[ Alice hemmings ] [ Maisie/open ] [ human / brush fox ]

Maisie had noticed her. Great, now there was no denying her existence anymore. It was enough to ne sharing a room with the annoying little weasel, but now she had to communicate with her? This was too much. Gulping in a large exasperated sigh, she put on her brightest smile. "Well, you are a great roommate." she said in an incredibly convincing tone, "But that's beside the point. I came here to watch the sunrise. So sorry, if I bothered you."

Alice shifted a bit, watching as all the colors drifted across the sky, reflecting in the sea. It was remarkable, really. Just because she was a fox, didn't mean she couldn't appreciate beauty. The thought of the cool clear water was enough to make Alice smile. For real, this time. And that was something she didn't do very often.

Maybe this place wouldn't be as bad as previous estimates. Maybe it'd be fun. Fun. Nope. The people at this place didn't even know the meaning of the word. Alice was starting to doubt that she did. This place was clouding her vision. The people here were all a bit idiotic.

Well, that was life. Sometimes you don't want to be living in it.

kali returned a smile to ava, and then watched her leave.
kali then picked up a small brush and ran it through her
sage-blonde hair. with that, kali headed out.

just as she was going to turn to the trees, she stopped.
kali turned her head head towards the kitchen. she gnawed on her lip as she thought. finally, she shrugged her shoulders and then made her way towards the trees. she could find her own breakfast. it was right before her! some bark and perhaps... her train of thoughts stopped. who she craved salt. it was like heaven brought to her by the brightest angels. salt. pretzels, chips, fries, peanuts! she couldn't keep herself from the jitters, and bolted towards the kitchen.

kali opened the door and stepped inside. she brushed a small leaf from her minty green shirt. as kali was looking down, she realized she wasn't wearing any shoes. but porcupines don't need shoes. the girl's head shot upwards as she remembered what she came here for. right, salty goodness. as she made her way over to the cupboards, she didn't pay much thought to those around her. kali grabbed the round handle of the cupboard and pulled it back, her brown eyes now scanning the shelves inside. and there it was, the box with the pretzel pouches. her hand dove inside and she pulled out a pouch. kali closed the cupboard and took a seat.

When the sun rose from its slumber, Skye was nearly always one of the first awake to greet it. And it seemed as though today was no different.
She had actually been awake for a while already, having received a less then adequate number of z's, despite her efforts. After giving up with the struggle she'd slid out from underneath the duvet- a very warm one at that- and positioned herself so she could see out the window. The dark blue curtain was drawn across it. A brief glance in the direction of her room mate, Bridget, confirmed that the other girl was not disturbed by her movement across the area at that moment. Skye didn't know whether she was actually asleep or not, but it somehow seemed right to check before taking any further action in her quest to see the sunrise.

And now, curtain drawn back and fresh new light cascading down onto her bed, Skye was still perched there. Her long, slender body was gathered up in a sort of knee hugging sitting position, with her somewhat messy brown hair falling in strands across her face. It was getting lighter, which would mean the other shifters would be awakening.

As if on cue, a thump sounded on the other side of the room. It was Bridget, who had apparently just woken up on the floor. Skye couldn't help a small bubble of laughter at the scene. But just then something outside caught her eye, and prevented her from commenting.

It looked like everyone was now starting to emerge from their cabins, and she could see clearly where most of them were heading. The kitchen. Thinking of food reminded her stomach how starving and empty it was after the long night of fasting, and hunger pangs started to kick in. This was something Skye couldn't ignore, no matter how much she tried sometimes. And with the sun now shining brighter then before, she figured she may as well go too.

Hopping off the bed was her first action in getting up, then came changing into some more respectable clothes then her pjs. Skye found a light blue t-shirt under her bed, and a pair of shorts in her clothes draw. They were similar to running shorts, being the same sort of material, and black with pink piping in colour. They weren't exactly the most beautiful shorts one could find, but they were comfortable, and it meant that if she felt like it she could go for a wade in the sea later on. After she'd eaten something.
It was only then as she was walking toward the door that she remembered her hair, and how unruly it was looking. Oh well, she'd just have to finger comb it on her way over. No point in taking all that time with a brush when it would only get knotty again.

Skye had a pair of socks on, and when she stepped outside onto the grass they were quickly wet by the dew that had settled. A small frown of annoyance set on her brow, she leant down and took them of quickly, then made a mad dash for the larger cabin at the center of all the smaller ones. The kitchen. Food. Once on the door step the now damp socks were whipped back on. They were better then nothing, though she'd have to remember her shoes next time.

"Surprise!" Skye uttered suddenly upon opening the door. A look of mild disappointment flickered in her hazel eyes when she saw nearly everyone was in there. Darn, she had been hoping only a few had made it in there before her. Never mind. She stepped inside briskly, making her way to the cupboards. "Does anyone have something spare? I'm starving." Skye pulled out a box of hard pasta, screwing up her face in obvious disgust. It looked like everyone had got the stuff worth eating out already. That would teach her for spending ages day dreaming.

➳ＢＲＩＤＧＥＴ
( bri ) ( female ) ( nineteen ) ( hummingbird )

bri made her way around the now-crowded bench, stuffing bread into the toaster then lathering honey all over it once it was finished. honey was one of her favourite things to eat; sweet, smooth and creamy was something bridget adored. bri munched the toast, staring into space and daydreaming about climbing a rock wall into the clouds. when she finally snapped back to reality, she realized ava had left. something was troubling bri, but she didn't exactly know what, and if she should ask ava about it. bri decided to try and find her, knowing it would be pretty easy as she usually found the girl up a tree - well, usually a panther up a tree.

bri's head snapped up when alyx talked to her. she rolled her eyes, turning to face the boy. "no, i'm a bird because i like to sing, indigo. you ain't no bird but you think you're pretty fly, don't you?" she smirked at the boy, knowing her comeback was pretty lame, but she guessed she liked a bit of flirting with alyx every now and then. "and i can tell you made it up last night, it ain't very good." she scrunched her nose up as the boy shoved cereal into his face. "god, how can you keep that up?" she muttered to herself, deciding then to go and find ava.
bri flounced out of the kitchen, her bun bobbing up and down and she shifted into her hummingbird shift to try and fly above and spot ava.

Ava was sitting next to a mango tree. She took of her hat and jacket and she growled as she saw a mango fall from high above and hit the floor. She decided to grab a few since she was feeling hungry. The only problem is that she couldn't tell which ones where ripe and which ones weren't. ❝ I can't believe i don't know the difference,❞ she growled. Then she decided she would taste a few. Those few times her face could show the agony she was because she wanted a good one. She climbed close to the top and found two big mangos. She grabbed them and started to peel the outside and saw it was good. She growled in excitement and went back to her spot.She started laughing as she thought, imagine i had to do this everyday and i had to hunt for my food, thats a no no. Ava saw that Maisie and Alice were talking on the beach and it surprised her. But she didn't honestly care she was too focused on eating the mango. Ava climbed down from the tree because the other mango fell to the ground.

Luckily, it didn't explode, and to her right was a guava tree. She roared again with excitement,this day couldn't have got any better she thought as she picked up a few and climbed back to her tree. She had realized she was full and almost tumbled over the branch. She climbed down to a tall flat rock next to the tree and decided she wanted to have her cat nap there. The sun was pointing right at the rock through the trees. She also realized she hadn't seen Bridget all morning which was pretty strange. Even at times, Bridget would wake up Ava by flying by her window which could usually drive her crazy but usually wakes her up. At times she wishes there wasn't flowers near her window. She wanted to go find her but she was too lazy and needed her nap. Even though she wanted to tell her some girly things she really doesn't like to talk about to anyone else but she usually does to Bridget. Ava was thinking about everyone else and what they were doing on this day, and she was thinking about her crush as she started to fall asleep.

◯ twenty-one ◯ least weasel ◯ beach → kitchen ◯ alice → open ◯

maisie's eyes nearly got stuck behind her head because she rolled them so far back. she didn't like that tone. it was too sweet; for god's sake she probably had a cavity now after hearing that! she stood up and brushed the sand off her legs and shorts, deciding that now she was hungry. she made her way off the beach and trough the spaced out trees before the two large cabins came into sight.

through the windows she could see bodies and, well, food was definitely worth it. the small woman pushed the door open and she was quite glad the kitchen was large because almost the whole island was in there. she kept to herself as she made her way the fridge. despite her tiny size, and the least weasel's tiny size, they both ate a lot. she pulled a frozen pack of sausage's out of the freezer and idly glanced at the serving size. three pieces. right.

she saw the microwave was freed up and took the chance to dump a fair amount of the sausages into a plate before sticking it into the microwave. she punched in the time and leaned her back back against the counter as she patiently waited for her breakfast to cook.

xxxmiles gave ozzy a small nod and smile of thanks as he received the mug with the warm liquid. he breathed in its scent letting out a small satisfied sigh. miles looked at the people who entered the kitchen and flashed a small smile before walking to an empty chair and sitting down. he sipped his coffee enjoying the warm liquid down his throat, oh how he loved coffee. when he finished he got up from the chair and walked over to the sink washing the mug thoroughly and drying it. see you guys later he said. he picked up the apple he left on the side and continued eating it as he exited the kitchen, went down the stairs, and out the door.

xxxthe sun was up and the day felt nice enough. why not go for a nice run? he thought finishing up the apple and shifting into his horse form. a whinny escaped his lips as he started cantering towards the sea and into the water where it was up to his cannon, the cool water felt nice. after a few moments walking about in the water he trotted towards the trees and grass where there was shade. his long chestnut mane flew as a cool breeze passed and he tossed his head before lowering his head to nibble on a guava that had fell from the guava tree nearby.

[ Alice hemmings ] [ Miles/open ] [ human / brush fox ]

Alice sighed with relief once Maisie was out of earshot. But of course, as soon as Maisie was gone, more footsteps could be hear behind her. Or hoof-steps. Lucky her. She wished she could just be herself for a few minutes. But each time she did, someone else came tumbling into her path. She watched as Miles's auburn blur ran into the water, spraying her face. She spit out sea water and continued watching him, wondering if he'd notice her. Probably not. He was a bit oblivious. Sighing, she rested her head on her chin, and thought about flowers. She thought about rose petals, the fine silky fabric they were made of, the way they felt perfect in her hands.

She watched as Miles chewed on a guava. A, how simple his life must be. He was very simple, when she thought about him. He just went around, running and stuff. There was nothing really interesting about him. And believe it or not, she envied him. Sometimes she wished that she was just like her act, simple, not questioning anything, or anything like that. But she had to. She needed to get off this stupid island. She knew she did. And she wouldn't stop until she was on a boat. A boat home, wherever that was. Honestly, she couldn't say she knew.

She kept imagining this little cabin by the woods, warm and welcoming. A fire nestled in the fireplace, and cookies on a platter by the kitchen table. A young woman with blonde hair opened the door, smiling. "Alice!" she'd say, opening her arms to welcome her. That's what she wanted to think, anyway. It probably wasn't true. But she'd really like to find out. She wanted to know if she had a family waiting for her. A mother, a father, maybe even some brothers and sisters. She wondered if they loved each other. She wondered if she had anyone who loved her out there.
