[New RP]
The gecko-girl rushed through the cafeteria doors, breathing increased more than it should have from her simple fast-paced trot to the building. Though spending almost 4 months in one's duplex didn't exaclty keep you in shape, and she was now realizing that.
Ontop of that, it seemed to be hotter than it should have been, and her eyes were unmistakably dry. This left her blinking, and gave her the urge to lick them, which was naturally dismissed as absurd. And strange.
Despite that, she had a mission, so she did her best to ignor it and move into the empty cafeteria, frowning to herself. Shouldn't there be someone here? it was practically dinner time by now, wasn't it? Or maybe she'd just missed everyone... Letting out a defeated breath, she started towards the counter, to see if she could catch the lunchlady's attention. Maybe she'd do something.

Indeed it was about Dinner-time, however it was earlier than Victor usually crawled his way into the cafeteria to get something to eat. The mutant lizardman scuttled his way to the door, and used his claws to work the door open before forcing his way inside, hurrying with the extra limbs of his back twitching and flopping around as he moved, but this time Victor wasn't quite fast enough and the door closed on his tail, making him yelp in pain before he was able to pull the rest of himself in.
The lizardman grumbled to himself as he looked at his tail to make sure it wasn't hurt too bad before looking around the Caf, only now noticing the Gecko-girl by the counter.....someone new he hadn't met, and silently hoping she wouldn't freak out like mercedes did when they ran into each other.
"Hhello?"

Natsumi peered over the counter, not noticing anyone yet, she inwardly debated calling for her... There was the noise of the doors, and then a hello that drew her from that task. She gave a releived smile, while she spun around, "Oh good so-" She cut off, already large eyes widening, back slamming against the counter on reflex to start backing away. It only took a few seconds for the cut off sentance to turn into a high pitched scream, short, but effective which then followed by a series of squeaky noises, hitting her in a wave like hiccups might.
Now. What in God's name was that? She thought she heard a person... Her eyes darted around, only to land back on the creature infront of her. Had some weird jungle animal made it's way in? And... Were those arms? How many legs did it have?! She found herself trembling, frozen and squeaking, not knowing that this thing was another islander.

Victor raised up his clawed hands, to try and show that he wasn't going to harm her. Natsumi's frightened reaction wasn't completely unexpected, but still wasn't pleasent when it happened. The lizardman crawled a short distance closer towards her. Was she squeaking?
"Hhey, not ggoingg to hhurrt you orr anythhingg!" He really didn't want the girl more frightened than she already was.
"Whhatssss you'rre name?"

The squeaks continued, though they confused her as much as they did Victor, she continued to press her back against the counter, ready to climb over it if need be... However. It was talking. "N-n-nani.." she stammered, between squeaks,
Name. Alright. She could do that. "Tanaka, Nat-sumi." She gave a loud chirp like sound in the middle of it, starting to relax-though barely. The gecko eased up on her place at the counter, following up with one of those questions that just slip out of your mouth when you're encountered with a strange lizard-creature that starts speaking to you: "You can talk?" A softer squeak followed her japanese accent, along with a hand to cover her mouth in an attempt to get these 'hiccups' to stop, or quiet down.

"Natssssssumi?" Victor asked to make sure, it was a bit hard to understand with the chirping and the squeaking the gecko-girl was making, but it wasn't as bad as he probably sounded to her.
"And Yesssss, I ccan sssspeakk, jussssst not ssso well assss I usssed too." The lizardman's second mouth mimicing the words as Victor spoke, curling his tail halfway around himself as he sat there, studying Natsumi, it looked like she was a lizard or reptile as well.
"I'm Vicctorr"

Natsumi nodded once, in a quick nervous fashion. It was finally dawning on her then, this was another islander, someone who was once a person. And with that, an overwhelming sense of guilt at reacting the way she had. Though really, who could blame her?
"A-ah..." she mumbled, forcing herself off of the counter now, but unable to bring herself any closer. Breathe, she coached herself mentally. "I am sorry... I did not know.." she mumbled, the squeaking slowing but not stopping all-together yet.
Her mouth opened to apologize more, before the reason she came here was quickly brought back to her mind. "Ah! Lauren." She exclaimed rather suddenlly on the memory "I came here... to get more people. For Lauren. She is ah... how do you say, going feral." she frowned alittle, tryign to pronounce the word the way she'd heard it from Miller within the last hour, and hoping she'd gotten it right. "So... I am looking for more people to help her." It was a rather botched explination, out of the blue and between accent and squeaks, but it was atleast something.

"Itssss alrrigghht, people hhave rreaccted worrssssse thhan you, lasssst perrsssson I met thhrrew a trray at me." Victor said, his large toothy snout moving and shadowing the words that came out of his lower mouth, sometimes Victor could stop it and others not so well, and others he just didn't care.
The Lizardman listened to Natsumi, Lauren? the name sounded familiar....but he couldn't recall who that was or if he met her before.
"Who'ssss Laurren? and whhatsssss wrrongg?"
