Joliette looked about the room to locate Colche's brush and spotted it, she got up and fetched it "You have pretty hair Colche" she said with a soft smile, she often wished her own hair was straight but such was not the case. She waited for the girl to finish getting out before sitting down and starting at the very bottom with the brush carefully starting to work the knots out, using her claws to help untangle when she needed to

Colche sat perfectly still while Joliette brushed her hair after a time she even started to puurr softly. the feel of the brush on her head felt like she was being petted. She quite liked to be petted. Her blue eyed gaze lifted up to look at joliette and she smiled softly "Thank" she said simply she was still a little elemetry witht he whole thankyou thing but after a moment of what could possibly be classed as deep thinking she finished the sentence "you" she smiled lightly, happy her hair was being sorted out she liked it when it was all shiney and clean it was one of the things that Aubrey had first taught ehr to do, to wash her hair, that long raven black hair.

"You are welcome Colche" Joliette looked up from the girls hair when she looked back. her tongue flicked as she continued and eventually had all the crud out of her hair in a small pile off to the side and worked on the last knot she found

Colche's blue eyed gaze rested upon all the things she had aquired over the 'Christmas' period.The holiday was still a little vague in her mind, still she was happy about the tidings it braught and it seemed to have braught people back in to her life too. Her puurr continued as the last knot was removed from that beautiful hair and she turned ehr gaze upon Joliette "Bath Joliette?" she looked up, perfectly innocently, she could bathe herself but she never got as clean as when somone else did it. She smiled remembering that first time Aubrey had bathed her the first night of her freedom, the first night when the light had become a good thing instead of a scary thing. She was glad to be back in her duplex, her puurr grew louder just to indicate this though all the thoughts were in her head and she remained silent she felt an immence feeling of well being.

It took a moment before Joliette realized that Colche wanted help to bathe... After a moment Joliette nodded "Okay, I can help you, I just have to be careful is all" she said getting up and putting the brush back on Colche's dresser

Colche smiled and stood up stalking in to the bathroom. She stalked alot now, it was just a way of walking now she mostly walked upon her tip does. She pottered up to the bath and put the plug in before turning the taps on and emptying a whole lot of bubble bath in to the tub. She liked bubbles. Giggling a little she sat down on the bath mat and waited with her arms crossed for the bath to fill up so she could get in. Strangely she still loved the water though the Cheetah side of her wasn't too impressed. She loved to bathe and paddle in the sea, they were fun things to do.

Joliette followed after Colche and watched her prepare, after a few moments she looked and found a nice thick cloth so she didn't have to worry about her claws toooo much. She shuffled back to the side of hte tub waiting patiently for Colche to get in

Colche smiled the bath finally full she turns the taps off and steps in, slowly at first because the water was hot, but eventually she sat, her jet black hair floating on the top of the bubbly water. She looked up to Joliette with a smile and a gentle puurr.

Joliette smiled down at her and then sat down on her knees, which wasn't entirely comfortable but such was her life now. She dipped her hand and the cloth into the water and then brought it to Colche's shoulder running the cloth along her arm and then back humming softly as she did

Colche stayed silent through the whole cleaning process. She finally got out and wrapped herself in a towel drying off her soft sandy coloured fur. She hadn't realised how furry she was until now, drying it off was quite hard it held on to water much better than skin did. Still she shrugged it off and yawned. "Nap time Joliette" she stated shuffling off towards ehr tent and crawling in, she was mostly dry now, though her hair would be damp for hours. She felt very tired and her eyes flittered shut almost instantly "sleepy" she whispered with a yawn slowly dozing off.

Joliette trudged out after Colche and after drying her hands "Sweet dreams Colche" she said softly as she watched the girl into her tent. She waited a moment then quietly slipped out of her duplex leaving the door exactly as she first had found it.

Aubrey rushed down towards Colche's duplex, a big basket of homemade cookies all wrapped up in green and red ribbons for her. She was beaming, basically skipping around that day, excited about her upcoming trip.
She knocked on the door to Colche's apartment, "Colche, its Aubrey!"Colche licked her lips as she awoke, blinking a few times she wondered why it was dark, until she realised she was inside ehr tent. With a yawn and a stretch she got to her knees and peered out from between the flaps blinking in the bright light of the duplex, it was a sunny day and the light hurt her eyes after napping in the tent most of the day "Aubrey?" she mumbled a bit groggy with sleep.Hearing her voice, Aubrey used the key pad to let herself in. She smiled at the face peering at her from inside the tent. "Hello there, Colche!" she said happily, taking a seat on the bed. "Can you come here? I want to talk to you for a moment."Colche blinked once again, the light in the room was making her a little blind but she sat, rubbing ehr eyes and giving a big groggy yawn before she crawled from her tent and sat at Aubreys feet. She was still a little sleepy but she rubbed her cheek against Aubrey's knees and puurred quietly, her fluffy ears perking to listen.Aubrey opened the basket and handed a cookie towards her. They were chewy chocolate chip. "I made these for you," she said. "I hope you like sweets." She reached down and rubbed at the girl's head at the base of her ears, then smoothed dowm her long hair. "I'm going on a trip for a while. I just wanted to tell you so you didn't worry."Colche took the cookie and nobbled at it. She hadn't seen Aubrey for such a long time. She didn't know how long, she had been in the jungle for a while and before that? She couldn't remember. "trip?" she questioned though a soft puurr resonated from deep in her chest as Aubrey ruffled her round fluffy ears."Yes, uhm, a vacation? I'll be leaving the island for a little while with the doctor. I'll be away for a while."Colche listened to the words, she was trying to understand them, her brow creased "away?" she blinked a few times "School?" she tilted her head softly remembering one of her stories, Christopher robbin had gone away to school and pooh bear ahd tried to find him but he came back at the end of the day. Biting her tonguge for a moment going in to one of those deep thinks she spoke again "come back? Cristopher..robin..back..." she paused her brow creasing again "After..uhmm...school" she smiled, feeling proud of herself "Aubrey, back, after school?"It took Aubrey to catch the reference, then she remembered Christopher Robin was the boy from the Pooh series. "It might be longer than that," she said honestly. "School is only for a day, I will be gone a lot longer than one day. But I will be coming back."Colche's brow creased again "long day" she stated with a slight pout. She nibbled her cookie for a long moment and was silent except for her gentle kitty puurr "Colche go school too?" she tilted ehr head looking up at the older woman her big blue eyes filled with maybe a touch of hope.Aubrey bit her lip. "I'm sorry, but this trip if just for me and Doctor Moreau"Colche pouted but went back to nibbling her cookie. She sighs softly "Colche Lone lots now Aubrey" it was one of those longer more sence making questions. She didn't make them very often and having spent a good two weeks int he jungle she hadn't sdpoken an awful lot. She thought maybe, maybe this christmas thing she heard so much about from others, well she thought maybe it was making people come back again. She missed the family she had made when she joined this island they just weren't around any more, she didn't really understand why."Thats because Colche went and ran away where no one could find you," she said with a frown. She absentmindedly started to play with some of the long strands of her black hair. "You shouldn't run away like that, you should go knock on people's doors and ask to play."Colche frowned. Was Aubrey mad at her? Her ears twitched flat and her puuring came to an abrupt stop with a pout and a slight cringe. Her tiny stub of a tail twitched a little angrily. She didn't understand at all, Aubrey had come back and now she was going again? "fun school Aubrey" she whispered dropping the remnants of the chewy cookie on the floor and crawling off back towards her tent. She could hide in there with her bunny, noone could find her in there. The cheetah liked it in the tent.Aubrey was surprised at her sudden change of attitude. She sighed and crawled over towards the tend, sitting outside the door. "Don't be mad at me, Colche. I'm sorry I can't take you with me. You'll understand one day when you fall in love."Colche's brow creased and she sniffled softly peeping out of the tent. She didn't understand love, she only knew what she read in her story books "Snow white love prince charming" she pouted a bit her brow creasing "what love Aubrey?" she pouted big crocodile tears rolling down her cheeks "noone love Colche, not princess, christopher robin love pooh bear, colche not pooh bear" her ears flattened and she wiped the tears with the back of her hand.Aubrey had to blink back her own tears seeing Colche cry like that. "Moreau loves Aubrey" she said, reaching up to touch her cheek. "There are different types of love. I love Moreau like the Princess loves Prince. I love Colche like Christopher Robin loves Pooh."Colche's brow furrowed, deep lines appearing on her forehead. Lifting her big blue eyes to Aubrey she shuffled forwards and hugged the woman tightly. Her puurr echoed for a moment and she wiped her tears on Aubreys shirt "Aubrey princess. Colche want be princess" she sniffled a little, perhaps she had been bottling this up for a while waiting to see her mother figure to try and make sence of her own emotions "no prince charming, Colche not princess"Aubrey retreived the cookie and handed it back to Colche after brushing off any fuzz. "Every girl will be a princess one day. Sometimes it justs them a very very long time to find the right prince," she explained. "Aubrey was an old lady before I found mine."Colche looked at Aubrey, the woman didn't look old to her, but then she was probably a very bad judge of age she didn't even know how old she was herself. She wished she had the words to tell Aubrey about chubbs. She had a crush, she just didn't entirely understand what a crush was. Of course finding Joliette there had upset her. Colche took a deep breath and curled tightly in to Aubreys lap, she was becoming a very large kitty as she changed. her big blue eyes closed gently "Colche no princess Aubrey, lone ever after" Aubrey held her in her arms. "You are a very beautiful princess, Colche. Do you know the story of Cinderella?"
Colche shook her head a little, she knew sleeping beauty and snow white, they were princess stories and she wasn't like either of them. "Well," she started, "Cinderella was born a dirty little girl that her stepmother and stepsisters treated very badly. They made her do lots and lots of horrible work, all the time... they never let her do anything she watned to do."Colche frowned a little, "bad work" she stated a shiver rolling down her spine as she trued to bury herself deeper in to aubreys lap while listening to the story, she was starting to feel sleepy. it was like a bed time story."Yes, very bad work," Aubrey hoped she would maube relate better to this story then. "But then one day a fairy godmother took Cinderella away from all the bad work. She gave her a pretty dress and sent her off to a ball, which is like a big party. At the party she found the prince and they fell in love."fairy god mother?" her brow creased, there were fairy godmothers in sleeping beauty, she smiled and nodded "colche like sin..duh..rella?" she questioned ehr voice sounding sort of distant now she was starting to doze off, but she wanetd to know how the story ended.Aubrey stroked her hair and continued with the story. "You see, eventually Cinderlla and the prince fell in love and got married, which means Cinderella became a real princess. Even though she was just a little ash-girl growing up." She looked Colche with motherly adoration. "Someday someone will come here that will think you are a princess."Colche's ears flattened as the story ended and her quiet, whisper of a voice echoed throught he silent duplex "promise?" her eyes, those perfect, deep blue orbs peered from between her dark lashes up at her mother figure, the only mother she had eveer known."I promise," she said, scritching her ears again. "I can't promise when, but you're a very beautiful girl. And smart, you're learning very fast with your books. You make me proud, Colche."Colche smiled softly. "Proud" she whispered, her eyes closing for a long moment she was becoming tired. her ears flattened tightly against her head as her breathing became slower "Aubrey come back soon?" she puurred now as she asked hte question her mind slowly drifting to the land of fancy her books sent her to.Aubrey found herself blinking back tears, for the first time since Moreau told her that they would be going away did she fund herself actually hesitant to leave. "Soon," she said, pulling her into a big hug. "I'll miss you, okay! I'll bring you back presents!"Colche smiled softly sighing lightly in her dreams "Colche lots of presents, santa" she puurred her voice fading away as she yawned "words, want words" she finally cuddled deeply in to Aubreys lap, fitting alot of her slender frame comfortably in the older womans lap as she dozed off. Happy in the reassurances of her 'mother'.Aubrey held her for several minutes before trying to get her onto the bed without waking her. She lifted her gently and placed her on the unmade bed and pulled the covered up over her, leaning down and kissing her in the forehead. Colche made her biological clock tick in overtime, and found her tummy tickle at her upcoming departure. Moreau was actually coming to meet the parents, and then offer to take her anywhere in the world. Rome, Paris... where to start?
She secretely indulged in the fantasy of Moreau proposing under the Efil tower as she headed towards the door, turning back to give one last look to Colche.
"I'll bring you back lots of words," she whispered as she turned on the lights, heading back her packed up Jeep and wait for Moreau at the helipad.

Island of Moreau Vice Captain

Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2006 8:36 pm
That night, at 3am on the dot, there is a LOUD sound of an explosion, originating from the sky above the Island. Looking out, or anyoune outside would look up to see a brief fireball in the sky. Following that, any power that is on begins to flicker, going through a few brownouts before finally shutting down altogether. If you happen to be awake at that point - you would notice all the lights around you, any electronic equipment that wasn't battery operated flicker and die. However, within a few seconds of the final powersurge and failure, you find yourself being pulled into a forced unconsciousness.
When you wake up, it is midafternoon the following day, though it would vary within a few hours depending on the individual. You are NOT in your duplex. . You wake up to find yourself in the jungle near the helipad. As you come out of it you see pieces of a familar helicopter, it looks completely burned out in the inside and unusable. If you dig through it, you find two scorched bodies, one man and one woman. They are too burned to be much besides bones.
All of the buildings on the island are in 'shutdown' mode. This means that everything is locked tight. If you attempt to force your way into any of the buildings, your own duplex and the Town Hall included, then you will find that from the outside at the very least, they are impenetrable. If any window was broken - it is now fixed. All of the lights are off - in every building. Even the electric fence surrounding the main laboratory is turned off - though still closed. Attempts to break into the main complex will be met with equal lack of luck as breaking into a duplex or the town hall.
The only items you have on you are the items that you would have been wearing when you were asleep/fell unconscious: including clothing and perhaps a few battery-powered electronics IF You would have been wearing them. That's it. Everything else is where you left it - if it was in your duplex, it still is and you can't get to it.
There is no sign of what happened to the staff. The labs are quiet from the outside.
Welcome to the Wild.

Colche padded up to her duplex quietly. Her huge doe blue eyes fell upon the little, if rather fat rabbit which sat on her door step. The rabbit never left her duplex so it confused her as to why he was outside. Bending down she scooped up the bunny and ruffled it's ears "silly bunny" she stated walking to her door and pushing. A frown creased her brow as she did so. The door didn't open. She never locked it, she didn't understand the mechinism. She pushed again, why couldn't she get in? A pout came to her then and she gave a unhappy little sniffle looking around for somone, anyone to help her with the door. Maybe someone had locked it. She put her hand to her chest, Aubrey had tied the key to her duplex there once but it seemed to be gone now. She didn't remember taking it off but she had never used it. "hnn" she mumbled, frowning and thinking it best to go and find somone to help her. Holding her bunny tightly against her chest she started off in a random direction. She hoped to find somone familiar, amaya, ambrose, emelyn, greer, Pyroth maybe, somone she knew who could let her in to her duplex, she was just getting used to living at home again. She, as usual, didn't understand what was going on, perhaps it was best that she remained oblivious to these changes. As long as it wasn't Aubrey in the big black bird she was happy. Her duplex could be sorted out, she had no doubt of that, she just had to find somone to help.
