Emerwyn recoiled when she emerged from her duplex, not used to direct sunlight.
Her animal instincts couldn't bear to be shut indoors for so long, but the human in her, all of those bothersome emotions that had turned her so reclusive, kept her in.
Finally, she could bear it no more. Squinting in the sunlight, she saw a person up ahead. A stranger, by the looks of it. A stranger who was struggling with a heavy load. Emerwyn figured she should go and help, for however she could.
If this person was a newcomer, she hoped she wouldn't frighten her by her appearance. And if she had already seen other affected inhabitants, Emerwyn still hoped she wouldn't frighten her. Emerwyn was not looking her best these days.
"Hello there!" she croaked. Her voice was still getting used to speaking. "Need a hand?"

Joliette stopped and looked around for hte voice "Hello, yes sure, I think I got more then I could carry" she said her own thick British accent just as obvious as the one she was getting from the girl with the frog in her throat. She didn't speak too soon in her words as a couple boards proceeded to slip off hte top of her pile "Woahhh"

Emerwyn dashed forward to catch the falling boards. However, barely being used to supporting her own weight, it proved more than difficult. After securing two in her grip, she failed to stop a third from falling to the ground. She was on her knees with the two boards in her lap, picking up the third one. It was a feat to swoop down to catch them, seeing as this young woman was easily more than a foot shorter than Emerwyn.
She laughed softly as she got to her feet. "Let me take these for you. Where are you off to?"
She was inwardly very excited to hear quite plainly that this girl was from her homeland.

"Heading for Duplex 28 right above mine, I'm boarding up the windows" she said sounding grateful for the help, "I'm Joliette" she said introducing herself as she shifted the pile re-balancing it in her arms. and smiling in her building-supply-rescuer's direction
((pronounced Jooleeai))

"Emerwyn."
She walked along with Joliette, trying to keep pace. Even the smallest loads were cumbersome to her.
"Boarding up the windows? What for?"

"Nice to meet you" she said with a smile. Joliette didn't walk fast, she wanted to make sure she didn't drop anything "I'm turning it into a darkroom" she said the edge of enthusiasm creeping into her voice. She was so very looking forward to doing something productive

"A darkroom? You're a photographer, then." She didn't know the first thing about the process of traditional photography, but she did know what a darkroom was.

"Yep, was a photo journalist before I got stuck here, came to this area looking for a scoop... found an island and got decieved instead" she sighed

"I'm sorry. That- that man has deceived many people. So, I take it you've already learned the nature of this hell-on-earth?" After all, Joliette hadn't reacted harshly to Emerwyn's blackened fingers, and large, furry ears.

"Yes I have Amaya told me, I didn't even know I had been injected until Amaya told me to look" she sighed and glanced over at her. "It is certainly not how I want to spend the rest of my life" she said hesitant to ask what Emerwyn was becoming unsure if that was a sensitive subject

"You're not alone, trust me." She sighed heavily. "There's a lot that was taken from us. And it's not fair. No one deserves this."
She started to regain her composure. "When did you arrive?"

"A few days ago, saw the isle from a distance out in my yacht with my lens, saw Vasile on the beach too, came closer..." she sighed "And wound up on the isle by falling for Doctor Duvert's ploy of an exclusive of an upcoming new movie secretly being shot here"

It was disgusting. Every time she heard a story of their treachery, her blood boiled.
How many more would be caught in this trap?
"You were alone on your yacht? That is to say, no one could have returned home and reported you disapearance?" Emerwyn's own ship had crashed; she was the only survivor. She was always looking for a thread of hope that this menace would be caught.
In the meantime, she kept it in the back of her head to ask who Dr. Duvert was. She had never met any other doctors on the Island other than Moreau himself.

She nodded "Yes I work better alone, I was about three days out of cell range when I found this isle, my editor knew I went looking for a scoop, but not exactly where to the button, He thought I was crazy, following rumors about the bermuda triangle and Vaslie DiRossi's disappearance in it, how I would love to throw that doubt in his face right about now" she sighed "Instead I'm stuck here turning into whatever they injected me with. an injection I did not take by choise I might add, didn't even know I had it" she blushed slightly "I'm sorry I shouldn't be wittering on"
