Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was early evening. Nita had woken up from her afternoon nap with her stomach growling. After a cursory examination of her mini-fridge, the red panda girl decided it was time for an expedition to the cafeteria.

She wore one of the new pairs of jeans provided by the doctor, conveniently low-cut so as to be comfortable for her tail, as well as one of the replacement tanktops. It was a quick trip to the cafeteria and Nita made her way through the line, grabbing her now-customary bamboo shoots as well as some assorted fruits and nuts.

Chana was not too happy about having run out of food in her duplex, and had resigned herself to the necessity of a run to the cafeteria.

She was surprised to see two people there already. A vaguely familiar woman, and a strange guy who looked either asleep or stoned.

"Um, hi there!" she called out, happy to see other people, who were not still human. She moved quickly down the salad bar adding her accustomed twigs to the leafy greens and snagging a few bagels for later.

Joliette's stomach spoke to her, that meant something important, least in her eyes... it meant get food or lose control, the later option was not an option if she had anything to say about it.. Fidgetting with a strip of film she'd developed and had been looking at in the sun she wandered intot he cafeteria.. her claws clicked as she walked. She peered around, she knew at least 2 of hte faces... but no more then that

Alec's worst nightmare seemed to come into effect as nearly everyone on the island (at least it seemed like it at the time) had apparently decided to take their supper at the particular moment he'd chosen to venture out. He saw the familair form of the komodo woman next to him in line and nodded only slightly, not feeling up to any extravagant motions. "Aye Jo'." Was muttered in a low and lifeless monotone as he continued serving himself food.

Quickly finishing his method of sloppily scooping gravy onto his mashers, he turned and spotted Nita's wave from her table. "Aye." Inwardly sighing, he went over and slumped into a chair beside her without much more of a hello.

Marlow nodded to the small congregation of people. There was a face he recognized, the red furred girl from his run in with Billy... though he didn't remember her being quite so furry. If she remembered him at all, it was likely she didn't remember him being so... whatever adjective could be used to describe his state. With his plate settled in his lap he began to wheel over to the table. "Thanks for the invite." He pulled a chair out of the circle and parked in its place. He immediately gave a wave to Nita. "It's good to see you again, Nita... especially in this less inclimate atmosphere." Gawking at a squid as he gathered his strewm possesions of his former lawn hadn't been the best setting for an introduction.

Nita quirked a brow at Alec. He looked.. less than great. "You okay?" she asked him. She nodded an affirmative at Chana, suddenly noticing Marlow's changes and having no idea what he could be turning into. And of course he remembered her name.

"Yeah, you too," she said with a smile. Dinner was much more pleasant than watching Billy pitch a fit in front of his duplex and storm off (as much as an octopus-man can) to the lake. Nita held out a hand to Joli. "I'm Nita. Nice to meet you."

"I'm good enough," Chana replied evasively to Joli's question. She noticed that even Joli had changed since the last time they'd met. Oy. She really had to start getting out more.

So she leaned forward. "I don't know about you guys, but there's a couple people here I don't know. I'm Chana," she added, for Alec and Marlow.

Meet the neighbors, right?
