"Yeah, me too... there is a lot that could happen out here." Amaya nodded, luckily nothing that could have physically hurt her had happened... yet. Our of superstition, she knocked on a tree while walking by one. A knock-on-wood gesture picked up from her father.
Though now with nothing else to really say, she tried to access what the woman had been going through all this time alone. "So where did you wake up when they moved all of us?"

Kim laughed a bit, and knocked on the same tree as she passed next to it, knowing well what it meant. She was so glad, so happy to have someone to talk to, that she didn't realise she was about to almost throw her life story at Amaya.
"I woke up at the bottom of a mountain... with a ratter... pissed Jamal on top, actually. He was ticked off, he got me ticked off, it wasn't pretty... so I just went my way eventually because I was sick of hearing him. Better that than starting a fight." That, and she never felt confortable near a man with drugs. "I managed to get back, as I said, to find everything locked... Not even trying to break a window worked... so I went back in here and searched for others. I didn't really... manage it, as you can see." She gave a nervous laugh, then turned serious again. "...At first it wasn't too bad... I was really ticked, and... oh, hell, you're a girl, you understand what I mean." Lovely time of the month. "...But things began... getting bad. Im diabetic... and I ran out of insulin." She instinctively pointed to the black strap-on bag that hung on her hips. "I tend to get low blood sugar in the night so I always have some on me... But yet, I dunno, im not... I mean, I passed out once or twice, but it's like it's stablising itself somehow. Then I saw..." Did they all know... ?
"I saw some kind of deer in the woods. A deer... with feathers and a beak. I got really freaked out..."
She felt into sillence again, but it lasted longer. Talking about this... even to basically a perfect stranger... might help. Therapy by talking, they say... It was better out than in.
"...I just transformed all of sudden, out of nowhere. No needle marks asside my own... It was so scary, and it hurted so much... And when it was all over... it was like everything became so cold, that I just fainted on the spot. The same kind of thing happens every night now... I mean, I don't faint anymore, I guess shock helped... but I just... I dunno. It's like I can't think... I just slow down."

Amaya didn't interupt Kim's story, allowing her to talk would help her. "Well, it's good to know you didn't hurt yourself in the mountain. I woke up on the helicopter pad where... I found the helicopter had crashed if you didn't know already. There were two charred bodies inside. I screamed... and... that's when Ambrose found me. Ever since then we've been finding others and making a camp. We've even checked the labs. Locked up tight with no sign of any staff." She let out a small sigh, but kept walking.
The iguana-girl winced at the thought of being diabetic and having to stay out here so long. She could have died for heaven's sake. What the hell was Moreau thinking, throwing them to the wind? He was such a cruel b*****d. She scorwled just thinking about him, biting back the hiss that threatened to come forth.
"A deer with feathers?" She blinked, pausing for a moment to look back at Kim. "That sounds sickingly familiar... only a few days ago I was out with Greer and we found what looked to be a rat... bird... thing. It was so pathetic and in so much pain... we ended up killing it and burrying it." Her head droped at the remembrance of the poor creature.
"And, as much as I hate to say it... I think your cold-blooded now." Amaya frowned, looking back to the woman. It was such a horrible thing to befall someone. "I am too. When it gets too cold, my mind gets all hazzy and my body just... shuts down."

She listened as well, and almost stopped clean when she mentionned the bodies. "What ? Oh... oh my god. That's horrible..." She swallowed the lump that was forming in her troat. "...Any idea... who ?"
"It didn't... look pained actually. It just kinda looked at me... then left. It was so wierd... I can't really explain what happened there. It was just... so wierd and surreal. But I know I havn't dreamed it... All the... dreams I've gotten since I came here focused on flying..." She had no idea if anyone else actually had dreams like her. "...You did the right thing, if it was in pain... but even then, I don't think I could have brought myself to kill it. I've been living off fruit since this whole thing started. I could never bring myself to kill another living being... even if it would be the right thing."
An eyebrow rose sightly, trying to stay focused on Amaya - it was relatively easy now that she was so close, but she had to make sure she didn't get out of the radius where her sight started blurring too much. "Cold-blooded... ?" ...Well, damnit. She hadn't thought about that one second... And she had to admit... "...It makes sence, actually." The woman felt a bit dumb for not thinking about it. "That's exactly what's been happening to me... Kinda like how frogs fall asleep in winter or something ?" ...This was odd. So odd.
"...That's seriously making me wonder what kind of reptile has creepy fingers like this, however." It wasn't hard to see that they where what was bothering her the much out of the whole thing.

"No... I really don't know." The lizard-girl said, frowning. "Not even clothes were left on them... but we've come up with a few theories. Some thing it might have been an escape attempt... or maybe that big guy crashed on his way to bring in a new subject." She shrugged a little. "It leaves so many questions unsolved though..."
She continued to listen to Kim, adding her own thoughts as they walked. "Yeah, I didn't kill it myself... Greer actually did." Putting her foot down on a vine, she grabbed it with her toes and pulled it out of the way before going on.
"I thought the same thing after me... first change." Amaya said with a tiny wince. "My fingers and toes grew a lot the first time, and even more the second." She frowned, holding them out in front of her and flexing them before dropping them to her sides once more. "I didn't know I was... turning into a green iguana until after the second time." A pause, green eyes glancing back at Kim. "I really dunno what you could be turning into... I'm sorry."

"That's so odd..." She sighed a bit. "It's allright. Im not... too sure I want to know. But at the same time I do. It's... really ******** up. It's just wierd, really... it was only this one that grew, the rest didn't. At least not as much."
She was really thinking for a moment, extending her arm and pulling the fingers as far away as she could, a shape almost similar to a bat wing shape. "...Hm."
And it was when she walked right into a tree that the longer finger came in collision with, and she let out a yielp of pain as she withdrew. "Ha, how smart... Ow..."
Someone needed an ajustment in distance calculation.

"Huh... well... once we get back into the duplexes, maybe you can find a book that might point you in the rig-" She spun around at the sound of the collision, stiffling a laugh. "Oh jeeze, you okay?"

"Yeah..." Didn't look like it was broken, with how relatively painless it was to bend it. "Without my glasses, I have the distance perception of a coconut."
This would, of course, had sounded better if coconuts could actually... see.
"Smacked hard, but I don't think I hurt anything. I better get used to it." She siffed a laugh.

Amaya laughed, though turned to start walking again once the woman seemed to be doing fine. "Yeah, we all have a lot to get used to... I've had to adjust to being out and about in only my underwear." Another nervous laugh as they came upon the river. She stopped and creeped down to the edge.
"Can you swim? It gets a little deep in the center." Green eyes looked back at Kim, one large foot already in the water.

"Oh, you can't tell me im much better." Her shirt, beaten up and full of holes allready, was not getting any better, and she was unfortunaly lacking a bra - thanksfuly that area was still covered just fine. Her leave skirt was missing a few leaves, and, upon sight of the river, ditched it outright, revealing pink panties. Hey, they where both woman, anyway. And whatever male population back there was probably used to seeing panty shots by now.
"Yeah, I can swim just fine." She followed in, the coolness sending a tiny chill up her spine, but it overall wasn't too bad.

"Yeah, and I know someone who came into our camp nude. I've never been so thankful for clothes. Though no names will be given out." The iguana-girl smirked before wading as far she could into the river, then once she couldn't stand anymore she plunged under and quickly swam to the other side. One thing her hands and feet were good for, they were kind of like big paddles.

Kim couldn't help it.
She laughed. And she laughed hard.
"Oh my GOD." Snrk. "Oh, that's awful... I figure that person managed to solve that problem ?"
Oh, that was just awful, yet she couldn't stop laughing. She only managed to when she almost accidentally shallowed a mouthful of water, swimming much slower that Amaya did. Her hands made it a bit more akward... But she still swam just fine.

Amaya haden't had enough time to respond to her, but she did once she popped up on the other side and waited for Kim. "Yeah, thankfully another 'camp member' was able to lend her a shirt."

"Oh, thank god... I think I would have died if it had happened to me." She was embarassed just by thinking about it.
She came out about a minute or so after, instinctively staring to squeeze water out of her long hairs. The "bath" had been much welcome, and had gotten rid of most of the leaves that had wound up tangeled.

"I second that." She nodded and waited for Kim to finish squeezing out her immensly long hair before walking up the bank. "Camp is just a short walk away now."
After making sure Kim was following, she began to trek through the jungle again. Though it did seem like this side of the river had been more 'used'. It wasn't long at all, maybe 10 or 15 minutes before she brought Kim to their little camp.
"Welcome home, I guess." She smiled and gestured around to the wooden lean-tos, small fire, weapons, smoked meat and fruit, almost everything someone needed to survive seemed in plentiful supply. "You can stay here for as long as you want."
