Welcome to Gaia! ::

The words "Floor 8" were spoken through a fog, and then there was the sensation of all too quick movement... and then blackness.

An indeterminate amount of time later, soft mattresses underneath, and blissfully cool air conditioning greeted her to slow conciousness, and a full-body ache.

Sabin was standing in the main room in duplex 27. Joliette's things had been brought in, and she was lying in the bed. Sabin was waiting, his hands clasped behind his back for her to wake up.

"Ah, good! You're awake!" Sabin smiled, walking to her bedside. "You passed out shortly after we went to the elevator. Our doctors took care of you, though, don't worry. We brought you to one of the rooms - that some of the actors who were done filming left vacant. You might still be feeling somewhat woozy, though. You're lucky you were here when the symptoms hit you..." A frown tugged at his mouth and he looked at her, before taking a breath.

"Feel free to rest here as long as you need." He smiled. "I took the liberty of bringing your things to the rooms." He gestured to the luggage.

"This is room 27... The keys are sitting there on the bedside table. Feel better.... and try not to get in the actors' hair too much - they're supposed to be working, no matter how much it might look like a resort" he winked.

Sabin smiled, lauging behind his eyes at the selection he got to make. Silly vegeterians... and the press.

Sabin smiled and nodded. "You feel better. If you need anyone, just hit 0 on the intercom there* He pointed to a place on the wall.

He paused for a moment before turning to go. "And no problem. I'll be seeing you. And... I left the script on the desk for you." He winked. "I'll want that back before you leave... but in the meantime. Feel free to look it over."

He turned, opening the door.

Sabin nodded, pausing on his way out the door. "No problem. And if you get hungry, there's a cafeteria in the center of the village. Good luck, and get well soon!"

And with that, he opened the door, and was gone.

-New RP-

Hargun paced along the line of duplexes, frustrated in a trail of thought. Ever since seeing Ambrose and Greer's changes, she couldnt help but feel a heavy weight of guilt on her shoulders for freaking out, and it wouldnt go away. She really wanted to talk to Ambrose and apologize, but seeing as he wasnt out and about at that moment she knew it wasnt doing her much good.

As she began her walk downwards along the duplexes that had just so seemingly been occupied, she sighed. This population of island prisoners was growing ever so much. It was to the point where she was itching with curiousity as to how many people were actually here. How many people, who's lives were possibly now ruined if not made better.

But someone caught her eye as the door to a duplex opened, and someone apparently unfamiliar was emerging from it. Oh my.. she.. she must be new.. damn Moreau. she thought, and slightly quickened her pace. She wasnt afraid her appearance would frighten them if they WERE new... until they found out the truth. Of course Moreau or one of the staff members would make up a downright lie about everything. It was repetative.

"Oh uhm.. hey!" she called out, trying her best to smile without looking weary.

Hargun grew a bit nervous at the woman's hesitation. Good.. at least she isnt running away right now in holy terror. She nodded and grinned more. "You must be new here huh?" she asked then jogged up a little closer. Hmm.. I wonder what she was told... how am I gonna find out? I cant just go out blurting the truth.. she needs time. she thought and as she got close enough to see correctly, noticed the camera. NO WAY..

Hargun looked a bit confused. "..Youre not gonna be staying here.. for.." she couldnt find a time that would work there. She almost started laughing pitifully, just from disbelief. She'd be here fo a long time alright...

"Well anyways.." she began. What now?

"..have you erm.. bumped into.. the staff yet?" she finally asked. Yes.. 'staff' is a start.

Movie. She thinks.. we're filming a movie.. okay. Good, I can play along.

"Oh oh.. yea sorry. Thats what I meant." she said sheepishly scratching the back of her head with her "thumb". She wasnt exactly familiar with either.. only seeing Vasile a few times and unaware Duvert was the Sabin she met at the Halloween party.

"Oh, and allow me to introduce myself.. I am Hargun Aikason. And you..?" she asked, making a light bow with her webbed hand to her tummy.
