Kim... visibely wasn't up for going to go axe the trails herself, at the slight face she made when he mentionned it.
It faded quickly, however, with the arival of the other girl. Visibely they knew each other... She smilled, but otherwise remained sillent.

Jamal didn't even have to turn around to know who was ripping on him, but he did anyway. A mock-wounded look spread over his features. "Geez Shorty, you jus' walkin' in n' yous already startin' on me," he drawled in exasperation, which also was just to add to the effect of his expression. A hand reached out to grab the ball, palming it with little difficulty since his hands were pretty large, and returned the ball safely into his lap.
"I take it you two ain't met b'fo," he said, passing a look to Kim and then to Awen, noting each had a sort of curious look on their faces.

She grinned even more at his wounded stance over everything. She pat his shoulder and slung out the chair next to him sitting down. "You know I'm only teasing you big lug..."
She turned her attention then to the girl and held her hand out across the table. "The name's Awen Zyn, pleasure to meet you." Though she smiled she started wondering. She gave Jamal a glance from the corner of her eye wondering if he had told her anything about hte island yet, not thinking the gaze could be misinterpreted at all.

"Kim, nice to meet you..." She blinked a bit. "Your name's familiar, tho... Ah, there it is ! I think I live upstairs of your duplex..." The whole thing was still confusing her a little bit.
And well... Awen's glance made her a little nervous, but she didn't say anything about it.

"When ain't you teasin' me," he said, holding his wounded expression just long enough to cover that statement, then he gave a characteristic Jamal smirk and settled back in his chair, watching the two girls. He caught Awen's out-of-the-corner look and his lip twitched before he mouthed a very discrete "no" and shook his head ever so slightly in hopes it wouldn't be noticed.
"Kim says she be inta that gamin' stuff like you be, Awen," he said, trying to help them find some common ground and maybe have a little bit of conversation. "Bet you two could both beat the s**t outta me in a game instead of jus' you, Awen."

She took Jamal's 'no' into account but since he topic changed this wasn't the time, besides a broad grin broke out onto her face at the mention of another gamer. "Oh really?"
She laughed a little bit and gestured to Jamal. "This guy said that Resident Evil 4 was 'his game'" She glanced back and giggled. "I owned him so easily when it got to my turn. He really is hopeless. I'm glad to meet some actual challenge on the island though!" Even..if admittingly she hadn't really challenged many people on the island.

"Well im not exactly... super good or anything..." Apparently, the change of topic was enough to get her to forget all about the sillent communication... expecially because of the subject involved.
"Im more into rpgs and things like that..." She glanced at the time on her clap-on watch, and sighed a bit.
"Not like im bored, but I have alot of things to set up still..." The little twinkle in her eye told them it was probabely things Awen would ratter enjoy. "So ill catch you both later, okay ?"
After waiting for their answers, she headed back torward her duplex.
((Sleep soon))

"Fffffft," said Jamal in his most articulate manner, trying to gain a noble sort of visage in hopes of saving face. "I let you win." Of course, that came out sounding kind of halted and almost question-like.
As Kim got up, he watched her, feeling almost sympathetic that she was probably clueless. Well...knowing Awen, Kim'd know soon enough. Or if she happened to run into the most-changed islanders. "A'ight, well, see ya 'round then."

Awen waved a little bit. "See you around Kim. Hope to play you sometime." She grinned and leaned back on her chair.
Thinking better she scooter her chair closer to Jamal and leaned against his shoulder. "Let me win...ppfft." She giggled and glanced up at him. "You're about as good at video games as I am at speaking ghetto.... decent, but not great." Taking a deep breath she nuzzled his shoulder.
How many more people was the Doctor going to bring to the island...? When will enough...be enough? She couldn't break it to her then, bad subject change really. She'll probably have to talk to her later, after all they were neighbours.

"...okay so yous got me there," he admitted grudgingly, wrapping an arm lazily about her middle. "But hows about yous play some ball 'gainst me...then dat be a diff'rent story. Even though' I be callin' ya Shorty fo' a reason....you ain't gonna have such good luck tryin' ta steal da ball." Jamal snickered affectionately but grew more somber as Kim disappeared completely.
"So...she be pretty new from what I found out. Didn't ask none 'bout why I was herr but I figure she ain't knowin' the real deal."

" How the heck are you supposed to find anything here?"
Chubbs was walking around in the village. rugged up in his usual sweater and jeans, looking around the building. He decided to set up his punching bag, which he was carrying. It was heavy, but he didnt want to run back and forth trying to get the right gear for the job. So hoisted on his shoulder the bag sat.
Chubbs frowned, he'd been walking all over the place. He really needed a map of some kind. The smells from the cafeteria were wafting over his nose. He always had a good smell for food. Looking over at the building, he saw people inside. One was the guy from the day before, he was sure of it. God he fell flat on his face in front of him, Chubbs couldn't help but grow red.
He took the chance to see if either of them knew where the tools were, and walking up to the door, he pulled it open slightly and stuck his head in.

Awen nodded slowly at the change in tone, he was saying really what she was thinking. "So it seems. She's too happy really to know... unless the Doc is actually telling people now adays?"
Awen had a sudden thought, so wrapped up in the thought she didn't see the man pop his head in the door. "Jamal, don't you think someone's going to get wise to this sooner or later?" She said rather hopefully. "I mean... my friends know I'm gone to an island for therapy. They fully expect me back one day, and others I'm sure have people thye left behind that knew something of where they were going." She smiled brightly. "Maybe there's still a chance they'll find us and stop this huh?"
She spoke rather loudly with excitement at the idea of being saved, not thinking anyone would over hear...except maybe the kitchen staff but they already knew anyway so it didn't matter. She had no idea anyone else might have heard...

"I ain't countin' on him tellin' anybody anythin'," Jamal said curtly, a flit of displeasure crossing his broad features, lip curled in a similar manner like when he was mouthing 'no'. "I figger he ain't gonna tell peeps cause it prolly betta and more safe fo' him. Da man be a ********' coward. I ain't seen his face once yet. Prolly cause he knows what I done and I ain't afraid to beat his a**." Jamal didn't know that Moreau had been assaulted already once and what the outcome was, but he probably would still stick with his words.
At the mention of people perhaps searching the small band of islanders out, he tried not to be too optimistic. "I figger too dat most of us herr weren't plannin' on stayin' long...so maybe all them searchers get togetha one day and find us. Maybe." He absently brushed her arm with a finger before the sound of the door opening caught his attention.

Chubbs tried to look like he was not looking at the two in the cafeteria, but what else was there to look at? food? Chubbs shifted the bag on his shoulder. He was glad that he caught their attention so he didnt have to interupt too much.
The food was really getting to him though, something smelled damn good and his tummy growled audibly. Chubbs blinked and grew bright red, and quickly decided to ask what he was here for.
" Umm.. er.. would, y-you happen, to know where there's umm... like a tool shed?"
