Amaya gave a small laugh and nodded. "I'm in duplex 20, which one are you in?" She was begining to get rather cold and stood up, grabbing both her apple and water bottle.

"Duplex twenty one." She stood up when Amaya did. Her stomach started to grumble when she realised she hadn't eaten since before the flight hours ago. "Hm.." She looked down to her stomach then back up to Amaya. "Um, I'm assuming if we're hungry we can just..um grab the food from here right? Free I would like to assume?" Her stomach growled again quite loudly this time.

The young girl nodded. "You can grab any food from here and..." She trailed off, looking around. "Theirs an entertainment center outside somewhere, I haven't gone to it yet. I need to head off though, I don't do so well in the air conditioning anymore." Giving a forced laugh she headed for the door, saying goodbyes and giving a wave to Awen. "Take care!"

She smiled softly and waved to Amaya. "You too hun!" Her mood sufficiently improved she wandered over to take a look at her selection of food. She ate quietly by herself, almost pleasently though brooding thoughts of the island and never seeing her friend Jon again threatened to sink her. When she was done she left and moved back to her Duplex.
"What have I gotten myself into..."

Awen couldn't stay in her duplex too long. She started to feel trapped and surpressed but mostly so alone. She tried passing the time with some video games, she must have beaten All Star Mode on Smash Bros five or six times in a row before turning it off. It just wasn't helping.
The knot in her stomach grew as she thought of her friends. If what everyone around her was saying was true... she would never see them again. More people that were important to her were ripped out of her hands and she was powerless to stop it.
She couldn't stand this dull silence anymore. She had to get out had to just go for a walk. She stepped out into the humid air of the island and took in a deep breath. It wasn't quite as refreshing as stepping out on a cool night back home, but it would have to do. A walk was a walk. She strode out from her duplex and into the village, just wandering and exploring trying to keep her mind away from the nagging sense of hopelessness that was slowly sinking through her.

Hargun, dressed in less Im-afraid-of-everyone-seeing-my-changes attire, hiked around the village area, toothpick in her mouth as she continuously fiddled with it between her teeth. She had just returned from eating yet another exotic meal of shirmp.. and candy coated insects.
"Ive been doing this every day lately..." she said, covering her eyes but looking up to the sun to sneeze. turning her head back to the ground and attempting to let her eyes adjust, she pulled out her orange beanie that was crammed in her pocket and slid it over her head.
"And that Halloween thing.." she began to mutter. "I need to get a costume idea for that.. I bet everyone already knows exactly what theyll be." grumbling, she fiddled with the toothpick again. She hesitated and popped at her slender fingers. And my sketchbook.. she respectfully thought, unable to try and count how many days it had been since she had touched it.
She countinued to walk until she caught sight (very blurry sight however) of a tall, blue haired girl. She must be new...? she pondered and waved. "Hey uhm... whoever that is?"

Standing at a mere five foot two inches Awen had always concicdered herself on the short side of average rather than anything tall at all.... except maybe the tall side of short? She looked up hearing the voice and only catches the ending bit of the wave. Another new person.... She had half a mind just to ignore her, pretend she didn't hear or something. But she knew she couldn't do that...
"Um, hello there. I'm Awen Zyn." She had said that so many times today she could barely stand her own name right now. She tried to sound cheerful but her concern and slight depression snuck it's way into the deep creases of her voice.

Hargun walked up closer so she could at least clearly see Awen.
"Oh hey Awen. Yep, you must definately be new.. havent heard yur name at all." she snorted. "Pardon me rambling. Anyways, Im Hargun. Nice to meet yah." She almost threw out one of her long jagged hands, but didnt know wiether or not this islander heard the news. Judging by her expression though, something urked her that she did.
"So.. when did you get here?" she asked casually, but careful at her approach.

"Earlier today..." She said remembering back to just something not so long ago when she was happy and excited about the new life the island would bring. Now she was sunken and depressed about what it could mean.
Trying to snap out of it she smiled a little bit and tried to think possitively. "Beautiful place here huh? Moreau did one good thing picking the spot for this clinic." That was a bonus, she guessed, it was astoundingly pretty there.
But traps are always supposed to look appealing at first...

"Indeed he did.." she said. "Just wish he could block out the sun maybe.." she muttered quietly under her breath and coughed to recover.
It now prooved to be obvious; her saying about what a great place it was.. yet the look in her eyes gave it all away. "Earlier today huh.. and I figure youve learned all about.. the stuff here, eh?" she asked and scratched at her ear. She must be heartbroken if she figured it out all in the same day.. I was deluded for at least two days.
She shifted the toothpick over to the other side of her mouth with her tounge and tried to look sensitive towards Awen.

"Well....." She sighed. "Yeah. I got a pretty big wake up call from Pyroth really...." She mumbled. She was trying just to ignore the happening of the island, maybe pretend like she didn't know for awhile. But this new girl seemed to cut to the quick.
She smiled though, trying to be possitive. "But hey... there are interesting people here anyway." She smiled. "I guess you get used to it after awhile...right?"

"Yea I guess" she said rather suprised. She WAS getting used to everything here like this. She figured shed be depressed day after day about her change, but now she was so used to it, that running around looking like a circus freak felt practically normal.
Hargun patted her on the shoulder and grinned, happy to at least know Awen wasnt completely psychotic about the whole mess.
"So.. uh.. just curious.." she said then started to quicken. "...Now dont answer if itll cause some sadness amoung us.. Ive seen it happen.. but what did Moreau use to convince you to come here?" she looked down to where she would be holding her sketchbook and shook her head, then looked back up to Awen.

"Therapy resort. I... was supposed to be treated for hydrophobia. A friend of mine actually convinced me to go." She laughed a little bit. "He practically had to push me onto the helicopter." She smiled but soon her eyes dulled. She would never see him again....
"But the Doctor assured me he would cure the phobia. I'm just afraid now of how. What...what if he's turning me into a fish!?" She started to panic a little at the thought of having to be thrown into the water and live there. She couldn't stand being in the water...at least not now.

"Wooah woah." Hargun tried to calm Awen down.
"Heh... I got dragged here because they told me I was going to an art community." she sighed and smiled. "But you know, despite turning into animals.. hes doing this for a -larger- purpose.. or at least thats what a staff member has told me. To find cures for really big and bad diseases." she tried to not sound like she was siding with the enemy. "But of course, as its been well pointed out, he hasnt done a good job of finding subjects.. or at least lying to them."
"Ugh.. sorry. This discussion happened when I met this one girl here, whose now become one of my best friends. Amaya.. have you heard of her?" she asked.

"Amaya?" Awen brightened up. "Yeah I talked to her before. She honestly made a lot of stuff make sense. Well... as much sense as this place can have." She paused a moment and thought to what Hargun wassaying.
Maybe Moreau was doing it for some form of good. Still..ruining people's lives... That's just not right.
"It's just not right..." She mumbled outloud.
