Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay den...

Niko will be....a Snow Monkey!!!!

At 25%

"So.. Hot..." Nikkos's fusing teeth click together, a few of his fingers fused together and some body fat built up on his body. He pants, leaning forwards, as the stray yellow feathers growing from his eyebrows twitch, "Why did they pick an artic animal? Why?"

Looking at his flippers, he tries to wiggle his fingers apart, the tips still loose, "A tailor with no hands. Good thing I have a sewing machine..." He then freezes as he notices Nicholas in the tree next to him, "Um..."

He then lets out a sigh, "Oh, good, your not a Newbie. I really didn't want to be the one to tell you the news about this island..."

Streatching, he hops towards the monkey man, "You know, I've been wondering -- how painful is it to turn into a primate? Wait... You have nothing to compair it to, nevermind." He plops into the shade of the tree, panting, "I could really use some water..."




Penguin shall be.... A Herdwick Domestic Sheep! But unchanged and unaware!

It had been a couple days, and Ryan had yet to find find signs of there being zoo on the island. He'd seen evidence of animals, but there weren't any cages that he could find. And all his attemps to contact someone through the intercom had been met with failure.

He didn't understand it. Why had no one contacted him? Something about the whole thing didn't feel right. So again he was walking outside, looking for some sign there was a zoo here. Maybe it was on the other side of the trees.

Finally, there was some success. There were people over there! And then something caught his eye; a giant lizard on the ground. It resembled an anole, though it was far to big. Hell, most monitors didn't get that big. Then he noticed that one of the people was practically sitting on it.

"Hey!" His voice was quiet but urgent. "Don't move, there's a huge lizard right behind you. I''m going to try and catch it." A new species! Ryan kept thinking of how he'd be credited with discovering it.

Nick pondered over what he should do for today, there seemed little to do lately. But his deep state of thought, though was soon interrupted by Nikkos.

“Huh?” He pulled himself out of his slumped posture, and lent over of the tree branch while lying on his stomach, letting his legs hang on either side. He looked odd, he reminded Nick of something, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

“Hmm…it’s the same really…no matter what they jabbed you with” he smiled rather weakly, he had to try and put a brave face on things, especially since he secretly dreaded his serum. Though he didn’t have to continue his charade much longer, since a lizard person he’d failed to notice snapped at Nikkos.

It seemed his tree was quite popular today, he kept watching as Ryan showed up, great, a newbie. ”Keep your mouth shut, he’ll learn, hopefully from someone else”

“Erm…I wouldn’t do that is I-“ but he was cut off by yet another person, geez, there went his peace and queit.

Alan grunted as the rockhopper got off his tail, turned over, and resumed his sunbathing. He did not want to be bothered, not today, and especially not with normies who didn't know a damn thing about the island. His logic was something along the lines of "it's their own fault," something that wasn't necessarily fair...or true.

With that, he stayed in the shade, still camoflagued, while Nikkos gave them the ropes. Alan tried to ignore them, stay out of the conversation and spare the new people his wrath...but it was only a matter of time before the noise by the tree was too much and his famous temper would rear its ugly head.

Not a training camp? Is that what the guy had just said? As he walked towards the other people, Dallas replied, "Whaddya mean, 'not a training camp'? And who's-" that was when he actually got a good look at the guy. Now, Since his arrival a day ago, he had seen a couple of people dressed up as fuzzy animals. You know, mammals. Fur, tails, ears, etc. That was easy enough to pull off with a costume. But this guy, he was something different. He sorta looked like that weird penguin thing he had just seen in the movie...Happy Feet was it? Anyways, the only difference was that that he was big, and... still looked like a person.

And then there was the huge lizard the hug lizard thing wearing short behind them. And the guy up in the tree that resembled a cave man. ((Cave men resemble crosses between people and monkeys, right?))

What the hell? Dallas stood were he had abruptly stopped, his mouth starting to hang open slightly and his eye twitched slightly. He had only seen the others from very, very far away.

His mind didn't even register anything the bird man had said past 'for this'. Instead he ran past them to were the lizard was lying and poked it in the head.

Dallas was never really known to think logically. He could have done what most people would have done and just talked to the people nearest to him. Or he could have at least picked up the angry aura that the lizard was giving off and left him alone. But, of course, he simply couldn't do that.

Nikkos felt his anger rising, the heat and his instincts starting to get the better of him. All he wanted was some fish at this point, and these people out of his face.

Letting out a loud sigh of sorts, he continues to try and get the two people away from the tree, from the forest, and towards the Village. He didn't need them running into the woods to get eatten by Annie or Jamal, "Avoid having to tell people whats going to happen to them. For one, I'm not that far into the transformation, so I'm not sure me opening my mouth to show you its no mask is going to work..."

He lets out a bit of a hiss, looking a little ill, "And I need water or an airconditioned building." He pants, a bit of a muffled honking sound, distinctly penguin for those who know the breed, and hops down the path a little, "What did Sabin tell you? A Training camp.." He laughs sadly, trying to keep from crying, glancing at his fused hands, "Mending and making costumes is what they told me. Told me I'd make a big splash..."

He shakes his head, which caused the yellow feathers to puff up, and he looks over at Ryan, "You seem interested in Animals. Let me guess, they told you they had a collection of Exotics and needed a Zookeeper? Oh! Or maybe your an explorer and they need someone to investigate the jungles.. Thats how they got Dee. Poor girl has tenticles growing from her face now. And yoooou.." He flops a wierd looking hand at Dallas, "You keep going on about training camp. Going off to train in a tropical local, it would be good for whatever sport your into, right? I guess turning into an animal might have some advantages, but its not like you'd be able to..."


Pinching the bridge of his hardened nose, he lets out a honking sigh, "I'm sorry. Its the heat. I've lived in Florida my whole life, out on the ocean.. But whatever I'm turning into is not tropics friendly or friendly in general. I'm trying to stay nice but part of me keeps wanting to bite you till you get out of my territory."

He hops down the path a little more, his featherless tail poking from his modified shorts, "Come ON, There's a wolf AND a Tiger out here, and neither are very friendly, since one sees us as dinner and another... Well, I'm likely safe from Jamal, I don't side with the labs, but while your still human he might mistake you for employees, and last thing we need is you running through the woods screaming when this all sinks in..."
