"It's true, he really does play his drums all day," Nita quipped. Turning to Marlow, she continued, "I probably would have gone on to grad school, although I'm not sure for what exactly." She raised a brow. "Am I really that obviously the sort though? Don't answer that," she said in a hurry, mock-glaring at Alec.
Nita finished what was on her plate and glanced around apologetically. "Sorry to eat and run, but I really ought to get going. It was nice meeting you, Joli, and seeing you again, Marlow." She got up and disposed of her tray, messing up Alec's hair as she passed him. "And I see you all the time." Nita spent a few minutes gathering up a fresh supply of bamboo and other treats, and, with a wave, left the cafeteria.

Alec inwardly groaned as the subject of the conversation was turned towards education, that particular area being less than a prevalent attribute of his life. Being a drop-out meant exclusion from some chats it seemed. The teen smirked just as Nita threw her last comment to save herself from an inevitable remark from himself, though he chose to keep his mouth shut for the duration of that topic nonetheless.
As the panda girl made to leave, he flailed his arms behind him and grunted in irritation as she attacked his mohawk. He made somesort of grumpy retort along the lines of 'good riddens' before gathering up his own things. "Sorreh, 'am fallen asleep 'ere. See ye 'round Joli. Bye Mawlow." Soon after, he left the caf for a quick trip back to his duplex.

New RP
It ache. Everything ache. Even the unchanged areas ache! But walking ache the most
The recent changes had been a pain to Cody. Not only he had to deal with the pain, but his newest member was making his life a lot harder, specially in the clothing department
It pulled down every single pair of shorts he had, which really made walking difficult (not to mention showing his rear). He had tried to rip a whole in one of the pairs, but then he had no way to keep them from falling down his legs
So for now he settled in using a normal pair tied as firly as possible and tying one of his sweaters around his waist, letting it fall down over the tail
As for his feet he settled in walking barefoot for now. It wasn't pleasent but he was too hungry to think on a proper solution
As he reached the buffet the first thing his brain screamed for was for fish. Not vegetables, not pasta, just fish. And maybe some squid too

As promised, Alec had come by her duplex and dragged her outside to the cafeteria for lunch. At first she had a rather hard time getting out the door, the sun being horribly painful to her new eyes but at the same time being extremely refreshing on her scales. Walking was also a little problem now that she couldn't see in front of her, but after a few stumbles and with the punksters help to make sure she didn't run into anything, she got there.
And Cody wasn't the only one with wardrobe issues. Amaya only had one thing that fit her now, an over-sized white t-shirt that only came slightly passed her neather-regions. But when you had nothing down there to show save for a tail as long as yourself, it wasn't as bad... though drafty... and embarassing.
The green iguana's tongue flickered and her head cocked to the side as they approached the cafeteria. "Anyone inside...?"

Alec walked along with the unsteady and unsure Amaya, making sure she was ok most of the way as they travelled to the cafeteria. Although he hoped they wouldn't run into anyone while on their outing, a small part of him hoped they would just so that Amaya would be forced into a situation where hopefully she'd end up feeling more comfortable about herself.
As they reached the caf, the punk teen took it upon himself to go first. Sticking his head into the cafeteria, he gave a look around once. "'ELLO, anehone n'- ... Oh, is joost Codeh, c'mon." Without giving the iguana a chance to flee, he ushered her inside and let the door shut behind him.
As they moved towards the buffet, he couldn't help but notice the... protrusion in Cody's backend. Giving him an odd look from behind, the teen approached the boy but kept a few feet to his side just in case. "Aye Codeh... whassat?"

Cody hadn't noticed their approached until they were pratically next to him. His brain was still exausted from the changes, only processing at half speed
"Oh! Hi Alec, hi Amaya" he looked at them for a second, but not really paying much attention to the iguana's latest changes. Right now he was only focused in getting some food to appease his demanding stomach
"My new tail...." he blushed a bit in embarassement, not for having a tail, but for the way he was walking around with it. He seriously hoped they wouldn't notice his butt under the sweater

Codywhat? Though before she could say anything in protest, she was practically shoved into the cafeteria and the doors were closed behind her. Thankfully her tail recoiled, curling upwards and into the air before the doors could shut onto it.
Silently she watched the two interact, raising a brow at Alec's ever-so-tactful way of pointing out the little one's changes. Poor kid. She walked over to them, tail dragging along the floor behind her. "Hi Cody... are you feeling okay?" She knew how painful growing a tail was.

"Ohhh..." Alec let out in a sigh at the child's answer, seeing the obvious embarassment. Apparently the child's fears of changing had occurred sooner than either of them had expected though he didn't look too upset about it. He also hadn't given Amaya any weird but unintentional looks yet. Maybe this meeting would turn out alright afterall.
He fell silent as Amaya asked the same question he was about to, diverting his attention to grabbing a plate and moving down the line towards the meatloaf.

"It hurts everytime I walk. But it hurted a lot more when it started growing" he didn't mention anything about the feet or the ears yet. The tail had been by far the most painful
Cody filled his plate a bit more with some clambs. It barely had anything else that wasn't seafood

"Yeah, they always do. The soreness will wear off eventually though." Amaya reached up and ruffled his blonde hair gently with a large scaley hand. The fact that he hadn't even given two glances at her deformed face helped more then she could put into words.
She then gathered herself up a salad, a bottle of water, and an extra bowl to drink out of. "Watch out when you sit down too, that got me the first time. You might have to sit on your chair backwards." Ugh, she felt like some vetran now. Though at least she could help others through their changes now that her's was over and done with... hopefully.

As he topped the few chunks of the ground meat mush with a mountain of mashed potatoes, he watched the two interact out of his peripheral vision. He couldn't really add anything that was sufficient enough to provide comfort. At this point, Amaya was probably the best person for the kid to talk to, seeing as she had practically been through the ringer and come out alive.
Grabbing a bottle of water as well, he turned and looked for a table for the three of them. As he passed by, he also offered a gesture by patting Cody's back though he still remained silent.

Cody tried to unruffle his hair, but he nearly let his tray fall in process
"Ok, I'll do that"
He followed Alec to the table and tried sitting as Amaya had told him. It wasn't easy though because his whole butt ache. The only nearly confortable position he found was by sitting very near the edge, so the tail bended the least possible
Once settle he started to dug in the food, like he hadn't ate in weeks

The girl nodded and followed after them, spinning her chair around and sitting on it backwards. Her long tail stretched out behind her, almost reaching a whole different table with how long it was. "Are both of you becoming sharks then?" She asked, her voice still abnormally quiet.
She poured the bottle of water into the extra bowl, placing the empty container to the side before lapping it up with her large pink tongue like a dog. Even though she was still uncomfortable with it... what could she possibly do?

Alec was pleased to see that Amaya was finally giving in and changing her methods to better fit her lifestyle. He couldn't really imagine anyone really making fun of her for acting like an iguana... she practically WAS one. Were there people that cruel in this place?
As he grabbed his fork to begin eating, he stopped to answer her question in a mid-bite motion. "Neh. Codeh's g'nneh be a dol'fin, ay?" He casually gestured his head to the boy, going ahead and eating his first bit of food. "E's no' go' me big teef." He snickered with a full mouth.

"What Alec said"
For a moment Cody felt like getting up and show the shape of his tail. He had seen an image in one of those dolphin books comparing fish and water mammals tails. But he decided against it, not feeling like having the trouble of finding a good sitting position all over again
He notice Amaya's odd water drinking style. Seemed weird looking at a lizard drinking like a dog. But he din't knew how reptiles drank water anyway
And at Alec's mention of his own teeth he raised his head from his plate and stoped eating. He hadn't notice anything weird with the teeth when he met him. Were they really shark shaped?
