and pulled up a chair.

"Hey there," she said simply.

Nita rolled her eyes and sat down. Idiotic company was better than no company at all, right?

The red panda said WRONG.

"Holy s**t, I am??" Nita looked down at herself, feigning shock. "Heyyy, thanks Alec, I sure wouldn't have noticed that without you!" She grinned to show that she was just teasing. Mostly. Oblivious neighbors aside, Nita was still in a great mood from the time she'd spent with Lauren. "And you're toothy," she replied equably, eyeing the piles of food around him. Her stomach growled again and she bit into a nice juicy pear.

"Oh yeah? 'Least I can eat without slobbering on myself." She snickered, not particularly bothered by his teasing. "And I've been reliably informed that fur is sexy." Nita managed not to blush, wondering what in the world had led her to say that. Perhaps some vague desire to change Alec's opinion of her.

Nita accepted the salad with some grace, thankful for her automatic habit of grabbing flatware even when she didn't need it.After a few bites and a couple moments of looking Alec over, she asked, "Any idea what you're gonna be, then?"
