Aislinn laughed, shaking her brightly-coloured head,
"If that's not the most ridiculous request I've ever heard. Sure, you can talk to me."
She sipped her tea again, peering down at the papers and then back at the woman,
"I don't suppose you know much about Japanese customs, eh?"

Caitlin sat opposite her, folding her arms stiffly on the table, and blinked.
"Nothing at all. Why on earth are you asking?" Not even asking for a name? Maybe the girl was just deep in thought, or researching something.... but wait, why be researching? Did she even know the predicament they were in?

Aislinn smiled,
"Well, Sayuri-- she's a Maiko-- and I are going to have a tea ceremony, and I want to make sure I get everything right. I've done some research, but I haven't spoken with Sayuri yet and if you knew firsthand, it'd work just as well."
She stretched, setting down the pencil,
"But if you don't, I guess it doesn't really matter. Hello, by the way. I'm Aislinn Derry."

"Hullo, Aislinn." The woman tried to smile soberly. "I'm Caitlin, and I'm sorry I don't know. It would probably be best to talk to your friend about it." She took a deep breath, trying not to pick at her sleeve nervously.
"I.... only got here at the end of last week. Why you might want to have a tea ceremony does elude me, I'll admit that..."

Aislinn shrugged,
"It's better than wallowing in self-pity, isn't it? Keeps my mind off things."
She shivered a bit and then stared at her paper, as though that would hold the answers. As long as she had something to do, she wouldn't be thinking about the fact that she might soon be turning into...well, an animal of some sort.

"You do know then. I mean... I...." Caitlin pulled herself together with a frown, and let her breath out slowly, letting her tone become businesslike.
"I... read a noticeboard. That said we were all part of this 'research'. It's true, isn't it?" Her eyes were flat, and she absently tucked her hair behind her ear. "But you seem so normal..."
Subtlety was not her strong point, it seemed.

Aislinn shuddered,
"Oh. Yeah, it's true. I've seen a..well, a lot of people who've started changing 'n stuff. You should have been at the Halloween thing, it was..."
She shivered again, looking down at the paper, fiddling with the pencil,
"But...but..there's nothing to be done, and no point dwelling on it. I'm still normal now, maybe I'll stay it, right? You never know. Maybe I'm not part of the same experiment. Maybe they're really just going to fix me up."

As Shenzi entered the cafeteria, she gave the room a quick run over; she saw Aislinn in there, talking with someone she didn't know. Deciding not to say hello just yet, Shenzi walked over to the food line, hands in the pockets of her leather jacket; she was wearing a tube top again, a vivid shade of red, and tight plaid green jeans with heavy black boots. It was warm enough to wear the shirt, but not enough to go without the jacket.
Grabbing a tray, she stood in the line, looking at what there was to offer, her blue hair tied into two braids, one falling over her shoulder; she had skipped on her hat today.

Gallen had not been feeling great since the Halloween party ended, for the past two days he stayed in his duplex, socking once more in a hot tub. What ever the doctors had started to do to him seemed to require him to instinctually need to be in warm at long periods of time.
But today was a beautiful day, and he be dammed if the events of the Halloween party or of what the lab had done to him would stop him form enjoying the day. He decided to head to the cafeteria to get a nice breakfast. As he stepped out side he took a long stretch and then rushed to the cafeteria. Once in he quickly wondered to the buffet tables. He was dressed in a green shirt with the Green Lantern logo printed on it, his usual kaki cargo pants, and his trade mark blue chucks. He also had begun to wear the gloves he got for his costume so to cover up the scales forming on his hands.

Shenzi looked up as someone else entered the cafeteria; it wasn't that full, so it was hard to not notice someone coming in. A short blond guy, by the looks of him. Shorter then her, and to Shenzi at least, that was saying something. Raising an eyebrow, she gave him a friendly smile while picking up a sandwhich. "Hullo there, Blondie."

Gallen looked up and grinned as he saw the blue haired girl. “Blondie?” he blushed, not many girls called him that, let alone noticed him back in new York. He wondered over and started to servie what was out for breakfast.
“Not sure what to say in response to ‘Blondie’” he grinned “your new around here, no?”

She laughed, grinning at him. "Yeah, got here last week for rehab. How could you tell?" Shenzi asked, sticking her tongue out at him before laughing again, taking her tray and grabbing a drink. She stood at the end of the line, leaning against the railing that seperated the lines, waiting for him to grab his stuff. "Want to sit with me?"

Before Gallen could respond she had asked him to sit with her, he blushed then snapped back to reality. “Rehab? Oooh that was there way to trick you here?” He sighed as he grabbed a salad and a small piece of fish. He soon joined her on the opposite side of the bar. “Well it is not hard to notice, you are one the few here who are still “Normal”. He grinned as his slightly pointier and fuzzy ears twitched. “So would you like to sit by the window, and enjoy the day? It is lovely out side” a bit of his Irish accent bleed through with those last words.

Shenzi let off a sigh, rolling her eyes. The constant repetition of 'Lies, tricks, turning into animals' was slowly wearing her down. She believed now, after seeing Newt and talking to him, but still. "Eh, doesn't matter to me." She said with a shrug, making her way to one of the window tables. Her tray clattered onto the table loudly as she sat down, grinning at her companion. "So, what's your name, Blondie?"

Gallen set his tray down and smiled, “Gallen, Gallen Marcuss. And your name is?” he sat down and looked up, his green eyes meeting hers.
