Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ambose shook his head. "It... it's alright. Really. I've had worse reactions, and I've at least had some time to get... somewhat used to it myself now. It was harder when I still was newly chagned. But... I have to admit... I still somewhat feel like a stranger in my own skin now." He took several quick bites of food. "The fur covering me.... a different face in the mirror... I feel so ... out of place still. I know I'll get used to it... but in the meantime I still feel so strange... so...." He swallowed, the word was there, but he was almost scared to vocalize it. "so... inhuman. animal."

Ambrose cocked his head at he noise that Ian made, and then, with widening eyes, guessed at what had happened. The poor b*****d. At least He didn't have to deal with anything quite like that. Just... a penchant for meat.

"I... wasn't exactly being serious" Ambrose winced. "though... it is ONE way. I... ah.. .was speaking about that with Emelyn the other day - what IS the best way to tell - or not to tell others. We finally said that everyone's going to react differently. Everyone's here for different reasons, and thus there really IS no single good way that we could think of at least to tell people."

Ambrose smild to the pair as they came over. "Hi guys. YOu don't need to be strangers. Scales and fur aside - we don't bite." He winked.

Ambrose nodded to Amaya.. "You're right - I do need to do it alone. And I will. I promise you. You can kick my a** if you see me next time and I havent' spoken with her. Speaking of - we need to get back to your fencing lessons. Hope you've been practicing." He winked and clapped her on the shouler.

Ambroe glanced down at his wristwatch as he finished the last bite of food. "Yeep... Angelina's probably waiting for me. I need to go bring her breakfast, she's probably waiting." He stood up and smiled to the group.

"I'm sorry, I hate to eat and run, but I'm sure I'll see you all about!"

With a wave, he bussed his tray, piled an assortment of food onto another, and carried it out.

Chubbs blinked as Ambrose left just as he arrived, sure he was busy with things but Chubbs wouldn't have minded the company. Then no sooner had he sat down then the deer guy dashed off out the door. Chubbs watched them go and sighed a bit, looking at his half eaten meal.

He looked up at Amaya, half expecting her to go now, maybe for the deer's sake. Chubbs hated being new, there was so much he didn't under stand or know and people he had to keep meeting. He just lowered his hat brim and leaned on the table with one arm, stabbed a potato with a fork and nibbled it.

"Not as of late, sadly. But I'll get back to it soon, I promise... and I'll remember that whole 'permition to kick your butt' thing." Amaya gave a cheesy grin to Ambrose and waved as he left. "See ya Ambrose!"

Though upon watching Ian scramble out as well, her smile quickly faded. "Take care, Ian!" She frowned as she watched him go. Poor guy. With a sigh, she returned her attention to the two... now feeling very... naked? No, that wasn't the word... inhuman as Ambrose had called it. Like she didn't fit in with the two others sitting before her. An alien surrounded by humans.

Noting from Chubbs' reaction, she assumed what he was feeling. She flicked her tongue out to taste his emotions, now her senses even more pronounced. Amaya picked up a large range of feelings, her eyes widdening. Wow.

"Sorry about that, but Ambrose has a girl back at his duplex to care for and Ian just... went through the change a few hours ago. He's probably still a little tired and stuff." She smiled at the two, pushing around her salad.

"Oh y'know... good, considering. How about you two?"

"Good, Theres another new person on teh island... I didn't have hte heart to tell her, least not alone.. She got defensive when I asked what brought her here... she thinks this is a camp for persons with mental disabilities" she sighed pushing away her plate after a couple more bites, she was full

She looked at Chubbs "I hope you are ok, you didn't have to carry the sink alone..." she said softly

Chubbs blushed like crazy when Amaya said how cute it was that she came to drag him off. It was cute, Colche was just all cute, just it would have been cuter if she'd came later. Chubbs hid his face for now, but continued to talk.

" Ummm well ah.. her names Chana.. from what Joliette ah told me... she lives above me... I was gonna try to umm... maybe tell her"

Chubbs rubbed the side of his cheek, he wasn't that confident he could.

" Oh the sink.. ah I umm lifted a sink.. probably the ah wrong way..I'm feeling better, it's ok"

"I doubt she'd believe you if you told her, Chubbs... normally someone who's changed at least once has to be the one to break the news. Otherwise they won't believe it if you don't have any poof. If I bump into her before someone else tells her I'll have to break it to her..." Amaya tried to smile, but it came out awkward... though she couldn't help but giggle a little at how easily Chubbs got embarassed.

"Darkroom sink? So... your making a dark room? That's pretty cool. Something to keep yourself occupied. I'd love to help if I can." An eyebrow then raised at the whole 'gormless white-haired arse' comment. She had a feeling she was talking about Sabin... wonder what had happened.

Joliette found she could't exactly watch Chubbs eat hte meat, it bothered her stomach so she simply just kept talking "I have yes, it's int eh duplex above mine, I've had no luck with anything else though, first hte git sends me a pile of clothing a could not and would not ever wear, and then he delivers my equipment clear across the village. You are welcome to come up some time Amaya" she smiled "I think we are all feeling a lil... out of place if nothing else Chubbs, dont worry about it" she smiled
