Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chubbs watched the snake back, awfully closely, not leaving his eyes from her. He figured she copped some freako combo serum like he did, he'd never heard of a snake with feathers before.

Picking at his claws he looked to Joliette and checked if she was alright.She seemed okay if a little disorientated.

" Me and Amaya, found a knife, blood all over it...we went to the labs to hand it in"

Chubbs failed to mention his bloody state right at that moment.

"A knife... I'm guessing that's our murder weapon?" Cassidy leaned against the tree trunk. "I hate murder mysteries."

She glanced over at Joli. "I had one hell of a headache when I woke up. Pretty bad. At least you can get something back at the town centre, right?"

"I barely have been awake but yes... and my head is killing me" she stiffened slightly at the rub she didn't know what to make of it with the few little memory snatches she had "Food might be a good idea... before I lose control" she tried to change the topic slightly she didn't want to think of hunters, was bad enough with preditors

((I have no idea what's going on with the RP above this, even though I'm involved in it, and it may just need to be finished later, because I'm commandeering the thread. From myself. Er. Yes.))

New RP

Cassidy was sulking, and she was quite aware that she was sulking, that it was neither sensible nor healthy to be sulking, and yet she sulked.

She had found a comfortable spot in the branches of a tree, coiled and wrapped around the branches, her head resting on her feathered arms. Her stomach had dwindled quite a bit, barely more than the slightest bulge.

Her head was tilted slightly as she listened to the sounds around her. Birdsong, mostly, with the rustle of leaves underneath it. It was nice, and it was comfortable, and she should have been perfectly happy.

Stupid Vasile.

Cass leaned over the edge of the branch and peered down; her tongue flickered thoughtfully. After a brief pause, while she tried to connect scent and voice and name, she called back, "Nita? Yeah, it's me."

She waved. Company was really what she needed, too. Not solitary sulking up a tree. "You want me to come down?"

Cassidy's tongue flickered, the only sign of her startlement. That was the thing about this place, too. Just when you got used to what someone looked like, they went and sprouted fur. Or worse.

"Well," she said. "Things are... okay, I guess." No need to immediately start dumping on people, especially when she hardly knew them. It was one thing to wallow in woeful self-pitying angst, but it was quite another to do it aloud. "What about you? Other than, well, the obvious." Cass gestured vaguely to Nita's new appearance. "You look okay, though." She smiled in her faint way.

Cassidy let out a small giggle. "You do match. And really, it's a pretty good first change, as far as they go." She said this as reassuringly as she could, then continued on, a bit more sombrely, "You get used to it. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but you do get used to it."

She shifted on the branch so as to face Nita a bit better, propping her stubby former legs over the limb. Silly things got in the way. "Settling in okay?"

"Yeah, you're still you. Just fuzzy." Cass nodded enthusiastically. Nita looked almost like some sort of red raccoon, which was odd, but interesting.

Good people. Of course there were good people here. At the moment she couldn't really name anyone on the list, though. Vasile would have been, but...

Her tail tightened reflexively around a thinner bough that grew off of the branch she was sitting on; it cracked a little.

"The library is fairly decent. And helpful. I really don't even like looking at the pictures, but occassionally I have to go consult the encyclopedia on pythons." She made a thoughtful noise.
