Joliette walked out onto the sand, her heavy bare feet sinking a little in the warm sand, she wore a pair of shorts and a short sleeved top that had been cut so the shirt was only long enough to cover herself but let the nice warmth of the sun touch her skin. She looked over the ocean and then around her.. Oh boy.. just joy... Someone ELSE new...
She trudges up behind the sitting girl who's hair was much like her own in color.. auburn "It's a lovely view to be stuck with isn't it" she mused

Lily, who'd been unable to find any suitable vacation wear in her stuff, is wearing a clean shirt and pair of pants. Not that she'd intended to go right to the beach anyway. She pulls gently at one of her sleeves when she hears a voice behind her, an accented voice.
"Yes," she replies absently, caught off guard. Without the concern about what she'd see she'd felt when she met Chana the previous night, she turns her head to look at the person who spoke to her.
"Oh!" She stares for a split second, then gets to her feet- realizing what she's looking at. She smiles apologetically after she stops staring, "Um- Hello."

Joliette's eyes leave the view and return to the female "Hello" she says quietly her yellow tongue flicked out and in again bringing her the woman's scent. Her mood was sosos, she was still blah, but at least she had had a decent birthday, even if it wasn't as good as previous ones. After the tattooed woman's reaction to her, she was nearly expecting anything

Distracted momentarily by the tongue, and the scales, Lily clears her throat softly to draw her attention back to the person and remind herself not to stare.
"My name is Lily," she introduces herself, holding out a hand..

Joliette gave a small smile and took the woman's hand careful not to get her with the long sharp claws "I'm Joliette" she says, her name was very french in origin and pronunciation "Nice to meet you... I suppose if you aren't running and screaming or trying to beat the shite out of me you've already heard the 'welcome to the island' talk from someone" she nodded feeling somewhat relieved she wouldn't have to give it if this were the case

Lily smiles and glances at Joliette's hand curiously when she shakes it, "That's a pretty name, Joliette." And she nods in agreement at the 'nice to meet you' comment, realeasing the hand- this woman doesn't seem that bad of course.
But then she gives a mental jump- should she be acting more frightened or surprised? Maybe trying to be polite would be a good way to go about this.
"Um, what 'welcome to the island' talk?" She asks curiously, tilting her head. She could get this one to sound more natural, since she never really had any form of that discussion for her situation.

Joliette sighed, perhaps the woman hadn't... just great... last person she told wouldn't believe her "Welcome to the island, you're stuck here for the rest of your life... we're all being turned into animals by an insane doctor... I'm sorry" she said softly, she tried to get it over with and now waited for the reaction which she was sure wasn't going to be very good

That was fast.
And all Lily can manage is a stare. There's something about hearing someone actually say it now that confirms it. She already knew, but she could pretend it wasn't so until there was proof that she was exactly in the position she thought she was.
Well, someone with scales and claws just told her that.
She opens her mouth to say something, the closes it and takes a step back. Feeling that she prefered pretending she didn't know to trying to figure out how to act surprised about it.
"Oh?" she finally manages meekly. Maybe she could use this as a chance to satisfy her curiousity?
"Is that why you have claws?" She asks nervously, hoping that wouldn't get the reaction her more harmless questions had gotten from Chana.

"Claws, and sharp teeth and scales... amung other things" her tongue flicked out and in once more "According to my research I'm turning into a Komodo Dragon... Just something joyful for a vegan. I'd rather just escape and take my chances with the cancer we would get if we didn't complete the process" Joliette pushed the hair from her face and sat down on the sand in the sun

Lily watches Joliette's tongue flicker again. A komodo dragon, and this woman is a vegan? That.. seems even more cruel than just changing someone into an animal.
"Really?" She asks, managing a skeptical tone.
Cancer- that makes sense. She'd never thought of that as a side effect of messing with someone's DNA, but now that Joliette mentions it, it's obvious. She makes no comment on the cancer preference. She also stays standing up, looking down at Joliette..

Joliette nods "I was told thats what would happen if we didn't complete the process. Theres other people here further along then I am, I only changed for the first time a few days ago... I've been stuck here for a while now, Ambrose says Moreau had my rental yacht disassembled.. I wouldn't know I didn't see it happen" she looks up at the new girl "What brought you to the island?"

"It's believable," she says, looking out at the ocean again. Other people farther along- how far had people gotten in the months they'd been trapped?
"What are the others turning into?" She asks, decidedly sitting down in the sand once more. She hesitates when asked why she's on the island, her mind going over what she'd thought up.
"I came for a vacation," she explains, looking out at the ocean again, "Nice weather, beaches-" she shrugs, "But- if you're telling the truth, then it's permanent?"

"Uhm I've seen a wolf, I think Vasile is becoming a fox of some kind, Hargun is becoming a bat, Alaya is a lizard I think she said Iguana, David is a combonation between tazmannian devil, a bear and a wolverine I believe... Colche I think is a cheetah or a leopard, and Awen something that has to do with water.." she listed off the ones she could think of off the top of her head "I've heard of a snake too... Ambrose has been here for months and he was only supposed to be here a couple weeks I heard, and I was supposed to be here hours and I've been here more then a month, and accordinng to World Weekly News the search for me after I went missing got called off" ok now she was rambling but oh well she got herself to shut up "I'm sorry your vacation has ended up this way"

Lily nods along with the list, and looks back to Joliette. She looks something like surprised and impressed when she mentions the combination of animals that this 'David' is being turned into. She resumes a less surprised expression and follows along with the rest of the list.
That's quite a few people to trick and trap on an island.
'Ambrose,' she repeats in her mind. Someone who'd been here months- would he have been one of the first subjects? What did Joliette say he was turning into? Her mind returns to the conversation when Joliette mentions the search ending and apologizes to her.
She pauses and bites her lip, "There's no way to escape?"
The hope in her voice was completely genuine. Joliette had mentioned prefering the cancer like it would never happen and, though she doesn't notice, it's a convenient question when you don't know what to say to that apology.

Joliette shook her head "Not as far as any of us can think of, theres about well my duplex is 27 so at least that many, 28 is my darkroom so I know that one will never have a person in it, he seems to just keep bringing more though"
