Miller was panting now, running on the ground was one thing, leaping, skipping, and climbing around in tree's was another thing all together. Having finally reached the duplex's again he dropped down scraping up his arms with a horrible landing.
He didn't even notice the cuts and scratches he had accumulated during his rush through the trees, he could only think of one thing, get help, get some one, even a lab tech! Any one who could help get Lauren under control and find a way to 'fix' her!
It was in this blind panic that he started to run through the village trying to find any one who could help.

Natsumi, being the soul of misfortune she was, happend to be leaving her duplex this time, a bit earlier than normal, but after her recent 'revilation' she'd decided since she was up it was time to finally get some fresh air and face the world.
Stepping out of the door wasn't nearly as hard as it used to be, especially with this recent burst of just not caring... Something about being depressed made being paranoid far too much work. So, slowly, she made her way down the stairs, dragging out each step. There was no rush, it wasn't like there was anything to work towards on this forsaken island.
It wasn't til she hit the bottum of the stairs that something caught her eye, drawing her attention rather quickly. Thankfully, the bright blues rejestered in her mind as 'not Annie' for the rushing being... and thus calmed her some. Even so, her foot unconciously moved back up a step.

Miller continued his blind run glancing only to his sides now and then mumbling names to him self of people he had met, were was Nita? Were was Awen? Hell, were was Gaius!? Any one would be of help right now.
And with that thought in mind his eyes landed on Natsumi standing at the steps leading up to her duplex. Finally having spotted what he hopped would be help, Miller slowed down to a jog coming over to Natsumi. Once closer he recalled her a bit more from truth or dare faintly, and that Thom was posseive of her, a thought that also reminded him of the bite scars in his shoulder.
"Y-youz have to help me..." he was shaking slightly, "Laurenz, she's going crazy what do I do!?" it all came out in a series of jumbled words and occasional panicked chirps, though his slowed his body down his mind was still spinning.

Natsumi blinked, not completely recognizing the person, but the last time she'd seen miller he was still human... Still, whoever it was looked rather paniced. No, more than rather...
"Help?" she blinked, "Lauren? Crazy?" Her muzzle formed a prominent frown at that, how was SHE supposed to help? She wa sprobably the least helpful person on the island, or so she thought. "I... I do not know..." she fidgeted, glancing around them, "Ah the phone?" she pointed back to her duplex, hoping her idea of 'call the labs' made it past her brain to words, even though it hadn't managed that far.

Miller nodded quickly as Natsumi repeated his words back, "Yesz Laurenz, yellow mongoose girlz?" he looked back over his shoulder flinching hoping that Lauren and Jordan hadn't followed him, and thankfully they hadn't it seemed.
Nodding quickly Miller gestured towards Natsumi's duplex, "That wouldz be.. okayz I guess... I justz." he shivered again not wanting to say what he was about too, "I thinkz Lauren i-is going feral." The last part came out barely a whisper followed by a series of nervous chirping sounds.

Natsumi frowned more, she hadn't met this lauren person, but that probably didn't matter. Oh why did she go outside? She should have known something bad would happen...
Nono, that was a horrible way to think, atleast she had been there, right? She quickly tried to console her thoughts, and turned to try and go back up the stairs, then... stopped. Feral.. Feral... Finally, almost embaressed, she turned back to Miller. "I am sorry but... What is Feral?" She couldn't seem to find that one in her vocabulary.

Miller fidgeted nervously, more and more he seemed to twitch and jump about with his motions as he looked around him, they could show up any minute.
He started to follow Natsumi feeling slightly relieved, but was set back at her question, "Feral? Y-you know likez Annie? Crazy, thinks like an animalz would!" He gave another nervous glance back the way he came, "But not likes Annie too... Laurenz could talk still..."

Natsumi nodded, commiting this word to memory fairly easy, Annie was one of her... eh, weakpoints. Ofcourse it was probably one of everyone's weak points, there likely wasn't an islander alive that said "hey, I love Annie, lets go say hi." and if there was they wouldn't be alive for very long...
Now put two and two together, Natsumi became quickly aware of why this bird-boy was so paniced... Some mongoose girl out there was acting like Annie. They did not need another Annie... So, running up the stairs this time, Natsumi left the door open and fetched the phone, holding it to Miller, since he knew more about what was going on. "Here."

Miller stumbled into Natsumi's room not a moment after her, he fumbled for a moment with the phone, each second he fumbled he felt it was another second horribly wasted.
He nodded quickly to Natsumi a few times taking the phone to his ear and waiting for the voice on the other end of the line, "H-hello? I need help... Lauren she went fer- yes! YES! Feral! She bit at me sh- what do you mean you can't respond to that right now? You don't have proof!" His feathers ruffled, "You have camera's watching are every move and you didn't!" he stopped mid sentence dropping the phone, a dull buzz floated from the phone as the labs had already closed the call.
He fell back against the still opened door before sliding down to his bottom and pulling his knees to his chest. "Why does this have to happenz..."

Natsumi would have shut the door behind him, after he took the phone, but he remained too close and thus left her to lean against the wall closest to it, feeling the small comfort of having her back prssed to something sturdy in the few moments of tension while while he spoke to the labs. She was casually listening in on the conversation, but what she could make of it, through the one-sided conversation, was that nothing was going to happen...
That was a good question, because God was cruel? Because they were doomed by fate, because the man that made all of this was a jackal... There were many answers Natsumi could come up with, none of which she would have the courage to say aloud. She looked at him, a few moments of inner debate took her, part of her wanted to give in and cry or something of the like, to just hide away under her blankets... But Natsumi hadn't been feeling herself lately, infact she felt downright tired of feeling like herself. It was too much energy, she had decicded over the last few months of hiding.. No, the last year of hidind. Nono! The last lifetime of hiding. It was all she did.
And so, exhausted, tired of hiding, there was only one thing left for the timid girl to do. "We should do something..." she mumbled at first, not too sure of her thoughts, if there even were any. "If... If they will not do it, we should. Right?" She looked to Miller, trying to puff out her chest a bit in a show of confidence, though it all together failed with her brows knitted in concern. "It is not that they have ever done anything for anyone in the first place..." She added, in an increaingly bitter tone quite unlike the usually shy and withheld girl.
Though she meant it... They hadn't done anything for her during her miscarrage, they hadn't prevented it, they hadn't warned her, they hadn't helped during the painful transformations, they hadn't helped while Thomas had gone through his week-long torture, they hadn't helped with Annie. Nope, not one time had the labs done anything for her, or anyone. Atleast that she knew of.

Miller continued to sit against the door feeling some were between crying and wanting to just scream in rage. Slowly he became aware of Natsumi's mumbling words. He turned to face her then his head slowly nodding.
"Yes... that is right..." he got up slowly turning in full to face Natsumi, "We'll need other though, if she's with Jordan... well that could be really badz." He faintly recalled the look as Jordan protected the dead rabbit, his meal, and wondered just how dangerous he him self would be if he stood between them and Lauren, but it would be best not to mention that for now.
"But we'll need otherz, if we get more people it should be easier to doz right?"

Natsumi wasn't sure who Jordan was, but then again she wasn't sure who Lauren was either... And she wasn't even sure who this was, but he seemed to know her, so she was just going to pretend she knew him as well out of curtosy's sake.
Listening to what she could of Miller's botched english, it was hard enough to understand people without accents.. especially without using it in so long, she felt somewhat more empowered. For one, she had a good idea, and two, she really liked the idea of other people. "We will go to the.. ah... " She paused, mentally cursing her vocabulary failure at a time like this. "Ca..cafe." she finished, though it wasn't spot on it was close enough. "There are usually people there." She explained, fisting her hands and moving around Miller to the door.
As she hurried down the steps, she vaugly recalled a few fights her brother's had to quell when they arose from tourists at the shrine. They were few and far between... but maybe it was something like that? Though she wasn't sure what she'd do if it was, afterall she didn't have half the physical power her brothers did. Or atleast one of her brothers.

Miller followed Natusmi down the steps stopping just at the bottem thinking for a moment, "You go with out me, I'm gona head to my duplexz, see if I can finds a few other peoplez maybe?"
He stood beside Natsumi and pointed off towards duplex 77, "Duplex 77, meet me there sometimez if you find any one? I'll keeps looking for Lauren too..."
He looked around once last time before giving Natsumi a little nod of the head, "Thank you for helpingz me." And with that he turned about heading to his own duplex. Hoping that by some slim chance he would find a sniffling mongoose at it instead of a feral monster.

Natsumi looked back when she heard his voice, taking a few seconds to let the instructions sink in, make sure she understood them correctly, and so on... "Hai-Ah uh yes." She breifly fumbled, flinching at her word mixup. That's what she got for keeping to herself for so long though...
"77. Yes." She gave a half hearted smile, atleast that was an easy one to remember. Two sevens.
"Ah... It is not a problem." She responded quickly, before turning away to make a quick paced walk for the cafeteria... Hopefully she'd find some people to help.
