"Yes... I met him." She trailed a bit, staring at the sand like if it was the most interesting thing in the world, biting hard on her lip to keep it from wobbling. It was hard to believe... but with the two beside her, it was almost impossible to NOT believe it, even if it sounded like a plot out of a book or a video game. It was just... too real. She'lld gotten good at distinguishing special effects from normality anyway... and it didn't look... fake.
"I-I see." She couldn't find any other words, or even will herself to move, as if the confusion and realisation had held their peak and took over, and she herself found herself wondering why she was not screaming... crying... whatever...
If this was true, and it all seemed so... Then she was not going home... She was not going to be... cured... wasn't see ?
At the moment, it was what seemed to hit the hardest.
But she had been right. It would have been worse... MUCH worse... to figure this out for herself.
"...Thank you..." It was all she found to say. "For being honest."
If the 0.1% of chances kicked in and it WAS a joke, the worst she would be would be being laughed at for being guilible.

Hargun nodded with a sympathetic look. It hurt. This was exactly why she didnt want to tell Joliette right away, but after Kim mentioned how long she was here for it was safe to say.
"Youre welcome..." she began, and put a hand on the other's shoulder.
"im really sorry youve been brought here.." she said. She wanted to change the subject.. but that would be absolutely impossible now.

"Im sorry you where, too." She seemed like a nice girl... now if only they could have met with a better beginining... The hand on her shoulder felt a bit akward, but conforting. Part of her felt sorry for having her mention this... but deep down she knew, it would have had to happen, and this... akwardness would have happened no matter what, no matter who, no matter where.
"Im Kim." She forced a small, melancolic smile on her face - it was the best she could manage at the moment. "And you are... Hargun, yes ?" She tried her best to commit the name to memory... She had head Colche mention it, but wasn't too sure if she's gotten it right.

"Ah. I was going to ask you your name. Yep, Kim. Im Hargun... I know.. its a tad odd.." she said, and grinned, then turned around and sat on a rock between Colche and Kim.
She let out a sigh and stared into the sand.
"So.. until now of course, have you enjoyed being here on this god forsaken island?" she asked and smiled weakly.

"To be frank ?" She tilted her head about. "I've feel akward in here since I came here. I don't like traveling all that much... my mom forced me here, because, well... She saw an ad that there was an experimental cure for diabetes going on in here."
And now I lost her... and she lost me... Her mind trailed. It was doubtful there was communication with the outside, it would break the secret... and even if the recipient thought it was a joke, it would have spread...

Hargun looked a bit suprised. "You were.. already told there was an experiment? I wouldnt have taken the offer even if they didnt say anything about animals.." The thought of being literally tested on, all day in a white clean lab in medical sheets came to mind.
"Although you said your mom made you come.. I guess its not your fault." she looked upwards, leaning back against the rock comfortably. "I came for an art community. It was my choice and now I somewhat hate myself for taking up the offer. Im really sorry you were forced here.."
If her mom forced her to go absolutely anywhere away from home without her consent, shed probably run away pr rebel compeltely.

"I know, I didn't want to... But mom is the only family I had left, you know ? She was dead-set that it was going to work... it's not her fault." She sighed a bit, laying against the side of the rock, and staring at the ocean.
But then, it hit her. An artist... she was an artist... and her hand...
"...Oh god, that's awful... Im sorry... I think ill'd go insane if I lost my hands..." And for all she knew, she just might. "Im a game designer, you see... I play alot of them. It's my passion, along with music. I just graduated..."
How could a man do this ?

Hargun stared expressionless for a while.
"Eh.. theyre not completely gone yet." she managed to say. "Ive decided Ill trade drawing for flying. It's whats been keeping me positive over the whole thing. But still.. Id love to hold a pencil again without having to use my toes.." she said, and curled them.
"Oh.. wow really? Ive always wanted to get a job in gaming.. of some sort. Although my addiction to my old games has died off to only DDR being my obsession..." she laughed.
"You just graduated? Thats neat. I was about to enter my senior year in highschool then came here. Although I must say now that I realize it.. I like not having school.."
But this place was still as much a prison as school was, if not more. Much more.

"Yeah, I was about to go job-hunting. I could have gotten in Ubisoft... it's... really wierd now, knowing that there's... probabely no way now." She shook her head a bit, sending the bangs spawling a bit. She send Hargun a grin. "I like about everything. Rpgs are more my thing, tho. And platformer. Too bad I didn't bring my DDR mats, or we could have played..." She had a DDR game right ? Did she even bring it ? Augh. With a collection like that, it was hard to keep track...
"I wonder how flying feels like..." It reminded her directly of the dream she had woken up to. How ironic, she had came here to forget about it... but in a sence, it was what happened.

"That wouldve been cool." she laughed again. "Imagine if you werent comming here, and you were just visiting.. you could make a video game about us."
She held her hand out and let the natural wind brush against it.
"I bet its gonna be pretty neat. Probably really freaky at first.."
Her face seemed to dull. "Moreaus probably got boundaries or something. But we were thinking if we could get some of us flyers off teh island, we could get help, and get everyone off the isle and away from that sick man Moreau."

"There's probabely some kind of boundaries... Is there any fish ? Fish, too, will probabely have some kind of thing... since, well... we're surrounded by water, wouldn't they just swim off ?" She sighed. "I might have been an interesting game... We had to write a senario for an exam, and one of my friends came up with something similar, kind off... It's a bit ironic. It was some kind of fighter game playing with totem animal concept."
More than a bit ironic, probabely.

Hargun almost instantly thought of Bloody Roar. Only images of her comrades who had changed enough to look a lot like their animals beating the s**t out of Moreau.
"That wouldve been really neat." she said and began to think about her first question.
"Well.. theres the Dude.. hes turning into some sort of sea animal.. a sea lion I think. He swims around the ocean alot." Im suprised he isnt here right now.. "But hes probably for certain to have boundaries as well.. and considering how much trouble he keeps getting into with Moreau, Im sure Moreau shortened it as much as possible."

"Hmhm." She nodded. There was no doubt that some tried to step up every chance they got, after all. She knew for once that she probabely wouldn't have the courage to do so.
The ocean was soothing... she didn't detach her eyes from it, sliding her glasses up her nose idely.
"I take it you only know what you're... becoming... when it happens ?"

Hargun shrugged.
"Actually, It depends. I had no idea what I was becomming during my first change. (And Im not so sure why Ive got non-bat like features...)" she mumbled, reffering to her horns.
"But after a while youll probably figure it out... from sleeping patterns, dreams, strange food cravings, and then the obvious physical changes." she faced Kim. "By the way... did you have any awkard dreams since youve gotten here yet?" she asked. This was always the first clue.

"I did. I woke up this morning from one, actually." She frowned a bit in thought. "I dreamth I was flying... well it seemed like it. I could only see sky, no ground and all... My father was calling me, and just as I reconized his voice, I woke up. I havn't dreamt about him in years... It was so wierd."
