(Private RP between Shenzi and Newt)
Shenzi had decided to go wandering again today; Miller was cooped up in his apartment, or somewhere else, since he hadn't answered her banging. So she went off by herself, in a close fitting tank top, leather jacket, bright green beanie on her head, heavy boots and warm jeans.
Wandering around the buildings had started to bore the blueberry, so she had started straying away from the paved paths, following a dirt path away from the duplexes and into the trees. Humming to herself, she started singing under her breath, letting her voice get louder to a general level; it was one song that Ed had written not too long after they started. Had nice enough lyrics, but she liked the melody more.

Newt had been taking his afternoon swim when he heard the voice through the trees, and immediatly turned to try to half hide in the water of the lake. Unfortunatly, his clothing still remained on the shore where anyone would spot the bright blue, stained janitorial jumper and undershirt. with the top of his head and bulbous froggy eyes above the water, he inched closer, scanning for anyone who might be passing by and spot him.

Shenzi continued singing to herself, walking closer to the lake now visible through the trees. Smiling to herself, she quickened her pace towards the water, but paused as she saw a pile of clothes on the bank of the lake. "Who..." She mumbled under her breath, frowning slightly as she looked up to see... See...
What is that? Shenzi thought to herself, taking another half step forward. "Uhmm, sorry to surprise you...?"

Newt gave a startled squeek, disappearing under the water for a few moments befor he resurfaced again slowly, as though checking to see if she was still there.

Shenzi was giving the person, man, thing, a weird look as she heard a loud squeak, then a small splash. She took a few more steps closer to the water, letting a friendly, open smile light her face. "I won't hurt you. Or do you just want to change?" She asked, grinning.

The human was still there and seemed intent on not leaving. Newt swallowed, and his voice was breathy and trembling when he spoke, "I... I... I ah... W-woo-woo-was j-just... er..." He had never seen her befor- and figured he would have remembered someone with such bright colored hair- she definatly wasn't Awen, who was the only other person with blue hair he could think of. Did she know about the island? Was he about to have to break the news to yet another, only to be laughed at? There was nothing he could do but try to be polite. Nerviously, he swam closer to shore, lifting his head out of the water to peer at her a bit better as he moved to crouch in the mud. "I've... ah... n-n-nuh-nuh-never seen... you around b-befor?" He managed lamely. It was a start, at least.

Shenzi couldn't help but stare as the man swam closer; man didn't seem like an appropriate word. Again, Nita's words to her and Miller came back into her head, of tricking people onto the island, animal transofrmations... She held a hand to her head, sitting down on the dirt and sand shore. "N-No, I don't think you would have..." She said softly, shaking her head before looking up again.
He had large eyes, and greenish, almost slimy, looking skin, though the water might account for that. What she could see of his hands under the water seemed to be webbed. "I'm Shenzi." She said, giving another smile despite the sickness that had been slowly growing in her mind, after meeting the tentacle man and realizing Nita spoke truly. It couldn't be possible, yet it was. And there was proof right in front of her nose; how could she deny it now?

Newt kept to a froggish crouch once he was close enough for the water to be shallow, watching her warily with his head held low self conciously, "I... I... I h-hope... um... I'm n-not... I d-don't.... er... m-make you uncomfortable... I... I know how... ah..." His eyes flickered and he lifted his webbed hands to twist them in front of his cream colored belly, his knees pressed against his shoulders.

Shenzi waved her hands hurriedly, shaking her head. "No, not at all! It's just... Weird, kinda. They-They tested on you, right...?" She asked, fearing the answer even as he twitched his long fingers.
What is he? She said animals, and she was a red panda... A frog or something... Shenzi let that thought cross through her head as she resting her chin on her knees, staring at the sand.

He hopped forward at that, splishing and splashing as he made his way to the bank to shake the water off of his long floppy froggish feet and slimy spotted back, his greasy black curls sticking to his forhead. "Ah... y-yes," He gave a sigh of releif that he didn't have to awkwardly explain at the very least.

She held her head in her hands, her feet sliding down in the sand as her hair, unbound, fell down around her shoulders. "Zatratit. Shitshitshit..." She mumbled this littany under her breath, before taking a deep breath and leaning her head back, eyes shut. After a moment, she opened her eyes again, looking at Newt with eyes full of sympathy, both for him and herself.
She gave him a somewhat shaky smile, leaning on her hands on her knees. "So I don't believe I caught your name..." Shenzi said; she never thought she'd be sitting on a shore, talking with some kind of frog man.

At her mummbled exclimation, Newt's head ducked down against his chest, his hands raising to twist as he squatted in front of his jumper, not bothering with a towel. He liked being wet, afterall. "Ah... N-n-n-nuh-newton," He managed to stutter shyly, and his cheaks would have been crimson had he still been able to blush.

She couldn't help but laugh softly at his bashful expression. "Nice to meet you, Newton." She said, smiling easily, giving the thoughts of transformation a mental shove to the back of her mind, though it was slightly difficult, what with a result right in front of her.
Turning to look at his pile of clothes, she picked up the jumped, frowning and looking at him, because she had noticed the little name tag. "You work here?" Shenzi asked, eyes going back to the logo on his tag.

Newt's eyebrows raised, his throat suddenly inflating widely for a nervious ribbit befor he reached to pull the jumper away from her, his voice dripping with embarassment, "I... I... I s-sort of used to!"

Shenzi let off a sigh; no, if he worked for the lab still, why would he be changing too? "And some final paycheck you got..." She said, giving him an apologetic smile. "Sorry about jumping to conclusions." Shenzi ducked her head quickly, crossing her legs indian style in front of her. "So how long have you been here? I mean, when did you get the shot?" She wanted to figure out when she'd change; it probably wouldn't help her state of mind, but she had to know.
