Chubbs lead Joliette inside and stroked her back softly as he followed her in behind and closed the door. Turning a light on, He went over to a pile of folded clothes on top of a dresser and pulled out a pair of black cargo shorts and quickly slipped them on before sitting on the edge of the bed. He reached out and took Joliette's hand in his own, he thought he'd at least try to look less than a monster.
" Sorry bout the nude thing... I er... was kinda tired and didn't realise."
Chubbs rubbed the back of his head, looking as awkward as he did with the girl he met the other day. He didn't need another fainter or someone pointing and screaming.
" Okay...believe us... this ain't easy tah explain. This islands like, some great big freakin experiment. People get tricked here and s**t and they inject ya and dump ya round here. Yeah... I am... was... well um... human... Names Chubbs.. I use to live in Brooklyn, but I came there from Australia. This Doctor Moreau guy said I could come here to win some cash in a boxing bout. Course that was all s**t"

"I came here by boat looking tinto the rumor about a actor thats here and got tricked to come ashore and got stuck here, I got here just before David did. I'm Joliette, I'm from Britain" she explained this to the woman "Everyone here is becoming something different, some kind of animal" she says quietly in her British accent

"Nah, it's cool," Kaveri dismissively waves a hand, setting it down on the armrest. "A little nudity isn't gonna hurt anyone." Not even if they're scary animal-men.
She does admit, though, that Chubbs and Joli are rather unsettling to look at. Oh, well. It'll start feeling normal with time, which is actually kind of disturbing in itself because the island and its inhabitants are hardly normal.
Kaveri strokes her chin thoughtfully, crossing her legs and resting her other hand on her knee. "I've heard a little about it from Miss Bobby -- do you know her? -- and I didn't believe her at first. Those shots they give you turn you into an animal," she says, her expression quickly turning into an angry one as she raises her voice, "And they're experiments? How incredibly ******** up! What's the point to these 'experiments'? This bullshit doesn't benefit society at all! What research does this... this... ******** 'doctor' want to get out of this?"
The hand on her knee balls up into a fist, and she pounds it on her thigh, sitting up bolt-straight. "I'm so tired of this unethical bullshit! It's one thing to ******** with animals, but to ******** with people? Who allows this s**t to happen?" She narrows her eyes, combing her brain for an answer to her own questions. "The <******** government," she hisses, every word dripping with venom.
"I was told this place was a commune where I could live off the land in peace," she says, shaking her head, "and live without having to deal with getting s**t for believing that having a place to live should be a priveledge, not a right. Those <********> bastards... They promised paradise to me."
She turns to glare at Chubbs and Joli, holding out an arm and making a sweeping gesture. "Does this look like paradise to you? I ******** fell for it, too!"
For a long moment, Kaveri is silent save for the sound of her breathing, and still holding her arm out. She slumps back into the couch, letting her arm drop to her side, rubbing her face in attempt to calm down. "Goddamnit... I'm sorry. My name is Kaveri. I'm from Olympia."

Chubbs stared at Kaveri and held Joliette's hand in his own, listening to the pent up outburst she let fly. He wasn't expecting that kind of reaction really, but maybe that was her way. Chubbs didn't know what to include after that small rant, but he tried.
" Tell me about it"
At the time it wasn't the best thing he could have said, but it was the best thing he had on him at the time. Chubbs nodded and was going to smile at Kaveri, least he tried to while keeping his mouth closed. Possibly seeing his teeth right now might put her off.
" I dunno a Bobby, least I don't think I do... there's so many to keep track of now days. Yeah they really do bullsh*t ya here, you hear anyones story, we've nearlly all been hoodwinked."
Chubbs scratched his chin thoughtfully and wondered what to say at all. Under the circumstances, she was taking it rather well.
" We are all different species.. so it's hard to know what you get... they've even managed to get me with three animals. If ya ever want to know, use ya intercom."

"Oh yeah, use the intercom, love that was a right good suggestion" she said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. She shook her head "I'm sorry I avoid the intercom, and David here has already put his fist through one. And the reason behind both is that gormless arse Sabin. He's right though we all have been tricked, they lured me off my yacht with the promise of an exclusive for a new movie supposedly to star Vasile DiRossi... That too was a rouse" her tongue flickered, it was instinct and she most often did little to stop it.

Kaveri is... temperamental. There's a very, very long list of things that set her off, and the subject of ethics is one of her many hotbuttons.
She clears her throat, forcing an awkward smile back. "I don't know if I'd want to hear the stories from other people who've gotten ******** over by the labs," she says in a fairly even tone, "it'll just piss me off even more, and maybe want to find that doctor ******** and kick his a**... but not after thanking him for providing me with free food and housing. For being such an a*****e, he does seem to spoil us. At least we aren't kept in cages or anything like that."
Kaveri arches her brows at Chubbs, surprised. "Three animals? What the hell, which ones?" She would have guessed different kinds of bears, judging by the claws and the fur.
Then she looks at Joli, "The intercom? I've never used it. But I guess it's a bad idea..?"
Vasile DeWho? Kaveri had been so detached from the media that the name didn't sound familiar at all. She hadn't been to a movie theatre, save for the independently-run Capitol, for years. Her brows furrow, and she knits her fingers in her lap. "Yeah... I guess we've all been screwed. And they know how to drag people over here, by offering us stuff that's been too good to be true."
"Figured it was a ******** scam, though..." She mutters to herself, shaking her head. Kaveri is used to being shat on by life, but this was just ridiculous.

Chubbs looked at the floor, he knew all too well the feeling of getting back at the doctors, and even though it was a dumbass suggestion, he wanted Kaveri to have the option of the intercom if she wanted it.
" You'll find well... they are a sneaky bloody bunch. If they come near us, you never know it... and well... as for violence.."
Chubbs sighed, he didn't like the fact he actually wanted to hurt people, but the other part of him believed to do it would bring him so much joy, it scared him. He felt the brunt of their security measure, it really did work.
" ..You'll find that if ya start breakin out the scuffles with either the staff or the islanders... you'll be unconcious in seconds."
Chubbs thought about that for a moment, and realised it may sound like he would punch her out.
" What I mean to say is .. umm.. they done something to uss.. I heard chips in our head... that like, all they have to do is say the right words and it'll knock you flat on ya a**. Me and Joli here both copped it"
Chubbs then looked down at himself and then at his clawed hand and ran his thumb claw over the rest of them.
" I have wolverine, tazmanian devil and grizzly bear in me... it's not a good combination...I've been changing for the worse."
He looked up with a serious look, he was scared for him and everyone as of late.
" Just a warning.. if I look pissed, try and avoid me... and uh, don't ever run away.. it's been getting hard to control things lately"

Joliette sighed "Animal instincts are hard I hope you get something that isn't too horrible, so far we have a snake, an iguana, a wolf, a bat, a cheetah, a sea lion, a hedgehog and a few others that I've met, I"m sure there are still islanders I've not met yet, as many units that are full... thats how many subjects are here minus one." She looked up at David for a time giving him a soft smile. It's not fun..." she looks back to the new islander "some have come to accept it, most of us just want to return home and be human again" she says... her voice never getting very loud

"That's mighty nice of 'em," Kaveri rolls her eyes in response to the 'security measure,' crossing her arms over her chest. "They turn you into these ******** up things and don't give you all a chance to fight back. I should have expected no less from a so-called 'doctor'... I ******** hate what technology has become."
She leans forward, interested in hearing what Joli and Chubbs have to say. Knowing the reputation of those three animals, she gets the impression that this combination would be a very rough one on the poor man. "That's awful," she says, shaking her head, "and thank you for that warning. I hope I never get to see you angry..."
Some of the animals Joli lists are some she's heard mentioned from Bobby before. "The more I hear about this, the more I am led to believe that this is less of an island and more of some ******** zoo," she remarks, wrinkling her nose with disgust and shaking her head. "Except the animals are people, innocent, regular people being forced into the mold of an animal. It's so... so ******** pointless. What is this going to prove? What is the point of these 'experiments'?"
She hasn't even met this 'Doctor Moreau' and she is already starting to hate him. In her mind, he is the epitomized faceless scientist in some dark old movie-style laboratory with caged up animals, blinking electric lights, countless buttons and levers, and colorful test tube racks - and on a table behind him is Frankenstein, for no particular reason.

Chubbs sighed and nodded again, agreeing about it all. It was effed up, it didn't make sense at all. As far was Chubbs had worked out, Moreau and Sabin and the rest of the staff were nerds with a torture fetish and a big bank account. He'd imagine that every horrible act that happened to them all was like porn to the staff, bunch of freakin sick bastards.
" Sorry this is a lot to handle at once, I don't like doing this, I'm horrible at it. Just thought ya needed to know what was going on before ya had a mental snap"

"I can't say I honestly know what they are trying to prove except that they CAN do it and that they like playing God" Joliette frowned at the thought. "Being the one to tell another person what is going on here isn't fun, even if it's telling for not the first time. Most often one isn't believed until it happens to them" she admits and looks up at David remembering skirting the issue with him not wanting to tell the truth of the place to him when she first met him.

((OOC: Sorry for taking so long to reply. I was bloody tired yesterday. sweatdrop ))
For all that it mattered to Kaveri, all scientists were like that: Sadistic dorks with a big budget. She shakes her head slowly, tiredly rubbing at her temples. "Nah, it's cool. I'd normally say I've been through worse, but... y'know, honestly, I can't think of anything that can top this s**t. It's like I'm on the set of some B movie."
"This is why I hate most scientists," Kaveri says to Joli, "they do this unethical bullshit -- and get away with it -- just because they can, and not for the benefit of society. If these assholes cared about the rest of us, I'm sure we wouldn't have to deal with s**t like cancer anymore, and instead, we have some island in the middle of ******** nowhere filled with people turning into animals."
For now, she pretends to not even hear the part about others not believing it until it actually happens to them. Currently, Kaveri is a part of that crowd -- or rather, she believes it, she just doesn't want to acknowledge the existance of the fact that she's going to become a beast-person. Denial is such a wonderful defense mechanism (no sarcasm intended, really).

" Yeah, I know the feeling, now at least. I don't like hating people too, and that makes me hate em even more"
Chubbs mummbled under his breath a few choice words anf then began to yawn. He did his best to cover up up his mouth to hide the rows of teeth. He couldn't hide the sound though, it sounded like a lion yawning, and he blinked and blushed a little.
" Yeah, ya think they could find some better use for their... well I hate to say it.. talent. It doesn't make any sense at all."
Chubbs had thought bout it for a while, all he could think of wast he Moreau was making some kind of new super soldier for the military. Guys that could swin like sharks and hold their breaths for hours. People as fast as cheetahs, Guys that were as strong as bears and wolves and tigers. Or had he gone completely mad and believed this was our next stage of evolution?

"I dont think they would even try to find a different use, they seem rather... set in their ways, even one of their staff that ticked them off is now among out numbers turning into something. Theres no escape even for them" Joliette sighed and then chuckled slightly at David's yawn. Her yellow tongue flickered and her stomach grumbled "I think I need to find something to eat before I get too hungry" she says quietly knowing what could easily happen if she didn't

Yawning is contagious. As Chubbs yawns, as frightening as it sounds, Kaveri soon follows suit. "Hate is such a strong feeling," Kaveri says, "but damnit, some bastards deserve it."
And whatever the reason it is Moreau has for doing this, chances are Kaveri won't approve. She doesn't really approve of anything else, anyways. "These ******** turn on their own selves, too? And they want us to be the animals," the woman gives a haughty laugh, looking at Joli just as she flicks her tongue.
...okay, that's a little creepy. She blinks a few times, forcing an awkward smile.
"Well, alright guys. It's getting kinda late, I should probably let you two go," she says, getting up, "It was nice meeting you two. I might come back and visit later when it isn't so dark out and my head isn't so... screwed up from this heap of an island."
Kaveri arches her back and stretches upward, reaching for the ceiling. "I'll be seeing ya around, yeah?"
