Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes, definetaly nice, I'm glad there are people here to talk to" Joliette turned hearing the voice "Hello Ambrose" she said with a small nod and a wave as she took in his mis-matched attire with an inward chuckle

Ambrose gave a bashful wince as Joliette eyed his clothes. "Er... I'm sorry about this... It's... well... laundry day I suppose. I shouldn't have let it get this bad, but I've kind of been preoccupied with other things." He said, gesturing to his nice, dress shirt along with the bottom half of his musketeer costume. "Definately Shouldn't have let it get this bad..." He eyed her Gi. "Laundry day for you as well, I presume?"

He gave a wave to Hargun. "Hey, Hargun. I'm sorry - I hope I'm not interrupting anything! Don't let me keep you if you need to be somewhere." He paused. "And thanks again... for yesterday. I really appreaciate it." He smiled as he walked to an unused washer, and began sorting through his dirty laundry for the darks.

"Oh... and Joliettte..." He winced. "I'm sorry... about what you saw yesterday in the cafeteria... we normally aren't that.... argumentative... really. I guess things have just been getting to some of us recently..."

Hargun laughed. "Yea.. sounded like serious anger managment." she said and patted Joliette on the shoulder.

"I wash my clothes everyonce in a while.. usually while everyone else is asleep. I just heard Joliette today practicing her martial arts of sorts and came in to see and talk." she laughed again. "No problem, Ambrose. I was thankful to get it off my head."

"No, you didn't, reality hitting me and I was screaming as I tore up the fake script sabin gave me when I first got here into little shreds.. was kinda just a release of anger towards him more then anything" she was quiet for a time watching him load the machines "Yes, mom and dad insisted I learn it when I was younger, for self defense, dad always said he'd be beating hte guys away with a bat... ironic thing is, I never have had a date, been too busy with my studies" she sighed "Fencing? I've seen some of that, calls for a lot of speed and agility"

Ambrose's tail gave a bit of a wag. "Yeah..." He rubbed the back of his his head bashfully. "You might say that, Joli.. I've been training pretty hard at it, actually... i just haven't had much chance to... well... do much with it recently." He frowned. "Greer - the bird lady - has had some sabre training, but I'm an epee fencer... two different styles. But things have been rather hectic lately. And I"ve been trying to teach Amaya as well - she's been picking it up pretty well."

He looked incredulously towards her. "Never had a date? I find that hard to believe!"

Ambrose laughed with a grin to Hargun. "Seriously, I think that that's great..." he trailed off, looking at her wing-like arms, realizing that he might be getting close to a testy subject. "But I'd be happy to teach you some fencing if you'd like." He smiled.

Since her morning encounter with the new arrival on the island, Em had been having the sour luck of missing every opportunity for human... or, rather... human-like company. She'd been out on the beach, walked through the woods, and even hiked as far up the mountain as her hedgehog instincts would allow her, and no luck. Even the village seemed like a ghost town, with everyone either locked up in their duplexes, she supposed. Maybe the islanders were still reeling from the repurcussions of the Halloween Party, and to know how much power Moreau had over all them. ...The entire island had seemed to be drained of cheer, ever since that atmosphere of desparation and confusion had set in. ...And something about it made Emelyn yearn for company- any company, even of people she barely knew at all. So she headed to the only place she knew where a person would be- the laundry room.

She'd expected, however, to find only Joliette. "Oh," she said, seeing Ambrose there, and also a woman who was obviously transforming into a bat, who she'd not met. ...Were there so many on the island that she was unaware of. "What is this, a new hangout place?" She said, smiling.

Ambrose shrugged. "Well, I guess I've just been in the highschool and college scene too long." He admitted. "Seems odd to me that a perfectly nice young woman such as youself hadn't. But then again, Greer admitted to a similar background, so perhaps I shouldn't find it quite so odd." He dusted off his hands, and turned to Hargun.

"Well, I understand if you're not interested, but if you are, I'd love to teach you - heck, anyone. Amaya could use someone to learn with." He grinned. "Maybe we could even start some sort of small club or leage or something.." He looked to Joliette. "You'd be more than welcome of course. I've got two extra sets of gear, and we could probably procure more through the labs."

Ambrose spun as he heard a familiar voice, his ears pricking and his tail giving a few wags. "Emelyn! I haven't seen you in a couple of days! How have you been?" He laughed. "Well, it always works like that, you see. No one needs to do laundry for some time, and then as soon as someone needs to, everyone does." he grinned.
