--continued from Duplex 34-- at cafeteria
Bobby mumbled under her breath, "No, those animals are not native to the area...."
She looked over at Kaveri and smiled, "There is absolutely no harm in meeting your neighbors. In fact, I think many of them would enjoy your company. I know for myself it was a pleasant surprise to have you knock on my door!"
As the turned the corner, the Town Hall loomed ahead. And with it, the cafeteria. Bobby walked the last few strides with an unusual gusto. She was fairly hungry and needed to restock! Opening the big doors, Bobby stood aside to allow Kaveri to enter, "By all means...." She winked, and then lead the way to the buffet.

...What was that? Kaveri didn't catch what Bobby had muttered about the animals. But she doesn't really mind, and continues to follow her.
"I want to get to know people around here, y'know? See how cool everyone is, see what they're like." She offers a friendly smile, twirling a finger around a stray black dred, "that's awesome, I'm really glad Sabin pointed me your way. You're really nice."
She grins, and eagerly follows Bobby to the buffet. "Oh, man! Look at all of this stuff!"

Bobby smiled, "Well thank you. I think you're really nice too.... I may have to hunt down this Sabin and thank him myself." Of course, her version was probably different and included a few nice, 'if looks could kill' glares for stabbing someone like Kaveri with one of the injections.
"Everyone I've met are nice as well. I hear there are a few, not so nice people, though." She couldn't help but think of what Emelyn had told her the other day about being attacked.
"Dig in, compliments of the doctor....!" Bobby walked to the buffet. She tried to best to make the quickest combinations. By the time she was done she had six entrees and two desserts... with miscellaneous fruits.

"I look forward to going around the commune and meeting everyone," she nods, then sidles up to the buffet and picks up a tray. She deliberately looks over the entrees, picking up what appears to be a tofu sandwich and some veggie spring rolls.
While parts of the selection here is rather unusual -- raw meat?! -- there seems to be something for everyone. Kavvi grabs a few fruits and a packet of juice, but passes on the dessert. The presence of the meat makes the vegan wrinkle her nose with disgust, but the fact the buffet serves tofu makes up for that awful fact. She can only hope the animal was killed humanely.
"Man, this stuff is pretty nice," Kaveri says in regards to the food she's put on her tray, "but honestly? I can't wait until I'm able to produce my own food and prepare it myself. I brought over some vegetable seeds with me so I can start a garden. Would you be interested in helping me with that later?"

Bobby smiled, her first entree devoured by the time Kaveri sat down. She smiled, her face suspiciously clean. "I qould love to! I used to have a garden at home, but it wasn't the best. New York City isn't always the best place to try to grow your own vegetables. I am shocked you got them passed customs...."
She picked up and apple and ate that too; core, stem, and all. Starting on her next dish, Bobby looked up at the other woman, "Where were you from, if you don't mind me asking?"
Bobby seemed to be opening up a little more now that food was involved.

"Oh, you're from New York? I've been there once," Kaveri says as she sits down, picking up a spring roll and nibbling on it. While the fact that Bobby can eat an entire apple does unnerve Kavvi a bit, she doesn't show any outward reactions. It might just be who Bobby is! People have different eating habits, who's she to say what's right?
"I'm from Oly. Better known on the map as Olympia. It's a city in Washington," she says, looking rather happy as she speaks of her hometown, "the capitol of the state. But it's really peaceful around there, you know? There are a lot of community-orientated things there, like a community theatre and stuff."

Bobby smiled, "That must have been nice. New York was very fast-paced. While I didn't feel it was the right place to raise our kids, both me and Trevor were in love with the city and couldn't imagine living anywhere else." As much of an after-thought, the woman sighed. She really had loved the city, even with all it's corruptness... but she was stuck here, turning into a real pig this time.
"Did you have a family back at home?" While she thought Kaveri looked old enough to have broken any ties with her parents, one could never be too sure these days.

"That was kinda like me and Oly," Kaveri smiles dreamily, "I probably would have stayed there if I weren't offered the chance to live here. But everything is so nice here - it's a beautiful island, and I don't have to worry about anything here but the bugs."
"Oh, family? My mom and dad still live in Oly, although they've been doing lots of traveling lately. Hopping trains and hitchhiking to see the country, you know? They really love stuff like that," the woman grins, finishing her spring roll and moving on to the sandwich.
"But man," she continues, "it is really nice for me to finally have a home for once."

Bobby wasn't sure if she could stand the pretense anymore. She leaned back, setting down her fork. A frown was written over her whole face. "Well, you'll be here for awhile......" Sighing, the woman lost her appetite. Kaveri had parents and at least a lover at home.... she deserved to know she would never see them again.
"I don't know what they told you... but, this Island is a prison.... lavish, yes, but still a prison." Poking at her food with a long, flat nail, Bobby looked up at Kaveri, "When I listed the animals, I wasn't entirely truthful.... every one of them are humans.... turning into animals. The shot you received when you arrived starts the process."
She could hardly look Kaveri in the face, but she eventually lifted her eyes. "I'm sorry..."

"Of course I'll be here a while," Kaveri says, albeit a little confused about why Bobby is frowning, "I was invited to live here, since this is a commune and all -- and I don't intend to go back to America any time soon, not at all."
"A prison?" Kaveri repeats, but quiets down to listen. When Bobby reveals the horrible secret of the Island, Kaveri honestly can't think of any other way to react but with laughter - people turning into animals? That's impossible! Kavvi is starting to get the impression that her newfound friend is an avid fan of science fiction. "You've got a really active imagination, you know that? That's really cool! We should write a story together."

Bobby mumbled something about thick skulls as she looked to the side. Then she stood up, the pig a little irritated at being laughed at. "You are one of the rare people that came here of their own free will.... but you are just like everyone else in that you had no idea what was in store for you."
After saying that, Bobby moved to the side, "I am not very far along in the process... so I am not a very good model." The idea of her as a super model almost made her snort... but she was trying to prove a point here!
Liftinf her shirts, the woman showed off the extra siz nipples. Holding them up with one hand, she gave Kaveri a side view, her large butt hanging over with a small tail extending from her spine, "Does this look normal? You cannot even get surgery to get these things to look so real."
In her mood, her little tail wagged a little as Bobby was showing it off. She looked down at just the right time. Her eyes widened in a confused expression, "Humrph, it's never done that before...." The pig was easily distracted.

...well.
THAT gets Kaveri to shut her mouth well enough.
"Come on," she says, her voice suddenly barely audible. "It can't be that bad, can it?"
Well, at least not until Bobby gives her a little 'show.' She stares with wide eyes, trying hard not to drop her jaw. She knew there was something 'off' about the lady, but... six nipples? The tail?
"No... no," Kaveri shook her head, raising her voice and squeezing her eyes shut, "this is just from the shot ******** with my head. This can't be real..! Cut it out! Urrgh... maybe I should have just slept that thing off... I refuse to believe that any of this is real!"
She buries her face in her hands - she wanted to see no more. "I just... I should just... I don't know. If this is a joke, I want you to stop it now because it's not funny anymore."

Bobby put her shirt down and looked sadly at Kaveri, "Oh, I wish it was just a joke, because then I could go back to my kids, my husband, my family. I pray every day that I'll wake up in the morning to see my husband sleeping next to me... even to hear the gunshots echoing in the alleys would be a blessing."
She felt there was nothing else to do. The woman felt the day couldn't get any worse. Packing up the rest of the food, Bobby rested a hand on Kaveri's shoulder. "I'm sorry dear, I truly wish it wasn't me that had to tell you. We all have that person that exposes the truth... and you never forget them."
With one last sigh, Bobby flung the sack over her shoulder and walked to the door. She paused and looked back, halfway out, "Take care, Kaveri. I do hope you invite me to help with you garden. To get back to your duplex, just take the turn and head down. I'd take you around more... but I think you may want some time to yourself."
