Tommy let his hand-like feet grip at the sandy floor of the beach bar as he mulled over his vodka and blood cocktail (with tobasco for added flavor). His visit with Richard had gone...oddly...his friend having recently changed. And the change was so drastic too...he wasn't sure what to think of it. He turned his head to look at the setting sun, wishing it'd go down sooner...the light hurt his eyes.
With a sigh he tilted the glass back, forcing himself to drink like a normal person and not try to lap it up. "...******** hell..." he muttered out.

Shenzi was walking down the beach, in a bikini top and wrap-around skirt, both, go figure, brightly colored and hard to miss, the naked chicken wings unburdened by a full shirt. She had debated before coming out, finally wrapping a scarf around her face. She still wasn't used to the damned beak...
So Shenzi had decided to come down to the beach, walking down the length of it, when she saw a little sand-side bar or something. Her interest piqued, she walked up, her tail swinging behind her, giving the other person there a smile, forgetting for a moment she had the scarf on her face. "Hallo." She raised an eyebrow when he took a big chug from his glass; wine? Maybe he was french?

Tommy ears caught the sound of a bipedal walking on the sand...no shoes on...paws probably by the sound of it. He didn't pay any mind though...that is, until she walked inside. He turned his hideous maw to look at her...it took him a moment to realize just what she was. Feline paws, back wings (lucky), and bird-like forelegs...would have guessed a sphynx if not for the arms. Wonder what that scarf's covering up...probably the development of a beak, he guessed. He gave a slight smile to the girl, trying not to show off his razor-like fangs.
"Evenin'" he said casually...like meeting a half-formed gryphon was completely normal...though he too must be a sight to see.

Shenzi gave him another nod, looking around the bar. "Is there anyone here that gives drinks, or do we get them ourselves?" She asked the man, turning her head to look at him again. "Havn't been to this spot before, not entirely sure." Shenzi said, grinning sheepishly through the scarf. She should probably try and pluck the nexk feathers, they were to no end annoying...

Tommy took another healthy drink from the glass before glancing around. "Nah, I think it's a serve yourself sort of thing," he said with a nod. He tried to guess just which injection she was on...too much to be the first one...too little for the later two...yeah, probably at the half-way point. He sighs and glanced back down to his drink before looking back to Shenzi. He blinked as he got an odd sense of deja vu...but it passed quickly.
"You got a name?" the bat asked in a friendly tone.

Shenzi gave him another smile as she slid around the bartop, looking around for the drinks. "You can call me Shenzi. And you are?" She said cheerfully enough, pulling out a bottle of light vodka and a regular soda glass, pouring a good dollop inside. "Finally, some good stuff..." She mumbled to herself; she hadn't been able to get any alchohol for a few months, and was definately missing the stuff.

Tommy grins more to himself than anything as she pours herself a glass of vodka...no Zima or wine coolers for her it seemed. "Shenzi? Huh...interesting name," he said with a grin before replying, "Name's Tommy...Tommy Christian." He refilled his own glass with Grey Goose Vodka and began fishing in his pockets for another packet of blood. It's become such a habit now that he didn't think twice about ripping open the hospital sack of blood and pouring it into the glass.

Though Shenzi wasn't in general a squeamish person, she did twitch a little when he opened the blood packet. "A bat?" She asked, taking a sip of her vodka, smiling as she felt the burn in her throat. Ah, that was good. It'd be hard to get her drunk, she had a pretty high tolerance, thanks to her mom's blood. "Nice t'meet you, Tommy. You come here often?" Shenzi queried, as a conversation starter. She was good company, but not necassarily good with ice breakers.

Tommy didn't notice the twitch, he was too intent on mixing the right amount of vodka in with the blood. Otherwise his picky stomach wouldn't be able to stand it. He glanced back up with a nod to Shenzi. "Yeah...vampire bat," he said with a hint of resignation. "But...yeah I guess so...yaknow...not alchoholic often," he said with a grin, "Nah, just...whenever I get bored of watching movies in the entertainment room."
"But...you seem pretty far along...surpised I haven't seen the resident gryphon around before now...of course, being nocturnal 'n all does have its...many...drawbacks."

"Yeah, I guess. Changed... Twice now." She said, leaning forward on the counter, pulling the scarf down from her face so she wouldn't get more vodka on it. Wouldn't want it smelling like booze now.
"I don't go around too much, though I'd like too. Usually holing myself up in my duplex." Shenzi said with slight resignation, her ears laying back against her head.

Tommy nodded a few times, knowing the feeling. He looked back up to see the developing beak. He blinked a few times before taking a sip from his bloody mary. "Yeah...I know how ya feel...most of the time I'm just zombified in front of the television...watching movies I've seen dozens of times before...just trying to forget, yaknow? Get some normalcy back in my life. I try to break out of that though...you'll go nuts without some social interaction."

She let out a peal of laughter at that. "Mm-hm, and I'm the sort that needs a social life. Ignoring the fact that it's a little hard to forget." She said with a twisted smile, the expression odd on her face. "Can't say I'm the easiest off on this island, though I doubt I'm the worst, either."

Tommy grins, already a bit buzzed even before she joined him at the bar. "Yeah...we need to have a concert or seomthing here...well...those who still have their hands need to put on a concert...I mean...the labs try to entertain us...but most of the time it just ends up some sick little joke of theirs." He shrugged. "But yeah...I'm just counting down the days...that's all...just countin' 'em down."

"Yeah, I want to make a band or some s**t, to kinda smack around dear Mr. Octopus." She said, ending the sentance on a sour note. "Havn't really looked around, but most of the people I've met don't seem the most... Musically inclined." Shenzi rolled her eyes a little at that. "Assuming some could even hold instruments anymore."

"Oh? What'd the octoman do to you? Never met 'em myself...have heard of 'em though," he said, his interest piqued. He had always wanted to see how that turned out. "Heh...I played the piano before coming here...that was before this though," he said while lifting up a wing/hand.
